The tall man entered the room. He was Percival’s head of security, who had just returned from the restroom.
“How was it? Easy to touch me? I think it’s much easier to touch your beautiful wife,” Percival said as he stroked Yve’s hand.
“You bastard! I’ll break your legs and toss you onto the street to be eaten by stray dogs. You despicable human!” Christian shouted, rebelling.
Hearing this, Percival grew furious. His face turned red.
“You want to break my legs? I’ll break your legs first!”
Percival was now only 25 centimeters away from Christian. He grabbed Christian’s hair.
“You talk too much, but the result is zero. Just like your pathetic life. Living as a useless son-in-law who can only do housework like a servant, you’re not worthy to talk to me,” Percival said.
Thwack!
A slap landed on Christian’s left cheek.
“Hahaha... trash! Try to hit me back. Slap my cheek!” Percival taunted with a smile on his face.
Leopold couldn’t let this happen. He went against Christian’s orders, which had instructed him to wait outside.
“Stop everything!” Leopold exclaimed.
Percival and Declan were surprised to see Leopold arrive.
“Mr. Percival, Mr. Declan, your membership in this club is revoked. Please leave now, or I will call the police!” Leopold said firmly and authoritatively.
Declan and Percival were shocked and panicked. Losing their membership at the Bluemoon club was equivalent to severing ties with major businessmen.
“What do you mean? What did we do wrong?” Declan asked.
“You engaged in violence and created a disturbance here,” Leopold explained.
“But he was the one who hit Declan first and assaulted all my men. I just wanted to give him a fair response. Is that wrong?”
“I know what really happened. You provoked it first. Now, leave this place, or you will become enemies of the entire Bluemoon club!” Leopold declared.
They had both sacrificed a lot to become members of this club. But because of Christian, they were on the brink of losing it all.
Declan was already contemplating leaving the room. Becoming enemies with the entire Bluemoon club was a disaster. If that happened, his family’s company would be ruined, and his family would punish him.
However, Percival had different plans.
“Lock the door, and let’s teach this GM a lesson!” Percival exclaimed.
Percival’s men immediately divided their tasks. Two of them closed the door and guarded it with their bodies, while one of them used an anaconda technique to restrain Leopold. Another member grabbed the HT from Leopold’s waist and destroyed it.
“Leopold! Leopold! Who do you think you are, daring to threaten me? You’re just an old bachelor from a mysterious family background. Clearly, our social status is different. But you dare to behave disrespectfully towards me!” Percival said with a very serious expression.
“Mr. Percival, I’m not joking about what I said. If the entire Bluemoon club turns against you, your company is finished!”
“Oh, really? I know this club is a place to build relationships. The strength and dignity of a family can be seen through its club members. But... my company is a large corporation. Its total assets reach 1 trillion. It’s impossible for all of them to turn against me.”
Percival then approached Christian again. He gripped Christian’s jaw forcefully.
“Can I enjoy your wife? If yes, I’ll sign a partnership agreement between my company and hers. But if not, I’ll... still enjoy your wife. The only difference is, I won’t cooperate with her company,” Percival said, mocking.
Christian spat on Percival’s annoying face. There was no way he would let another man touch his wife. Even if it meant death, he would protect Yve.
“You scoundrel!”
Percival began to blindly attack Christian, targeting his face, nose, and stomach.
At this moment, Percival’s three bodyguards were thrown aside as the room’s door swung open.
Percival, who had been beating Christian, stopped his blows and turned to look at the door.
“General Octavian!” Percival was stunned by the presence of the one-star general who controlled the eastern region of New York.
Declan turned pale, and his body trembled. He knew that something terrible was about to happen.
Octavian walked slowly. However, with each step he took, it sounded like dozens of soldiers marching in unison.
The situation in the karaoke room became tense.
“General Octavian, it’s a pleasure to meet you. How can I assist you?” Percival initiated the conversation, adopting a sweet demeanor in hopes of avoiding trouble.
Whack!
A slap landed on Percival’s left cheek, causing the older man’s vision to blur instantly.
Whack!
Another slap hit, this time on his right cheek.
After the second powerful slap, Percival felt the world spinning in his head rapidly.
Declan trembled violently after witnessing this.
“How dare you hit Christian like that! You’ve had enough of life!” Octavian yelled. His voice roared like a lion’s.
The person who had been restraining Christian and Leopold immediately released his hold and stepped back.
“I-I apologize, General! It was just a misunderstanding,” Percival apologized.
“You know who I am. You should know how I act. Christian is my friend. If you dare to touch him, it’s the same as touching me!”
“I deeply regret it. Please forgive me!”
Christian took a step forward. Then he said, “You said I couldn’t touch you? I’ll show you how I can touch you.”
And with that, a powerful punch landed on Percival’s face, causing the old man to fall to the ground.
Declan grew even more fearful. He knew that Christian would come after him next. So, stealthily, Declan approached the exit door to escape.
“Using money to oppress the weak. You’re nothing more than a rabid dog!” Christian uttered.
Percival felt humiliated. But at this moment, he couldn’t fight back against Christian with Octavian protecting him.
Then Christian inquired about Declan’s whereabouts. He wanted the man to be held accountable for what he had done.
“Where’s Declan?” Christian asked.
Leopold and Octavian scanned the room, but they couldn’t find him.
“It seems like he has already escaped,” Leopold said.
“I’ll find him and kill him!” Octavian declared.
Christian shook his head and said, “No need. I want to toy with him and crush him slowly. It’s better to deal with this man first. Teach him a lesson so he won’t oppress the weak anymore.”
“Understood!” Octavian replied.
The one-star general then grabbed Percival’s hand and said, “It’s this hand that dared to strike Christian. I’ll make sure you remember it!”
“What are you going to do? You’re just the ruler of East New York I know generals at the center. You can’t hurt me!”
Percival tried to intimidate Octavian, but Octavian wasn’t fazed. His relationship with Carlos Demetri was like that of a father and son. Consequently, Christian was considered his brother.
“Do you really think I care? Not even the Commander can stop me!” Octavian exclaimed.
Once his mouth closed, Octavian crushed Percival’s right hand.
“Aarrgghh!”
Percival’s screams of pain were piercing.
“I will retaliate!” Percival said, holding his mangled right hand.
Octavian’s actions could potentially get him into trouble. Harming civilians could lead to disciplinary action for a soldier. Whether it’s a transfer, a delay in promotion, or even dismissal.“Feel free to report me if you want. I don’t care. I’ve memorized the faces of everyone here. It’s very easy for me to eliminate all of you and your family members!” Percival fell silent. He didn’t speak much anymore. His decision to report what Octavian had done would have to wait.Christian immediately approached Yve and checked her body temperature.“Is she okay?” Octavian asked.“She’s just drunk. She had too much to drink. I’ll take her home and take care of her. Thank you for helping me, General! Sorry for the trouble,” Christian said.“No need to be sorry. When I got the call from Darrell, I was nearby. So, it’s no trouble at all,” Octavian replied.Darrell again. This made Christian even more convinced that he had significant power now.Imagine, a brigadier general who controlled the eas
However, Christian later became doubtful. His consistently unfortunate life had accustomed him to not dreaming big, at least until he was absolutely sure that he was the heir to the Demetri Family’s wealth.What if they didn’t believe that the sender of the email was Christian Demetri? Or what if he wasn’t the rightful heir?But all those worries vanished when the reply email from CrispCrafter Industries arrived on his phone.“Good evening, Mr. Christian Demetri. We will promptly process your request. A board meeting will be held tomorrow to determine the requirements needed by the local companies in New York to collaborate with us. The results will be sent to you via email. Thank you.”After reading the letter, Christian felt extremely delighted. He stood on the garden chair and leaped to let out his joy.“I will make you happy, Yve!” Christian exclaimed.The Next Day,Yve hurriedly went to the office. Without hearing the events of the previous night, she realized that the deal with
“Do you know how much that necklace costs? How are you going to replace it?”Yve appeared panicked and stressed. For years, she had been giving Christian a monthly allowance of 3 million. If Christian hadn’t used any of it for three years, he would only have around 108 million left. That meant he would have to save for another 4 years to be able to replace the necklace.It wasn’t possible for Yve to replace it herself. She didn’t have that much money. She only had 20 million in her savings.But seeing the panic in his wife’s eyes, Christian smiled. He was glad to see that she still cared about him.If Christian had done this a few days ago, he wouldn’t be this calm. He might have been even more panicked than Yve.“Darling, I brought you lunch. Where would you like to eat? In the room or in the garden?” Christian handed a red lunchbox to his wife.“Wish-wish-wish... you’ve ruined someone else’s property, and you can still act so relaxed like this? Yve is panicking, but you’re acting li
There’s nothing wrong with what Elara said when she saw the clothes Christian was wearing. A set of clothes that, if sold, wouldn’t fetch more than 50 thousand.“Oh, 20 billion, is it? Quite substantial, isn’t it?” Christian asked, his left hand on his stomach and his right hand stroking his chin.Elara clearly didn’t like Christian’s attitude, which she thought was akin to that of a billionaire with assets in the hundreds of billions.Indeed, Elara’s estimate was far from accurate. Because Christian’s assets reached trillions.“Not just substantial, but exceedingly so. Moreover, we also carefully screen the data of those who want to open accounts with this bank. So, it’s not easy to become a customer of GMI bank,” Elara said.Christian then nodded, mumbling, “Well, in that case, the money I have here is truly fantastic. Helping Yve won’t be difficult for me.”His voice wasn’t loud, but Elara could hear him clearly. So, she furrowed her brow and assessed the ragged man in front of her
Not only Elara was surprised, but the entire room, especially the two security guards, were as well. If this happened, those two men were the luckiest ones.Elara was the most beautiful woman at GMI Bank. Her body enticed every man who laid eyes on her. Even seeing her in office attire was enough to make their mouths water, let alone without clothes.“You were the one who told me to take off my clothes earlier. Now, I’ll turn the tables on you. Come on, strip. Or do you think you’re not even the slightest bit guilty?” Christian said, nonchalantly, as if instructing someone to eat.Elara deeply regretted what she had said to Christian earlier. She didn’t expect that Christian would seek revenge on her like this.For a woman, a punishment like this was the most severe. Being completely exposed in front of a man who wasn’t her husband was a severe blow to her self-esteem and psyche.But the other option, leaving her 3-year-old child behind, was clearly not an option for Elara.“Mr. Chris
“I’ll pay De Delta Company’s debt on behalf of Yvette!” Christian confidently declared.Everyone in the room fell momentarily silent, taken aback by Christian’s words. However, Orion burst into laughter, followed by Alaric. Even Marigold, who rarely laughed, joined in this time.“Oh, Christian, you’re incredibly funny, thank you for entertaining me when I’m feeling dizzy,” Orion said.Then the man turned towards Yve and said, “Your husband is perfect for a comedian. Just sign him up at a comedy club. It seems more positive than him having to do the dishes and cleaning at home.”Yve felt increasingly pressured by Christian’s presence. Right now, she was trying to save her marriage from the voices urging her to divorce. But here was Christian, showing off.“Look, Yve! Is that the man you chose as your husband? Someone who loves to brag and daydream. All his life, he’s relied on his wife, and now he dares to say he can pay off the company’s debt!” Marigold exclaimed in frustration.This
Yve’s common sense strongly rejected the name Christian. And then her thoughts led to Declan. Only that man, she believed, could afford to buy this exquisite gift. Moreover, the diamond necklace tragedy a few days ago involved only the three of them.“Declan, this is too expensive!” Yve muttered while gazing at the incredibly beautiful necklace.Then she said to Dorota, “Well, you can go back to your room.”The first thing Dorota did was search for Christian’s contact number. The issue about the necklace needed to be clarified to prevent any misunderstandings.After searching everywhere, she decided to ask a security guard who had been seen close to Christian for his contact number.“Mrs. Dorota, what’s going on, looking for Mr. Christian’s number? Or is it something else...?”“Don’t assume things!” Dorota snapped. “Hurry, where’s his number? Yve asked me to get it!”Upon hearing the name being mentioned, the security guard promptly provided Christian’s number.Dorota then immediately
Camila was momentarily stunned by the aura emanating from Christian’s body. However, anger had surged within her. “That’s right, isn’t it? You scoundrel!”“I will prove it. Soon, I will make you all kneel before me. Come on, Mother, let’s get out of here. There’s no point in staying!” Christian said, immediately taking over Mrs. Anika’s wheelchair and pushing her away.With anger already consuming him, Christian chose to leave.“Good, you leave! I’m sick of seeing you here!” Camila said, smiling maliciously.Declan, who had remained silent to maintain his image in front of Yve and Camila, smiled widely. He felt like he had won without uttering a word.Yve was the one most tormented by this situation. She could only be a helpless spectator.She knew very well that what her mother was doing was wrong. But no matter what, her mother was still her mother. She couldn’t oppose her.Anika held Christian’s hand and caressed it as she said, “My child, you should apologize to your mother-in-law
