Romance Of Flame And Ice Chapter 353

"If you don't want them here you can have them removed," Jia Yu said, she wasn't expecting her brother to have invited the Chen family but she knows once Yu Yan says the word they will be sent out immediately.
"There is no need, I have nothing to gain from sending them out but why is Li Wei with them yet Chen Kai is away from them?" not that she didn't notice him when she entered but she purposefully ignored him.
"He is the illegitimate son of the Chen family," Jia Yu answered and sighed.
Yu Yan turned to An Ke with a quizzical look on her face.
"I didn't know until now," she said in her defence but Li Wei suddenly looked in her direction causing their eyes to meet.
She quickly looked away.
Chen Kai kept darting his gaze from Yu Yan to Han Chen, he couldn't understand why so many notable people were crowding him yet Jia Yu isn't there.
The media also gave so much attention though he is just a neice to the Jia couple.
"The CEO should be here by now,", the main reason why he is here is to meet with him especially now that his father might be giving his brother his position in the company.
Clink!
Clink!
Clink!
Their attention was drawn to the pulpit by the managing director who raised a toast to them.
"Today is the Golden anniversary of Han Corporation and we are pleased to announce that our CEO has graced us with his presence along with his fiancé," he announced, everyone started clapping their hands while they waited for both to go up the pulpit.
Chen Kai's eyes went round when Han Chen walked towards Yu Yan and linked arms with her as they walked towards the pulpit.
{No way...}
The applauding became louder once Han Chen and Yu Yan stood on the pulpit beside each other.
He waited for them to stop clapping before he starts speaking.
"I am sure most people here are familiar with my parents more than they are with me, they worked very hard to build up this company but due to personal reasons and my inexperience, I left the company in the hands of my Aunt who has helped the company grow," he pointed at his aunt who is smiling at him with pride written all over her face, the guest turned to her to applaud her then the applause ended when he clinked his glass.

"So today I would like to announce that I will be formally taking over the company and also use this opportunity to introduce my fiance', Huo Yu Yan," he turned to her with brightness on his face, even the guest could see that he is more like a man in love rather than the CEO of Han Corporation at the moment.
Another round of applause went off.
She held his hand tightly in nervousness, standing in front of all the guests and the cameras flashing at her endlessly.
He already told her she doesn't have to go up with him if she can't handle the attention but she insisted on it.
"That being said, I will also like to announce that I and my cousin, Jia Yu, will be getting married in two weeks to our loved ones,"
The hall became noisy, they have never seen Yu Yan before in any gathering or media so they couldn't tell what family the lady who is lucky to be getting married to him is from though all that matters is that they get close to her.
He held the stem of the flute tightly in shock, he couldn't believe everything is being ruined right in front of him, his woman and even his pride.
Even if he has to bow to him, he was already determined to seek help to completely resurrect the company or his father will fulfil his threat of removing him from the family register and taking all he has from him once the company falls.
But if he has to bow to Han Chen...never.
"Also, let me take this opportunity to announce that I am now the biggest shareholder of Chen Corporation with 53% of the company's shares so from now on, I will be taking over Chen Corporation," he declared.
Gasps filled the entire place.
This is no anniversary but a shock party.
Everyone turned to the Chen family but except for Li Wei, they all have a stupefied expression. Chen Kai dropped the flute in his hand causing it to shatter.
He narrowed his eyes at Han Chen when he saw him and Yu Yan smirk at him then he understood, this is the plan they colluded together for and Xiaomeng played the biggest role in this.
"Han Chen, you bast**d!" he yelled, disregarding the many eyes around them.
His father glared daggers at him but he couldn't care less, once the company is lost then his life will be destroyed.

He stormed towards the pulpit but he was quickly held back and restrained by the security present at the event, he screamed in anger as they dragged him out of the party while the couple smiled at him smugly until he was out of sight.
"I propose a toast to you all, thanks for your support all these years," the wine was brought to them on the pulpit, he and Yu Yan took a glass each then raised it to the audience.
Meanwhile, the security guards dragged him down the stairs then threw him to the ground, he clenched his jaw and fist tightly after they left him before he started punching the ground angrily and yelling.
"That-" he was just about to curse again when he saw white heels in front of him, he slowly raised his gaze but was surprised to see Xiaomeng standing before him with a smirk on her face.
He immediately stood on his feet, he straightened his jacket and inserted his hands in his pocket.
"How did you like my gift?" she asked, crossing her arms on her chest with her bag in her hand, just like the day he found out he lost the video, she has the same look on her face just that it screams KO this time.
"You planned this?"
She clicked her teeth and nodded her head.
"Wrong, all I did was furnish it a little cos I figured you might be disappointed if it is not up to your standard," she responded.
She is wearing a sleeveless white knee-length halter neck dress with lace ruffles as the way down and a slit from her thigh, on her ears are round white earrings and a silver bracelet on her wrist.
"What makes you think I won't kill you right this instant?" his eyes darkened, filled with murderous intent.
Yet instead of taking him seriously, she broke into a peal of laughter with her hands on her belly.
"Don't humour me, losing the company means degrading you to a lowly commoner with no license or family behind him and if you do murder me, I guess that means jail for you," she spread her arms, telling him to go on with killing her if he desires.
He gritted his teeth in anger.
She stepped forward then placed her hands on his shoulder, he suddenly felt a sting on his foot so he looked down only to see her digging her heels into his feet, he groaned it pain then raised his gaze to meet hers.
She leaned towards his ear, slowly wrapping her hands around his neck.
"You don't deserve me and you never did,"
She pulled away then stomped his foot before leaving.
He held his knee as he screamed in pain and helplessness, he would never have imagined that Xioameng would be the one to ruin him at last neither does he need anyone to tell him that she made her father buy the shares in Han Chen's name but he was so careless to overlook.
Added with the shares she sold to him and the subsidiary he took over and perhaps the minor shares of some shareholders who suddenly left the board, he has total control now.
Now he knows better than to wait till his father gets home before he packs his belonging and leaves to a faraway place his father will never be able to find him, knowing his cards will be frozen he stole some cash instead then ran away.
After the announcement, Yu Yan returned with Han Chen to their friends who were flabbergasted at the announcements.
"Brother...what," she was speechless.
"The both of you planned this?" Meng Yao asked.
"To be exact, the four of us," Yu Yan answered, turning to Li Chen who looked away from them.
"Li Chen and Xiaomeng were with us,"
The three of them glared at Li Chen who could feel the lasers being shot from their eyes, he could only leave their midst before they attack him.
"Did you just say Xiaomeng?" An Ke asked, realising Yu Yan just mentioned Xiaomeng.
"Yes, I can't tell you guys much but you all should know she is actually better than we thought she is,"
The three of them exchanged glanced at each other in confusion as to why Xiaomeng would go to such lengths to hurt Chen Kai, someone she has been obsessed with even if she called off her marriage to him.

Everyone is a Superhero! Apart from me
Welcome to Loktharma, where everybody is a superhero from birth. That makes Eugene De Lavet the most special of them all. At eighteen years old, he still has no clue what his superpower is. Loktharma has never been a fair world. There are Worldbreakers who were born to brandish the power of the universe, warp time-space, destroy lands and continents. There are Craftmasters who control the elements and terrorize countries with their might and wits. There are Commoners who are only gifted with power for the finer arts, architecture, military arts, or small-scale elemental manipulation. Even in an unjust world like Loktharma, there is always one constant: everyone is assigned a Flair since birth; the power to do something extraordinary. And then there's Eugene. He's been running around in a secluded forest since birth, training and sparring his ass off. While he can wield a blade better than most at his age, he certainly can't throw a giant boulder using the power of his mind, or turn his skin into diamonds. He has no Flair, no purpose for leveling up his stats, and no idea why General Rizeni Baggardo keeps him confined inside a forest for eighteen years. At least until Lord Pyro—the Craftmaster of Tailiah—unleashes his fury on the forest, searching for a treasure Eugene doesn't even know exists. On a frantic escape for his life, Eugene starts to realize he was a part of something he's been completely oblivious to until now. Along with his companions, Melodi and Azra, he travels the land and unveils the secrets of the world. [The story will be told primarily through the lenses of three main characters, with occasional side character POV chapters. It also draws inspiration from Japanese shounen. So only proceed if you're cool with these aspects.]
