Thomas sat on the balcony of his mansion in the heart of Mildenbrough. He had just spoken to Clara on the phone. Now he put his phone on the round glass table next to him."Women are a nuisance. They're the same everywhere," he said.What he said was related to his conversation with Clara earlier, especially about his promise to Clara to release an S-class prisoner from Iron Stone prison. That was the condition Clara gave so that the secret agent would be willing to help him frame Scott."Just do your job until it's finished, Bitch. I'll take care of the rest," Thomas said, picking up a glass of whiskey and taking a sip.Thomas and Clara were old friends. They had also had a physical relationship for a few months, before Clara's husband at the time sniffed it out and they broke up.This was the man Clara asked to be released, even though he was serving a prison sentence for a series of murders he committed over a ten-year period, including when he was already Clara's husband.The fact

Scott was shocked by what Clara did. He was so surprised that he was silent for a fraction of a second. Only then did he push Clara's body away and release her grip.Unfortunately, Scott was too late. Luisa quickly left, returning to Scott's black McLaren."Luisa," Scott muttered, looking at his wife anxiously.Then he looked at Clara again, finding the woman smiling slyly."I told you she could wait," she said.Scott's blood boiled. His face flushed red, and he snorted. If Clara wasn't a woman, he would have punched her and knocked her teeth out right now.So what did Scott do?He moved away from Clara's body, opened the car door, and got out.Scott didn't bother closing the car door again. He ran towards his car.Upon reaching his car, Scott found that Luisa had locked all the doors. Behind the dark window, Scott saw his wife looking at him angrily."Open the door, Luisa. You're misunderstanding. What just happened wasn't what you thought," Scott said, placing his hand on the window

"We meet again," Scott said, stepping out.In front of him, Clara stared at him with a tense face. The two soldiers who were Zach's men tried to get up. While coughing, they gave a respectful salute to Scott.Noticing this, Clara said, "So my guess was right, huh? You're the one who sent these two soldiers. Are you a soldier too, Scott?""If I am, why? Are you scared? Is that why you're looking at me like that?" Scott said coldly.Clara smirked. "Me scared? Of you? Don't be ridiculous," she said, chuckling.Even though Scott's figure looked dangerous this time—far from when they met in the elevator and in his car earlier—Clara didn't feel Scott was superior to her.After all, she was an experienced secret agent, an S-class spy with a wealth of skills and abilities that allowed her to win any fight or duel with anyone.The two soldiers who were Zach's men earlier, for example, were like two ants in her eyes that she could kill in an instant if she wanted to."So, what are you looking f

Thomas had just returned to his mansion, taking off his long black robe, when his phone rang.He checked it and furrowed his brow, finding Joe, his aide and confidant at the Mildenbrough police station, calling him.Joe wouldn't dare call him unless there was something extremely important he wanted to convey.While hanging his robe on the hanger near the bedroom door, Thomas picked up the phone."What's the problem there that you're bothering me?" Thomas asked curtly.[I'm sorry, Commander, but this is an emergency. Someone came to the police station and suddenly caused a commotion. Dozens of police officers were knocked out by him. He also damaged several desks and doors. Now he's in control here.]Thomas approached the bed and sat on the edge of it. Wrinkles appeared on his forehead."Who is he?"[The guy we arrested and interrogated yesterday, Commander.]Thomas narrowed his eyes. The figure of Scott immediately came to mind. Only he could possibly do what Joe had described earlier

Scott channeled the life energy within him into Joe. It looked like a bright green light briefly enveloped Joe's body. Thomas watched what Scott was doing with a very serious expression.And a moment later, Joe coughed. Scott pulled back his hand and stood up, giving Joe room to sit up.From his facial expression and gestures, Joe seemed to have no idea what had happened to him. One of his hands touched his chest. His cough slowly subsided and finally stopped."Joe, are you okay?"Joe looked up in the direction of the voice. "Commander? What happened?" he asked."You were beaten unconscious," Thomas replied. "How are you feeling now?"Joe checked his body, especially his stomach where Scott had hit him very hard earlier.He remembered how hard Scott's punch was, so hard that he felt like he was going to die. But now, when he touched his stomach, he didn't feel any pain."I'm good, Commander. I think I'm good," Joe said.Those words should have relieved Thomas, but he looked confused a
