2024-12-09 15:20:43“What young master!?” Seth questioned manager Howard.
“How can you call this lowly slum dweller 'young master'? Don't be deceived by this conman. He's nothing but a poor and wretched slum dweller.” Seth's frustration was already piled up. “Are saying I don't know who my Boss is?” Mister Howard questioned with a frown on his face. He was clearly angry at Seth's rambling, but this only excited Clyde more. 'The higher they are, the bigger they fall.' Clyde felt someone staring at him, he turned around and saw Clarissa's eyes on him. She had this thoughtful expression on her face as if she was finally comprehending all that was happening. “Your Boss!? What Boss!? Let me elaborate these to you Mister Howard! That man sitting there is the full definition of poverty. If he was rich enough to buy this building, then he won't be living in that shack at the slums!” Seth then turned to Clarissa. “If he was so rich, it won't be easy for me to get under the pant of his wife! He's so poor that his wife became cheap and it didn't take much for me to get her in my bed! How can someone who can't even take care of his wife be so rich!?” Seth said with a sneer. He was in so much rage and determined to proof he was right that he even dragged Clarissa down with him. Clyde couldn't stop the smile that appeared on his face. All who saw him knew for a fact that he was enjoying a show. Clarissa couldn't hide her shame and tears rolled from her eyes. She couldn't believe that Seth would disgrace her in such a way. “What a disgusting man, he took advantage of the poor woman and used her the way he wished.” “Serves her right, she should have stayed with her husband no matter what.” “But is it true that the plain clothed man seated there is so rich? If he is, then doesn't that mean he's wicked as to not take care of his wife.” So many comments flew around the lobby, but Clyde wasn't bothered by it in any way. The smile on his face only grew wider. “You should be ashamed of yourself! Taking advantage of a defenseless woman, and you're proud of yourself. I should have the security throw you out.” the manager said and was about to call security when Clyde stood up. “Don't bother Howard. Go get me the records of the previous manager, I wish to go through it.” Clyde said casually and waved Howard aside. “Yes young master Clyde.” Howard bowed in a respectful manner and hurried away. Clarissa saw this and then knew for a fact that this wasn't an act. She also had her fair share of wealth and power, and she knows genuine respect when she sees one. She had spotted it when that lady driving the Cybertruck limo came, at that time she thought the lady was an actress, but now, she knew it wasn't an act. 'Didn't Clyde tell me that he had a surprise for me that will bring shock to me? What if?.. what if Clyde wasn't who he said he was? What if he was secretly a big shot who chose the life of simplicity like in the light novels?' As she stood there mulling on all these, the words Clyde had said to her the previous day came flooding into her head. “Clarissa, please try to understand, it will be alright soon.” “Clarissa please wait till tomorrow..” “Clarissa please, I beg of you, please don't go. Tomorrow is our anniversary, I have prepared something for you. I guarantee you'd be surprised. Trust me on this one love, it is the kind of surprise you've been waiting for.” And how had she answered him? “Clyde! I'm deadbeat tired of all these!? I can't keep living like this! It's frustrating, you hear!?” “No! I want a divorce, and I want it now!” “Clyde, I'm not happy at all. We are broke now? Your salary isn't even enough to pay the rent, I can't put up with this anymore!” “Tomorrow, next week, next year, what difference does it make!?” “I'm leaving Clyde. Let's face it, nothing good is ever going to come out from you, and I don't want to live the rest of my life in regrets just because I love you and I'm married to you. I can't put up with this shitty life anymore.” “Surprise? Of course I will be surprised? You know why? Because you might cobble up a few trash and bring it forth as a gift!” As she thought all these, fresh tears streamed down her cheek. She knew in her heart that Clyde truly loved her, and he never wanted a divorce, and when he tried to stop her.. how did she reply him? “Clyde Tresslar! If you don't get your stinking hands off me, I will make sure to tell everyone here how trashy you are!” At that moment all the shame, embarrassment and disgust materialized in front of her and she burst out crying. Clyde turned to her to see her in tears as she stared at him pleadingly. His heart almost broke at the thought that he had caused the woman he love to shed tears of pain. But then thinking back to all she had done to him, he steeled his heart and looked away. Right then Howard returned with a big ledger that contained the financial records of the company. “Young master Clyde Sir, here it is.” Howard said as he gently handed the ledger to Clyde. Clyde simply nodded in acknowledgement and took the ledger, he went through it and then turned to Seth. “It seems your you and your father embezzled a whole lot of money. This can get you a couple years in jail.” Clyde glanced back at the ledger and then to Seth. “Clean up your office, I want you off my company in the next five minutes or I will have security throw you out.” Clyde said and smiled at Seth. BADOOM!!

Seth stood there, holding the phone to his ear, his mind struggling to process what had just happened. The words from the bank manager seemed like a bad joke: his accounts, his entire wealth, were frozen indefinitely. There was no way this was real.“What the hell is this!?” Seth yelled at the now silent phone, his voice trembling with disbelief. His grip tightened, as if the pressure could somehow reverse the bank’s decision. His heart raced, and he could feel the anger and panic rising like a tidal wave.He glanced at his father, expecting some kind of support, but Mister Mandeep’s face was ashen. The old man was staring at the floor, wringing his hands as if trying to wish away the nightmare unfolding around them.“Dad! Tell them to fix this! Tell them that this is a mistake!” Seth’s voice cracked as he turned to Mister Mandeep. But his father remained silent, too terrified to utter a word.In the silence that followed, Clyde’s calm voice cut through the tension.“Everything you’ve

If stares could kill, his was definitely throwing daggers at Clyde. “How dare you!!” He roared and opted to get physical with him. The security men around held him down immediately. He struggled to be set free but they held him in strong bonds, he only managed to throw fists in the air. “How dare you lock up all my accounts and funds! Who do you think you are, huh? You wreck!You'll pay for this! Mark my words!” He threatened, pointing fingers at him.“Take him out of my company. I don't need a psycho in my business premises.” Clyde said nonchalantly_ obviously he wasn't bothered by any of these at all.“You heard the Boss! Get this filth out of here!” Mr. Howard yelled at the security guards when he noticed their sluggishness. They quickly picked Seth up in the air and carried him out of the company.“This isn't over Clyde! You hear! This isn't over!! I'll deal with you! You haven't seen the last of m

Having a calm aura, she shut the door behind her and leaned on it quietly for an extra minute or two before sliding down to the floor beneath her.SighToday has been the day of her life. Who would have thought Clyde was a billionaire?“Clarissa?” Rachael called but heard no response. She was in the kitchen making dinner. She heard someone enter the house, she thought it was Clarissa and so she waited for her to talk or call out her name as she was fond of but instead, it was a long gravy silence that ensued. She called out her name again, yet no response.. she decided to find out who it was with her special weapon, the frying pan.“Oh! it's just you.” She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her. “Why didn't you answer me?” She fumed.“Clarissa_?” She called, stunned at Clarissa's awful appearance and calm demeanor, she lowered her weapon and approached her.“Don't!_” Clarissa warned. “Stay away f

There's a saying, the higher the throne, the greater the opposition. Seth knew one truth about power: Every throne invites opposition. Enemies lurked in every shadow, families lie in wait for the heirs of the throne to falter. A single misstep could bring an entire dynasty crashing down. The Darkfang dynasty was no exception. The Kylain family, sworn enemies of the Darkfangs for generations, had long vied for the Zizou throne. Their power rivaled the Darkfangs', with family members entrenched in the empire’s military ranks, weaving quiet, sinister schemes. The two families' rivalry had left a trail of blood and betrayal, but today, Seth Mandeep was about to cross enemy lines—not for conquest, but for alliance. He stood before the towers of the mighty Kylain dynasty. The gates were monumental, a fortress of iron, brass, and steel. They were impenetrable to anyone without the proper validation, and even if someone managed to breach them, the sprawling security network of guards a

Clyde stayed fastened on his seat, unfazed and deterred as he revved the car through the high way.“Young Master_ after the gala tonight by the morrow, we'd have to leave for Gold city. We've kept her majesties waiting for so long.” Danielle said. Her - also unperturbed by the raving, lightning speed of the car, she had that much faith in him.“They can wait a little bit longer, can't they? Like I said before, I have other matters I need to attend to. And a new business to run_” He said with a smirk. He turned the steering wheel, giving it a sharp, quick precision as he drove through the bending corner. His car, moving like a lightning bolt.*The gala night at Tesslar Corporation marked a pivotal moment. It wasn’t just a lavish event; it was a declaration—a bold statement that the company was under new, dynamic leadership, bold and unapologetic.The venue was a spectacle of luxury. The chandelier, a dazzling cascade of crystals, spun light across the grand hall, while guests sauntere

Love or a tingling feelingAs Clyde and Danielle stepped into the grand, glittering ballroom, the Master of Events seized the moment, calling the guests to the dance floor. He could feel the heat between the two, and he wanted to harness their energy to spark life into the party.Clyde turned to Danielle, his green eyes glinting with mischief under the chandelier's light. Without a word, without waiting for her response, he reached for her waist, his touch firm yet gentle. Danielle froze for a second, a shiver coursed up her spine, leaving her breathless. Startled by the intensity of her own reaction, she glanced down at his hands, then up at his face. His steady gaze disarmed her, and for the first time, she felt something unfamiliar—something she couldn’t name.He reached for her right hand, lifting it with an effortless grace. His smile was warm, teasing. She managed a faint smile in return, battling the emotions bubbling within her.“Relax,” he whispered, his voice low, steady, an

The helicopter roared above the ground, its blades slicing through the air with a deafening intensity. The sheer force of the rotating blades stirred the earth below, sending plants swaying wildly and loose leaves spiraling into the air. Dust and debris danced in the chaotic wind, creating a haze around the landing zone.One after the other, five military men descended from the aircraft, each gripping tightly onto a thick, sturdy rope. Their movements were swift but precise, their bodies clad in fully knitted tactical gear designed for the mission ahead. The black helmets, bulletproof vests, and camouflage patterns blended seamlessly with the dim light of the forested area.Their boots hit the ground with a muted thud, each man landing in a crouched position, weapons at the ready. The soldiers immediately fanned themselves into formation, their eyes scanning the area with hawk-like vigilance. The tension in the air was palpable as the craft blades above continued their furious rotatio

In her memories_ she could recall how his face fell on her intently, and how all eyes were on them at the gala. His softened gaze broke the walls around her heart and he ushered himself in without permission.She remembered the feel of his lips when she crashed hers on his in front of Clarissa.Her tongue swam through her lips, wetting it. But then_she reminded herself that she was just an ordinary assistant.Instead of dwell in self loathe, her mind tried to figure out a way out of the distress. She thought about a thousand and one thing then suddenly, a very brilliant idea crossed her mind.Still in chains, she counted the numbers of guards at the exits and around. She realizes she won't be able to out do all of them on her own. So she started strategizing how to get out of there.*It was midnight.There night was dark as coal serve for the moon that gave off a little light.Her shut eyes opened up abruptly, woken by her instincts. She realized everyone around her seemed off guarde

The day was hot, the sun shone over the battlefield. Blood stained the ground, smoke curled into the sky, and the scent of death filled the air. But Clyde had no time for the fallen. His heart thundered in his chest as he gripped his sword tighter.Danielle was gone.Again.Clyde inhaled deeply, forcing himself to stay calm. Anger was useful, but only if controlled. His vision sharpened, his mind focused. There was no room for failure. Whoever took her, whoever dared to use her as bait would learn the true wrath of the Darkfang Clan.He turned to his men, their faces streaked with blood and sweat."Spread out," he ordered, his voice cutting through the night air. "Track every scent, every footprint. Someone knows where they took her.""Yes, Master!" they responded in unison before dispersing like shadows into the ruined battlefield.Clyde’s earpiece crackle."Master, we found a lead," Walex’s voice came through."Talk.""A survivor. One of the mercenaries from the Villains. He’s wound
CHAPTER 046.
A tense silence filled the grand hall of the Kylain stronghold. Clyde stood at the center, his dark eyes locked onto the Kylain leader. The air crackled with tension, but what held his attention the most were the men standing behind the leader, some mercenaries, not Kylain warriors. They were heavily armed, their faces concealed by masks, their weapons gleaming under the dim chandelier light.A third party?Someone else had entered the fight and tried to sabotage our plans.Clyde exhaled sharply. He had anticipated resistance, but this was different. The Kylains had brought outside forces into their war. This wasn’t just a clan dispute anymore."Who are they?" Clyde asked, his voice calm but sharp.The Kylain leader smirked. "You thought this was between us? You underestimate the reach of those who desire the throne."Clyde clenched his jaw. He didn’t like surprises, and this reeked of something bigger."Your father made many enemies, boy," the leader continued. "And you? You are just
CHAPTER 045.
Clyde stood in front of the large glass window in his chamber, hands behind his back, his mind lost in thought. The night sky was dark, but the moon cast a faint silver glow across the city. From here, he could see the vastness of his estate, the territory of the Darkfang Clan stretching beyond the horizon.Tonight would mark the beginning of a war that had been brewing for years.Danielle’s face flickered through his mind again. The thought of her trapped in Seth’s hands made his jaw clench. He should be the one to get her out. He should be the one by her side, but he couldn't afford to risk the mission. If things went wrong, Danielle would suffer, and he wouldn’t allow that.A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts."Come in," he ordered, his voice steady.Craig entered, his expression serious. "Everything is set. We’ll be moving in an hour."Clyde turned to face him. "Good."Craig hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Are you sure about splitting the team like this

“He also said you once saved his life from a fire incident so he feels indebted to you and is willing to help you with this information but_you only and no one else. So far, he seems willing to share some information about Seth, his location and where he is keeping Danielle hostage.” Craig explained.Clyde looked at the man intently, his face not striking any resemblance. Yet he was right about one thing. He did save a number of people from a fire accident long time ago but he harldy recalled anything significant about that event and barely remembered the faces of those he saved or how they looked like.Perhaps he could be telling the truth_part of his facial skin folded upon each other—depicting a once upon a time fire victim. The scars were still there and didn't seem to ever go away.“How sure are you that we should trust this man? This could be a trap!” He said, his face portraying no emotion.“He works as one of Seth's men.” Craig replied.Clyde's eyes narrowed as he looked at th

He sighed and pinched his nose bridge. “Danielle has been kidnapped.” He said calmly, his breath was sharp and deep, finally he got himself to say it.They stood, quiet and calm, their faces betrayed no emotion.“What?” Clyde was agitated. “Won't you guys say something?” He asked, annoyance evident in his tone.“We're waiting for your orders, Young master.” They responded calm and professional.He sighed.They were right—his orders.He should've handled this professionally and less emotional just as he was taught in training than let sentiment cloud his judgement and thinking.“I need more men!” He repeated, his tone low but audible. “I need men that'll sweep through the entire empire until Seth Mandeep is found and apprehended.” he spoke, his tone deep and icy.“You order we execute!” They said, “Your wish is our command.”“Danielle must be rescued alive!” He emphasized.“Roger.” They saluted. “No worries Master, this matter is settled, you're in safe hands.” Craig said, his face sta

Clyde didn't respond. In terms of size or status, this man had it all. Compared to him he took the likeness of a buzzing fly_ regardless— he made up his mind. He wasn't one to chatter so he was not going to banter words with him.While he thought he gave baby punches_ he was tasting the waters, strategizing and trying to figure out where would strike the most if he was to hit him. Seeking for his most vulnerable side.He kept looking strategically until he found it and though he received a black eye from that challenge he gave that fat, arrogant jerk a reason to visit the hospital.Since then he was feared the most in the training ground.The man in question was tall, huge, had long dark hair that flowed over his shoulders and he loved wearing wolf skin. —-*Danielle blinked slowly, her eyes adjusting to the blinding rays of the sun. She yawned, spitting a strand of hair that almost got into her mouth—that was a long sleep.She attempted to move her body but realized that she was in

“She hasn't woken yet, your men must've given her too much of that drug!” She complained, irritation lacing on her words.“She'll wake when it wears off.” Seth shot back, his tone dripping with annoyance. Angry that she's unsatisfied with anything he does.“This better not make Clyde turn beast mode on us. I expected you to capture both of them.” She retorted sharply.“Well, he wasn't home.” he shrugged, dismissing her reprimand.He left Danielle and strode somewhere else.“Next time wait till he is.” she chipped in, her voice raising to the ceiling.He scowled, muttering under his breath, "Ungrateful bit—"“You said something?" she asked, her sharp ears catching his mumbled insult."No... I meant, yes. Yes ma'am__ I'll do better next time" he quickly corrected himself, forcing a smile, his tone bordering on mockery.She looked at him suspiciously, “Now listen to me.” her eyes dimmed, her voice commanding.“Try not to lay any of those filthy hands of yours on her. She's not your play
