Henry looked up and stared at Maya with a heartbroken expression. He hesitated to leave.But Oliver, whose clothes were already soiled with piss didn't even stay for a second. He rushed out of the room, with urine dripping down his legs.Watching him run away, Tristan trembled. Earlier, he was just boasting shamelessly and even encouraging the ladies earlier.But now, he couldn't—"Five!" Rico Castillo started the countdown.Tristan looked at Clarissa and the other ladies apologetically. "I'm sorry."He immediately followed Oliver's lead and ran away."Tristan!" Celine shouted, her voice a mixture of anger and fear. "How can you leave us behind?!"She didn't want to be abused to death by Rico and his inked gang. At that moment, she really regretted coming to this reunion."Tristan, are you even a man?!" Clarissa also panicked.Their voices were so loud it caused Tristan to halt at the doorway. But as soon as Rico yelled, "Three!"He ran away without looking back. He didn't care about

A ruthless smirk appeared on Rico Castillo's lips as he watched the bottle descend directly on Kael's head. How dare this bastard humiliate him?BANG!CRACK!The bottle shattered and cracked. But unexpectedly, it didn't land on Kael's head like Rico had hoped. It had been blocked by his arm."You... How dare you?!" Rico was now infuriated beyond one's imagination. He gestured at his men. "Break his legs for me!"His fingers clenched tightly as he gritted, "And if he dares resist, kill him. I will take responsibility for whatever happens today!"THUD!THUD!THUD!As soon as Rico gave the order, his inked thugs all rushed at Kael with the spiked baton in their hands. They were like bees swarming a honeypot.SWOOSH!Kael's eyes darkened slightly as he lowered his head and dodged the first spiked baton. He lifted one hand and grabbed the thug's wrist."You... what are you doing?" The thug's eyes widened as he tried to pull the baton but found that he couldn't even move his hand.Kael didn

Rico shook his head to get the horrifying imaginations off his mind. He couldn't take it anymore—the silence was suffocating"Boss... Sir... why don't you ask something?" His tone sounded tearful. He pointed to his arms."If you think my apology is not good enough, I'll break my arms. I'll even break my legs."But Kael simply looked at him and didn't respond. He gritted his teeth and made a decision."How about you break my third leg too? Then I won't be able—""You are asking for too much," Kael clicked his tongue."But..." Rico swallowed hard. "Boss... Sir, I only wanted to break your arms earlier. I didn't want to harm you."Kael arched his brows. His expression was like, 'Really? Tell me more.'Rico continued in a righteous tone, "After all, this is a lawful society. Even if you gave me permission to kill you, I wouldn't dare.""Oh, so you only pulled out your gun to scare me?" "Yes," Rico nodded vigorously without hesitation.He may have been involved with the underworld before

The interface on the TV screen switched to a live broadcast from the Kingswell company."Hello, dear viewers. This is your host, James," the young male anchor appeared on screen with a bright smile."We've just received confirmation that the board of directors has finalized their choice of partner."The camera shifted, focusing on a group of people.A familiar face stood at the center, shaking hands enthusiastically, grinning from ear to ear."Congratulations to the Sterling family! They have secured the billion-dollar project. Mr. Ivan Sterling clearly can't hide his excitement."Kael, who had been walking out of the dining room, paused for a brief moment… then continued as if he hadn’t heard anything.The camera switched back to the anchor."We all know the situation the Sterling family was in just a few months ago. Their turnaround has been nothing short of remarkable.""With this project, their rise seems inevitable."As a matter of fact, as the news spread, wealthy families acros

Kael's eyes darkened with a murderous glint. His words came out icily, "I hope you remember to say such words in future."Then his eyes darted to Finn and the murderous glint disappeared in an instant. His heart broke painfully as he watched the boy tremble and cry silently."Finn..." the rest of the words stuck in his throat. He had a thousand words to say but he didn't know how to start.The thought of Bridget and their child was what had kept him going all these years. Many times, he crawled out of death holes just to fulfill his promise.These past years in the army, he never dared to think of dying because he still had to return home to them. Without this, he knew he would have died countless times.Kael's fingers clenched by his side. He loved his wife and children very much.But at this moment, he didn't know how to explain to his son why he had only returned now. Why couldn't he save their mother... Why couldn't he admit to being their father...Finn wiped his tears angrily. E
