The team leader Deathly, known by the moniker Deathly Kiss, was the ace agent of the royal military intelligence.A world-class assassin with an A-grade combat rating.Expert in firearms, with a one hundred percent assassination success rate, he was the most powerful operative of the intelligence bureau in Radiant Harbor.“I think we need to report this situation back to the headquarters in the empire where the sun never sets, to reprimand him properly." Chloe said, her face showing displeasure.Without team leader Deathly's intervention, she was not certain of defeating Theophilus.“Oh? Director, I just got stuck in traffic and was a bit late, and you want to report me already? Are you perhaps too stressed?” A carefree voice rang out.A young man with blond hair, dressed in a red vest and a floral tie, sauntered into the room.“That’s right, I don’t like being called team leader Deathly, just call me Wandering Soul, it’s my latest nickname, and I think it sounds pretty cool.”The blo
Jason had a robust build, his blond hair concealing his fierce, wolf-like eyes, radiating a murderous aura with a distinct charisma.Theophilus could tell at a glance that Jason was no ordinary person.In the Western underworld, there are body modification techniques and training methods similar to Empyria's ancient martial arts, capable of enhancing human abilities beyond imagination.Clearly, Jason's overconfidence stemmed from his own formidable capabilities.“Theophilus, I really didn't expect your intelligence capability to be so strong, even accessing information from the royal military intelligence." Chloe said gravely: “Tell me who your informant is? I might let you die more comfortably.”Theophilus asked indifferently: “Is it that hard to gather information about you?”“You seem very confident. Daring to come right to our doorstep implies you're not afraid of our royal military intelligence." Chloe said: “But your actions are akin to seeking death. You greatly underestimate o
The Mortal Orchid Building.Located in the busiest central part of Phantasmagoria in Radiant Harbor, surrounded by high-rise buildings.This commercial building was already famous in Radiant Harbor, one of the iconic structures of the Phantasmagoria district.Now acquired by the foreign Latinh conglomerate, becoming the office for their Radiant Harbor branch, it had gained even more fame.This acquisition stirred the Radiant Harbor business world, abuzz with discussions. The Latinh conglomerate’s launch of numerous large-scale investment projects in Radiant Harbor for publicity had created a new trend in the business sector.Especially at this critical moment.The financial order in Radiant Harbor was in turmoil, with Gabriel, who controlled the business world, destabilized due to his conflict with a mysterious figure.The establishment of the Latinh conglomerate’s branch was seen by many in the business community as a new turning point, a fresh wind in Radiant Harbor.After all, the
Hammarby’s face was full of self-satisfaction, feeling like the main character of the opening ceremony.How dare this useless Theophilus confront him?He failed to see that all the high-society people present were on his side, speaking up for him.And Theophilus, not a single person there knew him.Clearly, Theophilus was an unknown figure in the Radiant Harbor elite circle and had no acquaintances there.Perhaps he had sneaked into the grand opening ceremony of the Cromir family's subsidiary company."Mr. Hammarby, it seems this Theophilus character doesn't want to apologize to you and your friends. Do you need my help? I can arrange for his removal as soon as he leaves the Mortal Orchid building, and then I'll hand him over to you for handling." a middle-aged man obsequiously and respectfully said to Hammarby."Mr. Hammarby, the great star Lee, there's no need for you two to intervene. I can call people from the organization to dispose of trash like him at any moment." another man,
"Oh? A conflict?" Anna looked at Hammarby: "Whoever offended Mr. Jake, step forward and apologize to him right now.""You must understand that Mr. Jake is the only guest I personally invited to this event. Disrespecting him is equivalent to disrespecting my Cromir family." Anna's voice turned cold."Huh?""Oh!"After Anna officially acknowledged Theophilus's status, everyone present was wide-eyed and astonished.Theophilus was really Anna's special guest? And the only one at that?But why had they never heard of Theophilus in Radiant Harbor before?Who was he, to be held in such high esteem by the Cromir family?Hammarby and Sabrina turned pale.At this point, neither dared to look at Theophilus anymore, standing silently, almost paralyzed.Anna was known for her gentle manner of speaking, but her background represented the Cromir family, a leading force in the Western underworld.Such a powerful backdrop was enough to suffocate each of them.Offending the Cromir family was akin to co
Meanwhile,At the Mortal Orchid building, on the thirty-third floor, in a luxurious Western-style room,Theophilus sat upright on a salon chair, holding a cup of steaming black tea, slowly savoring it.Opposite him was Anna, smiling delightedly, her beautiful eyes roaming over Theophilus. She wore a daringly short white dress, her crossed legs revealing her stunningly smooth thighs.Theophilus spoke indifferently: "What does the Cromir family want with Radiant Harbor?""Actually, it's quite simple. Our family wants to replace all positions held by the Bright family in Radiant Harbor." Anna said: "We will fully support you in overthrowing Gabriel. And as for the pressure that the Bright family exerts on you, we can completely help you counter it.""Dear Mr. Jake, let me be frank with you, the Bright family in the West is our Cromir family's archenemy."Theophilus's lips curled into a cynical smile, speaking casually: "Your Cromir family wants quite a lot, don't they?"Clearly, the Crom
In major families like the Cromir's, marriages have always been political alliances.Though Anna was the heir of the Cromir family, she still needed a powerful husband to consolidate her position within the family.And Theophilus was an extremely suitable marriage prospect, even capable of reclaiming what was lost."Old Sanchez, please help me with this matter…" Anna's cheeks were flushed, her eyes sparkling, as if she was thinking of something."Right, Old Sanchez, the matter of the Bright family, I'll need you to handle it thoroughly for me." Anna suddenly remembered something and said sternly: "This is also my first collaboration with Theophilus; you must do it well.""Don't worry, Miss Anna, I will pave the way for you." Old Sanchez said earnestly, bowing.With that, Old Sanchez disappeared from the room like a shadow....In the Glass International Building.In the CEO's office, Theophilus sat upright in an armchair, holding a cup of tea.He savored the tea while gently spinning
Darian was almost sweating profusely, recounting the adverse news to Gabriel in a trembling voice.Indeed, the situation in Radiant Harbor has become unmanageable.The Gary family has been disastrously defeated on all fronts.Whether in the light or in the dark.They could not defeat Theophilus!Cornered and desperate.This is the most fitting description for Gabriel, who was once a legend in Radiant Harbor."I never expected to end up in this situation..." Gabriel lifted his hand to his forehead, his voice trembling.Gabriel's commercial empire in Radiant Harbor has been so oppressed by Theophilus that it is gasping for air, battered and teetering on the brink of collapse.It could be said that, within less than ten days, the Gary family could declare bankruptcy.This was an outcome Gabriel never expected!He originally thought that by bringing someone from another region like Theophilus to Radiant Harbor, he could fish in troubled waters and do as he pleased.But unexpectedly, Theop
