Pierce's head snapped towards her, his face raw with bewildered expression. "What?" he breathed as he looked from Natasha's triumphant face to his daughter's stunned and wounded one.Eliza touched her chest in shock, her head replaying Natasha's confession. "Dad? So....""No, it's not anything like that." Pierce didn't waste time in stopping Eliza from completing her words. He gave Natasha a dread look before turning around to hold Eliza by the shoulders. "Don't believe her at all, my love. Not even the slightest. She's just...""Oh, she shouldn't believe me because I'm not what I said I am?" Natasha interrupted sarcastically, pain evident in her cracking voice. "But she should believe you've been trying to kill your only brother and his son in Futuriux?""Hmmm?" Eliza jerked her shoulders out of her father's grip and Pierce instantly became furious and stormed with rage back to Natasha with rage. "Hmmphh!" He groaned with suppressed anger, wagging his finger at his face."What're you

Missouri, United States Of America."Durling, could you believe what that piece of shit just called me for?" A woman in her mid-forties pouted in a baby voice as she walked towards her man.On finally getting to the man who sat at an office desk, watching the bustling Missouri metropolis through his king-size floor-to-ceiling glass walls, she realized he wasn't paying attention to her."Pierce baby?" She called his name startlingly and took his wine glass from his hand, dropping it on top of the desk."What's this, Natasha!?" Pierce Schwarzenger said under his breath, trying to mask the anxiety and anger boring his mind. "I don't remember telling you I'm done with the wine."Instead of giving him back the wineglass, Natasha leaned closer, her face just a few inches away from his. "But you're not responding. I've been talking to you for some minutes and you didn't even act like you're in the room here with me. Or are you still angry about yesterday night in bed?""Tsk," Pierce jerked b

The door of the aviation section tower at the Schwarzenger estate slid open as Elijah stepped out, followed by Bartholomew and the two guards. "Bartho, make sure to tell the pilots to park the helicopters properly," he said, gesturing toward the top of the tower. The noise from the helicopters made it difficult to hear his voice."Affirmative," Bartolomeo mumbled before returning to the tower.Elijah turned to one of the guards. "Go fetch the unit lead guard. I expect him to..." He didn’t finish his sentence, as he noticed the lead unit guard and the SHADOW guards watching Aaron approaching him."My lord," the SHADOW trio bowed upon reaching him. "We have something to tell you, sir," Elijah nodded and began to walk toward his mansion. "Of course, you should," he smiled. "Tell me."The lead guard, with a stern expression, bowed his head once more. "My lord," he began, his voice a low rumble. He then turned to the senior of the two SHADOW operatives who had been tailing Aaron. "Report

Meanwhile, at the Schwarzenger estate, Aaron Kellyman stealthily moved behind the tall pine trees in the garden, feeling overly confident that he wasn’t being seen or followed.Unbeknownst to him, two guards from the SHADOW secret team, which Elijah had instructed the lead guard to assemble, were trailing him just a few meters behind, monitoring his every move.Completely unaware that the Schwarzenger guards’ uniforms were equipped with implanted listening devices, Aaron discreetly pulled out an unauthorized smartphone from his inner underwear and dialled a number.“It looks like he’s using a phone while on duty,” one of the SHADOW guards muttered, furrowing his brow as he tried to identify what Aaron was holding.The other guard nodded and concluded that what Aaron had was indeed a phone. “The scum imposter probably hasn’t realized that all the other guards, except him, use only 'SCHWARXX'—the only approved smartphone made by the authority.”As he spoke, Aaron instinctively turned ar

The boardroom slowly settled into a new stillness, papers being shuffled, tablets powered off, and half-empty glasses of sparkling water left behind as the introduction meeting neared its end. Schwarzenger turned his attention to the entire table, his voice composed but authoritative. “Are there any other issues on the ground we need to address before we wrap up?” he asked, gaze sweeping across the twelve high-ranking individuals. Heads subtly shook from side to side. “No, sir,” Rothschild Sr. replied first, followed by quiet murmurs of agreement from the others. Schwarzenger gave a small nod of satisfaction. “Very well then,” he said, rising from the seat with his usual calm grace. “You’re all dismissed. Kindly proceed to the bottom floor. My son would like to address the press and well-wishers from the boardroom balcony.” Chairs scraped gently against the tiled floor as the general managers began filing out, one after another, each offering a polite nod or bow in Elijah’s direct

Elijah leaned back, his gaze piercing Peter's. “How about you sell us the cemetery?”Shocked, Peter blinked. “Sell… the cemetery?” Bartholomew nodded. “Name your price. We won’t negotiate. Whatever you think this land and the graves is worth, we’ll pay it.” Peter’s breath caught in his throat and his mind raced with speed. Theis was an offer he couldn’t refuse. "Instead of being responsible for anything that happens to the graves, I rather ask for a huge sum of money and relocate to the Maldives."A slow, nervous smile crept onto his face knowing that no amount of money would sound too big for the Schwarzengers. “Then… I suppose I should write down the price?” A sharp intentional grin crossed Elijah's lips. “Exactly," he muttered happily.Bartholomew slid the checkbook closer to Peter “Any amount you wish, Mr. Peter August." He said, feeling charismatic.Peter hesitated only a second before reaching for the pen
