Tony couldn't believe his eyes. Jessica was standing there, and the way she’d walked straight up to him after stepping off the elevator told him she was here for him. “Tony, there’s something you need to know,” Jessica said, her voice serious. Tony stared at her, trying to process this sudden appearance. “Ma’am, please back away. We’re trying to secure this individual. He’s dangerous,” one of the security guards surrounding Tony said. Jessica glanced at the guard coldly, then ignored him. “Ma’am, please stop right there!” another guard warned. She ignored him again. One of the guards was reassigned from guarding Tony to blocking Jessica. This time, her progress stopped. “Ma’am, for your own safety, please stop approaching and let us—” Whack! Before the guard could finish his sentence, Jessica unleashed a lightning-fast kick, a move straight out of a taekwondo textbook, that landed squarely on his neck. The guard crumpled to the ground, unconscious. The other four
Even though Bernard had given his orders clearly, none of the police officers approached. They remained in their respective positions, as if they were waiting for the real order. Of course, this made Bernard unhappy. Would these cops only arrest Tony if the one giving them the order was their commander? It was ridiculous if that was the case! Sweep! Bernard pulled back his robe, taking out the pistol he had hidden under it. He cocked the pistol, then pointed it at Tony. "It's okay if you don't want to arrest him right away. I'll cripple him so he can't escape when your commander arrives," Bernard sneered. Jessica turned and looked at Bernard anxiously. She didn't know Bernard Valmont, but it seemed like he was crazy enough. He could actually shoot Tony in front of these cops. Sometimes people who are too rich can act irrationally and not think about the consequences of what they do. "Tony..." Before Jessica could finish her sentence, Tony suddenly stepped forward, acting
Bernard Valmont was truly shocked to hear what Tony said. He fell silent for a moment, stunned and looking stupid. But then, he thought that Tony was just bluffing him, because when he thought about it again, what Tony said didn't make sense. So he smirked and laughed. “You bastard! You're trying to play me, huh! How dare you! You think I believe your bullshit?” Bernard scoffed. Tony raised one eyebrow, looking at Bernard strangely. He released his grip on Bernard's left shoulder and pushed Bernard's back with his foot. Bernard fell and his forehead briefly touched the dry and slightly hot hospital floor. "Shit! You're a fucking bastard! You fucking crossed the line, you know that?!" Bernard cursed, glaring at Tony with a flushed face. Of course, Tony didn't care. He just smirked slightly at the corner of his lips. He rubbed the soles of his shoes as if he had just stepped on dog poop. Seeing what Tony was doing, Bernard was really furious. Holding his leg that Tony had broke
Jessica parked her car outside the hospital. With a firm and forceful gesture, Jessica asked Tony to get into her car first. Tony did so with a bored face. Jessica got in through the right door and then closed the car door and locked it."Remember, like I said earlier, this will be our last conversation. So, whatever it is you want to talk to me about, I suggest you finish it right now," Tony said.Jessica turned to look at Tony, finding Tony staring straight ahead. He didn't seem interested in listening to anything she was going to say.But Jessica didn't care. She had wanted to discuss this for a long time. This was the best moment she had so far."As you might have guessed, this is about Michelle," Jessica began."The other day I told you that she tried to end her life by throwing herself into the sea, right? Well, she almost succeeded."I say 'almost' because her heart did stop beating for a few moments. Luckily, with my basic medical knowledge, I managed to give her artificial re
Bernard's face instantly turned pale. Tony intended to punish him? What kind of punishment did he mean?"You still remember everything you said in your daughter's hospital room, right, Mr. Valmont?" Tony asked, moving closer to Bernard.Bernard instinctively backed away. A heavy feeling of fear enveloped him.How could he not? Right now, in front of him, Tony's figure suddenly looked bigger, and it was because Tony was letting some of his war god aura out of his body, blazing like a black fire.And not only that, Tony's gaze was so cold. He looked like a cold-blooded killer ready to kill his target."W-w-which one? W-w-what did I say to you back then?"Suddenly, Bernard started to stammer. He was surprised himself when he heard his voice.Tony smiled, but his gaze remained cold. He said, "Well, whether you remember it or not, it doesn't matter. It won't change anything. Right now, here, I'm going to give you the punishment you deserve."Bernard's eyes widened. He saw the black flames
"What took you all so long? And why is this trash coming along with you?" The one who said that was Tony's father-in-law, Josh. He's standing in front of the front door of a villa, waiting for his family. They're about to join the birthday party of Grandma Tiffany, the current leader of the Robertson Family. "He just came out of nowhere, Josh. I already asked him to go home, but he said he wants to come to the party!" explained Sasha, curtly. Sasha was Tony's mother-in-law. Just like her husband, she looked down on Tony because he was such a poor guy. "He was already outside the villa when we were about to arrive, Dad. Sis insisted on taking him with us. I disagreed, though. Look at him. His shirt is dirty and he looks like a poor, pathetic guy! He will only make us embarrassed inside!" Now it’s Josephine who spoke. She's Tony's sister-in-law, and she hated Tony more than anyone in this world. "Sorry. I didn't have time to change clothes. I came straight here from the bar
"What?! No, I won't divorce Jade, Grandma! Never!" said Tony in a high tone. He's so shocked to hear that Tiffany asked him to divorce his wife, right now, in front of all the members of the Robertson Family. Tiffany, on the other side, looked at Tony angrily, then she looked back at Josh. "Josh, is your son-in-law always this barbaric?" she quipped. Josh's face turned red again. He really felt humiliated by having a poor, useless man like Tony as his son-in-law. And just now this trash son-in-law made him feel much more humiliated. "Watch your mouth, Tony! How dare you speak in that tone to my mom!" scolded Josh. "But, Dad, Grandma just said—" "Just shut up, Tony! Shut your fucking mouth and get back!" shouted Josh, angrily. Josh didn't want his extended family to look down on him any less. It was the chance for him to show them that he was the one in control of his little family. Unfortunately, it wasn't just Tony that he had to deal with. Jade, his beloved daughter, steppe
People were amazed at what Tony just did. Their eyes widened. It looked like their chins were going to fall off and fall to the floor. "Tony, what are you doing?!" Sasha snapped him. "You bastard! That’s a super expensive necklace!" Josh shouted at him. "You're dead, Tony! You broke the necklace! Now you have to pay for it yourself! Don't involve us!" said Josephine. All eyes were now on Tony. Two million dollars. How could a poor, jobless guy like him pay such compensation to Bobby? “How dare you break it, you bastard! ” Bobby barked. Though he got these jewelries from one of his friends and he actually cost nothing, he couldn't bear Tony be disrespectful to him! "Well, I just did it." Standing straight before Bobby, Tony stared at him back,folding his arms. "Stop pretending, you trash! I know you wouldn’t have such an amount of money to pay me. Even if I give you ten years, it's impossible for a useless man like you to get the money," Bobby added, rolling his eyes a
