The luxurious house appeared quite intimidating as Orion passed through the gates. It was different from his first impression, where he had praised the opulence of the house.“Grandma, are you sure it’s okay to enter? Mr. Stellan is a mafia. It’s undoubtedly very dangerous if we go in alone,” Orion said.“Don’t worry. Stellan is an old friend of mine, and he used to work with the De Delta company,” explained Marigold.Orion nodded. If his grandmother said it was safe, then the place would be safe.Upon seeing Stellan sitting, Marigold hurried over and greeted the man who was roughly Orion’s father’s age, around 50.“Good afternoon, Mr. Stellan! It’s nice to meet you again!” Marigold said.Stellan stood up and approached Marigold with an outstretched hand, inviting the elderly woman to shake hands.“It’s great to see you too! It’s been a long time since we met, Mrs. Marigold,” Stellan said, smiling broadly.“Yes, Mr. Stellan. Since my husband passed away, we haven’t met again. This is
Stellan patiently awaited Marigold’s response. He didn’t want to pressure Marigold because he was aware of the woman’s condition. But he couldn’t let the cost of hiring Alberto go for free, even though he had already intended to ask his friend to deal with Christian.Marigold said, “Alright, I’ll pay. Two billion upfront and the rest upon the successful completion of the task. How about that?”Stellan reached out his hand to shake Marigold’s.“Okay, I agree!” Stellan said.Marigold smiled and reached for Stellan’s hand, and they shook on it.Orion, on the other hand, disagreed with what Marigold had decided. He believed that it wasn’t necessary to spend that much money to get rid of someone like Christian and Yve.However, he couldn’t protest Marigold’s decision, especially not in front of Stellan.Only when they left Stellan’s house did Orion dare to ask his grandmother.“Grandma, why did you agree to pay so much money to Mr. Stellan? I think it’s too expensive just to get rid of peo
Christian gazed deeply at Dorota, then released his arms with a slight thud on the table, making a rather loud noise.Dorota immediately fell silent and lowered her head.“What’s wrong if I cross it off?” Christian asked.Dorota replied, “Felipe is someone who frequently stirs up trouble. Anything he doesn’t like, he’ll oppose. It’s a given that he’ll get angry and offended when Nebula Nova’s company is cross it off at an early stage. I’m afraid he’ll cause chaos here.”“Does that kid want to cause trouble here? Don’t expect him to be able to!” Christian exclaimed.“But, Sir, his parents are the East US mayor. Surely, he has influence from all aspects of life,” Dorota said.Christian shook his head and said, “I don’t want to work with someone like him. Are you trying to force me? Or perhaps, did you ask him to participate in the tender?”That question immediately made Dorota stop questioning Christian’s decision. Working with someone disliked by Christian was equivalent to inviting ma
They turned their vehicles into an alley where the car that had been tailing Christian earlier had gotten stuck.Christian was at the front as their guide.And they finally arrived at the spot where a red SUV was trapped.“Hey, what’s going on? Who are you looking for to end up stuck in an alley like this?” Christian asked as he got off his bike.Joyx and the others stepped out of their car and stood behind Christian.Alberto and his two henchmen who were examining the car immediately turned their bodies around after hearing the annoying voice of a man.When Alberto turned around, Joyx was shocked to see the man.“Alberto?” Joyx asked, making sure.“It turns out someone knows me here. I must be very famous,” Alberto said, his hands in his pants pockets.Christian immediately turned to Joyx, “You know him?”“Yes. He’s a martial arts fighter who last reached level A star 9. After that, he traveled abroad to improve his self-defense skills. But besides being a fighter, he’s also a hitman
Christian struggled to get up, but he still had to control his vision and think while half-crouching with his left leg resting on the asphalt.“You’re just a gutsy kid. But you’re too naive to think you can defeat me. My strength compared to yours is like the difference between the earth and the sky. I’m a fighter one step away from reaching S-level. And you? Your only work is in the kitchen,” Alberto said, chuckling.Christian could now see clearly. He then stood up and stared at Alberto with a sharp gaze.“Are you done with your storytelling? If so, let’s continue our fight!” Christian said.Alberto was surprised by Christian’s confident words.But in the end, he shook his head, considering Christian’s decision foolish.“Don’t blame me if you can’t see the sunrise tomorrow!” Alberto said.“There’s no room for regret in my life,” Christian replied, his voice low but thunderous.Christian then ran towards Alberto, aware of Alberto’s strength and speed. He tried to be quicker and make
After instructing his men to summon their forces, Darrell turned his attention to Christian.“Mr. Demetri, let me escort you to the hospital. The injuries on your body need immediate treatment,” Darrell said.Christian stood up and replied, “You intend to go to Stellan’s place to retaliate for what he did. Do you think he’s concerned about you? The one he’s trying to assassinate is me, so I must lead to finish him off.”Darrell shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Demetri. That’s not what I meant, but—”“I know. You don’t need to worry about me,” Christian interrupted Darrell.“Very well, sir,” Darrell replied.After witnessing Alberto being incapacitated by Christian, he realized that he possessed greater power than he had initially thought. The injuries he had sustained now weren’t a significant concern for him.“Get 10 bulldozers ready. I want to destroy his headquarters to the ground!” Christian exclaimed.Without hesitation, Darrell nodded. He then instructed his other men to
In a dire situation like this, Stellan still managed to be sharp-tongued towards Christian.Of course, the ego he possessed as a mafia figure was immense, especially since he had a substantial following.How could he possibly submit to a 26-year-old young man?However, Stellan should have been wiser in assessing the situation. Right now, Darrell was on Christian’s side. If he dared to oppose Christian, he would undoubtedly incur Darrell’s wrath.“My goal is to bring you down like a stray dog!” Christian declared.Stellan couldn’t hold back his laughter. He burst into hearty laughter.“You want to bring me down? With what? Darrell’s support?” Stellan inquired. “But I think he wouldn’t risk going against me.”“I have a significant role in US’s mafia network. I’m on the golden path. If Darrell chooses to attack me, I believe he’ll lose his support,” Christian continued.Stellan was indeed a member of the mafia network under Darrell’s leadership, and he had a substantial following. In add
Everyone was on guard for what Stellan might do. If that man fired his gun, then it was likely that one or possibly more of them would get hurt.Christian, who stood at the very front, was, of course, a prime target.“You’re dead, Christian!” Stellan shouted.Diego immediately took the initiative and ran forward to protect Christian.Click!Click!What happened?The firearm had no bullets.“How is it possible that my pistol has no bullets?” Stellan asked himself.Alex smiled. He knew what had happened.“Boss Stellan, this afternoon you were practicing shooting in the backyard. When you had used up all the rounds in your revolver, you stopped practicing and went inside the headquarters, unlike your usual routine of practicing repeatedly and immediately reloading your revolver,” Alex reminded Stellan of what had occurred.“Perhaps fate has allowed you to fall. My choice was indeed correct,” Alex stated.Christian smiled and raised his hand, saying, “Prepare the bulldozer! Level this hou
