Chapter 1

”My apologies for being late!”The door to the meeting room of Thompson Pharmaceutical Group was suddenly opened. Sean Young walked, dressed head to toe in a white cowboy outfit.The members of the Thompson family fully occupied the meeting room. All of them had peculiar looks on their faces when they noticed the poorly-dressed Sean entrance.“Bold of you to return, Sean Young. It’s been five whole years and yet you’ve produced absolutely no results in your career! I think the company’s just paying you to not do anything. What on Earth did the Thompson family do to deserve a parasite like you?”The general manager, Houston Thompson’s, voice instantly filled the room the moment Sean walked in. The entire room’s atmosphere felt menacingly threatening.Sean’s expression remained unchanged against Houston’s wrath. He had long since gotten used to such aggression. In his five years with the company, Houston would often seize any opportunity he could to mock Sean.Five years ago, Old M

Chapter 2

At this moment, the gaze of every single member of the Thompson family changed. They seemed as if they had seen a monster.Houston was especially so. His entire jaw had dropped. His mouth was opened so widely, five to six eggs could easily fit in it.As he recalled how he mocked Sean earlier, then thought about the current situation, he felt like he had been slapped.For the five years of Sean being in the Thompson family, he contributed nothing, and now there was suddenly a contract worth 300 thousand? This was a bombshell; every single member of the Thompson family was stunned. Even Maisie was wide-eyed at this moment.Sean grinned as he noticed every single person’s stunned look.His test was done. He was able to make it to the Thompson Family Summit. Sean had already expected Houston and the others to make it very difficult for him. Sean was prepared for it.The Peerless Dragon controlled many industries in the world, and now that he was the leader of the most powerful secret

Chapter 3

Sean fished out his phone to make a phone call after he left.“Moses, make the necessary arrangements for me. I want to meet with the master of the Quarles family.” Sean spoke softly.“Yes, Young Master!” Moses's voice came from the other end of the call.Moses would have been returning to the Great Central Land since Sean’s test was over. He would be focusing on serving Sean.The Quarles family was one of the ten wealthiest families in all of the Great Central Land—owning many businesses and assets worth over ten billion bucks. Among the ten families, the Quarles’ was relatively outstanding.Sean knew that if he was to go ahead and seek an audience with the master of the Quarles family, he would be taken for a mad man and be kicked out regardless. Hence, he required Moses’ help.Although his test was over, as the Supreme Leader himself, his identity and status was unique. Now was not a good time for him to expose who he was.The first point was because he was not powerful enoug

Chapter 4

At this moment, a cold aura immediately enveloped the entire room.A number of global economic powerhouses were in alliance to whip up a storm?The Quarles family’s stocks were freefalling?In a blink of an eye, the Quarles family had lost ten to twenty billion bucks?George trembled when he heard that. He almost passed out.However, it seemed all of that was merely just the beginning, as the supervisor for their IT department barged in to add more bad news. “Chairman, it’s really bad. Our company is being attacked by world-class hackers. All our computers are completely dead. Even the company’s internet network is crippled. All our confidential files have been leaked.”“Chairman, not good. All of our business partners are suing us for breach of contract. They’ve already sent our legal team a lawyer’s letter as a warning!” The legal department’s supervisor frantically told George.“Chairman sir, it’s not good…”In just a moment, countless people came barging into the chairman’s

Chapter 5

”The trashbags Sean and Maisie successfully obtained the business contract? Really? They wouldn’t be lying now, would they?” Everyone was staring at them with a skeptical gaze.Maisie walked forward and coldly exclaimed, “I, Maisie Thompson, have always been honorable. Why would I lie to you all about a fake contract?”Every single one of the Thompson family members looked shocked when they realized Maisie did not seem like she was joking.Did Houston not loudly proclaim that Young Master Luis had already agreed to work with him earlier? Why was there another contract in Maisie’s hands then?“Let me have a look, Maisie!” Old Madam Thompson spoke in a deep voice.Old Madam Thompson wore extreme skepticism on her aging face since her own grandson was very close with Young Master Luis. How could Maisie possibly get the Quarles family’s business contract?Old Madam Thompson knew Maisie would most likely be lying. She did not really have the agreement. It was nothing but a farce Maisi

Chapter 6

Houston could not tolerate Sean talking back to him. Full of contempt, Houston, answered back, "What is wrong with you, Sean? Are you deaf? Did you not just hear what Luis said?""Even now, you two still think you could get the contract?" At this moment, all the members of the Thompson family all wore very delighted expressions.From the perspectives of all present, Sean and Maisie getting their hands on the contract seemed impossible. Now that Luis had added oil to the flames with his own appearance to reconfirm that the contract was meant for Houston. Now, even the crowd was convinced that Houston was the one who obtained the contract instead.Luis turned around to face Sean. His face clearly expressed that the man before him was nothing but a joke. "How could my family's contract be handed over to someone like you? You two sure make a great team; one of you is scumbag, and the other is a woman with terrible luck. When I get back, I’ll be sure to fire my secretary for being so car

Chapter 7

"It's the head of the Quarles family!" The crowd all dropped their jaws as soon as George Quarles entered the scene.As the head of Quarles family, George was always greeted with honor. No one in the building, in the wildest mind, could conceive that the head of one of the ten prestigious families had set foot in the Thompson Pharmaceutical Group building. Old Madam Thompson's face was pale stone. She eagerly stepped forward to George to greet him, "It is my honor to meet you, Sir!" George turned a blind eye to her, instead rushing toward his son, Luis. Meeting such an honored man with such a high position was a rare opportunity, so much so that if he were to just walk by and ignore someone, it was reason for shame. "Dad, why…why are you here?" Luis was infuriated at the sight of his father.This agreement between the Quarles and the Thompsons was solely his decision. He had yet to bring up to his father, George Quarles. George looked like he had steam coming out from his ears

Chapter 8

Maisie Thompson was everything to Sean Young. Whoever picked on her picked a fight with Sean. What Old Madam Thompson had done to Maisie fueled his rage. The moment Maisie asked, Sean would serve Maisie the entire world on a silver platter.As the test was over, no one saw Sean as a scumbag anymore. With the tremendous power that came with being the new Supreme Leader, he could make Maisie Thompson the next heir in line with one phone call. "Maisie, if only you wanted to be the head of this family, this whole thing would blow over!" Sean insisted.Maisie smiled as she looked at Sean's serious face. "Silly, take care of yourself!" Maisie turned and headed to her office. In her office, she forced a smile, as she nearly convinced herself to believe what Sean said earlier.Reflecting on her earlier intentions of being the head of Thompson family, the wry smile on her face was even more obvious. How on Earth did she ever believe in Sean?Maisie was well aware that the key to today's s

Chapter 9

"Hey, did you all hear the latest rumor? Some anonymous mogul bought The Kiss of Angel at a 100 million bucks!""Yeah, I heard the news earlier too. Goodness, 100 million bucks for a diamond ring? What mogul could have afforded the Kiss of Angel?"In the meantime, citizens of the Great Central Land were all speculating who the buyer was. This stirred up the prestigious families as well. Buying the Kiss of Angel with that much money without a second thought was no doubt the work of an extraordinary being.Sean had no idea that his acquisition of the Kiss of Angel would cause such an uproar within the Great Central City.The marketing department had a very simple and direct goal, making them the driving force of their company’s business. Sean had spent his last five years in that department doing absolutely nothing. At that moment, Sean realized that he was out of cigarettes and made his way to the office hall. Upon entry, discussions from envious people came from everywhere."Won

Chapter 10

The concierge’s face was very unpleasant as he glared at Sean. He had no mercy for Sean. To the concierge, Sean was just penniless, he was penniless, sick in the head, and a trouble maker.It was normal for such a luxurious hotel to encounter a few poverty-stricken vagabonds coming forward for the fun of it. The concierge was determined that Sean was one of those people. Being humiliated in front of everyone, Sean's face suddenly turned serious. "Poor, you say?"Knowing that Sean did not grasp the situation, the concierge quickly added, "Something else to add? Young man, do you even realize where you’ve stepped foot? Do you know how much it would cost to book the hall? Ten million bucks! At least that amount! You would never make that much even if you worked your *ss off your entire life."The concierge then turned around and glared at the waiter. Mercilessly, he barked, "Next time, just shoo beggars like him off the premises!""S…sir!" The waiter was trembling after being yelled
