With his curiosity piqued, Rolex crept closer without being seen. He hid behind the side of the building.He was greatly surprised to see the three individuals being pushed and forced to kneel before Christian, their heads pressed down, and their hair pulled so forcefully that they appeared to be in extreme pain.“Quick, bow at the feet of Mr. Demetri!” Diego shouted.Christian remained seated in his chair, leaning back. He stayed calm even though Deo and his two friends refused to bow at his feet.Christian raised his hand, instructing Diego to be silent.Of course, Diego immediately fell silent upon receiving the order from Mr. Demetri.“Are you Baltazar’s henchmen?” Christian asked.The three individuals nodded silently.“Do you know me?” Christian inquired again.Again, the three individuals nodded without uttering a word.Christian took out a cigarette, lit it, and ca
While deep in thought, Deo’s phone rang, indicating an incoming call.Diego, who was behind Deo, immediately took the phone and then showed Christian that the caller was Baltazar.“Just give it to Deo, let him answer the call!” exclaimed Christian.Of course, everyone was surprised to hear such an order from Christian. Diego and Darrell finally spoke up to warn Christian of the danger.“Don’t, Mr. Demetri, it’s very dangerous to give it to him,” Diego warned of the impending danger.“If I may suggest, it’s better to leave the phone alone. If Deo says anything suspicious, Baltazar will surely get angry and prepare a force to attack us,” Darrell suggested.Christian frowned. Then he said, “Are you all afraid of Baltazar? If you’re afraid, it’s better for you to step aside. I don’t need people who are scared and not loyal to me.”“It’s not because I’m afraid or not loyal to Mr. Demetri. But it’s for Mr. Demetri’s own good,” said Darrell.Christian just stared at Darrell without saying an
Rolex was undoubtedly frightened upon hearing Diego’s command. He vigorously shook his head and said, “I’m not a spy. I’m Rolex, the cleaner and caretaker of this fishing spot. I work for Christian. Please don’t kill me!”Diego’s henchman was about to step on Rolex’s face, saying, “You’re quite the liar!”However, Diego immediately intervened, kicking the henchman’s leg before it could land on Rolex’s face. He remembered the man who had opened the fishing spot gate when they arrived.“Don’t do that!” Diego ordered.Then, Diego pulled Rolex’s shirt, making the middle-aged man stand.“Why were you spying? Did someone pay you?” Diego inquired.If someone had paid Rolex, Diego would show no mercy. He would be the one to kill Rolex and sink him in the fish pond.Of course, Rolex vehemently denied, “No one paid me. I don’t take money from anyone. I was just curious because I saw three people being dragged in. I had no ulterior motive; it was just curiosity.”Diego lifted Rolex’s shirt, expo
The plan that Christian had already formulated should have been communicated earlier, as Baltazar was set to move in just one hour.Preparing the troops and conveying the strategy to them to avoid misunderstandings or confusion couldn’t be done quickly, especially if the plan was full of tactics.Christian understood this. He immediately shared his plan with all his subordinates.In this plan, Deo played a crucial role.Yes, Christian didn’t just recruit and offer Deo to join with the promise of becoming Baltazar’s successor without a well-thought-out plan.When conveying his plan, all of his subordinates, including Deo and the two leaders of the mafia entertainment network regions, agreed.“Is everyone clear?” Christian asked after explaining his entire plan.“Clear, Sir!” his subordinates replied simultaneously.Christian nodded.Then the entire force quickly began to execute the plan. Alex and Kenji, along with their respective forces, headed straight to the vicinity of Enzay Techn
Who wouldn’t be afraid when facing the barrel of a gun pointed directly at their head? Especially with such intense anger from the person about to pull the trigger.Instinctively, he pushed his body backward until the sofa he was sitting on also shifted.“Boss Baltazar, this is not what you think. I—”“You’ve betrayed me, so prepare to die!” Baltazar shouted again.Then the man pressed the trigger, shooting Deo in the head.Bang!Deo merely lowered his head to avoid Baltazar’s close-range attack. Luckily, the shot missed.Baltazar, already drunk and making his aim unsteady, was the main reason for the shot going off target.Quickly, Deo threw the glass in front of him at Baltazar’s hand holding the firearm.The firearm fell after being hit by the glass thrown by Deo.Seeing the gun within reach, Deo immediately kicked it under the sofa. He didn’t pull the firearm towards himself, fearing Baltazar could reach it.With the gun kicked under the sofa, Baltazar stood up and tried to move t
Baltazar took advantage of Christian’s momentary lapse to attack him, and he succeeded. Christian’s calf was torn, and blood gushed out immediately.He then attempted to retaliate against Christian. He didn’t want to waste this opportunity to end the fight with Christian.However, Christian was able to anticipate Baltazar’s second attack. He caught Baltazar’s right hand, which held a shard of glass, swinging towards his abdomen.Christian then turned the tables, striking Baltazar’s face with extreme force, causing the man’s head to slam into the floor.Not just once, but Christian struck him three times in succession with the same intensity.Thud!Thud!Thud!There was no movement from Baltazar trying to block or counterattack Christian. The first punch that landed on his face made Baltazar’s vision blur.And now, Baltazar was truly defeated. He lay on the floor with a bloodied face, motionless.Dead? Not yet. Baltazar was only unconscious.Seeing their leader injured, Darrell and Die
Camila was confused about how Christian could be involved in all of this.What did he have to do with it?If Christian was involved, there was only one possibility: the man had caused a big problem.Yve shrugged, answering Camila’s questions, “I don’t know either; I’m just guessing.”“What has he done again? When did he pick a fight with someone important or a group of people? So, are those people looking for Christian?” Camila asked, harboring ill thoughts about her son-in-law.“Instead of speculating and ending up slandering Christian, it’s better to ask those people directly outside,” Yve suggested.She took a step forward, but Camila quickly grabbed her hand, making her stop.“Don’t! Where do you think you’re going? It’s dangerous! Better stay inside!” Camila cautioned.Yve shook her head, saying, “No, Mom, I know someone named John. I’ve met him once before. So, don’t worry.”She insisted on meeting John to find out what really happened.Unable to dissuade Yve, Camila chose to ac
The woman truly wanted her daughter to divorce Christian and choose a wealthy man. Her sole reason was to elevate the family’s status.When Declan was at a dead end, Camila turned her attention to a wealthy man commonly referred to as “The Protector” approaching Yve. Camila immediately instructed Yve to marry this man.If only Camila knew that The Protector was Christian himself, she might have been shocked to the core.“Mama, don’t even start! I don’t know that guy, never met him. And besides, I have no intention of finding another husband,” said Yve, boldly entering the house.“Hey, you have to think about your future, Yve. I know you have a company now, but it’s still small. Surely, if you marry that man, he will help your company grow. That’s something very good, isn’t it?” Camila persisted, trying to convince Yve to leave Christian.***After being injured by Baltazar, Christian was immediately taken to the hospital by his subordinates. Upon arrival, his leg was promptly stitched
