Then, the fight began. Correl was skilled in physical combat, given that he was also trained like Veron. However, Correl was at a great disadvantage. There were too many opponents, and he was ambushed.

“All of you are bastards! You are nothing compared to me!” exclaimed Correl, snapping his opponent’s neck, before running away from the other enemies that were determined to attack him.

Correl ran wherever his feet would bring him, and turning to the other side led him to Carter and Carson’s location, where an enemy was attacking.

‘Sabrina, you bitch! You are involving my children in this mess, too?!’ said Correl at the back of his mind with his teeth clenched.

And without any hesitation, Correl took the enemy’s knife in one swift, and slashed the man’s throat, making the latter fall to the ground—lifeless.

“Aaahh!” Carson shouted in fear upon seeing blood in his father’s hands.

Carter, on the other hand, remained silent. He covered Carson’s eyes and assured him that everything was alrig

    “Why are you laughing? Do you think I’m fooling around?” asked Veron, his tone irritated because it seemed like Correl wasn’t taking him seriously. “I know you are ambitious, but why? Why would you betray me like this?”“Hmm. Is it just me who is betraying you?” Correl retorted. He clicked his tongue and shook his head in amusement. “Sabrina also betrayed you, and if you only knew how snaky she was, you would divorce her this instant—”Correl wasn’t able to finish his sentence when suddenly, Veron slammed him into the side of the staircase and held him by the collar.“Stop spouting nonsense. Ask for my forgiveness, and promise me that you will stop rebuilding the Red Snake Organization,” Veron demanded as his hands gripped tighter to Correl. “Do it, and I might spare your life.”“Might spare my life, huh?” Correl raised an eyebrow, looking at Veron in disbelief, not even showing any signs of fear. “And why would I ask for forgiveness? I just wanted to increase our wealth and influence

    “Well, it just means that you are a worthless heir,” Pyth muttered, his tone laced with disdain.Correl raised an eyebrow, and his gaze became dark and intimidating. “What the fuck did you just say?”“You mean, you came from a powerful family, yet you are here, running from your creditors and working your ass off until you die?” Pyth laughed sarcastically and held Correl’s jaw, hard. “I know that I’m not your only creditor, Red. And how dare you curse at me, you shithead?”With a warning, Pyth hit Correl’s head on the ground, causing the blood to flow from it. Correl also became dizzy, and his vision became blurry in a snap, yet he couldn’t do anything.He helplessly kneeled on the ground, with his hands and feet tied. It was because Pyth’s people managed to find him earlier and bring him to their secret hideout.“Hmm… I just had a bright idea, Red,” Pyth spoke, his hands caressing his chin while staring at Correl. “If you can’t pay us with money, what if we take some of your organs a

    “THAT young master of yours… knows that I didn’t die from the fire in the Ferremento mansion back then?” asked Correl in a nervous tone.“Yes, Sir.” Fabian nodded. “But only the young master and I know about your real identity. The Ferremento family still thought that they had cremated your body, and there was no way to retract that assumption. You don’t need to worry,” he added to reassure.However, Correl felt the opposite, knowing that someone held a major secret against him. “How can I ensure that your young master won’t tell that truth to the Ferremento family?”“He hated the Ferremento family… The same as you. Young master says that if you knew about it, that he also wanted revenge, you would trust him,” Fabian said, hi

    CORREL was trying to blend in while concealing his presence at the same time. Correl was continuously hiding in the corners so no one would see them.But he can see everyone within his location… Including Damian in his calm yet panicked state while looking for Carson.‘You grew up so well, and I can say that you got Sabrina’s guts and Veron’s authoritative presence, Damian Giovanni,’ said Correl at the back of his mind, gritting his teeth. ‘Lucky for you, I didn’t succeed in killing you and Sabrina back then.’He moved his eyes away, afraid that he would lose his temper because of the anger boiling inside him. Instead, he walked toward the garden to get some fresh air. But he saw Carson and a young woman instead.

    “DAD, am I stupid and foolish?” Carter asked, his gaze fixated on the table.“What? Of course not,” Correl answered, shaking his head. “You are the most intelligent person I have ever seen, so what made you think about that, my son?”“Because it feels like Damian is always one step ahead of me.” Carter sighed. “I mean, I know it wasn’t the case. He didn’t even expect any of my plans just now… But it feels like I’m still failing. My plan failed.”“What plan, exactly?” Correl asked as he sat on the chair beside his son.“The plan to take over the company.” Carter leaned forward, placing his elbows on his legs, and intertwining his fingers. “According to a document notarized by the board, Damian will be the temporary CEO in case something bad happens to him. He planned everything.”Hearing the news made Correl clench his fists, but he remained calm. He let out a smirk. “It is just your uncle’s nature. You have been with him for over a decade, yet you aren’t used to that?”“I need to cra

    “YOU are such a good doctor, but why are you here in the countryside? Don’t you want to make more money?” Sabrina asked, her brows furrowing.“Whose person in their sane mind doesn’t want money?” Ren couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. “I just want a peaceful life and enough money that can sustain my survival. I don’t want anyone to take advantage of my skills for their greed. That’s all.”“Well said.” Sabrina nodded and even gave Ren a slow clap. “Anyway, thank you for helping me. We wouldn’t be alive now if not for you.”Ren only smiled at her in response.Since they have nowhere else to go, Ren offered Sabrina to live in his house since he was alone for a long time after Reina Smith, his sister, died. Sabrina accepted it, and now, she was helping Ren in farming so they could sell the crops in the market.And three months after that accident, Damian already woke up. He was able to move his body, too… Except for one thing.“Who… are you?” Damian asked, the confusion evident

    “THAT kid… Wanted to kill you?” Ren asked, looking at Sabrina in disbelief. “He is just a college student. Are you being serious right now?”“If he takes after his father, which he probably did, then yes, I’m serious,” Sabrina answered, remembering the information she dug about Carter, the eldest son. “But I know that he’s not after me, but Damian.”Hearing the confidence in Sabrina’s tone, Ren’s brows furrowed. “How can you be so sure?”“Because the announcement for the next heir is just around the corner, and I believe that Carter would like to take everything under control by killing my son.” Sabrina clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “I won’t let that happen, so we are going to lure them away

    AS DAMIAN heard the panic in Francesca’s voice, he suddenly became attentive. “Why? What happened?”“I just heard it from the other directors, who were passing by earlier, that they will have an emergency board meeting anytime by now,” Francesca informed, her tone low, preventing anyone from hearing her. “I believe they will request your presence later.”“An emergency board meeting? What for?” Damian asked, his brows furrowed.“For your removal as the temporary CEO, Sir…”Upon hearing Francesca’s report, Damian almost let go of his phone. He had just recovered from his headache due to remembering his past, yet there was something that he needed to address again.“Did you hear any news on why they wanted to remove me as the current CEO?” inquired Damian, making Anya look at him with her eyes widening in shock.“It was Ma’am Sarah who initiated the emergency board meeting, Sir. But I wasn’t able to hear why they wanted to conduct it,” said Francesca in a low tone. “They already walked p

    Epilogue: The Last Retaliation

    THE hostage-taking Carter did in the warehouse spread in various news channels like wildfire. Everyone was shocked because of his sudden escape from prison, making the residents afraid for their safety, knowing that the management wasn’t doing their job properly to monitor the prisoners.With that, the warden and his apprentices, who were also under Carter’s authority, were fired from their jobs. They were replaced by a management who cared about their citizens, removing the patronage system in the prison, and bringing back justice at the same time.Due to Carter’s crimes being in high intensity, he was transferred to a high-security prison. Carter could only laugh as his mind was still in the past, thinking how rich and powerful he was, even though that wasn’t the case now.Carter had already gone insane, but it was only the beginning of his suffering.“At last, you finally arrived,” Catelyn, who was waiting in Carter’s cell, greeted. “Did you miss me?”“What are you doing here?” Cart

    Chapter 336: Let's End This Now

    THE lights were flickering, adding tension in the air, as Damian entered the warehouse alone. He doesn’t have any guns or other weapons with him, nor he didn’t call anyone like Carter instructed.Damian was on high alert as he continued walking when suddenly, two men wearing full black clothes started to approach him with their guns.‘Fuck,’ cursed Damian at the back of his mind, seeing how helpless he was right now.Especially after seeing Ava tied to the chair, his mouth gagged, while Catela is sleeping in the crib beside her.Despite the situation, he couldn’t give up. Damian needed to save himself along with Ava and Catela and end this fight with Carter so it wouldn’t repeat.The two men tied Damian’s hands and feet to the chair, but unlike Ava, they didn’t gag him.“It is so unusual to see how obedient you are. I never thought you could do it,” Carter, who appeared from the shadows, smirked upon seeing Damian being helpless. “That’s right. They will always be safe as long as you

    Chapter 335: Everything Will Be Alright

    “That was not enough for all the bullshit you did to me before. But for now, let’s call it even," Damian said.Carson only shook his head as he wiped the blood on his lips before leaving the house. And the only thing that was running through his mind was how strong Damian’s punch was… before until now.THE NEXT morning, Carson didn’t just confess what he did to the board members, but he conducted a press conference to publicly apologize to Damian. He knew that Damian deserved to clear his name and regain his reputation, and although his public apology wasn’t enough, he still did it to show his sincerity.“Starting today, Carson Ferremento is now terminated as the CEO, and will face two years of suspension because of him ruining the Ferremento Corporation’s reputation,” Piper announced, her tone colder than usual. “The position will go back to Damian Giovanni Ferremento.”Carson smiled sadly, but he knew he needed to accept the consequences of his actions.However, since Damian had a

    “That bastard. He told you that even though you have a husband?” Carson asked, his teeth gritting.“Well, this is just an arranged marriage, and he knows it.” Ava shrugged. “To be honest, I would marry a man like him although he isn’t the richest, than stay with a puppet like you, who only knows how to follow someone else—”“Here,” Carson interjected, giving Ava the signed papers. “I will let you take Catela because I need to deal with something, but I will take her away from you once I'm done.”“Hah. As if I will let you do that.” Ava scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Thank you for this, Carson. Catela will benefit so much from this.”And as if Ava was waiting for this to happen, when she went again to their bedroom to take Catela, she already had her luggage with her and was talking to someone.“Yes, he already signed the divorce paper, and I’m all set…” Ava said, smiling from ear to ear. “Oh, your bodyguard is outside the house already? Alright. I will let him in.”Ignoring Carson, Ava

    After Carter went out of the house unnoticed, that was the only time Carson could breathe properly. He didn’t even realize he was suppressing his breath because of fear.‘Is that really the brother I used to be with ever since I was a child?’ Carson thought, his heart racing, as he leaned into a tree. ‘We are family. Why would he threaten me like that? Is the company and the organization more important to him than me?’And upon asking himself that question, Carson got his answer. Carter wouldn’t mind killing everyone who would be a hindrance to his plans, and he is not an exemption.His gaze went to the house—Something he had because of Carter. Everything he had was him, not giving Carson any chance to carve out his own identity. He was only known for his surname, and for all his careless actions when he was in teenager days.The only thing he had that wasn’t connected with Carter was Dollie, whom he took for granted, and now his family; Ava, his wife, and Catela, their child.“Ava,”

    Realizing that Damian needs him right now, Veron took his phone and called a number. It was someone he thought he would never talk with again.“Veron,” Charlie Wiles, the CEO of the Legion Mercenaries, called. “It has been a long time, huh? What do you need this time?”“I have to ask you for a favor,” Veron replied.“A favor?” Charlie raised an eyebrow. “If it is about our operations, I’m sorry, but I need to decline. You know that we can’t take clients in other countries other than Colossia, right?”“I know that. You are not taking me as a dumb person, aren’t you?” Veron shot back, his voice laced with irritation now. “I need someone I trust to do this task for me, and I’m willing to pay any amount you want for it.”“Any amount, huh? Talking to rich people is different.” Charlie chuckled on the other line, yet he became serious afterward. “But alright, deal. What is it that you want me to do?”“I want you to find Correl Ferremento’s location and kill him,” Veron commanded, his tone s

    “Carson,” Damian called as his eyes darkened in anger. “It is you, isn’t it?”“If you are asking about the new CEO of this company, yes. It’s me,” Carson answered, smirking, as he placed the documents he brought to the table. “Why? Are you surprised that a person who was once a happy-go-lucky like me would be chosen to replace you?”“Why would I be surprised if you planned everything for this to happen?” Damian shot back, the annoyance evident in his tone. “Seeing you in front of me now just strengthens my hunch. It was you who messed up with the data. How could you?”Carson’s smirk widened. He didn’t answer. Instead, he stood proudly in the middle with his arms folded.“I’m not here because of the shitty things you accuse me of, but because I have given the board of directors a proposal strategy that you can’t provide.” Carson slid the document in front of Damian. “Here. Look at this.”Damian didn’t move at first, but a few seconds later, he took the folder and looked at its contents

    “Young master,” James, whom Damian called, answered on the other line. “Young master Carson is still doing his old routine; working in his office the whole day and going home afterward.”“How certain are you?” Damian asked.James’ brows furrowed, but he still answered in a polite tone, “I’m always monitoring him, young master. I didn’t even let him out of my sight.”“I know, but something might have happened that slipped your notice,” Damian said, his tone low and serious. “The Ferremento Corporation is in chaos right now, and I’m sure Carson is involved with it. I need you to think carefully.”James obliged. The tip of his brows pressed harder on each other upon recalling the surveillance, and his lips widened as he remembered something.“There was one incident. A few days ago, Miss Ava Medivien bumped into me and caused a commotion. For a moment, I lost sight of young master Carson’s office,” confessed James. “But it was only for a few seconds.”“And that is the only amount of time t
