“Stop and explain yourself, Lucy,” Elsin blurted. “Don’t take Dad’s patience for granted.”“W-What’s there to explain, Brother?” Lucy retorted in a soft manner. “How would I have expected that punk Liam to boldly speak to the media like he did? He’s crazy! How can anyone predict what a crazy man would do?”“You think he’s crazy?” Roman intervened. “That man knew exactly what he was doing. If he had only told the lies, then it wouldn’t have been much of a problem for us because most people wouldn’t fall for such lies. However, he subtly mixed lies and truths together, so much so that even experts who can detect lies from body language will have a hard time to tell whether he’s lying or telling the truth. That man is not just any billionaire, Lucy. He had a history of being in the dark and fighting the dark forces since long ago, but for some reason, he stopped doing all those vigilante acts. Otherwise, someone would have long killed him. But if we touch him now, we’ll only be making hi

There have been plenty of instances when Elora felt helpless after leaving her dad and her home and wealth.However, she never really felt like going back to her dad, not even when some men lusted after her and troubled and scared her quite a bit.But now, when Nora told her on the mobile that the woman that took Russell was from the Payseur family, the same Payseur family that Liam Lynn mentioned on the television, she couldn’t be calm anymore.She had two hands, two legs, and a heart full of love for her son, but yet, she felt so helpless right now as everything she had was not useful in helping her own son.She thought about the ways that she could help her son.In the end, she got into Russell’s car and drove somewhere hastily.Somewhere else in the city.“You can kill multiple giants at the same time,” Liam was telling his lawyers. “Let us focus on one giant right now. One giant. One Payseur family. After that we can deal with Blacroc, Sanguard, and others that support them. But

In Rues Castle.Elsin was talking with a group of people using his hologram. “We will get all the birds at once. We’re capable of doing that. Anyone who fails will be punished without mercy, so do your jobs well.”“Yes, sir.” Among those that agreed, Teresa was also there.After the meeting ended, Teresa was feeling excited. “The era of the Lynn family is going to end soon. The Creed Zone will be taken over. We will have also gotten more control over the Conreid Company. Other big companies are already on their way into coming under our control. Within just a couple of months, I can see this entire country completely coming under the control of the Payseur family and their allies. Since they won’t be directly doing the job, I’m sure they will give it to ME. Hahaha. It is finally my time to shine! I’ll show Nora how money shouldn’t be wasted on charity! I’ll show Charlotte and Stacy Heller that they’re not worthy of getting my appointment! I’ll get my grandchildren married into royal f

Russell and Lucy were put in the same dark cell, where there wasn’t even a single candle.It was completely dark, but they were given only one candle and were told to use it for the next 24 hours.Lucy lit it up right away, but Russell blew the flame off.“Why did you do that?” she asked.“Let’s not waste it,” he said. “We’ll use it when it’s beneficial for us.”“Beneficial?” Some weird thoughts ran through her mind. “Are you talking about the time when we’re going to have sex?”“Don’t say such crazy things,” Russell blurted. “I am going to escape from this place. So, let’s not waste the candle light right now.”“Escape from here? Hahaha,” she laughed out loud. “That’s impossible.”“Nothing is impossible,” he said.“Is that so?” Lucy went silent for a while. “It is impossible for me to get away from my family.”Russell didn’t say anything at first, but then he asked, “Why do you want to stay away from your family?”“It’s an embarrassing story, but I’m sure I’m not the only woman who e

Jessica was talking on stage in a seminar conducted for the programmers working for Dream Creed.“We’re going to be working late hours for the first few months,” she told everyone. “So be prepared for it. Of course, you’re going to receive a fat bonus if you do a good job. Those are not my words, but my boss’ words.”“Ma’am,” one of the women raised their hands. “These past few days, our company has been greatly attacked by the media.”“Isn’t it only natural for others to envy us when we’re doing great?” Jessica replied.“No, it’s not about that, ma’am, but… what do you think about their statement that there aren’t enough female programmers in this company? I mean, we’re talking about a 1:14 female to male ratio here. Isn’t that unfair and strange?”“What’s so strange about it?” Jessica retorted. “Can you, as a woman, stay at night and work long hours every day, even as a programmer? I don’t think so. Women have many things to consider compared to men who are built to work outside. So

Elsin entered the cellar and turned his head toward Russell. The indifference was clear in his eyes. He didn’t even say a word and just raised his gun.Russell’s eyes widened. He raised his arms in self defense and rushed forward.Elsin shot as if he was killing a rat.The bullet luckily struck the metal cuffs and bounced off.“Haa!” Russell slapped Elsin’s hands, and the gun fell out of the cellar. Russell joined his hands and thrust both hands at Elsin’s face at the same time and struck him as hard as he could.Elsin was hit hard, but he withstood the attack and then replied with a kick in the gut that sent Russell a couple of steps backward.“You little shit! How dare you touch me with your dirty hands!” Elsin ragefully rained punches on Russell left and right. Russell lowered his center of mass and receive all the attacks to his arms and shoulders, guarding his head properly. He kept moving so that he wouldn’t be cornered.Elsin was a grown man with practice in boxing. His punches

A few minutes earlier.“Thank you for not just healing me,” Roddick bowed before an old lady who was wearing a rabbit mask, “but also revitalizing me. I feel like my bones have gotten stronger. Now, I can do much more than I ever imagined. Coming to this city is more than worth it. Thank you.”“No big deal, kid,” she kept her voice indifferent. “Just don’t forget to make the world suffer. That’s all I want from you. Sow seeds of chaos wherever you go. The world deserves it for stealing so much from us.”“I will definitely do it, ma’am,” Roddick said.She used an electronic device to open a portal.Roddick looked astonished. (I want to take the blueprints for this advanced technology, but it’s still too early for that. I have to gain their trust, and then when it’s time, I’ll conquer this city!)“Where do you want to go?” She asked.Regan thought about it for a moment. “I initially planned to deal with my worst enemy, Liam Lynn, who humiliated me! But now, I feel like I can kill him an

Regan initially got the better of Roman, but then the toll of using the hacking system was too much on his old, sick body. He began to cough in the middle of the fight, and this gave plenty of opportunities for Roman to land some good blows on Regan and break his bones.But what astonished Roman was that Regan still tried to stand and fight.Roman frowned. “I don’t get it. What’s making you fight so hard?”“You wouldn’t understand it even if I tell you,” Regan used his hacking system again to put pressure on Roman’s mind, giving him an immense headache.Roman screamed like he never did before. It was humiliating for him that he was being hurt like this by a mere old man when Roman had the history of beating elephants single-handedly.Regan couldn’t use his skill for longer than three seconds now. And then he was down on his knees, bleeding from his nose. His sight also turned blurry.Roman recovered quickly and got back up. “I don’t know how you are messing with me, but this ends now
