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

    Lombard shoved Kim with his foot, sending the restaurant manager tumbling down the stairs. Then, he locked his eyes on Jose.Jose took a step back, gasping. The look in Lombard's eyes was filled with simmering rage. He could feel the danger closing in on him.“Beat this guy down! Make him kneel and beg forgiveness from Mr. Scott!” Lombard ordered, pointing at Jose.In an instant, his bodyguards rushed down the stairs, some even leaping from the steps.“Jose, what's happening? How did it come to this? What do we do now?” Rose asked in a panic, gripping Jose’s arm tightly.Jose didn’t answer. He was clueless himself. This was the first time he found himself surrounded by people ready to gang up on him.As Lombard's men drew closer, Rose finally released her hold, stepping back slightly from Jose.Thud! Thud! Thud!“Argh...”Lombard’s men started pummeling Jose, knocking him off balance and sending him crashing to the ground. But it didn’t stop there. The other bodyguards kicked him merc

    Scott and Luisa entered the main room of The Silver Crescent. It didn’t take long for them to find the table occupied by Lisa’s family.Seeing Scott accompanying Luisa, Lisa and her family glared at him with irritation, but they quickly shifted their focus back to Luisa.“Glad you finally here, Luisa. We’ve been waiting for you. Please, have a seat,” said Daniel, forcing a smile.Scott pulled out a chair for Luisa. The people at the table continued to act as if Scott wasn’t there.“You look quite different, Luisa. In that beautiful dress, you truly look like a princess,” Daniel continued.Luisa nodded, a shy smile on her face. She wasn’t used to such compliments, especially from someone like Daniel who had belittled her for so long.Scott noticed Luisa’s discomfort. He could sense something was off.“Why did you bring him with you, Luisa? I thought you’d come alone,” Lisa snapped.“Lisa, watch your tone!” Daniel reprimanded.He then turned his attention back to Luisa, saying, “But I’m

    As Scott returned to the table where Daniel and his family were seated, the other diners in the restaurant couldn’t help but stare, their gazes filled with curiosity."Did you hear what he just said? Who is this guy, really? Is he actually that wealthy?""He looks the part, sure. But if he’s really some big-shot tycoon, wouldn’t we know who he is? At the very least, we should’ve seen him around.""As far as I know, there are only four top-tier families in this city: the Winterbournes, the Beaumonts, the Valderhelms, and the Ravenwoods. I doubt this guy belongs to any of them.""Or maybe he's from one of the richest families in another city? Like the capital?"These were just some of the whispers that filled the room. Scott heard them all but paid them no mind. Status and recognition from these people meant nothing to him. He kept walking forward. Reaching Luisa’s fallen chair, he bent down to set it upright."Scott, what are you doing? Why did you throw away that jewelry set?" Luisa

  • WAR GOD'S REVENGE   False Accusation

    The attention of everyone in the restaurant turned back to the table occupied by Daniel's family.Luisa froze, staring at Scott and the waitress with wide eyes. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.Daniel and his family looked confused. Unlike Luisa, however, they stared at Scott with judgmental eyes."What did you say?" Scott asked after wiping the leftover wine off his face with a napkin."Don't play dumb, you motherfucker! A month ago, you took me to a hotel and slept with me when I was drunk. Then you just left, leaving a bit of money for me. Do you think I'm some kind of prostitute?!" the waitress accused angrily.Scott looked at her in bewilderment. He had no idea who this woman was. He had never met her before, so how could he have done what she claimed?"Are you sure you have the right person?" Scott asked, annoyed."The right person? You're a real piece of work! You just wanted to enjoy my body, didn't you? Now you're trying to weasel out of it when I demand you take

    Realizing that the person before her was the new owner of the restaurant where she worked, Agnes, the director of The Silver Crescent, was about to bow respectfully to Scott. However, Scott quickly signaled for her not to do that.Agnes furrowed her brow and looked at Scott, confused, but then she gave a slight nod. She understood—there were important people who didn't want their identities revealed. Scott was clearly one of them."Don't listen to him! He's my ex-fiancé, and I know exactly what he's like. He’s a jerk. This poor waitress is just one of his many victims," Lisa said.Agnes shot Lisa a disdainful look. How dare she call her new boss a jerk! Should she shove a stack of tissues into Lisa's mouth?For now, Agnes chose to hold back. After all, she didn’t yet know what kind of person her new boss was. It was possible that he disliked employees who couldn’t maintain their professionalism.At this point, she noticed that Scott's suit and shirt were slightly damp and stained red.

    “Fight you?”Scott turned his body 90 degrees, looking at Flinch with one eyebrow raised.“Yes, fight me like a real man. No weapons. Just bare hands,” Flinch replied, starting to stretch his shoulders and arms.“I saw you take down some of my men easily earlier. Well, that’s impressive, but my level is several times higher than theirs. After all, I’m one of the most powerful mafia bosses in this city,” he added.A mocking smile appeared on Scott’s face. Flinch responded by tilting his chin up and smirking arrogantly, saying, “Don’t tell me you’re scared, Scott.”Scott narrowed his eyes. He turned his body again, now fully facing Flinch.“You said if I win, you’ll back off and call me ‘Boss.’ Does that mean your position as the leader of your mafia organization will be replaced by me?” Scott asked.“Yes, you could interpret it that way. But if I win, you’ll have to join us and become my subordinate,” Flinch said.Scott stopped narrowing his eyes. The mocking smile returned to his face

    Scott didn’t stop walking even though Flinch was pointing a gun at him. Aside from a few furrows in his brow, his expression remained unchanged. His steps were still firm and confident, as if he were absolutely certain he could take down Flinch and his men.The challenging attitude Scott displayed left Flinch’s men confused. On one hand, they really wanted to shoot Scott or at least land a kick or punch on him, but Flinch’s earlier order was crystal clear: they were forbidden from shooting Scott.Flinch noticed his men’s confusion. Finally, with a wave of his free hand, he signaled for his men to make way for Scott.'Let Scott approach him.' That was the message conveyed by his gaze.Scott continued walking forward through the path created by Flinch’s men. At a glance, Bianca noticed that Scott wasn’t just mysterious but also charismatic.There was a certain aura radiating from Scott. She couldn’t quite explain it, but this aura made the people around him, who were watching him, want

  • Scott vs. Flinch, Direct Contact

    A black SUV with bulletproof armor and windows sped down the highway. The vehicle was escorted by several other cars in front and behind it. There were also motorcyclists clearing the way, ensuring the convoy reached the Dark Eyes bar without any obstacles. Inside the black SUV were Flinch and Bianca.“What’s the meaning of all this, Bianca? You didn’t tell me the situation was this serious,” Flinch complained, glaring at Bianca angrily.Bianca turned her face away, unable to meet her uncle’s furious gaze. Honestly, she was also shocked, never expecting the situation at her bar to escalate to this level.About an hour ago, at Bianca’s request, Flinch had sent his men to Dark Eyes. Bianca met them and explained what they needed to do about Scott, who was her target. Suddenly, as Flinch’s men were about to leave, a large group of armed individuals arrived.A shootout broke out. The situation quickly escalated, destroying facilities at Dark Eyes and causing customers to flee. Bianca hers

    It wasn’t just Helena and Oscar who were stunned by Scott’s sudden appearance; Barn and Donald were too. For a moment, Donald even forgot about the gunshot wound in his left thigh.Scott stepped forward, as if dragging his terrifying black aura with him. Helena gritted her teeth. She desperately wanted to pull the trigger, but her finger wouldn’t move. The cold filling the room seemed to have frozen her in place.“AAAAAAAAA!!!!”The scream came from Oscar. Scott stopped in his tracks. He saw Oscar forcing himself to move. Now, Oscar aimed his rifle at Scott.“Let me handle him. You take them!” Oscar said to Helena.“Are you sure you can take him on alone?” Helena asked, looking at Oscar doubtfully.“Don’t underestimate me. After all, I’m one of Mr. Big’s strongest soldiers. Just get them out of here!”Helena looked back at Scott, meeting his cold gaze. “Alright,” she said. “Cripple him if you can, but don’t kill him.”There was no further response from Oscar, but he smirked briefly.

  • Scott Arrived At The Bar

    At the Dark Eyes bar...Barn and the secret agents under his command were caught in an endless firefight. Somehow, they had become the targets of the people who were originally in conflict there. Slowly, Barn and Donald began to suspect that the shootout and chaos at the bar were a trap. Someone had deliberately lit the fuse to lure them here.“Sir, we really need backup,” Donald said after firing a shot and ducking back behind a wall.Barn was beside him, having just done the same. Instead of responding, Barn checked his watch. Fifteen minutes had passed. The reinforcements he’d requested should be arriving soon.Bang! Bang! Bang!A barrage of gunfire was directed at them, tearing through the wall and leaving cracks. The two exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and then returned fire with their own volley.Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!“Agh!”“Ugh!”Thankfully, this time their shots hit their marks; two of their opponents fell to the ground. But it was too early to feel relieved. A

    At the secret facility in the northern part of Nortwold...Scott had just finished talking to Eva. He let out a sigh. Eva had asked him when he planned to return home because Luisa kept asking about it. Reluctantly, Scott told Eva that he still needed more time to finish his business in Nortwold and asked her to stay with Luisa until he returned. Eva agreed to Scott’s sudden request but asked him to call Luisa and explain the situation when he had a moment.It was getting late. Thinking about it, he had been away from home for quite a while. He had sent Luisa a brief message during his trip, but there had been no reply. He tried to picture Luisa and imagined her glaring at him angrily.Scott blinked. He could think about that later. Right now, he needed to focus on dealing with Josh.Scott turned his attention to the two women in the room with him. Erica and Kim seemed to be discussing something seriously. Their voices were low, and their expressions were tense. When they looked at Sc

    Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door from the outside, and it opened. Erica returned, accompanied by a woman with clear-framed glasses.“Sir, I’ve brought Kim,” Erica said.Barn and Donald turned toward the door simultaneously. Seeing their expressions, Erica immediately understood that something bad had just happened.“Come in, Kim. Sit here,” Barn said as he stood up.Kim looked a little confused but sat down in the chair Barn had just vacated.“Do you know what you need to do, Kim?” Barn asked.Kim was about to answer, but Erica cut in, “I’ve already explained it to her, sir.”“Good,” Barn nodded, then turned to Scott with a cold stare. “Mr. Scott, she will help you. I have things to do. We’ll continue our conversation later.”Scott didn’t respond. He just furrowed his brow and raised an eyebrow.Barn turned around and, accompanied by Donald, left the room. As they walked down the hallway, Barn said to Donald, “Dig deeper into his connections with the military. I want to know

  • I'm The War God

    At a secret facility in the northern part of Nortwold...Donald and Erica had brought Scott to the underground level and were now leading him into a room that resembled an interrogation room.There was a single table in the room, with only two chairs. A large one-way mirror was installed on the wall, allowing those outside to see inside, while those inside could only see their own reflections when looking at the mirror.“Please have a seat. We need you to wait here,” Donald said, pointing to the table with the two chairs.“One of you isn’t joining me? Didn’t you say you wanted to know how you could help me?” Scott asked as he pulled out a chair and sat down.“Like I said earlier,” Erica replied, “our superior is waiting for you. He’ll be the one speaking with you.”Without glancing at Erica, Scott nodded. He then turned his attention to the one-way mirror. His ears picked up the faint sound of footsteps.“Is that him? Does your superior have the build of a bodybuilder?” Scott asked.D

    Scott frowned. He studied the man named Donald who had spoken to him, as well as the woman beside him.“Secret Agent?” Scott asked after Donald tucked his ID and badge back into the inner pocket of his coat. “You have business with me?”“Yes. We’re asking you to come with us right now. Leave your car here. We’ll send someone to take care of it later,” Donald replied.“Are you sure you’ve got the right guy?” Scott asked again, smirking mockingly.“You’re Scott Goodman, aren’t you? Just come with us, get in the car. We’re gonna take you somewhere safe before bad things happen,” the woman interjected.Scott looked at her. “Bad things? Like what?”The woman glared at Scott, annoyed. She opened her mouth to respond to Scott’s mocking question, but Donald cut her off.“This city has dangers you might not be aware of. We’ve been sent by our superior to pick you up, ensure your safety, and bring you to our headquarters. Trust me, this city isn’t as calm as it seems. Threats can appear out of
