The next morning, the sun filtered softly through the windows of the villa. Dustin sat at the kitchen table, sipping his coffee, when Serena walked down the stairs. He paused, his cup halfway to his mouth. She was dressed far more elegantly than usual. She wore a stunning, form-fitting emerald dress, her hair was perfectly styled. She looked breathtaking, and also looked like she was heading somewhere highly important. Dustin set his coffee down. "You look beautiful," he said calmly. "Where are you going dressed like that?". Serena stopped at the mirror near the door, checking her lipstick. Her voice was ice-cold when she replied. "That is none of your business, Dustin. You have no right to question my movements, I think we had an agreement on that." Dustin leaned back in his chair, his expression unbothered. "Let me guess. Are you going out with Ferdinand?". Serena turned around, looking him straight in the eye without a single hint of regret in her words, she didn

Ferdinand’s face burned with humiliation as he rubbed his aching back. He was absolutely furious. He had just been thrown to the ground by a woman, and his pride was completely shattered. Just at that moment, a loud, booming voice echoed through the entire banquet hall. "Announcing the arrival of Commander Calvin!" The room instantly erupted into excited whispers. Everyone began to push forward, eager to catch a glimpse of the legendary commander. He was one of the most powerful men in the region. Lydia’s eyes lit up. She turned to Ferdinand, her voice dripping with excitement. "Ferdinand! Didn't you say you knew Commander Calvin? Oh my gosh, you should totally go over there and greet him! Go show everyone who you are and shock them. Let them see your connections!" Ferdinand violently gulped. His throat suddenly felt as dry as sandpaper. He had lied a little bit about how close he actually was with the commander, he actually hope Commander calvin will have idea who he i

Chapter 25Lydia scoffed loudly, throwing her hands in the air. "You will take care of what? Uhn, how exactly do you plan to do that, Dustin? By getting yourself chopped into pieces?"Dustin didn't even look at her. His expression remained completely flat. "How I handle it shouldn't concern any of you. You all should just leave. I will deal with it."Serena let out a bitter scoff of her own, shaking her head in sheer frustration. "Deal with it? You’re talking about a brutal syndicate, Dustin! You will just get yourself killed!"Ferdinand, seeing a perfect opportunity to escape without looking like a total coward, quickly chimed in. "You know what? It actually makes total sense for us to leave him here. He was the cause of all this anyway! If he hadn't jumped in to show off, we wouldn't be looking at a gang war."Lydia nodded fiercely, seeing the perfect logic in his words. "Yeah! Exactly! He should stay right here since he was the one acting so cocky. Let him face them."They complet

Titan, completely broken and trembling like a leaf, instantly threw himself onto the ground, pressing his forehead on the ground. Elgin. now on the floor also. pleading so much "Please forgive me. I am sorry. I didn't know who you were! I am so sorry".But Dustin wasn't going to forgive him. He pressed Serena’s butt. "Grab his hand" Dustin emotionless said. As some of the soldiers immediately rushed to Elgin and grabbed his hand."no no, please forgive me!. please... I am sorry!".Dustin didn't even listen. He brought his heavy military boot down right onto Elgin’s hand, which was resting on the ground, and violently crushed his fingers against the floor. CRUNCH!!!!"AAAAHHH!" Elgin screamed at the top of his lungs, a sound of pure agony echoing through the night. He fell to his side, tears streaming down his face as he cried out, begging through his sobs. "Please! Please, stop! Forgive me! I didn't know! I swear I didn't know!".Even though it just one step. Two of Elgin's fin

Lydia was practically still bouncing on her heels, her eyes wide with frantic excitement. She grabbed Serena’s arm, shaking it. "Oh my gosh, Serena! Do you see this?! Ferdinand actually did it! He must have used his father's connections just like you asked him to last night. He did this! Just look at how magnificent it is! The entire Venom Gang is literally kneeling in the dirt for you!"Out on the street, the bizarre sight was already drawing a crowd. Passersby were pulling out their phones, eagerly recording videos of the city’s most feared syndicate acting like terrified servants.Serena didn’t even know what to do or say. The sheer absurdity of the situation left her speechless.Before she could process it, Mr. Titan looked up from the ground, his expression completely desperate. "Madam... Master... I heard through our channels that you are currently managing a massive corporate project. A project that requires a great deal of construction. You will need hundreds of laborers, ri
