In the heart of Stormwind City, the Blue Diamond Villa

Saturday, 7:18 p.m.

Nicolas relaxed on his king-sized bed while he browsed the internet on his cutting-edge tablet computer, which he had acquired from Nix Inc., one of the most successful technological businesses in the nation, for an extremely steep fee.

On a website designed specifically for reading books, he was in the middle of reading a web novel written by one of his favorite authors.

After a particularly long day, one of his favorite ways to wind down and relax was by reading web novels, which he found to be really enjoyable.

He was in the last six chapters of the web novel he was reading, and he was extremely interested in finding out what would happen next. This kept him quite immersed in the story he was reading on the internet.

It was at this point in the story that his phone, which was sitting on the nightstand next to his bed, abruptly rang, jarring him out of the obsession he had fallen into.

At such an event, an an

    "The four overlords of Stormwind City are getting together for a Tier S meeting!" The statement was delivered by Detective Oliver in his usual monotone manner, yet the excitement in his voice and the unusually active movement of his fingers betrayed the elation he was feeling at the time.The moment Nicolas heard the news, his already incredibly gorgeous eyes, which were as icy blue as they were penetrating, suddenly expanded just a little bit, but they quickly reverted to their usual size, and the expression that had been on his face ever since he entered the VIP lounge remained unaltered.Because of how swiftly it happened and how subtly he did it, even the sharp-eyed Detective Oliver did not see anything weird or out of the ordinary in Nicolas's reaction because the shift in his piercing blue eyes happened so quickly.In spite of this, the information that he had just obtained from Detective Oliver had caused him to be in a state of total and absolute shock.‘There will be a gather

    The scene that was in front of Nicolas caused his eyebrows to furrow and a frown to develop on his otherwise exceedingly attractive facial features. When he opened the door to his lounge, the sight that greeted him was one that he had not been anticipating seeing so soon after doing so.There was a man and a woman waiting just outside the door to his VIP lounge, and both of them were just standing there. However, that was not the reason for the crease between his eyebrows. Instead, it was the posture that they were both in at the time that caused him to develop a dissatisfied expression on his face.The two individuals were in a very close and personal position with one another. Nicolas could make out the man's lips moving hungrily as he landed wet kisses on the lady's neck, despite the dim illumination in the passageway being poor.The man in question had his lips immediately on the lady's slender neck, and Nicolas could see the man's lips moving directly on her neck.In addition to

    A pretty enraged face appeared on the young man's fairly attractive facial features at the same time as he let out a loud scream in response to a very acute pain in his cheeks.The young woman who was the target of the young man's sexual assault had her eyes wide open the entire time, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.At that precise moment, Nicolas was unconcerned with their emotions or facial expressions because his rage was all-consuming as he glared at the young man.It was pretty clear to anyone paying attention why he was fuming with rage.The young man had referred to his mother as a whore in an earlier statement.His mother, who had fended for him during his hell at the Tyris family manor. His mother, who had made sure that he never went hungry, even at the expense of her own meals.His mother, who had done everything to make sure that he had a smile on his face.Yet, someone called his mother a whore!Nicolas considered that the ultimate insult that could have

    Although Nicolas wasn’t surprised by the appearance of the hefty and burly bodyguards, he felt a lot of disdain for Zeth in his heart.The fight between them was initially a one-on-one fight. Zeth had most definitely disrespected the rules of a fair fight by introducing his bodyguards.It was an extremely pathetic move.All in all, Nicolas was unbothered. Even if their numbers were multiplied by five, he would still come out on top.“Surround him!” Zeth Argos yelled spitefully and hatefully as he pointed towards Nicolas. With a wave of his hand, the hefty bodyguards rushed forward at once, surrounding Nicolas while assuming a combat position.“You dare mess with an Argos?" one of the bodyguards yelled loudly, hoping to use his words to fall into Zeth’s Argos good books.“Not even God will be able to save you now!” another of the bodyguards yelled loudly, following in the footsteps of the first.Their words, however, caused a very large uproar among the crowd who gathered to watch the

    Without any delay, Nicolas pounced on Zeth. He was very much irritated with him right from the start, but he could not properly deal with him because he had to take care of the bodyguards he brought to back him up.However, that wasn’t the case now. He had easily taken care and dispatched his bodyguards, so there was no one standing in his way anymore.He could easily deal maximum damage to Zeth without anyone standing in his way, and to be honest, that was exactly what he was going to do.Every action one took had a consequence, and Zeth Argos was going to learn that the hard way.Nicolas took very intimidating steps closer to Zeth Argos and raised his hand to strike the scion of the Argos family, but Zeth Argos did not plan to be on the receiving end of Nicolas not so light strikes.“W-wait!” Zeth Argos called out in fear. His face and other parts of his body were throbbing painfully after being on the receiving end of Nicolas’ fists, and he did not plan on going through such an imm

    Nicolas was still fuming silently despite venting his fury on a low-life like Zeth Argos, and he was also furious about his actions towards the beautiful and voluptuous young lady and to him as well.Furthermore, the lack of response from the lady did not bode well with him at all, and it only served to make him even more furious than he already was, and his dislike for Zeth reached a whole new peak.In light of this, it was no wonder that Nicolas was very surprised at the lady’s actions. His usually stoic, handsome face now had traces of shock in it as the young lady's seductive body clung to his masculine frame.That’s right.Her response was none other than to throw herself at Nicolas.It hadn’t been more than five seconds since she threw herself at Nicolas, and Nicolas was very uncomfortable—slightly annoyed, even. However, just as he was about to push her off his body and scold her for her actions, he heard a light sniffle.The lady was crying, and into his chest at that.Nicolas

    Nicolas’ mind was blank as he drove towards his Blue Diamond Villa. This was expected, as the situation was unfolding in a direction he didn’t expect or anticipate.Mirabel sat with him in the passenger’s seat, and she was as silent as he was too.One would wonder why Mirabel was in the passenger’s seat with Nicolas and on her way to his Blue Diamond Villa, no less.This was simply because the situation unfolded in a direction he did not expect at all.Of course, Nicolas did not intend to bring Mirabel to his villa at first, and there were a lot of solid reasons why he did not want to do that.First, despite the fact that he stood up for her when facing Zeth Argos in ‘The Vase’, she was still a total stranger, and him standing up for her does not change that fact.Second, for all he knew, she could be a spy planted to monitor him, or even worse, be the agent of an unknown enemy who staged everything just to get closer to him. He knew himself well, so it was not far-fetched that he had

The best it could be called was a three star hotel, after all, it was located well in the outskirts of Stormwind city.Everything in the hotel, from the exterior of the building to the rooms in the building could be described as third class at best.The exterior of the hotel which was once stood beautifully under the reflection of the bright sun was now somewhat rundown, and completely unattractive to most of the passer-byes who considered spending the night there.The receptionist who sat at the front desk in the hotel was the perfect example of bored and disinterested, with her desk being cluttered with outdated brochures and a ringing bell that had long lost its shine.Every other facility in the hotel could be described as third class at best.The rooms were very unpleasant for a customer with uncomfortab

    Vine Lane, Stormwind City.Vine Lane was one of the numerous middle class areas in Stormwind City, with well-built houses and apartment which were also pleasantly looking occupying the neat streets of the neighborhood.There were of course several middle end cars plying the traffic regulated highway, with the residents heading to their various destinations.The walkway reserved for the pedestrians were as empty as it could be, with only a very few passerby walking occasionally across the well paved ground.The weather was a little bit sunny, but considering the fact that it was 10:21 a.m., it was nothing too serious. Moreover, from the relaxed expression on the faces of the few pedestrians, as well as the residents in the various relaxing buildings like cafés and several restaurants, this wasn’t a one-time occurrence for them, so they were pretty much used to it.The fact that it was a Saturday, which was a weekend also contributed to the calm, serene and scanty environment.Tyrese Mi
