Now, Vincent is the prime suspect in Emma's death. An old trick used by Edward when he was accused of plagiarism that time. Huh, now that trick is being used again by Edmund.

Vincent smiled sarcastically in response. Edmund deliberately twisted the facts to save himself.

'Bastard!' Vincent cursed inwardly.

"What are we going to do, Mr. Vin?" Alvin was worried.

Vincent was still thinking. He had to deal with this matter with a cool head. He couldn't be rash and panic as soon as the accusation was made against him.

Edmund would get off scot-free. 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? Victor can't just stand by while his cousin is accused of a crime he didn't commit.

"I'll come back and tell you again, Vin. Calm yourself and don't overthink it. As long as there's no hard evidence, you won't get thrown in jail," Victor said to calm Vincent down.

    "Vincent?" repeated Edmund. "Wasn't he also targeted by the Black Knight?" he confirmed with Doctor Sergio."That's right," Doctor Sergio agreed."Then, what do they want from Vin?" asked Edmund further. 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

    "Mr. Vincent William! You have to come with us to the police station right now," said one of the policemen arresting Vincent in his office.Vincent was with Alvin and other staff members in the office. They were having an internal meeting. However, suddenly some policemen came in with a warrant to arrest Vincent for conspiring with Emma in Edward's death."No way!" prevented Alvin. He went first to protect Vincent."We're sorry. Mr. Vincent must come with us now. You have the right to remain silent and to have an attorney present." The policeman was about to take Vincent away."Sir, why are you silent?" Alvin interrupted again. He couldn't accept Vincent being taken away by those policemen.Alvin thought there must be something wrong with the case. He wondered, why was Vincent suddenly made the main suspect in Edward's death? Both Vincent and Alvin could do nothing but submit to the law.In the meantime, Vincent will follow the examination p

    Suddenly, there were gunshots outside the police station building. Vincent was eager to find out. Unfortunately, he was still in the examination room.Vincent couldn't find out what was really going on out there. In fact, everyone in the police station building panicked when Edmund was shot.Edmund's men immediately called for an ambulance. His master was now seriously wounded and needed immediate medical attention.Edmund fell unconscious. At that time, Victor had just arrived at the police station. He immediately helped Edmund's men after the ambulance arrived.Oh my! What happened? Victor looked around for his colleagues. He didn't get into the ambulance because he had something to report to Vincent. He hurried off to see Vincent in the examination room."What's wrong, Vic?" asked Vincent when Victor arrived in the quiet room. He was very curious."Edmund's been shot," Victor told him. "He was shot around here. His heart," he pointed, at his own body."Oh my God. Apparently the Bla

    Victor approached Vincent again in the examination room. Vincent was surprised. It wasn't like his cousin had just left the police station, so why was he visiting him again?"Vin, big trouble!" Victor was a little anxious. He was confused about where to tell it first."What problem?" Vincent asked. Victor was teary-eyed."They sacked me," Victor said with tears in his eyes."What, sacked who, what do you mean? When you talk about it, don't half-ass it," Vincent said anxiously."The Chief of Police sacked me today," Victor continued.Vincent still didn't understand. Slowly, Victor began to tell the chronology of his dismissal. From beginning to end, Victor spoke at length. However, Vincent was still frowning. Because Victor was too convoluted to tell it."Inhale first and then exhale into the air slowly," Vincent directed. Reflexively, Victor followed his instructions."What was the point of your conversation?" Vincent asked again."The point is that they're going to sack me if I can't

  • The Billionaire Revenge   Very Tight Guard

    Alvin chased after Vincent. "Mr Vin, it's bad!" he looked panicked as he approached Vincent.Vincent turned around, "What's wrong Al?""Where are you going?" Alvin asked earlier. "Don't go to the hospital yet, Sir!" he prevented."So what?" Vincent didn't understand what Alvin was talking about. He waited for Alvin to continue his sentence.Alvin told him that Edmund was now heavily guarded by the State Intelligence Agency. Vincent could not just walk into the hospital to see the man. They have tightened the guard because it is feared that the Black Knight will try to kill Edmund.Apparently, Edmund had planned this in advance. He knew that he was now the target of the Black Knight. For this reason, Edmund sought protection from the State Intelligence Agency. No wonder, Edmund has many connections with high-ranking officials and state officials. "That means the Black Knight can't touch Edmund anymore. That's good then." Vincent could breathe a sigh of relief from now on.At first, V

  • The Billionaire Revenge   Saturation Point

    As promised, Vincent will create an application programme to help the police. He and Alvin are designing the programme.Victor also helped him. He felt bad if he didn't take part. After all, it was Victor who had forced Vincent to agree to co-operate with the Chief of Police.For a day and a night, Vincent and Alvin focused on developing the programme. Vincent wanted to finish it as soon as possible. So that he was free from his dealings with the police. However, his focus was diverted since Black Knight kept sending threatening blast messages.Aaarrrrrgggghhh!"Bastard!" Vincent grunted in annoyance. He threw the items in front of him. This was the first time he felt stuck with all his ideas.Vincent couldn't concentrate. His brain was uncompromising. Alvin and Victor were terrified to see Vincent's expression and reaction tonight. Because Vincent didn't usually show his expression in front of others when he was experiencing a period of saturation."Vin," Victor hisses softly. He app

    Milea screamed loudly in the tent. Suddenly, Vincent rushed to her. He was afraid that something would happen to his fiancée."What's wrong, Milea?" Vincent asked. However, Vincent's focus was diverted to the clothes she was now wearing.That's right, Milea was sexy as hell in Vincent's white shirt. She was wearing no trousers or skirt.Oh my! Vincent shook his head. He tried to get rid of the dirty thoughts in his brain."LOOK AT IT!" he pointed at Milea. "There's a lizard," she told Vincent.Oh my! So just because of the lizard, Milea screamed hysterically like that. Vincent hurriedly chased the lizard away. Milea was scared to death when the lizard stuck its tongue out in front of her."Are you scared of the lizard? It won't bite you, Milea." Vincent calmed Milea who looked panicked after being visited by the reptile."Not scared. But amused," Milea denied."How amused? Didn't the lizard poke you?" joked Vincent.Milea turned her head irritably towards Vincent. Vincent's joking int

  • The Billionaire Revenge   Vincent Disappears

    Milea approached Victor and Alvin who arrived at the scene of the crime first. The location where Vincent disappeared without a trace."Al, have you tracked him down?" Milea asked worriedly."Not yet, Miss. I came straight here after hearing the news that Mr Vin had a traffic accident," Alvin replied with an excuse. Just like Milea, Alvin was also very worried about Vincent's condition.Victor traced Vincent's car, which had been hit by a truck. Strangely enough, the driver of the truck also disappeared like Vincent at this time.The drivers just left their vehicles on the road without any clues. So that raises a big question in Victor's mind. Where are they now?Alvin headed for his car. He opened his laptop and checked all the CCTV cameras on the highway. Unfortunately, Alvin couldn't hack into the security system on the highway. Because the CCTV footage seemed to have disappeared or was deliberately destroyed to eliminate its traces."Damn it!" Alvin was annoyed that he couldn't fi

  • 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

    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

    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

    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
