Seeing Steve enter the room with a furious expression, Briton wasn’t worried—in fact, he smiled. He assumed Steve was on his side. After all, Winterbourne Group had maintained a strong partnership with Dominion Group for years, and Briton was certain that relationship still held strong.

“What’s going on here? How could an auction that’s supposed to be classy and elegant turn into such a mess? Why is there a table flipped over? And what was that sound I heard earlier? A gunshot?” Steve demanded as he walked toward the crowd.

The guests quickly made way for Steve. Even though he wasn’t from one of the wealthiest families in Mildenbrough, his position as CEO of Dominion Group commanded respect and fear from everyone in the city. Even the most powerful families in Mildenbrough wouldn’t dare cross him.

The only exception was Briton. As the richest man in Mildenbrough, Briton never saw himself as beneath Steve. The only person he considered his equal was Dominion Group’s Chairman.

    Scott turned to her and said, "If the CEO of Dominion Group says so, then he must be here with us." Luisa covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes widening. "I... I’m embarrassed, Scott. That means he saw how people ridiculed and insulted me earlier," she said. Scott gave her a soft smile, his gaze warm and reassuring. "Don’t worry about that," he said. "Whatever those fools said about you, it doesn’t lessen your value in the eyes of the new chairman of Dominion Group. Trust me, okay?" Luisa nodded, still feeling unsure but choosing to believe Scott. After all, everything he had said so far had been spot on, including the prediction that Winterbourne Group would lose the bid for Dominion Group’s prestigious project. With Scott by her side, standing up for her like this, Luisa found herself feeling safe. While Luisa was calming down, Briton was growing increasingly anxious. After hearing Steve confirm that the new chairman of Dominion Group was indeed in the room, his eyes

    Lisa was one of the curious ones. Threatened by the possibility of losing out on projects from James, she began considering an alternative approach: getting close to this new project director. Maybe she could use her seductive body to sway him/her in her favor.At this point, Steve locked eyes with Luisa and gave a single nod, a clear signal for her to step up to the podium.Luisa was stunned. She never expected the CEO to give her such an honorable spotlight. Was this normal? And wasn’t she still in the dark about who had won the Dominion Group’s project tender?“Go on, step up,” Scott urged gently, giving her a light push on the back.With hesitant steps, Luisa moved forward, her head still lowered, unsure of what she was supposed to say.Nearly everyone in the room, including Lisa, stared at her in shock. Then, almost by instinct, Lisa cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted:"Hey, you slut! Know your place and get out of here! You belong in some filthy brothel, not here!"Li

    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

  • Final Warning

    1 AM, at the small family residence of Daniel Grandier…Knock! Knock! Knock! The bedroom door was suddenly pounded with urgency. Jacob’s voice echoed through the hallway, calling for his father.Olivia woke up first. She shook Daniel awake, then got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened it.“Mom!” Jacob looked panicked. Even in the cold of the early morning, his face was drenched in sweat.“What’s wrong?” Olivia asked, her tone sharp. “You know you’re not supposed to disturb us like this.”“I’m sorry, Mom. But there are soldiers here.”“What? Soldiers?”“Yes, Mom. They forced their way in. They said they need to talk to Dad.”By this point, Daniel had already sat up in bed. He wasn’t fully awake yet, but he was alert enough to hear and process what Jacob was saying.“Soldiers are here for me?” Daniel asked, his voice groggy.“Yes, Dad. They’re in the living room right now,” Jacob replied.“Why are they looking for me? What do they want to talk about?”Jacob shrugged. “They’re wa

  • All of You, Disperse!

    Josh’s face turned a deep, unnatural red—far redder than before. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes bulged as if they might pop out of their sockets.“Time’s up. It’s time you answer for everything you’ve done,” Scott said, planting his right foot firmly on Josh’s chest.When he’d slammed Josh to the ground earlier, he’d only used a fraction of his strength. If he’d used even a fifth of his power, Josh would already be holding onto his last breath.“Who sent you? Who told you to mess with my life? Answer me!” Scott demanded, pressing the tip of his shoe harder into Josh’s chest, eliciting a pained groan.Scott knew there was someone else behind this. Even though the information from Mr. Big and Colonel Fritz suggested Josh was the mastermind, his instincts told him Josh was acting under external pressure. He wouldn’t have done all this without someone pushing him.The question was, who was that person?“Answer me, now!” Scott barked, increasing the pressure on J

  • Waiting For Backup?

    Josh tried to stay calm, masking the anxiety and fear bubbling beneath the surface. Unlike Mr. Big or Flinch, Josh wasn’t a fighter. He probably couldn’t even take down one of Flinch’s men in a brawl, let alone stand a chance against Scott, even if the attack was light.But he wasn’t giving up. His mind raced. He pulled out his phone and held it to his right ear.“You guys still in Mildenbrough, right? Get ready. When I give the signal, storm the villa where Scott Goodman’s wife is staying. This time, you’re free to do whatever you want to her. I’m giving you permission.”At the mention of his wife, Scott froze mid-step. His eyes widened, his fists clenched, and his jaw tightened.Seeing his tactic work, Josh lowered the phone and flashed Scott a mocking smile.“You hear that, Scott? All it takes is one signal from me, and your beloved wife will be in danger again. And this time, you won’t be there to save her,” Josh said, his lips curling into a sly grin.Scott narrowed his eyes, try

  • An Ugly Brawl

    Scott took a deep breath and held it for a moment. It wasn’t because he was tempted by desire—it was because he was furious. Bianca had crossed the red line he’d drawn, and she’d crossed it hard.*Bzz! Bzz!*His phone vibrated. It was sitting to Bianca’s left, the screen lighting up. Flinch’s name flashed across the display.Scott snatched the phone and slid off the bed. He answered the call as he walked toward the sink.“He’s shown up?” Scott asked immediately.*[Yeah, Josh finally made an appearance. One of my guys just called it in.]*“Where is he now?”*[The Blue Line. That famous nightclub in east Nortwold. My guy said he showed up there with a bunch of muscle-bound dudes. Still not clear who they are.]*“I’m on my way.”*[You need me there too?]*“Up to you. Just make sure your guys keep him there. Don’t let him slip away again.”*[Got it, got it. I’ll tell them. Btw…]*Scott was about to end the call, but Flinch clearly hesitated. There was something else he wanted to say.“Wha

  • Bianca's Extra Services

    Bianca led Scott to a room on the third floor, pushing open the door and stepping inside. She held the door open with her hand, giving Scott a provocative look."You’re not going to come in? Didn’t you need some rest?" she teased, running a hand through her hair, letting it cascade down her shoulders.Scott glared at her, already fed up after less than ten minutes. He wanted to spit in her face.He stepped inside the room. Bianca showed him the amenities, explaining that her uncle, Flinch, had informed her that Scott didn't want to be disturbed while he was in the room. Scott just nodded, keeping silent. He noticed she would occasionally glance at him, deliberately exposing the deep cleavage of her dress.“If you need anything, just call the front desk," Bianca said, pointing to the white phone on the nightstand.“Or, just call me,” she added, making a mock phone call motion with her hand, her gaze fixed on Scott, raising an eyebrow.She pulled a small piece of paper from the plung

  • Leave It To Me

    Flinch and his crew had just finished cleaning up the Black Wolves' outer perimeter. With the tanks now inside, Fritz's remaining forces were no match for the relentless coordinated attack. Flinch grinned, enjoying the sweet taste of victory. This was his first major triumph against the military.Several times during the battle, Flinch had heard explosions echoing from inside the headquarters. He had no idea what was going on, but he was certain that Scott, operating alone, was handling things in there. Scott would take care of the Black Wolves’ goons and the soldiers. Flinch was certain.He leaned against his car, waiting for Scott’s signal or instructions. He pulled out a cigarette and flicked open his lighter. He lit the end with a quick flick of his wrist, took a deep drag, and blew a plume of smoke into the air.On his third drag, he heard the familiar engine roar. A car was approaching from inside the compound. It was Scott’s black McLaren.Flinch quickly dropped his cigarette,

  • No Exceptions

    The newly arrived tanks essentially obliterated the headquarters of the mafia organization, The Black Wolves, reducing it to rubble. For instance, the two recent shots caused two buildings at different locations to collapse instantly.Scott's attention was diverted to the tanks, allowing Fritz to seize the opportunity. He kicked open the helicopter door and leaped out, rolling several times before getting up and sprinting away.Scott noticed Fritz's actions but only glanced at him, choosing to ignore the escape. He felt the immediate need to deal with the tanks, convinced that the soldiers operating them had more extensive orders than just destroying the place.Scott pulled out his phone and called Flinch. When Flinch answered on the third ring, Scott simply said, "Show time!" confident that Flinch understood the urgency, and then hung up. At that moment, he noticed one of the tank barrels aiming directly at him, locking onto his position.His instincts kicked in. Just as the tank fir

  • Flatten This Place!

    Scott and Fritz locked eyes, their gazes clashing in a silent standoff. The power dynamic was clear, a stark contrast in their postures.Fritz drew his pistol with a flick of his wrist, aiming at Scott through the shattered windshield of the helicopter."Bang!”The bullet, fired at point-blank range, was meant for Scott's head. But Scott reacted with lightning speed, ducking to the left, narrowly dodging the projectile. He shot his hand out, catching the smoking barrel before Fritz could pull the trigger again."Crack!"The pistol's barrel crumpled under Scott's crushing grip. Fritz’s eyes widened in disbelief, his hand instinctively yanking back from the mangled weapon.“Smack!"The pistol clattered onto the floor, replaced by Scott's iron grip around Fritz’s throat. The air vanished from Fritz’s lungs, his face turning crimson, his eyes bulging. Though he struggled with all his might, he couldn't break free. In that instant, Fritz realized he had grossly misjudged Scott's strength.

  • Scott vs. Helicopters

    In one of the helicopters flying low over The Black Wolves' headquarters, Colonel Fritz sat and observed the situation below through a pair of binoculars borrowed from one of his men. He watched the raging flames and thick black smoke rising into the sky. He felt a surge of excitement.Honestly, this was a moment he had been waiting for a long time. Although he had facilitated the meeting between Mr. Big and Josh and had asked Mr. Big to help Josh eliminate Scott, he had never truly considered Mr. Big an ally.Both then and now, Mr. Big had been an antagonist in his life. Destroying a high-profile criminal like Mr. Big would be a milestone in his military career. He could claim that he had orchestrated everything to take down the most feared mafia organization in Nortwold right at their headquarters. Once the rumors spread, it would only be a matter of time before all the mafia organizations in the city bowed to him.And now, he smiled. It was a subtle smile on the outside, but inside
