"What are you talking about?" Rose stammered. Was Tony referring to Victor?"The situation is exactly what I described," Tony replied, his words fast and ruthless. "Your loved one is in my crosshairs. If you don't want him to die a painful death, hand over controlling shares of your company to me!"Rose felt a knot forming in her throat. What had she done? Why had she trusted a Blackwell family member with sensitive information? What possessed her to give Victor's residential address to a shady man like Tony?"This is criminal behavior…" she mumbled. "Do you think you'll get away with such an act? I'll inform the authorities!"Tony let out a mocking laugh. "The city's cops are all corrupt, sweetheart. Besides, who would dare go against the Blackwell family? Do they have a death wish? Anyway… Stop stalling. Your guy will die if you don't give in to my demands! Tick Tock! Time is running out…""He can handle himself," the beauty said with confidence. Claire had told her how Victor defea

"Look at this guy," another gang member said, pointing at Victor with derision. "He seems too comfortable and chilled for someone about to be tortured to death. Is he in shock, or has he lost his mind? I can't believe that the Rose Atelier woman is offering herself to our boss to save this pathetic man!"The assassins laughed, but Victor raised an eyebrow. Did the hoodlum just mention Rose? His computer brain processed the information at lightning speed. Most likely, the goons did not know who he really was. Their boss had blackmailed Rose for ransom. It must be someone really cunning, a trickster. Victor reached these conclusions after considering the boss had sent his goons to kill him even though Rose was willing to fulfill his demands. This indicated that he was not a regular extortionist. The boss intended to destroy Rose. He had set the perfect trap of deception, knowing that the beauty would sacrifice anything to save Victor. Rose was in grave danger."Who is your boss?" Vict
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 103 Damien’s Plan
Carol was in a good mood. Her executives surrounded her in C&A's conference hall. The team was bustling, hurriedly taking notes of her instructions, making suggestions, getting feedback, and deliberating among themselves. C&A was drafting the ultimate plan to launch Venus Skincare, a retail brand that was Carol's brainchild.Now that Haley B had agreed to be their brand ambassador, every investor, promoter, and advertisement company wanted to be part of the launch. Carol was shocked to learn about the celebrity's decision. She wondered whether Damien had taken her out to dinner, as agreed.Carol turned her attention back to the C&A team. They were hammering out the final rollout plan to be executed the next month.The conference room's double doors swiveled open. A group of sharp-looking men dressed in black suits entered. Carol was annoyed by the interruption, but she knew who they were—the Human Resources Department."Don't you guys have any manners?" she snapped at them angrily. "I

"I…" Rose mumbled. Did Tony want privacy because their dealing was covert?"Your boyfriend is waiting for you," the receptionist said with a wink.The beauty wanted to correct her, saying Tony was a business partner, but she had no time to lose. She grabbed the key and rushed into the lift, wishing to God that Victor was still out of harm.Rose knocked on Room 403's door, but there was no answer. Was Tony not there yet? She used the key to open the lock and admitted herself in.There was no one inside. However, there were signs of someone using the room. It was a honeymoon suite; the bed had been set for two, with dim, pleasing lights. A gramophone played a slow, romantic tune in the background.Rose bit her lip. Did she come to the wrong room? She was about to leave when the bathroom door opened.Tony Blackwell stepped out in a bath towel, ruffling his hair. He was a lean young man with an athletic build. Rose turned her eyes away in embarrassment. What a shameless fellow!"I can com

"Oh, do you claim to be the agent of my death?" Tony asked with a pompous tone. "Let me pose a question to you, stranger! Before interrupting my romantic night, did you take a moment to consider who I am? I belong to the Blackwell family! You heard it right! Do you now realize what consequences await you? Now cower before me and kiss my feet, or I will have you and your family tortured to death!"The masked man did not respond to Tony's humiliating suggestion. He walked towards the young man at a leisurely but dramatic pace.The assailant's visage triggered a memory in Tony. He remembered Joe Savage's report after the gangster barely escaped alive from a deadly attack last month. A mysterious man in a carnival mask massacred an entire army of goons. The latter was so powerful that he defeated Joe Savage and killed the legendary Titus Chrome. The event had terrorized the mafia gangs, even making the Puppetmaster's minions restless.Was this masked guy the same person? The thought sent

Tony aimed the gun at Victor's head and pulled the trigger. Bang! The powerful shot was enough to kill a man. However, the weapon's fire did not halt Victor's progress. Tony watched with a gaping mouth as the man held up a smoking, misshapen bullet in his hand. "It's a weak gun with no firepower," he pronounced. "A child's plaything."Tony's jaw dropped. Did Victor catch the fired bullet? No, that was not possible! Perhaps he missed, and Victor was playing a trick to unsettle him. He cocked the gun quickly and fired three more shots. It would be impossible to dodge or miss at such a short distance.Bang! Bang! Bang!Victor's arms moved so fast that they resembled the blades of a rotating fan. Three metal slugs dropped noisily to the floor at the gunfire's end."You don't learn, do you?"Tony digested the scene unfolding before him, and his legs began trembling. "What are you…" he stammered, thinking he had somehow entered a surreal nightmare.Victor reached the young man, took his we

Kurt bowed, exhilarated by the praise from his master.Meesho broke into tears. The heads belonged to able men he had trained for years. "Sir… I beg for your mercy! Let the rest of my gang live! We will serve you till the end of days! Please, sir!"Victor considered his pleas for a moment. "I forgive you, Meesho," he said. "Now get out of my sight and take your lieutenants with you. Keep them as a reminder of what happens to those who offend me!" The gang leader breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed. He jumped to his feet, took the bag full of heads from Kurt, and escaped the room."You guys don't know me!!" Tony exclaimed, slipping into insanity. "I would have satisfied Rose! I am the perfect man with the perfect body! She would have been grateful!"Victor turned to Kurt Bane. "This man is too pathetic for me to kill. Take care of him."Kurt bowed to Victor for the opportunity and grabbed Tony. The young man flailed and struggled desperately, howling wildly, but the powerful arms o
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 108 Alexander Blackwell
Carmine City was famously known as the Blood Vein City. It was established over one hundred and thirty years ago. A large mining group discovered a rich treasure trove of gold in the Carmine hills. They fought over the gold vein leading to bloodshed. Only a few survived in the end, but it was said that the slopes were covered with blood. The gory event inspired the name Carmine.The few surviving families prospered from the trade and eventually built a city around the area. The settlement was carved into the hills and yet had the state's most advanced roads and public infrastructure. This development was due to the benevolence of the affluent mining families. The Blackwells were the wealthiest and most influential among them. One could only imagine what crimes they had to commit to stay at the top.Carol gaped in amazement as her car climbed up a slope of Carmine hills. A castle-like establishment was built on its peak with a massive black dragon sigil on the gate. Carol had not info

Victor checked the time on his Cartier watch. It was a Valentine's gift from Eva. He wondered what she'd be doing right now—probably still awake, waiting for her lover. Even though the duo were intimate just a few hours ago, he already missed her warm, slender body., and her naughty smile.Victor had spent all night hunting down criminals—drug peddlers, child traffickers, rapists, and burglars. They were petty offenders but still made Springfield unsafe. He would be back home already if he hadn't followed Kate to the abandoned asylum."First things first, Raven," Victor began. "Why did you call me a monster? What was that uncalled-for outburst all about?"Kate crossed her arms and gave him a quizzical look. Did Roadkill seriously not know? Was the psychopath clueless about his own murderous tendencies?"I will not fall for that," she replied defensively. "You're trying to find whether I have gathered any evidence to incriminate your brutalities. Once you know everything, it will be co

Kate's grip loosened a bit on her knives. Did the stranger say he was Roadkill? Why was the name so familiar? A moment's reflection brought back her doubts and anxiety.Of course! The poster vigilante, Roadkill! He was so popular among the youth that cosplayers dressed up as him in comic-con. Teen girls loved him so much they got the tattoo 'R' over objectionable parts of their bodies. There were steaks and drinks named after him!Kate ground her teeth in disgust. The Raven used to be Springfield citizens' poster heroine and sole protectress. That ended when Roadkill arrived. However, the female vigilante wasn't really upset that he stole the limelight from her. She was more disturbed by how he did it.Kate went through the newspaper articles, online blogs, and witness reports of cases in which Roadkill was involved. Even though the police department publicly denounced him, they made no attempts to curb his vigilante activities. On the other hand, the Raven was painted as a hobbyist a

265 The Raven
Kate jumped from rooftop to rooftop undetected in the darkness, her beastly green eyes glowing in the night. She was light as a feather and agile like a feline. She used parkour moves, advanced gymnastics, and physical resilience to traverse buildings.Kate was trying to put some distance between herself and the crime scene she had recently visited. Less than ten minutes later, she found a group of drunkards harassing an innocent lady. The latter was returning from shopping and somehow missed the curfew time.The villainous group ambushed her in an alley and surrounded her. After robbing the lady of her belongings, they went too far. Inebriated and stoned, they attempted to tear off her clothes and rape her.Luckily, Kate heard her cries and jumped down from the building for a rescue. She offered no warning to the perpetrators. Her powerful chops, jabs, and slams floored them in a minute. The end result was that the men needed hospitalization to survive.After making an anonymous call

264 Eva’s Perfect Life 3 (18+ Warning)
Clearly unsettled, Eva tried to get up from the bed. But she failed because her legs and arms were bound. The young woman had been stripped and made to wear a hospital gown.What was going on? Didn’t she lose consciousness in the restaurant? Where the hell did they bring her? Or was she asleep, having a nightmare?Eva heard a few voices talking but couldn’t recognize them.“The fresh specimen has a bun in the oven, sir…”“What? Is the woman pregnant? Now, that sounds like good news. We can have both her grey matter and her uterus. Jackpot!”Eva’s heart froze in horror. What nonsense were the strangers blabbering? Then, the realization hit her. She had been abducted!“Where am I?” Eva called out to the voices. “What’s going on here? Answer me! I am the Mayor’s executive assistant! You guys are in a lot of trouble! The military police will barge in at any moment and gun you down!”Eva heard footsteps. Moments later, three smiling faces loomed over her. “Ah, the specimen is awake,” a mid

263 Eva’s Perfect Life 2
Eva stopped eating her food and stared at the young man. He looked innocent, probably fresh out of high school, a college freshman. Was he a fan of Victor Cromwell?“How did you know it was me?” she asked apprehensively.“Please don’t be alarmed, ma’am,” he replied, joining his hands. “I am George. I am actually a big admirer of Mr. Victor Cromwell and the wonderful work he has been doing for Springfield. You’re always by his side in meetings, conferences, and photo ops. Therefore, it isn’t irregular for commoners like us to recognize you.”Eva was still unconvinced. “You are a fan of Victor’s work? Are you okay with military rule? Most of the city appears to be against it.”“Yes, of course they are against it!” George exclaimed. “Governments rise and fall all the time. Governance styles also change. Springfield is becoming a military-industrial complex, and people must get with the times.”Eva nodded, reassured that the boy was a modern arts student, an idealist. Why else would he tr

However, the timing could have been better since it was past midnight.Victor had gone out after an hour-long lovemaking session, leaving her yearning for a thorough cleansing. Perhaps he would return soon, and they could go at it again. She was already horny thinking about her man.Victor usually disappeared every night and returned before dawn. Eva never asked him about his whereabouts. She assumed he was meeting important people and hatching plans for Springfield's betterment. The girl equated herself with a superhero's girlfriend, never disturbing his high-stakes, clandestine nightlife.It had been a month since Eva started living with Victor at the Mayor's mansion. It was now public knowledge that the two were dating. The media picked up the news on the first day and played it until the entire city kn

259 The Cult
Victor recognized the vigilante named Roadkill because he was, in fact, Roadkill. When he first arrived in Springfield as Victor Cromwell, he immediately noticed the societal change. People were bolder, more outspoken, and political. On the other hand, something was uncanny about the steep rise of both crime and criminals.Even after the military boosted security and restored the economy, public order continued to worsen. It meant certain forces were actively inciting crimes. Robberies, burglaries, and murders were frequent.As soon as the sun set, a hush fell over the city. People were scared to go outdoors in the dark. Anti-social elements hung out in the alleys. Drugs, smuggling, and trafficking were at an all-time high. It was dangerous for women and children to go out alone after dusk.Victor decided to take matters into his own hands. He walked the streets and alleys himself to investigate the cause of this anomaly. Since he couldn't publicly reveal his identity and face, he dis
