Everyone in the room, including Luisa, was stunned by what Scott had just done.

How could he be this reckless? Didn’t he know by now that Quint was the son of the richest businessman in Mildenbrough?

“Hey, you! Do you even realize what you’re doing? Drop that knife and let Quint go!” shouted the Beaumont family representative, his voice booming.

“Are you insane? Let Quint go now or I’m calling the police!” the Vanderhelm family representative chimed in.

Among all the top-tier families attending the auction, only the Ravenwood family’s representative didn’t pressure Scott to release Quint. In fact, a beautiful woman in their entourage seemed amused.

Lisa, on the other hand, had been riding a wave of anxious thoughts since just a moment ago, when a gust of wind made her feel at ease for a brief second. Now, that unease was back, gnawing at her.

What if Scott really did cut off Quint’s hand like he threatened? That would surely infuriate the Winterbourne family, right?

And wouldn’

    Scott glanced at the woman. She was with the Ravenwood family.Briton also turned to her, but his glare was full of rage.“This gentleman is innocent, Mr. Briton. Quint started this mess. He demanded the woman with this gentleman sleep with him. That alone is outrageous. No wonder this gentleman got angry,” the blonde woman said.Scott narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face. He hadn’t expected anyone in the room to defend him and Luisa.Bang!Suddenly, Briton fired a shot into the air. The blonde woman flinched.“Stay out of my business, you little brat! If you stand up for the scum who cut off Quint’s hand, I’ll have my guards deal with you too!” Briton threatened.Francesca Ravenwood, the blonde woman, froze and took a step back. Was this really what Briton Winterbourne was like when enraged—ignoring anyone who dared speak and ready to crush anyone standing in his way? John Ravenwood, her father, rushed forward with a panicked expression. Standing beside Francesca,

  • WAR GOD'S REVENGE   The Disqualification of Winterbourne Group

    Seeing Steve enter the room with a furious expression, Briton wasn’t worried—in fact, he smiled. He assumed Steve was on his side. After all, Winterbourne Group had maintained a strong partnership with Dominion Group for years, and Briton was certain that relationship still held strong. “What’s going on here? How could an auction that’s supposed to be classy and elegant turn into such a mess? Why is there a table flipped over? And what was that sound I heard earlier? A gunshot?” Steve demanded as he walked toward the crowd. The guests quickly made way for Steve. Even though he wasn’t from one of the wealthiest families in Mildenbrough, his position as CEO of Dominion Group commanded respect and fear from everyone in the city. Even the most powerful families in Mildenbrough wouldn’t dare cross him. The only exception was Briton. As the richest man in Mildenbrough, Briton never saw himself as beneath Steve. The only person he considered his equal was Dominion Group’s Chairman. “

    Scott turned to her and said, "If the CEO of Dominion Group says so, then he must be here with us." Luisa covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes widening. "I... I’m embarrassed, Scott. That means he saw how people ridiculed and insulted me earlier," she said. Scott gave her a soft smile, his gaze warm and reassuring. "Don’t worry about that," he said. "Whatever those fools said about you, it doesn’t lessen your value in the eyes of the new chairman of Dominion Group. Trust me, okay?" Luisa nodded, still feeling unsure but choosing to believe Scott. After all, everything he had said so far had been spot on, including the prediction that Winterbourne Group would lose the bid for Dominion Group’s prestigious project. With Scott by her side, standing up for her like this, Luisa found herself feeling safe. While Luisa was calming down, Briton was growing increasingly anxious. After hearing Steve confirm that the new chairman of Dominion Group was indeed in the room, his eyes

  • WAR GOD'S REVENGE   Total Failure

    Lisa was one of the curious ones. Threatened by the possibility of losing out on projects from James, she began considering an alternative approach: getting close to this new project director. Maybe she could use her seductive body to sway him/her in her favor.At this point, Steve locked eyes with Luisa and gave a single nod, a clear signal for her to step up to the podium.Luisa was stunned. She never expected the CEO to give her such an honorable spotlight. Was this normal? And wasn’t she still in the dark about who had won the Dominion Group’s project tender?“Go on, step up,” Scott urged gently, giving her a light push on the back.With hesitant steps, Luisa moved forward, her head still lowered, unsure of what she was supposed to say.Nearly everyone in the room, including Lisa, stared at her in shock. Then, almost by instinct, Lisa cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted:"Hey, you slut! Know your place and get out of here! You belong in some filthy brothel, not here!"Li

    Instantly, Francesca screamed in excitement, jumping up and down. She hugged John beside her, and the Ravenwood representatives were moved by their victory.Applause filled the room as representatives from other families offered their congratulations, though not all did so sincerely. Some, like the Beaumont and Vanderhelm families, shot hateful glances, unwilling to accept that Dominion Group’s tender had been won by the Ravenwoods.“Would the representatives of the Ravenwood family please come forward to accept our project tender symbolically?” Luisa said.Francesca took a deep breath, exhaling through her mouth as she tried to calm her overwhelming excitement. Moments later, she walked up to the podium, accompanied by resounding applause. A wide smile lit up her face. She could hardly wait to collaborate with Dominion Group’s top executives.On the podium, with a beaming face, Francesca expressed her gratitude for Ravenwood Group being chosen as the winning bidder for the Dominion G

    “Let’s go, darling. We’re heading home,” Scott said, taking Luisa's hand and guiding her out, flashing a triumphant smile at Bobby and Jerry. Bobby and Jerry glared at Scott with hatred, their faces turning red. Scott ignored their reactions and continued guiding Luisa until they reached the elevator. They were alone now in the elevator that moved downward. Moments of silence passed before Luisa asked, "Scott, about what you said earlier... that I’m your wife..." "I just said that to make them stop badgering you. You don't like that?" Scott looked at Luisa carefully and asked. Luisa immediately turned her face away, shaking her head. Her cheeks were flushed. "No. It's not like that," she said. "It's just... a bit shocking for me. " Luisa explained. Scott smiled softly, gazing at Luisa gently, and said, "Then would you be my wife, Luisa?" Luisa choked, though she wasn’t drinking or eating anything. She turned to Scott, looking bewildered. "You’re asking me... to be your

    Daniel explained to his mother, Linda, about Luisa, who was now, surprisingly, a project director at Dominion Group.He also shared Jacob's suspicion that Luisa might have a special relationship with Dominion Group’s new chairman.Daniel presented everything calmly and clearly, hoping his mother would understand.[So, the daughter you sold off to a brothel a few months ago is now working at Dominion Group in a strategic position, and she’s got a special relationship with the chairman?]“That’s right, Mom. And I’m convinced that if we can make this happen, the financial benefits to Grandier Corp. won’t just be in the billions but in the hundreds of trillions. I think we need to make it happen, Mom.”A brief silence followed. Daniel glanced at Jacob, who looked at him with a serious expression.[Okay. Then make it happen. The impact on our family business would be tremendous if we could establish a continuous partnership with Dominion Group. I’ll even increase the profit-sharing percent

    “What did you just say?!” Scott snapped, his voice rising sharply.“Didn’t hear me? Fine, I’ll say it again,” the man replied coolly as he climbed the stairs. “The woman with you—I know exactly who she is. The Grandier family sold her off to a brothel. A whore like her has no place in a five-star restaurant like this!”Scott’s face reddened as he clenched his fists, ready to charge, but Luisa suddenly grabbed his hand tightly. Scott turned and saw tears welling up in her eyes.“Don’t, Scott,” Luisa whispered, a tear slipping from her left eye.“But Luisa, he’s insulting you,” Scott protested.Luisa squeezed his hand harder and shook her head, tears now streaming from both eyes.Scott took a deep breath, his chest tightening as he watched Luisa hold back her pain.“Why are you still standing there? Get lost! I’m disgusted just looking at a whore like you. You should throw yourself in a gutter. At least the stench of the brothel clinging to you might get masked by the sewer!” the man sne

  • The Final Move

    “Ukh!”Scott’s deadly punch had found its mark, though not directly. Richard had managed to move both his arms, positioning them as shields, but he was still thrown back. The powerful punch had struck his stomach, causing him to spew blood immediately.Richard smirked and closed his eyes as his back hit the ground. But he got up quickly, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand. The resilience he possessed was far beyond Brenda’s or anyone else that Scott had ever faced.“You bastard! I’m going to crush your bones until you wish I’d killed you!” he yelled, his eyes filled with anger.Scott stared coldly at Richard. An image of Richard sitting on his unconscious wife appeared in his mind. He wouldn’t hold back anymore. He was going to finish this man off!Scott walked towards Richard, slowly at first. Richard immediately prepared himself, regulating his breath, taking a stance. His gesture and his facial expression were slightly different. Compared

  • Unthinkable Power

    Without a word, Scott let his War God aura surge, emerging from his body and forming a raging black fire that grew larger and larger.Normally, people who faced Scott would be startled instantly, even shaking in fear. But not Richard. Seeing Scott’s extraordinary aura, he just smirked.Richard slowly stood up, lifting his chin and an eyebrow. A moment later, an incredible aura emanated from his body too. The difference was that Richard’s aura was a dark red.“You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this moment,” said Richard, grinning.Scott wasn’t interested in responding to his jabbering. He immediately lunged forward, attacking Richard. His movements were so fast that the only thing normal eyes could catch was a black, horizontal flash of light.Whaaam!!!Richard didn’t dodge. He chose to parry Scott’s attacks, or more accurately, block them.The fact that Richard was able to block Scott’s punches with his bare hands proved that he was at a completely different

  • Something Strange Happened

    Letting down his guard, Scott ran towards Luisa.It wasn't that super speed he’d used before, but a regular run. He had completely absorbed his War God aura. It was uncomfortable for him to let the black fire burn so fiercely while he was facing his wife.“You’re okay, Luisa?” he asked with a panicked expression.Luisa looked at him, her eyes still blank as she kept walking calmly. But her gestures showed he she wasn’t fine.Scott suspected she was under hypnosis.“I came to save you. Don’t worry. You’re safe now,” Scott said, once they were close enough.Scott moved his arms forward, intending to hug Luisa and give her a sense of security. But her reaction was unexpected.Whoop!!Scott was startled, jumping backward. His wife was holding a small knife in her hand—a dagger—and had just tried to slash Scott’s neck with it.Scott dodged at precisely the right moment. But his expression became more tense. In front of him, his beloved wife was staring at him with burning eyes. He

  • What Happened To Her?

    Scott had to plant his feet firmly on the ground so that the extremely strong and destructive wind wouldn’t throw him off his feet. By focusing his internal energy on his legs, he sunk his feet into the ground until they were just above his ankles.The super-strong wind continued to attack Scott as though it would last forever. Faintly, he saw Brenda standing hundreds of yards ahead, with both hands directed in front of her as if she were pushing something.‘No doubt, this woman is controlling this wind,’ thought Scott. And as time passed, instead of weakening, the wind that struck him became even stronger.Scott focused more internal energy into his legs. At the same time, he was racking his brains, trying to find a loophole that he could take advantage of.Before Scott found it, he was faced with another problem.Suddenly, he felt as if his hands, face, and neck were burning. That stinging heat was carried on the wind. Scott was certain of it.‘Damn women! You think you’re bette

  • Super-Advanced War Robot

    Standing between Scott and Richard was Richard's two bodyguards. The one on the left of the jeep, the one holding the rocket launcher on his shoulder, was Jay. They both stared coldly at Scott, not interested in responding to his serious threat.Realizing that the two guys in front of him weren’t planning to get out of his way, Scott stepped forward. He clenched his fists. His eyes stared straight ahead, sharp and focused. He wasn’t missing a single movement from either of Richard’s bodyguards.Jay crouched down, apparently getting ready to fire the rocket again. The one on the right of the vehicle, meanwhile, pulled out a long chain from under his cloak, swinging it as he stepped forward.Scott kept moving, concentrating his internal energy in his hands and feet. His own War God aura was becoming more and more intense, like a living flame.Whoosh!Jay fired the rocket directly at Scott.Scott quickly dodged to the left, but suddenly he saw the long chain right in front of hi

  • Burning Like A Black Fire

    Luisa's car finally arrived at a ranch near the border. It was a vast expanse of land, miles away from any settlements. Luisa slowed down as they traveled on a wide, unpaved road, straight towards the ranch complex.From the large sign, dirty and with its letters worn off, the farm had clearly not been in operation for a long time. Luisa wondered why Brenda and Richard brought her here.Had they prepared something for her inside the ranch complex?“Stop here for a minute,” Brenda said, as they stood in front of the entrance gate to the ranch complex.Luisa did as she was told. Brenda got out of the car and walked toward the gate.‘What is she going to do?’ Luisa thought.A moment later, Brenda took a deep breath, assumed a fighting stance, and moved her arms forward with all her might.Whooosh!!!A strong wind suddenly blew towards the gate, causing it to collapse and even fly off its hinges. Some of the soil and rocks around the gate were also lifted into the air. So unexpected.Bre

  • Don't Be Late, Scott!

    Scott slammed the gas pedal of his black McLaren, speeding past car after car. He didn't care about traffic laws. Right now, all he cared about was the safety of his wife."Come on! Don’t be late, Scott!” he said to himself, his face tense.Back at Dominion Group, Scott had seen the sketch of a face made by one of his employees and he instantly recognized the figure in the sketch. It was none other than Richard the Bear.And the second Scott learned that the man after his wife was Richard the Bear, he couldn’t stay calm any longer. Thankfully, Luisa finally answered his call. Now, after he got the location of where she was, Scott was trying to get there as fast as he could.‘I don’t know what you’re planning, Richard, but if you even remotely injure my wife, I’ll make sure you have a painful death!’ he thought.Scott shifted gears, pushing his car to go even faster. With his excellent driving skills, he passed the vehicles in front of him without causing any traffic accidents.…

  • Hang On!

    Luisa drove, completely unaware that she was being followed. She occasionally checked her watch. All she could think about was how to get to the café where she was going to meet her client as quickly as possible.Luisa opened the digital map app on her phone, trying to find alternative routes that would allow her to cut down her travel time quickly. Unfortunately, maybe because she rarely drove, reading maps while driving like this was very difficult for her.Finally, she closed the app, grumbling. Her mind turned to her husband. If she were with Scott right now, he would likely find a shortcut fast, like she wanted.Speaking of Scott, he called her while she was having a meeting with another division. Of course, she didn’t answer. Later he sent her a text message, the content of which was unclear. Scott only asked her to be cautious and alert and to tell him right away if she saw something suspicious. Luisa read the texts, but didn’t respond.Luisa was stuck at an intersectio

  • What Do You Mean By That?

    Scott listened intently to Steve’s words, his face tense. Steve explained that nothing had happened to Luisa yet, but a mysterious man had come to the office earlier looking for her. This came to light after one of the receptionists was interrogated by the head of office security. The woman had been acting strangely all day, as if she were under some kind of hypnosis. "Hypnosis? This mysterious guy hypnotized the receptionist?" [That’s correct, sir. At least, that’s what we’ve concluded for now. We’re also trying to gather information from one of the security guards. Like the receptionist, he’s been acting off all day. Their symptoms are similar.] Scott frowned. Two people (presumably) hypnotized in the same place, on the same day. Most likely by the same person. But who? What business did this guy have with his wife? Or maybe—was Scott himself the real target? "How’s the receptionist now? Have you finished interrogating her?" [Yes, sir. But we’re still holding and monitorin
