"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
"Kian," Savannah stood up and looked down at his hand anxiously. Although Langston was a despicable man, his influence was not lesser than that of the Grays and Sinclairs. It was unwise to go against him like this. She tugged at his sleeve, silently pleading with him to let go. Reluctantly, Kian released his grip. "Ow!" Langston howled in pain, clutching his wrist. He could barely feel his hand. This bastard was looking a bit scrawny but his grip was surprisingly so strong. Besides, Savannah was standing so close to him. "Hey! Whose family son are you? How dare you act so audaciously?" One tycoon banged his palm on the table and pointed at Kian. Langston, who was still nursing his injured wrist, demanded, "Do you know him?" His eyes bore into Savannah. "He..." Savannah looked at Kian and was lost of words. She appreciated Kian stepping in to defend her, but she wasn't ready to reveal their relationship to these people. "She's my woman," Kian pulled her closer, leaving no
Outside the Imperial Summit Pavilion, Jasmine hurried to the waiting SUV, her smile wide and triumphant. As she slid into the back seat, her family leaned in, eager for news. "Elder sister, were you able to report them successfully?" Penelope's eyes were gleaming with anticipation "What do you expect?" Jasmine's smile widened, full of pride. "Turns out, my former coursemate is now a Major in the military." "Wow. That bastard Kian won’t stand a chance against such power," Penelope clapped excitedly. "Exactly," Jasmine's eyes sparkled. "Magistrate Cody tried to protect them, but Gabriel confronted him head-on. He said even if the president himself showed up, he wouldn’t be able to save those low lives." Grandfather Wilson and Edward Wilson exchanged pleased looks, their faces brightening at her words. Sensing their satisfaction, she continued, her voice tinged with mock regret. "Even the Grays and Sinclairs showed up. Seems like that scum Kian offended them too. I really can’t un
"His clothes seem to be the same as that scum," Edward's voice trembled when the camera lingered around the mysterious tycoon on the television but still didn't show his face. The entire Wilson's family must have held their breath in shock as they had the same weird thought. Could the tycoon be— How is that possible?! It just doesn't add up. At the same time on the live broadcast showing on the television, the tycoon stepped on the podium. Slowly, he lifted his head and smiled. The camera zoomed in as he addressed them politely, "Congratulations to everyone who managed to attend this bidding event." "Kian?!" Someone from the Wilson's family shrieked. "My goodness!" "How is this possible?" "How can the mysterious tycoon that took Valoria Prime city by storm be this lowlife?!" "Am I dreaming? Someone wake me up!" The Wilson's family were shocked and unable to move. Well, not everyone... Douglas was staring at the television screen with a thoughtful expression. He w
