Victor Voss paused for a split second then swung the golf club at Scott William again.Scott's face forcefully tilted to the side, and another deep cut appeared on his face, just beside his mouth."Please, Mr. Voss, give me more time, and I swear to you that I won't fail you. If I fail you, then you are free to do whatever you want with me!" Scott frantically begged, sputtering out a mouthful of blood as he spoke.Victor glanced at Scott's desperate, bloodshot eyes for a moment and chuckled to himself."Even without your promise, I know you will bring back my money. What I'm doing right now is to ensure you don't take too long.""Whenever you look in the mirror and see the cuts on your face, you'll remember what will happen to you if I find you and you don't have my money."He was getting ready to swing the club at Scott again when one of his men voiced out behind him, "Pardon me for the interruption, Mr. Voss, but this man came in four hours ago.""He claimed to be an amateur, but he

"Unlike poker, it'll take you a while to learn how to play Craps. Do you still want to continue playing, or should we get down to why you're here?" Victor Voss spoke up after several minutes went by with Ethan losing to him.Ethan, whose turn it was to roll the dice, paused and slowly juggled the dice in his palm."I was going to come to that. It's late already. Why don't you tell me how much my father-in-law owes you, and I'll pay off his debt in his place?"Victor met Ethan's eyes and chuckled in amusement. "Why do you think I lent 200 million dollars to a drunkard like Scott William?""Because he begged you for it," Ethan responded with a straight face.Victor leaned on the table and exhaled calmly."He did beg for it, but I don't just give loans to people because they beg. I give loans to people who I know will repay me when the time comes with the interest I told them it'd have.""From what I hear from my people, Scott William waa kicked out of his family recently, but even when

Daniel Voltia fixed his eyes on Victor as he walked towards Ethan.He got to Ethan and stopped behind him without a word.Victor's men, who knew very well who Daniel was, all placed their hands on the side of their waist, right where their revolver was.The ten men Daniel walked in with weren't left out as they did the same.The air in the room stiffened, and the tension heightened with hostility as the two rival groups glared at each other with bloodshot eyes."Daniel, a surprise to see you in my establishment," Victor was the first to break the suffocating silence as he stared distrustfully at Daniel.Daniel flashed Victor an insincere smile as he said, "A wise man once told me it's not right not to visit an establishment simply because of a history with its owner."Victor was silent for a moment before he shrugged, "This wise man, he's dead, isn't he?"Daniel shook his head and spread his arms a little, smiling a little too broadly, "Not at all. He's as healthy as a man needs to be

Victor's hand suddenly went for his throat, gripping it tightly. The golf club slowly slipped out of his grip, and he wrapped both hands around his throat.The middle-aged man was astounded to see his master gasping for breath out of the blue. Victor had no breathing problem. In fact, he had quite a healthy medical record."Sir, are you okay? Wh-what can I do to help?" He hurried to Victor's side, stuttering in confusion..Victor weakly gripped him by the shoulder to stabilize himself as he suddenly lost his footing and stumbled backward.Victor was tall and huge. His right-hand man, on the other hand, was only of average height with a lean stature.Supporting the heavy Victor was too difficult, so he slowly let him fall to the ground but gasped and stepped backward when their eyes met."S-sir?"On a normal day, Victor's eyes were often bloodshot because of how much he drank, but that didn't stop his right-hand man from seeing the little streaks of blood trickling into his now bulging

Ethan pushed his chair backward and straightened up majestically, his icy gaze pinned on Victor. Then he slipped his hands into his pockets and hummed in reply, "There will be cutting, but that'd be later." "So, Victor Voss, you like violating people's wives and daughters so much, don't you?" Victor subconsciously took a step backward. He was smart enough to know what was going on and the grave danger he was in. Ethan easily manipulated him into thinking he was suffocating, and this man with him could move without being detected. Unless a savior intervened, going head to head with Ethan would be a very bad decision. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, recalling how he had belittled Ethan and the numerous threats he made. Left with no choice, he glanced around him, taking in the faces of everyone in the room. "You all know the Wellingtons, don't you? You know how powerful they are. I'm not just the owner of a gambling establishment.""I'm tight with the heir to the Wellington

Their eyes widened in horror, and it was the last expression on their faces as they all dropped to their knees the very next second and stopped breathing.Victor saw this scene and was gripped with intense fear. He immediately forgot the sort of man he was and weakly gripped Ethan's leg, begging."Pl-please, let me off this one time and I will repent! Please!"Ethan smiled as if he had just heard a joke."Really? You love killing so much, but it seems to bother you when you're not the one doing the killing. You really bother me."Victor swallowed nervously and raised his swollen eyes to look at Ethan. "I've done many bad things, all of which I promise to rectify if you give me a second chance at life."Ethan felt something wet and warm on his leg and lowered his eyes to see Victor's shoulders trembling. He was crying."How many of the women you raped then killed begged you like this? How many of them begged you like this not for you to let them off, but for you to do whatever you want

News that the Reese family had offended the Lauthner family traveled like a whirlwind in Springdale, and in less than an hour, all the allies they had called to say they no longer wanted anything to do with them."Mr. Winchester, the Reese family assures you our current dilemma will have no effect on what we already have going on. You can rest assured—""Mr. Kent, be assured that your company won't suffer any loss. Even if you do, the Reese family will take responsibility for it. We beg that you be patient—""The Reese family apologizes for—""We will try our utmost best to—"Andy and other members of the Reese family called every one of their allies trying to calm them down, but each person they called ended the call as soon as they realized it was the Reese family.A message came into Andy's phone, and the corners of his eyes twitched.He turned off the screen of his phone and looked up at Hermes Reese."The bank is already messaging asking for their loans back. We were long overdue

Hermes' face squeezed up in pain as the men from the Lauthner family pulled him out of his wheelchair and shoved him roughly to the ground.A pair of black leather shoes appeared in Hermes' eyes, and he clenched his jaw tightly.Before he could say anything, he was pulled up from behind, his crippled legs hanging around.Now face to face with the familiar, wrinkled, and aged face but authoritative and cold eyes belonging to Hamon Lauthner, Hermes didn't know when he swallowed down a mouthful of saliva."You ungrateful bastard. The Lauthner family has been by your family's side for as long as I can remember. All we've done is provide support for you and your ungrateful family from generation to generation, and what do we get in return?""Betrayal!" An enraged member of the Lauthner family spat out from behind him."Did we not do enough for you? Did we not provide enough men for you? Did we not give your family enough money?"Ignoring the pain he was feeling on his face, Hermes' cheeks

Ethan left the cleaning up of the Wellington family to his men while he boarded a plane and flew back to Springdale with his family.The mayor was waiting to welcome them once they arrived. Since they had just endured a hectic day, Ethan drove a tired Chloe and a sleeping Honey to one of his condos.After tucking them in, he left the room to the living room where the mayor was. “I kept my eyes on the William family like you asked. Lewis William has been unconscious ever since you left.”“Currently, every member of the family is gathered at the hospital he’s at. Would you like me to take you there, Commander Black?”Ethan scoffed lightly, “Since when did a mayor become my personal driver?”The man grimaced and lowered his eyes to the floor, “Even the President would become your driver if he could.”Ethan simply took the keys from him and left the house, instructing the him to remain with his family until he returned.Getting outside, he spent a few seconds familiarizing himself with h

Unable to use either of his arms, Declan curled into a ball, rolling around in pain as he lashed out bitterly.“You think the Wellington family will let this slide? I’m the head of this family! If anything happens to me, they’ll hold you accountable, you crazy punk!”Ethan turned, picked up another vase, and dropped it near Declan’s foot with a shrug.“You’ve done nothing but cause them panic. You’re so unstable with your decision-making that they fear you’ll drag the family into ruin just to fund one of your whims.”“In fact, I’m quite sure they’ll thank me for getting rid of you. Anyway, enough talk about them.”“Once I’m done crippling you, you’ll be reduced to nothing, bound to a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”“Hopefully, you’ll use what’s left of it to reflect on how you became a cripple. Now, hand me the other leg or would you prefer I do it roughly?”Declan blinked, clenching his jaw tightly against the raging pain in his arms. “No… you wouldn’t. You’re my brother. You

In an instant, Declan’s life flashed before his eyes. He reacted like any cornered man would by moving his hand.Unfortunately for him, Ethan anticipated it. He clamped down on his wrist and twisted it away from Chloe’s neck until she could safely slip out from underneath him.Once she was out of harm’s way, he threw caution to the wind and slammed his foot down on Declan’s hand, sending the dagger flying across the balcony.“You…” Declan stumbled back in horror, his eyes flickering between Ethan and his men.With his backup now useless, he knew he was no match for Ethan.So, without thinking twice, he turned and bolted.However…Snap!“Arghh!”Kane appeared out of nowhere, grabbed him by the arm, and twisted it.Snorting, he glared at Declan. “Your jaw’s moving too freely. If you don’t shut it this instant, I’ll break it.”Supporting his broken arm with the other, Declan gritted his teeth and looked ahead.With Kane now blocking his exit, he had to think fast.After a while, he clenc

Ethan glanced at the triplets. “Can you tell what will happen now?” The triplet on red was the first to speak up. “The helmsman isn’t reliable. If you take the deal, he will run and possibly take your daughter with him as insurance and kill her once he’s gotten to safety.” Ethan flashed him a tight smile. “Since when did you start thinking for me?” The triplet blinked in trepidation, quickly lowering his eyes to the ground. “Fo-forgive me, I didn’t get what your question was about.” Ethan glanced at the other two. “Can any of you tell what will happen once I accept Declan Wellington’s offer?” The triplet on black was silent while the one on green suddenly realized it, swallowing hard. “If he leaves, we won’t be of any use to you anymore. Then… you’ll have us dig our own graves.” Ethan nodded approvingly. “Excellent! I noticed you don’t talk too much. Your intelligence must be why. So since you know that now, what do you think should be my next move?” The triplet was hesi

The triplet on black began cackling almost immediately, his eyes darting to his siblings in disbelief. “This fella, isn’t he humorous? I don’t remember the last time I laughed this hard.” His brothers hummed in agreement, crossing their arms across their chest. “Young man, you should’ve pursued a career in comedy and stayed far away from trouble. Big shame that the world will miss a talent like you.” Ethan covered his mouth and yawned. “What is this? Don’t you three know how to do anything else besides talking and more talking? Not everyone has a lot of free time on their hands.” “I, for example, cherish my time more than anything as I’d rather spend it with my family than people like you.” The triplets stared at him in amusement. “I hope your last memory of them was a memorable one then, because today, this is where you’ll be dying.” “Before we kill you, I’ll tell you the truth. Whoever taught you didn’t teach you well. Just identifying the weakness of your enemies isn’t en

Charles, Chris and Penelope froze. Kane sat up inside the crane, his eyes pinned on the elderly man with a white goatee laughing behind Ethan. “You’re already so old, when will you stop running like that?” “Let him do as he likes. He only has a few years to continue moving that fast. Might as well make the best use of it now.” Everyone turned their eyes towards the direction of the second and third voices. Ethan furrowed his brows when he saw them. Triplets? All three og them had the same shiny head and trimmed their beards into a goatee, making it impossible to distinguish who was who. The only difference between them was the color of shirts they had on which ranged from blue, red and black. The triplet who had attacked Ethan had on a black shirt and was still cackling underneath his breath. The other two stood beside him and glanced up at Declan on the balcony. As soon as he saw them, his tense shoulders relaxed and so did his grip on the blade. “You asked for us, master

As soon as his words fell, some figures darted through the men and in an instant, they were all swept off their feet. Declan didn’t see this. When he waited for several seconds and didn’t see Ethan’s body riddled with dozens of bullets, his eyes darkened and he looked down at them again, ready to lash out, but saw them all on the ground, groaning and clutching onto their stomach in pain. “Wh-what do you think you’re doing? I didn’t say to roll all over the floor, I said to waste him, you dumb fools!” However, the men were in too much pain to care about his words. Charles, Penelope and Chris took their time to kick the guns away from their reach.As Penelope walked towards a bulky man whose gun was lying at his foot, he suddenly stretched his left hand to grab her by the neck, but she caught it, slammed her foot against his chest and twisted his arm, completely destroying his rotator cuff. Cold sweat instantly formed on his forehead as a painful shriek erupted from his lung. A t

“Who’s this brazen punk?” “If he’s so bold, why’s he hiding up there?” The men murmured amongst themselves as they stepped backward. Butler Ambrose glanced at the crane. The distance between him and it made it impossible to see the face of the man sitting inside. But he didn’t need to think too hard to know who it was. From what he had seen in the past few months, only one person would dare to make such a bold entrance. “Take out your weapons. Once Mr. Wellington gives the order, waste him!” He raised his voice and ordered his men, eyes still pinned on the moving crane. The men obliged, taking out their guns and aiming it at the machine. However, Kane merely paid a blind eye to them and went ahead to uproot the gate. Instead of driving into the vicinity, he remained at the gate and elongated the crane towards them, swinging it right and left at the men. He did this until the aim of every one of them was to get to safety. Taking advantage of this chaos, three figures stealthi

In the Wellington family residenceButler Ambrose led a cautious and haggard looking Chloe to the balcony where there were chairs and table arranged in a romantic manner. Leaning back on one of the chairs, Declan Wellington had one leg crossed on the other, sipping his wine with a satisfied smile. Hearing footsteps, he raised his eyes to see who it was. The second his eyes settled on her face, his cheeks stretched into a wide smile. “Chloe, you’re here!” Chloe clenched her fists tightly beside her, her eyes falling on the dozens of men crawling around the compound. Declan instantly followed her gaze.Sensing her worries, the man leaned forward to assure her, “You don’t have to worry about them. I’ll make sure they don’t hurt you. The only reason they’re here is to make sure no harm comes to me.” Chloe turned her eyes to him, instantly realizing the kind of person she was standing in front of him. Because she was born into a power hungry family, she spent her life with people fr
