Mateusz’s indifferent reaction infuriated Christian. Without hesitation, a kick landed on the man’s face.“You bastard! Have you lost your mind?” yelled Christian.The kick pushed Mateusz’s head backward, causing it to hit the wall.Mateusz’s nose started bleeding, and the back of his head was bruised from just one attack.“Argh!”Mateusz was in pain. He held his face and the back of his head.“Hurts?” asked Christian, walking towards Mateusz.Now, he squatted in front of Mateusz, grabbing his hair.“Is that all the pain you feel? What about Zofia, whom you stabbed in the stomach with scissors?” Christian asked, glaring at Mateusz.Despite the pain in his face, the back of his head, and his hair, Mateusz replied, “She deserves that pain so she knows the agony in my heart for what she did to me.”Christian pulled Mateusz’s hair harder, saying, “You scumbag! Don’t you realize you’re the one causing your own pain? Everything you’re feeling now is because of your actions! Zofia never did
Not only Christian appeared anxious; the two women present there were also visibly concerned.Yve held her forehead with her right hand, and her left hand was placed on her waist.“I never expected Mateusz to do this. I know he’s a bad and arrogant guy, but I never thought he could be this bold and reckless,” Yve said, staring at the floor.Then Christian turned his gaze back to the doctor. He asked, “How likely is it that she’ll recover, Doc?”The doctor seemed hesitant to say. Several times, he appeared to be deep in thought.“I think the chances of her surviving are less than 30%. But it all depends on God. Let’s just pray that Zofia recovers,” the doctor said.Upon hearing that, Zofia’s personal secretary burst into tears. Perhaps she was the only one who would suffer a loss if Zofia passed away, as she had been the one closest to Zofia.Yve then hugged the woman to calm her and prevent further tears.“Well, I’ll excuse myself now,” the doctor said, then left.Afterward, the three
Christian picked up the two small objects and examined them. After a moment, he placed them back.“Where did your men find these objects in Octagon?” Christian asked.“At the lower part of the iron. These objects can conduct electricity to the edges of Octagon, which is made of steel that can conduct electricity,” explained Darrell.The man then picked up one of the small objects. He said, “So when Mr. Demetri is cornered or there’s an error that forces him to touch the steel wire, someone will activate this object remotely, and the electric current will flow instantly. Mr. Demetri will be shocked instantly. Due to the high voltage, it can make Mr. Demetri faint immediately.”Christian leaned back, crossing his legs. He seemed to be deep in thought.“They surely have a thousand ways to cheat and defeat Mr. Demetri. Ravon already knows how strong Mr. Demetri is, so they anticipate Ravon’s defeat by using dirty tactics,” Darrell added.Christian nodded and said, “I understand. I won’t b
Alaric and Orion, neither of them dared to refuse orders from Marigold.Nevertheless, the old woman was the family leader. Although Orion would replace her soon, he had grown accustomed to holding Marigold in high respect.“Alright, Grandma, I’ll find his contact. After that, I’ll send an official message to Ambrose,” Orion said.The man no longer cared about professionalism when it came to carrying out orders from his grandmother.After a while, Ambrose Demetri’s social media account was finally found.“I’ve got his social media contact. I just need to craft a professional and serious message. After finishing, I’ll inform Grandma,” Orion stated.Marigold nodded silently.***Christian arrived at Kowalska Company for the first time as the new owner.Darrell successfully convinced Manuel to release the company to Mr. Demetri to ease the troubles he was facing.Certainly, with no other choice and unwilling to add to his problems, Manuel handed over the company without a single penny.Al
Christian was extremely surprised when he saw the head of the orphanage, the motherly figure, in a photo with Zofia. He had never known about this before; his first encounter with Zofia was when she came to his company to submit a tender proposal.However, there was no suspicion in Christian’s mind, and he didn’t consider the photo to be peculiar. Consequently, he placed it back where it belonged.Little did he know, if he had delved into the truth, Anika and Zofia shared a much closer bond than he could imagine. Anika was, in fact, Zofia’s biological mother.For a long time, Manuel and Carmen had claimed that Zofia’s birth mother died in an accident, but it was all mere nonsense. Carmen was the mastermind behind it all. She had planned Anika’s murder by tampering with the brakes of her car, resulting in a severe accident. Anika had to remain in a coma for a year before finally regaining consciousness.However, by the time Anika woke up, Manuel had already remarried Carmen.Of course,
Emma was surprised when her hand was held, and she heard that Naoki wanted to talk in the CCTV control room.She hoped that the head of security would not allow it to happen. She was aware that if the two of them were in there, she would likely be in danger. Especially since it was a soundproof room where even her screams wouldn’t be heard outside.However, she was currently following orders from Mr. Demetri to investigate the financial director’s office. Surely Mr. Demetri wouldn’t ask her to retrieve the recording without a reason.Naoki must have done something!“Why do we need to talk in there? Can’t we talk here?” Emma asked, furrowing her brow.Naoki shifted his gaze to Emma. He then leaned in and whispered, “I’m sure you’ll like it.”Naoki turned back to Vicky and said, “Why are you still silent? I’ll send your family their favorite food this afternoon.”Vicky understood the meaning behind Naoki’s words, and he had no other choice.“All right, Mr. Naoki. I will instruct the sta
Naoki was truly surprised when he saw Christian approaching with blazing anger, almost causing him to jump.“Mr. Demetri, you finally came!” exclaimed Naoki.Emma was startled by what Naoki said, as was Christian.In the current situation, Naoki should have been cornered for his wrongdoing. But why was he so relieved by Christian’s presence?This was confusing!“What do you mean? Let her go!”Christian pointed at Naoki, who still had his hand on Emma’s shoulder.Naoki immediately released Mrs. Emma calmly.“She invited me to collaborate in committing a crime. She told me that she would give me 100 million to cover up her wrongdoing,” Naoki lied.Christian furrowed his brow. Then he asked, “What kind of crime are you talking about?”Naoki looked at Emma first and said, “You stay here, don’t try to escape!”After saying that, Naoki
Naoki hoped that with the final threat he issued, he could free himself. He felt confident about it.Somehow, though, there was no fear within him towards Christian Demetri. Even though he knew that the person in front of him was the Protector.“You should reconsider trying to capture me. Because, it’s not you who will be the victim of my loyalists’ wrath, but your families, the ones you cherish the most. Think about it carefully!” Naoki said earnestly.Christian got provoked by the man’s words, who targeted the families of security officers and also Emma. It was something that Christian couldn’t forgive.With a single swift motion, Christian kicked Naoki in the stomach, sending him flying. It wasn’t just Naoki who got thrown, but also a security officer holding onto Naoki’s body from behind, who was also sent flying.Instantly, Naoki started spitting fresh blood from his mouth.“Daring to threaten by bringing up families, who do you think you are? Hah!” Christian exclaimed while walk
