When Sebastian returned to the mansion, he found Amanda's parents waiting for him in the main hall."Mr. Cole, could we have a little time to talk?" asked Robert, Amanda's father."But if it interrupts your break, you don't have to, son," Amanda's mother, Susan, gently added to her husband's words.Sebastian smiled warmly as he replied, "Of course I can. I should be the one to meet you both, so forgive me for being so rude. How about we talk on the roof terrace, sir and ma'am?"Robert and Susan agreed.Sebastian took them up to the top floor. On the way, he also explained some of the facilities in the mansion."While the designated area you have been granted includes the right wing of the mansion, please do feel free to explore the entirety of the estate and make use of all the facilities available at your convenience."After arriving at the rooftop, Sebastian called out to some servants manning the minibar there to order three cups of milk tea.Although Sebastian was currently cravin
Sebastian chose not to think about it further, he asked something else:"How much profit did we make from all these sales?""This is Cole's Company Limited's first sale, sir, so the profit is less than $200,000," Rachel replied sheepishly."That's not a bad thing." Sebastian smiled with satisfaction. "I did not target any monetary gain from the establishment of Cole's Company Limited. Doing business is just a formality, but the main thing is to dominate the underground market and beat all my competitors. So, if you need money to expand this business further, you should not hesitate to ask me for it."After confirming that Rachel was capable of handling all these jobs, Sebastian immediately called Drake to meet him in a soundproof room.When he entered the room, Drake was ready in his neat and polite work clothes. He was no longer in his pajamas and had a glass of cold beer in his hand."Sir, you called me," Drake said."Yes, please have a seat." Sebastian pointed to the chair in front
Sebastian returned home after making contact with people who were also hostile to the De Angelis brotherhood.He immediately called Thomas."What can I do for you, sir?""I would like to arrange a dinner for 10 people at Jade Lotus Restaurant, could you help me with that?""Of course, sir. It will be ready at 7 pm."Sebastian looked at his watch, finding that seven pm was still two hours away.Just then, he received a message from Raphael.[Eldest, did you just pay a visit to Albert's house? You must be in trouble. Why don't you call me now and maybe I can help in some way?]Upon receiving Raphael's message, Sebastian saw it as a chance to garner extra support in addressing the menace posed by the De Angelis Brotherhood. While he had reservations initially about entangling his younger brother in such a perilous affair, Sebastian believed that the present moment called for more than just his solitary efforts. He recognized Raphael's access to resources and extensive network as assets t
Harrison continued his remarks even though he could see that Sebastian was not at all pleased with him."I must admit, Mr. Cole, I'm quite curious. How exactly did you achieve all of this? From being a destitute and unsavory presence in the esteemed Luxington Hill, you've now managed to secure the foremost company in the town seemingly overnight. One would think you'd have met your end on the streets after that incident when your ex-fiancé's current lover delivered a punch to your face. It almost sounds like a miracle, doesn't it?"Raphael wanted to pull something out of his pocket with an angry expression, but Sebastian immediately signaled for him to stop."Mr. Sterling's observation does carry a certain validity. It's conceivable that you employed deception to alter your fortune so dramatically. Are you now attempting to deceive us too?"Now all the guests looked at Sebastian skeptically. Waiting for his answer.Sebastian's smile took on an enigmatic quality as he responded with a
The dinner was finally over when Sebastian announced the results of the meeting."Our alliance will be called the Dragon Alliance. A dragon will never be defeated by a mouse, a monkey, or even a lioness," he shouted loudly.After Sebastian announced the name "Dragon Alliance", the atmosphere in the room changed. There were slight smiles and cheers of approval from the guests present.This name seemed to describe the strong spirit and courage they wanted to instill in this alliance.Sebastian pressed on, "I envision the Dragon Alliance as an emblem of fortitude, unity, and steadfastness. Our mission extends beyond combating the De Angelis Brotherhood; it encompasses safeguarding the city against any manifestations of chaos and malevolence. Together, we shall forge a brighter tomorrow."After the announcement, Sebastian moved on to establishing the alliance's leadership structure. He politely asked everyone present for permission to assume leadership.Sebastian explained that the leader
"Do you have time this afternoon?" asked Sebastian.Amanda replied with a touch of unease, "I need to handle something over at Skyzone Company. You see, we're gearing up to launch a significant project on the east coast.""Is that something Secretary Will can manage?"Amanda thought for a moment before answering, "Yes, actually he can handle it. But as deputy director, I feel responsible for supervising directly. This is one of the big projects that we have been preparing for for a long time."Sebastian smiled gently. "I understand how important the project is to you. However, how about you forget about work today and spend some time with me?"Amanda was a little surprised by Sebastian's offer. "But, Sebastian, I have responsibilities at the company..."Sebastian raised his hand in a friendly manner. "I know, Amanda. But sometimes we should also give ourselves a chance to relax and enjoy the moment. I want to take you to a boutique and pick out a beautiful outfit. You need to look you
Sebastian was a little surprised to see that the penalty amount for failing the mission was far greater than all the God Points he currently had.So, the system was saying that Sebastian had no other choice but to win.Giving revenge 10 times? That's an easy one!Sebastian quickly swatted away Amanda's hand that was about to take the money from her purse."Sisca... that's your name, isn't it?" Sebastian stared at a name pin on the maid's dress. "I was wondering, what family are you from? If you're not from a well-respected family, you certainly don't dare to kick us out of this boutique."With a haughty face, the maid replied, "Yes, I am Sisca from the famous Long Family. If you think of me as a servant here, then you're wrong. I'm the assistant manager, so I have the right to do anything in this boutique, including throwing you out!"Sebastian then typed a message to Drake Falcon, the head of his intel team, to find information on the Long Family. A few seconds later, Drake sent some
"Ho...how can this be?" Deng Long stammered. "You own one of the most lavish mansions in Grandeur Springs. How could you arrive at my boutique in such an inexpensive car?" Sebastian sneered, "Do you believe that every wealthy individual is obligated to flaunt a luxury car? A narrow-minded perspective.""Mr. Long, time is of the essence. Your daughter is currently in my company, and I find her rather appealing for some companionship. Thus, it would be unwise for you to feign ignorance," Sebastian stated.Not finding the best option, Deng Long finally opened the file and signed all the documents inside.Deng Long's face turned deathly pale as he realized that he no longer had any possessions at this time.He lost everything in just a few minutes!Deng Long couldn't blame anyone but his daughter for being rude to the young master of Grandeur Springs."I've signed it all," Deng Long said in a bitter voice. "Are you satisfied now?"Sebastian's smile held a sense of fulfillment. "You should
