“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. Reflexively, she hurled her empty wine glass at Scott's face.
Swoosh!
Scott caught the glass effortlessly. Lisa was astonished. How could he move his hand that fast?
Frustrated that her throw hadn’t connected, Lisa turned her gaze to Luisa, who stood behind Scott.
“Hey, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be catering to those pervy guys at The Red Velvet? And why are you wearing a scarf? Trying to hide that ‘RV’ tattoo on your forehead?” she taunted.
Luisa lowered her head. After everything Lisa had said and done to her, she couldn’t bear to hold Lisa’s gaze for long. The mention of the tattoo made her feel especially uncomfortable.
Scott noticed Luisa’s discomfort and shot Lisa a fierce look.
“Luisa is here because she’s part of the team organizing this tender auction. What’s wrong with that?” Scott replied.
“What did you say? She works here, in this office?” Lisa asked mockingly, then burst out laughing.
“Of course she works here. She’s a project officer at Dominion Group. Believe it or not, it’s up to you,” Scott said.
At this point, Daniel rose from their table and walked over to Luisa and James. Lucas and Jacob followed closely behind.
The guests at the front tables sensed something was happening behind them, but they didn’t care. They were sure it wasn’t worth their attention.
“What nonsense is this? You’ve already crossed the line by coming here. Now you say that useless woman behind you is an employee at Dominion Group? Your words are truly embarrassing!” Daniel said.
“I don’t know what’s happened to you, but it seems like your brain is getting worse. You should probably see a doctor, Scott, if you have the money for a hospital visit,” Lucas added.
“You and Luisa shouldn’t be here. If you still have any sense left, Scott, you should take her away. The longer you stay, the more you’ll humiliate yourself,” Jacob chimed in.
Seeing her family joining in the attack on Scott and Luisa only fueled Lisa’s confidence. She sidled up to James, linking her arm through his and leaning against him, then said,
“Let me tell you something, Scott. This prestigious project from Dominion Group will be won by the Winterbourne family, the richest and most powerful family here.
“And since James is close with Quint, the heir to the Winterbourne throne, some of the projects will be passed on to James, and my family will surely get a taste of it.
“If that happens, Grandma will promote me to project manager, a position I’ve had my eyes on for ages. And not only that, James will gift Mom and me a villa in the northern part of Oval Enclave.
“Now I hope you realize how pathetic you and Luisa are. You’re levels far below us!”
Lisa emphasized every word, her voice rising at times, drawing glances from some guests at the front tables who looked mildly disturbed.
Scott merely chuckled and shook his head. He said, “Interesting information. But unfortunately, this project’s outcome isn’t for you to decide."
“Oh, not for me to decide? Then who, you?” Lisa scoffed, “You idiot! Don’t tell me you’re about to say you’re the chairman of Dominion Group! Hahaha!” She laughed, looking at Scott as if he were a fool.
“Well, you guessed right,” Scott replied with a cold smile.

"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. I’ve done some research on you, and I found nothing special. You’re pathetic!” Scott furrowed his brow. Everything Lisa said matched the false information spread years ago to
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
WAR GOD'S REVENGE Froze In Shock
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’

Scott glanced at the woman. She was with the Ravenwood family.Briton also turned to her, but his glare was full of rage.“This gentleman is innocent, Mr. Briton. Quint started this mess. He demanded the woman with this gentleman sleep with him. That alone is outrageous. No wonder this gentleman got angry,” the blonde woman said.Scott narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face. He hadn’t expected anyone in the room to defend him and Luisa.Bang!Suddenly, Briton fired a shot into the air. The blonde woman flinched.“Stay out of my business, you little brat! If you stand up for the scum who cut off Quint’s hand, I’ll have my guards deal with you too!” Briton threatened.Francesca Ravenwood, the blonde woman, froze and took a step back. Was this really what Briton Winterbourne was like when enraged—ignoring anyone who dared speak and ready to crush anyone standing in his way? John Ravenwood, her father, rushed forward with a panicked expression. Standing beside Francesca,
WAR GOD'S REVENGE The Disqualification of Winterbourne Group
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

His steps were still firm and confident, as if he were absolutely certain he could take down Flinch and his men.The challenging attitude Scott displayed left Flinch’s men confused. On one hand, they really wanted to shoot Scott or at least land a kick or punch on him, but Flinch’s earlier order was crystal clear: they were forbidden from shooting Scott.Flinch noticed his men’s confusion. Finally, with a wave of his free hand, he signaled for his men to make way for Scott.'Let Scott approach him.'

A black SUV with bulletproof armor and windows sped down the highway. The vehicle was escorted by several other cars in front and behind it. There were also motorcyclists clearing the way, ensuring the convoy reached the Dark Eyes bar without any obstacles.

It wasn’t just Helena and Oscar who were stunned by Scott’s sudden appearance; Barn and Donald were too. For a moment, Donald even forgot about the gunshot wound in his left thigh.Scott stepped forward, as if dragging his terrifying black aura with him. Helena gritted her teeth. She desperately wanted to pull the trigger, but her finger wouldn’t move. The cold filling the room seemed to have frozen her in place.“AAAAAAAAA!!!!”The scream came from Oscar. Scott stopped in his tracks. He saw Oscar forcing himself to move. Now, Oscar aimed his rifle at Scott.“Let me handle him. You take them!” Oscar said to Helena.“Are you sure you can take him on alone?” Helena asked, looking at Oscar doubtfully.“Don’t underestimate me. After all, I’m one of Mr. Big’s strongest soldiers. Just get them out of here!”Helena looked back at Scott, meeting his cold gaze. “Alright,” she said. “Cripple him if you can, but don’t kill him.”There was no further response from Oscar, but he smirked briefly.

Scott Arrived At The Bar
At the Dark Eyes bar...Barn and the secret agents under his command were caught in an endless firefight. Somehow, they had become the targets of the people who were originally in conflict there. Slowly, Barn and Donald began to suspect that the shootout and chaos at the bar were a trap. Someone had deliberately lit the fuse to lure them here.“Sir, we really need backup,” Donald said after firing a shot and ducking back behind a wall.Barn was beside him, having just done the same. Instead of responding, Barn checked his watch. Fifteen minutes had passed. The reinforcements he’d requested should be arriving soon.Bang! Bang! Bang!A barrage of gunfire was directed at them, tearing through the wall and leaving cracks. The two exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and then returned fire with their own volley.Bang! Bang!

You've Been Wasting My Time
At the secret facility in the northern part of Nortwold...Scott had just finished talking to Eva. He let out a sigh. Eva had asked him when he planned to return home because Luisa kept asking about it. Reluctantly, Scott told Eva that he still needed more time to finish his business in Nortwold and asked her to stay with Luisa until he returned. Eva agreed to Scott’s sudden request but asked him to call Luisa and explain the situation when he had a moment.It was getting late. Thinking about it, he had been away from home for quite a while. He had sent Luisa a brief message during his trip, but there had been no reply. He tried to picture Luisa and imagined her glaring at him angrily.Scott blinked. He could think about that later. Right now, he needed to focus on dealing with Josh.Scott turned his attention to the two women in the room with him. Erica and Kim seemed to be discussing something seriously. Their voices were low, and their expressions were tense. When they looked at Sc

Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door from the outside, and it opened. Erica returned, accompanied by a woman with clear-framed glasses.“Sir, I’ve brought Kim,” Erica said.Barn and Donald turned toward the door simultaneously. Seeing their expressions, Erica immediately understood that something bad had just happened.“Come in, Kim. Sit here,” Barn said as he stood up.Kim looked a little confused but sat down in the chair Barn had just vacated.“Do you know what you need to do, Kim?” Barn asked.Kim was about to answer, but Erica cut in, “I’ve already explained it to her, sir.”“Good,” Barn nodded, then turned to Scott with a cold stare. “Mr. Scott, she will help you. I have things to do. We’ll continue our conversation later.”Scott didn’t respond. He just furrowed his brow and raised an eyebrow.Barn turned around and, accompanied by Donald, left the room. As they walked down the hallway, Barn said to Donald, “Dig deeper into his connections with the military. I want to know
I'm The War God
At a secret facility in the northern part of Nortwold...Donald and Erica had brought Scott to the underground level and were now leading him into a room that resembled an interrogation room.There was a single table in the room, with only two chairs. A large one-way mirror was installed on the wall, allowing those outside to see inside, while those inside could only see their own reflections when looking at the mirror.“Please have a seat. We need you to wait here,” Donald said, pointing to the table with the two chairs.“One of you isn’t joining me? Didn’t you say you wanted to know how you could help me?” Scott asked as he pulled out a chair and sat down.“Like I said earlier,” Erica replied, “our superior is waiting for you. He’ll be the one speaking with you.”Without glancing at Erica, Scott nodded. He then turned his attention to the one-way mirror. His ears picked up the faint sound of footsteps.“Is that him? Does your superior have the build of a bodybuilder?” Scott asked.D
I Can Take Care of My Self
Scott frowned. He studied the man named Donald who had spoken to him, as well as the woman beside him.“Secret Agent?” Scott asked after Donald tucked his ID and badge back into the inner pocket of his coat. “You have business with me?”“Yes. We’re asking you to come with us right now. Leave your car here. We’ll send someone to take care of it later,” Donald replied.“Are you sure you’ve got the right guy?” Scott asked again, smirking mockingly.“You’re Scott Goodman, aren’t you? Just come with us, get in the car. We’re gonna take you somewhere safe before bad things happen,” the woman interjected.Scott looked at her. “Bad things? Like what?”The woman glared at Scott, annoyed. She opened her mouth to respond to Scott’s mocking question, but Donald cut her off.“This city has dangers you might not be aware of. We’ve been sent by our superior to pick you up, ensure your safety, and bring you to our headquarters. Trust me, this city isn’t as calm as it seems. Threats can appear out of

Seeing Scott’s eyes locked on her firm, perky breasts, Bianca smiled. “If you want to enjoy these to your heart’s content, we can slip away to one of the motels nearby. Of course, you’ll be paying,” she said.Scott shifted his gaze to Bianca’s eyes. His expression was cold. Without a word, he reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet, took out a few bills, and placed them on the bartender’s counter in front of him.“Keep the change,” Scott said, downing the rest of his drink and standing up.“Hey, wait!” Bianca stood up as well, grabbing Scott’s hand again, this time with more force. “You think you can just ignore me like this? You think you can walk away after I willingly showed you my prized assets, huh?”Scott slowly turned his head, meeting Bianca’s sharp gaze. Her face showed restrained anger, and her tone had shifted. Scott could sense that Bianca was losing her composure.*This woman... she’s about to reveal her true self in a moment,* he thought.Scott shook his right han
