Mr. Marcus's smile faded, replaced by a look of anger. "Don't be foolish, Doctor," he said. "You don't understand who you're dealing with. I am the eldest master of the Larkin family, and I can make your life very difficult if I want to."Dr. Megan felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that the Larkin family was one of the most powerful and dangerous families in the city, and she didn't want to get on their bad side.But she also knew that she couldn't compromise her principles. "I'm sorry, Mr. Marcus," she said, her voice firm. "But I cannot marry your son, no matter how much money you offer because I have no feelings for him."Marcus's face grew red with anger. "Very well," he said, his voice cold. "But don't come crying to me when you lose your job.""Thank you for your words. I'll take my leave now." Megan walked out after that.Right after he walked out of the room, Donovan, who was also hiding beside the wardrobe, came out with an angry and sad expression on his face.He had
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit room in an unknown location, a man in a dark suit was seated in a high chair with his legs crossed. His face couldn't be seen clearly because of how dark the room was. His shadow reflection was on the wall. Beside him were twenty men—ten on his left and another ten on his right. They all had guns in their hands. Just then, a lady wearing a blue mask with the letter V written on it opened the door and walked into the dark room.Her dress was a sleek, form-fitting number in a deep shade of midnight blue. The fabric was made of a smooth, cool material that seemed to repel warmth rather than retain it. The neckline was high and fitted, covering her throat like a shield. The sleeves were long and tight, stretching down to her wrists like a second skin. There were no adornments or embellishments to be found, only a subtle seam that ran down the center of the dress. The overall effect was one of austere elegance, like the dress was a weapon in its own right.As she
Meanwhile, it was 7 p.m. when Oliver and Ynes arrived at the place where the cage fight was going to take place. This time, Ynes and Oliver came alone in her BMW. She asked Ryker to stay back, as he wanted to have time alone with Oliver. Seeing Ynes, a lot of people cheered up as they respectfully greeted her. Everyone knew her as the granddaughter of the matriarch of the Larkin family. Seeing Oliver walk by her side, some even wondered if he was her lucky boyfriend. That night he wasn't looking bad; he was dressed nicely and looking very handsome. "It seems you're very popular here; see how everyone is trying to flatter you." Oliver said with a smile. Ynes sighed. "Well, it is what it is." She replied shortly. Ynes and Oliver were allowed to enter quickly without any delay because they knew who she was. Ynes wor
"You better be ready to bleed, John, because I'm going to make you regret stepping into this cage." Sullivan said John chuckled hard, his eyes looking cold. "Sullivan," he called out. "You think you're man enough to beat me? That must be a joke. Wait until I get my hands on you. You'll be begging for mercy before the first round is over." He replied "I've fought men twice your size and beaten them. You don't stand a chance against me. You know, actually, John, I'm not just here to win. I'm here to destroy you and the other opponents, to make you all regret ever stepping into the ring with me." Sulivan threw more savage words, just as his name suggested. Jack gritted his teeth upon hearing his words. "Cut the savage crap and let's fight it out." Just after he landed, he threw a heavy right hook, but Sullivan ducked underneath it and delivered a quick jab to the body. The crowd erupted in cheers, impressed by the spee
David launched himself forward with fierce determination, his fists flying as he aimed for Marcus's head. But Marcus was a master of evasion, his quick reflexes allowing him to dodge each punch with ease.As David continued his relentless assault, Marcus waited patiently for the right moment to strike. And then, in one swift move, "Puff!"He seized his chance, ducking under David's final punch and delivering a crushing blow to his midsection."Ahh!"David crumpled to the mat, his breath knocked out of him as Marcus was declared the winner. "I warned you, David; you're no match for me. Go and get prepared for next year's match."Even though Marcus shocked everyone with his only one-strike defeating blow, the crowd roared their approval as Marcus raised his arms in triumph, his victory secured in a matter of moments.Oliver's eyes narrowed as he watched Marcus celebrate his victory in the ring. Something about the way he had defeated David didn't sit right with him. It was almost as i
Kindly leave your comments whiles readingThe crowd erupted in disbelief at his bold challenge. Even though they all knew Lee was strong, they didn't believe he could take down five fighters at once. The other four fighters looked at each other with uncertainty. The referee frowned, unsure of whether to allow such an unusual request."Lee, why are you so proud? You think taking one person down is enough for five of us together?" One of them saidLee shrugged. "It's up to you. You can fight me one-on-one if you want, but I guarantee you'll all lose. This way, at least you have a chance."The referee looked around at the crowd, sensing their excitement and anticipation at the prospect of such an epic battle. Finally, he nodded. "Very well. We'll allow it. The final fight will be all five fighters against Lee.""Lee, be prepared to die in our hands today; your body will be sent back to your country, China." Another said with a chuckle.The entire scene was filled with silence as eve
The referee was about to announce Lee as the winner of the $2 million when Oliver stood up and interrupted him. He cleared his throat and spoke loudly, "Wait a minute, referee. Before you announce the winner, I want to challenge Lee to a fight."The crowd fell silent, shocked at Oliver's sudden challenge. Everyone's attention drifted to him. Ynes was shocked and turned to Oliver."Oliver, what are you saying? Do you want to get killed?" She asked in a low voice.He didn't reply to Ynes but was still standing by his words.Sophia turned to look at Oliver with a smile."He thinks he's a fighter; I can't wait for Lee to accept this and trash him in that cage." She mutteredThe crowd starts laughing and jeering at Oliver, taunting him with comments like "You're crazy!" and "He'll kill you in one move!""Look at you, you're just like an ant In Front of Lee. "You're just a joke!""Stay in your seat; you don't stand a chance!""Lee will end you in a blink of an eye!""Ha! This guy is crazy!"
Oliver sneered at Lee and shook his head in disappointment. "You're not even worthy to know who I am," he said, his voice carrying a hint of disgust.Lee's eyes widened in shock and anger. "How dare you?" he spat. "I'll make you regret those words!"Oliver just chuckled, unfazed by Lee's anger. "If you're a man, climb back up to the stage and let's finish this," he said, daring Lee to come back up and fight him.Lee took a deep breath. He summoned the last bit of his power, and with the help of his demonic chi, he stood up and rushed back into the ring with a look of pure rage on his face. He charged at Oliver, determined to take him down.As Lee rushed towards Oliver, the latter stood still and waited for him with a smirk on his face. "I'll give you a minute's chance to attack me, but I won't attack back. I'll only defend. After one minute, I'll show you what I'm made of, and I'll start beating you black and blue." Oliver's cold voice sounded loud."Wow!" The crowd fell silent as t
