At this moment, Elliot was seated in his office at Pegasus Enterprise and standing across his desk were a few of his employees from the IT department.

The atmosphere inside the room was very tense as he was currently scolding them. He had given them the task of gathering information on the robbery case related to cross corporation but they were still not able to find out any clue about the culprit.

Seeing that Chris was calling him on his cellphone, Elliot instantly became nervous. However, he dared not to keep Chris waiting so he hurriedly picked up the call.

“Sir, I apologize for not calling you sooner. I hate to inform you that we have not been as bke to make any reasonable progress finding out whoever is responsible for the theft.”

Elliot nervously remarked feeling ashamed of himself. He felt that Chris would undoubtedly be disappointed in him for not being able to carry out such a simple task.

“Oh! …..I am not calling you for that reason. The case has been resolved so you no lon

    Chris ignored the stares that were being directed at him as he walked into the room. He confidently walked to the chair and took a seat without waiting to be offered a seat.The Ambroses awkwardly glanced at one another as they were surprised by Chris Brazzen's attitude however no one dared to make any complaints since Chris was considered an important guest at the moment.A maid came in and immediately served Chris a glass of red wine but he made no attempt to drink it.“Young man, we heard that you are a friend of my son, Dustin. Would you mind introducing yourself to us?” Darius Ambrose was the first to speak up after the msid left breaking. The silence in the room.“You don't have the privilege to know my true identity.” Chris responded straightforwardly without batting an eye to Darius. His response caused another shock to everyone in the room.A disgruntled facial expression immediately appeared on Darius' face after hearing Chris' rude and unexpected response. He didn't expect

    “You damn scoundrel! If you really aren't Dustin's friend then who are you to get involved in this matter.” a member of the family shouted Chris' actions were all offensive to the Ambroses, and anyone who wasn’t blind could tell that he was here to get back at them. “That's right! You don't have the right to question the affairs of the Ambrose family.” another Ambrose remarked “Actually, I do because my wife, Evangeline Carter is the CEO of Cross Corporation and as her husband it is my job to get rid of anything that would cause her problems.” Chris revealed. At this point, Darius finally recognized Chris identity since Dustin had got in trouble recently because of matters related to Eva “Dad, I know who he is! He’s the live-in son-in-law of the Carters who was embroiled in a scandal with Evangeline Carter back then! Don’t be fooled by his arrogance. He’s just a penniless loser who got kicked out by the Carters” Darius explained glaring at Chris scornfully with a gloating gaze.

    In an instant, five tall and strong bodyguards came out from the corner of the hall and stood in front of Chris to block him.“You’re really arrogant, boy!” Darius remarked while standing behind the bodyguards. He sneered. “I just don’t know how long you can keep being arrogant for!”Chris smiled lightly. “I’m not as arrogant as you.”Darius guffawed arrogantly. “The Ambrose family is at least one of the top second tier families in Brooklyn. Even if we’re haughty, we have every right to do so! You are just a lowly live-in son-in-law and a good-for-nothing who got kicked out by the Carters. What right do you have to be so arrogant toward us?!”Chris sneered angrily. He had heard enough of Darius bragging about their family status and using that as an excuse to justify their misdeeds. Now,he really wanted to teach Darius a lesson.“Hmph, is that so? Just wait and see then!” he remarked and dashed towards Darius as soon as he finished speaking. He flashed and appeared beside the bodyguar

    Chris remained composed and his breath was still very steady. It was as if he didn't use his energy despite the fact that he just fended off five burly men from attacking him. Dean on the other hand was feeling very agitated as he fixed his deadly gaze upon Chris. At this point there was no one blocking the path between him and Chris which made him very exposed but he wasn't intimidated in the slightest. “Mr. Ambrose, you still haven't given me a response to my question.” Chris remarked in a gentle voice. Dean frowned slightly. Of course, he wouldn’t be that naive as to think that Chris randomly came across the knowledge of their dubious actions towards cross corporation unless he got it from a reliable source. Hence,there was no point covering it since Chris' accusation was accurate to begin with. “I have no obligation to give you an answer but there is nothing you can do about it even if I admit to the accusations. You're insignificant nobody and your social status is incomparab

    Bruce frowned. But when he saw the person’s face clearly, he immediately felt a chill and roared hysterically in rage, “Logan!” “What? Dustin? Is it Dustin Ambrose?” “Oh my god! The person on the ground is actually Dustin Ambroses?” Only then did the crowd in the room understood that this matter was more serious that it seemed. Dustin was actually a direct descendant of the Ambrose family and despite his shortcomings, he was still Dean favorite grandchild. But Dustin has been seriously beaten up by Chris and was now covered in blood with his eyes closed and his face pale. His legs were twisted at an awkward angle. He had clearly had his legs broken. Furthermore, the rest of his body was covered in injuries! Dean was infuriated. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his eyes were bloodshot! It was just like Chris was slapping the Anbrose family directly in the face! “I want you dead! Someone, come here!” Dean could no longer maintain his expression as he hollered furiously.

    Rumor had it that after Griffin gained a stable foothold in the Ambrose family, he stopped being involved with those illegal and sordid businesses. Throughout the decades that the Ambrose had been providing for him, he had never once attacked anyone. Thus, the public had never heard of him and were unaware that the Ambroses had such a powerhouse fighter since the Ambroses family had kept his existence hidden and only used him during dire situations. But now that Griffin had suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall, he was obviously out to attack Chris. Clearly, Chris s had provoked the authority of the Ambrose, which was a major threat to them. “Gruffin, I’ll leave this punk to you to handle.” After Dean issued this command, Griffin immediately stepped forward towards Chris. He glared daggers at Chris with a bloodthirsty killing intent in his eyes. “Don't worry, mr. Ambrose. I will take care of this bastard.” Griffin proudly declared as he sized up Chris with his eyes. “The res

    Griffin coughed out a mouthful of blood. He was in a state of disbelief but he didn't want to admit that he would be overpowered by Chris. He immediately sprung back to his feet and dashed towards Chris again.Arriving a few feet away from Chris, he swung his feet to perform his signature move as he had no intention of holding back any longer. Chris also balled his feet and launched it forward. A tremendous and unparalleled force coursed through Griffin leg as Chris fist collided with his leg. In an instant, a loud cracking sound resonared in the room and he felt his leg go limp as though a massive electric current had struck him. He was also sent flying by the overwhelming force that was impossible to resist!Boom!Griffin body slammed against a large marble pillar at the back of the hall. With a loud crack, his spine shattered as he spat out a mouthful of blood that sent the black mask on his face flying away.His face was covered in blood, and his body turned limp as he slid down

    Chris shook his head. It was clearly obvious that Dean was making a biased justification because of his favoritism to his family. “You feel miserable and angry seeing your grandson beaten up. But when your grandson treats others like this and bullies others, you just laugh it off and don’t take it seriously at all! “If he does something wrong, he should be punished. Since you won’t discipline your grandson, someone else will do so on your behalf!” “Your grandson is human, but so are others. Why should they be bullied by you? Don’t you understand the principle of ‘do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you’?” Dean scowled as he was irritated by Chris' words. “Who do you think you are? Do you think you can do justice for the world? Let me tell you, in this world, people with power, status, and wealth are superior to others! We are naturally much more noble than you! How can you, a penniless bastard, compare to my grandson?! “If you dare to beat up my grandson, I

    “Where have you been all day, Chris?” Kate’s voice rang through the house. “Do you even know what time it is? You think that you can. Just come and go as you please” Chris’s voice was calm, composed. “I had things to take care of, Mother.” “Oh, so you disappear for days, come back whenever you please, and don’t even think to explain?” “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you.” Kate scoffed. “Do you even care about this family? About Eva?” Eva clenched her fists. Why did Mom always have to bring me into everything? Chris remained patient. “I do care, Mother. But I had no choice. I had something important to handle.” Kate exhaled sharply. “You better not bring trouble to this house, Christopher.” Chris didn’t respond. He quietly climbed the stairs. Then came the sound of footsteps. Eva barely had time to react before she noticed Chris making his way up the stairs. Her heart pounded. Would he come to her room? Would he apologize? But instead, he walked straight past her

    The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the Cross Corporation building in a soft glow as employees exited the towering glass structure in waves. Eva Carter stepped through the revolving doors, her heart pounding with quiet anticipation. Her gaze instinctively swept across the bustling street, searching for the familiar sleek black car that Chris always parked near the curb. But he wasn’t there. She frowned, gripping the strap of her handbag tightly. Maybe he’s running late. It wouldn’t be the first time Chris had kept her waiting due to work, but he always showed up. Always. Minutes ticked by. First five. Then ten. The occasional rush of a car passing by barely distracted her from the growing tightness in her chest. She took a deep breath, pushing away the creeping unease that threatened to settle. He’ll come. He has to. But when thirty minutes passed with no sign of him, the bitter taste of disappointment curled on her tongue. She felt like a fool standing there, waiting. No ca

    Dexter was also equally confused, he was now sweating in fear but he still tried to regain control. “Mr. Landon, I assure you, this is just a misunderstanding—” Before he could finish, Felix turned and slapped him across the face. The entire room froze. Dexter stumbled, eyes wide in shock. “S-Sir?” Felix’s gaze was ice-cold. “You don’t touch people under my protection.” Dexter’s lips trembled. He had underestimated the weight of Chris’s connections. Chris leaned back in his chair, watching with amusement. “How dare you?....How dare you disrespect Mr.chris?....I’m going to see to it that you no longer have the liberty to conduct any more business in Brooklyn by the time I'm through with you.” Dexter was confused and could only drop to his knees instantly and bow his head in shame as he wondered how Chris was connected to the Landon family. “I'm sorry sir….I'm really sorry sir. I wasn't aware that Mr. Chris was a friend to the Landon family. I would not have acted disrespectfu

    Dexter’s grin faltered for the first time. His eyes darted to his hidden dealer, who subtly signaled that his hand wasn’t as strong as he thought. For the first time, uncertainty flickered in Dexter’s expression. But his pride wouldn’t let him back down. “All in,” he snarled. The dealer flipped the final two cards—King of Spades and a Nine of Spades. Chris had hit a Royal Flush—the highest possible hand. The room erupted into murmurs. Dexter’s face turned pale as he realized he had walked right into a trap. Chris leaned back, crossing his arms. “Looks like I win.” Dexter’s hands clenched into fists. “You… you cheated.” Chris tilted his head. “Cheating? You would know all about that, wouldn’t you?” Ethan chuckled. “Boss, looks like the casino manager isn’t used to losing.” Dexter slammed his fists onto the table. “I won’t let this slide.” Chris’s eyes darkened. “A deal is a deal. You don’t want to go back on your word now, do you?” Dexter ground his teeth. He did expect t

    To be honest, Chris had recognized Dexter the moment they locked eyes with one another. However, he acted otherwise hoping that the situation would become less complicated. “You damn bastard!....I told you we were going to meet again but who would have thought that you would actually dare to come into the casino all by yourself.” “You are getting yourself in this issue just like you did last time we met.” “What do you expect? I can't just stand by and watch your injustice.” “Fine. If you want to do that You want to pay off her debt? Let’s make it fun.” Dexter’s grin widened. “I have seen your fighting skills and I admit that you are good but let's find out if that applies to something else. I suggest a round of poker if you are confident in your skills.” Chris’s gaze didn’t waver. “I don’t play games I can’t win.” “What are the odds of the game?” Let’s make this interesting. Since we both have something at stake, let’s raise the buy-in.” Chris raised an eyebrow. “How much?”

    Moments later, Emma was led into the VIP section. At the far end of the lounge, seated in an opulent leather chair, was Dexter. The casino manager was a bald, heavyset man dressed in a perfectly tailored suit. A cigar smoldered between his fingers, and a smug smirk played on his lips as he regarded Emma. “Well, well,” Dexter drawled, taking a slow drag from his cigar. “If it isn’t the dutiful daughter.” Emma stepped forward, pulling out the envelope of cash. “I’m here to pay my father’s debt. This should cover everything.” With a surprised expression on his face, Dexter leaned forward slightly, taking the envelope with feigned interest. He flipped through the bills before exhaling a dramatic sigh. “This is cute,” he said, tossing the money onto the table carelessly. “But it’s not enough.” Emma’s stomach dropped. “What? That’s the full amount he owed!” Dexter shrugged. “I don’t know what my account manager told you but I presume you are smart enough to do the maths yourself. Th

    Inside the lobby, the atmosphere was refined—polished marble floors reflected the golden glow of ornate chandeliers, and well-dressed guests moved about with an air of sophistication. Chris quickly spotted the woman from earlier—Emma. She was engaged in a heated exchange with the receptionist at the front desk. Her posture was tense, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. Chris approached quietly, his commanding presence drawing immediate attention. “Is there a problem here?” His voice was steady but firm, cutting through the tension like a blade. Emma turned abruptly at the sound of his voice. The moment their eyes met, recognition dawned on her face. “You….” She stated in surprise. “What are you doing here, Mr….?” “Chris….My name is Chris.” Chris gave her a slight nod. “We meet again.” A few weeks ago, Emma’s father had been struck by a car—an unfortunate incident involving Matt Turner, Eva’s cousin. Chris had been the one to rush the old man to the hospital and cover a

    Chris let out a slow breath, controlling the simmering anger beneath his exterior. He had expected Sean to be a problem—an arrogant fool with no self-awareness—but Edward? Attempting to take Eva by force was an entirely different matter. That was an offense that would not go unanswered. He leaned back in his chair, running a hand over his jaw before speaking again. “How did Eva handle it?” Elliot hesitated briefly before responding. “Miss Carter maintained her composure, sir. She did not allow the incident to affect her publicly. However, based on what I gathered from Miss Amanda, she barely slept last night.” Chris’s fingers stilled. He had been halfway across the world while Eva was dealing with this. And yet, when he returned, she had treated him with cold disdain. “Speaking of Eva,” Chris murmured, eyes narrowing slightly. “She was furious with me this morning. I don’t understand why.” Elliot remained silent for a moment before carefully choosing his words. “Mr. Chairman, Mis

    Meanwhile, Chris watched in silence as Eva’s car disappeared down the driveway, her frustration still palpable even from a distance. He stood there for a moment, hands in his pockets, frowning slightly as he replayed their brief interaction in his mind. She had barely looked at him. Hadn’t even given him a chance to explain himself. He sighed, running a hand through his hair before pulling out his phone and dialing a number. It barely rang twice before Ethan’s voice came through the receiver. "Boss?" "Come pick me up at the mansion. We're heading to Pegasus Enterprise," Chris said briskly. Ethan didn’t question it. "On my way." Chris ended the call and turned back toward the house, stepping inside to grab a black coat from the hallway rack. Bruce was in the dining room, silently sipping his coffee while reading the morning paper. The older man barely spared Chris a glance, though there was the faintest glint of amusement in his eyes. Chris ignored it. He wasn’t in the mood for
