Christian was deeply concerned about Yvette’s safety. The incident of her being kidnapped had driven him almost insane, and he was determined not to let it happen again.“Do you suspect that Kairos will order his men to kidnap or even harm Yvette?” Christian asked.“Most likely, based on the information I have. He has a history of doing that to his enemies,” replied Darrell.Those who overheard the conversation felt a growing sense of anxiety and panic, even though they didn’t fully understand what was happening. Their intuition told them that something bad was about to occur.“What should we do? Shouldn’t you hide Ms. Yvette, sir? It’s better to prevent it rather than regret it later,” suggested Laura.Christian nodded in agreement with Laura’s advice.“Exactly! I need to rescue Yvette first, and then I’ll find a way to defeat Kairos and his forces,” said Christian.Laura and Darrell nodded in agreement.“If I may offer one more piece of advice?” Darrell asked.“Please do,” replied C
Christian then approached Yvette and massaged her shoulders to win her heart.“Do you have any tasks to complete today?” Christian asked.“I still have a lot of tasks, but I’ve just finished the ones due today. Don’t worry, tonight when we have dinner together, I won’t be thinking about work!” Yvette reassured.“Great! Let’s go to Puncak, shall we? We’ll come back tomorrow morning, so it won’t disturb our work. Okay!” Christian said, leaning in to gaze at Yvette’s face from the side.Yvette’s mind focused on something, Christian’s intention to solidify their relationship as husband and wife by being intimate.Yvette swiveled her chair until she and Christian were facing each other. Then, with a sharp gaze, as if to say, “Why are you so insistent on having me stay overnight in Puncak? Are you planning something inappropriate with me? You pervert!”“Hahaha... you’re thinking too much! Besides, if I do something ‘inappropriate’ with you, so what? We’re husband and wife, isn’t it natural
Kairos’s subordinates had a keen instinct. The man was mistaken to think that Christian was currently at the Diamond Hotel.If Kairos changed his plan to attack now, surely Darrell and his forces would be exhausted just to fight against Kairos alone.However, Kairos was considerate. While he could easily crush Darrell whenever he wanted, he couldn’t act too conspicuously. This was about the reputation of the Ashford Family.Yes, even though he was angry at his family for not considering him and choosing his younger sibling as the family head, he still cared about the family’s reputation. He believed that someday he would be able to lead the Ashford Family.“I think if we move now, there’s too much risk involved. Even though I act on my own, the significance of my family’s great name on my back means I can’t move recklessly. You and the others get ready now; I will instruct you to move when the time is right,” Kairos declared with a firm tone.Certainly, the stout man wouldn’t ask twic
Christian didn’t want anything undesirable to happen to Yang Lee if his teacher joined him in the fight against Kairos. There was a possibility that Kairos might listen to what Yang Lee had to say, but there was also the chance that Kairos would turn against Yang Lee and no longer consider him a teacher.“Christian! If I don’t intervene, Kairos will go out of control. I’m afraid he might do something beyond reason. At least, if I’m there, I can keep him in check so he doesn’t lose control,” Yang Lee expressed his concerns. “With self-control alone, he can be formidable, let alone if he loses control, he’ll cause severe damage.”“But, Teacher, I can handle him. I can even defeat him. I promise you, Teacher, that I will subdue Kairos. So, for now, I ask that you stay here. I beg you,” Christian pleaded with a hopeful expression.Christian swallowed nervously and continued, “I also ask for your help in protecting my wife. She means so much to me, and I don’t want anything to happen to he
Kairos had already moved with his troops. Undoubtedly, he moved with well-thought-out tactics and strategies. However, unlike Christian and Darrell, the two of them had not given any instructions about the strategy to be adopted in the upcoming battle.If Christian’s lack of direction was understandable, as he lacked extensive experience in battles between two major factions like this, what about Darrell? Why hadn’t he given any instructions about the strategy for his troops yet? Was he uncomfortable because Christian was there, limiting his freedom in organizing the forces?Who knows? Only Darrell himself knows.But, in the end, Christian was the one who realized this. Something needed to be done.“Darrell, do you think our troops are ready?” Christian asked.With a face full of doubt, Darrell replied, “To be honest, when it comes to being ready or not, our troops have to be ready. We have no other choice but to fight them. If we run away, we will be destroyed. At least if we resist,
Darrell’s phone rang, indicating an incoming call.“What’s up, Diego?” Darrell asked.“I want to inform you that two large trucks filled with people just passed through my surveillance area. I suspect it’s an enemy force,” Diego explained.Darrell’s face grew anxious upon hearing this. “So they’ve arrived. Alright then.”Christian waved his hand at Darrell, asking for his phone, as he wanted to speak directly with Diego.Darrell immediately handed his phone to his employer.After taking Darrell’s phone, Christian quickly said to Diego, “Has the enemy force entered?”Diego recognized the voice instantly. He promptly replied, “Two trucks entered, each filled with people. I estimate about 100 individuals in total.”“So, I assume there will be four more individuals arriving. For the last group, if they are far behind, execute them immediately. You can shoot the truck tires to stop them, and then deal with everyone inside. But if anyone surrenders and doesn’t resist, I forbid you from kill
Five squads armed with firearms opened fire from the front. Their target, of course, was Kairos.However, somehow, all the bullets whizzed past him, only hitting the subordinates with cards behind him. What was impressive was Kairos’s ability to dodge the shots with just slight body movements, yet incredibly fast.Darrell and the others finally grasped Kairos’s prowess. Until now, they had only heard rumors that Kairos was a skilled fighter with martial arts equivalent to a Master. And now they all witnessed firsthand Kairos’s prowess in avoiding bullets heading his way.After hearing the gunfire, it served as a signal issued by Mr. Demetri for other troops scattered on the right, left, and rear.Diego, John, and Kenji all moved simultaneously, commanding their troops armed with firearms to attack the enemy.“Attack!”“Fire!”The shouts of the three almost coincided. Although the distance between them was quite far and there was no prior training, they could efficiently command their
Kairos’s emotions are now triggered. Previously, he positioned himself to defend and read the opponent’s strength first, but now he changes his strategy to attack.With a fiery heart, Kairos now runs and unleashes a kick aimed at Christian’s head.The attack launched by Kairos is not fast enough, allowing Christian to evade it quite effectively.However, it should be noted that Kairos has only unleashed 25% of his strength. This is far from his true potential.“Is that all you’ve got? I’m starting to doubt what Master Yang Lee said about you being his best-trained disciple,” Christian says, gradually returning to his true self, capable of manipulating his opponent’s emotions to the point where they struggle to think and use their intuition effectively due to explosive emotions.Kairos furrows his brow upon hearing that Christian knows Master Yang Lee and is aware of Kairos’s training with the martial arts master.“What are you talking about? Do you know Master Yang Lee?” Kairos asks w
