Hammo understood that securing Mr. Death’s support could be the key to cementing his position as Venua’s governor.

He had already spent considerable time and resources building political alliances, but the threat from his rivals remained significant.

If he could win over Mr. Death, it would guarantee an indisputable victory—or so he believed.

However, Mr. Death was not someone easily approached. The man was infamous for his secrecy.

No one knew what he looked like or even his real name.

Those who had worked with Mr. Death knew one thing: his power did not stem from public appearances but from his ability to manipulate the world from the shadows.

But the question remained: how could one reach such a man?

And more importantly, what could he offer to earn the support of such a powerful and mysterious figure?

Dom finally broke the silence, snapping Hammo out of his thoughts.

“Perhaps,” Dom said with a faint smile. "But you know, Mr. Death only meets those he deems… valua

    Hammo stood motionless, his anger and confusion blending into one overwhelming sensation. Zander remained calm, his expression unchanging, as though savoring the situation. Hammo replayed Zander’s words in his mind. Could it be true that Zander had taken someone else besides Biella? So, who? A name surfaced in his thoughts: Galio. Hammo immediately felt disbelief. Galio was his youngest brother, someone he deeply relied on to protect their family. Galio was renowned as a martial arts expert, with bodyguards trained to handle any threat. Hammo found it impossible to believe that Zander could take Galio away, let alone without significant resistance. Hamm felt his palms grow damp with sweat. Quickly, he called Tony over and whispered, “Go to Galio’s house in Atome. Check if he’s there. I want a report immediately.” Tony nodded silently and promptly left the room. Hammo refocused on Zander, searching for any subtle sign that might reveal the true meaning behind his words. B

    Dom noticed the expressions of shock and confusion clearly written on Hammo and Darren's faces. He also understood that Zander was not the type of person who liked to be honored in public, especially if it could draw attention to his identity. Dom quickly took action, giving a subtle glance to Governor Darlene, signaling him to clarify his statement and behave normally towards Zander. However, before Governor Darlene could respond, Zander spoke first, as if signaling to Governor Darlene to conceal his identity. "Hi, Governor Darlene. It's been a while since we last met. My father misses you," Zander said. Upon hearing this, Hammo and Darren immediately sighed in relief. They thought it made sense— it was very plausible that Governor Darlene respected Zander because of his long-standing relationship with Zander's father-Joseph Guezz. Governor Darlene, realizing his mistake, immediately understood Zander's intention. He regretted almost revealing Zander's important identity a

    Meanwhile, elsewhere, Voss sat in his dimly lit office, a room filled with shadows and the thick smell of tobacco. He had just received a report from his subordinate, who had returned after conducting a thorough investigation. The report shocked him. It turned out that the person who had caused the chaos at his nursing home, killed Galio's men, and abducted Galio was a 27-year-old young man. Voss shook his head, struggling to believe it. "Is it really a young man who did this? I thought this was the work of my enemies, people around my age, about 50 years old." His subordinate, standing in front of the desk, looked confident in the report he had brought. "We've double-checked, Boss. It's true." "He's a young man, 27 years old, and a former war commander." Voss fell silent for a moment, as if digesting the information. After all, he himself was a retired soldier, a former war commander who had now turned into a traitor to his country. As the years passed, Voss had drifte

    That night, Zander had just arrived at his mansion. Without a word, he headed straight to the guest room specifically prepared for Biella. The room had been modified into a high-tech medical care space. Advanced equipment lined the corners of the room neatly, while small monitors tracked Biella’s every heartbeat and blood flow. The walls were sterile white, carrying the distinct scent of antiseptic. As Zander approached the door to the room, several female servants hurried out. One carried a stack of soft towels used to clean Biella’s body, while another held an empty tray from her meal. One of the servants, a young woman in a black uniform and white apron, bowed politely before reporting. “Mr. Zander, Miss Biella ate heartily today.” Zander gave a slight nod, indicating he had heard. He said nothing and stepped into the room. Inside, the atmosphere was calmer but still charged with vigilance. Two doctors stood near the luxurious bed, which had been modified

    Hammo sat in his chair, his breath heavy, his face flushed with anger. It wasn’t Galio or Biella occupying his mind. What truly terrified him was Voss’s threat. The man was ruthless, merciless, and controlled a criminal network so vast that even Hammo couldn’t fully comprehend its scope. Their relationship, built on a dark blend of love and dominance, made Hammo fear Voss’s wrath more than the loss of anything else. Outside the room, Madam Nousa sat in the living room, a glass of red wine swirling gently in her hand. Since their return from the social event, Madam Nousa had noticed Hammo’s agitation. Her contract husband’s face had been clouded with an unusual fury. That night, she had heard the sound of glass shattering from Hammo’s room, followed by the noise of other objects being thrown. “What is it this time?” she muttered softly. The door to Hammo’s room suddenly opened, and Tony came rushing out. When he saw Madam Nousa, he gave her a brief bow of respect be

    Zander stepped out of the nursing home with a cold expression, followed closely by Jacky, who still looked anxious. They headed straight for the car—a hypercar with a sleek black finish, a modified Bugatti La Voiture Noire. The car was reinforced with lightweight armor and equipped with military-grade security systems. Its sharp LED headlights cast an aura that was both elegant and menacing. Without waiting for Jacky, Zander opened the driver’s side door. “Young Master, I should drive,” Jacky pleaded, standing near the passenger door. “No,” Zander replied curtly as he got into the car. His gaze left no room for argument. Reluctantly, Jacky climbed into the passenger seat, fastening his seatbelt with stiff motions. “But if anything happens—” “Just silence and let me handle it,” Zander interrupted. The engine purred to life, smooth yet powerful, as Zander pressed the gas pedal. They drove out of the nursing home complex at a moderate pace. Zander’s sharp eyes flic

    After firing more than ten shots at the spot where Zander had been standing and smoking, the snipers in the two Hummers finally stopped. The glowing tip of his cigarette was gone, and Zander’s body was nowhere to be seen. The shooters exchanged satisfied glances. “It’s over,” one of them said smugly. “He’s definitely dead!” Maxi, who had been observing the situation closely, broke into a wide grin. “Good. Now get out and finish the job. Let’s cut off his head!” With an air of arrogance, Maxi opened the Hummer door and leapt out, followed by his subordinates. He led them toward the spot where Zander had been standing, his steps filled with confidence. His right hand reached for the sheath at his waist, gripping the large knife he planned to use to decapitate Zander. However, as they approached the spot, one of Maxi’s men shone a flashlight on the area, illuminating the ground in front of Zander’s car. They all froze. “There’s nothing here!” the man exclaimed, his voice

    Suddenly, the headlights of the two Hummers parked behind them went out, and the forest was instantly plunged into darkness. They were startled, exchanging glances, wondering who had turned off the lights of their vehicles. There was no sound of an engine, just the soft rustling of wind among the trees. Maxi furrowed his brow. "Who did that?" he muttered, his voice a mix of confusion and anger. However, he refused to let fear cloud his judgment. "Stay alert!" he ordered firmly, then gave commands to his men. "Point your guns! Shoot Zander the moment you see him!" The men nodded, though fear was starting to grip them. Everyone knew this night could end badly, but retreat was not an option. The thick, suffocating darkness of the forest seemed to swallow them whole. They couldn’t see a thing! Maxi quickly turned on his handheld flashlight, but the light only illuminated a few meters around them. Every moving shadow beyond the light’s reach only intensified the tens

    Biella sat at the end of the long glass table, exuding elegance and charisma. Around her, investors—some from overseas—listened intently to the presentation. Slide after slide displayed Xanta Group’s upcoming plans, which many believed were destined for success. An elderly investor from Pran nodded in approval. “I’ve never seen such a rapid comeback. You’ve truly made us consider a significant capital injection.” Biella offered a diplomatic smile. “We’re not just making a comeback, Mr. Jacques. We’re building a stronger foundation. And this time, we know exactly who stands with us… and who’s merely watching from afar.” *** Meanwhile, at the very top floor of the Xanta Group building, the atmosphere was vastly different. The expansive space resembled a private penthouse more than a conventional office. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls offered a sweeping view of Venua City from one of its most prestigious vantage points. A minimalist bed stood to the left, while a black office

    The skies of Venua were shrouded in gray clouds as the camera panned to a monolithic skyscraper. The FOREÉ GROUP logo gleamed along the side of the building, reflecting their two-decade-long dominance in the fashion industry. At the very top floor, the CEO’s office exuded cold luxury. Black leather furniture, shelves lined with prestigious business awards, and a large abstract painting dominated the back wall. Behind a wide dark marble desk sat Goza, a man in his forties with a cold face and a cruel kind of handsomeness. His suit was impeccably tailored, his hair slicked back to perfection. Standing before him was a slim man in glasses—Oman, his loyal secretary, who often appeared tense in the presence of his boss. “There’s a report from the market analyst,” Oman said, handing over a tablet. “Xanta Group—the company owned by the Xanta family—has just released their first fashion line. And… the market’s response has been rather aggressive.” Goza raised an eyebrow. “Xanta Group?” h

    Once Zander and Biella left the house, the atmosphere in the dining room exploded. Darren, who had been holding back his anger, finally couldn't contain his emotions any longer. With a rough motion, he slammed the empty chair next to him, causing it to tumble violently and crash to the floor. The glasses and plates on the table trembled, some even falling and shattering into pieces. "I've been humiliated in front of everyone!" Darren shouted, his eyes red, his breath heavy. Without waiting any longer, the aunts and their children quickly began leaving the dining room one by one, whispering to each other and lowering their heads in fear. They knew that Darren, in his rage, was not someone who could be confronted with logic. Since childhood, Darren had been known for his terrible temper, and when his anger exploded, no one dared to get close. In the corner of the room stood Austin—a tall man dressed in a black suit, a shadowy figure known as the head of security for the Xanta

  • 0083-Let's Go

    In Biella's bedroom, the atmosphere felt quiet, yet peaceful. Zander was still lying on the long sofa in the corner of the room. He had slept there last night, as per Biella's request. Although they were now officially married, he respected the boundaries set by Biella and maintained them with honor. Meanwhile, Biella sat in front of her vanity mirror. She wore an elegant cream office suit that highlighted her professional aura. Her fingers were busy adjusting the small earrings hanging from her ears. Her movements were calm, yet slightly nervous—as if aware of someone’s gaze. Zander watched Biella without blinking. There was no wild desire in his eyes, only admiration that was hard to hide. It was as though, despite sharing the same room, he still couldn't believe that the woman before him was now his wife. Biella slowly turned toward him and caught his gaze. She smiled slightly, shyly. "Why are you staring at me like that? Is something wrong?" Zander gently shook his head,

  • 0082-The Next Morning

    The next morning, the main Xanta family residence still bore traces of the lavish wedding celebration from the night before. Yet beneath the shimmer of crystal chandeliers and the rich red carpet that had yet to be rolled away, the morning air was far from joyous. Downstairs, the family dining room gradually filled with members of the Xanta clan. The long table was lined with a complete breakfast spread, but not a single person was truly eating. A tense atmosphere hung thick—like a dark cloud hovering above their heads. Aunt Wulan, known as one of the most outspoken and sharp-tongued women in the family, set her spoon down with an audible clink. She looked across the table at Madam Nousa, who sat at the head with an unreadable expression, and broke the silence. “This is utterly disappointing,” she said sharply. “The senior relatives from the eastern are asking why no one stepped in to stop that marriage. As if we’ve all forgotten—our family has been in conflict with the Guezz

  • 0081-To Protect Her

    Zander remained calm as he stood beside Biella, but his eyes sharpened—piercing toward Jacky, who stood a few steps beside Joseph. That cold stare was impossible to misinterpret. Quietly, Zander deeply disliked this surprise. Jacky lowered his head, unable to meet Zander’s gaze. He knew exactly where his loyalty lay. Zander might be his boss now—a man he respected with all his soul—but Joseph Guezz? That was someone even the nation bowed to. Joseph wasn’t just a superior. He was the master. Whatever Joseph ordered, Jacky would obey—even if it meant going against Zander. Biella noticed the subtle tension. She gently squeezed Zander’s arm, silently urging him to stay composed. Then, from the far end of the hall, Madam Nousa rose. Her gown rustled softly as she stepped forward. A thin smile curved her lips, but her tone remained formal and diplomatic. “Thank you for being here tonight, Mr. Joseph Guezz,” Madam Nousa said calmly. “On behalf of my husband, Hammo Xanta—who is currently

    Previously, at Biella’s request, she had insisted the wedding remain private. She didn’t want any reporters present, not because she was ashamed, but because she didn’t want the event to cause a social media stir that could potentially harm the Xanta Corporation’s stock value. But now, thanks to her mother’s own actions, the press had arrived. Maya, Biella’s new assistant, approached her with a tablet in hand, reporting the situation. “Young Miss, the news is already spreading on social media.” “What’s the worst headline?” Biella asked. “A damaging narrative has emerged, Miss. One article reads, ‘Biella Xanta Marries Former War Commander—Not a Businessman. Is This a Bad Omen?’ And there are others, painting Mr. Zander in a very poor light in the public’s eyes.” “What else?” Biella pressed. “Some media outlets are reporting, ‘Zander Rhett—Former War Commander Turned Janitor at a Media Company—Is Now Married to Biella Xanta.’” Biella felt a wave of anxiety rising within her. “T

    Jacky nodded silently. He knew Joseph’s order wasn’t just for protection. It was a warning. If anyone dared to lay a finger on Zander, Joseph would make sure they didn’t live long enough to regret it. But Jacky froze in his tracks when Joseph spoke again, this time in a sharper tone. “And make sure Zander doesn’t know.” The atmosphere in the room instantly turned colder. Jacky turned slightly, confused. “But, Sir—” “He’ll stop us if he finds out,” Joseph cut in, still facing the portrait of his late wife. “My son is too naive. He thinks I should sit quietly, enjoy my old age, and let the world play games with him. But I’m not the kind of man who stays still when my family is in danger.” Jacky simply nodded in obedience. There was no need to say more. Joseph’s word was absolute. “I heard the girl still has amnesia,” Joseph added, his gaze never once shifting toward Jacky. Jacky nodded. “Yes, Sir.

    Madam Nousa held back her anger, her lips pressing into a tight line as Zander calmly responded to her question. She didn't have the chance to reply because, suddenly, Biella approached them with a curious expression. "Mom, Zander, are you talking about my wedding?" she asked cheerfully. Madam Nousa hadn't even opened her mouth yet, but Zander quickly answered, "Yes, of course. Your mom wants to be involved in our wedding. She wants to order lots of cakes and invite her friends to our wedding." His words flowed casually, but his sharp gaze was fixed on Madam Nousa. Biella looked surprised for a moment, but then her face lit up. Even though she tried to hide her excitement, the sparkle of happiness in her eyes was unmistakable. She turned to her mother and, with a faint smile, asked, "Is that true, Mom?" Madam Nousa wanted to deny it. She wanted to outright reject this wedding, to say that Zander was not worthy of being her son-in-law. However, her heart sank when she saw Biella’s
