"Y-you... W-who the hell are you...?" Eva asked as she tried to rise.

Actually, there were other questions she wanted to ask, like how Scott had managed to dodge her lethal shots just now. Scott didn't seem to be hurt at all, as if there was a shield protecting his entire body perfectly.

"Is that important? Do I need to answer that?" Scott countered, halting his steps.

Now Scott stood tall in front of Eva, his fists clenched and his eyes blazing.

Eva had never seen someone with such a terrifying presence before. Not even a large bear she once faced in a forest in northern Japan a few years ago was as terrifying as this.

Eva felt that the figure standing before her now was a monster. And no matter how high her mastery of the martial arts she had studied for five years in Japan and China, she believed that it was all useless now. She had never trained to face a monster.

"W-what are you going to do... to me?" Eva asked again.

Scott squinted his eyes. The way he looked at Eva

    Jared stared at the figure that had just appeared before him. He squinted, surprised to see the guy leap from a third-story window and land without a scratch.Normally, a guy would break a leg, maybe even snap a bone."You Scott Goodman?" Jared asked."Yeah. You got a problem with me?" Scott shot back.Jared’s jaw tightened. Scott's arrogant swagger pissed him off. He pointed the pistol in his hand at Scott."You the one who put my boys down like this? Answer me!" Jared roared.Scott intimidated? Not a chance. He just raised an eyebrow and smirked."Yeah, that was me. What? You want me to beat you up like I beat them?" Scott said."You son of a bitch! How dare you talk to Boss Jared like that!" one of Jared's goons yelled from his left, the guy in the plain t-shirt who had been firing shots into the air.Now, the mobster pointed his rifle at Scott, and the other goons followed suit.Scott locked eyes with him, a wicked smile curling his lips as he tilted his chin."Stop it!

    Three of Jared's men screamed and fell. Two of them were missing a hand, and the other was missing a leg. Their blood was pouring out, pooling on the ground.Jared and his remaining goons instinctively backed away. They stared, disbelieving what they saw. Scott stood tall, holding the chainsaw, now stained with fresh blood."Who's next?" Scott asked coldly, turning his head and slowly pivoting his body.For a moment, Jared saw Scott's eyes flash red. And somehow, he looked bigger, as if a dark light surrounded his body, burning like fire."Boss?" Horn approached Jared, staring at him intensely, urging him to give an order.But Jared ignored him. At this point, he didn't know what order to give. Suddenly, all his arrogance and swagger had vanished. He felt so small in front of Scott."Boss? Give us your order!" Horn urged, still as eager as before; even what he had just seen made him even more eager to beat Scott to death."Shut up, Horn! Shut your fucking mouth!" Jared yelled.Horn st

    Jared immediately answered the call from Eva. Before he could even say anything, Eva said something very quickly, and Jared's expression turned grim.Jared hadn't had a chance to say anything when Eva abruptly ended the call. He took his phone away from his ear and stared at it in bewilderment."You have 10 seconds left," Scott said.Jared looked back at him. That feeling of inferiority hit him again."Boss, your order?" Horn urged, this time pointing the barrel of his rifle at Scott.Jared glared at Horn in annoyance. He felt like he wanted to shoot him."Five... four... three...""Fine! We surrender!" Jared said loudly, cutting off Scott's countdown.Scott stopped counting. Raising an eyebrow and smirking, he asked, "You're surrendering?""Yes. We surrender. I won't order my men to finish you off. Instead, I'll forbid them from touching you. You're free to go now," Jared said.Scott widened his smile. He nodded.Horn reacted differently. He stared at Jared in disbelief again. The ba

    In one of the three-story shophouses in Shadeshide, the red-light district in the heart of Mildenbrough, full of nightclubs and other entertainment venues...A man with a sturdy build was lifting weights in his office. He had left his shirt, tie, and suit jacket on the chair. The laptop on his desk was open, although the screen was black.The man was Keith, CEO of Ravenblade Syndicate, an illegal agency operating in the underworld of Mildenbrough. Many conglomerates and corrupt officials paid for their services to do dirty work, from embezzlement to murder.Bzz! Bzz!Keith stopped lifting weights for a moment and turned to look at the desk. There, his phone vibrated and the screen lit up. An incoming call, from who knows who.Slightly annoyed, Keith put down the 80-kilogram weight he was lifting and got up, moving towards the desk. As he picked up the phone and looked at the screen, he saw Eva's name appear. He furrowed his brow."What's wrong? You have new information about Scott and

    "Eva, what's the meaning of this? Weren't you being held captive?" Gaby asked, ignoring Scott and staring sharply at Eva. She put down the two black suitcases she was carrying."Well, as you can see, I'm not being held captive. I'm not even tied up at all, am I?" Eva replied, showing her hands, which she was free to move as she pleased.Gaby snorted in annoyance, not happy with Eva's answer."You're playing us?" she asked loudly. "Just because you're the Boss's favorite, doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, okay! You spoiled brat!""Just because you have a 'special relationship' with the Boss, doesn't mean you can call me a spoiled brat, okay! You bitch!" Eva countered."Watch your foul mouth, okay! We came all this way to bring you home.""I can go home myself. You don't need to bother coming here.""You!""What? Wanna fight?"Their interaction heated up quickly, a reflection of how bad their relationship had been all this time, even though they were in the same agency.To stop

    Keith was about to lunge forward when suddenly Scott disappeared from his sight. He froze. His eyeballs moved back and forth, but he still couldn't find Scott."Looking for me?"Keith heard the voice very clearly, accompanied by a breath of air behind his ear.His eyes widened. He turned his body while releasing a hard punch, hoping his punch would hit Scott who was behind him. But...Hap!Scott grabbed Keith's hand without appearing to use much force. He stood his ground, giving Keith a condescending look."Come on, Boss. You're not serious at all," Scott mocked, showing a little of his teeth.Keith's eyes widened. He pulled his hand away from Scott's grasp and turned his body in the opposite direction, directing more force as he tried to kick Scott in the head.Hap!Again, Scott blocked Keith's attack with one hand, still with a gesture that showed he was barely using any force at all.Keith was confused by Scott's two identical responses to his attacks. And before he could launch a

Knock!Someone knocked on the door from outside."Who is it?" Daniel asked."Dad, it's me," the knocker replied.Daniel recognized the voice as his eldest son, Lucas. He raised his face and said, "Come in."The door opened. Lucas entered. He immediately approached Lucas, took an empty chair and sat down."What's wrong? Why are you so glum?" Daniel asked."Dad, I smell something bad," Lucas said.Daniel furrowed his brow. "What do you mean? About what?" he asked.Lucas took out his phone, opened the M-banking app and checked the day's transactions, then showed it to Daniel.Daniel took the phone, checking what appeared on the screen. It showed a record of an incoming transaction of $100 million, but the sender was unclear."What is this?" Daniel asked."That's Keith. He transferred back the money we tr

    "Ouch!""You okay?"Scott grabbed the woman’s hand, steadying her so she wouldn’t fall. She clung tightly to his shoulder, her boobs pressing against his back.“What’s going on? What happened?” the woman asked, her voice tinged with panic.“I’m not sure. Maybe a technical glitch,” Scott replied.“Does this happen often here?”“I don’t know. But it shouldn’t take long.”“You sure?”“I hope so.”Scott could still feel the woman’s boobs against his back, creating an awkward sensation. On one hand, he was uncomfortable, remembering he was a married man. On the other, his body was beginning to react.“Oh, I think I twisted my ankle,” the woman said.Scott turned, but he couldn’t see her in the complete darkness of the elevator.“Can you move to my right, against the wall?” he asked.“I think so. Why?”“Just do it. Slowly,” Scott instructed.She followed his directions, her breath catching as she moved, indicating she was feeling some discomfort in her leg.“All set?” Scott asked.“All set,

    At the Battalion I military headquarters in downtown Mildenbrough....In his office, Zach couldn't sit still. He repeatedly stood up, sat down, and stood up again, also pacing back and forth. He was made anxious by Scott's mobile number that suddenly couldn't be reached.'What happened? Maybe his phone ran out of battery? But surely it hasn't been charged for hours? Or maybe he blocked my number? But, why would he do that? Did I do something wrong?'For years, being Scott's right-hand man and trusted person, Zach had always been able to contact him, in the sense that his phone calls always connected and his chat messages always went through. But this time, neither happened. It was only natural that Zach would be restless.This morning, he tried to contact Scott to report the latest situation about their counterattack against Lisa, the mastermind behind the misleading rumors that had caused Scott and him so much trouble. Initially, he tried to call, but his call didn't go through. He t

    It took a few seconds for Lisa to regain her composure and finally dare to ask, "W-what do you mean, Dad?"Lisa's gaze at this time was a combination of confusion and anxiety. Her brothers also looked confused, although they didn't look anxious."Did you not hear my words clearly? I said starting today you are no longer part of this family. You are no longer my daughter," Daniel said.Lisa was no longer as stunned as before, but she was still very shocked. Her eyes blinked while her mouth was open. She couldn't believe her father was making such a painful decision for her, so quickly."B-but, Dad..."Before Lisa could finish what she wanted to say, Daniel suddenly stood up. With his gesture showing that he was the leader among them, he looked at each of his sons one by one and said,"I agree with you. We do have to formulate a plan to deal with this situation, but we'll talk about it tonight at home. Now let's just focus on our work tasks for the whole day. Imprint in your minds that

    It's Getting Worse For Lisa

    As agreed, Scott got out of the car not far from the Dominion Group office. He let Luisa drive his black McLaren, while he himself would take a taxi home later.On the sidewalk where people were passing by, Scott stood watching his black McLaren head towards and enter the Dominion Group office area. After making sure everything was safe, he turned his face, and also his body, towards the road. He felt like he was pretty hungry.Scott was about to look for a cafe or restaurant in the area through his phone, and it was only at this point that he realized his phone wasn't in his pants pocket.'Where's my phone? Did it fall in the car?' he thought.He tried to remember if maybe his phone had fallen out of his pants pocket while he was driving earlier, or when he got out of the car, but he couldn't get a clear picture of either.He then thought, maybe his phone was left at the motel, but he didn't remember if he had put his phone on the bedside table or in another place in the motel room h

    Something Beyond Normal

    Luisa was startled by Lisa's raspy voice, as if she had just been crying all night. But she was even more surprised by what Lisa said. Even though she didn't see Lisa's facial expression and the look in her eyes, she could feel the towering anger that was controlling Lisa.Hearing those words of threat made Luisa uncomfortable. Her hands suddenly trembled and her chest pounded. Finally, she decided to end the call. And, because she was worried that Lisa would call again, she decided to block Lisa's number.Right at that moment, Scott woke up. Slowly, his eyelids opened. Luisa quickly put Scott's phone on the floor, right next to Scott."Luisa? Why are you here?" Scott asked after blinking."Actually, I should be asking you that," Luisa said, smiling wryly. "Come on in. Continue your sleep inside."Luisa stood up first, gesturing for Scott to get up and follow her into the room.Scott quickly got to his feet, worried that Luisa would close the room door like a few hours ago.

    Had Never Been This Chaotic

    Olivia and her three sons were shocked by what Daniel did. They knew Daniel was temperamental and liked to be rough when he was angry, but they didn't expect him to go that far.After all, the one Daniel had just slapped was Lisa, his own daughter. And the slap he had just delivered was very hard. Lisa even tumbled off the sofa, falling under the table."You're not only useless but also stupid! And because of your stupidity, our family is now on the brink! What do you think will happen if we're all fired from Grandier Corp. and crossed out from the family lineage? Where will we get money from then? How can we meet our needs? Have you ever thought about that before executing this bad plan of yours?!"Daniel berated Lisa while leaning forward and yelling at her. His eyeballs looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets.Lisa didn't give any response. She didn't even raise her head and was busy wiping the blood coming from a small cut on the corner of her lip. Her tears flowed

    Lisa's Punishment

    At Daniel's family residence...Almost an hour had passed since the news broadcast about the sudden press conference held by the Mildenbrough Police Department. Right now, all the family members were gathered in the living room. The atmosphere was tense.'This is bad! This is so fucking bad! What are we going to do now?"Daniel asked that question in a high tone, with a flushed face and wide eyes.No one dared to raise their face, let alone look at Daniel. Even his wife, Olivia, chose to remain silent and turn her face away.And among those people, Lisa was the most visibly tense and scared. It was only natural. The misleading rumor about Scott and everything related to him, which had caused a stir throughout the city in the last 24 hours, was her doing. So when the current situation became like this, the person most to blame was Lisa."Why are you just staying silent like fools! Say something, god damn it!" Daniel cursed, almost yelling.His wife and children flinched. But still, the

    Scott sighed wearily. Problem after problem kept hitting him. The night seemed like it would be very long.Just as Scott was about to leave that room to follow Luisa, Anne suddenly grabbed his hand and held him back. Scott turned, finding Anne giving him a very serious look."Scott, there's no guarantee I'll give you another chance besides this. Are you sure you want to waste it?" Anne asked.Scott shook his hand that Anne was holding, then left without saying anything.Anne took a deep breath while watching Scott's back move away and finally disappear. As she exhaled, she vaguely heard the sound of a police siren."Scott Goodman. An interesting man. One day I will surely conquer you. We'll see," Anne muttered, smiling slyly.Meanwhile, on the second floor of the motel...Scott had just stepped on the last step of the stairs and he saw the door of the room he was staying in slammed shut.Scott quickly approached his room, trying to open the door, but it was locked.Knock!

    This Isn't What You Think

    The woman whose hands and feet were tied with ropes to the ends of the bed was Anne. Scott could recognize her that quickly because they had just met this morning."You bastard! You're pretty brave, huh? You think you can push me like that without facing the consequences?"The big-bodied man got to his feet. He snorted while showing off the muscles in his arms, chest, and stomach. It seemed that he was someone who trained in weightlifting quite intensely. Even his wide neck looked stiff and hard.Scott ignored his surprise at seeing Anne there for now. He focused his attention on the big-bodied man and prepared to land a punch on his face.Whoosh!Scott easily dodged the blow, then launched a counterattack, punching the big-bodied man right in the solar plexus."Argh!"The big-bodied man vomited blood, his eyes widened. A moment later, his eyelids closed and he collapsed. Just one punch from Scott was enough to knock him unconscious.Now Scott turned his eyes to the bed, finding Anne

    Luisa came out of the bathroom, wearing a kimono-shaped towel that covered her body up to her thighs. While tying a small towel around her hair, she asked Scott, "What was that just now? I thought I heard a scream.""There was someone screaming," Scott said. "It seems like it's downstairs.""The room renter?""Could be."The woman's scream was heard again. This time it wasn't a scream, actually, it was more like a yell.Neither Scott nor Luisa could hear it clearly. They exchanged glances and seemed to be guessing what the woman was saying, who she was talking to.At this point, the woman screamed again, almost as loud and shrill as before. Scott reflexively stood up. His jaw tightened."Do you want to check downstairs?" Luisa asked.Scott looked at Luisa, asking, "May I?"Luisa rolled her eyes, but then nodded. "Go ahead," she said.Scott then left their room. Luisa sighed. She knew she couldn't stop someone like Scott from staying quiet and pretending not to know when something happ
