Rafael grew increasingly confident that Christian had no evidence to support his claims.Then the mayor turned to his bodyguards and said, “You there! Break this man’s legs. After that, contact the police and report that he has falsely accused me and attacked me!”“Yes, Mayor!” replied one of the tallest guards.Rafael gazed into Christian’s eyes and said, “At first, I just wanted to make you kneel at my feet and at the feet of my son. But I’ve changed my mind now. It seems quite enjoyable to see you paralyzed and rotting in jail.”The tallest guard approached Christian and pulled his arm, causing Christian to stand up in a single swift motion.“How many lives do you dare to wager with the mayor? No one has dared to challenge him because they all know the consequences. I will break every bone of anyone who dares to offend, let alone challenge, the mayor!” the guard declared with bulging eyes and a clenched jaw, his veins visibly pulsating.The man appeared immensely powerful, and Chri
After obtaining the address where Yve was kidnapped, Declan and Camila immediately set off for the location.Not forgetting, Declan contacted some of the tough guys who had been working with him for violence-related issues to help in freeing Yve.“Can Yve be saved?” Camila asked.“Of course she can. Just trust that I’ll do everything in my power to set her free. I’ve also contacted my men to assist,” Declan replied.“What if the kidnapper demands a large ransom?”Although Declan was known for being very meticulous with his money, he was willing to pay a hefty sum if the kidnapper wanted a ransom.“I’ll give whatever he wants. Don’t worry; I have plenty of money,” said Declan.Camila nodded and gently caressed the man’s cheek.Afterward, Camila contacted Lyka to inform her about Yve’s kidnapping. Among those closest to Yve contacted by Camila, the name Christian never crossed the mind of the middle-aged woman. That’s because she didn’t believe Christian could save Yve.After a 30-minut
Noval had been navigating the underground world for approximately 10 years since his retirement from the military. He might not be young anymore, but his strength had only improved. In fact, he was one of the most skilled martial artists in US. If he had chosen a different path, a more righteous one, he would surely be recognized as a Master.Christian noticed a change in Darrell’s expression when he heard the name Noval. “What’s the matter, Darrell?” Christian asked.Darrell remained silent for a moment, but then he said, “Noval is an extremely dangerous man. He’s a retired special forces military personnel with immense power. Even...”Christian furrowed his brow and inquired, “Even what?”Hesitating, Darrell replied, “Even my team and I couldn’t take him on.”Boom! Darrell’s words left Christian in profound shock. He hadn’t expected that Darrell would be unable to handle a kidnapper.“Are you exaggerating? A kidnapper, and you can’t confront him?” Christian asked, puzzled.Darrell n
A man who was one of Noval’s henchmen hurriedly intercepted Christian as he made his way towards Felipe.The man swiftly launched an attack with a straight and fast right-hand punch aimed at Christian’s face.Yve’s husband evaded the attack by ducking and immediately delivered a powerful blow to the man’s abdomen, standing up tall to make the man’s head collide with Noval’s henchman’s jaw.The man fell to the ground, unconscious.Diego and Darrell exchanged glances as they witnessed the event.Neither of them had expected Christian to defeat one of Noval’s inner-circle henchmen so easily.They both knew that those surrounding Noval, especially those in the inner circle, were the best fighters in Noval’s employ.Noval was equally surprised by what had happened. Therefore, he immediately ordered another one of his henchmen named Lion to step forward.“Lion, advance!” Noval commanded.Lion was one of Noval’s martial arts fighters and held the highest level among them, a 3-star S-rank. Hi
Dust swirled, and shards of ceramic floor tiles flew through the air.The situation inside the warehouse was becoming akin to a sandstorm in the desert. Everyone shielded their eyes from the flying ceramic fragments.“Mr. Demetri!”In this chaotic moment, Darrell was deeply concerned about Christian. Christian’s life was his responsibility, and now he couldn’t protect him.After a few moments, the dust began to settle, and visibility improved.At this moment, everyone was surprised by the scene before them.A man in military uniform stood in front of Christian, effortlessly blocking Noval’s blows with just one hand.“W-what? My attacks were stopped with just one hand?” Noval couldn’t believe what was happening.But when he saw the uniform worn by the man who had blocked his attacks, he trembled. He no longer dared to fight.“Defeating you is an easy task for me!” Octavian declared.Noval withdrew his hand and asked, “Who are you? Why is someone like you here?”Octavian delivered a pow
Lyka felt as though she had entered another dimension, rendering her unable to see or hear anything. This lasted for a few seconds.Until...“Lyka!” Camila pulled Lyka’s hand, snapping the young woman out of it.“Oh, Mom, you scared me!” Lyka protested.“Well, you’ve been called several times. What were you daydreaming about? What’s on your mind?” Camila asked with a sharp look.Lyka shook her head and said, “I was just thinking about Yve’s feelings. She must be devastated and traumatized.”Camila sighed deeply. She felt great pity for her daughter and couldn’t imagine what Lyka had gone through.“Never mind what has happened. Yve is safe now. The most important thing is to offer her moral support so she doesn’t suffer deep trauma,” Camila said. “And you should take this as a lesson to avoid similar issues in the future.”Lyka nodded. Without saying a word, she walked to her room, leaving her mother behind.Christian was inside Yve’s room, holding her while she slept. He had been sitt
Although she was puzzled, Dorota didn’t ask many questions and chose to follow Christian’s instructions right away.In her room, Dorota contacted someone who had been her college friend to ask for comprehensive information about Zofia and the Kowalska Family.Meanwhile, in his room, Christian continued searching for information about the Kowalska Family on the internet.His encounter with Zofia had piqued his interest in collaborating with the woman. From what Christian had gathered, Zofia was a smart and hardworking individual. Working with someone like her would undoubtedly be pleasant and advantageous.Initially, Christian had initiated this project to assist his wife. However, when his wife rejected it, he couldn’t cancel the project, as it had already become a topic of public discussion. Furthermore, ChrisCrafter Ltd. had invested a considerable amount of capital. Cancelling the project would tarnish the company’s reputation and threaten BIG Consortium Corp’s stock price.Not to
Dorota returned to Christian’s room and handed over two proposals that had been sent by the Kowalska company. She had also prepared some information about the Kowalska Family, as instructed by Christian.Christian quickly reviewed the proposals sent by the Kowalska company and found them to be very impressive.“What about the information on the Kowalska Family?” Christian asked.Dorota handed her tablet to Christian and said, “This is the report I got from my contacts, Sir. It’s still basic information because I only gave them 30 minutes to gather all the information about the Kowalska Family. If this report is satisfactory, I’ll send it to your email.”Christian nodded, then examined the report, which didn’t differ significantly from the information he already had. There was no particularly interesting information about the family, except that they were a conglomerate family.It was now 9 in the morning, and all the final proposals from the companies that had made it through the last
