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
They were indeed unable to refuse the orders issued by Christian. But they, especially Darrell, felt very hesitant to do so. Therefore, Darrell did not say anything to agree with what Christian had commanded.Upon receiving that response, Mr. Demetri furrowed his brow. He found Darrell’s behavior strange.“What’s wrong, Darrell? Is there something you want to ask, or something that makes you hesitate?” Christian inquired.Darrell nodded very slowly and with great hesitation.“I apologize beforehand, Mr. Demetri, if I offend your feelings,” Darrell said.Christian smiled strangely, then said, “Sure, go ahead, speak your mind. I won’t be offended, don’t worry!”Darrell nodded. Then he glanced briefly at Diego and Alex and returned his gaze to Christian.“Gideon Young is a member of the Young Family. That family is one of the 5 major families in US that can determine US’s fate. Simply put, they are influential figures who are difficult to touch,” Darrell explained.Christian had heard ab
As Darrell had suspected, Gideon had a cunning plan to help Ravon defeat Christian.“Just make sure you prepare yourself, train hard, and don’t be reckless. Don’t think you’re stronger than that guy. If you lose, I’ll kill you! Remember that!” Gideon exclaimed.Ravon nodded, saying, “I am ready to sacrifice myself to save the honor of the Young Family.”“But don’t forget to find Claudia. Don’t let her escape for too long. I don’t want her to spill the beans to the media. If she does that, Daddy will kill me,” Gideon reminded.“Don’t worry, Sir. I always complete the tasks given to me. This time will be no different; I will handle it!” Ravon confidently declared.Gideon nodded his head towards the door, signaling Ravon to leave the room.Ravon understood and immediately bid farewell, exiting Gideon’s room.***Accompanied by Dorota, Christian headed towards the summit to meet the old man he encountered in the underground martial arts arena the night before.“Who does Mr. Demetri want t
The attack launched by Lee was truly unexpected for all of them. There were no signs that the old man was evil and wanted to harm Christian.Dorota, who was about to flee, abandoned her intention when she saw Christian being hit by Lee’s attack, causing him to be thrown and hit the wall.She wanted desperately to help Christian, but there was also a deep fear as she observed Lee’s figure. How could it be? Christian, a person who could be thrown by a punch from Lee.Christian held his stomach, which was hit by Lee’s attack, while trying to stand.“Mr. Lee! What are you doing? Why are you attacking me? Have I offended you?” Christian asked, still thinking positively and not believing that the old man was someone evil.The serious expression on Lee’s face since earlier now turned into a smile.Dorota, seeing the old man smile, immediately felt disgusted. Right now, she wished she could vomit on Lee’s face.“I’ve said it, haven’t I? You have natural talent and inherited the power of natur
Yang Lee didn’t expect Christian to have such a strong enthusiasm for learning martial arts. Even with the demonstration of his natural abilities, Christian didn’t feel arrogant at all and believed that he didn’t need to practice anymore.However, it was quite the opposite; he was eager to quickly learn martial arts to improve his weaknesses.“Are you sure you want to start now?” Lee asked.Christian nodded firmly and said, “I’m very serious! If not now, then when?”Christian understood that learning martial arts couldn’t be accomplished in a short time. Achieving each level required a long process, sometimes spanning decades.One reason why most martial arts masters are elderly is the lengthy learning period.Lee glanced at the reddening sky, indicating that it was already 5 in the evening.“Alright then, let’s start with the first lesson. Come with me!” Lee said, standing up and walking towards the side of his house, then turning to the back.Christian and Dorota stood up immediatel
Previously, Claudia had high hopes for Christian. She believed that only he could help her resolve this issue.Claudia always thought that her future life would become complicated. Surely, Gideon Young wouldn’t let her go easily, fearing that Claudia might expose his wrongdoing.To avoid Gideon Young’s henchmen, Claudia couldn’t even turn on her phone. She only activated it this afternoon and received a message from Yve. However, it wasn’t just any message that connected them; there were numerous unknown numbers attempting to call or send messages, some with just the letter “P.”But now, Darrell asked her to cover up this problem, or more precisely, forget about it.“Don’t worry, my men will watch over you 24/7 and follow you wherever you go. So, you’ll be safe,” Darrell assured her.Claudia took a deep breath with her eyes closed.After contemplating for a moment, she nodded and said, “Alright, I will keep this issue from Mr. Demetri. I’m also aware of the potential danger if Mr. Dem
