Chapter 630
According to our intel, the arrival seems to be Jude Vance, the presumed heir of the Vance Dynasty. He’s looking to expand his presence domestically.
The moment he arrived, he began meeting with Aethelgard’s four major syndicates, including the Lance Family. Word is he had a very pleasant meeting with Lawrence.
So, we need to stay vigilant p>
“Are you saying someone else is trying to take a piece of the Aethelgard pie p>
“You could say that p>
“As long as they don’t mess with our assets, let them be.
We’ll stick to the plan. Once Orientation Foundations is over, we’ll start expanding into new industries p>
“What new industries p>
Dominic asked.
“I haven’t mapped it all out yet. You’ll see when the time comes p>
“Look at you, keeping secrets from your mentor. Don’t come crying to me when you need a favor p>
“Dominic, I feel like you’ve changed. Both of you have p>
Mira looked between them.
“You two are becoming incredibly demanding. You were never like this before p>
“Back then, you were underage. As the older guys, we were just looking out for you.
Now that you’re in college, we should treat each other as equals p>
Owen pointed out, glancing at Mira.
“Equals, huh? Does that mean I don’t have to call you by your titles anymore? I can just use your first names p>
“I dare you to try p>
Owen’s gaze turned predatory.
Dominic frowned at her too.
When it came to a physical fight, she definitely couldn’t beat them, so she decided to back down.
“Oh come on, you’re the ones who wanted to be equals! Are you backing out now?” Owen just glared at her in silence. Brat. Is this how she interprets being equals?
Dominic smirked.
After they left, Mira got ready for bed. Tomorrow meant another early morning for Orientation Foundations.
Just as she lay down, Mr. Whitlock called.
“Roxanne Porter has been dealt with p>
“Thank you, Mr. Whitlock. Your two percent equity in the gaming company is ready and waiting p>
“I know Miss Mercer always keeps her word. But that Roxanne really was a piece of work.
It’s a good thing we took care of her early; who knows what kind of damage she could have done later?
According to the handlers over there,
she had already climbed the ranks to team leader before we moved on her Strong tech skills, great
het
performance if she kept growing,” she would’ve become a serious threat to you again p>
“I appreciate it, Hank p>
After enduring so much misery, if Roxanne had managed to escape, she would have come back as a vengeful nightmare causing endless complications.
Someone like that needed to be eliminated swiftly, leaving no room for a comeback.
“What about Mara Mercer p>
“She’s not a threat. Let her rot over there p>
Before Mira could even put her phone down, Celine Ward called.
“Mira, are you exhausted? I am dead on my feet. I’m telling you, I’m lying in bed and every single bone in my body aches
Celine’s complaining reminded Mira of her own early days of martial arts training.
“Celine, that’s just how it feels when you first start working out. I felt the exact same way when I began my training.
But as your body adapts, it gets easier.
Look at me now—I don’t feel tired at all. Just stick with it, and your fitness will skyrocket.
Once orientation is over, you should sign up for a martial arts class and keep going.
You can do this. Pushing through the pain is a victory in itself p>
“Mira, please stop. How can I even compare to you?
I’ll be thrilled if I just survive this orientation without crying for my mom. A martial arts class? Are you crazy p>
