After a few information exchanges between Harrison, Lucas, and Ava through a long-distance connection, people started to feel that the business would success.That could only mean the Sharp family would rise higher than they ever imagined.Ava Sharp received all the applause. Surely, all the investors were now more willing to invest in Sharp than in Gavin."And for everyone," Ava Sharp happily continued, "I am going to introduce to you my new partner, a very handsome man. Without him, many things could not have happened. All I can say is that we, the Sharp family, owe him so much."The crowd was once again stirred, wondering who this man could be.Jasmine, standing beside Ethan Gavin, asked, "Ethan, is it possible you made a new partnership with Miss Ava without our knowledge?""Why do you think so?" Ethan replied, his eyebrows raised in surprise."You're the most wealthy, handsome, and outstanding young man. No one else fits that description except you."Ethan was speechless, his mou
While Ava and Alex were entertaining the guests, everyone seemed eager to invest in Sharp Company.Alex appeared uncomfortable, but Ava kept holding onto his arm, making it hard for him to get away.“Accompany me for a while. My father asked you to meet someone,” Ava said quickly, finishing her conversation and leading Alex to the second floor.In the VIP lounge, Eva Sharp was talking with an older man. The man's eyes were clear and sharp, making him appear younger than his real age.Alex knew people like him possibly practiced martial arts and had learned about inner energy.As Eva noticed Alex, she turned her face away, still feigning anger toward him.“Alex, this is Kane Wood, an expert in traditional medicine and martial arts. He’s also a successful businessman in the medical industry. You can ask him anything about medicine; only the best people can use his services,” Ava said.When Lucas Sharp had fallen sick from poison, they had sought Kane out first, but he couldn’t cure Luca
Alex lowered his body with Ava behind the parked car. “Stay here, I’ll handle them,” he said, his voice firm.He stood up and yelled, “I have a gun with me, but it’s without a silencer. Do you want me to fire it and attract everyone, or do you want to settle this quietly like men with our fist?”The two men, Peter Gavin's bodyguards, both special forces from Aslan, Lee and Nico, holstered their guns and walked out.Lee sneered, “I like it when you’re confident, Empire soldier.”They approached each other, sizing each other up."So, you're the Aslan bastards who shoot people from behind. Quite the gentlemen, aren't you?" Alex taunted, addressing both of them, noting their Aslan ethic trait.“You really know how to dig your own grave, don’t you? Fucking Empire,” Lee and Nico smirked, feeling confident they could kill Alex anytime they wanted.“We don’t know whose grave I’m digging, right? Because I’ve dug two graves, just for you,” Alex replied, his eyes burning with determination.Just
While the military shooting the martial artist, Alex made his move to find Ava Sharp, who had witnessed everything from afar.“Don’t you think it’s time to get home?” Alex asked.“Sure.”They both entered the car, and Ava drove it passing the soldiers and all the chaos behind.“Alex, how come the soldiers were there?”“The citizens reported to the police that suddenly a lot of martial artists with weapon rushed at the banquet building 30 minutes ago. So, the soldiers came to prepare for the worst. Since we know each other, the leader asked me to check if anything happened inside the banquet hall and report if I found trouble.”Ava smiled and stared at Alex, her eyes full of curiosity. “Did you have to shoot Ethan’s ass? And why did the other soldiers also shoot the martial artists asses?”He smiled, “Just to make sure they couldn’t sit comfortably for a few months.”“But I think this won’t end here.”“Why?”“Peter Gavin has many connections with the military, especially with that part
The restaurant fell silent. Jasmine stepped forward, her voice trembling. "We are the White family. What do you want?"The leader of the soldiers stepped forward, a smirk on his face. "It's simple. Lily White, Rosemary White, Jasmine White—three of you are coming with us."The big family that had been trying to get closer to them suddenly stepped away as if the three of them were carrying a contagious disease.Lily's mother gasped, clutching Lily's arm. "Officer, what is the meaning of this?"“What is your name?” the officer asked.“Rosemary,” she replied.“Then who are Lily and Jasmine?” The soldiers could clearly see the uneasy glances from the other people directed at the three women nearby.“What is all of this about?” Rosemary asked again, her voice filled with anxiety.“We got a report that three of you have been collaborating with Aslan. You are accused of being spies planted by Aslan. Come with us to assist in the investigation, or we will have to force you,” the officer decla
“Ethan!” Lily yelled in panic. “Please help my mother, she’s bleeding!”Kevin, a grizzled, weather-beaten man with a cruel glint in his eye, turned to his soldier. “Henry, is the wound serious?”Henry, a man as cold as the steel he wielded, replied dismissively, “No, I just grazed her thigh. She’s overreacting.”Kevin nodded, his lips curling into a sinister smile. “Go bandage her, and you can have her in the room. Remember you only have an hour.”Henry’s eyes gleamed with perverse delight. “Alright, she’s quite old, but I like older women.”He walked back to the middle of the group and grabbed Rosemary, throwing her over his shoulder with a callous laugh.Rosemary, frail and terrified, struggled weakly against his iron grip, her cries for help falling on deaf ears.“What are you doing?” Lily panicked, her heart pounding in her chest.“I’m going to treat her wound inside the villa,” Henry said, his voice dripping with mockery as he moved with Rosemary, who tried to fight him but to no
About an hour ago, before the soldier kidnapped Lily and the others, Alex was at the hotel room arranging the war strategy with Aslan, when he received a call from Lavinia."Sir, we have hacked into Ethan, Lee, and Nico’s smartphones while they are in jail. Whenever they use their phone, we will hear it.""Then find a way to let the fishes back to ocean," Alex said."We got a report that Peter Gavin is giving Lieutenant Colonel Kevin the task to free them.""Alright, use that chance to let them go."But after a few minutes, Lavinia called him again. "Sir, Ethan just called Lily, and from our tapping, we heard Ethan was going to kill Lily and the family to lure you there and kill them. What should we do?""Give me their location."Lavinia sent the tapping device's GPS coordinates, and Alex quickly prepared himself with his gun.As he walked out of the hotel on the sixth floor, the first floor was a plaza.In that place, he found a completely brand-new big sports motorcycle and appear s
Lieutenant Colonel Kevin felt a splitting headache coming on.He had been thoroughly enjoying his intimate time with Jasmine and was on the very brink of climaxing when Ethan abruptly burst into the room, yelling frantically that someone had hit him and taken Lily away.It was supposed to be just a few more push and pull until he reached orgasm, but the sudden interruption caused Jasmine and him to lose the moment they were searching for an hour.Really a headache and heartache.Ethan also kicked open Henry and Rosemary's room door, finding them in the middle of their own intimate fun.Rosemary glanced at Ethan and asked, "Do you want to join us for a threesome?"Ethan looked at Rosemary's body and gulped, "Maybe later.""Let's do it now," Kevin said eagerly, rushing toward Rosemary, but Ethan quickly grabbed him."This isn't the right time. We need to find out who hit me and took Lily away."Finally, Ethan, Kevin, Jasmine and Rosemary sat around the table, each lost in their own thou
