Javier got out of the car, wondering. He quickly noticed the grogginess in Jade’s half-open eyes—proof that she had just woken up.When asked why she had not gone to sleep yet, she replied, “I was going to the loo, then I heard your car, looked out of the window, and there you were! I knew you would stay here instead of coming back home because you wouldn’t want to wake me up, so…here I am, formally welcoming you home!”Javier felt warmth in his heart. Then, his eyes drifted to the glimpse of the masses peeking out of her décolletage, and his crotch felt even stronger warmth. “Well, well, well. Am I wrong to assume your urgency hides a naughty motive?”When she noticed Javier’s burning gaze lingering on her neckline, Jade flushed a little. “Urgh! Excuse you!”Despite being 27, Jade was acting like a 17-year-old ingenue with a huge, bashful crush on the boy next door. Strangely, it fit her vibe perfectly.Javier’s eyes followed the young woman as she sheepishly disappeared into the

Late in the afternoon, at three, Javier and Chad arrived at Sammy-Blue Inc’s headquarters in the state capital.Chad had not stopped shaking his head since entering their office building. “What in the name of all things holy is this? It’s godd*mn chaos in here! Does the saying ‘too many cooks spoil the food’ mean anything to them while they organize their financial department? This entire building is made up of floors filled with ‘finance’ people! Why does an organization even need these many financial departments anyway? I swear to god, nobody here knows what they’re doing!”A leader as illustrious as Chad could, of course, easily spot the problems in the company’s management and organization. What was a mystery to him, though, was why Sammy-Blue needed such a preposterous number of people working on their finances.Javier sniggered to himself wordlessly. His suspicion that Sammy-Blue Inc. was a money-laundering scheme just kept growing stronger.A beautiful secretary led them to

Javier’s phone rang just as he left Mary Jane’s office.“Old MacDonald had a farm…”The familiar ringtone had not rung for years, but now that it played so suddenly, it felt familiar and tender. Despite that, the old fox’s tone contained no fondness when Javier answered the call.“You brat, well done! Do you think your family money comes from a windfall? You spent 10 billion dollars just like that. You don’t feel a pinch because it’s not your money you’re spending, is it?”Javier was speechless. He knew that the old fox would not call him for no reason, so he retorted, “It’s just 10 billion dollars, isn’t it? You don’t even know how much you’ve made, yet you care about this 10 billion dollars? Did you only understand the real meaning of being a miser at this age?”The old man went quiet upon hearing his retort, taking a few seconds before he replied, “Indulge me. What kind of grand plan are you plotting now?”Javier explained halfheartedly, “Someone mocked me for being poor and I

After asking someone to keep an eye on Samuel, Javier saved the evidence he currently had. He wanted it all in detail, though. Since terrorism was involved, he might as well go all the way and find out everything.He uploaded a new task on the black market to find evidence of all the people and acquaintances who had worked and partnered up with Samuel, including proof of Samuel’s own crimes, as well as clues and evidence about the terrorist organization related to him. After all, terrorism was a global enemy right now.Prior to this, his fight against Samuel had been on a personal level, but it had quickly escalated to national security now.The Kerseys stayed abroad, but the first line of the vow that each family head had to recite before taking over the position was “The Kerseys are forever and always Chineans”.Now that terrorists were involved, Samuel was the enemy of the nation. There was no way Javier would allow him to keep existing.After saving all the evidence he had for

When Samuel arrived, Javier did not pay attention to him. Instead, he made his subordinate frustrate the guy first. Samuel was furious. He had expected to suffer in indignation and annoyance during this visit today, but he had not imagined that he would experience that in the hands of an unknown small fry of an employee before he could meet Javier. He was positively fuming.If this had happened two days ago, he could have made the employee get on their knees with sheer money. He could not do that now. His pockets were empty. Even the pack of cigarettes he had on him had been bought at the gas station using the prepaid card he had previously loaded there. Thankfully, the gas station had accepted his card. Otherwise, it would have been hard for him to even come here.After the trouble he went through with the employee, Samuel finally got to sit down in the reception room. Feeling his throat burn with rage, he gestured at Edna, his secretary. “Edna, get me a glass of water.”There was
