2024-08-19 07:40:48Scott 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 something," the receptionist said, turning her attention to the computer monitor on her desk.
"Luisa, right? The new girl?" she asked after a moment.
"Yes, that's right. Where is she now?" Scott asked, his pupils dilating.
The receptionist gave him a strange look, scanning Scott from head to toe.
"You can't see Luisa today. Come back tomorrow or the day after," she said.
"What do you mean?" Scott asked, his tone rising.
The receptionist flinched momentarily, then glared at Scott and raised her voice in return, "She's with five of our VVIP clients. Someone like you has no chance of seeing her today. And even if you come back tomorrow or the day after, you'll probably be competing with hundreds of wealthier men. Why don't you just bury this wish of yours?"
Scott's chest heaved with restrained anger. He snorted, then said coldly, "Where is Luisa now? Which room is she in?"
"Ha! Still hoping, huh? You really don’t know your place. You're like a frog dreaming of the moon—"
"Just tell me which room she's in!" Scott snapped.
The receptionist was taken aback. She froze for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Second floor."
Scott clicked his tongue in frustration. The woman had given him the floor number instead of the room number. But no matter. He no longer relied on her. He looked around until he spotted a spiral staircase leading to the second floor.
He left the reception desk without a word and sprinted toward the stairs.
"Hey, hey! Where the hell do you think you're going? Stop right there!" the receptionist shouted.
Of course, Scott ignored her, continuing to run up the steps.
Gillian, the receptionist, clicked her tongue in irritation and picked up the phone to call security.
Meanwhile, on the second floor, Scott looked around again, wondering which room Luisa might be in.
He wandered back and forth until he saw something suspicious.
At the end of one hallway, a group of men were gathered. All of them were men.
Scott's instincts drove him to approach them.
Noticing Scott's arrival and his commanding presence, a few of the men turned toward him and blocked his path.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" asked one of them, a bald man.
"Turn around and leave before you regret it," threatened the man next to the bald one.
Scott glanced briefly to check the room number they seemed to be guarding—213. Their behavior made him even more suspicious. He continued to walk while sharpening his hearing.
At this point, he heard a scream, loud and long.
From the sound, it seemed to be a woman. And it came from room 213.
Some of the men guarding the room were startled by the scream; some focused on Scott but appeared more alert.
"Hey, you! Leave before we beat you up!" the bald man shouted.
At that moment, Scott suddenly vanished from their sight. The next thing they knew, they were thrown against the walls. His friends experienced the same fate.
'What just happened?' the bald man thought. He tried to get up but was held back by coughing and spitting blood.
Meanwhile, Scott was now inside the room.
He had just kicked the door open, startling the pot-bellied man and four other men in the room.
Scott glanced at them sternly, then turned his gaze to a girl lying on the floor with blood on her forehead. He quickly approached her and checked her condition.
'Thank God she's still alive!' Scott thought after confirming that she was still breathing and her pulse was normal.
Scott then looked at the girl's face. Truly beautiful. Her skin wasn’t just white but also smooth, like porcelain.
The only blemish on her face was the gash on her forehead, right next to the tattoo of the letters "RV."
'Hold on! I’ll get you out of this filthy place!' Scott thought to himself.
"Hey, who are you? How dare you interrupt my special moment! Get your hands off her!" the pot-bellied man yelled.
Scott slowly turned and gave the pot-bellied man a fierce look. The pot-bellied man recoiled. For a moment, fear was evident in his eyes.
"Hey, I know who he is! He's that pathetic loser who was willing to marry Lisa Grandier. Yeah, I'm sure that's him!"
"Ah, right. His face matches the one I've seen on social media."
"Scott Goodman. That's his name, right? What's he doing here?"
"Probably looking for a whore to sleep with. What else?"
That was how the other four men in the room commented. For the past week leading up to the wedding, people had been gossiping about Scott, whom they considered shameless and pathetic. Scott's photos, taken secretly, were spread online with captions degrading his dignity as a human being.
"Oh, so you're that miserable poor guy? Why are you here? Isn't this your wedding day? You visit a brothel on your wedding day? Incredible! You're even more despicable than me! Hahaha..."
The pot-bellied man said it proudly, something that sounded odd to Scott because what he was proud of was his despicableness.
Scott couldn't take it anymore. Carefully, he laid Luisa back down, then stood and faced them.
"Are you the five men who bid the highest for this innocent girl during the auction?" Scott asked coldly.
"So what if we are? You want to enjoy her too?" the pot-bellied man mocked, chuckling. "Don't dream! Only the five of us can enjoy her body today. Do you understand?!"
The four other men behind the pot-bellied man smiled arrogantly, lifting their chins, thinking the situation was under their control.
And their confidence increased when the men who had been guarding the door rushed in.
"Bastard! You'll pay for what you did to us!" the bald man shouted, fury blazing in his eyes.
Scott glanced at them sharply, simultaneously releasing a bit of his warrior's aura as his killing intent rose.
"What are you waiting for? Beat him up!" the pot-bellied man ordered.
Instantly, the bald man and his friends drew their weapons: knives, machetes, axes, and more.
"Die!!!" the bald man screamed, charging at Scott along with his friends.
The pot-bellied man smirked, as did the four men behind him, thinking their men would beat Scott to a pulp, if not kill him outright.
However...
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Scott easily took them all down, just like before, without a single scratch on his body.
The pot-bellied man gasped, reflexively stepping back two steps. The four men behind him, who had been sitting, immediately stood up, gaping in shock.
Slowly, Scott fixed his gaze on them and said coldly, "Now, it's your turn."

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

“Get your hands off me!” Scott snapped, shaking off James’s grip on his shirt with a quick flick.“Ouch!”James yelped, shaking his right hand as if it were stinging. 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. Earlier, they thought Scott was being disrespectful to Quint because he didn’t know who he was dealing with. But just now, when Scott sho

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’

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

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.

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.

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
Hunting Time
Scott stood on the balcony of his room, watching Eva ride her motorcycle out of the villa.The sunlight warmed him, spreading a comforting heat throughout his body. The occasional breeze brushed past, but it wasn’t cold.At the moment, Luisa was in the bathroom. Scott had a white towel wrapped around his waist, covering his hips, buttocks, and thighs. He planned to shower after his wife was done.*Bzz! Bzz!*His phone vibrated. Scott stepped inside briefly to grab his phone, then returned to the balcony. He read the chat message Zach had just sent. Frown lines appeared on his forehead.Scott decided to call Zach. Zach picked up after the first ring."Have you found out who he asked for help?"*[Yes, General, but we still need to confirm a few things. 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
Scott's Secret Plan
“Luisa, you…”“Help me, Scott. Help me get rid of this discomfort.”Scott gazed deeply into his wife’s eyes. Was Luisa asking him relieve her discomfort by having sex? That was what she meant?Well, it wasn’t out of the question. In many cases, for some people, intimate physical communication could help them alleviate stress, make them relax, because this sexual activity stimulates the massive production of endorphins. But, he hadn’t come home with that intention. Purely, he was only worried about his wife’s health.But on the other hand, he felt guilty for having made her feel uncomfortable. And because he had to be responsible for that, the option she presented became more and more reasonable. And wouldn’t it be very disappointing if he chose to reject that option?“Do it. Do whatever you want with my body. Make me feel comfortable again,” Luisa asked.Scott swallowed. His left hand began to massage Luisa’s breasts, slowly at first, then when Luisa responded by closing her eyes
I Didn't Mean To Hurt You
"What’s wrong, my love? Were you crying earlier?" Scott asked, gently touching Luisa’s shoulder.Luisa didn’t answer. Her eyes were still fixed on the curtain-covered window."Answer me, Scott. What did you just do? Did you do something really bad?" Luisa asked.Scott sighed. It seemed he had no choice but to honestly explain what he had just done. Seeing the sadness in Luisa’s eyes and expression made his heart ache."I... I just finished my business. I thought I told you that before I left. Right?" Scott said.This time, Luisa glanced at him. She also stopped lying on her side, now lying on her back with her eyes fixed on Scott."What exactly did you just do?" Luisa asked again."I... I broke someone’s arms," Scott admitted."Who? Whose arms did you break?""Lucas."Luisa’s eyes widened slightly. Her pupils dilated."You mean my brother?" she asked."Yes," Scott answered. "Honestly, the person I really wanted to break was Daniel, your arrogant and cruel father. Why I ended up doing

Right after Lucas let out a loud, agonizing scream, he passed out. Scott released his grip, and Lucas collapsed face-first onto the ground.Jacob and Barnie were frozen in place, their faces ghostly pale. Even Olivia, who had been indifferent earlier, was now visibly shaken. Her legs trembled, and her shoulders quivered uncontrollably.And what about Daniel?He stood there, mouth agape, eyes wide open. Though no words came out, it was clear he was just as shaken as his wife.Scott turned his sharp, cold gaze back to Daniel and said, "You might think Lucas’s hands can still be saved if you rush him to the hospital. Unfortunately, you’re wrong. I didn’t just break the bones in his arms—I crushed them. Lucas will spend the rest of his life unable to use his hands. And don’t blame me. Blame yourself. This was your decision."After delivering those words, Scott turned on his heel and walked back to his car. He left, leaving Daniel and his family in a suffocating silence. Their eyes were al

Lucas confronted him, his voice trembling despite his attempt to sound fierce.Scott turned to Lucas, noticing the eldest son of Daniel glaring at him, trying to appear intimidating. But Scott could see the faint tremble in his legs."Get the hell out of here, Scott! You're not welcome here!" Jacob shouted, trying to sound bold.Scott chuckled in response. He didn’t even bother to look at Jacob or Barnie, who stood to his left."You’re saying *I’m* the one ruining your lives? That’s rich. It’s *you* who’ve been messing with *my* life. You keep trying to provoke me, and you put my wife, Luisa, in danger!" Scott snapped.Fear instantly washed over the faces of Daniel’s sons.
