Alex lowered his body with Ava behind the parked car. “Stay here, I’ll handle them,” he said, his voice firm.He stood up and yelled, “I have a gun with me, but it’s without a silencer. Do you want me to fire it and attract everyone, or do you want to settle this quietly like men with our fist?”The two men, Peter Gavin's bodyguards, both special forces from Aslan, Lee and Nico, holstered their guns and walked out.Lee sneered, “I like it when you’re confident, Empire soldier.”They approached each other, sizing each other up."So, you're the Aslan bastards who shoot people from behind. Quite the gentlemen, aren't you?" Alex taunted, addressing both of them, noting their Aslan ethic trait.“You really know how to dig your own grave, don’t you? Fucking Empire,” Lee and Nico smirked, feeling confident they could kill Alex anytime they wanted.“We don’t know whose grave I’m digging, right? Because I’ve dug two graves, just for you,” Alex replied, his eyes burning with determination.Just

The restaurant fell silent. Jasmine stepped forward, her voice trembling. "We are the White family. What do you want?"The leader of the soldiers stepped forward, a smirk on his face. "It's simple. Lily White, Rosemary White, Jasmine White—three of you are coming with us."The big family that had been trying to get closer to them suddenly stepped away as if the three of them were carrying a contagious disease.Lily's mother gasped, clutching Lily's arm. "Officer, what is the meaning of this?"“What is your name?” the officer asked.“Rosemary,” she replied.“Then who are Lily and Jasmine?” The soldiers could clearly see the uneasy glances from the other people directed at the three women nearby.“What is all of this about?” Rosemary asked again, her voice filled with anxiety.“We got a report that three of you have been collaborating with Aslan. You are accused of being spies planted by Aslan. Come with us to assist in the investigation, or we will have to force you,” the officer decla

About an hour ago, before the soldier kidnapped Lily and the others, Alex was at the hotel room arranging the war strategy with Aslan, when he received a call from Lavinia."Sir, we have hacked into Ethan, Lee, and Nico’s smartphones while they are in jail. Whenever they use their phone, we will hear it.""Then find a way to let the fishes back to ocean," Alex said."We got a report that Peter Gavin is giving Lieutenant Colonel Kevin the task to free them.""Alright, use that chance to let them go."But after a few minutes, Lavinia called him again. "Sir, Ethan just called Lily, and from our tapping, we heard Ethan was going to kill Lily and the family to lure you there and kill them. What should we do?""Give me their location."Lavinia sent the tapping device's GPS coordinates, and Alex quickly prepared himself with his gun.As he walked out of the hotel on the sixth floor, the first floor was a plaza.In that place, he found a completely brand-new big sports motorcycle and appear s

Lieutenant Colonel Kevin felt a splitting headache coming on.He had been thoroughly enjoying his intimate time with Jasmine and was on the very brink of climaxing when Ethan abruptly burst into the room, yelling frantically that someone had hit him and taken Lily away.It was supposed to be just a few more push and pull until he reached orgasm, but the sudden interruption caused Jasmine and him to lose the moment they were searching for an hour.Really a headache and heartache.Ethan also kicked open Henry and Rosemary's room door, finding them in the middle of their own intimate fun.Rosemary glanced at Ethan and asked, "Do you want to join us for a threesome?"Ethan looked at Rosemary's body and gulped, "Maybe later.""Let's do it now," Kevin said eagerly, rushing toward Rosemary, but Ethan quickly grabbed him."This isn't the right time. We need to find out who hit me and took Lily away."Finally, Ethan, Kevin, Jasmine and Rosemary sat around the table, each lost in their own thou

“You rude Empire barbarian,” Crystal Gavin said, her face blushing red. But after saying that, she regretted it immediately. “I am sorry.”“No worries. All Federation people always call us barbarians from the Empire,” Alex said, eating his serving and even pouring some wine for Crystal. “Don’t worry about it.”Crystal felt deep regret and whispered, “We met for the first time at my engagement banquet. You helped me cancel my engagement with Nicholas Gray. I am truly thankful for that.”“No need to thank me, he tried to kill Ava Sharp, and got what he deserved. I am not doing anything at all.”She took a glass of mineral water on the table, drank it, and continued. “Two hours ago, I secretly heard my father angrily confronting my brother Ethan. He seemed like he wanted to kill you. And I know him well; he will secretly try to do it. So, I came to tell you to get out of this city before my brother finds you.”“You have a kind heart, Crystal, very different from your father and brother,”
