Chapter 657


    Maja didn’t fancy spilling the beans about her rtionship withn, so she just sucked it up.


    “Mr Raymond said he’s lost interest in me. I can’t keep him around, so I gotta find a new path, she


    admitted, showing she was well aware that she was getting on


    his nerves.


    Beck’s eyebrows furrowed, puzzled by the statement. Upon hearing these words, he felt


    ufortable.


    Though he himself was a bit of a yer, he subconsciously believed that Maja shouldn’t be the kind of


    person to be messed around with.


    On the contrary, it was more likely she would be the one ying around with others.


    “You shouldn’t worry about it. There are plenty of fish in the sea besidesn,” he said.


    However, his family had once warned him not to cross paths withn.


    “Whenn was in North America, he was burning the midnight oil studying data on Wall Street. Wall

    Street was the turf of the big shots, and his sudden appearance as a young guy stirred the pot. They


    say they tossedn into an underground fight club,” he shared.


    Maja felt a pang in her heart. She had never seen this so–called underground fight club, but if it was a


    ything for the rich, it must be brutal.


    She looked at Beck, waiting for him to continue. But he paused, then turned to look at her.


    “Mr. Sanders, what happened next? How did he get out?”


    Beck chuckled, tapping his finger on the window frame.


    “You know guns are legal in North America, right? So, the real big shots are those rich folks.n


    quickly umted wealth there. Now, the whole underground fight club is his turf. They say he got it


    through some do–or–die betting.”


    Maja’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. She couldn’t believe it.


    She knew there was a dark side ton, but she didn’t expect it to go this far.


    Beck spoke lightly, his eyes always carrying a hint of a smile as he looked at people.


    “The underground fight club brings in a staggering ie daily. Later,n returned to Wall Street and


    used that money for a huge acquisition. Because of this, many people decided to jump off the roof.”


    The truly powerful people didn’t break thew, but they used the loopholes in thew to their


    advantage.


    Just like hown once told her in Crystalbrook Valley, sometimes information asymmetry was a


    resource.


    Beck supported his head with one hand, a hint of a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.


    “So, it’s probably for the best that you two broke up peacefully.n doesn’t seem like the type who’d fall


    for someone.”


    Maja didn’t say anything more. She had learned enough aboutn recently.


    The more she knew about him, the deeper she realized the darkness behindn was.


    The car stopped at the front of a five-story mansion. The iron gate slowly opened and someone came


    to greet them.


    Maja was not the center of attention today, so she followed behind Beck.


    The person who came to greet them was very polite to Beck, after all, the Sanders family was a top–


    tier power in North America.


    Upon entering the hall, Maja immediately spotted a man in his fifties in the center, and sitting next to


    him wasn.


    He sat closest to the chandelier, the cold white light making him appear pale and thin.


    Perhaps because the room was too brightly lit, whenn looked at people, it always seemed like there


    were specks of light scattering around like golden threads.


    Clearly,n and Beck had the same intention.


    Nn was chatting happily withn.


    Whenn turned his head expressionlessly, he saw a man and woman who had just entered.


    For some reason, he found the scene a bit dazzling.


    Nn immediately stood up and went to meet them.


    “Mr. Sanders, I’ve heard so much about you.”


    “Mr. Nn, long time no see.”


    Nn’s gaze shifted to Maja, “And who might this be?”


    “This is a friend of mine from Greenfield.”


    “Alright,e on in. I’ll have someone pour you some coffee.”


    Maja had heard that Nn’s course at the Skyrim Film Academy was very popr. Students were


    scrambling to take his ss. If a script was selected by him, he would also help students connect with


    investors. Therefore, Nn had a good reputation.


    Maja’s seat was right next ton, making her feel a bit ufortable.


    Butn did not respond.


    Maja didn’t feel awkward. After all, this wasn’t the first time he’d done this.


    Still, she cursed him in her mind as an annoying man.


    After venting in her mind, Maja focused on the conversation between Beck and Nn.


    Beck, the heir to thergest filmpany in North America, and Nn, a maestro in the domestic


    script industry, their conversation could potentially set the trend for the future
