George placed his bet with absolute confidence, even mocking Scott, convinced victory was already his.

But Scott was equally confident. He extended his right hand, offering a handshake.

"Deal," Scott said.

"Deal," George replied, gripping Scott's hand and shaking it firmly.

A sly grin crept across George’s face. He was certain Scott and Luisa had mistakenly wandered into the wrong cabin. Their simple, understated appearance made it obvious—or so he thought. Unlike him and Linda, who were decked out in high-end designer brands, Scott and Luisa wore modest clothing—though still quite stylish.

What George didn’t realize was that while Scott and Luisa weren’t flaunting big-name brands, the items they wore were even more exclusive. The lack of logos was deliberate, as their clothing was custom-made in limited quantities. Lombard, the man behind their wardrobe, ran a private factory specializing in high-quality, timeless pieces without flashy branding.

If anyone in the cabin were to touch S

    Seeing Tony busy texting someone, Luisa tugged on Scott’s arm. Scott turned, glancing at his wife.“Scott, do you think we’re in the wrong? What if those two seats we booked were already reserved for someone else?” Luisa asked, her eyes full of worry.Scott quickly shook his head. “That won’t happen. And if it does, it’s not our fault. It’s the airline’s mistake. They can’t just ask us to leave this cabin,” Scott said firmly.Luisa gazed deeply into Scott’s eyes, and he returned the look. He needed to reassure her that they were in the right.“I’ve asked a colleague to check the passenger database today to confirm this issue,” Tony said, slipping his phone back into his pocket. “We should get confirmation soon,” he added, handing the two tickets back to the flight attendant.Tony seemed confident, even arrogant. His smile and posture were smug, especially compared to the flight attendant’s seriousness.The flight attendant examined the tickets again, her expression both stern and puzz

  • WAR GOD'S REVENGE   You Don't Know Who I Am?

    "Protect Young Master!" one of the bodyguards shouted.The rest of the guards immediately closed ranks, shielding the man in the brown cloak from sight. Some of them aimed their weapons in various directions, prepared for any potential threat from other passengers."Hey, you! Hands up! Now!" the same guard barked, glaring at the suspicious passenger Scott had just knocked down.The man was clearly outnumbered. Even if he had a backup weapon, he was in no position to use it. Any sudden move would be met with bullets from the guards aiming at him.On top of that, his left hand throbbed with pain after being hit by Scott’s shoe. Slowly, he raised his hands, casting a venomous glare at Scott."Restrain him!" ordered the guard.Without hesitation, two other guards, keeping their guns trained on the man, approached and pinned him down roughly. They clearly believed this man was either a criminal or a terrorist."Search him! Make sure he’s not carrying any bombs or other dangerous items," th

    Scholtz turned to Linda, a deep crease forming between his brows. Her arrogant, smug face irritated him.“And who are you, if I may ask? Why do you think you have the right to interfere in this matter?” Scholtz asked sarcastically.“Who am I?” Linda shot back, staring at Scholtz in disbelief. A moment later, she sneered.“She’s the mayor’s niece,” George chimed in, feeling the need to defend his girlfriend. “I don’t know who you are, but I’d suggest you watch your tone around her. After all, she’s related to the top official in Mildenbrough.”Scholtz glared at George, and George defiantly raised his chin, signaling that he wasn’t intimidated.George and Linda’s arrogant attitude left Tony and the flight attendant stunned. Unlike them, Tony and the flight attendant knew exactly who Scholtz was and just how influential he was in Mildenbrough and other cities.“You said the seats Mr. Scott and his wife reserved were already taken by two other passengers, right?” Scholtz asked the flight

    "I'm waiting," Scott said, staring at George with disdain. George returned Scott’s gaze, but his arrogance had disappeared. With someone as powerful as Scholtz backing Scott, how could he possibly act so smug as before? “What’s going on here?” Scholtz asked, turning to the flight attendant. The attendant responded, “These two made a bet, sir. If Mr. Scott and his wife had entered the wrong cabin, they’d have to kneel before these two and address them as ‘Sir’ and ‘Madam.’ But if they didn’t, then the reverse would happen.” Scholtz frowned. “That’s the bet they made?” “More or less, sir. For more details, you might want to ask Tony, since he was involved in the wager,” the attendant added. Scholtz turned his gaze to Tony, who glared at the attendant, clearly displeased by being outed. But it was the truth. “You were involved?” Scholtz asked coldly. “Explain.” “Um…” Tony hesitated, thinking about how to phrase his words. “Yes, Mr. Scholtz. That was the bet, and in the end, these

  • WAR GOD'S REVENGE   This Isn't Fair!

    Scott couldn’t understand what was going through Lisa’s mind, why she kept sending him texts as if she were trying to terrorize him.In her latest message, Lisa told Scott there was no point in him going to Ravenshire because, as she had said before, in a few days Scott would be forced to leave Mildenbrough for good."What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?" asked Luisa, noticing the change in Scott’s expression."Ah, it’s nothing," Scott said quickly, putting his phone on airplane mode and shoving it back into his pocket.Luisa gave him an irritated look, likely upset that Scott had lied again by saying “it’s nothing,” but she soon leaned her head back against the seat and closed her eyes.Scott tried to do the same, leaning his head back, but he didn’t close his eyes. Instead, he stared at the luggage compartment above, wondering what his ex-fiancée was planning.…At Grandier Corp, inside Lisa’s office."What?! Scott escaped your brother’s trap?" Lisa demanded from Denis.[Yeah,

    In the city hall, in the mayor's aides' office...Denis had just opened his laptop when his phone vibrated. He checked it. There was an incoming chat message from Lisa.He opened the message. Denis immediately made a sour face, finding the chat message so long.In essence, in her message, Lisa complained at length about how her days had become so bad in the last few days, and it was all because of that bastard Scott.Lisa also explained the latest situation at her family's company, Grandier Corp., where she was now threatened with losing her position. And not only that, her family who worked there could also be affected.Lisa ended her long message by asking Denis to really punish Scott as she had planned. She also asked Denis to help her gain privileged access to Dominion Group later.After reading it, Denis sighed. Lisa was a real demanding person. No wonder she was always changing boyfriends in college; no rich or popular guy on campus lasted long in a romantic relationship with he

  • WAR GOD'S REVENGE   The Bearded Man In The Bar

    Scott's hands continued to move down until they finally touched Luisa's boobs. Reflexively, Luisa sighed. It made Scott's desire increase drastically. Scott finally squeezed his wife's boobs while taking a deep breath.This time Luisa didn't just sigh, but screamed. But it wasn't a positive response. Suddenly Luisa removed Scott's hands from her boobs, then stood up and turned around, moving slightly away from Scott."What's wrong?" Scott asked, surprised and anxious.Luisa looked at Scott intensely. Her chest rose and fell with her rough breathing.Then she looked down, slightly to the right. There was a kind of guilt visible on her face.Scott was even more worried about Luisa. Luisa's reaction reminded him of the night of their wedding, when Scott and Luisa were about to sleep together—in the same room—for the first time."You okay?" Scott asked."I'm so sorry, Scott," Luisa replied, shaking her head. "I don't think I'm ready for this."Scott sighed. His guess was right. His wife s

    Everyone in the bar turned their gaze to Scott, including the bearded man and the woman who was the victim of his slap."Who the fuck are you? Did you even know what you just did to me?!" the bearded man glared at Scott."Yeah, I did. I threw an empty glass at someone who deserved it," Scott said, smirking while raising his chin."You fucking bastard! You're going to regret this stupidity, pal!""Will I? I'm not sure about that."Scott's facial expression and tone clearly showed that he was belittling the bearded man. Of course, this made the bearded man unhappy. He lowered his hand holding his head and found the blood there. He looked back at Scott and grinned."Come here, you son of a bitch! Let's duel like men!" the bearded man challenged."Okay," Scott replied, his hands still in his pants pockets.The bearded man took off his sleeveless vest. Now his large body with a broad, hard chest was visible under his black tank top.The people near the door started to move away. They knew

    The helicopter carrying them finally arrived at its destination. But Zach was still tense. The situation at the ranch was chaotic. It was as if the place had just been hit by a white tornado and a powerful earthquake."Sir, over there!" exclaimed one of his men seated in the front seat, beside the pilot.Zach immediately focused his eyes on the direction his man was pointing. There, below, Scott was standing, holding Luisa.“Land! Land now!” he ordered.The helicopter slowly descended, landing a few dozen yards from where Scott was standing. Zach immediately opened the door and stepped out. He half-ran, rushing towards Scott, who was now walking towards him.“Are you alright, General?” Zach asked.“I’m fine, but my wife…” Scott answered.Zach immediately looked at Luisa in Scott’s arms, unconscious. Her face was pale.“Take me to the nearest hospital. After that, while my wife gets medical attention, you guys have to take me to Oval Enclave. I have to get my potion,” Scott said

  • 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
