The soldiers kept their weapons and saluted him. "Greetings, Magistrate Cody!" The Wilson's family members also looked over. Some of them had witnessed how Cody acted against Edward at the Opening Night Gala that day. He has no tolerance for nonsense. He will certainly kick Savannah and the others out once he finds out about what happened. But before any of the Wilson's family members could say anything, Cody looked at them grimly. "Get out! The Wilson's family members are not allowed in here!" His words were like a huge slap on their faces. They haven't even gotten a chance to introduce themselves yet. Cody didn't pay any more attention to them and looked over. Kian was standing calmly beside Savannah and Ida. Cody's eyes shone with a glint and he quickly walked over. But before he could speak, Jasmine called him, "Magistrate Cody, they are refusing to leave with us after the soldiers have given us the instructions!" Savannah's heart trembled and she clutched something
Magistrate Cody had to part ways with Kian and his family when they got into the conference center as he had to attend to other guests. So Kian naturally led the way like he was familiar with the environment. The hall was noisy as there were a lot of people hanging around. The hall itself was decorated with the finest and most elegant designs. All of the guests in the hall were also wealthy tycoons, socialites and other influential people who were well known all over Valoria Prime. This grand scene caused Savannah and her mother to feel anxious. They walked cautiously, afraid of even touching something to avoid breaking it as they wouldn't be able to afford it. Kian smiled when he noticed their nervousness. "Relax. It's nothing. Don't overthink this," He gave Savannah's palm a gentle, reassuring squeeze. That was when she realized she had been holding his hand all along. Her face flushed slightly and she quickly snatched her hand away while giving him a nod. Even if she w
Just as the soldiers moved to apprehend Kian and his family, a fierce voice came from behind, "I dare you to take another step!" Cody walked over and the soldiers exchanged a look. They stepped back, appearing to be hesitant. Cody might not hold any power or authority in the army but he was still a powerful magistrate. They couldn't act so rashly towards him. Gabriel Steel arched a brow and sneered at Cody, "I was wondering why these people could act so recklessly. Turns out, they had the protection of the Magistrate." "What are you trying to insinuate?" Cody squinted coldly. Gabriel Steel held an important position in the army and was doing well but his rank was still lower than that of Cody's. But they were not in the same industry. Military and civilian were two different worlds so Micheal was under Cody's rule and was not intimidated. The mindset of most militants was that people who fought on the battlefields all day, killed enemies and shed blood were the powerful
"You vile human who only reason with his lower part. What do you take me for?" Savannah was irritated. Her harsh words wiped off the smug smile on Anthony Gray's face. "Dare to touch me and see if I won't cripple that thing in between your thighs!" "You..." Anthony seethed and wanted to charge forward. How dare this slut insult him? What or who gave her the courage to speak like this? She wasn't this fearless in the past. "Savannah..." Ida trembled fearfully and gently pulled her daughter. If they offended these people, they won't be able to pay the price till they are buried six feet below the ground! "Hey," Jonathan Gray cautioned his son just before he descended on Savannah and gestured for him to move backwards. Turning to others, he informed them, "We have a private matter to settle. Leave for the main hall immediately." The underlying meaning in his words was obvious. Kian and his family were going to be severely dealt with, privately! No one would even know how they will
"Do you know how your father looked when I chopped off his legs?" Orlando gave Kian a cruel grin. He was in a good mood. The Montgomery's family which was the leading force in the underground world was currently shaken and distracted because someone had dared to lay a hand on their beloved godson and even left him half dead! Well, leaving someone unable to reproduce for the rest of his life was practically killing the person. Orlando was certain his time was drawing closer and he would soon be able to usurp Montgomery's family. He just needed to find the one who was daring enough to go against Montgomery’s family. Yes, find him and get him on his side. That was the plan. "No, uncle, why don't we tell him how pitiful his father was when he watched his wife's dead body hanging to the fan with her tongue pushed out and saliva trickling just like this," Anthony laughed and made a gesture with his tongue. "Did you know there was a rumor that your mother was pregnant from an affa
"As for me," Jonathan Gray raised a trembling finger. "I will personally make you feel hell on earth. You will beg for death when I—" Before he could finish speaking, a loud thud resounded in the room as a figure flew into the room and crashed heavily on the ground. There was silence in the room as everyone looked over. Eyes widened when they realized who it was. Gabriel Steel was lying on the floor, battered and bloody in a completely miserable state. It was a huge contrast to the man who had a face off with Magistrate Cody earlier. This Gabriel Steel was almost unrecognizable. The hearts of the Grays and Sinclairs families chilled at this scene. "Colonel Marcus!" Gabriel wobbled and got on his knees. His voice attracted people's attention to the huge man at the door. The man had distinct facial features. There was a long scar that trailed on his stern face but did nothing to diminish his attractiveness. He had striking blonde short hair and a heavily built physique that i
When Kian walked out of the lobby, his steps faltered. His eyes shook slightly as he noticed Savannah pacing back and forth anxiously. His lips curled up in a faint smile and he wondered, 'Is she worried about me?'Ever since they met each other again, Savannah has been nothing but hostile to him. Seeing the usually cold woman pacing around worriedly stirred a strange feeling in Kian's heart.As he stood quietly and watched her with a small smile, she suddenly looked up and their eyes met. He didn't miss the way her chest rose as she heaved a sigh of relief."Are you worried about me?" He walked over to her with a knowing look, but she snorted and turned her face away."Don't misunderstand me. It's quite noisy and rowdy inside. I had to step out. It was just too stuffy."Though her voice was cold and she fanned her face as if to show that the only reason she had come outside was because it was stuffy, Kian noticed the tips of her ears turning red.He decided not to pursue the matter f
"Hey, lower your voice. Don't get us into trouble," Someone from the group cautioned the person that had just spoken."Hasn't Langston always been stealing the resources of Luminary Films? He wants them out of business. Besides, that company hasn't produced any award-winning movies since it was established. They don't have any notable artistes.""Hush... Don't say that if you don't know the full story. I heard Langston wanted to buy out the company but the CEO refused and even offended him. Since then, he has been stealing away all their resources and even artistes. The old geezer even had his way with some of the female actresses and those who dared to refuse him, he tarnished their images causing Luminary Films to plunge into despair and debts.""That old man, Langston, is really a bastard. Even though he's on his third wife, he's slept with almost all his female artistes. No wonder they’re always in the limelight and at the peak."Kian's frown deepened. He wasn't knowledgeable abou
