Christian wanted this issue to end peacefully without any violence like they had always endured. He didn’t want anyone else to get hurt.But when Christian was about to contact Blake, he glanced at the clock and changed his mind. Despite being able to command people to jump into a volcano without being refused, Christian still had a sound mind.It was midnight, time for people to rest.So, he decided to postpone until morning. Only when dawn broke would he contact Blake. After all, there was no emergency at the moment because Leone and Acqwon had just started their discussion, and there was no decision at all from Acqwon on whether he would help or not.Suddenly, Yve woke up and called for Christian.“Christian! It’s late, come on, you need to sleep. You have work tomorrow, remember?”Christian turned and smiled, then approached his wife to sleep and embraced her.The Next MorningChristian contacted Blake via a voice call to invite him to dinner at the Diamond restaurant. He wanted t
When he received information that the person meeting him was an aide to the Minister of Defense, Christian adopted a cold demeanor. He wanted to leave an impression on Acqwon that he couldn’t be dictated to.And assuming Irvin’s visit was related to conveying a message about the USA Martial Arts Association, Christian’s demeanor became even colder.“What do you need?” Christian asked, refusing to shake Irvin’s hand.The aide to the Minister of Defense awkwardly withdrew his hand.“I want to deliver a message from the minister that you’re invited to dinner at his house,” Irvin said, firm yet polite.Christian frowned, listening. Then he asked, “What’s the purpose of his invitation?”Irvin was taken aback as he sensed a change in the atmosphere around the company lobby emanating from Christian. Being from a military background, he was accustomed to such situations and could immediately assess that Christian indeed possessed great strength, similar to the other Masters.“This invitation
After managing to control his cough from choking, Christian glanced at Anika and smiled. He thought his foster mother was just joking with him.“You’re just kidding, Mother!” Christian said, laughing.Then Christian turned his face forward while slowly sucking on his cigarette and exhaling it.“Mother’s not joking, Christian. What I see between you and Zofia is really perfect. I think you two would make an ideal couple. There are so many compatibilities between you that will help you get through happy days together,” Anika said more seriously now.Christian didn’t know how to react to his foster mother’s words.“Wouldn’t it be nice if every day was filled with happiness?” Anika asked, her eyes staring at the edge of Christian’s face as he looked ahead.Then Christian smiled and turned to Anika. Then he said, “Isn’t love about complementing each other, so that the shortcomings of each partner can be covered by the strengths of the other?“If I and Zofia, according to Mother, are very s
Hearing that Leone was willing to spend that much money made Acqwon very tempted.Sure, he was one of the wealthiest ministers in USA, but who doesn’t like money?Yet, Acqwon pretended not to be interested in the money. His dignity was at stake if he were to accept Leone’s offer right away.“The amount of money you’re offering is indeed substantial, but as a minister, I can’t accept it. Getting caught by the anti-corruption commission would be very embarrassing,” said Acqwon, choosing to play it safe.Leone immediately shook his head. He had anticipated the defense minister’s rejection out of fear of being caught by the anti-corruption commission.“Minister, you don’t need to worry. I’m here to provide you with my bank card and ATM card, not in the form of cash or bank transfer. So, I believe this will be very safe because what you’ll be using is my personal data,” Leone said, smiling as he handed over the bank card and ATM card.Acqwon’s eyes widened, a wide smile appearing on his fa
It was understandable that Blake couldn’t quickly decide on Christian’s question. He had to think about his family and the promise he made to Christian some time ago.“If it’s difficult, then don’t answer,” Christian said.He just wanted to know where Blake and his family stood. After that, he would decide what action to take to prevent the defense minister from assisting the USA Martial Arts Association.“To be honest, if your question was only for me personally, I’d readily answer that I would choose. But if I have to consider my entire family, I still can’t decide,” Blake said.Christian nodded. He understood Blake’s internal conflict. If he were in Blake’s position, he would also find it difficult to go against the four largest families in USA.“I understand. I’m just asking for your opinion. If it concerns your family, I’ll personally protect them,” Christian said firmly.Blake weakly nodded his head. He didn’t quite understand the discussion Christian had brought up. Why had Chr
“Hello, Christian Demetri, I am your biological father, Carlos Demetri. Please forgive your father for reaching out only now...”“I left you and your mother in the past because I was naive and foolish at the time. Now, I don’t have much time left. I never married another woman in my life, and I have no other heir besides you. So, I’ve decided to pass on all my assets to you, and you will also be entrusted as the CEO and Chairman of BIG Consortium Corp knows as the Demetri Consortium.”“My assets, totaling 3,500 trillion, will all be inherited by you!”“I have already arranged for someone to assist you with all your needs. If you ever need help or encounter any problems, you can contact Darrell. His phone number is attached here. Christian, see you in Canada.”Christian’s eyes froze as he watched the figure of a man standing tall after the video ended. He suddenly found it difficult to breathe, and his mouth had to gasp for more oxygen.He was in the kitchen, planning to cook some food
Christian couldn’t contain his jumbled thoughts, pondering this and that.“Open the door? Don’t daydream too much! Get out of here now!” Yvette snapped.As if doused by a bucket of cold water, Christian’s heated fantasies instantly extinguished. He sighed and said, “Alright, I’m leaving now. I’ve left your clothes by the door.”After leaving the room, Christian continued to think about the strange email he had received.After a moment’s consideration, he finally contacted the person his father had assigned to help him.“Hello, this is Darrell speaking,” a man said from the other end of the phone.Christian fell silent for a moment, surprised that the number indeed belonged to Darrell.“So, you’re really Darrell?”“Yes.”Christian took a deep breath. Then he said, “I’m Christian Demetri. There’s something I need to ask. May I?”“Finally, you’ve contacted me,” Darrell said with a sigh of relief in his breath.“Go ahead, Mr. Demetri. What would you like to ask?” he continued.“I just rec
“But sir. My wife is inside. She could become a victim of harassment or worse. Please let me in to save my wife,” Christian pleaded.He had often heard stories about Declan from Yve, that the man had a high level of passion. Almost all the women he brought ended up in bed. Some willingly, and some by various means. And Christian was worried that the latter might be the case with Declan.Yvette must not be touched.“I haven’t seen any guests being forced. All the guests, especially the women, seem to have happy faces. Besides, this isn’t a hotel, so it’s unlikely that such incidents would happen here. If they do, we’ll handle it. Just relax!” said the big, dark-skinned security officer.Christian shook his head. Then, he pushed the security officer’s body and said, “I need to get in!”The security officer’s sturdy body, a retired soldier who had to retire early, remained unmoved by Christian’s push.“What part of what I said wasn’t clear? Go away! You’re just disturbing the order of th
