Darren stood in front of the door of the insurance company with a proud face.He knew that today was a good opportunity to prove his worth to James and the other people outside and besides if things went right he was going to make millions from the percentage of money he was going to collect from them.As the employee went inside to call Maverick out, Darren went back outside the gate to announce "Uncles and aunts be rest assured, the boss of this scam company will come outside soon and refund everybody their money"When everyone heard this, they immediately applauded and they were all excited, and they cheered happily.Everyone was cheering except one person, James, he looked at Darren with a sneer on his face, this guy took himself too seriously and was afraid that he might end up eventually getting himself killed"Darren held his chin up as he enjoyed the respect and admiration from everyone until the gate of the insurance company was suddenly pushed from the inside.They saw the o
Maureen closed her eyes, twitching in fright, expecting a slap to land across her face, but nothing happened.When she opened her eyes, she was shocked.James held the bulky man's hand in mid air before it landed on her face.She stared at James in shock, she did not know what to say.The whole crowd gasped in shock and a hushed silence fell over the scene, tension escalating.Why is James so daring?Lucas Rattler did not expect someone to stand up for this old lady and he asked coldly "Who the hell are you? Do you want to die too?"When Lucas said this he was fuming with anger.He was greatly respected by countless people in Aston Villa but today he has encountered one disrespect to another.First, it was Darren yelling in his face, then it was a miserable old lady who was chirping in front of him.And now a young kid was holding onto one of his men's hand, staring at Lucas defiantly.What kind of animals dared to contradict what he said?Thinking of this infuriated him the more and
Everyone was stunned that James could make Lord Lucas actually kneel on the ground.Nobody in the whole of the south district could make The underground Lord bow to his feet not even people in political power.Lord Lucas was the underground Emperor what kind of man could make him kneel?Lucas Rattler and his men were scared as shit!James was not interested in taking Lucas's life, all he wanted was to protect Maureen from harm.James then said with a calm expression to Lucas who was still on the floor "I can forgive you this time, but speaking about my Matron's money, you must return everything and you must return it with the profit this scam company promised!"Lucas was relieved as he heard James' words, at least today would not be his last day, he saw it as amnesty, he really didn't expect James to forgive him.He immediately blurted out "Don't worry I will do it, I will refund all her money with the profits!"After he immediately turned to Maverick, who clearly had not recovered fr
James frowned and said coldly "And why should I help you? You all mocked me, insulted me, and belittled me. Now, you want my help? You reap what you sow. Deal with the consequences of your actions or find another person in a higher place to help you out."They were all filled with regret when they heard this.It was all their fault, and their only chance of reclaiming their lost money had slipped away.Thinking about this, some of them began to roll on the floor wailing, some began to even slap themselves crying it's all over! All their money is gone!With that, James turned away, leaving the group of uncles and aunts to their fate.As James and Maureen entered the house, Maureen could not help but ask the question that had been bugging her mind."James?" Maureen called softly."Yes, Maureen" James answered.From the curious look on her face, James could tell what she was about to ask."How do you know the Underground Lord Lucas and why was he so polite to you?"James took a moment to
The next day James took a taxi to the part of town where they deal in cars.On the radio in the taxi, there was a discussion about the Sky Garden being chartered.The hosts were all amazed for more than five years, the Sky Garden has not been rented out to anyone. They were all curious to know who could have such great power and influence.The taxi driver also added glancing at James through the rear mirror as he navigated the traffic "I have not seen anything like this in years, I want to know the god-level rich man that was able to pull this off. It must be the same wealthy man that was in that trending online the other day at The Golden City Mall boutique"James did not reply, he just gave a faint smile, he was just a little surprised.It seemed that the news of the Sky Garden being reserved, caused a lot of sensation throughout Aston Villa.Everyone knew that even platinum reservations in Cherry Garden are not eligible to dine in the Sky Garden.So who on earth could have the influ
The sales girl was shocked and she said: "Sir, this car had just arrived in our store yesterday, are you sure you want to buy it?"James nodded and said "Absolutely, bring me the payment machine to swipe my card""Ahh! The car is worth $2.3 million!" The other person said as she was dumbfounded.She has been selling cars for a long time and she has never seen someone ask about such an expensive car and not care about the price.The sales girl looked at James again "Sir, have you seen the price?"James smiled and said "Yes, I have seen the price, are you selling or not?"The sales girl nodded happily "Yes sir! We're selling we're selling!"She was so excited selling such an expensive car would give her a commission of up to three thousand dollars!The sales girl quickly brought the payment machine, and James confidently swiped his card to make the purchase of the luxurious Range Rover 820. The transaction was smooth, and the sales girl couldn't hide her excitement, knowing the substanti
James was startled a bit but still maintained his composure, he smiled and said "Ohh, this?" He said pointing to the car outside "I bought it"Maureen was even more surprised "You bought it? "Where did you get the money from?" She said with raised eyebrows.James said "I took a loan from the bank""Loan from the bank?" Maureen echoed looking at James suspiciously, she had known James all his life, he was the type that would save every penny he got and now he bought such an expensive car. James noticing Maureen was not satisfied added "There was this flyer about a bank at work they were giving very low interest so I decided to take it, besides it would help me drive you around easily"Maureen, though still perplexed, she was not entirely convinced, but she knew James would not lie to her so she said "Hmmm... Okay, but I hope you've thought this through. It's unlike you to make such big decisions impulsively, James."James, sensing Maureen's lingering curiosity, approached her with a r
James was already expecting Ronald's mocking remarks, back in high school he would always taunt him at every chance he got. James maintained a calm demeanor and said "Good to see you too Ronald, and this is my car I don't need a lottery to be able to afford it"Ronald, eyeing James with disdain, then said, "Well, since you're so confident, how about a little friendly competition? A race to prove whose Range Rover is truly superior."James frowned at Ronald, why does he always want to prove himself by stepping on others?Besides his car was definitely faster, he had a Range Rover 820 and Ronald's car was a Range Rover 560, racing with him is like a tortoise challenging hare.Ronald, seeing James frown, misinterpreted it as fear. With a sly grin, he continued, "Come on, James, I thought you liked a challenge. Unless, of course, you're afraid that your new 'toy' can't keep up with the real deal. If you are reluctant to bear the petrol charges, don't worry I'll pay to fill up your tank"
James slowly followed him behind and now that he was distracted he jumped on his neck and snapped the heirloom into two and Friedrich lost all his superhuman strength immediately.As the heirloom shattered, Friedrich let out a deafening roar of rage and disbelief. His once formidable strength drained away, leaving him vulnerable and defenseless.James wasted no time, seizing the opportunity to launch himself at Friedrich once more, he unleashed a relentless onslaught of punches and kicks, and Friedrich finally fell to his knees.Friedrich, now weakened and battered, stumbled backward, his eyes wide with fear and disbelief.With one final, decisive blow, James delivered a powerful strike to Friedrich's jaw, sending him crashing to the ground.As Friedrich lay defeated at their feet, James turned to Amelia and Alice.James then made a call to Brian to bring another car to his location."Are you both okay?" James said as he walked over to them."We're fine" Amelia answered."I thought I a
In as much as James disliked Alice, his ex-wife, he would not let Friedrich kill her just like that.Luckily for them, Amelia had successfully disarmed the bomb in the car and even if the bodyguard tried to detonate it it would not work."Listen, Amelia" James spoke in a hushed tone."Here's the plan, I am going to choose our car and once they realize the detonator is not working, you will get out of the car and rescue Alice, while I will take care of Friedrich and his man""Are you sure of this James, this sounds very dangerous, it seems this man will stop at nothing until he kills you"James held her hand and reassured her"Just trust me, we will definitely survive this""Alright, I trust you," Amelia said taking a deep breath.Friedrich was still counting dramatically "Ten... Nine... Eight..." "Alright! I choose my car, just let Alice go"Alice's eyes widened with surprise, she was expecting James to sacrifice her, especially after all she had done to him in the past.What the hell
James's mind raced as he tried to come up with a plan to defuse the bomb and protect himself and Amelia."Don't think of doing anything funny, they are seat pressure bombs, any slight change in pressure of the seats and the bomb will go off, I also have the remote detonator if you try to contact anyone you'll be blown to pieces if you think you're smart to try me then"James turned to Amelia who was sweating profusely, if it was just him in the car, he could easily come out of the car untouched but now he had to try and save Amelia.James's heart sank as he realized the gravity of the situation. The voice on the other end of the line was cold and merciless, leaving no room for negotiation or escape.James then turned off the speaker of the phone so that he could not hear what they were discussing."Amelia, we need to stay calm," James said, his voice steady despite the fear gnawing at his insides. "We have to do exactly as they say if we want to get out of this alive."Amelia nodded,
James stood there, standing strong amidst the chaos, his demeanor unwavering despite the gunfire."You fools think a mere bullet can stop me?" James's voice cut through the tension like a blade. "You underestimate the power of the Winslow Empire."The gang members exchanged nervous glances. They had heard rumors of his invincibility, but witnessing it firsthand sent chills down their spines."You still have one last chance to surrender," James declared, his tone final. "Or face the consequences."But the gang members, fueled by arrogance and greed, refused to yield. With a defiant roar, they unleashed a barrage of bullets towards James, believing their firepower would finally bring him down.Yet, to their astonishment, James remained untouched, a proof of his indomitable strength. The gang members were now terrified and immediately lowered their guns in fear."You should have taken the chance I have you to do the right thing, now you will pay with your lives!" James said advancing fo
"You've got a lot of nerve showing up here, Mr. Winslow," the guy in the mask said with a smirk on his face."I know someone that will pay me half a million dollars just for your head""I don't know who sent you but I will advise you to put the gun down if you want to live"James said coldly.The gang member laughed out loud but still pointed the gun at his head "If I still want to live? I am the one holding the gun here, I could end your life here and now!""Ohh really?" James grew out of patience and in a quick move, he turned and knocked the guy right off his hand.As the gun clattered to the ground, James wasted no time. With lightning speed, he lunged forward and delivered a swift blow to the masked man's chest, knocking him off balance.The gang member stumbled backward, caught off guard by James's sudden attack. With adrenaline coursing through his veins, James seized the opportunity to disarm his assailant, grabbing the gun before it could be retrieved.He then pointed the gun
James sighed heavily, leaning into his Maureen's embrace "I'm holding up, Mom," he replied, his voice tinged with exhaustion. "It's just been a lot to deal with.""I also heard the news, what manner of evil is this? How could someone be so wicked to tarnish the image of an innocent man"Maureen looked at James sympathetically, her eyes reflecting the pain she felt for her son. "My son I can imagine what you're going through," she said softly. "I know the son I raised is not responsible for any of those things they are accusing you of"Thank you, Mom," James said, his voice choked with emotion. "Your belief in me means everything."Maureen squeezed his hand reassuringly. "We will get through this together, James. We've faced far worse challenges before and conquered them, this is no different.""You look hungry did you have anything to eat for lunch?"James shook his head slowly."Come on inside, I have prepared your favorite meal"As they were about to enter inside, the sound of a c
James felt a surge of panic and disbelief wash over him as he scrolled through the damning articles and videos portraying him as a corrupt and unethical leader. His mind raced, trying to comprehend how such fabricated evidence could have spread so quickly and effectively tarnished his reputation.He began to fold his fist as anger surged through him, and then suddenly his mind went back to the mail he had just received from them and as he read the mail he became more furious.The email from the partners confirmed James's worst fears. It detailed their decision to sever ties with Winslow Group in light of the damaging allegations circulating in the media. His anger flared into a raging inferno as he realized the extent of the damage wrought by the false accusations.Brian began to sweat more profusely as he saw James' reaction."Who would dare do this to me?! I am not even responsible for any for the things they are accusing me of" James blurted out angrily."I d-don't know sir but S-s
As the crowd erupted in a mix of shock and applause, James Winslow stood tall, his demeanor unwavering amidst the chaos. The room buzzed with murmurs of disbelief and admiration, but amidst the commotion, Anna lowered her head as she was filled with embarrassment.Anna used to be a symbol of power in Aston Villa as she has been the deputy manager of Winslow Group for a very long time, not knowing she was a green snake under the green grass.The police dragged her out of the room and threw her into the police van like a dog.Back at Friedrich's house, Dominic's grandfather had called a group of internet gurus to his house, he had a plan to destroy James, but he knew he could not just go and attack him directly since the whole of Aston Villa seemed to be on his sideHe planned to destroy James by ruining his image."I hope you people will get the job done?" Friedrich asked the three men seated in front of him.One of them smiled and said "My Friedrich, is like you don't know who we are
“Good evening, sir ”“I can't believe Anna could do such, despite how much we are benefiting from Winslow.” Brian showed his worry. “Well, I'm giving a speech on the demise of Dominic tomorrow..” “Yes, sir, people demanded an explanation of how he died and your involvement,” Brian added “That's not an issue; everything will be solved tomorrow. It's getting late; do you want to stay here till tomorrow?”"No, sir, I was worried when I heard the news, and I decided to check on you. I didn't tell this woman that I would be staying overnight the next day.”The lifeless body of Dominic was brought to his grandfather in his compound. He was shocked when he saw his grandson lying on the floor, dead. “Who could have done this to me?”“My only successor, Dominic!!” He wailed; mucus was mixed with tears coming from his eyes and saliva from his mouth. “You should have told me before you met James; I know he wouldn't have done this without the help of the heirloom in his neck.”“James and his
