2023-08-18 19:00:20Upon arriving at the funeral home, Vincent immediately approached Edmund. It seemed that Edmund was still sad and could not accept the fact that Edward, his younger brother, had passed away.
"My condolences, Mr. Edmund," Vincent said.
"'Thanks, Vin,' Edmund replied as he turned to Vincent. Then, he looked at his brother's coffin again. While occasionally wiping his tears.
Edmund was devastated. He felt lost after Edward's passing. At that time, Vincent accompanied him for a while. Then, Claudia approached Vincent.
"Vin, I feel something strange about Edward's death," Claudia whispered. Vincent frowned.
"Come with me! I have something to talk to you about. But not in front of my uncle," Claudia invited. She went first. Then, Vincent followed behind her.
Vincent and Claudia talk elsewhere, keeping Edmund at a distance. Claudia said that she felt odd about Edward's death. Edward's sudden passing left a big question mark in her mind.

Vincent was both astonished and curious at the attitude Edmund was showing."Tell me quickly! Where is the woman?" urged Edmund. He was already preparing to shoot Vincent again. If Vincent didn't tell him immediately."That woman was framed by someone," Vincent said. Finally he spoke up and told Edmund the truth."What did you say, framed?" Edmund could not fully believe Vincent."You mean someone set her up on purpose?"Vincent nodded firmly. "Someone else sent him, to kill your brother," he said."Who sent her?

Now, the criminal is undergoing examination handled by the Prosecutor.Edmund was shocked to hear the news that the Minister was involved in the buying and selling of patients' organs at the Regional General Hospital.

The Billionaire Revenge Execution of the Minister
"Why are you keeping quiet?" Victor urged Edmund.Victor was a little annoyed that Edmund was still silent. The man could not be questioned. His mouth is locked shut like a padlock, Victor thought.Victor had almost lost his temper. He couldn't help himself when he faced Edmund. Moreover, he had witnessed firsthand how cruelly Edmund had executed Emma until she died."Crazy bastard!" cursed Victor. "Say it quickly! If not, your punishment will be very severe," he threatened."I will remain silent until my lawyer arrives. You can ask my lawyer later," Edmund said very calmly."Damn it!" Victor snorted in annoyance.Edmund's answer had made him checkmate. However, Victor did not despair.

He had many 'insider' connections in both the government and the judiciary.Victor must leave immediately to investigate the case. Why would Vincent be a suspect in Emma's death?

He extracted all the information about the Black Knight from Doctor Sergio."His brain. Vincent's genius brain transplant. They want it so badly," Doctor Sergio informed.Although he hadn't met the Big Boss of Black Knight in person, Doctor Sergio had heard it himself. That Vincent's genius brain was targeted by the Black Knight. It would be very dangerous if they got it. Doctor Sergio explained at length to Edmund.It's hard to believe. But it sounds very plausible. Everyone wanted Vincent so badly. Even Edmund had competed with Mr. Eduardo for Vincent.No wonder, if Vincent is now highly desired by the Black Knight. Or maybe, Vincent will be the one to take full control of the Black Knight one day, Edmund thought."Vin would be very

The Enemy Behind the Mask
In a dark harbour area filled with tall containers. It was raining heavily, making the ground slippery and the air filled with the smell of sea salt.Milea's quick steps echoed as she ran between the containers. Her breathing was now ragged, the black shadows of armed men looming over her every move. Her heart was racing, fear haunting every breath. However, she could handle it because she was used to being chased by criminals.Milea had a bad feeling since Vincent left home in a hurry without telling her. She knew why he left secretly. It was because Vincent didn't want Milea to get involved again.“Don't let her get away!” shouted one of his pursuers.Milea jumped over a wooden box and rolled into the back of a container. Her body was already soaking wet. She pressed her back against the metal wall, hearing the heavy steps getting closer. Quickly, she slipped further into the dark, narrow passage. She tried not to make a sound as she hid the
A Trusted Informant
Without hesitation, Ryuga burst through the burning door, even though his hands and face were beginning to burn from the overwhelming heat. His eyes were focused on only one thing-Milea.“Ryuga... hurry...!” Milea was terrified.Ryuga saw Milea falling in the corner of the room, blocked by a partially burnt table. Wasting no time, he ran towards Milea and picked her up. However, the flames were getting closer, and several burning wooden beams fell between them, blocking the way out.“Hold on a little longer, Milea! I'll get you out!”Milea, who had already lost a lot of energy, could barely hold on. Her body was shivering, her face was pale, and her eyes were starting to blur as the smoke obscured her vision. Plus, her leg was injured.Ryuga held Milea's hand, clasped it tightly, and tried to calm himself down. The smoke was getting thicker, and the sound of the raging fire was choking the air. In that very critical conditio
Key in the Dark
Milea struggled alone with all her strength. The narrow walls of the room where she was kept felt like a cold iron cage. She pushed her body towards the small window, trying to pry open the tightly fitted steel trellis, but her efforts were in vain. Her legs were still hurting, and she couldn't walk if she tried.“There must be a way out of here,” she hissed, biting her lip as frustration crept into her mind.Milea twisted her body, her eyes scanning every corner for an opening. However, the security designed by her uncle, Nakamura, was too tight. Hidden cameras watched every move, and the electronic locks on the doors were impossible to penetrate without proper access.Nakamura, a man with a cold and calculating aura, stood in the control room on the other side of the building. Beside him, Ryuga-his son and leading member of the Ryuujin-kai-was watching the monitor screen with a gaze full of turbulent emotions.“You're being too hard on
A War that Starts in the Family
Vincent's eyes widened in surprise as his tablet lit up with running codes, emitting a cold blue light in the dark room. The basement where he was hiding suddenly felt more cramped. The sound of footsteps echoed above his head-they were getting closer, he thought.“Milea, hang on!” Vincent was still trying to crack the secret code that seemed to be getting harder and harder to crack.There was a sound from the earphones in his ears. Lorenzo's heavy, hateful voice infiltrated his mind like poison.“How does it feel, Vin? Being the son of a traitor?” asked a chuckling Lorenzo on the other side of the encrypted communication.“Shut up! You know nothing about my father,” Vincent hissed, his fingers dancing over the keyboard at lightning speed. He was trying to crack the final access code that would open a way out of the digital trap Lorenzo had set.Vincent had thought that it was Ryuga who had set the trap. He was wrong, it was Lorenzo's decoy. There was a possibility that Ryuga had take
The Game of Revenge
Vincent was furious. He couldn't wait any longer to see Milea suffer being kept there.“I have to save her!” Vincent insisted.Darkness enveloped the narrow hallway as Vincent ducked into the shadows, his breath held, ears attuned to the sound of each approaching step. The sound of boots treading the concrete floor echoed in the distance. His skilful hand pressed a small button on his wrist, and a blue holographic display lit up, mapping out the security path he was travelling.Every second felt like a needle, reminding him that time was ticking and Milea was still under threat.Vincent punched the large metal door with his fingertips, hacking the lock panel with a code he had spent weeks learning. The door opened slowly, revealing a dimly lit room. The sound of humming electricity greeted him, followed by the glow of white light emanating from a row of giant monitors on the wall.On each screen, Milea's face is clearly displayed. Her eyes are open, full of fear, while her body is tie
Invisible Networks
The silent night was broken by the soft sound of fingers tapping on a keyboard. In a darkened room with only the blue light of the monitor shining on his face, Vincent focussed all his attention on the scrolling lines of code on the screen.Vincent was shocked. As it turned out, Ryuujin-kai's cyber defence system was far more sophisticated than he had ever penetrated before, full of digital traps and firewalls that seemed to be alive, trying to catch intruders.“C'mon... it's almost done,” Vincent muttered as he quickened his hand.Red dots appeared in the corner of the monitor screen of the computer Vincent was using, signalling that the system had begun to sense his presence. He didn't care. This wasn't about stealing information-it was about finding the core of the enemy's power.With bated breath, Vincent bypassed the last layer of encryption. A secret directory began to open. Inside, a folder labelled ‘Operation Ryujin-Lorenzo’ caught his eye. He typed in the command to access th
Dangerous Choice
Vincent stared intently at the old photo that Milea had just given him. He scanned the photo until it appeared on the monitor screen. His hand trembled as he touched the screen, enlarging the blurry image.Next to a faintly smiling Lorenzo, stood a man with sharp eyes and a solid jaw who was presumed to be Uncle Peter, the man who was thought to have disappeared without a trace. The small dragon tattoo on the man's wrist was an undeniable sign. Vincent's eyes blinked, as if trying to reject the reality that was laid out before him.“This is impossible,” Vincent murmured, his voice a little hoarse between the shock and fear that began to cloud his mind.Milea sat beside her husband, clasping his hand tightly, her eyes full of determination and old wounds reopened.“He's involved, Vin. Lorenzo knows something about Uncle Peter's disappearance in the past. I'm sure of it,” Milea said, her voice trembling.Vincent took a deep breath, his mind racing for a solution. With forced calm, he lo
Shadow Tracks
The last bullet hit the concrete wall next to Vincent, splattering dust that blocked his view for a moment. Quickly, he pulled Milea behind the metal container that was beginning to fill with bullet holes.“They've surrounded us,” Vincent whispered in a tense tone, his hand clutching the gun with only a few bullets left.Luckily, Vincent had anticipated this before they escaped. “Then where should we go?” asked Milea.Milea, breathing heavily, pressed on her wound that was beginning to bleed. She accidentally stepped on a piece of broken glass and hurt her left leg. All around them, the enemy's footsteps approached, a sharp Japanese voice could be heard giving execution orders.Then, in the distance, the roar of a large vehicle rumbled, followed by the sound of heavy gunfire that broke the night. An armoured truck slammed into the iron fence blocking the entrance, widening the eyes of the pursuers. The back door swung open, and out stepped several heavily armed men who opened precisio
The Faceless War
After receiving this warning, Vincent tried to protect his wife Milea with all his might. He knew she was in danger and could be their next target. For him, it was too risky.The night in Santorini, which was usually calm, now began to feel tense. There was no longer the peace of their honeymoon. The dark sky stretched above them as Vincent and Milea stood at the edge of the pier, the sea breeze carrying a salty scent that stung their noses.The flashing lights of the small town in the distance were only a faint backdrop to the shadow of menace that was beginning to creep into their lives. Milea looked at the island that was to be their honeymoon spot with a wistful gaze.“We can stay here while looking for another way....” Milea's voice was almost a whisper, as if trying to maintain the calm that was beginning to crumble.Vincent grasped his wife's hand tightly, his face full of unwavering determination. “It's too late. They know where we are now.”Milea turned to Vincent with tears
