Ignoring the pain, Dylan clenched his jaw and replied, “It’s nothing. Keep driving; we can’t afford to slow down now.”Their adrenaline still pumping, they drove through the city streets, leaving Reality Bar behind them. The fight might have been over, but the repercussions were far from finished. They knew that James wouldn’t take their escape lightly.Leonard glanced at Dylan’s tense expression in the rearview mirror and said urgently, “I’m not sure we’re being followed, Dylan. We need to get you to a hospital this instant!”Without waiting for a response, Leonard swiftly swerved the car in the direction of the nearest hospital and drove towards the nearest hospital.As they rushed through the city streets, Dylan’s phone began to ring. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Stephanie. He let out a weary sigh and answered, “Hello.”"Dylan, where are you?" Stephanie's worried voice came through the phone."I said I wasn't going to be home tonight," Dylan responded."No, Dylan. You

Madame Beth stared at Allison's new car in awe, shaking her head in disbelief. "No. This has to be a joke, Allison. You're trying to make me think differently about Dylan, I know that. You were promoted to director of sales, right? Now, you’ve used enough money to buy yourself an expensive car."In annoyance, Allison rolled her eyes and addressed her mother, "Seriously, Mom, what more do I have to say for you to believe me? And besides, I only just found out today that I was promoted to director of sales. Dylan bought this for me today, and it was surprising."Confusion and frustration etched on her face, Madame Beth looked at Allison and frowned, "I refuse to believe this. That guy is trying to make a fool out of you, and out of every one of us. If he was the one who gave you this car, that means he probably stole it. Do you know the shame I will receive if that bastard becomes my son-in-law? Do you even care about me, Allison?! I don't think you do, and I've never been disappointed

Knock knock knock.It was a new day and very early so who could be knocking?Dylan rushed to open the door and was shocked to see Princess Mane standing there.“Hey, my love,” she greeted, her usual cocky self.Dylan shook his head with a huff and opened the door for her to enter. He hadn’t seen her and Azure King in a while.“Somehow, I just knew you were gonna be here. I think it’s high time you actually buy a house, Dylan,” she remarked, turning to face him.“I guess,” Dylan replied nonchalantly, before asking, “So how’s… everyone?”Princess Mane walked up to Dylan and said, “Don’t you think it’s high time you completely take over Apex? Why have you been stalling?”“Nothing.” Dylan shook his head and answered. “Yet. I'll do that once I've had everything that I want.”Princess Mane scoffed at his response “You mean, your new bitch, Allison. I still can't understand what you see in her. Anyway, something is happening so you have to be careful. My dad’s family does not like you at all

"Kristan, do you have them cornered?" Romero's voice came through the earpiece."Yes, boss. Although he's with a woman, should I take her out too?" Kristan inquired, awaiting his boss's instructions."Kill anyone in the way," Romero coldly ordered."Roger that, boss. They stand no chance," Kristan replied with a malicious smirk before opening fire on Dylan's Aston Martin.As the reality of facing a sniper set in, Dylan caught a glimpse of the glinting scope in the direction Princess Mane had pointed."I see it," he acknowledged, his mind quickly formulating a plan. "Hold on tight!"Dylan abruptly steered the car into a sudden swerve, narrowly avoiding a hail of bullets. The tires screeched, leaving marks on the road as he skillfully changed direction, making it difficult for the sniper to predict their movements.“F*ck!” Kristan cursed, growing frustrated at the unexpected resilience of his targets. “Those bastards think they can outsmart me. Let's see about that.” Let’s see about tha

Romero was in an angry phase at the thought of one of his men being dead, killed by Dylan Clifford. It was enough to make him realize that dealing with Dylan was not going to be a walk in the park.A knock resounded on the door of his office in one of his warehouses, but he chose not to answer. His face scrunched up in frustration as he contemplated how to exact revenge on Dylan for what he did.“Boss, it's James Lance. I need to speak with you. It's urgent.” James called out from the other side of the door and knocked again.Reluctantly, Romero grunted and said, “Come in.”James entered the room and approached Romero. “Boss. The guy who caused trouble at the club the other day, I've tracked him down and taken care of him.”Romero arched an eyebrow at the news. “You took care of him? Where's the evidence?”James pulled out a photo and displayed it. “Here's the proof. He's dead and gone. I investigated further and found out he's not even a cop or anyone significant. Just a nobody tryin

Mason shook his head because he considered Dylan stupid at that moment. “It seems you do not yet realize the precarious situation that you're in, Dylan. Do you know who those men are? I can guarantee you’ll meet a sticky end if you don’t follow my orders.”“Alright, spill the beans, who's their master?” Dylan asked, suppressing his anger.Mason sneered and lounged back in his chair. “Some of the heavy hitters from Apex Conglomerate. You know where to track them down at the Diamond market. I had to fork over five thousand dollars to get them on board. These men are here to teach you the biggest lesson of your life, you son of a bitch!”Apex Conglomerate. Is that right?“Every man from the Apex Conglomerate is brutal and notorious, Dylan. I mean, I’d rather poke a hornet’s nest than mess with anyone from Apex Conglomerate, especially the chieftains of the underground, they are downright intimidating. I’m sure you won’t know much about them because you're nothing more than a mere and uni

Mason was stunned. Dylan had dared to slap the guys from Apex Conglomerate. He must have a death wish. He couldn't believe what he saw.Dylan had dared to initiate a fight! He's indeed arrogant and ignorant!“Dylan, you have just accelerated your own death! If you had adhered to my wishes from the beginning, you would only be beaten by these men and get away with a few minor injuries. But now, you actually dared to slap their faces. I'm afraid you'll be crippled for sure,” Mason mocked.Seeing that the men just stood in front of Dylan, Mason shouted in annoyance, “What are you guys waiting for?! He started a fight, so end it with him crawling on the floor for forgiveness!”“Just shut the f*ck up this instant!” One of the men yelled at Mason angrily.Although they were slapped by Dylan, there was only fear in their hearts.Mason was puzzled. Was he just told to shut up?“Do you know why I slapped you?” Dylan looked indifferently at the four of them, greatly disappointed that there are
