Everyone in the hall felt a sense of mixed feelings. One couldn't decipher if it was fear, despair or horror. It felt like doomsday and the only question in all their hearts was, 'Is this the end?'

"Are we all just going to wait here for death to come?" A member of the Gray's family questioned.

Kian had promised them that on his parents' next death anniversary, he was going to make them all assemble and repent of their sins. After that, he was going to write inscriptions on his parents' tombstones with their blood.

The deadline was fast approaching. It was almost time. Is this how they would all perish?

"No," Thomas Sinclair slammed a palm on the desk. "I refuse to sit here and wait for my death sentence. There must be a way... There must be a way out."

No matter what the problem is, there is always a solution. Although Thomas spoke resolutely, he was trembling. He was usually more calm and composed than his friend, Jonathan.

But after how everything had turned out, he coul

    Kian stroked his chin and gave Savannah a mischievous smile. "We can't change the fact that he is a boy but there is something that can be done.""Uh?" Savannah was confused for a minute but then she remembered what she had just mumbled and felt a bit embarrassed that he had heard her.Nothing could have prepared her for his next words. "How about we make another baby? A girl instead so you can have someone to go on fun rides with."Savannah's jaws dropped and she looked at him speechlessly. But she quickly regained her composure and gave him a cold glare."Don't talk so much nonsense. Who wants to have a baby with you?"Although she was looking at him as if she wanted to kill him, her ears and face were flushed red. And after she finished speaking, she turned around and fled, wanting to stay as far as possible from him.Kian shook his head and chuckled. He stepped behind Noah just as a red laser beam hit him.The boy removed his goggles and dropped the laser gun. Looking around, he

    "Just trust me," Master Caldwell laughed like he wasn't about to commit the biggest error in the world.Savannah attempted to speak again when Kian suddenly pulled her back. "It's his painting. He knows what he's doing."She was momentarily distracted and her hold on the old man loosened.SPLATTER!The old man seized the opportunity and splashed the black paint on the canvas. Savannah's eyes widened in horror and she cringed, almost wanting to cry. The painting was definitely ruined now.But something surprising happened. When master Caldwell stepped back, the couple could see clearly that instead of staining or ruining the painting, the dark liquid slid off, leaving no blemish behind."What? How is this even possible? How..." Savannah was astonished.Master Caldwell's smile only grew wider. "Not only that... Watch this."He picked up an oil paint this time and smeared it on the surface of the painting but just like before, the oil also flowed down, leaving no stain behind."Unlike ot

    "Other people value wealth but that tycoon is different," Kian gave them a reassuring smile. "What he cares about the most is his reputation and connections. If he invests the required quantity of Celestium in your gallery and the exhibition is a great success, his reputation will also skyrocket." Savannah's eyes sparkled with excitement and she rushed forward with an expression that showed that she was having a hard time controlling her emotions. "Can you really convince him to make the investment? Will he agree?" Kian stroked his chin and pretended to think about it for a minute before nodding, "I can give it a try. If he decides to invest or not is up to him." "There is still hope," Savannah's happiness was undeterred. If Kian could really convince that billionaire tycoon to invest Celestium in her gallery, then more paintings like Timeless Beauty could be produced. When that happens, it will take the art industry by storm and her gallery is bound to climb heights. Mast

    "Huh?" Wesley was confused. He has followed Kian for years but till date, some words the general say are like riddles. "Do you want to go fishing?" Kian wasn't offended by his slow-witted words and nodded, "Yes. I'll go human fishing." Wesley's eyes finally widened in understanding. If the general says human fishing, this means there was going to be blood. "Before, I was going to deal with the Blackwood's family in Cascadia after handling the pests in this city, but now, it seems I'll have to alter my plan. This time, I'll go after the main Sinclair's family first... What do you think?" Kian's smile widened with a hint of eeriness. Since the Gray's family planted Oscar in the gallery to keep tabs on him, those two old geezers must not have given up and still wanted to fight to the end. But he had already cut off all their means of help in Valoria Prime. So naturally, their only source of help would be to turn to Sinclair's family in Cascadia. "General, I understand what yo

    The hall was silent. Mauro breathed in deeply before lifting up his face. He swept a gaze around the trembling men in the hall and stood. Raising two fingers, he told them, "You have just two days to find out who that man is... Just two days." Some of the men already began to nod when he suddenly added, "If none of you can provide substantial information, don't bother to show up in front of me again. Just go and jump off the bridge!" The heavily built men in the hall cowered at his words. They understood the underlying meaning of his statement. In order words, he was asking them to commit suicide which was a better choice than dying in his hands. Without needing a soothsayer, they all turned around and quickly scampered away. Their time was counting down. Mauro sighed and rubbed his aching temple. "I have no idea why I pay those fools so much and yet they can't do something so simple. How hard is it to find the identity of someone in my own city?" ___________ Thomas Sincl

    The next day in front of Radiance Gallery was an astounding sight. Three heavy trucks headed into the storage facilities of the gallery. Kian, Savannah, Oscar and master Caldwell were watching them carefully. There was a look of astonishment on their faces, well except Kian. Savannah could hardly refrain from dropping her jaws. Just yesterday, Kian had assured her he was going to convince that billionaire tycoon and even get them supplies of Celestium pigments. Although she was slightly convinced by his confident words, inwardly she was a bit scared that he might just be bluffing. Not to mention, he even managed to convince that tycoon so quickly. But now as she watched these heavy trucks head to the storage facilities, she was momentarily dazed. BUZZ! The door of a storage room opened and the first truck drove in. Everyone watched in anticipation as the truck stopped and prepared to offload. They subconsciously held their breath as the truck driver shifted gears. The du

    In a blink of an eye, some days had passed by quickly and it was almost half a month. Radiance Gallery was finally ready for the exhibition. It was the first public event the gallery would hold after the previous auction scandal.However, the gallery quickly ran into another trouble. Although they had already advertised the exhibition date, the number of the people that signed up was low.Savannah was currently staring at the register file the receptionist submitted to her. She rubbed her aching temple and sighed heavily."President," Oscar called out in a low tone. "If this continues, by the day of the exhibition, we may have more losses than the profits estimated."Savannah buried her face in her palms. She didn't need to be told twice. The exhibition was just two days away yet the number of the expected attendees isn't even up to fifty people. She could see the failure sign blaring in front of her. It seemed people were still wary of their gallery especially after the previous sca

    Savannah couldn't sit still any longer and stood up abruptly. "Are you certain about what you are saying? Did you confirm it wasn't a prank call?" "President, I already carried out my investigation before calling you. Laurence Whitmore's official Tweeter page has announced it." Savannah no longer doubted the receptionist. She trembled with joy and instructed immediately, "Give them a positive answer immediately and make the necessary arrangements. This is a golden opportunity. Nothing must go wrong. We can't afford to mess up Laurence Whitmore's birthday banquet." "I understand, president. Nothing will go wrong," The receptionist assured and hung up the call. When Savannah dropped the telephone, she couldn't contain her joy. She walked around the table and told Oscar, "Mr Garcia, you don't need to worry about the exhibition anymore. It has been sorted out. Laurence Whitmore is going to hold his seventieth birthday right here in our gallery, during the exhibition." Oscar

    "Go and prepare the other ammunition," Margaret turned to the salesman, obviously in a foul mood. "In an hour, we'll head out.""What about this guy..." The salesman pointed at the barely conscious Kian. "Let him be," Margaret waved her hands impatiently and sneered. "He's already in this state. It's impossible for him to run now."The salesman nodded helplessly then hurried to carry out her instructions. Together, they checked their ammunition, completely ignoring Kian.The latter laid on the ground with his eyes closed.

    The knife aimed at Kian's forehead halted midway as the phone's chimes filled the serene environment. Margaret hissed and dropped the knife as she reached into her pocket to retrieve the phone that was ringing.It was a disposable phone that she had gotten on a whim. It has never rang since the whole trouble started so Margaret was confused about who would be calling her and how they got her private number.Various thoughts flashed through Margaret's mind as she looked at the unknown number displaying on the phone screen. But just when the call was about to end, Margaret held her breath and answered the call."Margaret, do you want to escape a death sentence?"

    On a small ship not far away from Jeju island, Ian Sinclair laid comfortably on a chaise longue. He seemed to be in a merry mood, sipping wine and enjoying a massage from two sexy, scantily dressed women.He was watching everything that was playing out at Jeju island on a big tablet in his hand. When he saw Kian dragged into the island with life threatening injuries, he smoked a pipe happily.Kian was so badly injured it was evident he wouldn't survive! Haha! Until those criminals decide to take his life, he is currently useless and is like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered!Ian smiled smugly.

    At the cave, Margaret was acting all gleeful. She knew waiting to see what happened would be worth it! That bastard couldn't hold on any longer and finally compromised. Very good!She casually tossed the gun in her hand and looked at Savannah whose face was ugly. Resentment flickered in her eyes as they darted to the three people sitting helplessly.Killing these three and then taking Kian's life would be the perfect revenge. But to think of it, will Kian really not retaliate like he promised? She doesn't believe that! However, he already promised. Seeing that, she couldn't touch his bottom line. Since her initial goal was Kian, what did it matter if she let Savannah and the others go?If she is able to kill Kian, it doesn't matter at all. Thinking of this, Margaret no longer hesitated and directly waved at the last salesman that had remained with her."Take them out but don't release them until you have captured that bastard!"The salesman's face visibly stiffened and he cursed inwa

He doesn't want to see any of them ever get hurt.But now, Margaret was holding them captive and their lives were in danger. What if Margaret or her accomplices couldn't resist and hurt one of them? What if he really underestimated Margaret and after the four hours ultimatum he has given her, she doesn't release them? Kian's face was as calm as the sea but his heart was in turmoil. More thoughts flooded his mind, adding to his anxiety.Time passed by slowly and within a blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

    "Sister-in-law, five years ago, you remember what became of the Blackwood's family. Kian was set up and falsely accused. He had to go to jail and even forcefully sign a divorce that gave away all his assets to Sinclair's family. My aunty and uncle couldn't handle what had become of their son so they committed suicide," Vivienne began to speak; her eyes tearing up.Savannah was silent. She hadn't known much about the Sinclair's family years ago because she had been embroiled in troubles of her own. As a matter of fact, Kian had been the cause of her woes. But hearing Vivienne's words caught her off guard. How did she never know about all this? Perhaps, she had been so filled with hatred for Kian that she didn't pay attention to any news concerning him."Even Kian was sentenced to death. That day, my father had rescued him from the death gallows and brought him home. I have never seen anyone as battered and broken as him. Sister-in-law, his legs had been broken almost rendering him cri

The back of his clothes quickly turned red with blood.His eyes widened in despair and he tried to take another step in an attempt to escape but—BANG!"Ah!" Savannah shrieked as the manager dropped to the ground weakly and limp. The other salesmen who saw what happened were shocked and frightened!"Margaret, how dare you?!""You crazy bitch! We won't spare you!""We won't spare you!"THWIP!Margaret's eyes were cold and fierce as she pulled the trigger again without any hesitation. THWIP!THWIP!Low gunshots rang out and the salesmen fell to the ground. The last salesman beside Margaret silently took out a knife from his pocket. Walking over briskly, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand repeatedly, fiercely stabbing his colleagues with a crazed look.SPLAT!Blood splattered everywhere and the figures on the ground trembled violently until there was no life in them anymore.

    Earlier when Mauro called, one of the things he had revealed was that the person behind the abduction of Savannah and others was Margaret.Kian's men had not been able to uncover the identity of the abductor yet because she had cleaned up her tracks pretty well.It was Mauro's investigation that revealed that Margaret is the one behind the kidnapping. Not only that, she was also the one that orchestrated the entire scandal.Kian was livid beyond imagination. That stupid woman. How many chances has he given her to live? Yet, she does not cherish her life. This time, she will pay for all her sins."Wesley," Kian turned to the people behind him. "Gather everyone and evacuate all the tourists.
