Ben emerged first, handing his keys to the valet before helping Vivian out with an exaggerated flourish. The moment she stepped onto the pavement, her designer heels clicking against marble, her eyes narrowed at Louis's figure."Oh my god, Ben, look who's here!" Vivian's voice dripped with theatrical disgust."The stalker himself!"Ben's arm wrapped possessively around her waist. "What a coincidence. Again.""Coincidence?" Vivian threw her head back with an exaggerated laugh. “No, Ben, you’re wrong. He’s definitely stalking me!”"First my brother, now me?” “You just can't help yourself, can you, Louis?"“Do you know how the word SHAMELESS spells?!”Louis shifted his takeout bag, his expression unchanging. “Which eye did you see me stalking you with?”“Can you stop being narcissistic?”Vivian glared at Louis with anger.“Oh, I see. You have the guts to do it, but not to admit it, right?”Louis glanced back at her indifferently, his expression cold."Believe what you want. I'm he

The lobby fell silent for a moment before Vivian burst into hysterical laughter, clutching Ben's arm for support.Her laughter echoed off the marble walls, drawing curious glances from other guests."Did you hear that, baby?" she wheezed between laughs. "He says he booked Lavish Oasis! The private suite reserved for Terminator X only!"Ben's lips curled into a smirk. "Maybe the delivery job comes with hallucinations.""You really are pathetic," Vivian wiped tears of mirth from her eyes, careful not to smudge her makeup. "First stalking me, now lying about booking Terminator X's private suite? Have you completely lost it?"“Why don’t you wee and check your reflection carefully? Do you think you can even afford the Lavish Oasis??”Vivian was enraged by Louis’s shamelessness and pretentiousness.Did Louis think she was a fool that would easily fall for his tricks?!Louis checked his watch, his face emotionless. "Whether I can afford it or not, is none of your business.""Fuck you, de

"The delusion is strong with this one," Ben smirked."Why would Terminator X tell YOU anything?" Vivian's voice rose with vicious glee. "You're nothing but a wannabe rich guy delivering takeout! God, this is pathetic even for you, Louis!"Louis remained silent, his mind drifting briefly to memories of Neckor Island.The pristine beaches, the exclusive villas, the private meetings..."What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" Vivian preened, mistaking his silence for defeat. "Well, let me tell you something special again - my wedding will be held at Neckor Island. Yes, at the most prestigious wedding venue in the world!""And guess what?"She continued, practically bouncing with satisfaction."Terminator X will personally give us their blessing. That's right - while you're here making up stories about private suites, I'll be receiving a wedding gift from the wealthiest person in the world!"Louis's face remained impassive, which only fueled Vivian's aggressive triumph.Her eyes glittered

Louis exhaled deeply as Vivian and Ben's voices finally faded.He reached for his phone as it buzzed. The screen lit up with "Terminator X" calling."Hello?"“I hope I’m not interrupting your evening, Sir.”Louis raised an eyebrow, slightly amused. “Not at all. In fact, I was about to call you myself. I heard you’ll be on Neckor Island next week. I’m guessing it was meant to be a surprise?”There was a pause on the other end, followed by an awkward chuckle. “Indeed, Sir, you’re always one step ahead.” “I was planning a grand welcome, but now ... I suspect you’d rather I kept things simple?”“Spot on,” Louis replied with a slight smile. “I appreciate the gesture, but a low-key meeting is more my style.”“Consider it done, Sir.” Terminator X said respectfully.“And one more thing, Sir. Your ex-wife’s fiance had booked a wedding on Neckor Island a week later. Should I cancel it as a little ‘lesson’? It’d be no trouble at all.”“No need.”Louis shook his head. He didn’t want to was

“Haha, maybe we have met when we were kids and forgot all about it!”“You're so funny! Seriously though, talking to you feels so... familiar. Safe, somehow.”He smiled sadly at her words, wishing he could tell her everything – how she'd saved his life, how he'd carried that gratitude all these years.“That's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me.”“You bring out the honest side in me. I can't explain it, but I'm so glad we're friends.”“Me too, Juliet.”As he typed those words, Louis made a silent promise to himself. He'd find a way to repay her kindness, even if she never knew the full story. Sometimes, he reflected, the best way to honor the past was to protect the present.The morning sun glinted off Necker Island's pristine dock as luxury yachts bobbed gently in the crystal-clear waters. Louis adjusted his casual linen shirt, taking in the extravagant wedding decorations that transformed the already stunning venue into something magical."Well, well, well. Look what

However, Victoria stepped closer, her voice venomous. "Listen here, you worthless—""No, you listen," Louis interrupted calmly without stopping or looking backward. "Enjoy your standing here making assumptions and learn to shut up.” “Even better, why don't you watch and learn how a real entrance is made?"Jackson laughed mockingly. "Oh, this I've got to see. The great Louis about to be humiliated!"Watching Louis’s receding figure, Jackson couldn’t help but laughed out loud.Without an invitation, Louis would surely be humiliated.And he couldn’t wait to see that good show."Watch this circus show. He's about to get the humiliation he deserves." Victoria whispered.Her red lips curling into a cruel smile. Meanwhile, Louis continued walking, his steps measured and sure.Approached the checkpoint, Louis could feel the blatantly malicious gaze, but he remained unmoved.Twelve armed sentinels stood at attention, their black uniforms and reflective sunglasses creating an imposing ba

Hanging up the phone, Louis walked along the island’s unique scenic path, following the iconic crytal-stone path.Everything was just like before, which made Louis feel as if he had returned to the past.Before he knew it, Louis had already passed through the tropical gardens.Soon, the path wound through tropical gardens until the wedding venue appeared – a masterpiece of crystal and precious gems catching the sunlight in rainbow prisms."And now, ..." Just then, the officiant's voice carried through the structure."By the words of God and the witnesses, I now pronounce the groom, Ben Gutsby, and the bride, Vivian Howard, as husband and wife. You may kiss...”Outside the transparent wedding chapel made of crystal and gems, Louis heard Vivian’s name and glanced in that direction.There, he saw Vivian in her bridal gown, her makeup heavy, her smile broad.However, Louis’s gaze didn’t linger on her for the least bit.Instead, his gaze shifted to Juliet, who stood not far away, wearing

How could the gentle, supportive Louis be the same person Vivian called 'the biggest mistake of her life'?"What's your plan this time?" Vivian demanded. angrily "Try to win me back? Make some dramatic scene? Beg for another chance like the desperate dog you are?""He's probably hoping to get his picture in the society pages," Jackson called from the back. "Still trying to climb that social ladder!""You disgust me," Vivian continued, her voice echoing off the crystal walls."Mom was right about everything – you're nothing but a calculated fraud who fooled me once. Never again!"The guests shifted uncomfortably, some already posting to social media, others recording the confrontation with barely concealed excitement.Juliet felt her world tilting sideways. The Louis who defended my family's honor... is the same man they're calling a social-climbing fraud?How could that be?Something must be wrong, right?"Security!" Vivian screamed again. "Get this piece of garbage out of my si

Louis had faced elite fighters before. Killers. Assassins. But this? This was something else entirely.Ghost wasn’t just fast—he was impossibly precise. His body reacted before his mind did, his movements so fluid that they seemed preordained, as if his reflexes had been ripped straight from a simulation.Louis barely managed to block the first attack.Ghost’s knee shot toward his ribs—Louis twisted at the last second, but not fast enough. The impact sent a shockwave of pain rattling through his torso. It felt like getting kicked by a steel piston.Fuck.Louis stumbled but caught himself. He couldn’t afford mistakes. Not now.Ghost was already coming for the next strike—left hook, low feint, upward jab. It was too fast, but Louis had spent a lifetime learning how to adapt.He wasn’t the strongest. He wasn’t the fastest. But he was the smartest.He tilted his body just slightly, forcing Ghost’s jab to barely graze his chin rather than snap his neck. A controlled miss.Ghost adjusted in
CHAPTER 273
Louis twisted at the last moment, catching Ghost’s wrist and driving his elbow into his ribs. A direct hit.Ghost staggered.Louis didn’t hesitate. He drove forward, tackling Ghost onto the next container.They hit hard.Ghost’s knife skidded away, and for the first time, Louis saw the assassin’s breathing falter.He had the upper hand.Finally.Then Ghost did something Louis hadn’t expected.He smiled.It wasn’t an arrogant smirk, wasn’t an expression of frustration. It was pure amusement.Louis’s grip tightened. “What’s so funny?”Ghost reached into his tactical belt, pulling out a small injector filled with a shimmering liquid.Louis recognized the formula immediately.His stomach dropped.Combat stimulants. Experimental. Banned.Unstable.Louis had heard rumors about them—a drug designed to enhance speed, reflexes, and endurance beyond human limits. But there was a cost. The body burned too hot. The mind unraveled. It was a gamble—an all-or-nothing bet.And Ghost was willing to ta
CHAPTER 272
The gunshot cracked through the night.Louis dove sideways, twisting mid-air as the bullet grazed past his ribs, a searing line of fire blooming across his skin. He hit the ground hard, rolling behind a steel crate just as another silenced round slammed into the container’s edge. Sparks flew.Ghost was fast. Too fast.Adrenaline pumped through Louis’s veins, but his mind stayed sharp, calculating. His body was trained for this, conditioned for survival in the face of death. But this wasn’t just an assassin—this was something else.No wasted movement. No hesitation. No fear.Pearl had already vanished into the shadows, her natural hunting instincts kicking in. If she could get an angle, they might stand a chance. But Louis knew this fight was his.He pressed his back against the cold metal, listening. The world shrank to sounds—his own breathing, the distant crash of waves against the dock, the steady rhythm of footsteps.Ghost wasn’t running. He was walking. Hunting.Louis’s fingers g
CHAPTER 271
Silence settled over the room as the weight of her words sank in.Ghost.The man who had walked into Louis’s penthouse undetected. The assassin who left no traces except for the bullet with his name on it.Louis’s jaw tightened. “If we’re going to take him down, we need to make sure he has nowhere to run.”Pearl’s expression was unreadable. “That’s assuming we can catch him.”If they were going to fight a phantom, they had to become the hunters.The plan was simple, but lethal.Juliet had leaked false intel through one of their suspected spies—word of a major arms shipment arriving at the docks, a supply line Louis allegedly couldn’t afford to lose. The bait was perfect. Silas wouldn’t risk ignoring it, and that meant Ghost would be there.The docks were a battlefield waiting to happen.Louis adjusted his tactical vest as they stepped out of the armored SUV. The night air was crisp, laced with the scent of salt and gasoline. The docks stretched before them, bathed in the glow of flick
CHAPTER 270
She placed a thick folder on the table and slid it toward them. Malik hesitated before opening it, his brows furrowing as he flipped through the pages.Documents. Shipments. Evidence of Silas bleeding them dry behind their backs.Juliet spoke for the first time, her voice cool.“Silas doesn’t see you as allies. He sees you as pawns. And pawns get sacrificed.”Malik’s hand tightened into a fist. He had lost men recently. Too many. And now, the proof sat right in front of him.Vincent muttered a curse, shaking his head.“If we do this, there’s no going back.”Louis finally leaned forward, meeting their gazes head-on.“There’s no ‘if.’ You’re already in a war. The only question is whether you want to win.”Silence.Then, Malik closed the folder and exhaled. “Fine.” He met Louis’s gaze. “We’re in.”A flicker of triumph crossed Pearl’s face, but she masked it quickly. One down. More to go.An hour later, the deal was set. Louis had gained new allies, and The Obsidian Ring had lost its grip
CHAPTER 269
The air inside The Crimson Vault was thick with tension, the kind that settled into the bones of men who had spent their lives gambling with fate.The underground club had always been a neutral ground—once a place where deals were made over whiskey and blood debts were negotiated in the dark corners.But tonight, it was the birthplace of a rebellion.Louis sat at the center of the long, steel table, his presence an unspoken challenge to the men around him.Gang leaders, crime bosses, and mercenaries—every one of them had thrived under Silas’s rule, and every one of them had suffered for it.The cracks were already showing in The Obsidian Ring’s control, and Louis was here to pry them wide open.His fingers tapped lightly against the surface of the table, deliberate, slow.He didn’t need to rush this. Men like these didn’t respect rushed words.They respected dominance.They respected the man who could sit in a room full of killers and still control the tempo.Pearl sat to his right, e
CHAPTER 268
The dim glow of multiple screens cast eerie reflections on Juliet’s face as she scrolled through an endless sea of encrypted files. The more she uncovered, the tighter the knot in her stomach became. This wasn’t just another hired gun. This was something else entirely.Silas Vance wasn’t just controlling Apple City. He had a weapon.And that weapon had a name.Ghost.A whisper in the underground. A myth even among the most feared assassins. No real identity. No past. No recorded failures. An operative so precise, so calculated, that his kills seemed almost preordained.Juliet exhaled sharply, feeling the weight of the revelation press against her ribs. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard as she hesitated, knowing this information would change everything.She tapped her earpiece. “Louis. We have a problem.”Louis stood by the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse, whiskey swirling in his glass. Below, Apple City pulsed with neon and power—a city that had always belonged t
CHAPTER 267
The grand ballroom of The Sterling Manor was a spectacle of wealth and power, a dazzling display of Apple City’s elite. The chandeliers hung like frozen constellations above them, casting golden reflections over the polished marble floors. The scent of expensive perfume, aged whiskey, and quiet arrogance filled the air, mingling with the subtle tension that always accompanied gatherings of this magnitude.This was more than a charity gala. It was a declaration. A silent war where alliances were forged with smiles and knives were hidden behind tailored suits.At the heart of the room stood Silas Vance, a king on his throne. He didn’t need to make introductions; his presence alone commanded the room. His smirk was as sharp as the silver cufflinks on his wrists, his confidence exuding the knowledge that, tonight, he was in control.But that was about to change.The murmurs of conversation dipped as Louis Kindsor entered.He was a storm wrapped in midnight silk, his tailored suit fitting
CHAPTER 266
The dimly lit warehouse smelled of oil and dust, the silence pressing down like a weight. The only sound was the slow, measured pacing of Louis Kindsor, his footsteps echoing against the concrete floor.In the center of the room, Terminator X stood, his hands restrained behind his back, his expression unreadable. A single, overhead bulb cast jagged shadows across his face, making him look both dangerous and desperate.Louis held a gun, its barrel pointed lazily at the ground. But the message was clear—one wrong answer, and this conversation would end with a bullet.Pearl leaned against the far wall, arms crossed, her anger barely contained. Juliet stood a few steps away, arms tight around her tablet, her expression wary but composed.Louis finally stopped pacing. “Start talking.”Terminator X exhaled, his shoulders sagging slightly. “I didn’t have a choice.”Pearl let out a sharp laugh. “That’s rich. You betrayed us, and now you’re playing the victim?”Louis didn’t take his eyes off T
