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

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.

"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. I couldn’t help but gaze at you from afar. Your beauty has this mesmerizing effect that makes all my worries fade away. It’s like you’re a ray of sunshine that brightens up my gloomy days. I just had to come over here to

Julia said without breath.Allison was taken aback by her sister’s rapid-fire speech, as it sounded like she was speaking with an alien language. Hold your horses, Jules. What did you just say? Take a deep breath and say it again."Julia took a deep breath, calming herself before reiterating her words, “Today, I’ve been contemplating my life, and I realized that I don’t even have Dylan’s contact information, but I need it because I have something urgent to discuss with him.”Allison furrowed her brow and inquired, “What’s the reason behind needing his number? How does Dylan fit into your plans, and why do you want to reach out to him?”“Oh, you’re bombarding me with questions

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. He caught a glimpse of the driver’s suspicious glances through the rearview mirror, the once-friendly smile now replaced by a sinister expression. Alarm bells rang in his mind, but he tried to stay composed.His phone suddenly started ringing, and checking the caller ID, Dylan realized it was Azure King. He picked up the call and said, “I’m guessing you must be in the loop too.”“Well, your

“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

Dylan’s eyes widened in horror as he listened to James’ sinister words over the phone. “What?! You bastard, what have you done with Leo?!”Azure King and Lord Owens observed Dylan closely, sensing his anger and understanding that something was terribly wrong.“Oh, come on, Dylan. Of course your friend is fine for now, otherwise, how would I use him as a pawn against you? Between the two of you, Leo is a drop in the ocean compared to you — you’re the big fish, you know? You're the one I'm truly after. So if you care about this useless friend of yours, then you're gonna have to do as I say.” James taunted over the phone.Dylan sighed, trying to keep his countenance calm. “What's wrong with people trying to blackmail these days? So you think you’ve hit the jackpot because you have Leonard, right?”“He’s been your best friend since high school, and I know you care about him deeply, considering you broke my leg to protect him. That memory is still fresh in my mind,” James replied.Dylan ch
