Alex approached cautiously, his hands gripping a tray, eyes fixed on Shawn holding a letter. “Excuse me, Master Shawn,” Alex spoke softly, trying to catch his master’s attention. “May I ask, what letter is that?” Shawn glanced briefly at Alex, his sharp eyes scrutinizing him. “It’s something important,” Shawn replied, folding the letter slowly, his tone flat but carrying tension. Alex sensed something unusual but restrained himself from prying further. “If you need help, sir, I’m always at your service.” Shawn offered a faint smile but said nothing. Alex watched closely as Shawn folded the letter in his hands. There was an underlying tension Alex hadn’t seen before. After a few seconds of silence, Shawn exhaled profoundly and said, “Christopher Flint has requested a meeting.” Alex was taken aback by the name. Christopher Flint was not someone to be taken lightly. His mind raced, trying to process what he had just heard. “Do you really think it's necessary, sir? Christop
The atmosphere in the room was suffocating but these two great guys never wanted to show the situation they were in. They each observed each other, Shawn looked calm. He touched his chin with his index finger, until he kept his eyes on the man in front of him, Christopher who was smiling as if he had won a lot of things in his life. looking very bright amidst the strong pressure between them. “I'm also very happy to see you. Are you alright Lord Christopher?” In Shawn's observation, he noticed that this man was trying to control the situation around him. He was being very calm right now, but each of them was wary that it could be the end for them. “Yeah I've been wanting to meet you for a while now. It's about the rumors.” The fake smile on his face was very visible, he even deliberately said something like that to see the panic reaction on his enemy's face. But Shawn didn't show anything he continued to stay straight without changing his expression at all as if it was jus
Christopher shot Shawn a glare, cornering him in the center of the dark room. The atmosphere was tense, the air was heavy, and Shawn felt an inexplicable urgency. “Tell me, Shawn,” Christopher's voice sounded deep, breaking the silence. “What is your power system?” Shawn was silent, he looked blank. There was a mental pressure, a subtle urge that was hard to resist. Christopher had the ability to manipulate minds, and it could be felt now-slowly creeping into his mind, urging him to obey. “I... I can't,” Shawn tried to resist, grasping the sides of his head. The pressure grew stronger. “This power... is the power of a god-” “Don't try to resist,” Christopher leaned closer, a faint smile etched on his face. “You know I can make you talk. Don't make this hard. Tell me. What your Power System is.” Shawn bit his lip, trying hard to resist Christopher's influence. But slowly, his body weakened, his mind seemed to lock up. “I...” Shawn whispered, unable to hold back any longer. C
Rachel took a deep breath. Then she exhaled slowly. She really liked the fresh air she was breathing right now. This made the beautiful woman's sweet smile brighten. “Ah... how delicious...” Rachel closed her eyes to feel the wind on her face. The sound of birds singing to each other seemed to sing to her. Today was a very quiet day for Rachel. In this large garden, she could calm down from the busy and tense atmosphere of the city. I don't know how long it had been since Rachel felt this kind of atmosphere. All this time she had been busy with her work, even taking care of all kinds of annoying people. Rachel was now grateful. At least, now she could reduce the negative people who always talked bad to her. It was all thanks to Shawn who had taken on the huge responsibility of being the successor to the Hubert family. Now, Rachel could enjoy her life with an unbeatable peace of mind. Without Rachel realizing it, a pair of feet approached Rachel. Those eyes were looking at Rach
“The day has finally come...” Christopher Flint looked at the large high-rise building where Jarvis' wedding was being held. Jarvis Techt rented this building at a very high cost. It was no wonder they could afford it after their business became so successful. The Techt family was a famous family. Because they have many businesses in various cities and even abroad. Their life in Yihua city became very luxurious. They were not reached by low-ranking businessmen. In the past, they were not such a famous family. They did a few things to finally succeed and rank among the elite families in Yihua city. Unfortunately, what they did was not entirely clean. Christopher smiled angrily when he saw the bride's name there. Reading her name made his chest ache. “Katherine Techt? Seriously... that name just doesn't fit.” Katherine used to be Christopher Flint's wife. She was a brilliant and charming woman. Her brain was very smart and her smile made any man melt. However, Christopher's hap
“Katherina, can't you stay out of trouble for a moment?” Jarvis glared at Katherina. His gaze was truly that of a predatory animal ready to kill its prey. “Don't you know this is our wedding party?”Katherina lowered her gaze slightly. She did not dare to look at Jarvis in the slightest. To her, Jarvis was so scary when he was raising his voice like this. Katherina's fingers pinched her pants. “I know...”Jarvis clicked his tongue. He really disliked it when Katherina behaved like this. All of a sudden she became a woman who looked spoiled at important times. Sometimes she even acted like someone who needed more attention.Jarvis grabbed the back of Katherina's neck and forced her to look him in the eye. “We are husband and wife now. You can't embarrass me in front of everyone. What do you want to talk about, huh? I had to leave my business plan conversation with Mr. Grayson. And then followed you here on a whim. Tell me now, Katherina!”Katherina gulped. She was trembling. Jarvis' be
“You're out of your mind! What other ridiculous things did you say, Christopher?” Jarvis glared with bloodshot eyes. The blood oozing from the wounds on his face made him look even scarier. “I know you're a fool, but telling Katherina to do such an evil thing would be impossible!” Christopher grinned. He tilted his head with a smile. He walked backwards. Slightly away from the couple. “Oh yeah? Didn't you notice that earlier?” Jarvis swallowed. “Realized what?” Christopher then glanced at Katherina. Then he pointed at the woman. “That woman over there... didn't you notice her?” Jarvis immediately turned to Katherina. The woman was silent with a very flat face. She stood like a robot without any batteries. Jarvis narrowed his eyes. “Katherina! Hey, stupid woman! Did you hear me?” Christopher clapped his hands and laughed. His laughter made no sound. He seemed very satisfied with what Jarvis had done. “Oh, look at this... a newlywed calling her spouse a fool. Is this a comedy
The man didn't stop, he punched Christopher right in the face. Christopher was knocked back quite a distance. He felt the pain on his face. His mouth winced as his body felt the pain from the blow. “Bastard... bastard...” The man turned to Jarvis. His eyes bulged at the blood dripping from the man's thighs and face. He frantically approached him. “Brother, how did you get like this?” Jarvis opened his eyes wide. That figure was like a ray of hope for Jarvis. If he didn't show up now, Jarvis was sure he would have received even worse injuries. “Jared! Help me!” “I know, big brother!” Jared immediately lunged at Katherina. He grabbed Katherina's hand and went for the knife. Then Jared pushed the woman until her body was against the wall. “What are you doing, Katherina? You're hurting your own husband! Is it because this man is your ex-husband?” Christopher glanced at her sharply. He tried to sit up while holding his bleeding head. Jared's unexpected presence had really taken Chri
