The sound of gunfire, when victory seemed assured, startled everyone. Even Christian, who felt the blood on his body and face, was shocked by what had happened.

He didn’t feel any pain or anything else except for the liquid that touched his skin and face, which turned out to be blood.

As he turned towards Anika, he immediately panicked because his foster mother was already coughing up blood. And when he looked down, blood was flowing heavily from her back.

“Mother!” Christian immediately hugged his foster mother’s body.

Anika couldn’t say anything. Her face was pale, her eyes wide open, and her mouth gaping because of the intense pain she was enduring.

“Mother! Wake up, Mother. We’re going to the hospital, okay? Hold on!”

Darrell rushed to Anika and checked her condition, Christian’s foster mother.

As he checked her pulse on her wrist and neck, he couldn’t detect any heartbeat. Darrell closed his eyes, regretting this.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Demetri, Mrs. Anika is no longer with us,” Darrell

    Zofia hysterically mourned the departure of her biological mother.Just imagine how shattered Zofia felt. She had only been with her birth mother for a few months, and now they had to be separated again, this time for eternity.Christian couldn’t bring himself to step closer, although he knew he should be the one to embrace Zofia to comfort her. But every time he tried to move forward, his heart trembled so violently that it made him cry uncontrollably.Blake, witnessing what was happening to Zofia, felt sympathy. He then approached Zofia and knelt beside her.Regardless of not knowing Zofia and whether she would accept him or not, Blake immediately pulled her into a hug.“Calm yourself down. Don’t cry excessively because it will burden your mother. She will be sad to see you crying, and when she wants to hug you to comfort you, she won’t be able to,” Blake said softly.Zofia continued to cry in Blake’s embrace. But now she started to hug Blake back tightly.What Blake did meant so mu

    After Anika’s funeral, Christian became much quieter and more serious. The death of his foster mother had shaken him deeply.Yve always had to initiate conversations with him because if she didn’t, Christian wouldn’t speak first. Perhaps only a few very important things could make him speak.Zofia was almost the same as Christian, but she was in a better state. In fact, Zofia was already able to work and handle Pommes Frites because Christian still needed time to refocus on his business.From morning till evening, Christian was always alone. Only occasionally would Darrell or Diego visit Christian’s room to talk to him.But now, after 10 days since Anika’s death, Christian headed to the hotel lobby alone.When Darrell saw Christian coming out of the elevator, he immediately stood up and hurried over to him, casually smoking and sipping coffee.“Mr. Demetri! If you need anything, just let me know, I’ll go to your room, Mr. Demetri,” Darrell said with a polite and respectful demeanor.“

    Elvan didn’t expect to confront Christian directly in the revenge mission. However, due to pressure from family members, he eventually chose to focus on seeking revenge rather than company development.“I haven’t made any plans to retaliate against Christian Demetri. That’s because I’ve already prepared plans for the development of family businesses. But if we must seek revenge soon, I’ll prioritize it first,” Elvan said seriously.Jaslene said, “Of course, we should prioritize our revenge mission. Because I’m worried that Demetri will attack our family first. Also, we must remember that if his mother died at the hands of Dejerius’s brother, he undoubtedly holds a deep grudge and will seek revenge.”Elvan nodded. Then he said, “Do you have any ideas? If you do, please share. And this applies to everyone; if you have an opinion, don’t hesitate to speak up.”After hearing that, everyone started discussing to find the right way to seek revenge.Jaslene consulted other family members seve

    Christian stopped in his tracks, causing Yve to stop as well.Yve turned to Christian and asked, “What’s wrong, Christian?”“There’s that guy. He’s the one who helped me during the rescue of the orphanage when my mother was there. He even arrived first and beat up the guards at Dejerius’s headquarters on the front line. But I don’t know his name, and I want to meet him first to ask about who he is,” said Christian.Yve nodded, allowing Christian to meet the man.Altus actually came there on purpose to meet Christian. He wanted to try to talk a lot with Christian and find an opportunity to carry out the mission given by Reginald.Furthermore, Reginald and Ambrose only wanted him to warn Christian not to act recklessly that could endanger the family’s finances and also to ask Christian to return the leadership role of the Demetri family.Therefore, there were no limitations for him to get to know Christian.Since two weeks ago, he had been in USA and had been spying on Christian, and he

    There was no resistance from Yve as Christian carried her to the bathroom. In fact, they both indulged in each other on the way to the bathroom.Both entered a space of longing that was now beginning to glow again to heal all the longing within.“Christian! I want it,” Yve said with a trembling voice and gasping breath.This was because of Christian’s fingers playing on the pleasure cave of Yve’s lips, making her unable to resist exploring deeper pleasures.“What do you want?” Christian asked with a smile.“I want more pleasure,” Yve replied.After answering Christian’s question, Yve immediately guided Christian’s fingers into her pleasure cave.“No! I don’t want that. But I want this!” Yve said, grabbing her husband’s already hard magic wand.But Christian didn’t listen. As Yve became more and more unable to resist, she pushed Christian’s body until he fell into the bath-tub.Yve pushed Christian down again until he lay down. Then she climbed on top of Christian and directed Christia

    Jaslene was taken aback, she didn’t say anything for quite some time.Christian then smiled and said, “I understand your concerns. But this is the path I have to take to end it all. I simply can’t let your brother get away with murdering my mother.”Jaslene nodded blankly. But in reality, she was imagining what if Christian could really destroy his own family. And she was also thinking about how to anticipate it if she already had an idea beforehand. But now she was doubtful.“I understand the anger within you because my whole family feels a burning vendetta against you. And I’m caught in the middle. Obviously, I won’t accept being killed, but again I see that he deserves to be killed because he’s the one who killed your mother first,” Jaslene said, looking deeply into Christian’s eyes.Jaslene took a long breath before continuing her words.“And that’s why I dare to oppose my family. I know I will get into big trouble by being kicked out of the family, but I don’t want this issue to

    Christian listened to the advice given by Diego. Although he didn’t fully believe in what Diego saw, he still respected his subordinate and regarded it as a warning.“I’ll be more cautious with her and observe her movements closely. Instruct the members on duty to keep an eye on the Murphy family. I don’t want to be caught off guard by their actions,” Christian said.Diego nodded, saying, “I’ll execute it, Mr. Demetri!”Then Christian returned to his room to rest.Upon arriving in the room, he found Yve already awake and just coming out of the bathroom.“Where have you been? Instead of sleeping, you’re out and about!” Yve scolded with squinted eyes, holding back her drowsiness.“I was at the restaurant. A guest came to see me, so I met with them first,” Christian replied.Yve immediately covered her nose, saying, “Your breath smells of wine! Brush your teeth before sleeping!”Christian nodded and headed to the bathroom.***The Next DayChristian instructed Yve not to drive to work be

    Octavian’s plan surprised Christian. Even though he knew that the War God would do it, his heart still pounded heavily.“Do you want to do it today?” Christian asked.“Actually, I planned it three days after Mrs. Anika’s death. But when I heard that the situation was smooth, I postponed it. Only when I heard that you were starting to recover, I planned to punish those two,” explained the War God.“So, that’s it. I apologize for inconveniencing you,” Christian said, smiling.Octavian shook his head and said, “It’s not inconvenient at all. So, can I do it now?”“Of course. You are the War God, why would you ask my permission? I think whatever you plan should be carried out,” said Christian.“The response is simple, but it’s not that simple. Maybe if this case involved someone else and not you, I would have acted long ago. But I respect you because you are the son of Carlos Demetri. Perhaps you also remember my story of how I became so close to Carlos,” said Octavian, casually.Christian

    Altus was aware that Christian was currently dealing with a significant problem. So, he offered to help Christian calm down.“Do you know of a place that is green and peaceful?” asked Christian.“Of course. I’ll take you to a tranquil place,” replied Altus.“Alright, take me there,” said Christian.After saying that, Altus immediately drove his car towards a hill not far from where they were.During the journey, Christian remained silent. He didn’t say a word.Christian’s mind was still in turmoil. The issue he was facing seemed even heavier to him than Demetri’s family issues.After about an hour’s drive, they finally arrived at a charming house on a hill.The surroundings of the house were exceptionally beautiful. There were no other buildings in sight, only nature as far as the eye could see.“We’ve arrived, sir!” said Altus.Christian looked around and was quite amazed. This place was even more beautiful than the villa at the peak.“Whose house is this, Altus?” asked Christian, pu

    Christian fell silent upon hearing Elvira’s words from across the room. He was annoyed that Tavares was still threatening him through Elvira.“What an insolent man! How dare he threaten me through Elvira. When I meet him, I’ll finish him off,” Christian muttered angrily to himself.“I’ll kill him,” Christian growled.“Stop!” shouted one of Tavares’s guards, blocking Christian’s path.But Christian remained unmoved. After ending the call from Elvira, who had complained about Tavares’s threats, he decided to enter the house anyway.“I’ll report this assault to the police!” yelled the same man who had stopped Christian earlier.Upon hearing the threat from the man in black before him, Christian burst out laughing. “Hahaha.”“Don’t dream in broad daylight!”Christian immediately struck the man, knocking him unconscious.“Tavares! Come out!” Christian shouted in frustration.There was no response from inside the house. The people in front of Christian remained silent, intimidated after the

    “One more time, I ask you to stop or I’ll beat you!”The man’s shout made Christian and Altus pause for a moment, but both of them chose to ignore the man yelling at them.“Should we deal with all of them first, Sir?” Altus asked as they walked.“No need, just ignore them.”“But they’re following us, Sir. It looks like they have weapons too.” Altus sharpened his hearing and noticed some of the people seemed to be carrying sticks or something similar because he could hear those objects hitting the ground or something nearby.On both sides of Altus, there were piles of wood, like the remnants of a demolished building or something similar. Clearly, this place looked more like a warehouse than a residential house.“Hey, stop right there!” the man shouted again.Christian ignored him and urged Altus to keep walking. “Keep walking and don’t listen to them. Even if they attack, we will definitely win.”“Alright, Sir. So we should keep walking, right?” Altus repeated his question. He was hone

    “Let go, Valerio, release him. Come on, let’s go from here,” Darrell urged Valerio to release Daeron’s arm and walk away with him.“Let him be with his decision, we don’t need to force Daeron to come home,” Darrell repeated, insisting on leaving Daeron be.“Alright,” Valerio replied, following Darrell’s command. He released Daeron’s arm and walked alongside Darrell, who had already started walking away from the people there.Valerio didn’t know Darrell’s intention in letting Daeron go, but he obediently followed Darrell’s orders. Valerio was sure Darrell knew what he was doing.“Leaving Daeron like this, maybe Darrell has another plan,” Valerio thought to himself, seemingly understanding Darrell’s intentions even without being told.“No! This can’t happen, I don’t want to become poor and live in misery. No! No!” Daeron’s thoughts were in turmoil as Darrell and Valerio released him and simply left him there with his three friends.Darrell and Valerio walked away from Daeron, seemingly

    “Nothing yet, Mr. Demetri. So far, that’s all I found from the search. But I promise I’ll look for more information later,” Altus said, bowing slightly. He admitted he hadn’t found much more about Daeron.“Alright then, keep searching for more information about Daeron. I’ll wait for good news, don’t disappoint me.”“Got it, Sir. I’ll focus more on finding information about Daeron,” Altus promised to Christian.After that, they both fell silent for a long time. No one initiated a conversation. Christian was preoccupied with thoughts about Daeron, Tavares, Yve, and many more. Meanwhile, Altus was busy trying to guess what Christian was thinking. He didn’t feel comfortable starting another conversation, so the only option he chose was to wait for Christian to say something to him.Altus glanced at Christian, but after waiting for a while, he still didn’t say anything.“Is there anything else you’d like to say, Mr. Demetri?” Altus asked after a few moments of silence from his superior.“H

    Christian stopped talking after he remembered why he was looking for Tavares. He couldn’t tell Altus the real reason.Christian’s silence made Altus feel uneasy and a little suspicious. If it wasn’t something very important, Christian wouldn’t be looking for someone like this.“Why stop, sir? Can’t I know who that person is?” asked Altus in a soft voice, but his eyes were sharp.“Do you remember some people I met at a hotel where Elvira was?” Christian asked.Altus nodded. He remembered that incident.“Well, Tavares was one of them. In short, he dared to play games with me by trying to ruin my marriage,” Christian explained. “So, because he wants to play with me, I will give him a game he will remember for the rest of his life.”Altus fell silent for a moment. He had never seen Christian so angry before.“Well then, I will ask the troops to find Tavares’s whereabouts so we can quickly meet him. He really needs to be told that he’s messing with the wrong person,” growled Altus.Christi

    Claudia was terrified when she heard Christian’s shout. Her courage shrank after seeing her cousin angry. She knew very well who Christian was. No one would dare face him in such a state because it was certain that person would end up beaten black and blue. Claudia also clearly remembered Christian’s position. This would definitely make things difficult for her if she ended up offending her cousin.“I’m sorry, Christian! I didn’t mean it like that! I was just worried!” Claudia said softly. She bowed her head because she didn’t dare to look at her cousin’s angry face.Christian took several deep breaths. He tried to control his emotions, which had flared up moments ago.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to yell at you!” Christian said after he had calmed down.“Never say something like that again. What if someone heard and misunderstood?” Christian continued.“Sorry!” Claudia squeaked. She felt guilty for accusing her cousin of such things. She should have handled it more maturely.“It’s late, go

    “You love Me?” Valerio asked to confirm Elvira’s feelings for him.“Do you still need an answer?” Elvira asked back.“Of course, I want to make sure that your heart and body are only for me.” Valerio saw the glint in Elvira’s eyes which were becoming increasingly passionate. What’s more, his hands were twisting the edge of her chest.Elvira nodded her head. “Really. I really love you.” She doesn’t deny that she really loves Valerio. Even though Mr. Demetri still makes her fly, her heart is still with Valerio.“So, are we going to spend the night until you can’t walk?” Valerio said while squeezing Elvira’s mound.It felt like he hadn’t spent time with Elvira in a long time. And maybe now is the right time, after they were involved in the misunderstanding earlier.Seeing Elvira’s body again made him crazy. Must make the woman unable to wake up tomorrow morning.

    Christian stuttered. He was confused about what to say. But his mind quickly raced; he had to make sure Valerio didn’t suspect anything.But his mind went blank; he couldn’t think of a reason to prevent Valerio from misunderstanding.“Thank you again for your help, Mr. Demetri!” Elvira exclaimed. Christian glanced briefly, then shifted slightly to give Elvira space. Thank you for what?“Sweetheart, why are you here? For long?” Elvira asked, feigning surprise towards Valerio.Luckily, she had an idea and took control. She knew Christian must be struggling to find a plausible excuse.“It’s actually me who’s asking. What were you two doing? Why was Mr. Demetri in your room?” Valerio asked suspiciously. His eyes narrowed, seeing his girlfriend with Mr. Demetri in the room last night.“Oh... there was a small mouse inside. I was terribly afraid. As I ran out to ask for help to chase it away, Mr. Demetri happened to pass by. So, I asked for his help!” Elvira replied.It was a plausible excu
