2026-07-28 23:10:02The humiliation became louder with every ticking second.
"Time up!" The chief receptionist snapped and spun to the Securities. "Crush his leg and drag him out of this place!" The Securities stood straighter and moved to carry out the command. They gripped their baton tightly, ready to strike. Derogatory comments whired in the air. "Teach him a lesson he'll never forget!" "Let him crawl out with crippled." "Knock some senses into his dumb skull. A nobody trying to ruin the reputation of Mrs. Carrington didn't deserve Mercy." Suddenly, the door of the room burst open with a slam against the the wall. Heads turned in the direction, conversations reduced, everyone's gaze landed on the two women who had just arrived at the lobby. Gasps rippled through the air. One man pointed his trembling finger, his eyes wide. "Isn't that Mrs. Carrington? I'm seeing her physical for the first time! Wow, she's even more beautiful in person." "Mrs. Carrington is here? What she doing here. She was once one of the most beautiful young bachelorette in Valeria before she got married. She's still looking gorgeous." Another woman said. The lobby paused to stare with shock in their expression, especially some staff employees— some of them were seeing her for the first time since they got employed at the hospital. Mrs. Carrington doesn't use the door whenever she comes around to supervise the company—Channel is by airborne, private helicopter at the helipad at the top of the building. Her presence radiated an aura of command without trying. Her gaze landed on Kade at the front of the receptionist desk. "That braggart is finished!" "Mrs. Carrington will have no Mercy on him for this insult!" "It's a huge embarrassment for the Carrington family for a common street beggar to think he has an entitlement to Elena Carrington." The staff employees sneaked back to their duty, even the securities stiffened in place. Contrary, the Chief receptionist stepped forward confidently to welcome Mrs. Carrington with a wide exciting smile. "What is going on here?" Mrs. Carrington toned, her voice low, masked with restrained anger. "Mrs. Carrington it's good to see you in person." The chief receptionist stepped gushed. Her finger snapped at Kade accusingly. "This young man came here to insult you, and he even threatened to have me fired like he employs me here. That is a challenge to your authority. I deeply apologize for bringing you down because of this minor issue, Ma. I was about to remove the nuisance..." The receptionist thought it was because of her Mrs. Carrington came down. "Nuisance?" Mrs. Carrington growled, her voice laced with anger she was struggling to control. Her expression was calm but the anger burning inside has the potential to burn down an estate. Her voice came out trembling like something inside was falling apart. "Did you know who the man you just called a Nuisance is?" Yet, the Chief receptionist was unaware of the trouble that was about to happen to her. The chief receptionist cast a disdainful back at Kade. "You see what you've caused? If you make Mrs. Carrington to get angry at me, I swear I'll kill you.." She whispered to Kade's hearing only, but Mrs. Carrington heard her. "You will do what?" He voice spiked, unable to suppress the anger she was holding back anymore. Her arm flew out next, cutting through the air like a whip. Mrs. Carrington's palm connected cleanly with her face, the impact echoed off the wall like thunderclap. The lobby gasped in shock.

Elijah Drek, the man who had never been disturbed by Westgate's insecurity and unrest rose to his feet and walked to the mirror hanging on the wall of his office. He adjusted his collar and smoothen out every little wrinkle on his uninform. He adjusted his badge with careful practice."I should appear clean to the public and.." He paused, intentionally dropping his expression to a sympathetic one. He laughed sharply in self-amusement, his belly bouncing against his uniform. "Hehehe...it suits me perfectly. The public will believe I'm sympathetic. They'll be moved by my act." A sharp knock came on his door. He already knew who it was before he said, "Come in."The young officer who called earlier walked in with a printed paper.

CHAPTER 35: THE PROTESTS
The metropolitan station buzzed with the usual restless rhythm: Uniformed police men walked in and out of the place carrying out their duties, vehicles rolled to a stop outside, policemen pushing out suspects in cuffs for investigation.The inside of the stations was no different. The smell of coffee and freshly printed report papers stayed in the air, quiet conversations hummed in the air amidst duty discharge.Behind the front desk, a heavy-bellied officer sat behind with a permanent scowl on his face while speaking to a matured woman."The name of the girl your mentioned is not found in our database, Madam," the officer said, his voice rude. "You common citizens just waltz in here to make empty reports!" The woman, tears rolling down to her cheek, face streaked with sweat and dirt held the officers's hand desperately."I'm not lying, officer...my daughter..she's missing..." Her voice cracked with emotions that didn't even move the officer a bit. Instead, it got him even more infur
CHAPTER 34: HELP ME TAKE BACK EVERYTHING
Kade walked over to Sophia, his expression softened unlike the man she witnessed handicapped about twenty men a few minutes ago, this wasn't the man who had dodged bullets unscathed— he was the same man but with the face of CARE."We should leave now." Kade stretched a hand to her as he said softly. Sophia grabbed his hand slowly, still holding his gaze. "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Kade smiled lightly. "I'm fine." He simply said. "Are you sure?" She was skeptical, her eyes roaming over his body, searching for a tear, a mark, any injury but what she was was dust and blood on his vest, and none of it belonged to him. "Absolutely." He repeated calmly. "I told you it was nothing to worry about. This is nothing compared to what I faced while I was in prison."Sophia nodded gently. Then her eyes darted to the backstage door. "There are other girls in a room at the back. We should save them too and hand them over to the police for identification."Kade looked in the direction
CHAPTER 33: JACK MOORE BROKEN
Kade tilted his head to the side slightly, his expression cold and unreadable."Tell me," He held Jack's gaze, "where are the men you wanted to buy with your money to fight me? Can they protect you now?" He raised his hand up and struck Jack in the face. The impact echoed across the room, the Bodyguards flinched, gripping their weapons tightly unsure if they should open fire. Kade had completely shield himself with Jack's body and any mistake from the men, Jack would be the one to fall from their bullets.The slap snapped Jack's face to the side. His cheek bloated with red prints of fingers across his face. "Don't..don't shoot. " He croaked, his throat burning, his face searing like meat under heat. Kade raised his hand again and struck him in the face. Blood thickened on his cheek, finger imprinted painfully on his flesh. "I could have died in that place. You think the best way to latch onto a woman is by burying another man behind Bar? You're dumb. There is no forgiveness for y
CHAPTER 32: UNTOUCHABLE
"What? This man is courting death!" "He just called Crusher a mosquito? He's stupid! Crusher will grind his bones to dust." The murmuring continued to ripple across the room while Crusher's eyes darkened like a storm cloud. "You arrogant bastard!" He spat. "Get ready to die!!!" He barrelled towards Kade like a truck, his feets hammering the concrete and leaving craters behind. "This is it. We're not going to survive this." Sophia's heart jumped to her throat as panic hit her like something physical.The hall leaned in, expecting grotesque.Jack dropped his leg and stretched forward slightly, a cruel anticipating smirk spreading to a grin across his greasly face. "Break him." Kade didn't even move, his expression remained unreadably cold. "Diee!!!!" Crusher roared and threw a devastating punch at him, shockwave blasting around his fist, coming straight to demolish Kade. At the last second, Kade raised his hand— one hand and caught Crusher fist in his grip. The impact echoed sh
CHAPTER 31: CRUSHER
Jack shifted his gaze to Thompson, wreck and motionless on the floor, his blood pooled beneath his body.He looked back to Kade with shock he couldn't hide. He knew the man standing before him wasn't the man they sent to prison five years ago. As well, he was aware that prison, especially Deadmoo would either break people or forge them into something dangerous. And Kade coming out from that terrifying place meant he's no more ordinary.Jack took one step forward. The shock in his eyes earlier vanished, replaced with cold amusement. "You're different now. Not many people can survive that hell of a place, but brute strength doesn't make you king." Jack said unhurriedly, crossing his hands behind his back in calm composure. "In this world, money rules over strength. So, your strength is nothing because I have men who are times ten powerful than you are." Kade scoffed, a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips."You're still not understanding it, do you?" He said, "that your money,
