Mr Nathaniel remained on his knees, breathing heavily as he looked up at Raymond. His pride had been shattered, yet the hatred in his eyes had not disappeared."Finish it, then," he snarled. "Kill me."Raymond stood silently and a quiet laugh escaped him. A slow, cold laugh escaped his lips—devoid of humor, heavy with ruthless intent. It was cold enough to make Mr Nathaniel's expression change.​"No," Raymond said softly. "Why should I do that? I wouldn't dream of giving you an easy way out."He stepped closer, leaning in just enough so Mr Nathaniel could hear the quiet promise in his voice. "I want you to feel the pain. I want you to actually feel what it’s like when you inflict agony on people. When you make them cry. When you play god with their lives. I want you to burn in it." Raymond’s eyes hardened into ice. "You spent years deciding how much pain other people deserved. You made them suffer because you believed you had the right to control their lives."Raymond's gaze remaine

Upon hearing the words of Victoria's Father, the air in the hall turned ice instantly. Fear and confusion hung heavily in the air, as the people gathered inside stared at one another, desperately trying to understand how everything had fallen apart so quickly. Victoria stood among them, her face still filled with confusion as she paced the floor.She looked toward Mrs. Nathaniel.“Mrs. Nathaniel,” she finally said, her voice unsteady, “what exactly happened here?”Mrs. Nathaniel did not answer immediately.Her eyes were red, and her face was pale from the devastation she had just witnessed.She slowly turned towards Victoria.“It was him.”She frowned.“Who?”Mrs. Nathaniel's lips trembled as she pointed toward the direction Raymond had left.“The brother of the lady you sold to us.”Victoria stared at her.“What?”Mrs. Nathaniel swallowed hard.“like i said before, her brother came here.”Her voice broke slightly.“He is the one who killed my sons.”Victoria went blank, for a momen

Without wasting any more time, Victoria zoomed off to see Silver, her friend from university and as she drove, the night air was thick with unexpected energy. The moment she turned through the gates, she noticed the busyness. Although, She had expected the quietness of the mansion to give her a chance to clear her head after everything that had happened hours before but she was instead greeted by a flurry of motion, servants rushing through the grounds, carrying boxes and arranging decorations, outdoor lanterns being polished, and heavy crates of vintage wine stacked near the entrance. The entire mansion was buzzing like a hive in the dead of night. Even the usually quiet driveway was filled with activities. She slowed the car as she stared through the windshield, confusion replacing the thoughts that had been tormenting her since she left her family. "What is going on"? she muttered to herself, scanning the chaos.She parked the car and stepped out, her eyes following the ser

Victoria stood firmly at the center of the busy room, her eyes locked on Silver with an unwavering conviction. There was no longer any doubt in her expression. Whatever hesitation she had carried before had completely disappeared, replaced by a strong certainty that made her words come out without hesitation, as she finally let out a heavy breath, conceding to her point.She took a slow breath and nodded."Alright, Silver, I hear you. And clearly, I agree with what you're saying," she began, her voice firm and confident. "I believe you now. I really do. I have no reason to doubt you anymore."She took a step closer, her expression turning fierce."But regardless of all that, you still have to help me. I need your help to get the head of that good-for-nothing bastard."She paused briefly, her gaze remaining fixed on Silver."That is what Mr. Nathaniel actually requested. Thinking about it, If he had asked for anything else, anything unusual, I would have been suspicious and I would

The heavy wooden doors opened with a loud echo, revealing the large room where Raymond's sister lay. As soon as Raymond stepped inside, the atmosphere in the room changed. Gabrielle West and David king who were already waiting for him there, turned their attention toward him and immediately dropped to their knees. Their movements were swift and unquestioning.Both lowered their heads, their expressions filled with absolute reverence. Neither of them dared to speak until Raymond acknowledged their presence.Gabrielle West was the one who had physically gone to the enemy stronghold to bring his injured sister back to life , while David kings tracked down her precise location. Both were legendary figures and possess strength that could make ordinary warriors tremble. Yet before Raymond, they knelt like loyal vassals. Gabrielle finally broke the silence."My Lord," she said respectfully, her voice calm and certain. "Your sister has made a complete recovery. She is one hundred perc
