"I'm busy tonight. Let's talk tomorrow. Meet me at Crystal Belle Bridal around 1 PM."[Understood, General.]Scott ended the call and placed his phone on the car's dashboard."What is it, Scott? Is there a problem?" Luisa asked, looking at Scott with concern."Nothing," Scott said, shaking his head with a smile."You sure?""Yeah."Luisa eyed Scott suspiciously. He smiled again and turned his gaze back to the road. In his mind, he tried to guess what sensitive information Zach would share tomorrow.There were many people he had killed while avenging his grandfather's death. Among them, some had families or relatives whom Scott hadn't eliminated for one reason or another.Scott suspected the sensitive information Zach mentioned was related to one of those people.And of course, Luisa shouldn’t know anything about this. Scott had to keep everything related to his past away from her....The next day, just after lunchtime...Scott and Luisa had just arrived at Crystal Belle Bridal, one o
Matt tumbled backward, blood streaming from his nose.Ursula screamed hysterically. Luisa and the store clerk gasped, covering their mouths with their hands."How dare you call my fiancée a 'whore'! Say it again, and I'll rip your tongue out!" Scott threatened.Matt gasped. For some reason, Scott seemed terrifying right now, even appearing larger than life."Matt, are you okay?"Ursula rushed to Matt, squatting down to give him a handkerchief, instructing him to press it against his nose.Then she glared at Scott with rage, saying, "Do you know who you just punched, huh?! He's the son of an active military general!"Hearing Ursula mention his father, Matt shook off his earlier sense of inferiority. He wiped the blood from his nose and mouth with the handkerchief and said,"Yeah, my father is a high-ranking, strategic military general. I'll call him and have his men come here to teach you a lesson. You're dead, son-of-a-bitch!"Scott remained silent, staring at Matt without blinking. U
As the commander of the strongest battalion in Mildenbrough, Zach was both feared and respected by the high-ranking military officers in the city’s other battalions, including Teddy Buckmann.Rumors abounded that Zach was a strict and unwavering leader, known for his ruthless treatment of those who crossed him.Teddy Buckmann wasn’t about to risk his flourishing military career. In moments like these, he needed to be clever. Refusing Zach’s demands was not an option.“Understood, Lieutenant General Zach. I’ll cancel the credit card my son uses. I’ll also block his access to my wealth. Hopefully, this will earn your forgiveness for my earlier insolence,” Teddy said.[Good. Do it now.]“Yes, sir.”Zach ended the call and tossed the phone back to its owner.Matt leaned forward slightly to retrieve his phone, disappointment etched on his face as he missed the chance to ask his father what had transpired. He now stared at Zach with apprehension.“What else do you have to boast about, you b
“What the hell are you waiting for, you bastards?! Shoot this phony soldier now!” Matt shouted, hoping he could incite the soldiers his father had sent.“Captain, your orders?!” the soldier next to Ernest demanded.Ernest and Zach had been locked in a stare for nearly a minute. He knew he had to make a decision now.“Lower your weapons! We’re leaving!” Ernest finally commanded.The soldier next to him and the others looked shocked, but they obeyed Ernest without question.Without another word, Ernest turned on his heel and left the room. The other soldiers followed him.Matt stood there, dumbfounded, unable to believe that his father’s men had just ignored him. This was the first time one of his commands had been disobeyed, and it left him shaken.“Y-y-you...” he stammered.He was so shaken that it was all he could manage to say.“So, what now? Got any more tricks up your sleeve?” Zach mocked, flashing Matt a condescending smile.Matt stared at Zach, his mouth open and his hands tremb
Scott had completed the purchase of the $55 million wedding dress. Now, he was sitting on the sofa in the room, waiting for Luisa, who was trying on the wedding dress. If the fit was slightly off, the boutique staffs would take care of it.There were no issues with the purchase process itself, but the behavior of the saleswoman made him frown.Earlier, several times, the ponytailed woman seemed to lean in deliberately and, for some reason, she had left the top three buttons of her uniform shirt undone.Scott could see the saleswoman’s cleavage, though he quickly averted his gaze. He remembered that when Matt and Ursula were around, the saleswoman had only left the top button of her uniform undone.Not wanting to dwell on it, Scott picked up a fashion magazine from the table and flipped through the pages, hoping to find something to read.Before he could start, the ponytailed woman approached him.“Mr. Scott, would you like me to get you some coffee or tea?” she asked.Scott turned to
The mysterious motorcyclist stopped by the Knockout Club, a boxing gym on the outskirts of town.It turned out she was a woman. This became clear once she removed her helmet and unzipped her leather jacket.With masculine strides, the woman walked into the gym. A burly man in a singlet greeted her with a nod and raised eyebrows, signaling that she was a familiar face there."Hey, Eva? Looks like your boobs have gotten even bigger," said a bald man with a scar crossing his left cheek, leering.Eva shot him a scornful glance and retorted sharply, "You’re looking uglier, Carl."Carl, the bald man, grinned as he lifted a ten-kilogram dumbbell with one hand, his biceps and triceps clearly defined.Ignoring Carl’s show of muscle, Eva continued to the women's locker room. She opened her locker and hung her leather jacket inside. She also took off her black jeans, revealing her long, smooth legs.Finally, she removed her black t-shirt, her ample boobs jiggling slightly for a couple of seconds
Carl and his friends were stunned. What had just happened also caught the attention of the other men there.Who would have thought that someone with such a lean build could easily take down one of the biggest guys present?“Now, tell me everything you know about Eva Clattenburg,” Scott said, straightening the folds in his shirt and jeans.Scott's casual demeanor made Carl furious. He snorted, then snapped his fingers again.As if snapping out of a trance, the big men surrounding Scott glared at him angrily; this time, several of them attacked at once.Scott sighed, irritated by their stubbornness. Moments later...Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!Three more big men were thrown in different directions; two others stumbled and fell.Only three were left, but they had lost the nerve to attack Scott. Scott ignored them. He walked straight toward Carl, staring at him like a tiger ready to pounce on its prey.“Motherfucker!!” Carl cursed, throwing a punch aimed at Scott's jaw.Seeing Carl's la
Scott deftly maneuvered his black McLaren through the traffic. Shifting gears, he floored the gas pedal, leaving the other vehicles behind.His face reflected his anxiety. What had happened at the villa? Was Luisa in trouble? Questions swirled in his mind as he called Zach and put the phone on speaker.[Yes, General?]"Zach, send a few of your men to my villa in Oval Enclave right now. I suspect something’s wrong there."[Right away, General?]"Yes. Make sure they’re fully armed."[Got it, General. I’ll send two teams immediately.]Scott ended the call and tried calling Luisa. The call connected, but she didn’t answer.His worry deepened. He pressed the accelerator harder, pushing the McLaren to its limits.A traffic cop, lounging in his patrol car, was startled by Scott's speed. He shook his partner awake, who had been napping with his hat covering his face.“What’s wrong?” asked the awakened cop.“Look! That car’s way over the speed limit!” replied the other, pointing to the speed g
