Alex furrowed his brow upon hearing Darrell’s instructions. He didn’t understand it at all.“Why can’t we inform Mr. Demetri? Isn’t Claudia Mr. Demetri’s friend?” Alex asked.Darrell crossed his legs, staring sharply into Alex’s eyes. Then he said, “Precisely because Claudia is Mr. Demetri’s friend, he must not know about this problem. If Mr. Demetri finds out, there’s a high chance he’ll take significant actions that could endanger himself.”“You know who’s involved with Claudia; he’s from the Young Family, the leaders of the martial arts organization. Dealing with them won’t be easy. Now we have Deo and his connections, but that’s not enough to go against the Young Family,” Darrell continued.Alex couldn’t accept Darrell’s thoughts. He believed their network could triumph over the Young Family’s network because he saw their mafia network as solid and competent.“But I think we can win against them. Right now, we have Mr. Demetri with significant power. Not only physical strength but
Christian immediately contacted Alex to instruct him to find Claudia’s whereabouts. The last time he saw Claudia was in Young’s territory.“Searching for Claudia, boss?” Alex asked, slightly surprised.“Yes. Because all phone and social media access show no activity. The last time I met her was at the martial arts arena owned by the Young Family. Please search around there, and I will also ask John to check Claudia’s apartment,” said Christian.There was no reason for Alex to refuse Christian’s order.“Alright, Boss. I’ll try to find her,” Alex said.“Okay. Thank you!” Christian replied.“You’re welcome, Boss!” Alex said with uncertainty. He felt guilty for covering up what Claudia was really going through.On the other hand, Alex couldn’t refuse Darrell’s orders either. If he revealed this to Mr. Demetri, he feared Darrell would teach him a lesson. Moreover, if anything happened to Mr. Demetri, Darrell would undoubtedly kill him.When the call ended, Alex threw his phone onto the sof
Hearing that Diego was going to meet Dante, Alex pulled Diego’s hand to warn him.“Diego, you shouldn’t meet him. Boss Darrell doesn’t want us to be at odds with the martial arts organization. If you go there, it will surely lead to friction,” Alex said, advising Diego not to go.“But if we stay silent, they will treat us unfairly later on, especially if they find out we’re hiding Claudia without any intention of giving ultimatums or threats. This is very dangerous for our organization,” Diego said.“Let’s wait and see what Boss Darrell will do. If the situation isn’t favorable, I’ll be with you to meet Dante,” Alex said.Diego thought for a moment. Then he nodded in agreement with Alex’s plan.They both walked to the headquarters to wait for Darrell.After about 5 minutes of waiting, Darrell arrived. Without wasting time, they all headed straight to the Diamond Hotel.Upon arriving at the Hotel Diamond, they were all surprised to see Yve’s car in front of the lobby door.“That’s Miss
Ravon, with his impassive face, said, “If I didn’t have a high level of courage, I wouldn’t become an underground martial arts fighter.”Diego grinned. He wasn’t at all intimidated by the background of a man lacking manners. If an ordinary person heard that their opponent was an underground martial arts fighter, they would likely wet themselves.“So, you’re an underground martial arts fighter. It’s unexpected that a man without manners can be a fighter. I wonder what your teacher taught you!” Diego said, shaking his head.“Do you want to know what my teacher taught me?” asked Ravon.After asking that, Ravon suddenly disappeared from view.Everyone only realized where Ravon was when the man spoke loudly, “This is what he taught me!”Diego quickly crossed his arms to block Ravon’s punch aimed at his chest.Due to the force behind Ravon’s punch, Diego was thrown back about 5 meters.Fortunately, Diego managed to block the punch. If not, the man’s ribs would have broken in numerous places
Yve immediately closed her eyes, unable to witness her husband getting hurt.Although their marriage wasn’t initially built on love, at this moment, whether it was called love or something else, Yve cared deeply for Christian.“Christian!” Yve exclaimed with her eyes shut. She thought that Ravon’s punch to Christian’s stomach would cause him pain.But...The blow aimed at his stomach at the right moment was successfully evaded by Christian.He blocked Ravon’s punch with both of his hands extended forward. However, Christian didn’t stop the punch by stiffening his hands like a wall. Instead, he let the force of Ravon’s punch continue towards him, slowing it down and robbing it of its strength.At this moment, Christian immediately turned to attack, pivoting to the right and striking Ravon’s right side of the face with his right elbow.Ravon fell to the floor.Christian could become many times stronger to defend his beloved wife.If he saw his wife being harassed and possibly harmed by
Yve took a deep breath and stomped her foot on the floor, saying, “You’re really annoying, being a guy!”Christian raised both of his hands and replied, “Well, what’s wrong with me? I’m just repeating what you said.”Yve crossed her arms and stared deeply into Christian’s eyes.“Besides learning to be a responsible man, you also need to learn to read a woman’s heart! At least that way, you won’t make a woman annoyed and tired of you!” said Yve with a serious expression.Christian tilted his head and said, “Well then, let me learn from you. Learning directly from a woman, especially a beautiful one like you, will help me learn quickly.”“Maybe next time!” Yve said while pressing the elevator button.The door opened, and Yve entered the lift.As Darrell was about to enter the elevator, Christian raised his hand, signaling Darrell not to enter.“Let me be the one to accompany my wife!” Christian said.Darrell nodded and said, “Alright.”Yve furrowed her brow and asked, “Do you even have
If anything were to happen to Mr. Demetri, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the mafia network led by Darrell.Perhaps not many know that Carlos Demetri is the person responsible for Darrell’s current status. Additionally, Christian, his father, is the largest donor to Darrell’s mafia network, ensuring smooth operations throughout.But most importantly, Carlos Demetri is the one who controls whole US. He can make decisions and enact regulations on behalf of the President in the country.Therefore, Darrell’s network has been able to thrive and remain one of the most feared organizations.Certainly, if something were to happen to Christian Demetri, Darrell’s mafia network would become vulnerable and could easily be toppled. There would be no strong figure supporting them anymore, especially considering Carlos Demetri’s deteriorating health, which is public knowledge.“One option we have is to ensure that there is no foul play by Ravon or the entire Young Family. From wha
Despite knowing the risks of going to public places, Claudia felt that she would be fine as long as she worked with Mr. Demetri and his wife. Somehow, she felt a sense of security.Claudia grabbed a pen and immediately signed the contract brought by Yve without reading the contents again.Yve and Christian exchanged glances without saying a word. But from their eyes, they both understood that they were both confused.“I’ve signed everything. So when can I start shooting?” Claudia asked, handing over the signed contract.“If it’s for shooting, it will be done next week. For today, there will be further updates from my staff who will contact you,” Yve said.Claudia nodded, saying, “Alright then, I’ll wait for further updates from your staff.”Yve nodded.Then the three of them fell silent, not uttering a single word.Silence settled in.After 5 minutes of not talking, Yve decided to say goodbye.“Claudia, I have to go now. There’s still a lot of work that I need to finish. Thank you so
