“It is not unusual for Lorenzo to face problems like this. He is, after all, a jeweler who works with diamonds. He should have been prepared for this,”

“I do not think it is so simple. That is why he said he would come back to handle it himself. I am curious which Mafia clan will attempt to ambush his goods,”

Aleric frowned as he tried but failed to understand the situation.

“There is no Mafia group that would dare to challenge your father. Despite years of failure, only one Mafia clan remains steadfast in its determination to defeat him. Maybe he took advantage of the situation to get on your father's nerves,” Adams suggested as he strutted back to his chair.

“Tsk! Cowards. If he is confident enough, why hide behind a mask? He calls himself Jaguar, but he acts like a chick. Even I am much more courageous than he is. He wears masks and commits crimes without accepting responsibility; he must be a scaredy cat!” Aleric scoffed and returned to his seat on the CEO's chair.

    Adams clicked his tongue as he drove. He had personally driven over to the Imperial Royal Sbarra without bringing Aiden, Raphael, or Aleric along. He blinked and continued to drive, the scene from the bar, replaying in his head. **** “You’ve stated what you want, What do I stand to benefit?" Adams paused for a moment and then he asked, “What do you want?" "What do I want? Is it that unclear? Hah, I want money, power, and influence. That way, no one will stand a chance to abuse me again.” "You don't get any of those things you've just mentioned. You earn it with hard work, commitment, and dedication.” Adams deadpanned, looking unsurprised by her demands. “You asked what I wanted and I only just stated it. Is it too much to ask for in return for the huge task Young Master Adams wants me to accomplish.” Ashley Woods probed, a little reluctant to accept that he was right. “You'll have to work and earn whatever you want. I shall open the way for you to achieve your dreams in a way t

    Disclaimer: This chapter features Evans and Ashley.“You've always asked me what I saw in him right? What got me attracted to him in the first place, and why despite everything you do to harm him, you always end up not getting the perfect result you anticipate. Well here, today, I'll give you an answer. It is because you are incomparable to him. Standing next to him, you're just a mere clown!”Ashley Woods' voice was a harsh yet loud tone as she completed her words. She grinned and then spat on his face. Suddenly the door pushed open and then came the flashes of cameras before Evans George could retaliate.The room was suddenly filled with bright flashes as several photographers burst into the office, capturing the scene of Evans George choking Ashley Woods. Startled, Evans released his grip on her throat and stumbled back. Ashley gasped for air, coughing and trying to regain her composure. One of the photographers stepped forward, holding up his camera.

    “Tell us, did you or did you not put Miss Woods in this condition? She was such a wonderful secretary who has represented G Corporation globally. How could you have beat her to the point she's now a vegetable?"Evans stared at the bloody face of Ashley Woods. His body trembled in rage. She's the cause of it. He screamed in his mind. She sided with Adams and that is the punishment.He looked at the table where several resignation letters from his tech team employees were placed and his anger escalatedThinking about how difficult it was for G Corporation to pouch these people and hire them to work for their company over the past few years, Evans George felt his actions were justified.Tsk! She deserves to die! There were now less than ten staff left in the G Corporation tech team. He wasn't certain if those members had already drafted their letters or not. Will they be willing to work for them? He wasn't sure.This will soon become headlines. Why isn't she dead yet? She had approved o

In this mode, you will possess even greater power and influence, allowing you to assert your dominance and seek justice against those who have wronged you."A City First Hospital, room 1210.Ashley Woods lay on the bed. Her back rested against the headboard and her beautiful face had a pleasant smile plastered on it."So?" She raised an eyebrow, "I met up with the time right? I still get the chance to be hired by you since I've now been fired by my ex-boss." She asked, still squinting her eyes at Adams."How was my performance? I'm not that good at acting but I did try my best. Rate it..."Adams stared at the lady who was ranting non-stop despite having black eyes, a red face, and a bandaged head. He didn't expect her to use herself as bait and provoke Evans to the point where he'd abused her to this extent. However, he was extremely pleased by the outcome. "Adams!!" Ashley Wo

    Two Weeks Later.“Chairman George, The board meeting will be held in an hour. Young Master George needs to be present to defend his actions. Do you think he'll be able to make it out in time?”One of the George Family's most trusted workers asked. Hendrix George who was dressed in a black undershirt, black brogues, and a black suit clicked his tongue as he made his way to the luxurious Limousine that was parked right in front of him.“Don't worry about your Young Master, he'll be fine. Meanwhile, keep an eye out for that little bitch upstairs,”“Yes, Master!”The servant bowed. Hendrix George nodded. He boarded the Limousine. Staring at the worker from the wind-down window, he made an eye gesture that only they understood and the latter bowed. Smiling, the car soon drove off, leaving the exhaust of smoke.“Young Master George always gets himself into trouble. Sigh! What else can I do other than clean up his mess?”He sighed.

    “It's done!” Aiden reported. He stood a few steps away from where Adams was working out. Adams put down the weight lift. He turned to Aiden, Perplexed, he asked, “What's done?”Aiden stared at his young Master. Unhappiness is evident in his expression. “What do you mean? Didn't you order me to infiltrate the George Family's Mansion?”“Oh, that!?” Adams soon realized what Aiden meant. He expressionlessly rolled his eyes. Sitting on the floor of the gym room, he sighed.“It feels weird!”“Why am I even after that douchebag Evans? Isn't it a good thing that he took care of Samantha, saving so many problems?”“Oh, yeah, he did! But it didn't change the fact that he had almost ruined your life. I mean right from college, he's always been after you. Besides, isn't it the same Ex-fiancee that has been insisting on booking an appointment with you? Tsk! Such a shameless golddigger,”Aiden wasn't feeling remorseful at all. His gaze remained on his Master. He was wondering why his Master was thi

There could be only one of them in reign in 'A City. It's either him or Evans Adams turned around, holding his phone. He looked up from his phone and gazed at Evans. His brows furrowed."Hey, are you alright?" He asked. Adams noticed Aiden was blinking unusually. His head kept moving sideways like a system robot, encountering some glitches."Oh, boy! You say you don't need my help? Why are you dancing so weirdly?" Adams couldn't help but laugh as he asked. Staring at Aiden whose hands were now on his waist as his body moved back and forth, he didn't understand what was going on with him."Ah!

    Lorenzo looked at the map on the screen, studying the layout of Sector 4. The anomaly was located in the heart of the sector, surrounded by a maze of dark corridors and narrow pathways.“Time to get moving,” Lorenzo muttered. He set off towards the anomaly, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors. The air was thick with an eerie silence, and Lorenzo's skin crawled with every step.As he walked, the darkness seemed to grow thicker, like a living entity wrapping itself around him. Lorenzo's heart pounded in his chest, but he refused to back down. It's either KILL or BE KILLED.Suddenly, the lights flickered and died, plunging the corridor into total darkness. Lorenzo froze. His senses were high on alert.“System, what's going on?” he whispered, his voice barely audible. But he got no response.

    A Series of zeros and one danced on a huge screen in front of him. The numbers began merging, forming circles and triangles. Lorenzo saw the wall and the floor reflecting the same thing that was showing on the huge screen in front of him. He was amazed and dumbfounded. His eyes were wide open in disbelief. The circles merged into rings, and the triangles positioned themselves around the circles, forming a strange symbol. Blue light emanated from the screen, the walls, and the floor. [Welcome to the system, Lorenzo Jamie] A metallic and robotic-sounding words reverberated in his mind, prompting him to look around the place. ‘What the hell am I doing here?’ Lorenzo wondered as he stared at the place. The last thing he recalled was making a deal with the rich man in Province Y, who had asked for him to create a custom red diamond jewelry set for his wife as a gift for another wedding anniversary. How did he end up here wearing a ridiculous outfit? Where is this place? His dream!? L

    While at Erica's house, she was still bewildered by her discovery. She heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Adams successfully clear off the threat.Bianca soon arrived from the kitchen with a platter of fruit. She dropped it on the table and then bent to peek at Erica's game.“Funny! Aren't you getting too obsessed with handsome guys!?” she chuckled as she stood still and then strided to the bed.“Who gets tired of seeing handsome faces?” Erica sarcastically responded without taking her gaze off the screen.She leaned back in her chair, a triumphant grin still plastered on her face. But her joy was short-lived.The game's interface began to distort, pixels scrambling like frantic insects. Erica's brow furrowed in concern.“What the...?

    As the entity closed in, Adams raised his shield, bracing for impact. The creature's limbs clashed against the shield, sending shockwaves through Adams' arms.[Shield integrity at 70%]“Who are you?” Adams shouted, trying to distract the entity.[Insufficient data. Recommendation: Focus on combat.]The entity retaliated with a barrage of swift strikes, each one chipping away at the shield's integrity. Adams stumbled backwards, desperate to create distance.[Proximity alert: beetles regrouping.]The beetles, sensing Adams' weakness, began to close in once more. Adams found himself sandwiched between two formidable foes.[Recommendation: Utilize Power-up Spray to enhance combat capabilities.]Adams hesitated, unsure if the Power-up Spray would be enough to turn the tide.

    Adams stands tall, clad in a sleek and futuristic suit of armour. The armour is a polished silver colour with intricate circuitry patterns etched into the surface, giving it a high-tech appearance. The helmet's visor is tinted with a subtle blue hue, and the overall design exudes a sense of advanced technology and sophistication.The armour appears to be tailored to Adams' physique, accentuating his muscular build while also providing a sense of fluid mobility. The shoulder pads are adorned with small, glowing blue accents that pulse with soft, rhythmic light, indicating the armour's power source.On the chest plate, the word “Adams" was emblazoned in bold, metallic letters, serving as a symbol of Adams' status within the system. The armour's design seems to blend seamlessly with the digital environment, making Adams appear like a formidable, high-tech warrior ready to take on any challenge the system may present.Adams' eyes snapped open, and he found himself standing in a digital r

    They were led by men holding bulletproof shields followed by the others who wielded a variety of weapons. Helicopters whirred in the air just as the entire warehouse was surrounded by cars, more armed men climbing out of it. The car headlights from outside had filtered inside the warehouse, as well as the helicopter light through the window on the roof. The sudden blast of light forced her to cover her eyes. Despite the chaotic sound of hundreds of footsteps coming from all directions, one pair of footsteps stood out in particular. This one was heavier than the others. She felt his overwhelming and authoritative presence before she saw his face. She felt her heart drum in anticipation of the familiar aura that was stalking closer and closer to her. She removed her hand and her heart skipped a beat when she saw him. Walking in his full glory, with long legs that seemed to stretch for miles, his suit jacket blowing in the wind, and hair swept to the side, was the man she had

    "Mercy? What kind?" She pretended to ponder over the idea when in reality, her eyes were scanning the men advancing towards her.Just then, she realized the weird stance they were in and the expression they were trying to hide. Although it was barely noticeable, she saw some of the men's eyes flicker between her and the boxes that surrounded her.Was that why they were so wary? In the corner of her eye, she deduced that the lids on the crates were only placed haphazardly and that from where she was standing, she could easily reach out to get the contents."I'll have less of my men share you." While he answered her, he gestured to his men to spread out and approach her from all sides. Capturing a woman was usually easy, but this woman was unpredictable and slippery."Really? That's the best you got?" She asked and suddenly placed her hand into the crate.He panicked upon seeing that and screamed, "Grab her!"He was not aware whether she knew how to use a gun, but those crates were de

    Erica concentrated on her environment.Only a handful of people knew that she had combat training and the circumstances of how she got it. None of those people would let this fact leak, and she was confident that whoever had planned on having her beaten into submission was not aware of that.Part of that training was being taught how to detect the presence around her. She counted at least 20 pairs of unique footsteps walking out of the room she was in.Their steps were generally heavier than the leader's and she knew that the burly ones were all used to straightforward beating, unlike the leader's more creative and brutal ways of torture.She faintly remembered that there were at least 30 men who had entered the warehouse which meant that around 10 people had been left behind to guard her.Peeling her eyes open by the tiniest crack, she saw there was no one within her vicinity.They had left her lying on the floor, seemingly believing that she was truly unconscious. Although she was
