The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 137 Tick Tock
Haley B and Claire gasped as Derek revealed he had a ticking bomb in his body. "Victor… Is that a real bomb?" Claire stammered. She left her seat and backed away in panic. Haley B's face showed signs of alarm, but she didn't budge from her position. 'I will die one day or another,' she told herself. 'But I'll be lucky if it happens beside the man I love.'Victor didn't respond to Claire's question. He was convinced beyond doubt it was a genuine bomb. His piercing eyes narrowed, analyzing the blinking light on Derek's abdomen. The monolith leader had implanted a nano-bomb under his skin that could take down the entire building in an explosion. Victor was confident their organization had no access to such advanced technology. He figured they purchased it from an underworld broker, perhaps the Blackwells. Angela Kaufmann was working on military applications of nanotechnology, many of which were stolen by the Puppetmaster. The latter sold the advanced tech to the highest bidder. The nan
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 138 The Damone Legacy
"He wants to destroy the world, and the Armageddon will start in Springfield. A place where he failed last time…"Victor's eyes peered into Derek's. The defeated villain drooled like a baby in a trance. "I see. So the Puppetmaster has finally changed his ways, making allies in the criminal world. He'll fail all the same as I'm going to stop him. Now tell me what he looks like! Where is he hiding?"Derek snapped out of his reverie for a moment and vomited blood. "It's too late, Victor Damone…" he spat. "He's sending your own blood to destroy you... All your loved ones will be killed… He will have no mercy!" Victor was about to put Derek under hypnosis again, but the Monolith leader started bleeding from his eyes, nose, and ears. He collapsed to the floor and went into a violent seizure. With a last convulsion, he frothed in the mouth and slumped dead.Victor kneeled and parted Derek's dead lips. "There was a suicide pill hidden in his tooth. It was activated remotely. We were being w
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 139 The Blackwell Heiress
Victor narrowed his eyes at the young tantalizing beauty before him. Courtney Blackwell, the secret heiress of Alexander, was not just a pretty face. Victor had enough intel on the girl. She had one of the most brilliant minds in the corporate world, capable of managing the entire conglomerate all by herself. Even the Black Dragon gang was a puppet army under Courtney. Victor had heard that the girl was the brain behind Alexander's financial and real-world decisions. Damien was merely a figurehead propped up by the old man to deceive competitors. Damien was a facade to convince the patriarchal business world that the mighty Blackwells had a male heir. The truth was that Courtney pulled the threads from the shadows. "I have no business with the Blackwells," Victor replied without emotion. He already disliked the family for humiliating Carol in Carmine City. They tried to set her up as a fraud and a thief.The Blackwells would have succeeded had Victor not intervened. The man infiltra
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 140 The Doctor’s Desires
Dr. Sophia Baker was in the Hospital Director's office, poring over medical files. When Victor knocked, she jumped to her feet, looking as excited as a little girl. Realizing her break of character immediately, she cleared her throat and reined in the enthusiasm. "Come in…"Victor entered and offered her a thin smile. "I wanted to drop by and ask whether you were hurt in the Mayfair Lagoon incident."Sophia shrugged. "I'm alright. But why should you worry about me? I remember being asked to leave while you chose to stay behind with Claire and Haley. Apparently, they mean a lot to you. You'd be happy to die with them."Victor shook his head slightly. "Haley is not someone who listens to me, so asking her to run away would be pointless. However, Claire needed to face Derek Shepherd because he conspired to kidnap and kill her."Sophia raised her brows innocently. "Oh, I was not aware of that. I'm sorry…"Victor eyed her endearingly. She was a grown woman, a renowned surgeon at the top of
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 141 The Intoxication
Dr. Sophia's face paled as she heard Victor's appalling words. "What?! Someone poisoned you?! Do you know which chemical they used? I'll get the antidote immediately!"Victor had broken into a vigorous sweat. "I'm unsure since it was in my food and was tasteless and odorless."The female doctor felt a crippling pang of anxiety rush over her, but she made a resolute face. She wouldn't let the man she loved die before her eyes. "How did the poison enter your system?""It was in a slice of cake." Victor realized Courtney Blackwell had tried to kill him with a nefarious plan. She used Carol to lower his defenses.Based on the symptoms, it was a fast-acting chemical. An ordinary guy would probably be already dead. However, Victor was functionally immune to poisons and toxins. Even the most potent substances like hemlock wouldn't even make him drowsy. But there was something different about Courtney's poison.Sophia rifled in the medicine cabinet and handed him a vial of tincture. "This is
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 142 The Hangover
With great regret, Sophia bit her lip and bid Victor goodbye."I'll wait for you to get back and perform a diagnosis when you return,” she said, averting her eyes. “Take care."Victor turned to go, but another splitting headache paralyzed his stride. "Arghh!" His pupils contracted and expanded rapidly and then came to a halt. The man rose to his full height with a different air about him."What happened?" In the urgency to treat Victor, the beauty had forgotten to dress up and was still in her lingerie. Her beautiful assets were on full display. Victor glared at Sophia like a predator in the wild. A flame of insatiable bloodlust erupted in his eyes."Victor… Are you okay?" Sophia asked nervously. "You seem different."Without warning, Victor rushed at Sophia, slamming her into the wall. "What are you doing?" she exclaimed. "Ah!"The man smirked and grabbed her breasts roughly. "Is this what you want? Do you like it?" His voice sounded savage and beast-like.Sophia's eyes widened in h
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 143 The Damone Reunion
The news of Edgar Damone's recovery spread like wildfire. Billionaires wondered whether the Damone Industries company would make a comeback. Most dismissed the idea with ridicule."Grandpa, we'll host a party for your comeback today," Victor told Edgar. The old man was initially reluctant, then agreed on the condition that they would hold the party in a small family restaurant called Jen's Corner. It was located within walking distance of the Damone house. "Your grandma used to frequent this restaurant every week," he said with emotion. "Let's call our family and friends for a reunion."Edgar also insisted that George, his second son, be invited. Victor bore bridges against his paternal uncle. The man fled the Damone family during troubling times, abandoning his father and nephew. When Victor needed urgent cash to pay for Edgar's heart surgery, George let his wife badmouth the old man instead of offering help. However, Edgar insisted that his only surviving son be summoned regardle
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 144 Sebastian Damone
Edgar butted in. "What are you talking about? You want to date your cousin's ex-wife?"The young man shrugged in a carefree manner. "Carol is still young and probably the most beautiful woman in Springfield. She's the attraction of this rotten town."His grandfather shook his head. "You didn't have to come to this city if you considered it rotten. This place is native to the Damone family and is sacred."Sebastian waved a dismissive hand. "I don't care about that. I have a meeting with the Triumvirate regarding the Springfield Rapids Project."George and Karen gasped in unison. The Rapids Project was touted to be the biggest commercial project over the last three decades. Its urban plans would transform the city and the country, catapulting the land into the next era. However, the project's leading investor's identity was secret. He had funded the Triumvirate with billions in seed money and even invited the Blackwells. Falcon Inc., owned by Lector Damone, was the third-largest congl
