“D-DON’T kill him.” Despite having difficulty breathing because of his position right now, Winston still managed to speak. “Let me go, Damian. I promise I won’t do anything that can harm you. Trust my words.”“I don’t trust words. I only trust results,” said Damian in a cold tone as he pulled Winston’s hair, making the latter grimace. He also felt his wound opening up because of what Damian did. “Command those two to go outside, or else everyone here will die… including people outside. You know what will happen if I don’t make a call, right? “When Damian said ‘people outside,’ he was talking about Winston’s daughter, making the latter freeze in his position. He gritted his teeth in anger. Upon analyzing the situation, which is three versus one, Winston knew h

DAMIAN nodded. “That is all for now. I will call you again when I need something. Also, inform me if something strange happens or if some suspicious people are walking back and forth in your place.”“Affirmative, young master,” replied Leo’s minion.After that, Damian ended the call. He looked at Winston afterward, expecting that he would have a terrified expression after hearing their conversation. Well, Damian saw that along with the confusion on Winston’s face. But that is not all…He saw Winston’s eyes filled with admiration and hope… Something that made Damian’s brows furrowed this time.“What?” Damian asked, raising an eyebrow. “Why are you looking like that? You are scaring me.” And he wasn’t even joking. Seeing Winston smile at him genuinely brought a different kind of fear to Damian than his rage earlier.“You didn’t really plan to kill my daughter earlier, did you?” asked Winston as the side of his lips rose, his eyes now glimmering with joy.Damian couldn’t help but move hi

“COME AGAIN?” Damian asked, not being able to internalize what the nurse had said. “Who is handling those people I disposed of from the prison?” “Sabrina Cornerstone-Ferremento. Your mother,” the nurse answered, her tone low and polite. “The Cornerstone Alliances was leading the guns and weapons industry, and although Ma’am Sabrina isn’t an official part of the Cornerstone family anymore, she still ensured the safety of her family and the company. That is the purpose why the group is created, young master.” Damian’s brows furrowed as there were too many questions in his mind. “Did Father continue that purpose?” “As far as I know, Master Veron couldn’t continue it even if he wanted to,” she said, looking at the CCTV camera from time to time. “Ma’am Sabrina’s parents didn’t approve of Master Veron when they got married, so he never got the authorization to lead the Cornerstone Alliances even after Ma’am Sabrina’s death.” ‘Then the group was resurrected not because of the Cornerstone

“A RED snake tattoo?” Veron repeated, his voice slightly cracked as his brows furrowed further, not expecting Damian’s question. “What are you talking about?” he tried to play innocently, but Damian could sense that.“Father, you know what I’m talking about,” answered Damian confidently, his tone polite as he sighed. “That group… I know that you are aware of it, too.”Veron closed his eyes, knowing he couldn’t deceive his son. “Do you remember your past now?”Damian went silent for a moment. One of the core memories he remembered was about his adoptive mother, Reina, at the time when his head hit the ground during his fall on the cliff. But he never told that to anyone and kept it a secret.“No. Not yet.” And it will remain as one.Veron nodded, clutching his chest as he felt the nervousness consuming his body, the same as his rapid heartbeat. He wanted Damian to remember anything, especially those who had those horrible scars on his back that he forgot due to his amnesia.However,

THE MOST horrible thing happened decades ago, but Veron could still remember it like everything just happened yesterday. What was supposed to be a temporary thing almost became a permanent one, causing chaos for mankind.Veron remembered it all—From how he formulated the Red Snake Organization to do illegal transactions and gain more money they could use to acquire more shares and build companies, down to the command of banishing it.“This isn’t what we agreed upon, brother. We set a quota on how much we are going to save to circulate it in the company, and once we reach it, we are going to stop,” Veron said to Corell, his older brother.“I know… I know. But do you know what Father also taught us, right? We should take all the opportunities we can get, and this is one of them!” Corell answered, smiling devilishly. “Can’t you see how much we are earning from this? It is even more than what we earn in the company!”“Really? You are calling all the things we are doing now an opportunity?
