By the time Russell fought and defeated the bodyguards, Mack Donald had left in his car. And the news about Russell fighting Heath during his wedding reception event was displayed on many rival news channels.Kyra Lynn, who was related to Russell, saw the news and was greatly surprised. “He’s not the type to pick a fight first. What’s gotten into him for him to publicly do such a thing? Heath Bowman is a tough cookie. Should I give Russell a hand?” she thought for a moment. “Nah, if I meet him outside the board meeting, his wife will give me that long glance again. I guess, if he needs it he’ll call me himself?” Still and all, Kyra called her dad on mobile and told him, “Check the news, Dad. It seems there’s something going on between Russell and Heath. I think you should help him, just to be safe.”“He’s not a child anymore, Kyra. He’s a dad himself now,” Liam Lynn replied from the other side. “He’s going to take care of it himself.”“What if he digs himself into deeper trouble?” Kyr
The four kidnappers were busy inhaling drugs. “We couldn’t get the main woman. Our Boss wouldn’t get angry at us, would he?”“Luckily, he’s in another city right now, so there’s no urgent problem for us.”“He might return soon, though. Should we go and get the main woman, too?”“She’s probably surrounded by armed bodyguards by now. We’ve missed our golden chance, so we can only make do with what we got.”Just then, a guy in a green shirt entered the house, with wine bottles in his hand.“Mike! Been a while since you showed your face,” the kidnappers greeted him and shook his hand. “To what do we owe this pleasure?”“I met a girl recently, and I think she’s the one,” Mike said.“Haha, you lucky bastard!” they all cheered the bottles and drank to their heart’s content.Almost half an hour later.Everybody except Mike was so drunk they weren’t able to sit straight or speak properly.“You said you guys kidnapped someone, right? Where is she now?” Mike asked.They pointed at the room next
In Mia’s dream world.Mia didn’t know that she was in her dream now. And her life in this dream world was a little different from reality.Her parents died the same way, and Mia struggled a lot more in this life as well because her aunt and uncle stole her properties and kicked her out. She somehow worked hard, doing all kinds of part time jobs to continue her education. Eventually, she got a job in a business company, where she had to make the clients buy whatever products the company told her to.It was a fifty-hour a week job, which kept draining the most part of her life. She didn’t like the job, but she kept doing it anyway because she wanted to buy a home. And then find the right man and marry him.A few years of hard work paid off. Not only did she manage to buy a house with a bank loan, but she also got married and had two kids.She had to work even more now because she earned more than her husband. However, no matter how much effort she put in, she wasn’t able to save much mo
“Let’s see what this skill can do,” Mia got up to her feet, completely not noticing the gun behind her. Even though Stemmer knew about the gun, he didn’t mention anything.She walked out in confident steps, even though her heart was beginning to beat faster. It wasn’t out of fear or anxiety but more of anger and pain. Having lived a miserable life in the dream, she was now in a very shitty mood. It wouldn’t be an understatement she was a volcano ready to erupt with the slightest disturbance.The four men outside were still drinking, talking about something.“When is our boss going to take us to the redlight capital of the world? I’ve been waiting for so long to sleep with some of the famous celebrities.”“Haha, you think our boss will let your ugly ass go anywhere near famous celebrities? You’ll likely be put next to some random celeb who’s fading out of the limelight.”“Screw that! I want to sleep with the likes of Reena.”“Haha, you sure are thinking too much of yourself. There’s no
A minute earlier.“Yes, sir,” the boss of the local gang named Five Uncles was talking with someone on the phone while driving a recently stolen car. “I’ll make sure to secure that woman. I’m already very close to our hideout, so do not worry.”“I have Russell Lynn on my ass now, so if you make any mistake, it’s your head that will fly first,” the voice on the other side of the call warned before ending the call.“Tsk, this Drunken Weasel… I don’t even know who he is, but he’s definitely a billionaire,” the local boss stopped the car and got out. He was still almost three hundred meters away from the hideout,but he purposely stopped the car here so the police wouldn’t pinpoint the location of the hideout even if they were to find the car. “I have to make him give me a lot of money this time so I can enjoy more foreign trips. Let’s first secure the hostage. I hope those fools didn’t do anything funny.”He quickly reached the hideout and heard some cries coming from the inside.“Did the
“Who is this Drunken Weasel?” Gabe asked while speedily driving the car. His destination was to reach the hideout where Mia was kept at. He had used Systa’s help to track the location.There were cops chasing him because he crossed the speed limit and didn’t even stop at the red signal.[He’s Mack Donald. A powerful loan shark on the front, but in the background, he’s a member of the Ten Ring mafia group.] Systa said.“Ten Ring mafia?” Gabe never heard of it. “Is it bigger than the Snake gang?”[You can’t compare the Snake gang to the Ten Ring mafia. They are two completely different things.] Systa explained. [Snake gang is like a brute thug, whereas Ten Ring mafia is a smart thug. And the ten members of the Ten Ring mafia are all rich billionaires. Mack Donald is just one of them, and this isn’t public information. It would have been hard to find, but luckily, this information is available in the vampire database we recently collected.]“Billionaires, huh…” Gabe frowned. “That means
“You sent another batch of thugs to their hideout, right?” Mack Donald was asking his personal assistant.“Yes, Boss.”“We must secure that woman no matter what,” Mack was squeezing on a stress-ball. “Otherwise, Russell Lynn will be all on my ass. I knew he was not someone to be trifled with, but I didn’t think he would be crazy enough to fight Heath in front of everyone during the wedding reception. Moreover, it looked like Heath was hurt badly. Let’s hope he’ll recover soon, or I’ll be alone in fighting against the mighty Lynn and Creed families. And they have many more strong allies, too. They could come at me from any direction, so I have to leave for Antarctica for a while. Prepare the necessary flight and other things.”“Sure, Boss,” Mack’s personal assistant, was a woman with tiny knives as her earrings. She wasn’t wearing a professional dress, but a stylish black dress with a medium-long skirt that covered up to her knees. There was a belt fixed to her thigh which held a Glock
“If you had known beforehand, whom would you have chosen to rescue first?” Mia asked.“T-That’s…” Gabe found his heart expanding in his chest a bit too much. “I-I’d like to pass that question.”“Huh, so you would have chosen them, after all.”“I-I didn’t say that.”“Then you would have chosen me first?”“M-Mia, why are you troubling my heart now?” Gabe pitifully said. “Please spare me.”Mia exhaled audibly and then looked at the statues. “I had no idea your system was capable of doing something like this. You are going to turn them back, right?”“About that…” Gabe paused a moment before saying, “I don’t know how to do it yet.”“Huh?” her jaw dropped a bit. “Then you’re going to leave them like that?”“Y-Yeah,” Gabe started walking away. “Let’s go.” He had seen them pointing their guns at her, so he didn’t want to turn them back. That’s why, even though he could try to turn them back, he chose not to.“Wait, Gabe, we can’t just leave like this,” Mia said.“Don’t worry. I’m calling Russ
