Before going on his mission, Nelson had texted his wife. However, Cecilia became worried when he didn't pick up the phone, so she rushed over with their daughter. The sight of blood at the door only made her even more uneasy. "Nelson? Where are you?" Cecilia cried out worriedly.All Kirin Gang members remained silent, their heads lowered. The entire manor was quiet. "Nelson?"When Cecilia finally arrived at the meeting room, she was stunned. Was that bloody corpse on the floor, her husband?She stumbled forward in disbelief. Reality sank in when she saw the man's face, and she threw herself over the body and began to weep. "Wake up, Nelson! Wake up! Please open your eyes! Oh, why did this happen?" Tears streamed down Cecilia's face. Haley was crying as well. She ran over to Nelson and kept pushing his body. "Daddy, wake up! Weren't we going to celebrate my birthday? You promised me you would bring me to the theme park! "Wake up! Y—you broke your promise. Bad daddy! I
Felix was lying on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth in a lavish mansion in Eastville. He had one of his legs propped up on a coffee table with a bloody hand firmly attached to it. Two of his men crouched beside the table as they carefully tried to pry the hand off. Because of how firm Nelson's grip was, his nails had already dug into Felix's skin. "Damn it, be careful!" Felix hissed with a frown, kicking one of the men to the floor. "Give us a second. We're almost done." His subordinate smiled apologetically. Finally, they managed to get Nelson's hand off. "What the fuck is wrong with that asshole? He just wouldn't let go! Why did he have to go so far for that bastard?" Felix cursed. He had been waiting for his chance since the Kirin Gang was established. Although he had finally become a guildmaster and lived a much better life than before, he refused to obey someone else's command. He had always been greedy, so he kept his eyes glued to the leader's position. A
"We might want money. But we want your death more. Sir Rhys will forgive us if we take you down." The rugged leader shook his head. "Run, Sir! We'll take care of them!" Felix's loyal subordinates went forward and blocked the Charging Tiger Guild disciples. "Good job, men! Stand strong!" Felix patted one of their shoulders. He grabbed his wife, turned around, and ran. "Kill them!"The rugged man lifted his sword and charged toward Felix's men. Although Felix's subordinates tried their best, they were no match for the guild disciples and were quickly defeated. "After him!" The rugged man chased after Felix. "Ouch!" Just then, Felix's wife tripped and fell. "Honey, I sprained my ankle! Carry me on your back!" she cried out. "You're such a nuisance!" Felix was about to help her when he spotted the men approaching them. He retracted his hand and spun around to run. "Honey? Honey!" The woman exclaimed, but Felix never turned around. There was no way that woman's life was m
Inside one of the black sedans, Dustin rested his head against his headrest with his eyes closed. Despite how calm he looked outside, his murderous glint was exposed when he opened his eyes.Suddenly, his phone began to ring. Cornelius was calling him. "Sir, as you ordered, we've cut Felix apart and left his head untouched.""Alright," Dustin answered emotionlessly. "Sir, we've captured Felix's wife and son. What should we do about them?" Cornelius asked. "Kill them." "Yes, sir," Cornelius responded. "That reminds me." Dustin suddenly changed the topic. "Tell someone to look into Gavin Killian's whereabouts.""Sir, he's quite a powerful man. Are you sure you want to do that?" Cornelius hesitated. "I don't care who he is. Anyone who kills my friend deserves to die. Get it done at once!" Dustin snapped."Yes, sir!" Cornelius instantly responded. The Kirin Gang had many disciples, so it was easy for them to collect information. They found out where Gavin was in less th
"Why can't you see how wonderful your life would be if you married Mr. Killian? You'd have the whole world wrapped around your finger!" Florence was exasperated."If I want power, I can get it with my hands. I don't want to get it through marriage." Dahlia shook her head."Dahlia …" Florence sighed resignedly. "Alright, alright. I guess the fruits of her labor will taste sweeter." Victoria intervened, but she was secretly happy. Since Dahlia didn't like Gavin, Julie might have a chance. "Look, it's Mr. Killian!" Julie exclaimed. Everyone turned toward the door and saw Gavin entering confidently. Wearing a suit, he was followed by a group of men.The other guests automatically opened a path for them when they walked by. Their intense aura instantly made them the center of attention."What brings you here, Mr. Killian?" Florence and several others greeted enthusiastically. "It's your birthday, Mrs. Nicholson. It's only natural that I send my wishes." Gavin gestured with a
The noise made everyone turn to look. A man dressed in mourning attire walked in, surrounded by a murderous air. His expression was so cold it sent shivers up people's spines. "Dustin? What's he doing here?" Florence frowned. She was sure she didn't invite him, so he'd better not be here for the free food."He must be crazy. How could he wear mourning clothes at a birthday banquet? Ugh!" Victoria and Julie were disgusted at Dustin's choice of attire."Speak of the devil. I guess he does have a death wish." Gavin smirked coldly. He initially planned to take care of Dustin a few days later, but Dustin had approached him first. "Dustin?" Dahlia lit up and rushed over to greet him. She'd been worried that he was too angry at her to show up, so she was happy to see him. It proved that she was important to him. "I knew you'd come, Dustin. I …" Dahlia's words faltered when she met Dustin's cold glare. She was instantly rooted to the spot. She had never seen Dustin with such a
Florence registered what happened and roared, "Hey, grab that asshole!" Soon, dozens of security guards charged into the hall and surrounded Dustin, holding stun batons. "Get him!"The guards rushed toward Dustin, who sent needles flying with a flick of his wrist. Immediately, the guards fell to the floor before they reached him. They held their stomachs as their faces concerted in pain. The terrifying sight made the guests shrink back in fear. Even Florence kept silent. It was easy to see that Dustin was no longer the same person they knew. "You're going to die today, Gavin. And no one can save you." Dustin turned, and his deadly stare fell on Gavin. "Insolent brat!" The long-haired man jumped up, meeting Dustin's glare with a defiant one. "And who are you?" Dustin narrowed his eyes. "I'm the Gloomster, Spike Floyd!" the long-haired man announced, causing an uproar. "Oh, my God! Spike Floyd the Gloomster? What's he doing here?""Who's Spike Floyd? Is he powerful?
Everyone was shocked to see Spike hanging from the ceiling. Their jaws dropped in disbelief. None of them expected things to turn out like this. After all, Dustin's opponent was Spike the Gloomster!Shouldn't such a powerful individual have easily won? So why was he defeated with a single punch? Why was he stuck in the ceiling, unable to escape?This Spike must be an imposter, or there'd have been no way he'd lose like that. "Is this for real? S—Spike Floyd was defeated?""Holy shit! Who the hell is he? Even the Gloomer was no match for him!""That's impossible!"The whole hall erupted into a frenzy after a silent pause. Everyone looked at Dustin like he was a monster. "I—impossible! There's no way Spike would lose!" Gavin's smile disappeared. He looked stunned. He knew how strong Spike was. Spike had even used his signature move, so Dustin should be dead by now. Why did things turn out like this?What on earth just happened?"He knocked Spike out with a single pun
