CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-THREE “No, please!!” Mason turned to Kara, begging with everything he had.“I beg you! Don’t do this, Kara! She is just a child!”“Then tell your stubborn friend to hand over his blade!” Kara demanded, pointing at Hudderson with her eyes sparking with rage.Just then, Mason turned to Hudderson, attempting to force the words out. “Please, Hudderson. I don’t want my daughter to die.” He pleaded with tears in his eyes, but he didn’t need to beg any further.Hudderson took a deep breath, and then he turned to look at Kara, glaring at her.“You want my dagger?” He lifted the blade above his head, and Kara trailed it with her eyes. “You can have it,” He said with a wry smile, handing the blade over to her.As soon as Kara grabbed the blade hurriedly from him, she moved it closer to her face, admiring it with a smile that refused to leave. “Where did you get this blade from?” She asked, returning her gaze to Hudderson.The Supreme Ruler hesitated for a while,

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FIVE After a few seconds, she turned to look at the grave, and then she scoffed, her expression drained of its little brightness. “Vianney loved me, but that was not enough. He was tiring, and I wanted to have fun. Do not just stay with him all day and do nothing. That’s not the kind of life I wanted for myself.” “So you decided that the right thing to do was to sleep with his father.” Hudderson scoffed, looking her in the eyes. The lady wanted to pretend like she didn’t hear what Hudderson said, but it was resounding in her ears, causing her to take a deep breath while she hoped to be able to get rid of the guilt that surged through her veins. “Andrew was more agile than his son in bed…” She giggled, biting softly on her lower lip as she reminisced about the forbidden memories she shared with the old man. “He knew the right places to touch, the right places to kiss, and the right time to come. He wasn’t as boring as his son, and I was beginning to

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVEN Mason growled as he returned his gaze to Kara, eyes burning with rage.“Don’t make me kill you, Kara!” He warned, shaking her again.“Tell me the truth! Where is she?!” He was ready to strangle her, tightening his grip around her neck.Kara thought that she could resist much longer, but the moment she realized that her breath was no longer hers, she was forced to speak. “She is upstairs! She is upstairs, Mason! Upstairs…” Her voice was losing its grip, her eyes rolling backward as her life seemed like it no longer belonged to her. Mason arched his brows, his entire frame straightened by the disbelief that flowed from the words he heard from Kara.“What…” The words hung in his throat, his eyes piercing into Kara as though he was trying to search her soul. “What did you just say? Vera is here?”“Yes, Mason! She is upstairs! I swear!” Kara nodded frantically, her voice slowly losing its grip.For the countless times, she made another attempt to regain

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-NINE “Maybe you were not told. But you shouldn’t have dared to come to this place. You just signed your death wish…” The man snarled at the Supreme Ruler, his glowing orbs a promise of violence. Hudderson scoffed, and without taking his eyes off him, he took a deep breath, refusing to let go of his smirk. “Would you at least tell me who you are and what you are doing here?” He demanded, his voice low but audible. The man glared at him for a while, and then he nodded, refusing to let go of the look on his face. “Very well…” He cleared his throat, his scowl still unwavering. “If that is going to be the last wish you get before you meet your demise, I will be so obliged to grant it without delay.” He paused for a few seconds, and from all indications, Hudderson could tell that he was about to sing a eulogy about himself.“My name is Kairon Ranya, and I am the CEO of the Ranya Conglomerate.” His voice was loud with pride and arrogance, his eyes staring at

“Tell me who you are…” Kairon muttered, almost seeming like he was pleading, his eyes wide and almost crawling out of their sockets. “You really don’t know who I am…” Hudderson scoffed, looking him in the eyes. “No…” Kairon shook his head, his orbs still glittering with desperation. “I don’t know who you are, Sir! I have never met you before in my life!” “Yes, you want to take my place…” Hudderson sniggered, but it wasn’t long before the amusement on his face vanished, replaced by a scowl.Kairon was still yet to understand what he meant, staring at him with arched brows. “I…” He stuttered, his voice low and slippery. “I want to take your place?” He muttered, his mind struggling to process those words amidst the fear that was buried deep inside him.Then it finally hit him, and he gasped. “You…” He tried to shift backward, but it was obvious that he had forgotten that he was standing in front of a wall and even leaning against it.“You are the Supreme Ruler…” It had dawned on h
