“Mr. Smith, looks like you’re hell-bent on covering up for your little lapdog, huh?” Alex’s eyes sharpened into slits, simmering with quiet menace.

Suddenly, everything clicked into place.

It became crystal clear why Hans had strutted around so arrogantly—he had a boss even more corrupt and vile pulling his strings.

Just when Alex believed he’d witnessed Hans at his absolute worst, George proved there was a far darker abyss lurking beneath.

Rotting trees always collapse from within, and Kingston Pharmaceuticals was clearly infested with poisonous maggots like George and Hans.

If these vermin were allowed to thrive unchecked, it would spell doom—not just for quality control, but for every honest worker within the company.

They sold medicine that wasn’t even approved for sale—just to stuff their own pockets.

They didn’t care if it ruined the reputation of Emerald Elixir.

All the millions poured into advertising, all the effort to build something exceptional—shattered by the greed of the

    “Fuck you, Alex!” Gilbert spat, blood dripping down his battered face.“You're just some washed-up military brat who's a bit stronger than average. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”“You should be,” Alex growled, stepping closer, eyes locked like steel traps.Gilbert sneered, arrogance masking his fear.“I have enough money to bury you alive. I'll pay anyone to slit your throat, and once you're gone, I'll finish Sophia and wipe out her whole family too.”Alex smiled coldly.“Money?” He raised an eyebrow. “Go ahead—try to move a single cent from your accounts. If you can, I'll walk right out of here.”Gilbert and Norman frantically scrambled to access his online banking, desperate for a lifeline.His fingers shook violently as he tapped the screen, praying for salvation.But the moment he saw every account frozen solid, his heart sank into an abyss.“Impossible,” Norman whispered, eyes wide with terror. “Everything’s blocked. All of our money... it’s frozen.”Gilbert’s expression shifte

    Gilbert stood frozen in shock, unable to comprehend seeing Alex standing boldly in front of him.“You worthless piece of trash!” Gilbert spat venomously. “What the hell are you doing here?”A guard raised his iron baton, ready to strike Gilbert down, but Alex swiftly raised a hand, halting the entire room with a silent command.Alex smirked coldly. “Why shouldn't I be here?”Gilbert’s mind spun wildly, still unable to grasp the situation unfolding before him.He glanced around, noticing dozens of eyes glaring at him with murderous intent, but he brushed it off arrogantly.To him, they were nothing more than ants—pitiful, powerless ants. Why fear a swarm of insects?He had stolen their family members, taken their daughters, even their women, and killed whoever he pleased—and they still couldn’t lay a finger on him.They were nothing. Powerless. Useless.Why fear insects that couldn’t bite?He was a Guise, untouchable. Practically invulnerable.“You insignificant pest still don’t realiz

    Paulo Guise’s name echoed through the grand hall.He stepped inside, expecting news of an inheritance—Norman Guise had said it was about the family estate.But instead of lawyers or documents, an old woman lunged at him from the shadows, her eyes burning with desperation."Paulo! How could you do this to me?" she screamed, voice ragged with pain.Paulo squinted at her, confused and irritated."Who the hell are you?" he spat, shoving her roughly aside.She hit the floor hard, sobbing uncontrollably.Her voice cracked with anguish, "I once had everything—a thriving career, a loving family!”“But you came along. You lied, promised me the world, made me your private secretary, treated me like a queen. I left my husband and kids for you, Paulo!"She scrambled to her feet and rushed him again.“Sorry, but I’ve never known a woman as repulsive as you,” Paulo sneered with disgust, slamming his palm into her face and knocking her to the ground again.“You swore I was your moon, your stars—prom

    "Forward!" barked the Paris security captain, gesturing sharply.At his signal, fifty elite soldiers surged forward, weapons raised and ready.They had stormed over the moment they heard trouble erupting in the governor's mansion, prepared for anything.Just as they approached the grand doors, they swung open with a haunting creak."No need to lurk around out there," called a cold, detached voice from within."Come on in."Inside, Alex sat calmly in a high-backed chair, his eyes glinting dangerously.Governor Norman Guise shouted frantically, "Kill him! Shoot him now!"Instantly, the elite soldiers stormed in, surrounding Alex and leveling their rifles straight at him.Alex glanced around casually, unfazed. "I wonder, are any of you ever doing dirty work for this corrupt governor?"Some of the elite soldiers, almost without thinking, shot quick, nervous glances at their comrades—the ones rumored to be doing the governor’s dirty work.It was a fleeting, instinctive reaction, nothing de

    “Sophia!” Alex burst into the room, his voice sharp with panic.“What the hell happened to you?”“Don’t come any closer!” she screamed, terror in her voice.“If Gilbert finds out you’re here—he’ll kill you!”Alex didn’t stop. He crossed the room in seconds, eyes burning, fury barely held in check.He swept her into his arms, holding her like something precious and broken, and carried her to the bed.“Put me down! Get out, Alex!” she sobbed, fighting against him with what little strength she had left.Her body shook with pain—real, raw pain—and her cries hit him like knives.Each tear was a trigger, every tremble fueled the fire inside him.“You’re hurt, Sophia. Let me help you.”“Don’t be kind to me,” she whispered through tears. “Just go. Please. You cannot be here.”But he wasn’t going anywhere.Alex’s eyes scanned her bruised arms, the swollen mess of her face, the blood trickling from a wound on her head.Rage and helplessness warred in his chest.Without a word, he pulled out his

    After a long, passionate night, Alex held Sophia close, her delicate fragrance intoxicating him.The warmth of her body nestled perfectly against his chest, stirring something deep within him.He gently kissed her forehead, and Sophia responded by pressing even closer, her breathing slow and peaceful.“Alex,” Sophia whispered softly, her voice thick with happiness and exhaustion.“You’re everything to me. I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you.”With those words, she drifted off into a tranquil sleep, completely unaware of the turmoil stirring inside him.Alex stared silently at Sophia’s serene face, his mind racing with thoughts and emotions.Without noticing, morning quietly crept into the room.Rising slowly from the bed, Alex stood over Sophia, captivated by her fragile beauty as she slept.His heart twisted painfully, and a bitter poem slipped softly from his lips."Meeting is hard, parting even harder — If we never met, there would be no yearning.If we never knew each other
