Chapter 32: The Rise of the Sovereign Empire — Zhao Feng's Next Move

The private jet cruised effortlessly through the skies, slicing through clouds like a silver arrow. Inside the luxurious cabin, Zhao Feng lounged in a sleek leather chair, the glow of the setting sun casting golden hues across the mahogany-paneled walls.

Xiao Ling, seated opposite him, scanned through the latest reports on her tablet. The aftermath of the Eternal Zenith unveiling had set the luxury world ablaze. From Forbes to Vogue, Zhao Feng's name dominated every headline.

But for Zhao Feng, the past was already behind him.

"The Eclipse Collection was just the beginning," he said, his voice calm but resolute. "We've established dominance in the luxury sector. Now, we expand."

Xiao Ling nodded. "The Sovereign name is already synonymous with prestige. But what's your next move, Boss?"

Zhao Feng's eyes gleamed. "We create a legacy — one that spans industries. Fashion, hospitality, entertainment, and beyond. Not just a brand. A global empire."

Zhao Feng's vision was clear. The Sovereign Empire would stand upon four powerful pillars:

Sovereign Fashion — A luxury fashion house rivaling the likes of Chanel and Louis Vuitton. Every piece would embody elegance and status, using the world's rarest fabrics and jewels.

Sovereign Resorts — Lavish destinations across the globe, offering unparalleled luxury experiences. From private villas in the Maldives to alpine retreats in Switzerland.

Sovereign Entertainment — A media powerhouse, producing high-end films, series, and live events. With Zhao Feng's wealth and influence, even Hollywood would bow.

Sovereign Capital — A financial arm to control strategic investments, acquiring stakes in emerging tech, sustainable energy, and AI innovations.

"We'll dominate every aspect of luxury living," Zhao Feng declared. "When the world thinks of prestige, they'll think of Sovereign."

To accelerate his plan, Zhao Feng targeted acquisitions that would give Sovereign an edge.

Fashion: Zhao Feng's first move was to buy out the struggling Maison Bellefleur, a century-old French fashion house known for its haute couture. With Sovereign's resources and creative vision, it would rise to its former glory.

Resorts: Next, Zhao Feng negotiated the purchase of the Celeste Azure Group, a chain of private island resorts frequented by royalty and billionaires. It would become the crown jewel of Sovereign Resorts.

Entertainment: Through bold investments, Sovereign Capital acquired a majority stake in Stellar Studios, one of Hollywood's most prestigious film companies. Every blockbuster now bore the Sovereign mark.

Finance: Zhao Feng also formed strategic partnerships with major banks, establishing Sovereign Capital as a force in the global financial world.

Two months later, the world watched as the Sovereign Empire unveiled itself. The Sovereign Gala, held at the newly renovated Château Bellefleur, drew the most powerful names in business, fashion, and politics.

Zhao Feng, dressed in a midnight-black custom suit from Sovereign's debut collection, stood at the heart of it all. Cameras flashed, capturing his presence — the man who had risen from nothing to claim the world.

A towering digital screen displayed the Sovereign slogan:

"Not Luxury. Legacy."

As applause erupted, Zhao Feng's phone buzzed with a notification.
