"You're a godsend for Mr. Carter, managing his company like a pro," Howard chuckled.Kenny had already filled him in on the details a few days back during a phone call.He also mentioned a plan to transfer all Oceania Group's shares of Swanson Corporation to Talia, free of charge. The paperwork was all set, just waiting for Howard's nod.Once Howard gave the green light, Kenny would send over the documents for Talia's signature.Howard got where Kenny was coming from, but he had not said yes just yet.It was not that he did not appreciate the grand gesture; the cash he had made for Kenny could buy up the Swanson Corporation several times over.Like that last deal, the assets from Mareno City's three major families and the Sabine nobility had netted Kenny a brisk billion.He just worried it might be too much, too fast for Talia. She might need a moment to wrap her head around it."Thanks for the praise, hubby!" Talia said with a playful wink and a flick of her tongue."Hey, I g

"Ever thought about what happens if you turn us down, Ms. Jenkins?" asked Peter, smiling again."If you're set on this, Mr. Peter Garside, then it's a shame, but we'll just have to end our partnership as the contract says," answered Talia, her voice firm.She knew all too well that Mendorra Mall was home to big names, and giving in would set off a domino effect with the other brands."Ms. Jenkins, you're quite the powerhouse! I've got to hand it to you for your guts!" Peter said, his voice dropping. "However, you might not realize just how influential Oberon is. You're underestimating the fallout here!"If you don't meet our demands, I promise you, every top international brand in your mall will pack up and leave. Besides, if I feel like it, I can shut down the entire Swanson Group in a heartbeat!""Hm?" Talia's brow creased again. "Mr. Peter Garside, don't you think you're a bit full of yourselves?""Ms. Jenkins, I'd advise you to do a little homework on Oberon Company's backers

Damian, struggling to comprehend, fixed his gaze on Howard.He knew his guards were no slouches in a fight, yet they had been floored without landing a single blow.Howard's hand moved in a blur, and Damian was sent flying, blood spraying from his lips, just like Peter."Go ahead. Be a pawn for the powerful, see where that gets you!" Howard's voice was ice."Damn it! What kind of person are you, you—" Peter was scrambling to his feet."Get over here and apologize!" Howard cut him off."Do you even know who I am?" Peter spat out angrily. "You dare to do this to me, I swear, you're going to regret ever being born!""You've got one minute to think it over. If you haven't begged for forgiveness after that, forget about going home!" Howard's tone was unyielding."Babe, just drop it. Don't stoop to his level. Let's just get them out of here," Talia said, coming to stand by Howard.She was itching to throw a punch herself, but she knew better. That was not a game.She was aware of H

The sound of footsteps broke the silence as The Judge, flanked by four sleek Shadow Sect Elegant Uniformed Troops, marched briskly over."Hello!" The Judge greeted Talia with a nod before turning to Howard. "Sir, what's the trouble?"Howard chuckled. "He thought he could persuade Talia to join him for drinks in his room.""That's too much!" blurted The Judge, pulling a curved knife from his belt. "You're done for!""No, please..." Peter pleaded, his face ashen with fear."Have someone escort him out of the country. He can explain himself to Nyla," Howard said, waving off The Judge. The Garside family could clean up their own mess. Howard could not be bothered with such trash."Got it!" The Judge signaled and, with a swift motion, ordered, "Take him away!""Right away!" Two Troopers grabbed Peter by the arms and hauled him toward the exit."Mercy... I'm begging you..." Peter's cries were desperate.He knew all too well that without Howard's forgiveness, returning to his family

"When I got wind of what happened to Black Blade, I rushed to the scene with my team. Sent another group to the witness's place, but we were too late. Someone had gotten to them first.""How many in the Shadow Sect knew about Black Blade's mission to find the witness?" Howard pondered before pressing on.Kaison paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. "Marshal, are you thinking there's a mole in the Shadow Sect who tipped off our moves?"Howard gave a small nod. "It's definitely possible."Kaison let out a deep breath before replying, "When Black Blade left this morning, a bunch of the Quintilian Shadow Sect's team leaders and the deputy district inspector were all there.""Dig up everything on them, especially anyone who's been with the Shadow Sect for over two years," Howard ordered, then added with emphasis, "And I want you on top of it personally."Anyone with over two years in the Sect had been there before Howard took charge."Got it!" Kaison responded with a firm
