Chapter 240
Immediately after the boss of the Black Dragon coughed out blood from the devastating impact of Naomi's punch, his body still reeling from the shock and pain of the blow, that was when Naomi made her next move without wasting another precious second or giving him any chance to recover his composure.She reached out with her right hand and grabbed the boss firmly by the throat, her fingers wrapping around his neck with iron determination. And then, in a display of superhuman strength that shocked everyone watching, she just lifted him upwards effortlessly with just that one hand, raising his entire body weight off the ground as if he weighed nothing more than a child's doll.The boss's feet left the floor as he dangled helplessly in Naomi's impossibly strong grip, his hands immediately going to his throat in a desperate attempt to pry her fingers away, but finding no success against the vise-like hold she had on him.Immediately upon seeing what Naomi just did with such casual ease, de

With the body now crashed on the floor in a pool of spreading blood, completely dead and still, that was when all the remaining fighters and lieutenants were taken completely aback by what they had just witnessed, unable to understand or process what had just happened to their seemingly invincible leader. They stared in shock and disbelief, asking themselves how their powerful boss could just die so easily and so quickly, as if he had been nothing more than some kind of common roadside thug or low-level gang member who couldn't even defend himself properly.The psychological impact was devastating as they wondered in horror, “What the hell is going on here? How did this happen to the man we thought was untouchable?”At that moment, before anybody in the room could say anything or react to the shocking death of their leader, Naomi was already turning to face the remaining survivors with blood still on her hands, already asking with cold authority and obvious threat in her voice, “Who a
Chapter 242
At that moment, upon hearing what the trembling right-hand man just said with obvious regret - that he doesn't know the password or combination to access the heavily secured vault where the King of Herbs was stored - Naomi felt herself becoming gravely disappointed and frustrated because this obstacle threatened to derail her entire mission at the very moment of victory.She really wanted desperately to make David proud of her capabilities and prove that his faith in bringing her along on this dangerous mission had been justified. She really wanted to make absolutely sure that David would be extremely impressed and satisfied with her performance, demonstrating that she could handle the leadership responsibilities he had entrusted to her by giving her the privilege of confronting the boss personally, and upgrading her.But from the way things were developing now with this unexpected complication regarding vault access, it didn't seem like she was going to be able to successfully compl
Chapter 243
Immediately upon hearing Naomi's thoughtful concerns about the delicate nature of their mission and the potential risks to the valuable contents stored within the heavily fortified vault, that was when David's face broke into a gentle, reassuring smile that carried notes of quiet amusement at her worries.And when David smiled in that calm, confident way that seemed to suggest he possessed knowledge and capabilities far beyond what anyone else could imagine, he then told Naomi with absolute certainty and no trace of doubt in his voice, “This vault situation is really nothing for you to worry about at all, Naomi. Yes, I can clearly see that it is constructed from very strong materials and protected by sophisticated security systems, but I'm going to undo all of these barriers without any difficulty whatsoever.”Before Naomi had finished fully processing what David just said with such casual confidence, she found herself taken aback quite significantly, because based on her understandin
Chapter 244
David had already successfully gotten back home after completing his dangerous mission to retrieve the King of Herbs, feeling satisfied with the night's accomplishments and ready to begin the healing process for Nicky's father, when all of a sudden as he approached his modest residence, he noticed an expensive luxury car parked prominently in his front yard that definitely didn't belong there.And then that was when he slowed his approach and stopped cautiously to observe more carefully, seeing that somebody was already standing confidently in his front yard near the entrance to his home, clearly waiting for him to arrive despite the late hour.And immediately upon focusing his attention on the unexpected visitor's face and posture, he recognized with a mixture of surprise and resignation that it was no other person but Elizabeth, his ex-wife who had divorced him so callously and humiliated him so publicly when his fortunes had changed.So without wasting any time on speculation about
Chapter 245
At that moment, upon hearing all the accusations and threats that Elizabeth just delivered with such venom and righteous indignation, that was when David simply shook his head slowly in obvious disappointment, his expression showing that he had expected something more substantial from this late-night confrontation.He said with calm dismissal and barely concealed contempt, “I honestly thought it was going to be something genuinely important that you really wanted to discuss with me tonight, Elizabeth. But instead you come here making wild accusations about Benjamin.” His voice carried notes of sardonic amusement, “What exactly concerns me about what happens to Benjamin and his current situation?”David's tone became more direct and challenging as he continued, “Benjamin brought whatever consequences he's facing entirely upon himself through his own actions and decisions. Has he actually said anything directly like claiming that I was personally responsible for what happened to him in
Chapter 246
At that moment, upon hearing the devastating and prophetic words that David just delivered about her impending downfall and the consequences she would soon face for her arrogance and betrayal, that was when Elizabeth felt her anger surge to even greater heights, her face flushing red with fury and wounded pride. And then she immediately ran with quick, aggressive steps to position herself directly in front of David, physically blocking his path toward his own home and stopping him from walking away from this confrontation. She demanded with rising hysteria in her voice, "Where exactly do you think you're going, David? You are absolutely not entering your house and escaping this conversation until you go and undo whatever terrible thing you did to Benjamin!" Her voice became more shrill and insistent, "I know with absolute certainty that you did something harmful and unnatural to him, and you need to reverse it immediately! So go right now and fix what you broke!" So at that momen
Chapter 247
So at that moment, tired of her endless deflections and refusal to accept responsibility, David simply said with calm, absolute authority, "Well, Elizabeth, the reason I know everything about you and your activities is actually quite simple - it's because I was literally the one who made you into who you are now professionally." His voice carried the weight of undeniable truth, "I was the one working behind the scenes, using my connections and influence to ensure your promotions, to smooth over your mistakes, to open doors that would have remained closed to you otherwise." He continued with measured intensity, "So you should never, ever forget about that fundamental reality - that everything you have achieved was built on foundations that I created for you." His tone became more ominous, "And that is exactly why it is so incredibly easy for me to literally reach out and take back everything that I gave you, to dismantle all those carefully constructed advantages piece by piece."

So immediately after receiving all the crucial information he needed about the emergency situation, the call ended and the line went silent. That was when David stood there holding his phone and looked at the dark screen thoughtfully for several long seconds, processing the urgency of Nikki's crisis and formulating his response strategy. Well, despite the concerning circumstances and the potential interference from the Mayor son and his corrupt associates, David knew with absolute confidence that no matter what medical procedures or treatments they attempted at whatever hospital they chose, nobody in the conventional medical establishment was going to be able to properly treat and completely heal Nikki's father's severely damaged spinal cord the way he would be able to accomplish it using his extraordinary healing abilities and the precious King of Herbs he had just retrieved. So fundamentally, he really didn't have anything to worry about when it came to that particular medical a
Chapter 249
At that moment, upon hearing Dr. Silva's attempt to negotiate conditions and extract promises in exchange for her cooperation during this medical emergency, that was when David's voice became cold and absolutely authoritative as he told her with unmistakable firmness, “Silver, I'm not going to promise you anything at all in return for this favor, and I don't have time for negotiations or personal arrangements right now.” His tone became more threatening and direct, “So you better get to work immediately and implement exactly what I've requested, because I'm warning you right now - before I arrive at your hospital, if anybody on your medical staff literally lays a finger on the man in the wheelchair or begins any procedures whatsoever, I'm not going to take it lightly with you or your institution.” The menace in his voice was unmistakable, “There will be serious consequences for both you personally and your hospital if my instructions aren't followed to the letter.” So immediately u
