Colston City was a well-modernized and large city, and Don Leonardo dominated every part of it. In the long run, his influence expanded to other cities, giving him a foothold across the entire county.

Don Leonardo wasn't just heartless and brutal; he was also inhumane and barbaric.

To crown it all, Don Leo was so powerful that nothing in this life was beyond his reach. Those who dared to stand against his authority in the past found themselves staring from their graves in an instant.

Cynthia was lost in thought as she found the matter so difficult to comprehend. In the beginning, she believed the fake website was just a plan by rival fashion companies. Now that she discovered that Don Leonardo was one of the powerful figures supporting the crime, she became restless.

The board of executives couldn't lift their jaws off the floor as they realized that the situation was beyond their understanding.

Any battle with Don Leo is nearly unconquerable. Given that, they couldn't contemplate wha

    Kelvin Blane froze in place instantly as the cold and disgusted stares shifted in his direction.His composure disappeared at that moment as he fell into confusion. Kelvin pretended as though the call wasn't for him while all eyes were still on him.One of the executives who had been suspicious of Kelvin calmly said to him, "Mr. Blane, why didn't you answer the call?"Restlessness appeared on Kelvin's face as he forced a smile. "Um... The call is not as important as the matter at hand. I can attend to the call later."Everyone wore a surprised look on their faces. Hadn't the fool Kelvin played enough?"Oh, I see." The executive responded, surprised, and walked up to him."Mr. Blane, you must be mindful of the company's ethics for not picking up your call during a meeting. Isn't that right?"Kelvin replied with a forced slight smile, "That's true. I think we should pay more attention to the matter at hand instead."Everyone in the room exchanged glances of surprise. Even at that moment

    "I doubt that you both know the punishment for the crime you committed!" Cynthia calmly said to them, with a hint of anger in her voice.The statement was more than a harsh slap to the criminals' faces as they returned to their senses.Kelvin and the IT manager had their faces turned to the ground as they panicked about what could be their fate at any moment.Seeing them composed now, Cynthia shook her head with no pity for the punishment she had for them."It seems you have something to say. Hurry up, I'm listening." She was referring to the IT manager.Embarrassed, the IT manager began to explain with a shaky voice, "Like I said earlier, Mr. Blane was the one who forced me to collaborate in the crime. As the IT manager of the company, I was forced to disclose the key features of the company's real online store. I was also forced to disclose the design of the unreleased collection of the company."The whole room was gripped with shock as he revealed the secret.The executives began t

    An intense wave of shock took over the room immediately. Everyone rushed to their feet, their eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at the dead body on the floor.Kelvin's skin had turned extremely pale and looked horrible.The minds of the onlookers were clouded with millions of questions as they struggled to understand why Kelvin took his life so abruptly.All he was asked to do was provide the names of the company's enemies who were behind the scheme. How could that be so difficult?The other two criminals kneeling next to Kelvin were frightened to death as they stared at the horrible-looking dead body. They just couldn't believe their eyes.Despite the fact that Cynthia was a very strong lady, she was also moved by the unbelievable occurrence that happened before her eyes.

    Given how troubled Cynthia's mind was, Michael remained quiet for a moment, pondering the matter for a solution.For Kelvin and his colleagues to prefer taking their lives rather than exposing these enemies says a lot about who they were.There's no doubt that they are far beyond whoever they might have thought they were.To Michael, he understood that these enemies would be some very secretive, powerful figures who go after their targets while collaborating with Don Leo.Cynthia entered his office looking utterly exhausted, while Michael followed behind.The tired CEO threw herself onto a couch and heaved a deep sigh. This time, the pain she had been holding in the conference room was evident on her face.She shook her head and said, "It's sad that I never saw this coming. I would have been more prepared for it. The reality of your enemies multiplying as you become more successful seems to be inevitable."Michael understood her plight and consoled her, "I know the matter at hand is v

    Michael's eyes blinked twice as he snapped out of the long journey his mind had traveled. He was trying to reach for his phone in his pocket; however, his eyes were still locked on Cynthia.The gorgeous woman noticed a bit of awkwardness in the air and then leaned back slowly."I guess that's Silas Spencer calling you. Attend to him, Mr. Quinn," Cynthia said, standing up from the couch and moving to her office chair.Michael exhaled and responded, "I think so too. Spare me a minute to answer the call."Cynthia waved a hand in the air. "That's important. Please attend to him," she said, glancing at the works on her table.Michael had thought of calling Silas earlier to ask if they had been able to leave the criminal's apartment safely. He also wanted to inquire about his location so they could go for the gemstones he had found.As soon as he slid his phone out of his pocket, he discovered the call wasn't from Silas but from Sage of the Silvana Palace.Michael wondered what the man had

    In the king's private visitors' room, Michael was seated, patiently waiting for the arrival of King James.Then, two palace attendants entered with a big tray of fruits and cheese, serving them before Michael.Despite how fresh and inviting the fruits looked, Michael's appetite was absent at this moment.This was because he was quite bothered about the issue at hand, especially because he hadn't heard from Silas.He couldn't wait for the King's arrival; he quickly wanted to find out how soon Don Leo would be launching his attack on the city.At that moment, King James walked in. "Mr. Quinn, you are once my savior. Thank you for coming through this time, too."Michael got to his feet and welcomed him. "You're very welcome, Your Highness."James couldn't fathom Michael's humility. He wished such a man with potential and humility could be the husband to all his daughters."You are too polite, Mr. Quinn. Please take your seat," James said, then his gaze fell on the untouched refreshments

    King James and Michael exited the private visitor's room and headed out.As soon as they stepped out of the grand building, Sage was seen from a distance hurrying towards them."My king, I have successfully made sure your order is in action. All the security strategies have been put to use. I believe Silvana City is safe from all forms of invasion now."After James narrated the nightmare to Sage, different procedures were been put to use to safeguard the city. One of them was inviting the capable Michael Quinn over.James nodded in response and said, "You've done a good job, Sage. But Mr. Quinn just made it clear to me that there's more to the matter at hand. So, we still have a lot to see into."Sage eyes lit up immediately, "Really? What are they? Let's get them addressed so we can the city can have a rest."James responded calmly, "You are spot on, Sage. Come with us, let's see into it together."Instantly, Sage followed behind gently. Even though he has no clue where they are head

    Having a very strong man like Steelheart would be very helpful for the challenging journey Michael was about to embark on. Therefore, he welcomed Steelheart wholeheartedly."Thank you for your help, strong one. We can be on our way now."Steelheart bowed slightly to him in respect and requested to drive the car.Michael agreed, and Steelheart jumped into the driver's seat while Michael sat next to him.Sage, in the passenger seat, heaved a sigh of relief as Steelheart's presence eased his mind.King James wished them a safe and successful journey under his breath as he watched the SUV zoom off.Inside the car, their faces looked determined and focused as their thoughts revolved around the challenge before them.Just then, Michael broke the silence, "After conducting a lot of research, I was able to find Zak's location."The others nodded slowly as Michael took out his phone and showed them the route to the wizard's residence on Google Maps.Zak's residence is located in a deep and sca

    After a conclusion had been reached, Michael intended to return home to prepare himself for the challenge ahead. Even though the information about the wizard was very scary, Michael never doubted his abilities.After all, with the genuine black opal in his possession, his spiritual strength would grow to a greater level.Michael set aside all thoughts and was about to exit the palace when Patricia, Liam's elder sister, met his gaze. The beautiful princess gave him a fleeting glance before turning and heading in her own direction.Despite it being just a glance, the air in the atmosphere felt charged at that moment. The meaning of the glance was incomprehensible to both, leaving the duo in a state of uncertainty........It was already the next day. Michael had taken his time and did what was needed overnight. At this moment, his spiritual strength had grown to the extent that he could unleash a powerful blast of energy from his bare hands.As soon as he arrived at the palace, a quick

    The king felt extremely disgusted with Sage immediately. Undoubtedly, such a greedy fellow wouldn't mind ending the king's life if he got paid for it.Before the unexpected could occur, James had already resolved to end Sage's life first.Michael was still dumbfounded as he found it hard to understand how an elderly man could be so greedy. If not for his greed, there's a chance that the protection mirror wouldn't have gone missing.As soon as Sage saw the disgust and anger on their faces, he quickly protested,"Your Highness, please don't get me wrong! That was my intention when I got the fabricated black opal, but not anymore! That was why I returned the genuine black opal to the treasury after I realized that money isn't the pinnacle of everything in life."King James' face remained stern as he stared at the unreliable elderly man. Even though there was a hint of genuineness on his face as he protested, it was still very hard to believe him.James then turned to Michael and said, "M

    A total fright took over the room as the revelation restricted the air in the atmosphere.Given that the king had once witnessed Zak in action in Colston City, that made him realize who Sage described in the narration.Zak was a popular wizard in Colston City; however, only a few people had been privileged to see him in person.Aside from that, this ruthless wizard was known for devouring human beings on a whim without opening his mouth. Zak could manipulate time and mess with whatever he targeted.The king tried to understand that he must have spared Sage that night so as not to leave a trace of his visitation.The only question that revolved around King James' mind now was why Zak came for Silvana City's protection mirror.He could remember he had never had any business with the wizard in the past, let alone had a clash with him. Why Silvana City's peace was a problem for him left him with questions.King James sighed heavily as he let go of Sage's shoulders. He turned to Michael, w

    An impatient facial expression appeared on the king's face. All he wanted to know was the current location of the protection mirror. The longer the sacred mirror remains missing in Silvana City, the closer unimaginable disasters are likely to strike the city.At that moment, Sage's face looked so bitter, and his lips were trembling. The more he was about to speak, the more tears ran down his cheeks."On the night of Prince Liam's last birthday..." Sage bit his lower lip, trying to hold back his tears.Michael paid more attention to the elderly man as he began to explain. He was so impressed by how the king had perfectly handled the situation up to this moment.If the king hadn't been watching Sage, who would have known he had a secret to reveal?Sage was weeping hard as he continued, "While the celebration was ongoing that night, I was lured out of the celebration grounds by a stranger.""Without any discussion, he gifted me five million dollars as a kind gesture."Michael and King Ja

    King James was stunned and refused to believe his eyes. He felt his mind playing a trick on him as he walked closer to the shelf in doubt.Sage and Michael had their eyes on the king as they saw him stop before the shelf, staring in a direction.Meanwhile, the king was surprised that what he saw was real. The protection mirror was hidden behind other valuables on the shelf. It was a hexagonal-shaped mirror with traditional intricacies.Michael and Sage were still watching the king as he stood there when he reached for the mirror and turned to them.They were befuddled to see the traditional mirror in his hand. Who would have thought that the protection mirror, capable of saving the whole city, was sitting there?However, King James's face tightened in rage as he asked Sage, "The loyal one, tell me how this got here?"Sage's ocean of tears dried immediately as he rose to his feet. He wore a bland expression as he gave his two cents."It's very understandable, Your Highness. That foolis

    King James and Michael were stunned to hear that from Sage. A surprised look was directed at the elderly man as the king snapped at him in rage."What do you mean by that, Sage? Are you trying to silence her?"Sage quickly composed himself, waving his hands in decline. "Don't get me wrong, Your Highness. I meant what else does she have to say, as it was already obvious that she is a skillful thief.""If not, how was she able to steal the key card that I used a few minutes ago to sneak into the jewel room? My king, there's a high chance that she was the one who stole the protection mirror. Her skill is highly bewildering!"Sage's stance introduced a bit of confusion into the atmosphere. However, even though his points were worth pondering, they were quite unbelievable.The king wondered how it was possible for the lady to steal the key card from him without any of them finding out. That had to be magic.The king didn't argue with Sage as he realized Sage was trying to manipulate their

    They were all extremely stunned to find the gemstone with the lady.The king's face turned seriously angry at her. If they hadn't caught her here, they wouldn't have discovered the theft.King James had a cold stare at her, wondering how long she had been stealing from the treasury. He was left in the middle of his thoughts, struggling to believe that she was the one who stole the protection mirror.Then, the king angrily said to her, "So, you've been the one stealing all the valuables in this treasury!""Your Highness, that's not true. This is my first time visiting the treasury, and this is the only valuable I took. Pardon me." She quickly explained with utmost fear, letting go of the black opal.Just then, a thought came to James's mind as he confronted Sage. "King adviser, I remember we only have one black opal in this treasury, and it has been given to Mr. Quinn. Where does this come from?"Sage took a moment to think before he replied, "That's true, Your Highness. We have given

    They all quickly walked forward in that direction with curiosity."Who's there?!" King James asked sternly as they got closer to the corner. However, there was no response.Instantly, they all checked around the corner but couldn't find anyone.Sage heaved a sigh and said, "Could it be that we overheard things?""I don't think that's true. If not, why do we all react to the sound at the same time?" Michael's observation swept away Sage's point.Sage was about to further argue with Michael when they heard a heavier grunt right in that same spot.This time, they all caught the exact angle from which the sound came and walked briskly toward it.King James was closer to the direction. He saw nothing else there but a big, old carton that seemed to be empty. James doubted if his instinct was right as he slowly opened the empty carton.Boom!They were all shocked to find a skinny young lady hiding in the big carton. She was grunting heavily due to the excessive heat. She looked extremely exh
