Mateo left without looking back, fiercely issuing orders to his gathered subordinates." Plunder everything of value ! Destroy the rest ! " he shouted.His men then pounced on Quentin's residence like a pack of hungry wolves, breaking, stealing, and ravaging everything in their path." Deal with the staff ! Make them disappear ! " Mateo barked again.His henchmen began ruthlessly hunting down the servants, shooting anyone who resisted. Piercing screams filled the air.At twilight, the massacre came to an end. The mansion was nothing but a smoldering field of ruins.Mateo entered Quentin's office, stepping over the corpses, and settled into the boss's chair with evident delight." I have finally taken control of all of Quentin's assets. I am now the new CEO of Chen Enterprises," he declared with a triumphant smile.He poured himself a drink and raised his glass in a toast." To our new conquest ! "His men clinked glasses with him, laughing heartily.[ ••• ••• ••• ]As Quentin's body i
Suddenly, the door swung open abruptly, and a determined Japanese nurse named Lyly entered, her eyes sparkling with urgency.The nurse who was taking care of Quentin turned around, stunned." Who... who are you ? " she stammered, taken aback.Without a word, Lyly rushed to Quentin's bedside. Swiftly, she struck the nurse who was attending to him, causing her to collapse." Now, I must extract this patient from this facility as quickly as possible ! " Lyly thought.Ignoring the chaotic surroundings, Lyly skillfully unplugged the cables connected to Quentin's trembling body, while closely monitoring him.Gently, she lifted Quentin's fragile body from the bed, cradling him carefully despite his convulsions. His breathing was shallow and erratic.Navigating through the bustling hallways, Lyly moved with grace and determination." I will succeed. This patient must not succumb," she whispered.A truck awaited them outside the hospital, its engine roaring. With a firm hand, Lyly carefully pl
Quentin was about to reply when a familiar female voice called out to him," Quentin, please come back home! Your dinner is getting cold ! "He turned around to see Lyly, who was waving at him from the end of the street. A smile appeared on his face, and he started walking towards her.The young man firmly grabbed Quentin's arm, preventing him from leaving." I haven't finished talking to you."Lyly approached with determined steps, her face displaying a stern expression." Quentin has nothing else to say to you. Let him join me."She then firmly grasped Quentin's hand and pulled him along.The young man and his bodyguards burst into a harsh laugh." Did you see how pathetic he is, clinging to that woman ? " one of them remarked." He has lost everything and is now nothing but a beggar wandering the streets ! How disgraceful," added the other.The arrogant young man shook his head, feigning a pitiful look." Quentin Chen, once an industry magnate, now lower than the dust beneath my fe
As Quentin began his recovery, a sudden commotion outside caught his attention. Lyly rushed to the window to catch a glimpse of a group of people rushing towards the house, shouting his name." Quick ! Our friend is seriously ill, we fear he won't survive ! " declared a desperate man.Lyly turned to her mother." What should we do ? "" Go and help them, my daughter," her mother replied, confident in her abilities." But what about Quentin ? " Lyly hesitated.Quentin took her hand." Go, someone needs your help. I'll be fine."Lyly's mother nodded approvingly." Go ahead, it is your duty to assist this patient. Do what you do best."Lyly smiled faintly." I'll be back quickly."Then she followed the group with determined steps." What's the problem ? " she asked, kneeling beside the patient, who was already pale." He had a seizure and then lost consciousness, we can't wake him up!" cried a distraught woman.Lyly carefully and gently examined the patient." His breathing is weak and i
Thus, Quentin and Arjun escaped from Lyly's mother's house, evading the approaching police.They ran through the streets, turning back at every corner, until they finally reached a train station." Where are we heading ? " Quentin asked, gasping for breath." We're going home ! " Arjun replied, scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger.They quickly bought a ticket and boarded the next arriving train.Once aboard, Arjun turned to Quentin." What you achieved back there is hardly commendable," Arjun declared disapprovingly.Quentin raised an eyebrow." What do you mean ? "" You know exactly what I'm talking about. Your behavior towards Lyly's mother was inappropriate. You seemed completely devoid of gratitude for what she and her daughter did for you," Arjun stated in a serious tone.Quentin sighed." I had to act that way to protect them," he replied." What do you mean ? " Arjun asked, confused." I don't know if you're being followed or monitored by someone, but I had to ma
Suddenly, Quentin turns his gaze towards the direction from which the detonation resonated and catches sight of an old lady struggling with a masked individual in the public thoroughfare.He then turns to Arjun, wearing a fervent expression." We must intervene, she needs our help ! "Arjun tries to hold him back." Quentin, wait ! It's dangerous, we should alert the authorities ! "But Quentin is determined." I don't have time, I can't remain idle here ! " he exclaims, freeing himself from Arjun's grip.He rushes into the street at full speed." Quentin, no ! " exclaims Arjun as he follows him.When they arrive at the scene, the woman is being mistreated by the masked individual.Quentin charges towards them like a fury." Release her immediately ! "The masked individual turns towards him and delivers a powerful punch. Quentin takes the blow, then retaliates with a violent knee strike to the stomach.The man stumbles. Quentin grabs him by the arm and disarms him with a skilled move
Quentin's heart races as he recognizes the young woman in the room, namely Jasmine.However, he notices that Jasmine is no longer the same today. She looks pale, tired, and her belly has grown." Jasmine ? " he calls out to her.Jasmine abruptly stops and gazes at him for a few seconds before quickly turning away and heading towards the door." Jasmine, wait ! " Quentin calls out again.However, the casino owner intervenes, rising from his desk to block her path." Excuse me, young man, but how do you know this woman ? " he asks, giving Jasmine a sneaky glance.Quentin steps forward with an authoritative tone." I know her perfectly well, and she's pregnant with my child. However, she shouldn't be in such an environment."" Jasmine, explain to me why you're here," he adds, staring at her once again.From that moment on, Jasmine lowers her gaze, avoiding any eye contact with the people present in the room." As you can see, I work here ! " she murmurs in a barely audible voice.Quentin
Quentin's heart races even faster when he notices smoke curling out of the briefcase.Carefully, he grabs it and rushes outside, placing it safely on the ground, as far away from the casino entrance as possible.A few moments later, a muffled explosion occurs, shattering the briefcase into pieces and sending flaming bills into the air.Quentin watches in disbelief as the money he had worked so hard to earn goes up in flames." This situation is highly suspicious. It is highly likely that the briefcase was rigged to explode as soon as I left the establishment, " he realizes with clarity, although sadness is evident on his face." Clearly, someone did not want me to keep this money, " he adds.His mind races as he tries to determine who could have orchestrated such a plot." I know who is capable of such treachery ! The owner of the casino, " he murmurs almost to himself." But how could he have tampered with the briefcase without me noticing ? " he wonders once again.It is at this mome
