Juliet gritted her teeth both with irritation and jealousy, wishing that she could leave a few scratches on that beautiful face of Sophia.

But they were in the Young family business group turf, and they could not cause any form of troubles there.

"I would have thought so, you will always be hiding under a lady. When are you ever going to have something of your own?" Gerow laughed at him.

“Just take a look at Gerow here. He got the tickets without any form of stress. That's the definition of a real man, not someone hiding under a ladies skirt.” Juliet muttered.

But Eddie was not moved by the words.

“I thought you went through to high school and you can differentiate a kid from a man?”

“How dare you.” Gerow thundered at him.

“I know the truth his bitter but don't try to remove the speck from my eyes my darling. When your stop hiding under the clutches of your father's company, then you can talk to me.”

A smile hovered on Sophia's lips. Eddie was more than able to stand his ground with

Her company was the youngest among those that were chosen for the nominationThe possibility that they were going to get it was very low. Her heart raced with anticipation.Juliet could sense the worries in her eyes as she turned over to her."Are you okay?" She inquired but Clara nodded her head to signal that she was fine. But Juliet already knew Clara better than to lie to her."You are worried about the cooperation aren't you?" She said slightly.Just then, Eddie made his way into the hall. He was already done with Sophia and wanted to enjoy the rest of the evening but too bad for him, his seat was structured right before Clara's.Juliet's teeth twisted with so much disdain as she went ahead to say."Must you always junk yourself into us?" He replied."You guys said I attract poverty the oth

    The news was like a thousand spikes running through her nerves, her motions paralyzed on a spot.Juliet's face flooded with sweat. Her heart was pounding even after but all her attention was more confused on Clara.Juliet was worried that something terrible was going to happen to her so she quickly pulled over to Sophia, her face washed up with a confused expression."Clara, Clara, are you okay?" She called out.Even Gerow was confused thinking that they were finally going to figure it out, but it turned out that their hatred exceeded all boundaries.Juliet turned over to Eddie with a deadly snare that was enough to snap anyone off from their breaths and thundered at him."It's all your fault." Her voice re-echoed in the hall.Eddie was confused and angry at the same time but it was easy to know that Juliet wasn't worth someone getting angry about."How is it my fault?" He replied with a twitch in his facial expression while Juliet was still blowing hot red with anger. "You were the

    Gerow was confused as to what they were talking about. A few minutes ago, he left them in such a sorry state but coming back, they were buzzing with excitement."What do you mean?" Gerow inquired, lost in the realms of his confusion.But Juliet's lips shifted into a really broad smile afterward. "You are so modest Gerow. After doing so much, you act as though it's nothing. You can help us to appreciate your Dad for the help." She beamed with a smile.Gerow was able to connect the two events and he understood nothing about what they were talking about."It's just a little issue that my dad could take care of with a call or two. It was nothing much so I didn't feel there was any worth telling your guys about it." He seemed to be calm but on the inside, he was swelling with pride.Even though he knew nothing about what had happened. The offer had been placed right before him, how could he reject such kindness?Clara's face brightened. She felt stupid for thinking that Eddie had anythi

    The Devil Saw building was enough to send cold chills down the spine of anyone.This building stood at the very act of the city, likened to a buggy man's tale. A place that houses the underworld thugs of the city. Thugs that were bold enough to express their threats even in the face of the media.Even though the government knew the evil that went around in this building, no one dared to come up against it because of the people they had backing up their atrocities.The rotating motion of the chair brought to light Mr. Dave, the leader of the thugs that engulfed this building.Dressed in all his splendor, it was more like an office job for him. He was on his phone with a thick frown on his face.Mr. Klev just called and wanted a job done, not that it was unusual but taking a look at the punk in one phone, his frown deepened even more.Eddie looked sickly and wasn't worth his time. Could it be that all the thugs have gone missing from the city? Or Mr. Klev no longer saw his worth."Smac

    There was a sense of arrogance in Collin's feet as he sprang up to his feet with a grin."Now that you realize who I am you are frightened huh?" His stare was directed towards Gerow.Gerow tried to squeeze through a smile, even though his family was doing well, a murder from the Devil's Saw was going to be swept under the rug"I thought we were friends, Mr. Collins, I was just trying to get to know you better." He quivered.He laughed, and someone else joined him too, not knowing what to do."That would be great. We should get to know each other too. Apart from being the son of Mr. Dave, you know what else I am, your ticket to heaven." He quickly said.More pee forced itself out through Gerow's reflexes. Collins and the rest of the gang soon rolled out into a mocking laughter.Then, Collins remembered that there was something that was left to be done and his laughter met with an abrupt stop.He turned around towards Clara and walked towards her with a grin.

    The men surged towards him at the same time, with the intent of crushing him down to dust.Everyone stared at Eddie with the looks that would give to an already dead man.Because in their eyes, he was already.There was no way that he could escape from the attack.But Eddie was unbothered. He continued to type words into his cell phone and only looked up once with the gaze of an unfazed Villain.With his phone on and with the other free hand, he struck a punch that went through every one of them.Like the speed of a lightning bolt, only Eddie's impact could be felt and he seemed to have molten into the wind.The crowd that had gathered to watch Eddie's downfall was petrified. Even Clara could not believe what lay before her.‘He had such a skill and kept it away from me.’ Were the thoughts that clouded Clara's mind as she watched the events unfold before her.Soon, all the men were all on the floor, all groaning with pain. How Eddie once looked quickly evolved.The groans of the thugs

    Clara was stunned and angry at Eddie's behavior all together. But even though he didn't care for himself, he was going to get them into a lot of trouble?She quickly stepped forward to stop him before he was going to make even more mistakes, getting them into a lot more trouble than they were already."What do you think that you are doing Edward." She inquired with furrowed brows.Eddie took a quick stare at her while still keeping a watchful gaze at Collins who was still groaning in pain on the floor."I didn't realize how much time had gotten a hold of you, are you that old?" He replied and Clara didn't fail to notice his sarcastic remarks, making her frown."Do you think that this is a joke to you? Do you realize who his father is and what he is going to do if he dares to find out about this?" She replied, still putting up a deep frown."I know you have grown to become so selfish but if you aren't thinking about yourself, are you even thinking about the people that you would be ge

    Collins was dragged off from the hall, while everyone stared in astonishment. Some had started to leave the place as soon as they could.They could already tell that sooner or later, Mr. Dave was going to barge in with his battalion to bring down the place. It was going to be disastrous, having anything to do with the incident.The numbers gradually continued to dwindle over time and soon, mostly Clara and her team coupled with Eddie were left in the hall.For a while, nobody spoke. They kept on moping at each other.But in the real sense, they were just lost in a daze, unable to distinguish reality from an illusion.They were yet to recover from the shocks that were running through their veins.But soon, Clara forged ahead to break the silence with these sayings on her lips."What's wrong with you Eddie? You thought that the man I married, even though was useless and pitiful, was at least humble.""By humble you meant watching someone end my life while I did nothing? Are you for re

    A strange ripple of astonishment rushed down the spine of the blue banded hand man when he noticed that he had just been rescued by Eddie.His eyes popped out from his sockets in shocks. Leo who was still groaning in pain was able to look far ahead at exactly what was happening.Their hearts flustered at the sight of it and their gazes froze almost in instant. Especially Leo.He was the one that had received a blow from this man and could tell exactly how powerful it was.Could it be that Eddie knew about martial arts and had been able to stop that blow with his strength.Leo quickly threw the thoughts of that away from his head. There was certainly no way that it was possible so It could only mean that the man had noy used his full strength in that attack."Don't worry! I don't want you dead yet!" Eddie sad with a pitiful looks that had been directed towards the man The others that still had the privilege to be alive thanks to Eddie gassed immediately they heard these words."Just

    The astonishment that ran through his body knew no bounds at the moment. Leo could swear that those moves were amateurish and his men could have been able to take it out in a heartbeat."I'm sure that they were just way too relaxed after the first set was defeated!" He muttered."You saw that man. Even though they are babies at this! You all have to be serious!" Leo announced loud enough for all of them to hear.But the men that were guarding Eddie scoffed and laughed at these words instead."Serous? With those bunch of fools that were barely able to pull a few martial arts skills?" One of them muttered in between their laughter."I was so sure that Michael was no good and his end was going to be here. I just didn't think that it was going to come pretty soon." The guy with the blue band expressed his disappointment."I'm sure that if I had been given enough of a chance, I would have been able to take all of them with both eyes closed. But here I am, guarding this piece of bodily tr

    Eddie and the driver hesitated a little bit. Their eyes flashing at multiple instances until Leo finally flashed back at them with a glare."Didn't you understand what I just said? I want you to take cover!" He almost yelled at them.His youthful vigor gradually rose up within him, wanting to be done with the threat before him as soon as possible before heading back to be congratulated.The driver whose legs betrayed the heroic looks to his face slowly turned to Eddie, whispering into his ears."This place isn't safe anymore. I really think that we should leave." He muttered with his voice shuttering at the end.Edward remains calm by all means, keeping a straight face."Worry about yourself!" He muttered. "Take cover elsewhere, I will be just fine. I don't think that it will ever get to something that I won't be able to handle!" He replied, his voice dripping with confidence.The men even in their best in an attempt to hold back their laughter could not let it out in an instant."W

    Eddie, sure that he has seen this man with Sophia before, didn't try to hide his disdained smile.."Yeah! I work with Miss Sophia's intervention team. Our lady asked me to help you out." Leo said with a smile."Cho! Do you really think that I sent all these men to take out a weak fellow like you? Do the calms bro, If I wanted you dead, you would have been dead already." Leo noted with a hint of amusement.Eddie eased his tense shoulders, sure from his movement that he wasn't there for any harm.But his last words made him scoffed. All of them would not take him out even with both his eyes closed.However, there was no extent proving a point to this stranger.Eddie turned around towards the stranger who was still in his fighting position and said with another low sigh."No one is going to do anything to you. You can pull out that thing that you are doing." Eddie almost let out his frustration."Are you sure?" The driver trusted Eddie but that bald man that was once hooded, he so didn'

    Eddie's expression did not twitch even for a single moment, even though he didn't know anything about what the driver was talking about."Unlike most people, I was expecting a shocking expression on your face but you are acting so calm?" The driver felt strange with this man in his car.The only reason that he had gotten him was because of his urgent need for money.He has a wife and two kids to take care of. However, due to the recent happenings around the place, he was forced to put off business.But how long was he going to bear it for? The breath of the driver was sucked into his lungs as he thought about his wife bleeding to me now to leave.However, if he stayed, he was assured that they were going to starve to death."I know that you are worried. You shouldn't be. If there is any problem, I will be more than enough to defend myself and you." Eddie said, resting backward.A strain of astonishment jerked through his body. He was only worried and didn't even know it yet this man

People were lost in stare but no one dared to pair forward for fear that they would be engulfed in the flames that were already raging in the city.Days ago, there was news about Davis, the leader of the Devilsaw going missing. Everyone thought that it was a joke.How could the Almighty leader of the Devilsaw group go missing? That could not happen, even in a fantasy world.But it turned out that it was true after his brother decided to run a search and it turned out that his body was buried at the center of the city where nobody would ever think of searching.But it turned out that he had a tracker implant in his body with which they would be able to search him easily.In the vast room, Herald, a man in his mid-thirties with a thick scar running through his face stood before an empty coffin.I could not even give my brother a proper burial." He growled with hate and anger running all through his spine.His hands are alr
