Zero to the Greatest and Richest Chapter 131
Inside the VIP room of the hospital, the grandpa Anderson just coughed out a blood.“Sir, please don’t misunderstand; I only meant that I want Sofia to be happy,” I pleaded earnestly.Sofia quickly wiped the blood her grandpa had coughed up, her face flushed with embarrassment.The old man chimed in, his voice weary yet relieved, “I coughed up the stale blood, I think, as my body now feels lighter and healthier.”Suddenly, an authoritative voice cut through, “Sir, please don’t make assumptions about your health. We doctors need to conduct a proper examination to determine your condition. Sometimes people feel healthy only to face severe health issues and die shortly after.”Doctor Michael’s expression remained skeptical, seemingly unable to accept my ‘traditional healing’ result.Grandpa’s gaze shifted to Sofia as he asked, “Who is this doctor who seems to be predicting my imminent demise?”Beth’s face turned ashen. “Grandpa, he is Doctor Michael, the most famous doctor from the USA.

I met Sofia's gaze, deeply aware of the gravity of the moment."Sofia, it's true that I began as your father's employee," I started, my voice unwavering despite the palpable tension in front of everyone.Sofia's eyes mirrored a sense of betrayal."But I am not your father's employee anymore. Your father threatened my job and my safety if I continued to be with you. Yet, I chose to stay by your side, under any condition," I declared, locking my eyes intently with hers."The truth is, I haven't accepted any money from your father. I even had to pay a penalty of $50,000 to cancel the bodyguard contract for you."Sofia's eyes suddenly turned serious. "You paid $50,000 to my father to cancel the bodyguard job just to stay with me?""You can call your father; I even had to take out a loan for that," I responded earnestly.It was last week when Lucia reported my relationship with Sofia to Francesca, and Francesca demanded I leave the job with a penalty.Beside that I had to pay the apartment

Me and Sofia returned to our apartment using a taxi, as Sofia's car was confiscated by her mother.Sofia, her eyes brimming with sadness, said, "How can Beth lie in front of others, and how can they not believe me?"I hugged Sofia to calm her. "Don't worry, your grandpa will wake up in two days and he will explain everything.""Alex..." Sofia called out, her voice tinged with despair. "We don’t have any money anymore.""Who said that?" I asked.Not long after, there was a knock on the front door. I found Francesca standing there with an envelope."It's your $50,000 penalty money," she said, her gaze fixed on me sternly. "Don’t you dare hurt the young miss.""I won’t," I answered and slammed the door closed.I looked at Sofia, my eyes sparkling with happiness. "See, my dear Sofia, you found a way to take back our $50,000. This is enough for our half-year's expenses. What do you want to eat?"Sofia smiled and hugged me. "Will we be okay?""I am your boyfriend and your fiancé, I will tak

Inside the Andersons' mansion, where everyone was listening and watching, I declared to the group.“I am a painter, so I want all of you to understand that the only way I can make money is by selling my paintings,”“Is it okay for me to earn money from there?” I asked clearly. “I’m afraid later Chris will accuse me of cheating by selling my paintings.”Chris laughed. “Do you think getting money is easy by selling paintings?”“I got news that the Eden Group is searching for painters for their exhibition this week. If I can exhibit my painting there and sell my painting for a million dollars, you will accept your loss, right?”“A million dollars for your painting?” Chris and also people there laughed so hard till their stomach ached.“Who do you think you are? Pablo Picasso? I don’t even know if you can put your painting in such an elite exhibition.”“Do you dare to accept the bet or not?” I asked.“Of course, I accept.”“Richard Anderson,” I turned to him. “I hope you can be a witness

"The question is wrong," I said. "You should have asked, 'How can you believe in this poor person?'" I placed my hand on his shoulder as we found a chair at the back, enjoying the warmth of each other's company."Maybe because I love you," Sofia happily giggling, and I think I'm falling in love with her naive.Few days later, I was mostly spending my time in the apartment, watching dramatic movies with Sofia, cooking daily meals, and going out for beautiful dinners.I wanted to enjoy my college days with Sofia. If anyone asked why, it was because in my past life I hadn't graduated from college; Instead, I was a diligent worker, constantly focused on finances, striving to make it through each pay period, living from one payday to the next, and laboring relentlessly with funds that never quite sufficed.When people have money, don't you think they need to enjoy life as if they were in heaven?Yet, at the same time, I took time to check on the Eden Group, which had already started to go

At the Eden Group's painting exhibition, the initial plan was to showcase amateur paintings—a venue where people could make business deals and purchase art casually.The exhibition didn't start as an amateur painting showcase; it was solely for business deals.

Jeremy was shocked. "She really wants you to die? And doesn't care about you?"He clutched his head, feeling a slight headache."How can this be happening?" Jeremy threw a vase across the room."Where is Alex right now?" Jeremy demanded, pressing a knife against Miranda's stomach."At the university." Miranda said in fear."Alright, lead this girl to find the guy and bring him here. I believe she can find where he is," Jeremy commanded.The five men quickly moved, dragging Miranda away.***In my class, I was half-listening to the professor, drowsy, when a man suddenly entered the room with Miranda. "Professor, I'm sorry, but we need Alex here. It's an emergency."The professor looked around the class. "Anyone named Alex? Please, come forward."I stood and walked to the door."What's up?""Follow us," the man said. "It's urgent."I followed them to the parking lot, where only a few people were around. I found four people with Miranda's face was pale among them. Secretly, I noticed a s

“Please don’t kill my son,” Vex Bolton pleaded. “Tell me want you want!”“Your son tried to kill me!” I yelled back the voice was echoing inside the mansion. “If he hadn’t started this, I’d be too lazy to bother him! I just want a peace, is it hard!”“I am sorry, so sorry. I didn’t know you are with Sicilia.” Jeremy stammered. “It won’t happen again.”I hung up the phone, pulled out my smartphone, and called Francesca.“What is it, Alex?” she answered.“I believe I had report about Vex Bolton trying to kidnap Sofia. Now, Jeremy Bolton, his son, is in my hands. Do you want him or not?”“What do you want in exchange?”“Nothing. Since he started by kidnapping my friend.”“Do you know we and Bolton are like water and fire?” Francesca asked.“It’s much better. When you want to kill Vex Bolton, I will help you.”“Great, send him to our place. We can try to use him for the negotiation; if it does not work, we will just go to war. Remember to take Vex Bolton's head for us.”“Don’t worry.”I w

I stared at Sofia, puzzled. "Must I remind you that you were the one who asked for the divorce.”“You deserve it.” Sofia returned my gaze with a troubled look. "You're not selling any paintings. Everyone is talking about how poor are you.""They can hate me and talk about me all they want," I protested. "But why do you have to listen to them? I’ve never used any of your money for my daily living. I even buy and cook food for you and pay the bills. Remember, I never asked a single cent from you. Why must you judge me? Meanwhile, you freely use my money.""I make no mistake; my conscience is clear," I reaffirmed."You have no money," she shot back."So, I'm in the wrong for having no money?" A headache began to form. "Whatever. We're divorced already, and you were the one who initiated it.""Alex, I have given you many chances to prove yourself, to sell your painting, but you never want to sell any of them. You don’t deserve me.""Alright, whatever you say. Can we just finish this? I do

“I do not think that we are close enough for that relationship,” I said politely as I gently pushed her to one side.“So you are playing hard to get, Mr. Alex?” Sasha looked at me with a seductive smile. “You make me want you more.”She took out a card from her purse and handed me a golden card.“What is this?”“This card will give you all-access to all Powell Group's hotels and lodgings. You can enjoy all the food and service, on our lodgings without any payment. Just think of it as my treat to you.”“I don’t think I need this,” I replied politely, having more than enough money to eat and sleep wherever I wanted.“Please accept it, Mr. Alex. It is not a payment for your job; it's just our treat to our honorable guest.”Free stuff to eat and sleep? After not having a home, staying in a hotel for a bit wouldn’t be a problem until I found a new house. “Well, I accept this. Thank you very much.”Suddenly, I felt a killing tension around me.

While I was deeply channeling my inner energy, I was so concentrated that I didn’t notice the chaos outside.I pushed the poisoned blood out of the needle, but when it was about 20% more to go, the needle was suddenly removed.Unable to retract my inner energy quickly, the blood had no exit and rebounded into Winston's body, causing him to convulse violently.Blood started gushing from his nose, ears, mouth, and every possible human outlet. His face turned an ominous black.Professor Calvin, taken aback by the sudden turn of events, exclaimed in shock, “What is happening?”I quickly tried to retract my inner energy, but the blood had already created a blockage, and Winston suddenly coughed up a clot of blood, hitting Professor Calvin in the face. Then, his body went limp.The other doctor, monitoring the medical machine, yelled, “We need to save the patient, professor!”Without delay, Professor Calvin, along with two doctors and a nurse, began emergency resuscitation to save the patie

“How many holy order members do we have ready in this city?” I asked as we walked toward the nearest park.The Holy Order had evolved into an international network of mercenaries or private armies, boasting around a hundred thousand personnel worldwide.They were now part of local underworld groups, working as private detectives, hired guns, and even assassins tasked with eliminating only the so-called bad people.They were the army I prepared to face the world in the inevitable World War III. With enough money, I could mobilize about a million soldiers globally.Taking down any country was a cinch, especially since I also owned a weaponry factory that collaborated with many countries.I had even begun developing a new nuclear weapon in collaboration with some countries, all under the radar.Weapons and soldiers were crucial if I aimed to conquer the world.“In Oxford, we have about fifty people,” Alfred continued, calculating quickly. “And we only need about thirty to execute the mis

Inside the house, as I looked around, I noticed Sofia, her mother, and Tina, Sofia's personal assistant came together.It is very rare for three of them appeared at the same time except there was an important stuff.Tina approached my table and placed a set of divorce papers in front of me.“Alex, these are the divorce papers, already signed by Ms. Sofia. I hope you won’t make this difficult; just sign them,” she said.“Divorce? What is the reason?” I asked, still looking at Sofia who remained silent letting Tina spoke for her.Tina continued, “You haven’t sold any paintings in three years. You’re a struggling artist with nothing to your name. Meanwhile, Ms. Sofia is a successful businesswoman, the new CEO of Anderson group. You two are not on the same level. Your presence merely tarnishes Sofia’s reputation. So, your marriage is over now.”“What?” I laughed in disbelief, staring at Sofia. “So this is how you see me now?”Tina stepped in front of me, blocking my view of Sofia, and sho

In the mansion of Anderson."You, a painter, what do you know about business?" Chris Wellington scoffed. "I suggest you leave now, or I'll need to call security to kick you out."Sophia grabbed my hand, her voice trembling with determination. "Alex, let's get out of here. I will never return to this family again.""Stop it, Sophia," her mother approached us, concern etching her features. But Sophia didn't care; she simply shoved her mother away."Guard! Take Sophia," Sophia's uncle commanded.I started to laugh, disbelief coloring my tone. "So, this is the meaning of family? You would sacrifice your daughter for a $100 million project?""Shut up," Grandma Anderson snapped. "Take Sophia and kick this guy out. He is not worth to be here."As a guard approached, wielding an iron baton, I launched a quick attack to his face, and he fell down.Causing shock to everyone there.The other guard who dared to come close received a kick to his stomach.As we walked to the gate, more guards came,
