HereEveryone thought Charles McAlister as the man who will bring the Elisium Military to a greater height, but they failed to question how he survived while plotting on foiling the plans of the previous Secretary of Defense right under his nose. No matter how careful he planned, a ruthless man like Tony Hamilton would have killed him a long time ago to avoid anyone finding out about the scheme, but Charles McAlister survived.Except the dark world, no one knew the real Charles McAlister. Tony Hamilton was only a Secretary of Defense for the outside world but the real mastermind behind him was none but Charles McAlister.

The man had managed to disguise as Starlight for two months? How was that possible for a werewolf? She studied him closely to understand him.Manton looked at Simran, turned her, curled his hand around her neck and pushed her to a carriage that was waiting for her. He waved his hand in the air and ordered his men.“We move immediately.”They were five men on their horses and a woman who already had Nyles hauled across her horse.Manton opened the carriage door and pushed Simran to sit down on the bench. He got in and sat opposite. He pounded on the carriage and they started to move at a rapid pace.Simran was surprised at the turn of event. She was silent as the carriage sped across the dirt road. When she peeked out of the window, she saw the mist rolling around them as if covering them like a permanent drape. She fe

Through his photographic memory, he knew that there was a pizza store that served great pizza.Walking into the store, he saw someone whom he never expected seeing in this place."What are the odds of us being in the same place twice, my dear Ren." The golden haired man with gold irises wearing golden suit sat there enjoying a modest sized pizza."Mr Gayle." Ren gave a curt greeting and turned away, he had just lost his appetite."Take my advise and step down Ren, while you still can.

Barge inRen stormed into the Hall of the Chamber of Commerce, his determination palpable. He marched up to the reception desk, his eyes fixed on the startled secretary."I need to see President Thompson. Now," Ren demanded, his voice firm but controlled.The secretary, taken aback by Ren's intensity, stuttered,"I-I'm afraid that's not possible, sir. The President is a busy man, and you don't have an appointment."Ren's expression darkened. "I don't care about his schedule. I need to see him, and I need to see him now."The secretary, sensing trouble, reached for the phone. "Let me call security—"But Ren was too quick. He leaned over the desk, his eyes blazing with determination. "Don't bother. I'll find him myself."With that, Ren pushed past the secretary and strode into the inner sanctum of the Chamber.

And as for some of these candidates.. not all of them had it smooth sailing as Ren and Gayle.[VISTAKRIS NATION]Damien approached Amelia, his eyes locked on hers, filled with a mix of determination and desperation. Ella, the little girl Amelia had adopted, gazed up at him with curious eyes."Amelia, please listen to me," Damien started, his voice low and urgent."I didn't abandon you. I swear on my life, I never left you willingly."Amelia's expression remained icy, her grip on Ella tightening. She was doing her best to hold back the pain and tears that threatened to burst forth."Don't lie to me, Damien. I saw the note you left. You made it clear you couldn't handle our life together. I know how unfavorable being with me has been, but couldn't you have said it to me face to face? Why dump me like one dumps a used tool?"Damien's face contort
Building.«Ding!Host has completed the goal 'Acquire a company's.Host has been awarded two million dollars and one random skill has been unlocked.Random skill: martial arts super expert.New mission: Build and Equip your company.Reward: Ten million dollars.Failure: None.»Damien hummed his favorite song 'God Did' as he drove back to the hotel.*Damien sat in front of his computer, sipping a glass of whiskey as he browsed through LinkedIn and other professional networks. He needed a team of experts to help him grow GreenTech Industries. After hours of searching, he finally found four potential candidates.He began the video interviews, starting with Dr. Nathan Lee, a renowned renewable energy engineer."Dr. Lee, thank you for joining me today.

Frustration Seth paced back and forth in his office, his face red with rage."I can't believe it, Jordan! That damn Damien didn't die like he was supposed to! Worse is that I feel like Amelia is still in love with that trash! What does she see in that dead weight of a man!? I'm I not ten times, no, a thousand times better than him!? And now, some mysterious Mr. Hawks has bought the company I wanted! It's a disaster! It's as if the universe is conspiring against me!"Jordan, his head of security, stood calmly, his eyes fixed on Seth. He himself was also shocked when he saw Damien standing by the door that night, without as much as a scratch on him. It was as if he had magically healed of everything. Jordan was sure he had broken every single bone in that lean body of his, and he even went as to slit his throat even when he was beaten to death just to make sure Damien was truly dead. Yet not even a thin line on the throat to indicate he has used a blade to cut it was seen. Damien was h
