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

    Mirabel did not have a pretty childhood.Not at all.On the contrary, her childhood was one of the most traumatic childhoods ever, and no child should have ever been allowed to go through such a level of pain.Unfortunately that wasn’t how the world worked.Born to a family of two drug addicts as parents, she was neglected for most of her childhood.She barely ate, she was filthy as her parents were too wasted to bath her, and she did not have any sense of safety.When she was seven years old, the forces of the drug enforcement agency finally reached her parents.They were apprehended and given life imprisonment without parole, as they were not just drug addicts but also murderers.As for her, she was transported to an orphanage funded by the S foundation, a foundation founded to help the victims of drug abuse.However, this did not mean that her life became better. On the contrary, it became worse. It turned out that the S foundation which was supposed to be a haven for victims of dr

    Nicolas looked at the dining table, which was filled with a variety of meals, and the pretty young lady who was standing beside it.He kept on staring at the meals and back at Mirabel, and although the scent of the meat was very enticing and sweet-smelling, he did not feel like eating one bit.“What is going on here?” He asked in his icy tone, and although Mirabel knew that was his tone of speaking, it did not stop her from flinching in fear at his words."I thought you might be hungry, so I made something for you to eat.” Mirabel replied meekly, unable to maintain eye contact with Nicolas as she spoke.Nicolas looked at the young lady as if she were retarded.How could he eat her food?She was a stranger for crying out loud. They had only known each other for less than 48 hours. With how many enemies he had, it was a risk he could not take, not until he was 100% sure of her motive.He did not say another word to the lady, and he went back to his room.His villa was more than big enou

    Lex Argos was a very proud man.As he, Lex Argos, stood ramrod still on the elevated platform, his beady and menacing snake-like eyes scanned through the crowd of new recruits his Argos Organisation welcomed.Of course, the presence of hundreds of people in the luxurious hall was not merely for show.It was a welcome seminar where the new recruits of the underworld organisation would see their boss once in a blue moon. After this, only the talented among the lot would be able to work their way into a meeting with the boss.As Lex Argos stood still on the elevated platform, his aura that had formed naturally from his position as a leader of the underworld organisation was on full display, and although the recruits were still bowing slightly with their heads raised up, he could tell that they were very impressed by his appearance.‘Good.’‘That’s what I was aiming for.’ He thought proudly of himself, reaffirming his endless pride that he was still the feared leader of the Argos Organisa

    Lex Argos could not believe his ears.He could not bring himself to believe the words that escaped the mouth of Fred, his most trusted right hand man.He almost thought that his right hand man was playing a prank on him, but the very thought of Fred pranking him was as absurd as the sun suddenly becoming two; therefore the information he received was as true as it got, no matter how much he didn’t want to believe it.“Zeth was beaten brutally and sent to the hospital?” Lex Argos asked coldly, and this time, his full intimidating factor was out in display.Fred felt the icy anger emanating from his boss, and felt the temperature of the room becoming colder with each passing second.“According to the reports I received, yes he is.” Fred replied, but his voice was no longer as stoic as it was.Lex Argos was furious.His beloved son was beaten brutally and sent to the hospital.How bold!How impudent!How insulting!He could hardly believe that despite the ruthless and tyrant like reputat

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
