Chapter 362 - Alex's Acceptance

It wasn't reported in the news but recently, the Han Corporation was indeed became really chaotic. The power struggle between the two brothers were too fierce that it circulated in the entire business industry. 

Even some core members were put behind jail while others disappeared without any trace. It wasn't that hard to guess what happened to those people as the business world was a complicated world.

Overall, that's what led David Ong to this early meeting. He had heard and concluded of what Alexander Han's did. No doubt about it, he was someone like that as well, hence, he could smell the foreboding dangers surrounding Alexander Han the moment he spoke his last remarks.

"CEO Han, how about you join our little party three days from now -- I can guarantee you, you'll be pleased." David Ong slid a small invitation card for the small event he would host and from there, he'd select a few people who could join the grand 'game of life' after two weeks.

This event would also proved the candidates qualification to fill up the empty seats that were solely for new big players they could riled in with this ridiculous game.

Alexander Han glanced downed before he smiled and peered at David Ong's pair of monolid eyes. "Well, if Director Ong guaranteed it, I'll look forward to it." Alexander Han then reached for the small invitation before he slid it to him, then, kept it inside his pocket suit.

After that sketchy discussion, their conversation returned back to normal as if they were friends that was catching up after a long time.

After an hour or two, David Ong and Alexander Han finally finished their meal. Wiping his mouth like an aristocrat man, Alexander Han heard David Ong's last confirmation.

"So, CEO Han, I'll see you in three days?" 

"In three days." Alex smiled courtly as he deliberately showed a slightly obvious anticipation on his expression. Thanks to the years of acting, he seemed natural while playing this role of a wicked businessman with an odd fetish -- just like what David Ong thought.

Alexander Han slowly stood from his seat followed by David Ong. They still conversed as they exited the fancy restaurant they were in.

When Alexander Han excused himself and rode on the back seat of his luxury car, a sly smirk formed on the side of his lips.

Thomas Yang who was on the driver's seat glanced at the rear mirror and saw the victorious smirk from his young master. For some reason, he involuntarily shudder as he felt a wicked aura emanating within Alexander Han.

Despite knowing who his master was hanging out recently, he could tell that Alexander Han had another huge leap of maturity. If he find him cold with the first change of Alexander Han, now is rather different. 

Alexander Han seemed more natural and fearless. He got a clear insight of what he wants and plans -- not just a vague revenge scheme. After taking over and gaining full control of the Han Corporation, Alexander Han wasn't doing underhanded means just like before. Instead, his threatening technique this time for other shareholders to give him support was like a veteran.

Does his frequent meeting with Wren Tanaka was good? After all, Alexander Han would often secretly meet up with Wren that seemed to be sketchy. Yet, Wren Tanaka was busy leading his own company while Alexander Han was preoccupied settling some unfinished business he had to finish.

Thus, Thomas Yang was rather puzzled by this unobvious change of Alexander Han. His initial plan of sabotaging his own company seemed to be put on a halt as Alex do his best to reformat the whole company.

Alas, that isn't something that Thomas Yang wanted to concern himself anymore. As long as his employer was well, he's satisfied with it. After all, even if the whole Han Corporation would crumbled down, Alexander Han would still hire him to start his own legacy.

"To the office." Alexander Han nonchalantly uttered which Thomas Yang abide without a second thought.

'As long as he'll avoid more dangerous stunt, I wouldn't worry to much… I guess' Thomas Yang mumbled inwardly. Alas, little did he know that Alexander Han was in a more dangerous situation than being an average cunning businessman. It just that Alexander Han had gone through hell of a training and felt the real meaning of pain hence, those mundane emotions doesn't threatened him anymore. He was partially numb emotionally and fully paralyzed physically.

'At least this way, I could still be useful to her.' After the momentary silence, a thought flashed across Alexander Han. He doesn't know why but after seeing Dragon who could stand at the same ground with Seraphina pushed him to the line of acceptance.

He accepted the fact that his feelings towards Seraphina was doomed to be unrequited. He would lie if he tell that he wasn't envious. However, what can he do? He was still considered a child in the unending schemes in the underground world. 

Moreover, Dragon did trampled the silver lining that his sincerest inkling for Seraphina. He was on another level that could be a great help unlike him, who could only do this much for her.

Nonetheless, Alexander Han might have lost his chance to get the girl he liked but at least, he gained a family. Despite of them being crazy with tons of harsh banter, he knew deep inside his heart that they got his back no matter what.

'They should've accomplished their first task. I must certainly need that pass for that so-called game of life.' As the thought hovered on his mind, a complete resolve also filled his c_h_e_s_tnut brown eyes.
