Chapter 30
“It was one man,” the bodyguard said grimly. “Name’s Antonio.”He held out his phone, revealing a photo of Tiger—his face swollen beyond recognition, one eye completely shut, blood crusted at the corner of his lips, and bruises spreading like ink across his jaw and neck. His usually intimidating frame was slumped, broken, and stripped of any dignity.The tension in the dojo thickened, coiling like a drawn bowstring.Felix’s eyes narrowed as he studied the image. He was a legend in underground martial arts circles, renowned for his surgical strikes and brutal efficiency. Now, his arms were folded tightly across his chest with his gaze like a blade.“Disgraceful! I didn’t train him to end up like this." Within a moment, his tone changed. "Then again, I shouldn’t be surprised...”Wrestler, pacing nearby with fury radiating from him, growled, “You think he wasn’t strong enough?”Felix scoffed. “Strong enough to handle average street scum? Yes. Tiger could wipe the floor with mercs an

Hearing Tiger’s threats, Antonio let out a casual chuckle.At that moment, no one could predict what would come next. Would Antonio soon be at the mercy of Tiger and his gang?After all, Tiger had a fearsome reputation. He wasn’t just another street thug—he was ruthless, powerful, and undefeated.And Antonio? He didn’t seem like someone who could stand up to him.The odds were stacked against Antonio, and the tension in the air was palpable. Everyone present feared the inevitable—Tiger had now regained his strength and would make Antonio pay dearly!The calm in Antonio’s demeanor only deepened the unease.Cynthia stood nearby, visibly tense, her fists clenched as her eyes flicked anxiously between the two men.Elaine was frozen in place, horror etched across her face. What had started as a confrontation meant to protect her had spiraled into something far more dangerous. Her lips parted as if to speak, but no sound came. Her heart thundered in her chest.It seemed the only way for

Standing just outside the executive corridor, calm and composed, was Antonio.He was dressed in a dark tailored suit, but there was nothing corporate about the glint in his eyes.His expression was like ice—a stillness before a coming storm.He stepped forward slowly, one hand in his pocket, the other resting loosely at his side.Tiger stiffened and his men hesitated.Antonio’s gaze didn’t falter as he walked straight between them, stopping in front of Elaine, and shielding her with his presence.His gaze locked on Tiger’s as though daring him to make a move.Recognition dawned in Tiger’s eyes. "You..." he growled, spitting on the ground with a sneer.“So, you're the little punk from before. Thought you got lucky last time, huh?”He laughed—a low, guttural sound that reeked of menace.“You really think you can play the hero again?”Antonio didn’t blink. Instead, his voice cut through the tension like steel.“Touch her, and you’re dead.”Upon hearing this, Tiger burst into mocking lau

The incident at the party just days ago had spread like wildfire across social media. Clips of the explosive confrontation between Antonio and Harry had gone viral—captured and circulated by guests who had filmed it in secret. The tension, the searing words, Elaine’s emotional breakdown—it was all out in the open. And with the internet buzzing, it didn’t take long for Tiger to discover the shocking twist: Elaine was Antonio’s ex-wife. For Tiger and his crew, this was no time to retreat. Their mission against Cynthia was still in motion, and failure wasn’t in their nature—not after Antonio and Cynthia had thwarted their previous attempt. That defeat only fueled their obsession. Determined, they dug deeper. Their investigations led them straight to Ardent Core Innovations—Cynthia’s workplace. Now, they were back, hellbent on revenge. Tiger arrived first, stepping into the building while his men waited outside, ready to strike. Antonio wasn’t off their radar either. They

Cynthia couldn’t help it—Harry’s delusion was so laughable, she burst into genuine laughter. There was no use arguing with a fool. Silence, she reminded herself, was often the sharpest answer. What amused her more was that Harry had clearly learned nothing from having his contract torn apart by Bellagio Group. And yet, here he was again, puffed up with empty arrogance, acting like he was someone of importance when, in truth, he was nothing at all. She almost pitied Elaine—almost. How naïve could one be to believe that Harry was the mastermind behind the deal? It was baffling, really. But then again, fools rarely recognize their own stupidity. Still, she silently hoped Elaine wouldn’t ruin the favor she’d received—with her own reckless pride. Noticing that neither Cynthia nor Antonio flinched at his words, Harry sneered, desperate to salvage his crumbling ego. "I guess I shouldn’t be surprised," he said smugly, facing Cynthia. "You're too proud to admit the tru
Chapter 25
The sleek, mirrored lobby of Ardent Core Innovations shimmered with quiet opulence. Antonio and Cynthia had barely stepped out from the car when they crossed paths with Elaine and Harry. Elaine’s sharp gaze immediately locked on Cynthia. Then, she noticed Antonio beside her, and her face twisted with unmistakable disdain while her lips curled into a smirk of pure contempt. “Isn’t it the shameless lover pair making another grand entrance,” she sneered, arms folded in disbelief. “You’ve really outdone yourself this time, Miss Morris—scraping the bottom of the barrel must be your new specialty.” She took a slow step forward, her voice laced with venom. “First, you bring him to a corporate building, and now to Ardent Core? What’s next? Letting him take notes in board meetings? She scoffed, eyes flicking to Antonio with disdain. “No, wait. I get it. He’s your personal leech-in-residence. Still surviving off powerful women because God forbid he opens a door on his own.” Ela
