Lisa and her family gasped. They exchanged glances before turning back to Scott.
“How do you know about Luisa?” Lisa asked.
Scott shot a disdainful look at his former fiancée. Instead of answering, he posed another question:” What did Luisa ever do to you that made you sell her to a brothel? Are all of you truly that heartless?”
“Hey, watch your mouth, bastard! You‘re an outsider. You have no right to speak to us like that in our own home!” Jacob snapped, pointing his finger aggressively at Scott.
“Jacob’s right! You‘re just an outsider trying to leech off the Wiguna family’s wealth! You better shut your filthy mouth!” Lucas chimed in.
Scott glanced at both of them.” Filthy mouth? Who here really had the filthy mouth?”
“Scott, how do you know about Luisa? Explain! “ Daniel commanded, his stern demeanor returning.
Scott twitched and glared at Daniel with annoyance.” I asked you two questions, and you didn‘t answer either of them. Fine! If you wont tell me anything about Luisa in front of everyone here, I‘ll find out on my own!”
With that, Scott walked away from them, heading toward the wide-open hall entrance.
“Hey, where do you think you’re going? You can’t just leave like that!” Daniel shouted, but Scott ignored him.
“Answer my husband when he speaks to you, you rude hillbilly! You have no manners! “ Olivia yelled after him, but Scott still paid no attention.
With firm steps and without looking back, Scott exited the hall and disappeared from sight. The people in the hall stared at the entrance in confusion, wondering if this meant the wedding they were attending was truly canceled.
Seeing Scott leave, Lombard had no reason to stay. He ordered his men to put the gifts back in their boxes and carry them out.
This threw Lisa and her family into a panic once again. Daniel approached Lombard to try to persuade him.
“Mr. Lombard, please reconsider your decision. The wedding isn‘t canceled; it‘s just postponed. You can leave the gifts here so you won’t have to go through the trouble of bringing them back later, “Daniel said.
Lombard looked at Daniel with disdain. To him, the Wiguna family was just ordinary, and Daniel was nothing more than a disgusting man trying to curry favor with him.
“Mr. Scott clearly asked me to take the gifts back. I will do as he instructed,” Lombard said.
“But, Mr. Lombard…”
“Enough! Stop talking to me! You’re making my mood worse!” Lombard snapped.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense and ominous. People watched Lombard in fear, not knowing what the richest man in Mildenbrough would do if he got angry.
Unsure of what else to say, Daniel closed his mouth tightly. Not wanting to lose the luxurious gifts, Lisa thought quickly and approached James.
“James, please persuade Mr. Lombard not to take the gifts back. You said you‘d try to talk to him, right? “Lisa said.
Daniel and his family turned to James. James hesitated, feeling the sudden pressure.
He remembered well what he had promised, but now, after seeing firsthand how Lombard showed respect to Scott, he wasn’t sure if he had the courage to speak to Lombard, let alone persuade him not to take the gifts back.
Lombard was clearly on Scotts side. Would he even listen to what James had to say?
“Come on, James, help us. Your father is good friends with Mr. Lombard, right? “Olivia urged.
“Ah, yes. Okay, okay, “he finally said, though his face clearly showed he was still doubtful.
He took a deep breath, trying to muster his courage. He then approached Lombard, who was overseeing his men putting the gifts back in their boxes.
“Mr. Lombard, could I ask you not to take the gifts back? “James asked, standing to Lombard’s left.
Lombard turned to him, looking irritated. James‘ courage suddenly dwindled.
“P-please, Mr. Lombard. I-in return... l-later... my father and I will do something for you,” he stammered.
Lombard narrowed his eyes. Lisa and her family watched them anxiously, waiting for Lombard‘s response.
Slap!
Suddenly, Lombard slapped James hard. James staggered, his lip bleeding.
“You’re Rudyard von Drachenbergs son, aren’t you? How dare you ask me to do something for you? Who do you think you are?!” Lombard shouted.
“You might think the Drachenberg family is one of the richest in this city. But to me, you’re nothing. You better know your place! “ he continued.
Silence fell again. Many guests looked away, unable to watch Lombard’s anger.
James himself couldn’t say anything more; he just kept his head down, his legs trembling.
Lisa and her family stood frozen with pale faces. They had just angered the richest man in Mildenbrough. They were doomed!
...
After Lombard and his men left, the tension in the hall finally eased.
Lucas and Jacob approached James, asking if he was okay.
James still looked distressed over what had just happened to him. He felt defeated and humiliated.
“Please forgive us, James. Because we couldn’t control that piece of trash, he did this to your fingers. What a complete bastard!” Daniel exclaimed.
“Yeah, he’s a total scumbag! How dare he lay a finger on a member of the Drachenberg family? His brain must be completely fried! We’re so sorry, James. Please don’t be mad at us.” Olivia added.
They felt the need to say this to ensure James would still want to maintain a good relationship with the Grandier family, even though Scott had hurt him.
It was crucial for them because they needed the financial support and connections that James and his father could provide.
One of the key opportunities was access to the prestigious Dominion Group tender auction happening tomorrow. The Grandier family wasn’t invited, but if James, representing the Drachenberg family, brought them along, they could at least be present.
They believed that the prestigious project tender would be won by the Winterbourne family, the wealthiest in Mildenbrough. James, who was rumored to have a close relationship with the Winterbourne’s only child, was expected to receive a share of the projects from them.
Daniel and his small family could also benefit if James were generous enough to include them. If that happened, their standing with the extended family would rise dramatically.
It was quite possible they would be entrusted with more responsibilities in managing Grandier Corp., the Grandier family’s company, something they had been expecting for years.
Apart from that, the event would be attended by representatives from the other three powerful conglomerate families in Mildenbrough: the Beaumonts, the Vanderhelms, and the Ravenwoods.
Those families were leagues above the Drachenbergs. At the auction, if they were lucky enough, they might be able to seize a moment to network and build good relationships with them too.
“It’s okay, Uncle, Aunt. I’m not mad at you. You didn’t do anything wrong, ”James replied, grimacing as he clutched his injured left hand.
“Lucas, Jacob, take James to the hospital right now. Those fingers need to be treated immediately before it’s too late!” Daniel ordered.
“Make sure you stay with James at the hospital. He might need your help with something. Got it? “ Olivia added.
“Got it, Mom, Dad, “ Lucas replied, while Jacob just nodded.
They carefully lifted James, carrying him out.
“We’ll see you again at the auction tender tomorrow, James,” Daniel called out loudly.
“Don’t worry, we’ll bring Lisa along with us. She will accompany you as your partner, “ he continued.
James turned around, stared at Lisa, finding the woman forcing a smile at him.
Their wild game earlier was unfinished, and now he was no longer in the mood to restart the game.
James would drag Lisa back to the bed when they met again. There, he would fuck her to his heart's content.
...
Meanwhile, about an hour later, in an exclusive brothel in the northern part of Mildenbrough called The Velvet Rose...
People filled the sofas on the first floor where customers drank and waited for their turn to enter a room.
Beautiful, voluptuous women clung seductively to the wealthy, lecherous men.
Everything seemed normal and usual. Yet, about half an hour ago, a special auction had been held there, attended by notable figures from various sectors. During the auction, the brothel appeared far more exclusive than usual.
The auction featured a new arrival at The Velvet Rose, a beautiful woman.
Not only was she as lovely as a princess, but she also had a curvaceous, enticing figure and one more extraordinary feature: she was still a virgin.
Five notable figures participated in the auction, bidding very high prices. The brothel decided that this newcomer would serve them all in turn, with the highest bidder going first.
No doubt, the unfortunate girl being auctioned was Luisa. Now she was in a room on the second floor, curled up in one corner, her porcelain body covered only by lingerie.
A bald, pot-bellied man sat in a wooden chair, staring at her with wild eyes. Four other lecherous men were in the room, waiting for their turn.
"I told you not to resist. I've spent tens of millions of dollars just to sleep with you. You have to let me enjoy every inch of your body until I'm satisfied," the pot-bellied man said.
Luisa didn't respond. She just curled up and sobbed, her face drenched in tears.
"Ugh! You're being troublesome! Don't blame me if I drag you to the bed, you slut! You're really pissing me off!" the pot-bellied man said, standing up and stepping forward.
Luisa looked at the man, her eyes widening. She wanted to stand up and run, but the fear she felt was too overwhelming; she couldn't move her legs.
"Get up! The pot-bellied man grabbed Luisa's long hair and yanked her to her feet.
"Ahh! It hurts!!" Luisa screamed, closing her eyes.
"Shut up and hurry up! You're a whore and I've paid for you!" the pot-bellied man shouted, dragging Luisa roughly to the bed.
"No! Please don't! Don't do this to me!" Luisa cried, tears streaming down her face again.
Of course, the pot-bellied man didn't care, while the other four men smiled and nodded, enjoying the scene.
At the same time, in front of The Velvet Roses gate, a taxi stopped.
The left passenger door of the taxi opened, and a man with a strong aura stepped out.
Yes, it was Scott Goodman. Now he gazed at The Velvet Rose with eyes full of anger.
...

Scott stepped into The Red Velvet, its interior dominated by a vivid red. He glanced around briefly, then approached the receptionist's desk."What do you want?" the receptionist asked curtly, a woman in her mid-twenties with her hair in a ponytail."I'm looking for a woman named Luisa. I heard she's here," Scott said."Luisa?" the receptionist repeated, eyeing Scott suspiciously."Yes. Her name was Luisa Grandier, but maybe she's not using her last name anymore," Scott replied.Based on additional information from Zach during the ride to the brothel, Scott understood that Luisa wasn’t fully accepted as a member of the Grandier family. Unlike Lisa, Olivia's biological daughter, Luisa was an illegitimate child, born from a woman Daniel once kept as a mistress. This fact made Luisa despised by the Grandier family, especially Lisa, who felt threatened by her beauty. Among those who suggested selling Luisa to a brothel, Lisa was one of the most enthusiastic."Wait a moment, let me check

The pot-bellied man and his four lecherous companions were at a loss for words. Beads of sweat dotted their faces. What they had just witnessed was hard to believe. How could Scott by himself defeat all the men who had ganged up on him? Yet, there it was, the undeniable truth standing before them. With a fierce look and eyes blazing, Scott walked towards them."W-wait! Wh-what do you want? Money? I can give you lots of money!" the pot-bellied man stammered, raising one hand in front of him. Scott ignored his offer."Don't want money? O-okay. Then... do you want to enjoy this wench first? That's fine by me, just don't hurt me please... "the pot-bellied man continued. Scott kept walking, but now he seemed visibly irritated by what he had just heard. Then, in the blink of eye... Wham! Ugh! The pot-bellied man suddenly flew to the left, rolling on the floor. Scott had just kicked him square in the waist. The other four men stood wide-eyed and agape. They saw the pot-bell

“Relax, Luisa. You’re safe now. No one’s going to hurt you here,” Scott said as he slowly placed the wet towel back into the basin of warm water he had set on the nightstand.Luisa furrowed her brow. Her eyes darted around wildly, and her hands trembled slightly.Scott guessed that memories of the incident at the brothel were flashing through her mind.“You’re in a villa in the Oval Enclave. I brought you here and treated the wound on your head. You are safe now,” Scott said, smiling gently.Scott noticed a slight change in Luisa’s expression. It wasn’t fear anymore but deep, excruciating sadness.“You brought me here from The Red Velvet? You saved me from…those men?” Luisa asked.“Yes. And I took care of all five of them. Now you can rest easy. No one will ever touch you without your consent again,” Scott replied.Suddenly, Luisa started to cry. Tears streamed down her cheeks.“Why are you crying?” Scott asked, concerned. “What’s making you sad? Shouldn’t you feel relieved right now?

More than one hour later... Scott was in the living room, sitting on the long sofa while watching TV. He held a car key in his hand."Sorry to keep you waiting, Scott."Scott turned and saw Luisa descending the stairs. She looked stunning and elegant in a black knee-length skirt and a gray cardigan over her black top.Scott was mesmerized. He hadn't expected Luisa to be this beautiful. She was even more beautiful than Lisa."It’s okay. What matters is that you’re ready," Scott said.One thing about Luisa's appearance that bothered Scott was the way she carelessly draped her headscarf. He suspected she wore it to cover her forehead.Maybe, unconsciously, she still felt the "RV" tattoo was there. That’s what Scott thought.He understood, though. It would take time for Luisa to adjust to her new self and the life she was beginning to embrace."Let’s go," Scott said, standing up and moving away from the sofa.They then headed to the garage. As the garage door lifted, Luisa was stunned by

Scott turned to see Steve walking toward them, his face annoyed. When Steve recognized the casually dressed man facing away from him as Scott, his expression immediately changed. His eyes widened, and his pupils dilated. Steve had been informed by Lombard that Scott was an extremely powerful man. If he offended Scott or made him uncomfortable, not only would his career as CEO of Dominion Group be over, but his life could be as well. Steve was about to greet Scott with a deep bow when Scott gave him a slight shake of his head. Steve understood. For reasons unknown, Scott didn’t want anyone to know the nature of their relationship. That explained why he was dressed so casually, even though he was at the Dominion Group office. “Mr. Steve!” Wayne called out, pushing Scott aside and stepping forward to approach Steve. Steve was a well-known businessman in Mildenbrough. Many people knew him, including job applicants like the bearded man. Then he added, "It looks like this woman appl

It seemed like Scott's shove had been gentle, yet James felt a sharp twinge in his hand.“You son of a bitch!” James spat.Scott took a step forward, ready to teach James a lesson, but suddenly Lisa splashed wine from her glass directly onto Scott's face.“Watch yourself, Scott! If you hurt James again, I swear I’ll never forgive you for as long as I live!” she exclaimed.Scott wiped the wine from his face with a handkerchief, slowly opening his eyes. He glared coldly at his former fiancée.“Do you think I care? Don’t get ahead of yourself, Lisa. Whether you’re in my life or not means nothing to me,” he said.Lisa's eyes widened in shock.

"And by the way, the villas in the northern part of Oval Enclave are the cheapest among the hundreds of villas in that area. How funny that you brag about it. It just shows how low your standards are. Don’t you realize that?” Scott added, smirking.Lisa’s face flushed red. “Shut up, Scott! What do you know about the villas in Oval Enclave, huh? You might not even get a foot in the door!"“And stop pretending to be someone great! I know your past. You served in the military, but only as a guard for a general. That was your highest rank before you were dishonorably discharged for drinking and gambling.“I also know about the gifts Mr. Lombard brought yesterday. He did that because the general, your former boss, ordered him to, didn’t he? There’s no real connection between you and the general.“Oh, come on, Scott.

WAR GOD'S REVENGE Which Hand Should I Cut Off First?
Indeed, with Luisa bent over like that, Quint had a clear view of her cleavage.Luisa had a slim figure with ample breasts. It must be tempting for someone with a twisted mind like Quint's."Lift your head, beautiful," Quint said, still smiling with a sly grin.Slowly, with a tense face, Luisa straightened up. She glanced at Quint for only a moment before dropping her gaze to her shoes.“You want me to forgive the man behind you?” Quint asked.“Yes, Mr. Quint. Please forgive him just this once,” Luisa replied.“Well, if you want me to forgive him, you’ll have to sleep with me tonight. That’s your only chance,” Quint said.Luisa gasped again, stepping back in shock at Quint’s words. Fortunately, Scott was right behind her and caught her, his eyes locked onto Quint’s. “Get lost, or you'll regret it.” The people in the room were once again stunned.

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
There's Nothing I Can Do
Andrew stared at Scott, filled with confusion. The news about Josh's nightclubs in Nortwold being destroyed by fire was shocking to him. Everyone in Nortwold should know who Josh is. If someone dared to disrupt his business in that city, they must have something extraordinary that made them think they could destroy Josh.And did Scott really have that something extraordinary?Andrew returned to the news that Scott showed him. Was this real? Did Scott really do that shocking thing?"I want to hear your answer," Scott said, lifting his chin just slightly.Andrew looked at Scott again. He did see something different in Scott's gaze. Not only did he see it, but he could also feel it. Scott seemed to radiate something strong and pressing from his body. The aura was so strong."What if I say no?"That's what Andrew finally said, also lifting his chin slightly.The left corner of Scott’s lip lifted slightly. His eyes narrowed. And then, a moment later, when his eyes opened wide again, Andr

The veins in Andre's face stood out. The voice he'd just heard was unfamiliar, but he could feel the immense pressure, as if the air around him had thickened and he was struggling to breathe.'No doubt, he must be the one who brought Josh to this town,' Andrew thought.Josh hadn't told him exactly what he was going through or who he was facing. The only hint Andrew had was that the person was from the military or had strong connections to the military.And witnessing this sudden change in the situation, he was even more certain that his guess was correct. Whoever the person was who’d just spoken to him, their rank and position in the military must be high.“Don’t try to threaten me. You have no idea just how brutal we can be when we have no choice but to fight back,” Andrew said, assertive and aggressive.Andrew hoped his counter-threat would improve his position, but it didn’t seem like it. Scott just chuckled. Andrew could imagine his opponent smirking with sly eyes.[You don’t see
We'll Retreat For Now
A fleet of helicopters flew over the northern area of Mildenbrough. Each carried 5-6 men clad in bulletproof vests and fully armed. The helicopters were jet black, devoid of any markings. Clearly, they didn’t belong to any military unit."Tell the others to speed up," said Andrew, a square-faced man with a darker complexion. He was the one Josh had contacted for help. He was leading this search-and-rescue operation personally.Following Andrew’s orders, the black helicopters accelerated. The sight was startling for drivers on the roads below. However, since the helicopters were flying at a considerable altitude and the details were hard to make out, most assumed it was a military convoy.Andrew didn’t care about the drivers on the roads below. His mind was focused on Josh. He owed Josh a great deal—it was thanks to Josh that he, who had been dishonorably discharged from the military, could continue living without lacking anything. Josh had made him who he was today: the leader of a me
Come In Full Force
The security guard stared intently at the illustration Richard showed him, looking confused, then shook his head."Sorry, sir, but I don’t know who that is. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him," the guard said.Now it was Richard’s turn to look confused. Was the guard hiding information and lying to him? It didn’t seem possible. The guard was under his hypnosis. He should be telling the truth."You don’t know who he is?""No, sir.""You’ve never seen him before?""Never, sir."Richard stared deeply into the guard’s eyes, then nodded. He guessed the guard was a new employee, which was why he might not have seen the man in the illustration on his phone. At least, that was the most plausible explanation he could think of at the moment."Alright. You can return to your post and continue your duties," Richard said."Yes, sir," the guard replied.The guard returned to his post. Richard shifted his gaze to the main building of Dominion Group’s headquarters. Failing to get the information he wan
Did You Sense Something?
As noon approached, Scott’s black McLaren pulled into the military base of Battalion I. Stepping out of the car, he was immediately greeted by Zach’s subordinate and guided to the room where Zach was waiting for him.Upon entering the room, Scott found Josh sitting at a table, his hands cuffed and resting on the surface. Josh looked up at Scott, his expression still arrogant and cunning as ever."Tell me what information you’ve managed to extract from him," Scott said as he walked toward Zach.Zach nodded. He picked up a tablet from the table, swiped through some files, and handed it to Scott once he was close enough.Clearly and firmly, Zach listed the points he had noted from his repeated interrogations of Josh. The fact that Josh was no longer lying in bed with IV tubes attached to his arm showed that the cunning man’s condition had significantly improved.Scott listened carefully to what Zach was explaining. Occasionally, he glanced at Josh, who still dared to meet his gaze despit

I’ll inform you as soon as everything is clear.]*"No clues at all for now?"*[One thing I can say is, the person Josh asked for help isn’t from a mafia organization or the military like before. Josh asked this person to find him.]*Scott
