Shattered Dreams in River City

Chapter One

The waves crashed against the cliffs of Nova Scotia with an almost musical rhythm, but Aria Morgan knew better. After three years of studying marine biology at the remote Blackrock Research Station, she had learned to distinguish between natural ocean sounds and something more... peculiar. Tonight, there was definitely something different in the water's song.

Standing on the observation deck of the research facility, her long dark hair whipping in the salty breeze, Aria focused her night vision binoculars on the churning waters below. The full moon cast an ethereal glow across the surface, making it easier to spot any unusual movement. That's when she saw it - a flash of iridescent scales, much too large to be any known fish species.

"You're out here late again," a deep voice spoke behind her. Dr. Nathaniel Cross, the facility's new head of cryptozoology, stood in the doorway. His presence had been causing quite a stir among the female staff since his arrival last month, with his storm-gray eyes and the mysterious scar that ran from his left temple to his jaw. But Aria had noticed something else about him - the way he always seemed to appear whenever the strange occurrences happened.

"There's something out there, Dr. Cross," Aria said, not taking her eyes off the water. "Something big."

"Please, call me Nate," he said, moving to stand beside her. His proximity sent an involuntary shiver down her spine that had nothing to do with the cold. "And I know. That's why I'm here."

Before Aria could question what he meant, a haunting melody drifted up from the waters below. It wasn't quite singing - more like an otherworldly humming that seemed to resonate in her very bones. To her surprise, she found herself taking an unconscious step toward the railing, drawn by the sound.

Nate's hand shot out, gripping her arm. "Don't listen too closely," he warned, his voice tight with concern. "They're hunting tonight."

"They?" Aria tried to shake off the melody's lingering effect. "Who are 'they'?"

Just then, a figure emerged from the waves - a woman with silvery skin and long, phosphorescent hair. Her eyes glowed with an unnatural blue light, and when she opened her mouth to continue her song, Aria saw rows of sharp, pearl-like teeth. The creature's beauty was both terrifying and mesmerizing.

"Sirens," Nate whispered, his grip on Aria's arm tightening. "Real ones. Not the sanitized versions from your fairy tales."

The siren's gaze locked onto them, and her song changed, becoming more focused, more enticing. Aria felt Nate tense beside her, and when she looked at him, she was shocked to see his eyes had taken on a silvery sheen, reflecting the moonlight like a cat's.

"We need to get inside," he said through gritted teeth, though he seemed to be fighting the urge to move closer to the railing himself. "Now."

But as they turned to leave, Aria caught sight of something in the water that made her blood run cold. Dozens of glowing eyes had appeared beneath the waves, and more figures were rising to the surface. Their songs began to intertwine, creating a symphony of supernatural beauty and terror.

"Dr. Cross... Nate," Aria's voice trembled slightly. "What's really going on at this facility?"

He finally turned to look at her fully, and in the moonlight, she could see that his scar was glowing with a faint blue light. "It's not just a research station, Aria. It's a containment facility. We monitor and protect humanity from ancient creatures that most people think are myths. And right now," he glanced back at the water where more sirens were emerging, "something has disturbed them. Something that hasn't happened in over a hundred years."

"What?" Aria asked, though part of her feared the answer.

"They're looking for their lost queen," Nate's voice was grim. "And for some reason, they think she's here."

A particularly powerful wave crashed against the cliffs, sending spray high enough to reach the observation deck. As the droplets hit Aria's skin, she felt a strange tingling sensation, and for just a moment, her reflection in the window showed her eyes glowing with the same ethereal blue light as the creatures below.

Nate saw it too. His expression shifted from concern to something more complex - fear, fascination, and what looked almost like recognition. "We need to talk," he said quietly. "About your mother. About why you were really assigned to this facility. And about why you've always felt so drawn to the sea."

The siren's song grew louder, more insistent, and Aria felt something stir within her - ancient memories that couldn't possibly be her own, yet somehow were. As she followed Nate inside, one thought kept repeating in her mind: her life as she knew it was about to change forever, and there would be no going back to the simple world of marine biology and research papers.

Behind them, the sirens continued their haunting chorus, their songs now carrying a note of triumph. They had found what they were looking for.

Chapter Two

The facility's underground laboratory was a maze of steel and glass, illuminated by harsh fluorescent lights that made everything look clinical and cold. Aria followed Nate through a series of security checkpoints, each requiring increasingly complex biometric scans. Her mind was still reeling from the events on the observation deck, the sirens' song echoing in her memory.

        "How long have you known?" she finally asked as they entered what appeared to be his private office. Unlike the sterile corridors outside, this room was filled with artifacts that looked ancient - shells with strange markings, crystals that seemed to pulse with their own inner light, and walls covered in charts mapping underwater ley lines.

        Nate moved to a heavily secured cabinet, his fingers dancing across a complex lock. "Since the moment you arrived at Blackrock. Your bio-readings were... unique." He pulled out a thick file with her name on it. "But your mother knew long before that."

        "My mother?" Aria's voice cracked. "She died when I was three. All I have are some photos and my father's stories about her love for the ocean."

        "Your mother didn't die, Aria." Nate's voice was gentle but firm as he placed an old photograph on his desk. "She returned."

        The photograph showed a woman standing on these very cliffs, her wild dark hair streaming in the wind. She looked exactly like Aria, except for her eyes - they held that same otherworldly blue glow Aria had seen in her own reflection moments ago.

        "That's impossible," Aria whispered, but even as she spoke, memories began to surface - the way she could hold her breath for impossibly long periods, her uncanny ability to predict storms, the strange songs that sometimes filled her dreams.

        Suddenly, the lights flickered, and a low vibration ran through the building. Nate's expression turned serious. "They're testing the barriers," he said, moving to a bank of monitors showing underwater footage. Multiple figures darted past the cameras, their movements too quick and graceful to be human.

        "What barriers?" Aria asked, joining him at the monitors.

        "Electromagnetic fields designed to keep them at bay. But with their queen so close..." He glanced at her meaningfully. "They're stronger than usual."

        "I am not their queen," Aria said firmly, though something deep inside her stirred at the words.

        "No, but you're her daughter. The first successful hybrid in centuries." Nate pulled up more files on his computer. "Your mother was their queen, and when she fell in love with your father, it created a diplomatic crisis. A siren queen choosing a human was unprecedented."

        The vibrations grew stronger, and somewhere in the facility, an alarm began to sound. On the monitors, the sirens' movements became more coordinated, more purposeful.

        "They're not just testing anymore," Nate muttered. He grabbed what looked like an ancient trident from a wall display. "They're breaking through."

        Aria's head suddenly filled with voices - not speaking English, but a fluid, musical language she somehow understood. They were calling to her, telling her to come home, to take her rightful place.

        "Make it stop," she gasped, pressing her hands to her temples.

        Nate reached for her, but stopped short when he saw her eyes - they were glowing brighter now, and her skin had taken on a slight iridescent sheen. "Fight it, Aria. You're not just one of them. You're both human and siren. That's what makes you special."

        The facility shook more violently, and the lights went out completely. In the darkness, Nate's eyes glowed silver again, and Aria could finally ask the question that had been nagging at her.

        "What are you?" she whispered. "You're not entirely human either, are you?"

        Before he could answer, the reinforced windows of his office exploded inward in a shower of glass and seawater. In the opening hovered three sirens, their beauty terrible and magnificent. The one in the center spoke, her voice carrying both authority and disdain.

        "Step away from the princess, Guardian. She belongs with her people."

        Nate raised the trident, which began to glow with an electric blue light. "She belongs where she chooses to belong."

        As seawater swirled around them, Aria felt power surge through her body - raw, ancient, and demanding to be released. She had a choice to make, but first, she needed answers.

        "Tell me everything," she said, her voice carrying a new note of command that surprised even her. "About my mother, about what you are," she looked at Nate, "and about why I'm really here."

        The siren queen smiled, showing those pearl-like teeth. "Oh, little princess. You're here because a war is coming. And you," her glow intensified, "are the key to everything."

Chapter Three

The seawater swirling around Aria's feet felt alive, responding to her emotions like an extension of her body. The three sirens remained suspended in the shattered window frame, their ethereal forms casting an otherworldly glow throughout Nate's flooded office. The lead siren - who had introduced herself as Cordelia, First General of the Deep Realm - watched her with ancient eyes that held both wisdom and cunning.

        "Your mother's choice started this war," Cordelia said, her voice carrying the rhythm of waves. "When she chose your father, she didn't just abandon her throne - she disrupted a balance that had existed for millennia. The Deep Realm has been without a true queen for twenty years, and the dark ones grow bolder each day."

        "The dark ones?" Aria asked, acutely aware of Nate's tension beside her, his grip tightening on the glowing trident.

        "The Abyssal Court," Nate answered grimly. "Think of them as your people's darker cousins. While the sirens of the Deep Realm protect the oceans, the Abyssal Court seeks to corrupt them. Without a queen's power to maintain the barriers..."

        "They're breaking free," Cordelia finished. "Even now, they gather in the deep trenches, preparing for war. Only a queen's song can reinforce the ancient seals."

        Aria felt the weight of their expectations pressing down on her like the ocean itself. "And you think I can do this? I don't even know how to control whatever... this is." She gestured to her still-glowing skin.

        "That's why I'm here," a new voice spoke from the doorway. Aria turned to see a woman she'd only known from photographs - her mother. Nerissa, former queen of the Deep Realm, stood in the threshold, looking exactly as she had twenty years ago. Her presence made the very air vibrate with power.

        "Mom?" Aria whispered, emotions warring inside her.

        Nerissa's eyes - the same otherworldly blue as Aria's now were - filled with tears. "My daughter. My beautiful, brave daughter. I'm so sorry I had to leave you, but it was the only way to keep you safe while your powers matured."

        "Safe from what?" Aria demanded, anger suddenly surging through her. The water around her feet began to churn in response.

        "From those who would use you," Nate interjected, his voice carrying an edge of bitterness. "The Guardians weren't always noble protectors, Aria. Some believed that controlling a hybrid princess would give them power over both realms."

        "Like your father did?" Nerissa's voice turned cold as she addressed Nate. "Is that why you're so close to my daughter? Following in Marcus Cross's footsteps?"

        The tension in the room sparked like electricity. Nate's silver eyes flashed dangerously. "I am not my father."

        "Enough!" Aria's voice carried a new power, making everyone in the room freeze. The water around her feet rose in spiraling columns, responding to her command. "I want the truth. All of it. No more cryptic warnings or half-answers."

        Suddenly, the facility's emergency sirens blared to life. On Nate's monitors, dark shapes appeared in the deeper waters - humanoid figures with shark-like features and glowing red eyes.

        "The Abyssal Court," Cordelia hissed. "They've found us."

        "They found her," Nerissa corrected, moving to Aria's side. "They can sense your awakening power, daughter. We're out of time."

        The facility shuddered as something massive struck it from below. Through the broken window, Aria could see dark forms rising from the depths, their movements predatory and purposeful. The water around her feet turned ice-cold.

        "You have to choose now," Nate said urgently. "But know this - whatever you decide, I'll stand with you." His eyes met hers, and in them she saw not just duty or ambition, but something deeper, something personal.

        "As touching as that is, Guardian," Cordelia interrupted, "she needs to come with us. Only in the Deep Realm can she learn to control her powers in time."

        Another impact rocked the facility. In the distance, Aria could hear screams - the research staff, she realized with horror. They were unprotected, unaware of what was really happening.

        "I won't let innocent people die," Aria declared, feeling strength flow through her. "Mom, Cordelia - help me protect the facility. Nate..." she turned to him, "teach me how to fight."

        "Always choosing both worlds," Nerissa murmured, a mix of pride and worry in her voice. "Just like your mother."

        As the Abyssal Court's forces surrounded the facility, Aria felt something click into place inside her. She was neither fully human nor fully siren, neither wholly of land nor of sea. But perhaps that's exactly what both worlds needed.

        "Well then," she said, as power coursed through her veins and the song of the sea filled her mind, "let's show these dark ones what a hybrid princess can do."

        The water around her erupted upward, turning into a swirling shield of liquid crystal, just as the first of the dark figures burst through the facility's lower levels. The war for two worlds was about to begin, and Aria stood at its center, with a Guardian at her side and the power of two realms flowing through her blood.

Chapter Four

The next few minutes dissolved into chaos. The Abyssal Court's warriors crashed through the facility's lower levels like a dark tide, their shark-like features twisted into snarls of hunger and hatred. Aria's crystalline water shield held against the first wave, but she could feel their darkness pressing against her power, trying to corrupt it.

        "Channel your emotions through the water," Nerissa instructed, her own powers creating whirlpools that trapped several attackers. "The sea responds to authentic feeling, not just will."

        Nate moved with inhuman grace, the trident in his hands leaving trails of electric blue energy as he fought. "We need to evacuate the research staff," he called out between strikes. "They're gathering near the main lab."

        Aria closed her eyes for a moment, and suddenly she could feel every drop of water in the facility - in the pipes, in the air, in human bodies. The awareness was overwhelming. "I can feel them," she gasped. "Everyone. Everything."

        "That's your queen's sense awakening," Cordelia explained, her own song turning violent as she fought. "You're connecting to your realm."

        An explosion rocked the lower level, and through her new awareness, Aria felt something massive entering the facility. The temperature of the water dropped dramatically, and even the sirens looked concerned.

        "Thalassos," Nerissa whispered, fear evident in her voice. "The Abyssal Prince himself."

        Through the broken floor emerged a figure that seemed made of living darkness. Unlike his warriors, Prince Thalassos appeared almost human, devastatingly beautiful in a cruel way. His eyes were the color of the deepest ocean trenches, and when he smiled, his teeth gleamed like black pearls.

        "The little princess awakens," his voice was like the crushing depths given sound. "How convenient. I was afraid I'd have to wait longer to claim my bride."

        "Bride?" Aria and Nate spoke simultaneously, his voice sharp with anger, hers with shock.

        "Did they not tell you?" Thalassos moved closer, his presence making the water around him turn black. "The only way to truly end the war between our courts is through union. Your mother refused me twenty years ago. But you..." his dark eyes roamed over her face, "you're even more powerful than she was."

        Nate stepped between them, the trident glowing brighter. "She's not a prize to be claimed, Thalassos."

        The Abyssal Prince's laugh was like ice cracking. "Ah, the Guardian speaks. Tell me, son of Marcus Cross, does your protection come from duty... or jealousy?"

        Before anyone could respond, a scream echoed from the main lab. Through her water sense, Aria felt the research staff's terror as more Abyssal warriors surrounded them.

        "Choose quickly, princess," Thalassos said smoothly. "Surrender to me, and I'll spare them all. Refuse, and watch your human friends feed my warriors."

        Aria felt rage build inside her - pure, hot, and powerful. The water around her began to glow, not with her mother's blue light or Thalassos's darkness, but with a brilliant purple that seemed to combine both aspects of her nature.

        "You want an answer?" Her voice carried the crash of waves and the strength of tidepools. "Here it is."

        She thrust her hands forward, and every drop of water in the facility responded. It rose from pipes, condensed from air, pulled from the sea itself. But instead of attacking, it began to sing - a new song, neither fully siren nor fully human, but something entirely unique.

        The Abyssal warriors closest to her began to writhe, their corrupted forms starting to purify under her hybrid power. Thalassos's eyes widened in genuine surprise, then narrowed in fury.

        "Impossible," he snarled. "No one can purify the Abyssal taint!"

        "She's not no one," Nate said, pride evident in his voice. "She's both of your worlds, and neither. And that makes her stronger than either."

        Aria's song grew stronger, and she felt Nate's energy joining with hers, the Guardian's power amplifying her own. Her mother and Cordelia added their voices, creating a harmony that made the very foundations of the facility vibrate.

        But Thalassos wasn't finished. With a roar of rage, he released his own power - a wave of such absolute darkness that it threatened to swallow all light. "If I cannot have you," he growled, "then no one will!"

        The two forces met in a spectacular clash of energy. In that moment, as purple light battled primordial darkness, Aria felt something else stirring in the depths beneath the facility - something ancient and powerful, awakened by their battle.

        "The Leviathan," Nerissa breathed. "The battle... it's waking the ancient ones."

        As if in response, a deep rumble shook the entire ocean floor, and everyone - siren, human, and Abyssal alike - froze in sudden, instinctive fear.

        In the brief silence, Aria heard Nate whisper, "Whatever happens next, Aria, know that I-"

        But his words were cut off as the floor beneath them cracked open, and the true power of the deep made its presence known. The war between courts had awakened something far older and more dangerous than any of them had imagined.

        And deep in her soul, Aria knew - this was only the beginning.

Chapter 1

River City.

Seven Days Hotel.

Jason Brooks rides his electric bike to deliver to Seven Days Hotel, which is known as the "Mecca of Dating". Today is his girlfriend Emily Chen's birthday, and after delivering the last delivery in the morning, Jason can go on a date with her.

"Emily?!" Seeing this scene in front of him, Jason couldn't believe it and ran over in excitement. Because last night, Emily mentioned to him that she was going to see a movie with her girlfriends, so she wouldn't come home at night. But Jason never thought that he would run into her at Seven Days Hotel.

Suddenly heard Jason's voice, Emily's face changed, instinctively wanted to break free, but was beside the boy tightly embraced.

"What are you afraid of?" The boy sneered, "Do you still want to get back together with this poor boy?"

"Emily, let's go back! I will give you happiness."

"Don't touch me!" Emily pushed Jason's hand away, "Why should I go back with you? Can you afford the cell phone I want, the bag I like? Even to see a movie, you have to wait until my birthday, how can you give me happiness?"

"Emily, I am poor now, but ...... but I will try!" Jason said through gritted teeth.

"Jason, wake up, Emily won't go back with you, do you want to go back to delivering food together?" Tyler sneered.

"Jason, I've been trying to tell you for a long time, you don't deserve me, let's break up!" Emily's tone was cold.

Immediately after, Emily turned her head to Tyler and smiled: "Tyler, let's go." After that, Emily took the initiative to hold Tyler's hand.

After saying that, Tyler pulled Emily, toward the BMW car outside the hotel. Looking at Emily's far away back, Jason's heart seized up. Anger, pain, unwillingness, but there is nothing to do ......

"Just because Tyler is rich, you can humiliate me like this?" Jason lowered his head, his hands clenched his fists, his fingernails sank into his palms, and blood flowed out.

Jason and Emily met in college, and during their first class reunion, they confirmed their relationship. At that time, Emily was still very innocent. But now she betrayed herself and chose to be with Tyler. jason didn't try to stay, nor did he chase after Emily, because he, a poor kid, was not qualified to compete with Tyler.

"Emily, today you humiliate me, tomorrow I'll make you unapproachable!" Jason's eyes were shining.

River City University, inside the cafeteria.

"Jason, get over it." Roommate Mark Johnson said, "I've told you before, Emily is not from the same world as us. She's pretty, she's got a great body, and she's a flirt, so she's not a serious woman."

"Besides, haven't you also been intimate with her? You don't lose out."

"It was a standard room with a double bed, nothing happened." Jason said.

"No shit! It's a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars!"

Jason thought about it, it does seem to be a bit of a loss. However, Jason really like Emily, also respect her, so never forced her to do anything. Just, ah ......

Just at this time, the cell phone drops a sound, showed a text message. "Your tail number 4466 account, the amount credited 1000000000.00 yuan, the balance 1000000056.00 yuan!"

Jason stared at the text message, his eyes were as big as bronze bells.

"I grass! Who put one billion dollars to my card?"

Chapter 2

"Tyler, I gotta go."

Seeing the huge transfer of money from Swann, Jason Brooks didn't even eat, and hurried out of the cafeteria.

Just then, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Is this Mr. Jason Brooks?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the line, low and strong, slow and steady.

"This is Jason," he replied, after a moment's freeze.

"There is an inheritance that I need to inherit, and I was wondering when you are available?" The middle-aged man's tone was very respectful.

"Ipnheritance? DDifd .).c...Y.g jusst KtIhaaCt( FhuHge& TsIumt GoxfN ImoÉneKyR,L wCasK I transqferir(ed Itaow hxi.m?"r

"Yes, that billion dollars is only a small part of the inheritance, most of the rest of the fixed assets and overseas funds need to go through procedures before they can be transferred to you."

"What? A whole billion dollars, but only a small part?" Jason was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Mr. Brooks, I'll have to explain that to you personally. If you have time in the afternoon, you can come to me on the thirty-eighth floor of Empire Tower, he will tell you the truth in person."

"Okay, Mr. Brooks!"

The other party politely hung up.

After leaving school, Jason went back to his rented house alone. Since he worked part-time as a delivery boy in the morning, he couldn't get off work until 1am at the earliest. The dormitory was already closed, so Jason had to share a small apartment with someone else.

"Gu Gu ......"

Suddenly, his stomach rumbled twice, and the need to go to the toilet came up, Jason hurriedly grabbed the roll of paper and ran into the toilet in a hurry.

He sat down on the toilet and started to play the game. Just as he was getting into the game, the door of the toilet was suddenly pushed open.

She stretches her legs to her waist and starts to undress, with the lace nightgown coming down a little bit, her sexy waist and attractive black straps can be seen.

Jason looked dumbfounded, and forgot to speak for a while!

Halfway through her undressing, she suddenly opened her eyes, looked in the mirror, and found Jason behind her in a state of shock, sobering her up in an instant.

"Bang!" The cosmetics hit Jason's body.

"Jason, you stinking rascal!" The pretty girl screamed, pushed open the toilet door, and staggered out.

Jason hurriedly lifted up his pants and chased after him.

He managed to get his breath back, and yelled into the next room, "Mina, I'm out of my mind!"

That beautiful woman was none other than his roommate Mina.

"Say that again?!" Mina's voice came from the room through gritted teeth, followed by her sexy figure appearing in the doorway.

"So what if I broke into the restroom, who am I to throw my makeup at?" Jason countered, feeling dissatisfied, who says girls can bully people at will?

Mina's eyes were cold and angry as she stared at Jason, approaching him step by step, as if she wanted to beat him up.

"You pervert! Hiding in the restroom to spy on me, I am not very reasonable?"

Mina huffed and puffed her way over to Jason, who was initially enraged, but suddenly froze.

She had just gotten emotional, but now that she thought about it, the toilet was so small, Jason really didn't have a place to hide.

Mina's face was slightly red, and she said to Jason, "Then why should I hide in the toilet?"

"Youh Khid ian) btOh'e ZtloiLljeét?I ,BWiPg sbisvte(r,q YivtI's *a)lglq b^e!c&ayusMe) Iz ósóudjdepnlYyy bMaérgiexdO ,ind!".

"I thought everyone was like me, hiding at home all day, not going to work or school."

"I'm too busy to argue with you!"

Jason shot back relentlessly.

Chapter 3

At this point, Jason Brooks is about to explode with rage.

He was on his way to the restroom when Mina Andrews burst in. Jason, an orphan, had rented an apartment to support himself and his girlfriend when he first came to River City for college. When he wasn't in class, he worked as a delivery boy to make ends meet.

When Jason first moved in, Mina was already living here. Although they have lived together for almost half a year, they hardly communicate with each other; Jason's day is filled with classes and deliveries, while Mina is always locked up in her room, seemingly unconcerned about what's going on in the outside world.

Who knew that Mina woke up so early today, but did not say anything, and did not hesitate to barge into the restroom! Being taunted by Jason, Mina blinked, and only reacted after a long time.

"Then ...... then why didn't you lock the door! Going to the toilet without locking the door, you think the toilet is your home ah!" Mina said angrily.

"You blind ah, toilet light is on, you do not see?" Mina is not willing to back down, and Jason is not a willing to give up. If it wasn't for the fact that Mina was a woman, he would have confronted her.

"Oh, you really think you're a big star?"

"You're just a big star. I wouldn't even look at you if you asked me to!" Jason smiled coldly and swept his eyes at the figure in front of Mina, full of disdain.

"You!" Mina's face turned red. Honestly speaking, Mina's figure wasn't big, but it definitely wasn't unattractive either.

"Jason, you pervert, come back here!" Mina was so angry that she picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Jason, but he ran as fast as he could and was out of the door in a flash.

The door of the room was hit by the pillow and shook violently.

"Damn, this girl is too tough." Jason could only sigh in his heart and walk downstairs in anger.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jason arrived downstairs at Empire Tower.

As the most upscale commercial office building in River City, Empire Tower has a total of 68 floors, and the rent for each floor is ridiculously high. At this time, the open parking lot was full of luxury cars, and all the staff in and out of the building were dressed in suits, which showed the atmosphere of successful people.

Only Jason stood at the door in his dirty take-out uniform, like a beggar.

"Euxcqusle móeU,R pylerasze ulsAeu the ófUirke^ eBsUc$apeg ndeIxt to theó _tJatkPeaAwcay.!"d The& pCrettry^ gfirl faDt, theG UfrToxnJtn deSskB Cs(aw PhBiLm chomeÉ inny,U nfbrofwnOiMn,g, h!er _fMascte Rfucllm oPfO gdisdain.

"I'm not here for delivery!" Jason replied indifferently.

"You don't deliver, then why are you here?" The front desk beauty asked back with dissatisfaction.

"I'm looking for someone." Jason said.

Jason didn't know the name of the person who summoned him, he only wanted to find out whether the inheritance was real or not. So he stopped paying attention to the receptionist, and walked directly towards the elevator.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? I just told you to take delivery to the fire escape, stop ......" The front desk beauty saw Jason to the elevator, hurriedly chased after him.

"Dingdong!" At this moment, the elevator door suddenly opened.

"Ah!" A yell came from the elevator.

Because he was in too much of a hurry, Jason didn't even notice that there was someone else in the elevator, and ended up bumping right into him.

"Do you have no eyes, can't you see that there are people inside?" A woman in the elevator shouted angrily.

Despite her anger, her pretty face was still sexy and charming. Just now she was holding a cup of coffee in her hand, and now Jason bumped into her, spilling the coffee on her chest.

"You take-out guy, is this a place for you? Where's the security guard, come and kick him out!" Seeing Jason wearing a takeaway uniform, the black silk beauty scolded in an extremely disgusted tone.

"Sorry, I was in too much of a hurry just now, didn't see anyone inside ......" Jason said, while pulling out paper towels from his pocket, wanting to help her dry off.

"Ah ...... colorful wolf ah!" The black silk beauty instinctively screamed.

Chapter 4

For a moment, a dozen security guards rushed straight over.

"Sorry, I ...... didn't mean it!"

Jason Brooks saw the security guards all rushed over, hurriedly pushed away Mina Andrews, rushed into the elevator, and then pressed the thirty-eighth floor.

"Are you alright, Mr. Turner?What just happened?" The head of security asked Mina, a little confused.

"Just now there was a delivery man, who came in from nowhere and harassed me, you guys hurry up and catch him out, I want to send this pervert to the police station!" Mina's eyes began to redden, a hint of anger in her eyes.

"But ......" the security chief was a little difficult.

"Butl LwhGat!" MWimndac CsWhou_tCedj wit$h a ufrPoJwVn,.

"This kid went to the thirty-eighth floor, Mr. Wu said that without his permission, no one can go to the thirty-eighth floor ...... " the security chief said helplessly.

Mina heard this, froze for a moment, and then gritted her teeth, said hatefully, "Then wait here, block all the exits of the building, I don't believe that this colorful wolf can still not come down today!"

On the other side, after entering the elevator, Jason helplessly looked at his right hand.

However, Jason was not in the mood to care about that much, he only wanted to find out as soon as possible, this money in the end how it is!

A minute later, the elevator arrived at the thirty-eighth floor.

Jason stepped out of the elevator, and found that the entire 38th floor was an office. The decoration inside was extremely luxurious, and the location happened to be able to overlook the entire River City, quite a feeling of having a panoramic view of the mountains.

After seeing Jason come in, he hurriedly got up, walked to Jason, and said respectfully, "Mr. Brooks, you are here!"

"You're the one who just called me?" Jason asked with a frown.

"Yes, let me introduce myself, my name is Howard Wright, I'm the Chief Mr. of Empire Group!" Howard said with a smile.

"OhÉh'hm!"* ,Jajson yn'oaddeQdl, lwh*iZlTeC suprveyiZng th(e oDfUfiVcfeL, he Vais&keédV,v "GYoéuv Njuslt WciaJlZlfed fmDe, saKyingg tXhwa$t I haRveb $aHn( NixnDhheritance,N wuhsatV's qgobinzg on 'hGere?"a

"Mr. Brooks, it's like this, do you remember your grandfather having a cousin?" Howard asked softly.

"Grandpa's cousin?" Jason instinctively froze for a moment, suddenly remembering that he did meet his grandfather's cousin when he was a child. But when he was in elementary school, his family said that he had passed away.

"Your grandfather's cousin is the chairman of Empire Group." Howard slowly said, "At the beginning of the group's founding, Chairman Li emigrated abroad and lived a solitary life. He had no children in his life, and also had no relatives, so all of his assets will be inherited by you alone!"

"AIK ualolnde wirll ixnhQeritA?K" ÉJasong .h!eÉarJdO thiLs Wan.d frboze, pnoyt ÉraesalZipzing thba't VtdhisS kpin,dS dofj Bth*inMg tihaStw ckou&ld ojnlyw Mbew Ésezen ,i^nq $TZV FdhramUajsW rwoudlld qhYap'pze'nP tfoT dhiGmR.

"That's right, I'll give you a brief explanation of the inheritance left behind by Chairman Li, he has a billion dollars in savings in China, I've already transferred it to you in advance."

"But this is only a small part of it, because Chairman Li has been living abroad for a long time, so his legacy also includes the Tremont Group in Europe, the Vantone Group in the United States, as well as a number of oil companies in Africa ...... " said Howard from the Howard took out a document from the drawer, and started to introduce to Jason the inheritance he was going to inherit.

At the beginning, Jason was still listening carefully to the content of Howard's introduction. But when he heard the latter, he felt like dreaming, and could not help interrupting Howard, reconfirming: "What, Mr. Wright, you don't need to introduce, are you sure that all these are mine alone?"

"wSuOreq!N"z KHjoLwBardV nioTdRded sainYcLe.r!ely.T

"So all these assets together, roughly how much would they be worth?" Jason continued to ask.

"This well ......" Howard froze for a moment, and said softly, "Mr. Brooks, a conservative estimate of these funds should add up to ten trillion dollars!"

"Ten ...... trillion dollars? And that's in dollars?" Jason heard Howard's words, stared round eyes, his voice trembled.

"éYNes!"A

"That's impossible!" Jason shook his head, and then said, "You must be lying to me, it's true that my grandfather has a cousin, but if he's really that rich, why don't I know about it? A whole ten trillion dollars, he should be on the list of rich people!"

"You are talking about the Forbes rich list, right?" Howard asked with a smile.

"That's right, that list. If he's really that rich, he should have been on the list already, right?" Jason asked suspiciously.

"Mrg.W ^BriookHs, lget me .putH Dit) tyo *yVou t.hi*sZ waéy, t_heC peotpPl.e. yroun capnC seeM onD Nth*en rHiclhL ,lXiOstt YarRe not nrenall)ys VrNich."&

"Those who are on the list are just trying to increase their fame, in order to obtain better social resources, while Chairman Li has long passed that stage, he has been living abroad for a long time, just because he doesn't want to expose his identity!"

Jason looked at Howard and felt that he wasn't lying. Even if he was a liar, he wouldn't lie to a poor man like himself.

"Okay, then I want to inherit this inheritance, are there any requirements?" Jason calmed down his excitement and continued to ask.

Chapter 5

Howard Wright pulls open a drawer, locates a document, and hands it to Jason Brooks. "Mr. Brooks, regarding the will that Chairman Lee left to you while he was hospitalized, I need you to sign it so that that inheritance will be yours."

"There is one more thing, Mr. Brooks, that you need to be aware of." Howard Wright paused.

"What is it?" Jason asked curiously.

"yChairbmVan L(i 'gxavce ^sIpeCc'ial HinqsItrFugctioónsd bseófdorfeT ,hje pdigerd,p i$f yTou lwant( xtoV inhUerfit tDhdat iJnhueqrkijtanmcDe, yovuI ha(vseV &to imya*rrhyó vMsB.

"Marry Emily, who is she?" Jason froze, he didn't realize that there was such a requirement for inheritance. "Isn't this a disguised way of making someone buy a wife with money?"

"Under the terms of the will, I can't disclose any information about Ms. Emily." Howard Wright responded calmly.

"That Emily, isn't a fat, ugly old lady, is she?" Jason asked with a frown.

"MXrP.

"That's a bit reasonable ...... " Jason touched his nose, and finally nodded his head, "Okay, then I promise."

"If you don't have any problems, you can sign it now, and the will will take effect immediately!" Howard Wright pushed the will in front of Jason.

Jason had no reason to refuse the huge inheritance. Even if he was asked to marry a sow, he would have said yes, not to mention marrying an ugly woman. After all, Jason had suffered from poverty before.

Jason scrutinized the black and gold card, and smiled at Howard Wright: "Do you confirm that this card can be used to spend as much as you like, with no limit?"

"Of course, all purchases will go to your company's bill, and your company's market capitalization is over ten trillion dollars, so there is no problem for you to spend as much as you want!" Howard Wright added gently.

"This card is Mr. Parker's business card, he will be responsible for helping you manage the company, if you encounter any trouble, you can call him at any time!" Howard Wright respectfully handed Jason a business card.

"Uh-huh." Jason accepted the card and continued, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Five minutes later, Jason stepped out of the elevator.

"Boom!"

A dozen of security guards directly surrounded Jason. When he saw those security guards, he was dumbfounded and felt at a loss.

"You take-out guy, how dare you take advantage of Mr. Turner, you're so impatient!" She said cynically.

"Also do not look at yourself, really shameless ...... " The beauty at the front desk also followed the coaxing.

"What happened before was really bad, but he already apologized, what can I do?" Jason frowned, said to the black silk beauty.

"If you want to die, go ahead, no one's stopping you, so get out of my way, I'm going out!" Jason was enraged by her attack, and his tone was unkind.

"You want out? If you don't apologize tomorrow, you're not getting out of here!" The black silk beauty said coldly, pointing at Jason.

"How do I want to apologize?" Jason stared at the black silk beauty, his tone cold.

At this moment, Jason was surrounded by no way to retreat, feeling tired and helpless. He didn't expect the woman in front of him to be so over the top, just by bumping into him, she even asked him to kneel down and kowtow?

"What are you waiting for? Quickly kneel down!" The security chief said commandingly.
