Chapter 239

At six in the evening, the sky darkened as the last light of the day cast a fiery glow across thehorizon, with ammous clouds swirling

A black, extended Mercedes–Benz pulled up outside the Degolden Hotel. The grand hotelresembled a castle.

All the lights were on, making the golden building shine brightly, like a city made of gold.

The Degolden Hotel was one of the landmarks of Iverson, a paradise of entertainment, housing topten luxury brand stores from around the globe. cinemas, restaurants, bars, arcades, boxing rings,horse racing tracks, and car racing circuits.

Behind these entertainment activities lay betting operations, which were considered fringe industriesbut were also the mainstay of Degolden’s

business.

On the top floor, the sixty–sixth, was the headquarters office of Degolden, which doubled as theprivate domain of the owner.

Bang! The door was hurriedly pushed open, and the secretary rushed in. “Mr. Manning, someone ishere to see you?

The man frowned, his deep, sensual voice carrying an air of authority and menace. Throw themout.”

He had no more appointments scheduled for today.

He had no more appointments scheduled for today. Anyone wanting to meet him had to book anappointment a month in advance. Even then, he only saw one or two out of a hundred requests.

He turned and sat down, leaning back in his chair

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several of his bodyguards were thrown into the room.

His pupils dilated, and a look of shock flashed across his face. Then he saw a woman enter. Justone glance, and he was captivated.

She had exquisite features, blazing red lips, eyes like stars, long flowing hair, and flawless skin.

What stunned him even more was her demeanor, calm and confident, as if she were entering herown office.

Many powerful figures had visited this office, but none had been as bold as she was.

She was very young, seemingly not yet twenty.

Yes, she carried an aura as if she had already reached the pinnacle.

Following her were Yannis, Chris, and Jason

In the mo

moment of his shock, Lea had already walked up to his desk, giving him a once–over.

The man was about twenty–f

-four or twenty–five years old, dressed in a brown suit. His slicked–back hair had a few straystrands falling by his temples, and his chiseled features were striking. He had thick, alluringeyebrows, and a straight nose, and stood at a height of 6.1 feet with a handsome and commandingpresence.

Even though he made only a few public appearances each year, his looks alone could secure him aplace in the entertainment industry.

In her previous life, Lea met him when she was twenty–three. At that time, he was nearly thirty, hishair shorter, and his demeanor more restrained and composed.

Chris swallowed hard

She had heard of his reputation in the business world, a genius in Iverton, on par with Milton.

The difference was that he built his empire from scratch, focusing mostly on fringe industries thatmany people looked down on

She knew he was exceptionally handsome, but she hadn’t expected him to be this good–looking.

Lea suddenly spoke. Jonah, let’s talk.”

Jonah Manning’s eyes narrowed as he snapped back to reality and glanced past her at

Vannis.

Yannis’s call and muscular frame was impossible to ignore, making his presence all the moreimposing.

Jonah recognized him and was even more taken aback.

Jonah was the owner of the underground boxing arena, where the real action took place. Theboxing matches at the hotel were just for show,

Over the past month, however, Yannis, the rising boxing champion, had dominated the scene,posing a threat to Jonah’s position.

Jonah’s gaze returned to Lea, his voice icy. “Get out of here.”

Given that Lea was an exceptionally beautiful young woman, Jonah made an exception.

If anyone else had dared to barge in like this, they would have at least been thrown out with abroken leg

Even with Yannis here, my bodyguards are highly skilled, I also have sharpshooters who nevermiss. No matter how good their combat skills are. they’re nothing against my armed men, Jonahthought.

Just as Jonah finished speaking, a tall, thin young man in a black suit dragged someone in,throwing him at Jonah’s feet.

Splash!

Two guns were disassembled and scattered across the desk in front of him.

Jason pulled up a chair behind Lea and then looked at Luke, incredulous.

The last time they met was outside the underground boxing arena in Vaporleon City.

Luke had been beaten half to death by Yannis and thrown out by the arena’s staff. It was Jasonwho had picked him up.

How has he gotten so strong?

ig? Could Miss Berry have turned him into some kind of bio–weapon! But he still looks human,Jason thought.

Luke gave him a look as if to say, “Go ahead. Be jealous of me.

Jason was speechless.

Jonah’s face darkened with frustration

Secretary Lawrence Nash entered the room, shaking his head helplessly at Jason. All thebodyguards on this floor, including the armed ones, had

been taken care of.

Jonah signaled to Lawrence to drag the unconscious guards out.

“Can we talk now!” Lea pulled out a chair and sat down, looking calmly at Jonah across theexpensive black wooden desk.

“What do you want to talk about?” Jonah asked, his tone a mix of anger and frustration.

For the first time in his life, he was being threatened in his own territory and had to negotiate.

“My name is Lea Berry, owner of Riverview Hospital.”

His eyebrow twitched as he glanced at the brown envelope on the d

desk

Today, the entire internet and TV networks had launched a smear campaign against RiverviewHospital, and Jonah’s men had discovered that the Andrews family was behind in

He was curious about the person who could provoke such a reaction from the Andrews family, buthe had been too busy to review the details.

Reading the dossier now would seem awkward.

His slender fingers tapped the desk before pulling back. “Riverview Hospital, huh?”

Jonah’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “It probably won’t exist after tonight. Are you here to askfor my help?”

Jonah’s gaze swept over her and her companions. ‘Is this how you ask for help?‘ he wondered,

“Oh,” Jonah had a sudden thought. “Till give you some advice. Go replace Milton. He publicly declaredhis feelings for you on TV. If you agree to be with him, he’ll handle everything for you. In Iverton,there’s nothing he can’t fix

She could be his mistress or girlfriend. Either way, Milton has his eye on her, and she’s quiteattractive,” he thought

Lea’s expression turned cokler, tinged with anger. “My boyfriend is Alfred,”

Jonah was taken aback.

Alfred, known for his carefree, idle demeanor, had never involved himself in the Andrews Group’sbusiness from a young age. Despite his handsome looks leaving a deep impression, his otherabilities seemed average.

But Alfred had the knack for seeing what others couldn’t

In many ways, Alfred was superior to Milton.

“This girl has managed to captivate the two most outstanding grandsons of the Andrews family. Shemust have something exceptional beyond her Jooks, Jonah mused.

Jonah glanced again at Jason behind her. No wonder he seemed familiar. He’s one of Alfred’speople”

“Then why don’t you go to him?” Jonah thought their relationship might not be stable.

“You’re more suited for this project. Lea was direct, showing no concern for what Jonah thought,immediately stating her purpose. “I know your future business focus is on video websites and livestreaming platforms. I plan to invest in technology to help you build the largest platform in Aetheristhat combines live streaming and video playback.”

Jonah’s pupils dilated with momentary shock, followed by a mocking laugh.

“I’m sure your boyfriend has plenty of money and resources to help you achieve your goals. Unlessyour relationship isn’t strong enough.”

This was a blatant provocation.

“I don’t like relying on others for my work. I came here not to beg you, but to offer you a businessopportunity.”

Coming from an unknown young girl, this sounded like a pipe dream.

Yet, her serious demeanor showed no hint of deceit.

‘She’s even more arrogant than I am. I’ve never met anyone this brazen, especially a woman‘Jonah thought.
