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

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

"Hey there, Miss. It’s been ages since I laid eyes on such a stunning lady.”Allison gave the man a quizzical look, wondering where his sudden flattery came from. “What?”The man chuckled and explained, “My bad if it came out strange.

Upon hearing Allison’s wish, Dylan remained mostly silent, knowing that he had a lot on his plate before making any decisions about buying a house for their future together. He understood that dealing with his enemies was a priority before he could settle down.The following day, Dylan set out alone to Red’s Angels to meet Lord Owens since he got a call from him after being told about the death threat by his daughter, Princess Mane. He boarded a taxi after dropping Maya off at school.As the taxi sped along the streets, Dylan’s gut instincts tingled, warning him that something was terribly wrong.

“ARGHHHH! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!” Romero shouted at the top of his lungs as he cleared everything on his desk in anger. He just received the news about their failure to kill Dylan and worse of all, he lost a lot of trustworthy men to it.“How could I have let them outmaneuver me in my own game?!” he seethed.“Boss, it all went pear-shaped in the blink of an eye. At first, we were the ones with the upper hand, we had him in our claws and we were very sure that he was gonna die in our arms, Then, out of nowhere, a bunch of well-trained men showed up, heavily armed and outgunning us. They came for him,” one of the hoodlums recounted.Romero’s frustration simmered, his chest heaving with rapid breaths. “Describe these men to me,” he demanded.“We recognized one of them, boss. It was none other than the Azure King. One of the chieftains of the underground faction.”Romero’s face went as white as a sheet. “Apex Conglomerate? Dylan Clifford had the backing of Apex Conglomerate, and not jus
