The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 154 Billionaire Summoned
John's words received nods from around the family. There was no other explanation—Victor had tricked Mick Teller into believing he was wealthy.Instead of being offended by her father's words, Eva turned red in embarrassment. Did John just mention her marriage with Victor?"Did I ask for your permission?" Victor replied icily. Even though he had no intention of starting a relationship with Eva, her father's attitude was getting on his nerves."You peasant!" John fired back. "How dare you talk to me that way? Do you even know who I am? I am a partner in Shannon Pharma, the largest pharmaceutical company in the state! I know Edward Shannon! Have you heard of him?""I may have come across the name…""See? Now you are intimidated, aren't you? I don’t blame you, Victor. Talmuth Bank is a small entity compared to Shannon Inc., and everyone in the city bows down to Mr. Shannon! He's a legend in Springfield!"John pointed towards Edward Shannon's group, which was two tables across. The billio
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 155 Eva’s Desires
Carol shook her head to ward off her conspiracy theories. Victor being Caesar was a far fetch and a ridiculous thought.The man had always been down-to-earth and middle-class. His present treasure of wealth and influence might be rooted in some other mystery."He's fooling you!" Keegan barked at Shannon, jumping to his feet. "Victor Damone is a piece of trash! Not even worthy of cleaning my shoes!"Edward Shannon turned towards Keegan, and his expression was murderous. The old man became tongue-tied under his domineering glare."You're an elderly person, therefore I am giving you time to escape. Finish your food and get lost from Edgar's Tower. If I find you or your family in Edgar Tower after thirty minutes, I will skin you alive!"Having voiced his anger, Edward bowed to Victor. "I'm sorry you faced such troubles while I was around, sir."Victor held up a hand. "It's okay, Edward. You are dismissed."The billionaire left as if he were an obedient child. The Atelier family was left s
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 156 Meeting The Holts
The Holt Mansion was located in one of the most lavish estates of Prince County. Victor had reluctantly agreed to meet Claire's parents after hours of her nagging."You've ignored me enough!" The billionaire goddess grumbled over the phone. "You promised me a favor but backed out several times already! That isn't fair! Doesn't the all-powerful Victor Damone stay true to his word?"Victor sighed. "Alright. Tell me what the issue is?""Hmph. I told you already—my parents have found a groom candidate for me. They want me to get hitched as soon as possible.""That doesn't sound like a problem. Go ahead and get married." Victor heard Claire groan and could imagine her pouting over the phone. She wasn't happy with his insensitive remark."I don't want a husband right now!" She sounded more like a whining brat than a grown woman. "I'm still in my twenties!""Sounds fair to me. You can just turn down the candidate."Claire moaned childishly before replying. "It doesn't work like that, Victor…
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 157 Resignation
Victor tore the check in half and threw the pieces in a bin. "I don't want or need your money. If you have excess, I urge you to donate it to the Springfield Rapids Project. Apart from city expansion, they have a humanitarian wing. The latter builds homeless shelters in every sector and accepts donations for that purpose."Dennis was taken aback. He was severely mistaken about Claire's choice of lover. The billionaire exchanged glances with his wife. "I will donate an amount to them today.""That's good to know."Amanda leaned forward. "Victor… Do you really like our daughter?" She asked.Victor wondered how to answer her question without lying. "I don't dislike her."Claire's mother put on a concerned look. "She thinks she is invincible and takes too many risks, which always lands her in trouble."Victor crossed his legs and laid his piercing glance on the Holts. "You underestimate her and don't give her due credit. Isn't Claire the one who doubled your business in three years? She i
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 158 The Mayor’s Sex Party
Toby Gunderson was the youngest Mayor of Springfield at twenty-five. After his dad passed away, he was elected unopposed to the position.Toby knew about his father's dealings with Monolith and the corruption he propagated in the city. He hated the man while he was alive, not because of his nefarious activities but because he wouldn't share any power and influence with his son.It was like a dream come true now that Toby was the Mayor. His father's death actually came as a blessing to him.At the moment, the Gunderson mansion was hosting a grand party with over two hundred guests. Most of them were young heirs of wealthy people in Springfield.While a noisy, bustling crowd drank and danced in the hall below, Toby was hosting a VVIP party in his private chambers. The guests were Benjamin Thorne, Jerry Milligan, and Carlos Perez, three young heirs of big companies in Springfield.Toby had also invited Damien and Lonnie from the Blackwell family. The six young men had been an elite group
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 159 Atelier Girls
Carlos, Benjamin, Lonnie, and Jerry exchanged gleeful glances. A simple reunion event had turned into a sex party! They couldn't wait to sleep with the most desirable women in the city!After half an hour, there was a knock on the door. Jerry and Carlos rushed to the door and opened it. A beautiful woman in a trench coat entered the room. "Welcome, Carol…" Damien said with a devilish smile.Carol looked around the room and eyed the six men suspiciously. She could recognize them as billionaire heirs of Springfield. Why were they invited to the meeting?Damien had sent Carol the following message: 'Come to Gunderson Mansion for a business meeting immediately. We will discuss your future at the Blackwell Conglomerate. The honorable Mayor will be the witness.'Carol wouldn't come to any location alone if Damien invited her. However, she assumed it would be a safe affair since the Mayor of Springfield was involved. However, the room stank of booze, drugs, and cigarettes. It was definitely
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 160 Preying On Beauties
The young Mayor stood up, grinning ear to ear. "Well, Carol was supposed to pay twenty million dollars as seed money. Since she failed miserably, she's here to sell her body to Damien in exchange for cash."Rose eyed her twin sister with concern. She disliked the woman, but there was no way Carol would prostitute herself for money."You're lying! There's something fishy going on here!"Rose walked up to Carol and grabbed her arm. "Let's go," she urged. "This is not a safe place."Carol shook her head as tears clouded her vision. "I can't leave. Damien will kill my family if I don't pay up."Toby laughed hysterically, and the others joined in. "You see? She has voluntarily offered herself. There's nothing fishy here. It's going to be a consensual gangbang!"Rose clenched her fist and turned to Damien. "Twenty million dollars, was it? I will gladly give Carol the loan at market rates. Now, can we leave?"The young men exchanged glances. Rose's involvement would throw a wrench into their
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 161 The Five-Star General
Springfield International Airport was on high alert since a military bigwig was about to arrive. While the general public was clueless, the city's infantry battalion was stationed at the airport to receive this VIP individual. Lieutenant Colonel Dagert waited nervously at the airstrip. He had prohibited all political leaders and businessmen who wanted to curry favor and kept them out of the premises.The only information available about the bigwig's identity was the rank of General and the surname of Armstrong. General Armstrong ran the country's elite Delta Force and was a military advisor to the President himself. However, the gender, appearance, and other personal details were classified.At the scheduled arrival time, an advanced army aircraft touched down and cruised to a halt. The entire battalion saluted, and Dagert waited eagerly for General Armstrong to descend from the plane. However, only the bigwig's staff came down from the aircraft. On checking, General Armstrong was fou

"What the hell are these changelings?" Kate raged. "Why are the Damonists so desperate to create them with these infernal methods?"Disgust and anger overwhelmed the girl, and her voice changed to the regular low-pitch. Normally, Kate thickened her tone to sound older to throw off any witnesses. Now, with her defenses lowered, she sounded much like a University girl."Does mutilating and killing innocents come easily to them?! They ripped out unborn babies and fetuses from pregnant women! And don't get me started on the brains!"Kate trailed off, unable to handle her own graphic imagination. She had not imagined in her worst dreams that the night would take such a dark turn.Victor nodded. "All I know is that changelings are composed of uterus and brain tissue. I am not sure why they are collecting fetuses. I haven't found the purpose or application yet."Kate fidgeted with and adjusted her mask. It had loosened a bit after her brief struggle with Roadkill. "But why make such horrible
267 Changelings
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
266 Bird Hunting
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
262 Eva's Perfect Life
Eva Atelier stepped out of the shower, looking resplendent. She wore only a white bathrobe and smelled of lavender and honey. The beauty just had a long, warm, and luxurious shower. 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
