"What's wrong? Did I hurt you or something?"Scott stared at Luisa, worry and confusion etched on his face. His wife's sudden rejection caught him off guard."Ah, sorry," Luisa muttered, looking down.Scott sighed. He had been annoyed by her refusal at first, but he quickly pushed that feeling aside and looked at his wife with compassion.Kneeling down to be at eye level with her, Scott smiled gently. He lifted his right hand to brush away the hair falling over her shoulder.Smack!Luisa slapped his hand away, standing up abruptly. Her gaze at Scott was now filled with fear, her chest rising and falling rapidly."Luisa?" Scott stood up, reaching out to her again, but she backed away, frightened."I'm sorry, Scott, but I think... we should shower separately. I'll go to my room," Luisa said.Just as she had said, she left Scott's room, closing the door behind her before he could say anything. Scott didn't chase after her. He had noticed the slight tremble in her hands and feet, a clear

"Y-you... W-who the hell are you...?" Eva asked as she tried to rise. Actually, there were other questions she wanted to ask, like how Scott had managed to dodge her lethal shots just now. Scott didn't seem to be hurt at all, as if there was a shield protecting his entire body perfectly. "Is that important? Do I need to answer that?" Scott countered, halting his steps. Now Scott stood tall in front of Eva, his fists clenched and his eyes blazing. Eva had never seen someone with such a terrifying presence before. Not even a large bear she once faced in a forest in northern Japan a few years ago was as terrifying as this. Eva felt that the figure standing before her now was a monster. And no matter how high her mastery of the martial arts she had studied for five years in Japan and China, she believed that it was all useless now. She had never trained to face a monster. "W-what are you going to do... to me?" Eva asked again. Scott squinted his eyes. The way he looked at Eva

Three of Jared's men screamed and fell. Two of them were missing a hand, and the other was missing a leg. Their blood was pouring out, pooling on the ground.Jared and his remaining goons instinctively backed away. They stared, disbelieving what they saw. Scott stood tall, holding the chainsaw, now stained with fresh blood."Who's next?" Scott asked coldly, turning his head and slowly pivoting his body.For a moment, Jared saw Scott's eyes flash red. And somehow, he looked bigger, as if a dark light surrounded his body, burning like fire."Boss?" Horn approached Jared, staring at him intensely, urging him to give an order.But Jared ignored him. At this point, he didn't know what order to give. Suddenly, all his arrogance and swagger had vanished. He felt so small in front of Scott."Boss? Give us your order!" Horn urged, still as eager as before; even what he had just seen made him even more eager to beat Scott to death."Shut up, Horn! Shut your fucking mouth!" Jared yelled.Horn st

In one of the three-story shophouses in Shadeshide, the red-light district in the heart of Mildenbrough, full of nightclubs and other entertainment venues...A man with a sturdy build was lifting weights in his office. He had left his shirt, tie, and suit jacket on the chair. The laptop on his desk was open, although the screen was black.The man was Keith, CEO of Ravenblade Syndicate, an illegal agency operating in the underworld of Mildenbrough. Many conglomerates and corrupt officials paid for their services to do dirty work, from embezzlement to murder.Bzz! Bzz!Keith stopped lifting weights for a moment and turned to look at the desk. There, his phone vibrated and the screen lit up. An incoming call, from who knows who.Slightly annoyed, Keith put down the 80-kilogram weight he was lifting and got up, moving towards the desk. As he picked up the phone and looked at the screen, he saw Eva's name appear. He furrowed his brow."What's wrong? You have new information about Scott and

Keith was about to lunge forward when suddenly Scott disappeared from his sight. He froze. His eyeballs moved back and forth, but he still couldn't find Scott."Looking for me?"Keith heard the voice very clearly, accompanied by a breath of air behind his ear.His eyes widened. He turned his body while releasing a hard punch, hoping his punch would hit Scott who was behind him. But...Hap!Scott grabbed Keith's hand without appearing to use much force. He stood his ground, giving Keith a condescending look."Come on, Boss. You're not serious at all," Scott mocked, showing a little of his teeth.Keith's eyes widened. He pulled his hand away from Scott's grasp and turned his body in the opposite direction, directing more force as he tried to kick Scott in the head.Hap!Again, Scott blocked Keith's attack with one hand, still with a gesture that showed he was barely using any force at all.Keith was confused by Scott's two identical responses to his attacks. And before he could launch a
