Now Josh knew that James had come for the billion-dollar jewelry. Two days ago, Tommy Hilton sought him out and offered a partnership. Tommy wants Josh and his men to steal the jewelry and it will become his property, so Tommy only provides access for Josh to steal the jewelry smoothly.Then, Josh sends Fred to steal it. Because, Fred is an expert at stealing, and plus there is Tommy helping from the inside, and easily Fred has managed to steal the goods."Shogun, I didn't expect you. You're a feared boss in the neighborhood of thugs and mafia, but why are you so obedient to James? He's just a loser guy who doesn't have anything! HAHAH!" Josh laughed and had a haughty look on his face.After speaking, Josh took out a gun and pointed it at James' forehead."Hand over the jewelry to me! Then, I'll forgive you!" James said with a flat expression. "Haha! Will you forgive me?" Josh seemed to have heard a big joke, so he laughed crazily."Hahahah! Look, this poor guy said that he wants to
All of Josh's men unhesitatingly threw down the iron rods and knives they were carrying, and they knelt obediently to James. To them, James was like a god to be worshipped!James said, "Shogun, clear the place."Shogun's mood was very turbulent, even though he had been in this world for two decades, he had never seen such a scene! One word from James can make dozens of people kneel in submission, this is so much authority and dominance!Shogun waved his hand to call his men, the bodyguards in suits all rushed forward to take up their weapons and control Josh's men. And Josh saw this scene, his face was so pale, in his heart it was very clear that his strength was gone. He was no match for James at all."Mr. James! Please forgive me! I kneel down for you!" Josh knelt down, he begged and didn't care about pride and face at all. When faced with life and death, even the most ruthless person will look so weak and helpless.Thump!The bottom of James' shoe stomped Josh's face with force,
In order to hold the exhibition this time, the Hilton company rented the 30th floor business exhibition hall.Not long after, James and Sheva arrived inside the exhibition hall.Inside the hall, occupying a very spacious place, the decoration was also very luxurious.At this time, on the floor was spread a red carpet, western-style chandeliers emitting dazzling color light. All around were transparent glass cabinets arranged in orderly fashion.Inside, there were several glass cabinets, all of which held various styles of jewelry. These jewelry pieces are made of yellow gold, white gold, emeralds, carnelian, diamonds, crystals, and jade. Including pendants, hangers, necklaces, bracelets, rings, various models and various western styles, showed the professionals of the Hilton company.The whole exhibition hall looks shining and marvelous. The people passing by in the hall are all dressed in expensive clothes, and the makeup is unusual. All of them are wealthy figures. All around there
"Director Peter, you're the one in charge of the exhibition planning, you've come and please just explain to them." Luna waved a hand at a middle-aged man wearing a formal suit."Sheva, as the planning director of this exhibition, I am officially informing you that the VIP seats for you and James at this jewelry exhibition have been canceled by me. So, you two are not entitled to enter." Director Peter said with a face full of smiles, but the sarcasm in his gaze was visible."You guys are too much!" Sheva said a little angrily, and clenched her fists tightly. She really didn't expect it, she still hadn't received the company's notice of termination, but Luna had already begun to act beyond her authority, even having her seat canceled!"You two can get out of here, there's no place for you here. Go home and wait for the notice of termination from the company!" Luna said without hesitation, her expression so arrogant.At this time, James finally stood up and said to Director Peter, "Dir
When James returned to the chair, the people in the guest seats had all arrived, every place was full."Welcome the invited guests attending the general exhibition of Hilton Jewelry Group Company this time, the general exhibition of high-end jewelry is about to begin." Just then, a clear microphone voice sounded. A beautiful woman wearing a red dress and holding a microphone walked onto the stage, a face full of smiles facing the guests below the stage."I am the host of the exhibition this time, my name is Selena." Selena smiled brightly, and said calmly, "Surely all the guests have already seen the series of mid-range products that our company exhibited. Next, we will focus on launching jewelry worth more than one billion dollars, there are ten pieces in all, all of which are the unique creativity of the Hilton company."Finished speaking, Selena raised her hand and beckoned, from behind the screen walked out a line of young beauties and stood with their faces facing the audience. T
Sheva did not expect that Luna would even use this bad act to get the most welcome jewelry trophy at this exhibition]."No problem, Sheva. It's just an empty name." James comforted Sheva, "The company's decision regarding the first place winner of this jewelry exhibition as the design director, will be in the jewelry auction later."Sheva nodded her head.Luna acted haughty and superior, she walked up to Sheva, her facial expression belittling Sheva. "How is it, Sheva? I didn't say anything wrong, right? This ability isn't even half a vote away from me!""Are you still dreaming of being on equal footing with me? Look at how the experts rated your work, they said it was tacky!" Luna said with a smug expression."You can't get cocky too soon, there's still the official jewelry auction later!" Sheva said a little angrily."Haha! That's so funny. " Luna showed a dismissive expression, "You don't think your work can be sold higher than mine, right?" Speaking up to this point, Luna sneered
Hans' expression turned cold and said cruelly, "Who dares to oppose me? Don't let me know who you are, if I find out, I will make you unable to live in this country!" In his heart so upset, his wife's work was auctioned off for such a low price."Who owns this Shadow user name? Mr. Hans already said at the beginning, whoever dares to oppose him, will have problems with him." The guests exchangedHans smiled sarcastically, he gritted his teeth and said cruelly. "Okay, for the Love Pendant Necklace, I bid $15 billion dollars! As for the Eternal Emerald Pendant Necklace, I will bid $5 billion dollars!"The word was out, so he had to get these two pieces of jewelry, and he would destroy Sheva's work in front of everyone. That was what Hans was thinking at the moment. However, in his heart of hearts, he felt that he couldn't even afford it. This was because he didn't have much money yet, even though he was the son of a wealthy family, but he hadn't mastered his father's wealth.At this mom
"What! He asked to destroy Luna Hilton's work in front of everyone? It's obvious that the user account Shadow wants to challenge Mr. Hans!""OMG! It's too hot, this is a piece of jewelry that has been auctioned off, but it hasn't been held yet and it's going to be destroyed? How rich is this Shadow?""This is so cool! Previously Hans was so arrogant, he priced Sheva Hlton's work so cheaply and also wanted to destroy it. I think this is the right retribution for him!" "What a shame for Hans and his wife!"The guests were discussing so enthusiastically, this kind of hot scene excited them to continue gossiping with each other.While everyone was discussing, Selena seemed to love this expensive jewelry herself, but this was an order from the person who had successfully auctioned this piece, so Selena closed her eyes, then she took an iron hammer and ruthlessly hit Luna Hilton's Love Pendant Necklace.Thump!The Love Pendant Necklace shattered into pieces. The pieces fell scattered on th
"You’re James, right?" Just as James was about to leave, a beautiful girl in her twenties approached with an arrogant attitude. The young girl had an alluring figure, dressed stylishly in hot pants and a white t-shirt. On her wrist, she wore a luxurious Chanel watch. She looked like she was truly trying to capture attention. James glanced at the girl. "Who are you? Do you know me?" "Let me introduce myself, I’m Bella’s good friend. My name is Emily," she said casually, pointing to the seat in front of her. "I know about you, James. You’re quite famous in this city." "Where’s Bella?" James asked flatly. "Bella has some matters to attend to, so she asked me to come first," Emily replied as she sat down and pointed to the chair across from her. "Sit down, we need to talk. There’s something I need to ask you." James shook his head, feeling impatient with her attitude. "I don’t know you, and there’s nothing I need to discuss with you," he answered calmly. Emily snorted in f
Sheva wanted to say something but ended up not asking much. “By the way, Sheva, have you picked a villa on that artificial island we talked about earlier?” James asked, suddenly recalling something. “If you’ve found a suitable villa, let’s move in.” Sheva thought for a moment and replied, “It’s too much of a hassle. I think Villa Dragon Snow is good enough. The Rahel family has returned to their hometown, and the villa has already been cleaned up quite a bit.” “By the way, what’s the story with the artificial island? Was it you and your friends who developed it?” Sheva asked with curiosity. James nodded. “It’s up to you. You can stay wherever you like. Besides, I won’t be returning to Villa Dragon Snow for a while.” “I understand,” Sheva replied, nodding as she looked at James seriously. “I’m planning to use the company’s jewelry promotion as an opportunity to visit some other cities and maybe find an interesting place. What do you think?” “Oh? You want to travel?” James a
"Are you kidding, Miss Leen? We respect Tornado Corp, but you’re asking us to turn down a profitable deal and wait for your plan? That makes no sense," one of the businessmen on the floor said firmly. "Miss Leen, what you're saying is absurd. We have no reason or obligation to delay this just to wait for you," added another. The crowd began to voice their frustrations, growing tired of what they saw as Leen’s excessive demands. "Do you really expect us to sell off our investment projects and keep our major investors waiting just because you promise to bring something better? This feels like a joke! Is Tornado Corp the only one capable of developing large projects?" another businessman sneered. Leen's frustration started to show. Seeing the situation spiral out of control, she spoke coldly. "Everyone, I suggest you don't challenge Tornado Corp! If you do, things will not end well for you. If you dare sign a contract with Ocean Real Estate Corp, you’ll regret it." "What do you mean
"How foolish! This time, the project is the construction of a massive commercial plaza in Xo City, far larger than the previous one. Carlo didn’t have enough money last time. Can he compete with Tornado Corp this time?" The meeting room buzzed with discussions. Carlo's face was grim as he sank into his thoughts. The recent incident had caused a major stir in the business community, making him the subject of gossip—a heavy blow to the reputation of Ocean Real Estate Corp. Now, even insignificant figures dared to mock Carlo, eager to gain favor with Tornado Corp. "Mr. James, I failed to handle the issue last time. It was a great embarrassment for the company," Carlo said, bowing his head, his face flushed with shame. After all, Ocean Real Estate Corp was James's asset—Carlo was merely managing it. The company's damaged reputation weighed heavily on him, leaving him burdened with guilt. James remained calm and patted Carlo's shoulder. "Don’t dwell on the past. Focus on the opportuni
"I don’t know. Maybe James and Carlo have something going on,” said Sheva in a flat tone. “Hey, Sheva, let me tell you something. Don’t let James take advantage like this. Carlo is like the God of Fortune! You have to make the most of it,” Maria said in frustration, as if regretting Sheva’s lack of assertiveness. Sheva simply shook her head, not interested in responding. She knew James and Carlo had been friends for a long time. In fact, the last time she told her parents that it was James who introduced her to Ocean Corp, they didn’t believe her. Under Carlo's guidance, James arrived at the luxurious office and sat in the boss’s chair without hesitation. Ethan, who had followed Carlo from the beginning, watched nervously. “James, don’t you know the rules? Isn’t Mr. Carlo supposed to sit there? Why are you sitting in the boss’s chair like it’s yours?” Ethan scolded James angrily. In Ethan’s eyes, James had crossed the line. To him, James’s status and behavior were clearly not on
"Sheva, there's no need to talk to him," James said calmly, refusing to engage with Ethan. Ethan overheard the remark and immediately felt insulted. "Who the hell are you? I'm talking to Sheva. What gives you the right to butt in?" Ethan snapped, his voice filled with anger. Maria gave a nervous smile, trying to ease the tension. "Apologies, Mr. Ethan. He's just an assistant." "An assistant daring to speak out of turn?" Ethan sneered. "He should be fired on the spot." Maria tried to pacify the situation. "Mr. Ethan, our company holds you in high regard. If you have any requests, please feel free to express them." Ethan scoffed. "Fine, for Director Sheva’s sake, I won't make things too difficult. But I do have a few simple conditions." With an arrogant tone, Ethan continued, "During the seven days of the promotional shoot, I’ll need a 24-hour security team, reporters, and luxury transportation. I also demand to stay in the best hotel in town, and everything should be top-notch.
After hearing Shogun's report, James hung up the phone and headed straight to the exhibition hall, then took the elevator up. According to Shogun’s report from the previous night, based on what Dimom had said about their situation, the true leader of Tornado Corp had never appeared. Even as the Deputy Director of Tornado Corp, Dimom only knew the president who handled day-to-day business and the professional managers hired by the company. However, they didn’t know who the real boss was. This piqued James’s interest slightly. After receiving Shogun’s report, James ordered him to take the team to the docks and blow up Tornado Corp’s warehouse, with the goal of forcing the hidden figures to reveal themselves. As the elevator arrived at the 38th floor, the doors opened slowly. The exhibition hall on this floor was filled with middle-aged men and women in luxurious attire, coming and going. Red carpets lined the floor, and the room was decorated elegantly. Long tables were adorned wit
"If you dare to spout more nonsense, I'll kill you!" David said cruelly. "You don't even know if you want to live or die, and Mr. James still has so many questions for you. Do you think Tornado Corp is worth more than your life?" Dimom's face twitched, and his head began to spin. Without hesitation, David threw two punches at Dimom's face. Dimom, now struck, was terrified, completely overwhelmed by David’s menacing aura. David seemed like a madman, relentless in destroying his enemies. "If you don’t want to die, bow to Mr. James right now, then stay quiet and answer his questions obediently. If not, everyone here will be killed!" Shogun said coldly, making Dimom tremble in fear. "This..." The three men exchanged looks before glancing at James in terror and quickly bowing their heads. Initially, they thought James was just an incompetent son-in-law. But to their shock, they realized Shogun was actually James' subordinate, and he had taken down all of Rollo's bodyguards? It was un
“Did you hear that? Don't come any closer!” Alex shouted frantically to his men, he was getting scared and didn't dare to move.James gave Alex a sharp look. “When did you start working for Tornado Corp? Are you willing to sacrifice your dignity for money?” he asked, his voice low and full of anger.Alex tried to stay strong despite the fear clearly visible on his face. “James, don't play games! If you kill me, you won't get out of here alive either!” threatened Alex, though his tone sounded more like a plea.James smiled sarcastically. “I can't get out of here? We'll see,” he said as he slammed his knee into Alex's stomach, making Alex spit out blood. Alex's body was shaking violently, his face turning pale.Despite the pain, Alex still tried to maintain his dignity. “Don't be arrogant, James! This place is full of my men. Let me go, and I'll talk to Boss Dimom to give you a chance. Otherwise, you'll have nowhere to run today!” Alex shouted with all the courage he had left.However,
