Inside the lounge, in a dimly lit VIP room, three men sat around a round table giving toasts to themselves and downing shots.

Two of them were middle-aged men.

The one who sat at the head of the table was wearing a white turtleneck with a gold chain dangling around his neck, a Rolex on his left hand, and a coat made with leopard hair around his shoulder.

Half of his face was covered with a thick, full, and long gray-colored beard.

The second middle-aged man, on the other hand, was just wearing a brown t-shirt and an expensive diamond necklace.

He was clean-shaven and would hold his shot glass with both hands whenever the man with the full beard poured him a drink.

The third one among them was Manager Khan. He had taken off his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt.

And just like the other two, his diamond necklace remained on his neck. He also held his shot glass with both hands whenever the man with the thick beard poured him a drink.

    Khan knew how strong and heavy those men were because he had tried to wrestle them playfully a few times and never won. Yet, a man who was as lanky as him toppled them on each other with ease. Although he hadn't seen Ethan do it, but what else could've happened. "Wh-what? Don't just stay lying down. Get up and deal with this bastard!" He yelled at the hefty anxiously from where he stood. However, Ethan had knocked them unconscious. As a result, Khan didn't get a response from them. A chill ran down his spine and he shivered when Ethan suddenly glanced at him, subconsciously taking a step back in retreat.Ethan locked eyes with him and said blankly, "Go tell your boss what happened here." Khan was overwhelmed with extreme fear and dread that he didn't know when he nodded to Ethan's words and hurriedly rushed into the lounge. He ran and didn't stop until he got to the VIP room. He pushed the door open and stopped in front of them panting heavily. After he was done catching his b

    Vinny Deluca smirked and butted in haughtily, "I'd listen to your mother-in-law if I were you." "He's the goodfornothing husband of Chloe William? He's literally a piece of trash. I can't believe someone like him frightened me so much." Khan Patel gritted his teeth and said underneath his breath. If news got out that Ethan Black sent him running with his tails in-between his legs, both his friends and rivals would mock him with it. How could he let someone who embarrassed him so much go scott free. With that thought, Khan inched closer to Vinny and whispered into his ears, "Mr. Deluca, have you heard of the William family before?" Vinny didn't turn to look at him as he nodded, "Who in Springdale hasn't heard of the William family? They've been climbing the social and economic ladder ever since they signed a contract with Astoria Corporation." Khan nodded immediately. "You're right, sir. In case you haven't heard, the most beautiful woman in Springdale is from the William family.

    His pause was just for a moment. He was about to deliver the hit when Matilda suddenly appeared beside him and began hitting him on the arm, yelling, "Didn't you hear him? He's called Daniel Voltia and he's probably on his way here." "If Daniel Voltia comes and sees you assaulting his relative, he might blame the William family and come for us." "If you know what's good for you, let go of Mr. Deluca right now and apologize to him for how you've badly you've behaved today!" "If you beg him enough and he forgives you, he might talk Daniel Voltia out of hurting our family in any way in retaliation for what you did to him." "If not for anything, do this for Chloe. She'll be the most affected." Like she expected, her last sentence made him rethink. He halted his action and stared down at Vinny blankly. Anyone could see he was actually hesitating on what to do. Seeing this, Vinny sighed in relief thinking Ethan had finally realized the gravity of what he had done. "Why are you stil

    Daniel momentarily froze. Now that he was close-up, he could make out Ethan's side profile. He's heartbeat quickened when Ethan spoke and he confirmed it was really him.Today, Daniel had gotten some new recruits and decided to take them out to show them what was done to people who went against him. However, never did he imagine he was taking them out to beat the man he owed his life to. One of the recruits, hot blooded as ever, failed to realize the state of shock his boss was in and waved his steel pipe threateningly in Ethan's face. "Are you out of your mind? How dare you address Mr. Voltia so casually? I will cave your head in with this pipe!""He's even standing with his back to Mr. Voltia? Doesn't that mean he's not acknowledging our boss' presence? I've never seen anyone so eager to die like this man." "Mr. Voltia, he's the man bothering your relative, isn't he? Just give the order and we'll cave his head in right here and now!" The others stood on alert, waiting for the o

    However, he quickly shook his head at the thought, finding it impossible. "Don't be fooled by him, Daniel. He's just a loser. He's a goodfornothing who's leeching off his wife and her family. You mistook him for that person." "If you think I'm lying ask his mother-in-law and his sister-in-law. They are all here and can attest that what I'm saying is the truth." Daniel sighed and tore his eyes away from him. "Whenever you open your mouth I'm overwhelmed with the urge to just kill you. How could a person be this daft?" Vinny still refused to get the hint. "I don't know what he has told you, but I want you to believe me. I'm telling you the truth. If he told you he's that person, his lying. I'm telling you. Don't be fooled by him." Daniel tightened his grip on Vinny's hair and slapped him across the face. "Shut up! I gave you one instruction. Just one and you failed at it woefully." Vinny grimaced and swore, "I swear to you that I've been on my best behaviour and I also swear to y

    Springdale Police Station Henry Button sat solemnly in one of their cells. He would get up and bang at the protector whenever an officer was passing by and yell, "My uncle knows Daniel Voltia. If you would just let me call Daniel Voltia with your phone I assure you you'll get $100,000 once I'm out of here. I promise you." Most of the officers he said this to were tempted, but Daniel was a dangerous person none of them wanted to involve themselves with in anyway. "You over there, someone has paid for your bail." Henry's eyes snapped towards the female officer who said that and then at the person who was being referred to. He got up and walked to the protector and spoke to the officer. "Do you have a phone with you? Please let me use it and I assure you I'll give you $100,000 when I'm out of here." The officer raised her head to look at him and snickered. "So you're the one who's offering that to every officer who comes in here."Henry nodded vigorously and flashed her a smile. "

    Just like Adam said, Stellar Corporation was visited by people from Astoria Corporation the very next morning.Adam, who was the Chairman of the company and Lewis who was the Managing Director both penned down their signatures on the empty space provided for them on the contract agreement.This they did after taking some minutes to go through the contract. After they were done with the signing, they walked the people from Astoria Corporation out."Please make sure our greeting gets to Chairman Haworth." Adam said, shaking the men once again. "It will." The men nodded, got into the car they came with and drove off. Adam and Lewis turned around and walked back into the building. As they walked to their separate offices, a middle-aged man suddenly stepped forward and dropped to his knees in front of Adam and Lewis. He looked up at them and said with a grateful smile, "I never believed a time would come when our family would soar this high. The William family really has you two to th

    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

    Knowing he was the most influential person in Wexford at the moment, Ethan hadn’t cleared out the restaurant since it’d attract attention. But a quick glance around the restaurant and Fitzroy and Annie Ashworth found the group they were looking for. However, they didn’t take another step forward and performed a practiced salute with a serious look on their faces. This sudden action of theirs stunned the other customers.“Who are those and what are they doing?” “Is it some kind of ritual? Or are they filming a movie? I don’t see a camera anywhere though.” “That salute… are they in the army? Does that mean there’s a high ranking army official in our midst right now?” “No way! I heard the Commander is in Wexford. Could they be saluting him? Does that mean he’s in the same room as me?” “Hey, that is too far off. Look at their clothes. It doesn’t look ordinary. That insignia, isn’t that the royal family’s?” “What do you know? Don’t you know members of the royal family of Wexford se

    Because the top men the Wellington family controlled never came out unless it was a serious situation, Declan had Marvin Phelps send his best men to protect him. With the dozens of men crawling around every inch of his home, he finally felt at ease.That evening, Butler Ambrose walked into the living room to remind him of something. “Master, your date with Annie Ashworth of the royal family is in one hour. Do you have any orders for me?” Declan unhurriedly patted the armrest, a thoughtful look on his face. Ever since his father fell into coma, they had been talks. And he could feel the resolves of the families backing them wavering. But after using Marvin Phelps to remind them whom the Wellington family were, they didn’t dare think of stabbing him the back. However, that bastard suddenly decided to show up and it became impossible to shut their wagging tongues. Families were now openly opposing him when they realized he kept losing to Ethan somehow.

    Wexford That evening, Declan Wellington felt cooped up at home, so he left the house to spend the day golfing with a close friend of the Wellingtons who owned a golf course. They golfed together for three hours before they got tired and drove to his house to rest. Marvin Phelps poured him a drink before asking politely, “This may be out of place for me to ask, Mr. Wellington, but you seemed out of it throughout today. Is anything the matter?” “What?” An absent-minded Declan didn’t know when he blurted out, glancing at him. Marvin Phelps sat up, now fully convinced there was something on Declan’s mind. With a serious look on his face, he cautiously continued, “What is the problem? Is anyone troubling you? Say the word and I’ll have that person’s legs crushed to bits and forcefully drag them here!” Declan raised his eyes to look at him. Even if he said nothing, his eyes lit up a little when he recalled who Marvin was. The Phelps family was headed by this man despit
