Inside a dormitory at Imperial City’s university, Shirley Shrill opened the door to find that all her roommates had gone to eat, leaving her alone.She placed her belongings on her bed and turned on her second-hand computer that she had bought for 50 dollars.She adeptly logged into a stock trading software.On it, several stocks were highlighted in green.She had been following these stocks for years but never had the money to invest.Shirley clicked on the top stock and began typing rapidly.To outsiders, she might appear clueless, but at that moment, her eyes sparkled with determination. It completely transformed her demeanor.If she changed her attire, she would have looked every bit the powerful businesswoman.After a series of operations, she muttered to herself, “This stock is at its lowest point now. If I invest now, its value could increase tenfold within a week!”Without hesitation, she invested the two grand that Seth had transferred to her....Seth pushed open t
A month later, he intended to bankrupt the Yates family.If one wanted to rise to power, nothing could be faster than stepping over the bodies of a prominent family.After comforting Rosemary for a bit and advising her to stay safe, Seth ended the call.About 20 minutes later, the car reached its destination.Seth stepped out, bags in hand.Both Seth and Alaska looked ordinary, so no one paid them any attention.After walking a few kilometers, Seth’s eyes sharpened.He saw some ‘familiar faces’ up ahead!They were four women dressed alike, tall with athletic builds. However, their outfits could not hide their stunning figures.They were quadruplets and had once been Zephyr’s bodyguards!Seth had been interested in recruiting them at one point but had forgotten due to other matters. The fact that the quadruplets were in Imperial City was unexpected.Could Zephyr have come too?Seth recalled incapacitating him. Perhaps he came to Imperial City for treatment…Indeed, that w
Jade had sent over eight or nine photos.Each one was sultry and provocative, capable of immediately stirring a man’s desires.Of course, these were not pictures of her but of her secretary!Accompanying the images was a text message:[How about it? My secretary has a great figure, doesn’t she?]After viewing them, Seth was momentarily speechless. He shook his head and deleted all the photos.Inside the room, after the mother and daughter had their emotional reunion, they began to whisper between themselves.Lucy asked, “How far have you gone with him? Have you...?”Blushing, Alaska responded, “No, we have a very pure relationship.”For some reason, Lucy felt relieved hearing this.Then, she continued, “Tell me more about him. How powerful is he to have rescued you from Kronk Yates?”At that moment, she was incredibly curious about Seth.Alaska hesitated, sharing what she knew and could reveal about Seth.Although she did not say much, Lucy was profoundly shocked after hea
“You’re all already Peak Third-ranked Warriors. I’ll help you break through right now."Once they heard him say this, the quadruplets were both elated and doubtful.Traditionally, martial arts progression depended on one’s own efforts. Could he really assist them?Their doubts were soon addressed.The quadruplets’ surname was Merian, and they were named after seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.Seth called Spring over first.He instructed her to sit cross-legged with her back to him.Placing his hands on her back, he released a powerful inner energy.Spring trembled as she felt two streams of energy flow from her back throughout her body, clearing blocked channels.In just ten minutes, she broke through.She had already been on the cusp of this breakthrough, but without Seth’s help, it would have taken her much longer.Few in the world possessed such potent inner energy as Seth.“I’ve truly broken through!” Spring exclaimed excitedly, and her sisters shared her exci
Charmaine quickly said, “Don’t be like that. After how you treated me this morning, don’t you feel the slightest pity for me?”Her voice sounded aggrieved, but inside, she could barely suppress her urge to rip Seth to shreds.The experts she dispatched had returned and were currently examining Seth’s information. There were more than 20 Fifth-ranked Warriors alone!She had gathered numerous computer experts, attempting to pinpoint Seth’s current location.That was why she resorted to acting so coquettishly. She was hoping to delay Seth.However, she was unaware that Seth’s phone was specially encrypted.Never mind just a few computer experts, even an entire country would struggle to decrypt his phone in a short time.At that moment, a red light on Seth’s phone flashed repeatedly.Each blink indicated it had blocked an incoming attack.While Charmaine thought she was being discreet, Seth had noticed it long ago.As he walked back, he teased her, “I’m very busy. I don’t have
“M-Master…”It took all of Charmaine's strength to utter those words.After she spoke, her eyes turned bloodshot, as if flames were burning within them.If the young talents who pursued her knew she called another man ‘Master’, their worldview would surely crumble!Suppressing her immense humiliation, Charmaine asked with a trembling voice, “Where... Where are you now? I want to see you.”She thought that after she called him ‘Master’, Seth would lower his guard. Yet to her shock, Seth’s response from the other end of the line was something that shattered her.“Dream on. You think I don’t know you’re trying to buy time to locate me?“Unless you bring in all the top hackers from the Warhawk Empire, just forget it.“Rest early, my maid!”He emphasized the word ‘maid’ heavily. After speaking, he hung up and blocked her.Charmaine felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her mind went blank.She had been played! Moreover, she had endured such immense humiliation.“Ahhhh
“Not everyone is worthy of tasting my cooking.”These simple words carried an overwhelming sense of dominance.Jade felt a shiver run down her spine. A deep chord struck within her.Her legs involuntarily came together, and her gaze at Seth held a hint of a different meaning.No woman could resist a dominant and assertive man!It was especially so for strong-willed women like Jade.Ordinary men just did not catch her eye.Only someone stronger than her could truly win her over.Meanwhile, Alaska’s face was filled with pride.This was the man she had chosen!At that moment, Jade felt the urge to spend more time with Seth.Changing the topic, she said, “There’s a high-end calligraphy and painting exchange event tonight. I happen to have an extra spot. Would you like to come?”Seth shook his head. “Not interested.”Jade persisted, saying, “Some of the leading figures in the world of oil painting will be there. Even Mr. Wilder, who’s been rising in fame recently, will be atten
Seeing Tobie’s eyes nearly glued to Jade, the woman beside him was visibly displeased. Glancing at Seth standing next to Jade, she said mockingly, “Who is this? He's dressed so ‘plainly’ and looks quite... Is he perhaps Ms. Beth’s lover?”She emphasized the word ‘plainly’ with disdain, insinuating that he looked poor.Tobie’s gaze turned hostile toward Seth.He had not yet had a taste of Jade. How could someone else have the upper hand?As for Seth, he did not bother to argue with such people.However, his silence was taken as an admission by the woman.Not intending to let Seth go, she continued her mockery, “I’ve heard of a profession where men specifically seek wealthy women. You know, gold diggers.“Ms. Beth, be careful you don’t end up being conned.”A cold light flashed in Seth’s eyes.Just because he chose not to argue with a woman did not mean he would stand for such slander.As he was about to take action, Jade acted first.She walked up to the woman and slapped h
