Then everything became silent.Johnson had simply stood there, staring.For a few seconds, he could not move.Then he stepped forward and nudged her with his foot.Nothing, No movement. No sound.She was dead.Johnson had left immediately.By the time he was back in his car, he had already called his men.They cleaned up the apartment, erased every trace they could, and made sure the matter disappeared before the police could connect anything to him.But Johnson never blamed himself.Not even for a second.Instead, his hatred for Alex only grew deeper.In his mind, this was all Alex's fault.If that bastard had just died when he was supposed to, none of this would have happened."This is interesting."The pot-bellied man chuckled as he stared at his phone."What is it?" Johnson asked, finally pulled from his thoughts.The man looked up at him."This actually concerns you."Johnson frowned."What now?""It's the manager of Empire Entertainment. He was arrested for forcing himself on on

He was one of the oldest men in their circle and one of the most dangerous. Unlike the others, who only hired killers and paid others to dirty their hands, Biden had once been a killer himself.For years, he had worked as a hitman.Only later, after a lucky opportunity in the drug trade, had he built himself into the wealthy criminal he was today. But no matter how rich he became, the look in his eyes never changed.He still had the eyes of a man who had spent half his life killing people."You are pointing a gun at me, Biden?" Johnson said, narrowing his eyes. "Do you know who I am? Just one of my boys can deal with you easily."Biden did not lower his weapon."And yet," he said calmly, "you couldn't deal with an ordinary artist even after wasting two girls."The room instantly became silent again.Johnson's expression twisted."Drop the act, Johnson," Biden continued. "Edward was clearly joking, and we all know it."His gaze hardened."Whatever happened to your last girl is your bus

Alex was alone in his room, the translucent system interface hovering before his eyes in the darkness."System, I don't want to wait anymore. Since my enemies are now even making assassination attempts, I think it's time to act. I have also gathered enough star points now," Alex said, his gaze narrowing as a cold light flashed in his eyes.Ding!(System can arrange the best way to eliminate your enemies if you pay two hundred credits. Or you can choose a method yourself, but I must warn you, choosing a method yourself is risky if it is not foolproof or if there is any mishap.)Alex fell silent and sank into thought. The room remained deathly quiet around him."System, what about the plans you arrange yourself? Do I have any assurance that they won't fail?" he asked after a long pause.Ding!(Hundred percent.)A slow smile spread across Alex's face."That's great then. Go ahead."Ding!(Elimination 1.0 activated. Execution will cost four thousand star points.)Alex's smile instantly fr

What surprised her was not who Nikita was, but the fact that she was standing so close to Jude, her arm linked with his as naturally as if she belonged there.Agnes looked carefully between them.Then she noticed the slight curve beneath Nikita's clothes.Her eyes widened.A thought immediately formed in her mind, but she quickly pushed it away before stepping forward with a warm smile.“Welcome, dear. I have always been a fan of your music.”Nikita smiled politely. “And I have heard a lot about you from Jude.”“Oh?” Agnes turned slowly toward her son and gave him a curious look.“Mom,” Jude said awkwardly, “this is Nikita.”“Yes, I know who she is,” Agnes said with a laugh. “Who wouldn't?”Jude rubbed the back of his neck nervously.“Uh... Mom.” He glanced at Nikita, then back at her. “She is my fiancée.”Agnes blinked.“And...” Jude continued, his voice growing even more awkward, “we are also expecting a child.”The room went completely silent.Agnes stared at him.Then she stared a

Without doubt, the girl who had falsely accused him of trying to force himself on her was not even the second blonde he had gone out with. The first girl he had ever actually dated had been blonde. Then after her, there had been two other blonde girls he had gone out with briefly, though neither of them had become anything serious.Trying to explain that all of that was somehow just a coincidence was not going to be easy.“I do not have an obsession with blondes!” he said quickly.“Really?”“Yes!”“You are sure?”“I am very sure!”“Then why were the first three girls you liked all blonde?”Jude opened his mouth.Then closed it again.He started sweating almost immediately.Nikita burst into laughter.This was revenge.Revenge for taking so long to propose even when she was already carrying his child.“It is alright, darling,” she said between laughs, stretching out her hand toward him. “I was joking. Look at you, you are sweating all over.”Jude let out a breath of relief so dramatic

The news that Alex had been shot and survived spread like wildfire. Fans all over the world knew about it almost immediately. But the most shocking part was that he had been discharged on the second day.According to the doctor, the bullet had not hit any vital organs. That news finally calmed the fans.He even went live with Caroline four days later to assure everyone he was completely fine and that his next show was not being cancelled.******“Darling, where are you?” Nikita called out tiredly as she stepped into the house.The fashion show had drained her completely. From morning until night she had been surrounded by designers, cameras, interviews, and endless problems. All day she had wanted Jude there with her, but he had been busy and could not come.Recently, the two of them had started appearing in public more often. Jude was hardly a nobody anymore. Every song he produced with Alex was dominating charts all over the world. With the streams exploding and the music videos sel
