Claudia realized it was futile to shout; the bathroom corridor was quite far from the living room, especially if Martha and Rachel were on the second floor.Understandably, in a wealthy household, the size was immense.The girl was furious at Andre's behavior. Quickly wrapping herself in her white towel, she approached the motionless Andre.Slap!Slap!Feeling that two slaps weren't enough, Claudia slapped him again for the third time, with all her might.Slap!"You scoundrel! Do you have any manners at all?! You want to peep at me, huh? Answer me, or I'll report you to Mama, so security can throw you out and beat you up!?""Why peek at all? We're still husband and wife. I have the right to see your entire body," Andre replied, unfazed by Claudia's curses.Claudia couldn't believe why Andre dared to remind her of their marital status."Hey, you despicable man! Let me remind you once again, you're just a contracted husband! Enough, stop acting. Besides, we're getting divorced soon, as
"What's your business asking that?" Andre didn't seem to appreciate Alex, the taxi driver's words."Well, there's a reason! Everyone has to pay, Boss, nothing's free in this world! From your appearance, you look just like a poor person, a beggar at the traffic lights. Very similar! I'm very sure. If you don't believe me, I can take you there, match you with them!""Then?""That's it, don't act all rich when you're poor! Can you seriously pay for this? It's a very long distance! More than twenty kilometers. The fare will be expensive. I suspect you're just hitching a ride, planning to run away without paying. Don't think, just because you're big, you can do as you please!"Andre felt disturbed by Alex's chatter and chose to remain silent. However, the longer Alex was ignored, the more it infuriated Andre. Finally, Andre spoke up, glaring sharply at the rearview mirror."I'll definitely pay! If you don't believe me, let's bet, shall we?""Oh, come on, foul-mouthed one! What do you have
Although they agreed that if he couldn't pay, Andre would be urinated on, he also possessed a sense of humanity. Andre's pride as a legendary warrior seemed to diminish because of the taxi driver. He was furious. Besides not finding an Automatic Money Machine in the warehouse area, Andre was annoyed that the driver was excessively chatty and grumbling incessantly."Take me to the far end. I need an Automatic Money Machine. My cash is gone. Later, after I get the Automatic Money Machine, I can pay you more. Millions!?" Andre tried to persuade Alex, but the man didn't care. He kept unzipping his pants shamelessly, flaunting what he had to Andre."Just your tricks! Hurry up, a deal's a deal. Don't even think of trying to escape!""What? What will make you believe? Want to increase the risk, making it many times more?"Alex zipped up his pants. "Useless! I'd be the one losing if you raised the stakes! Ten slaps for me are already painful. What if it goes up to twenty or thirty?""My bet g
Andre pulled out his black card in front of Alex, then tossed his shabby wallet onto the center console of the car."Come in, wait for me in the car!" Andre seemed to give hope to Alex."What card is that? Hahaha, don't think that card can be used to pay for my expensive taxi! Cheap card, not real gold. And besides, it doesn't even have an official chip from the government!?" Andre ignored Alex's insults. He walked to the Automatic Money Machine, inserting the card along with the PIN.Almost two minutes passed with Andre inside the Automatic Money Machine, making Alex suspicious. "Hey, is he withdrawing a lot of money because it's taking so long?""Ah, impossible, even withdrawing from an Automatic Money Machine takes two minutes. Is he boasting or maybe he forgot the PIN? No. It’s impossible. The card must not be readable. Obviously, a fake card can't be read!"Alex boasted in the driver's seat. He laughed to himself, imagining Andre's anxious face.But what Alex hoped for would nev
Seeing the photo displayed on the screen, Andre was startled."T-that's...!""Kristal. I remember that girl. She's in danger! Damn it, why is it like this?! I-I-I'll never forgive myself if they manage to kidnap Kristal!"Yes, the photo that appeared on Andre's mission projector was of the eldest child of the Tatumia family, one of the wealthiest families in the capital.Kristal had her own popularity. Apart from being the eldest child of the Tatumia family, her heavenly body, along with unparalleled beauty, often got her invited to various national TV events.As a result, beauty tabloids and newspapers frequently featured Kristal almost every day, eventually ranking her as one of the top ten most beautiful models in the world, according to a famous European survey institution."Why? Why would the Black Mamba target Kristal? Are they stupid? She's a famous person. They could attract public attention. No. They wouldn't do this without a reason. There must be a secret behind this conspi
"Ah, General Zhang Ze, it's been a while since I met that bald man. How is he doing?" Andre smiled, recalling his glorious days with General Zhang Ze."He's happy; your memory has returned. But, for the time being, he has to stay abroad. Around one to two months. There's an emergency matter related to an intelligence breach in one of the superpower nations.""Okay, no problem. Don't let anyone know about your departure, including other Golden Dragon members!"While waiting, Andre tried to explore the Golden Dragon’s Third Headquarter located in the middle of the deserted warehouse.Nearly fifteen minutes of searching, he finally found his phone on top of an old shoe rack, covered in white cloth, surrounded by spiderwebs.Andre contacted Boris, one of his former subordinates in Golden Dragon, who was like a younger brother to him."Boris, it's me, Andre. Could you pick me up at Warehouse A? I need a ride to ninth district.”There was a brief silence. Boris didn't speak immediately. He
The plan to search for information about the Lucy is in danger of failing."It's all because of Claudia's presence. Damn, why is that woman here?!" Andre muttered, unable to express his anger.This time, it's a bit different.Steve didn't want to get involved in that contract marriage affair. Maybe he was scared. Maybe he was traumatized by what happened at Rika's birthday party, the leader of the Tatumia Family."What? You said you wanted a divorce, now quickly make your vows in front of all the billionaires present at this party!" Claudia raised her voice, attracting the attention of the guests.Mr. Bram, the host, didn't want his event to be ruined because of a tiny speck from the Tatumia Family.Yeah.The Bramasta Family, fourth wealthiest billionaires in the country, is much richer than the Tatumia Family, which barely made it into the twenties."Claudia, what's gotten into you? You want to ruin my sacred party? No way! Apologize quickly before I call security to throw you out!?"
Andre was confused. Black Mamba had already moved to Mr. Bram’s party. He asks Sofia to call Brody, who stands near Golden Dragon’s third headquarters, and discuss the plan they’ll take."I feel like someone is monitoring our movements. I'm not sure yet. I'm pretty convinced there's another person hiding here. They're close to us." Andre began to suspect a spy among the guests at the Bramasta Family's party."Are you referring to the slick-haired man in a suit?" Sofia whispered quietly, without turning."Yes, him. He's suspicious. His left hand keeps hidden under the jacket, as if there's a pistol ready to be drawn.""Do you think they're not just kidnapping but also aiming to kill Lucy?""Hmm, no. But wait. We don't know their motives for the crime. That means there's a possibility that the Black Mamba will target Lucy at this party, using the crowd of guests."Andre paused for a moment, pondering, then flashed back to walking through the car park. His eyes widened as he remembered t
