Antonio closed his work the moment he heard what Verlaine said. “So he's starting to move, huh?” he said, smiling but holding back annoyance. “As I heard from my spies there, Axielo Grande used Victor Leighton's identity to get permission to meet with Miguel Anderson. He also used a disguise like Victor and met Miguel this morning.” “A professional trick… but like carelessness. Did he do it on purpose to let me know?”“He has no fear.” “He should be like that, Verlaine. To be able to survive in a vast jungle full of wild animals, You have to be brave and fiercer than the animals that can eat you, even though you are just a rabbit." Verlaine listened to his father's advice obediently. Until Antonio linked his fingers and said, “But the laws of nature will remain unchanged, predators will remain predators, and prey will remain food for predators. Verlaine, we were born different from the losers out there. We were born to be predators, we were born to occupy the highest position on t
Victor brooded in his office, looking out at the city night's view from the glass walls of his spacious and luxurious office. He thought about Dylan and the little spat that was going on, making their relationship cold and never like this before. Victor understood that everything Dylan had told him was because Dylan was still feeling chaotic and emotionally unstable after Rihana's sudden and unforeseen death. Victor also didn't understand why James Barney, who was originally very calm as if he didn't care about Rihana's life, became very aggressive and killed his own daughter. But after learning who orchestrated all of this, Victor could do nothing else but strengthen his resolve to take revenge immediately. "Interfering with my life wasn't enough for him, and now he's interfering with my friend's life... really sneaky," Victor said, sharply staring out the glass wall and not realizing that Xiel was already behind his chair. Victor was slightly startled when he noticed Xiel from
"What is your plan?" Xiel pulled something out of his leather jacket, threw some thick paper on the table and showed some photos of a young girl. "Who is she?" Victor asked. "Miguel Anderson's youngest child, Tifanny Anderson. She's 15 years old this year and will be entering the best girls leadership school in Denver."Victor looked at the photos and let Xiel smoke next to him."Where did you get all these photos? Are you stalking a minor like a pedophile?""Watch your mouth. My mom could back from the death and slap you with that unruly mouth of yours!""Wouldn't you be happy if she lived again?"Xiel sighed. Pocketing one hand while the other one he used to smoking."I want you to make me one of the teachers at that school.""What?" Victor was a little surprised by Xiel's words."An intern teacher is fine too. No, becoming an intern teacher is the best choice. I want to approach that little girl to threaten her father.""So you're going to pretend to be her personal bodyguard to
As Victor requested before, Xiel taught him how to fight. Just as Victor had imagined, learning how to fight was not something he would easily master. When Victor felt the difficulty of attacking even though the one he was fighting was a puppet, it felt like the system's words that calling him a martial arts god were nonsense. "I know it's just motivation, but this is really hard. Damn it!" Xiel asked Victor to try with him; Victor only needed to hit Xiel once but somehow it all seemed like the level difference between them was vast. Although Xiel said he was still much weaker in fighting when compared to Rodhe, but to Victor, Xiel was already in untouchable god mode! "Damn, are you a god? Why is it so hard to touch you?" Victor protested, but he still tried to touch Xiel even though his punches were easy for Xiel to dodge. Even when Victor thought his hard punch was going to touch Xiel, the man easily blocked it and punched Victor's hand causing him pain. "Argh... fuck," Victo
Victor returned to his apartment in the morning. Overzealous about training his body, he is exhausted and falls asleep in the gym until morning. When he returned, he saw Violet on her way to work. They stopped and stared at each other for a few seconds, before Violet deliberately avoided Victor's gaze and rushed the other way. But she accidentally bumped into someone, sending the man's groceries scattering across the lobby floor. "Oh, shit," the man said, swearing at Violet who hurriedly gathered the man's groceries into her grocery bag and was surprised when she returned it. Violet looked at Vasco who was staring at her coldly and irritably. "Are you fucking blind?" asked Vasco. Violet just looked down. "Sorry, I was in a hurry." Vasco had just returned from buying groceries, he didn't expect his peaceful morning to be a bit of a mess because Violet had accidentally bumped into him and scattered his groceries. Although there was no significant loss and Violet had apologized,
Violet has a little trouble helping Victor back to his apartment, the man having lost a lot of energy after being beaten up by Vasco Leighton.After accepting the deal, they fought. But Victor was still too young to beat Vasco, who was more experienced in fighting than he was."I don't know how much you love Violet to protect her this much, but you better prove you're strong enough before you think of beating me. Victor, a loser is a loser."That's what Vasco said, as Victor lay on the floor with his foot on Victor's head.Victor had taken another humiliating defeat today, but Violet didn't say anything until she put Victor on the couch and went to find the first aid kit.Violet didn't say much and went straight to helping Victor clean his wound."Ouch," Victor winced occasionally, but Violet remained silent and seemed reluctant to speak to him."Say something," Victor said, making Violet stop to look at him. "Say something.""What do you want me to say?""Anything. You saw me lose wh
"An invitation to Giselle Leighton's birthday party?" Victor was surprised when his assistant, Ella, told him that. "Yes, sir. Antonio Leighton has officially sent an invitation for you to attend Giselle Leighton's birthday party, which is will be held in three days." "If he officially sent thus, that means he invited me as the owner of Vyctrous." Victor looked at the invitation directly to make sure, but then he laughed when he realized what he had said. "Haha, who did I expect to be invited as?" After that he returned to silence, thinking about his decision. "I don't know what kind of humiliation they'll prepare for me, I don't think this party will end good for me," Victor said, then handed the invitation back to Ella. "Give him a reply if I'm not coming." "Yes, sir," Ella replied obediently. "By the way, isn't it break time? Why are you still in the office and not going out for lunch?" "I will come out, sir, but I will extend the other invitations to Miss Vania, Miss Viole
In a class at a girls' school in Denver. A female teacher came in and stopped the slight commotion with a clap of her hand. Clap! "Good morning, ladies, I have an important announcement for you." A child with straight black hair, wearing a small headband to keep her bangs neat, looked at her teacher after just bowing her head. "I received news that your homeroom teacher, Mrs. McRay, will be taking a few months off to prepare for the birth of her first child. So the principal gave me the task of delivering good news; You guys have a temporary homeroom teacher.” “Ooh, I hope it's not you, Mrs. Smith, you're no fun.” “Alicia, that's rude.” The student with wavy blonde hair named Alicia just laughed a little, not feeling guilty because her teacher didn't scold her either. "Anyways, welcome your new teacher and be nice while he takes care of you later.""He?" "Please come in, Mr. Addams." Axielo confidently entered the room; wear a neat suit and polish his appearance to look like
