Chapter 1054 The Intruders
After Aspen hung up the phone, the smile on his face just wouldn''t fade away.
In his original prediction, Donald could only stretch to two billion at most. Unexpectedly, he ended
up investing four billion, doubling his initial estimate.
He''s an unyielding, wealthy man.
Dressed in a white gown, Heather expressed her dissatisfaction to Aspen, “What on earth
happened tonight? You were supposed to host the gathering this evening, and most people came
for you, yet you didn''t show up at all. Do you realize that several bigwigs are now angry?”
Aspen patted his thigh, signaling Heather toe and sit. He lifted his head, looking at her with a
face full of pride.
Although Heather was still in a huff, she reluctantly went over and sat down.
Aspen ced his hand on Heather''s waist, his face beaming with a smile. “Tonight, I met a big
client. The moment we met, my ount increased by two hundred million. Tomorrow, I n to invite
him to the Deep Sea Dreams Gathering. He said he will prepare four billion in his ount by then.”
“That much?”
Upon hearing the figure of four billion, Heather was also taken aback.
The wealthy individuals they invited from Pollerton were numerous, yet there were only a handful
who could readily produce four billion. Even on a national scale, such people were few and far
between.
This was four billion in cash, not stocks or real estate!
No wonder Aspen was willing to cancel his ns with others that night just to spend time alone with
Donald.
Donald was indeed a big catch.
“If he really does produce that much by tomorrow, wouldn''t that mean we could surpass our task?”
“It''s not just about surpassing our task. If all goes well, I can even climb up another rung on the
careerdder. When that timees, I won''t have to be in charge of this small ce called
Pollerton anymore, and you can also rise to greater heights with me.”
Excitement filled Aspen''s eyes.
Nothing was more thrilling than power.
Back when Aspen served Sole Wolf, he was merely a junior intelligence agent.
Due to the growth limitations of Sole Wolf, Aspen was merely an insignificant small fry in Pollerton.
Ever since Bjorn became the Wolf King of Sole Wolf, the development of the organization had been
as fast as a rocket.
As the organization grew stronger, the capable Aspen naturally thrived more and more.
Everyone knew that Sole Wolf was currently in a crucial period of advancement. If anyone could
climb higher within the organization at this time, the benefits they could reap in the future were sure
to be even more substantial.

So, in Aspen''s eyes, Donald was now a stepping stone for him, and he was determined to keep
Donald firmly in his grasp, no matter what.
Just as Aspen thought about that, the windows of the private club were suddenly shattered from the
outside.
Four men, dressed in ck special operations uniforms, burst through the window with submachine
guns.
Aspen was sitting at the highest point, frowning as he watched the people below.
“Are you Aspen?”
“I am. So what?”
“Come with us. We have a few things we''d like to ask you.”
The man leading the group, gun in hand, advanced toward Aspen, reaching out to grab him.
In his view, neither Aspen nor Heather posed any threat to him.
If anyone dared to resist, he was going to personally throw a couple of punches to set them straight.
However, just as the man''s hand was about to touch Aspen, a gust of wind suddenly swept past
him.
The man didn''t even have time to react, watching in disbelief as his arm was severed by something
sharp and sent flying.
“What the h*ll is that! Turn on the tactical lights!”
Previously, these four individuals had switched off the circuit breaker of this private club for a
surprise attack.
Now ambushed by something incredibly fast, the four of them could only hastily turn on the tactical
lights on their machine guns, trying to discern what exactly was lurking in the darkness.
