"Whatever you heard is true," Chris doesn't beat around as he responds with a sad sigh. "I shouldn't say more than that as this is top secret but considering your relationship with Black Dragon, I might as well let you know that earlier today, the Mafia boss gave order for Black Dragon's assassination. Indeed, Black Dragon is dead!""But why?! Why?!" Deathpool gasps, incredulity lacing his voice. "Why would the Mafia boss do that?""Well, from what I've been able to gather, it turns out Black Dragon offended who he couldn't afford to provoke, someone even the Mafia boss himself can't afford to provoke so the Mafia boss had no other option but to order his assassination to appease the formidable figure. This is all I know."Deathpool slowly glances up at Jordan, his tone quivering as he asks, "Perhaps, is this formidable figure a young man in his twenties?""I really can't say. Not like I don't want to tell you but I don't know. His identity is confidential," Chris replies diplomatical

"Respected sirs," he utters with a blend of deference and a slight bow, "May I ask why you guys are here? Does the Mafia boss know of your appearances? And why are acting on Mr. Capone's directives?Elder Cornelius narrows his gaze, emitting an intense stare. "By what right do you pose such queries to us?" he retorts sharply. "Anyway, we are here to help Mr. Capone achieve his aim! Anyone who tries to stop us would be considered an enemy!"Deathpool's heart skips a beat. "But, Sirs...," He tries to say but Elder Nelson interjects abruptly, cutting him off, "We don't want to hear any nonsense!" He snarls, "Are you getting out of our way or should we make you?"Anxiety prickles beneath Deathpool's skin, his composure starting to falter. Regardless of how powerful a man is, there are invariably those more powerful. One of these elders is enough to kill him. The realization of this leaves his legs unsteady.What will he do? His gaze flickers to Jordan to see if he has any suggestions, bu

"My Lord, considering all he's done, I understand he deserves severe punishment. However, in light of my years of loyal service to you, could you perhaps spare his life?" Lorenzo implores, his tone tinged with desperation. "I don't ask that you withhold consequences, but merely that you grant him mercy in the end."Jordan takes a deep breath, casting a cold glance at Luca before saying calmly, "It's good that you know he deserves punishment. In that case, I'll only have his legs crippled and have someone send him back to you after. Is that a fair resolution?""Absolutely, My Lord. I'm deeply grateful," Lorenzo's gratitude is palpable, his voice a mix of relief and thankfulness. Naturally, he knows that it is only because of his relationship with Jordan that he chooses to relent. If it were to be someone else, there is no doubt that Luca would have been dead by now."Here," without saying anything more to Lorenzo, Jordan tosses Luca's phone back to him and declares sternly, "Consider

In the wake of Jordan's swift and unemotional action, a heavy silence blankets the room. Naturally, there should have been a cacophony of babbles as the minds of Penelope and the rest are brimming with thoughts to be aired out but none dare utter a word for fear of saying anything that would end up provoking Jordan. Just a second ago, Jordan was all smiles, but in another second, he had struck Olivia so hard that she lost four teeth and her cheek split open. She will undoubtedly have to have the wound sewn and will possibly retain a scar after it heals. Jordan's personality seems to change in the blink of an eye that they are so puzzled about the kind of man he truly is.Daisy, however, pays no heed to the palpable tension as her voice cuts through the silence like a blade, cold and unwavering. "Olivia de la Croix, don't think that slap is enough to atone for your actions!"She glares at her seemingly unconscious body and continues frostily, "Starting today, I want you to stay at

Natasha stands frozen in shock. Daisy Kane? The name sends a chill down her spine. But what stings even more is the phrase that keeps echoing in her mind: "Jordan is my man!" Tears trickle down cheeks as she grapples with the pain of the misunderstanding. Jordan had clearly misunderstood her actions, and before she could even get the chance to explain, he had seemingly moved on with another girl. And that with the misunderstanding just now has ended up adding another layer of complication to their already tangled relationship."Natasha, what are you still standing there for?" The young man with Natasha questions, a furrow forming on his brow. "That jerk and his girl have already left!"Natasha blinks and looks around, realizing that indeed, Jordan and Daisy have departed. She had been so lost in thought that she hadn't even noticed their departure.She lets out a heavy sigh, trying to quell the hurt, and wipes away her tears before turning back to the young man. "Let's go.""Sure thi
