Carlo Gotti laughed harshly. "Come on, Victoria, you can't just cancel things like this. Do you realize I've prepared for 200 people at today’s event? Can you even fathom how much it costs for them to stay here?”“I will pay you,” Victoria retorted, her voice trembling slightly still trying to appear tough. “Just tell me how much you want.”“Come, sit down first. We can talk about the money later. We all friends, for now, give me Alex’s number; let me call him this time.”“I don’t want to.”Carlos stood abruptly and slammed a wine bottle near Victoria’s feet. The glass shattered on the marble floor, and the red liquid spilled around Victoria's feet. "You'd better sit back down while I'm still being polite," he warned.Fear swiftly enveloped Victoria, spreading through her body like a chilling wind. She walked back to the couch.“Be a good girl,” Carlo said forcefully as he took Victoria’s smartphone from her hand and dialed Alex using the recent calls list, this time opting for a vide

Alex used his inner energy to enhance his vision in the dark room and could see a bit.He walked to Victoria and grabbed her wrist, sending his inner energy to slow the poison's spread and bring her some clarity."Where am I?" she asked, her voice trembling."We're locked in the safe room.""Am I blind?" she asked, panic rising as she realized she couldn't see."No, we're in a closed room, and Carlo locked us in here, waiting for us to die from lack of oxygen.""Who are you?" Victoria suddenly panicked, trying to forcefully pull away from Alex's hand. "Let me go!""If I let go, the poison will spread quickly, and you'll lose your sanity again.""What happened to me?""I think you drank a lust poison that makes you feel intense desire. If you don't have sex in 30 minutes, your blood will rush to your head and destroy your head’s nerves."Victoria slowly remembered everything. "Can you help me?" Victoria asked, desperation in her voice."No, I can only use my energy to slow the poison f

Inside the council chamber, Alexander led his followers to the right-side meeting room, where a tense discussion was taking place.Christopher and his followers occupied the left-side meeting room.Alexander looked at his followers and asked, “I never ordered the killing of Christopher’s followers. Did any of you do that?”Ivan spoke first, his voice firm, “None of us did it. I think they’re doing it themselves to tarnish your name and find a way to take the throne.”“Yeah,” one of the nobles added, nodding in agreement.“I don’t think it’s a good time to war with Christopher,” another noble interjected. “The Drakonia Federation is waiting for us to show any weakness, and they’ll attack our empire.”“No worries,” Ivan Romanov added confidently. “Just attack Christopher and finish the civil war in a day. They won’t stand a chance with the god of war on our side.”Alexander sighed, contemplating the advice. “Alright. I will only place soldiers on the border city during the war and deplo

Grandma Deneuve looked down at Sophia, her eyes filled with satisfaction. "You finally came here. I told you that man was no good for you, but you didn't believe me. Now he's run away from you. How much money did he steal from you already?""Alex didn't steal any money from me!" Sophia replied, her voice trembling with disbelief. How could they reach that kind of thinking?"Too ashamed to admit it?" Grandma Deneuve sneered. "You finally taste your own mistake."All of Sophia's family laughed at her, their mocking laughter filling the room and echoing off the walls.Andrew Deneuve, the first uncle, added, "Sophia, Jerry has become the new CEO of the Deneuve business. He's checked the account books and found that when you were the CEO, you stole money from our family business. I believe the money you stole was used to rent this wedding venue.""What kind of bullshit are you talking about?" Sophia's emotions peaked, her face flushed with anger. "I always kept the books straight when I wa

When all command on the chaos. All the aircraft connected to Alexander.“Good morning, all soldiers, here is your military supreme leader, Alexander,” said the voice.“Starting now, I will take control of all ships, including those under the command of my brother Christopher's soldiers.”“This mission is a very secret mission carried out by our double agents, Ivan Romanov and Peter Roskov, who have secretly become Drakonia Federation spies and, at the same time, our double agents.”Ivan and Peter were in their aircraft control room, shocked as Alexander said that. They were totally not double agents. They were Drakonia spies.“Ivan Romanov and Peter Roskov have bravely given the Drakonia Federation information about our civil war and led their soldiers to the mountain near Kirov city, where our people have already set a trap for them. And now, with the capital city empty...”Alexander looked at everyone. “To give them honor, Ivan Romanov and Peter Roskov, along with some other nobles,
