Chapter 40 - Hello

Hello, my incredible readers,

First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to every single one of you who has joined Kenji and Xiao Yue on this journey. Your comments, your reviews, and your passion for this story are the fuel that keeps this CEO's engine running at peak efficiency.

For those of you caught up to the latest public chapter, you've seen the sparks of a revolution. You've witnessed the fragile beginnings of Project Phoenix. But I have to tell you, what's coming next isn't just a spark—it's an inferno. The strategies are bolder, the stakes are higher, and the moments between our CEO and his COO are about to become… complicated.

For those who can't bear the wait and want to dive headfirst into the corporate warfare and simmering emotions, I've prepared a little... market preview.

Soon, you will witness…

A Declaration of Unprecedented Power. The games are over. The time for hiding in the shadows is done. Xiao Yue is about to make a move so bold, so audacious, that the entire clan will be forced to see her not as a forgotten daughter, but as a queen reclaiming her throne.

"Tomorrow at dawn, I will embark on a mission of strategic importance for the clan's future... I need the best. Those who don't ask unnecessary questions and whose loyalty is to the cloud on our banner, not to the storms brewing in the halls. I need the Shadow Wolves. Your eight best men."

A Threat Re-evaluated. The brothers thought they understood the "problem" of Xiao Yue. They are about to realize their analysis was catastrophically flawed. They aren't facing their sister anymore. They are facing a force they cannot comprehend.

"It wasn't a talisman. It wasn't luck. It was worse... We're not facing our sister, Jin. We're facing a monster wearing her face."

An Alliance Forged in Fire. The partnership between Kenji and Xiao Yue is evolving beyond a simple business venture. As they face new threats, their bond will be tested, forcing them to make choices that transcend logic and strategy, redefining the very foundation of their alliance.

"If, to achieve my dream of building the world's greatest company, I had to leave you, or abandon our relationship… I would abandon the dream without a second thought. Because there are assets that can't be bought, Xiao Yue. And to me, you are worth more than all the empires in this world."
