The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 162 Frontal Attack
Toby, Lonnie, Carlos, and Jerry jumped to their feet in shock. "Who the fuck are you?" Toby barked. "Do you know whose mansion this is? I am the Mayor of Springfield! You'll spend the rest of your life in prison for this vandalism!"The figure stepped forward and dropped his trenchcoat. Then, he slowly lowered the carnival mask.The men were taken aback by the intruder's appearance. In fact, Toby breathed a sigh of relief. Before them stood a ravishing warrior-like woman. She had shiny, golden hair and a lithe build.Carlos whistled naughtily. "Hey, Toby. Did you order a roleplay prostitute? She looks foreign and athletic. I wouldn't mind doing her first. Thanks, man."Toby shook his head and turned to Val. "I don't know who you are, woman. But if my friends hired you as a call girl, you can quickly undress and bend over. We're already having fun and are ready to fuck."Val smirked at Toby with pity in her eyes. "Is that all a woman is to you, baby Mayor?" she asked condescendingly.
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 163 Powerful Weapon
Val immediately picked up another iron platter. Regardless of the technology the bullet possessed, she could deflect it if it was made of metal. It was basic science coupled with years of training.When Damien pressed the trigger, there was no blast, only a red spark. The bullet left the gun with a zippy noise. Val recognized its trajectory and held the platter at an angle to redirect it.However, her efforts were all in vain. As soon as the bullet touched the iron platter, the latter vibrated and crumbled into dust. The shot proceeded and grazed against Val's sleeve, which, in turn, withered away!Val's eyes opened wide in shock. The nano-tech gun could turn everything it touched to dust! Moreover, she observed that the bullet swerved in its path. That would make it even more challenging to dodge. If it made contact with her skin, her entire body would crumble!Val bit her lip with concern. No wonder Victor had warned her about the difficulty of the mission.Damien threw his head bac
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 164 Poetic Justice
Eva winced as Toby aimed the gun between her legs. She couldn't imagine how she fell prey to such a dangerous clique. Can the Mayor of a town be such a hidden monster? Was Springfield always such a dangerous place?All Eva wanted was to help her cousins in trouble. Especially Carol, who was Victor's ex-wife. The girl figured he would be devastated if something horrible happened to her. However, instead of rescuing the Atelier girls, Eva ended up becoming the victim.She began to spiral into panic and dismay. However, the man in the carnival mask, whose lips were visible through a cutout, offered her a reassuring smile.Then the truth struck Eva, and her eyes widened. She could never forget those lips since they had recently kissed her forehead on Edgar Tower's terrace under the moonlight. The man in the carnival mask was none other than Victor Damone!His voice sounded unfamiliar, and the murderous aura he exhibited was intimidating to her. However, it didn't take long for Eva to reco
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 165 Damien’s Destiny
Victor wore an expensive suit, and his voice was modulated differently. The carnival mask hid his face quite well. No ordinary person could possibly recognize Victor. Even Carol, his ex-wife, had failed to look through his disguise in Carmine City."Always," Eva replied gingerly. "You can't disguise yourself from me."Victor patted her head, turned towards the door, and clapped his hands loudly. A slender young woman in a body-fitting suit walked in. She was Elsa Madison, one of the top lawyers in the state. Both Damien and Toby wondered what a celebrity attorney like Elsa was doing there. Was she a member of the NWO as well? How widespread was the organization?"Elsa… Leave the papers with me, and take Carol and Rose with you…" Victor instructed.Elsa nodded and did as she was told. She placed a black file on the glass table before leading the two girls away.Carol was speechless. The man in the carnival mask was right there, but she had no idea about his true identity. She also didn
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 166 Cranes Come To Roost
Peace finally returned to Springfield after a long time. The systemic rot eating at the city's development was eliminated as soon as the corrupt Gunderson family was wiped out. An honest bureaucrat was made Mayor-in-charge until the next local elections.The Gunderson family had shamelessly allowed crime to perpetuate in the city, taking bribes from gangsters, corrupt bureaucrats, and shady billionaires for petty favors. Now, in their absence, crime became disorganized. Even local political authority was decentralized. However, amidst this chaos, another family was about to fill the enormous vacuum of power again."This is not good," Clive Baron said, massaging his temples. He was reading a government notice circulated in business circles."What is it?" Edward Shannon asked. They were having coffee at an elite cafeteria in Prince County. It was their regular location for discussing NWO topics and the city's welfare."The Governor of the State has decided to intervene in Springfield's
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 167 Claire’s Desires
Victor reached the Holt Mansion and parked his bike in front of the main entrance as usual. The guards had stopped him at the gate since he was no longer Claire's bodyguard, and his clearance had been revoked. However, the guards had received a call from Amanda Holt, Claire's mother, to let him in.As Victor walked into the reception hall, he found Amanda waiting at the entrance with a worried expression."Victor… I'm sorry I had to ask you to come here at such short notice. I know you have resigned from your position as a bodyguard. However, it's an urgent matter."Victor nodded. "What happened? Is Claire safe?"Amanda frowned and fidgeted. She was unsure about how to begin."My daughter is safe indeed, thanks to you. But ever since you left her so abruptly, Claire hasn't been herself."Victor raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"Amanda resumed walking, and Victor followed her as they talked."Claire has always been full of enthusiasm and spirit. But ever since that day, her person
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 168 Rude Welcome
The Deputy Governor of the state, Elias Crane, was presently the Mayor-in-charge of Springfield. Born into a wealthy and influential family, he never learned to be humble or flexible. The young man was such an elitist that when he saw the modest City Hall building for the first time, he turned around and left.Elias Crane booked an entire floor in Hotel Braganza, one of the most expensive seven-star hotels in the state. He transferred all his staff and work paraphernalia there and converted a luxurious suite into his office.As Claire entered Hotel Braganza with Victor, the Mayor's secretary recognized her and ushered them into the waiting room."Please rest here, Miss Holt," she said with a professional demeanor. "I'll inform Mr. Crane about your arrival."Claire turned to Victor and grumbled. "I don't see why the new Mayor spent so much money relocating the entire local government from City Hall to Hotel Braganza. It seems like a colossal waste of taxpayer money.""Elias is a megalo
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 169 Elias Crane
Victor put on an impassive look. "I'm not interested in popularity or pageantry. I have more important things on my mind right now. And look at you… It would be best not to strain yourself while you are out of sorts, or your opponents will exploit the weakness to defeat you. Reserve your energy for the meeting with Elias."Claire smirked at Victor naughtily. "Is that so? Do you think I am helpless right now? Then why don't you take advantage of me while I am fragile?"She inched closer to him on the couch and pressed her torso against his arm. Victor noticed Claire's intimate move, and his eyes instinctively went to her flushed cleavage. The young woman's perfume was enchanting; even her bodily odor had a pheromonal effect.Victor couldn't help but stare down her voluptuous breasts and gradually felt the oncoming pang of desire. Why was he subjected to constant seduction attacks by pretty women?Victor looked away immediately. "I am supposed to protect you and not attack you."Claire

"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
