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
Rafael still tried to meet Christian despite being blocked by the security officers.Zofia, who witnessed this, was very surprised. How could a mayor plead and even prostrate himself before Christian?This raised a big question for the woman.Rafael’s guards now began to challenge the security officers of the ChrisCrafter Ltd. company. And one of the guards even struck one of the security officers.But all the chaos stopped when Diego arrived and threw all of Rafael’s guards out of the company building.“You disrespectful lot! How dare you create a commotion here!” Diego growled while kicking the guards.Then the man turned to the mayor and said, “You should consider yourself lucky that Lord Demetri has spared your life. If not for his kindness, I would have killed you yesterday.”Crash!Of course, hearing that made the mayor frightened. He nodded and said, “Alright. I will leave here now.”After saying that, the mayor left the company building.Once Rafael left, Diego and his men als
Getting that question made Darrell confused about how to answer it.Honestly, Demetri, whoever he was, was someone Darrell couldn’t touch, no matter what.And as for Reginald, to Darrell, it was like climbing a steep rocky mountain without safety ropes.“To be honest, the one who can turn the tables is Mr. Demetri himself. Even though you will take over the Demetri Family in the near future, it can’t be said to be easy. Mr. Reginald will resist you sooner or later. Therefore, you must have the ability to protect yourself and build your image as soon as possible. With that, you will gain support from the other Demetri Family members,” Darrell said.“Is that the only way?” Christian asked.“Yes, of course. Only by building your image and gaining support from the family can you defeat him,” Darrell replied.After thinking it over, Darrell’s words seemed to be right. With the support of the Demetri family, Reginald wouldn’t be able to do much. Especially if Carlos Demetri announced his he
