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
After receiving instructions from her father, the woman immediately prepared the healing potion for the God.30 minutes later, Christian finished performing the movements given by Lee within the duration specified by the old man.“How about it, do you feel anything within you?” Lee asked as Christian just sat down beside him.The usually cold floor didn’t feel cold to Christian after the exercise, but now, for some reason, it felt colder.“I feel my body becoming lighter. But actually, I wanted a more challenging workout. At least like the first time, lifting water weights,” Christian said, feeling dissatisfied with the given exercise.Lee raised his eyebrows, asking, “Why? Aren’t you satisfied with the current training?”“I’m not sweating at all; I don’t think this is a workout. It’s more like meditation,” Christian replied.Perhaps Christian forgot Lee’s words about exploring the natural power within him to make it the core strength. Or maybe he wasn’t aware that what Lee gave him w
The nurse intended to report Christian to the police after witnessing him giving a suspiciously toxic-looking medicine to Zofia.“This is not poison! Look at this! It’s a traditional remedy given by the teacher to help heal Zofia,” Christian explained, showing the medicine he had provided.The nurse stuck to her judgment that the medicine given by Christian was dangerous.“But you should be aware that the patient is currently unconscious. You shouldn’t give random medication like this. The patient’s body is weak right now!” the nurse said.Christian was about to say something else, but the nurse walked out of the room. Unwillingly, Christian grabbed the woman’s arm forcefully. However, the pull was so strong that it made her fall into his arms.“Let’s talk peacefully. How about it? I’ll give you 100 million; you just need to pretend not to know anything,” Christian said, trying to persuade with money, as if he knew that the nurse needed it for her child’s school expenses.She was faci
Emma hesitated in her response. She was worried that Zofia might misinterpret what she said, which could adversely affect Zofia’s relationship with Christian Demetri.“Why are you silent? Come on, tell me! Tell everything without covering up or exaggerating!” Zofia exclaimed with an impatient expression due to her overwhelming curiosity. She couldn’t help but be curious, as this concerned her parents.“Mr. Demetri got angry and decided to bankrupt Mr. Manuel and take over the entire Kowalska family,” explained Emma.Zofia furrowed her brow upon hearing this. She knew Christian was a strong and influential person. However, Zofia doubted whether Christian could bankrupt her family.“So, what happened next? Can Mr. Demetri really make my family go bankrupt?” asked Zofia. She attempted to move to lean against the bedhead, but due to the pain in her stomach, she refrained.Emma nodded. Then she said, “Mr. Demetri can do it in the blink of an eye. He said it at night, and by morning, the ci
Certainly, the news about Orion, who was Christian’s wife’s Yvette Delta’s cousin, was of great importance to Ambrose and Reginald along with their loyalists.Reginald could use Orion as someone who could provide accurate information and dangerous actions that could jeopardize Christian’s life.His personal secretary combined her thoughts. Then she said, “I’ve inquired about this to someone in New York. From the information obtained, it turns out Orion De Delta is the cousin of Yvette De Delta, who was recently revealed to be Christian Demetri’s wife.”Ambrose smiled broadly. This news truly made him happy.“All right then, thank you very much. I’ll inform you later after I discuss this matter with Uncle Reginald,” Ambrose said as he stood up.“Very well, Sir!” replied the secretary.Ambrose walked out of the room and headed to Reginald’s office to deliver this significant news.“Uncle, there’s something I need to tell you!” Ambrose exclaimed without permission and without knocking on
Darrell fell silent upon receiving that question from Diego. He, too, began to doubt the decision he had just made.However, Darrell couldn’t retract what he had said because, at the moment, the best course of action was to surprise Ravon and Gideon Young.After contemplating for a moment, Darrell said, “In that case, you need to control your emotions better. Only act if they engage physically. I’m giving you a chance to defend yourself and your troops.”“As for that matter, I understand. But should we discuss this issue with Mr. Demetri? What if he disagrees with our current actions?” Diego asked. His facial expression clearly revealed his fear that Christian would be greatly displeased with him.Darrell replied, “Currently, Mr. Demetri cannot be reached. He’s been going back and forth between Puncak and New York for several days; I don’t know what he’s up to, but it seems crucial for him. It’s related to his preparation to face Ravon.”Diego furrowed his brow, feeling perplexed. “Wh
