Chapter 543
Renata walked forward despite the pain burning through her body. Each step sent a sharp ache through her hips, but she didn’t slow down. She stared straight into the eyes of the young man who had tried to rape her.“Remember my face,” she said coldly. “Remember what you tried to do to me.”She drove the knife into another man’s stomach.“This is the karma you earned.”She moved down the line, stabbing them one by one. Her voice stayed steady, flat, terrifying.“Remember the price of touching a duke’s daughter.”“Please—please,” one man sobbed, his voice breaking. “I don’t want to die.”Renata’s eyes filled with tears, but her hand didn’t shake.“Neither do I,” she said quietly. “I didn’t want to die either. But you forced your hands on me. You chose this first. I’m only finishing it.”Another man was stabbed. None of them could move. An invisible pressure wrapped around their bodies, paralyzing them with pure fear—Alex’s unseen force holding every one of them completely still.“No—ple

There is a common saying that women’s preferences often change with age.In their late teens and early twenties, many women focus on attraction and excitement. Looks, confidence, and charm matter most.In their twenties to early thirties, attraction is still important, but money, stability, and future plans start to matter more.In their thirties to early forties, many women value a calm and stable life. Kindness, reliability, and emotional support become more important than wealth or status.From the forties onward, companionship matters most. Many women want a caring, loyal partner to share life with peacefully.Men, however, are a different species entirely.Their preferences come with a lifetime subscription and no updates.In their early twenties, they like young and beautiful women.In their thirties, nothing changes. In their forties, still the same.In their fifties? No difference.And right up until the day they die, many men are still looking at the same type and saying, Yep

The young man staggered back, his vision spinning. The bottle smash had rattled his skull. Blood poured down his face, blurring his sight.He stumbled like a drunk, crashing into nearby tables. Wine glasses shattered. Bottles tipped and rolled. Plates clattered to the floor. Then his legs gave out, and he collapsed hard onto the tiles.Gasps rippled through the restaurant.Gerhard stepped forward and glared down at him. Blood soaked the young man’s hair, dripping onto the floor. Gerhard’s lips curled into a vicious sneer.“Get lost,” he growled coldly, “or you’ll die right here.”The young man groaned and forced himself up, swaying as he pressed a trembling hand against his bleeding head. His eyes burned with rage as he locked onto Gerhard.“Alright, tough guy,” he spat through clenched teeth. “Just wait. Let’s see if you can survive tonight.”With unsteady steps, he turned and staggered toward the exit, leaving a trail of red behind him.“Fucking loser,” Gerhard scoffed. “Who does he

Gerhard’s face lit up as he led her to one of Winchester’s most famous bistros. The place was elegant and warm, wrapped in soft lighting and low, murmuring conversations.They had barely taken their seats when the dishes began arriving, one after another, perfectly arranged.Gerhard signaled the waiter. “A bottle of your finest red wine.”Then he turned to Renata with a polished smile. “It’s such a happy day. You’ve been discharged. We should drink to celebrate.”Renata raised her hand immediately. “I’ll pass.”“No can do!” Gerhard blurted out, his voice sharp and impatient.His disappointment was instant. His plan was obvious—get her drunk, loosen her guard, find an opening. But Renata shut him down without hesitation.“I’m really sorry, Gerha

Alex was at home when Oskar called.“Sir,” Oskar said. “How do you want to proceed with Anton Dunkel?”Alex lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. He thought for a moment. “He wanted me dead over a cheap money scam involving Leonora,” he said flatly. “But we’re not going to kill him over something that small, are we?”“No, sir,” Oskar replied. “We’ll drain him dry. Every last cent. Then we take over all his land.”Alex’s expression hardened. “Marquis Anton Dunkel controls a major state. It borders Xia territory. Do you really think we can handle it?”“Of course we can,” Oskar said without hesitation. “Our underground network includes many Xia people who are still deeply connected to Xia.”“They’re ready to take any position we give them. They know the terrain, the systems, and the routes. Their big families are there—and to them, family is everything. They’ll handle it perfectly.”Alex fell silent. He had money—more than enough—but in Prussia, money alone didn’t equal power.Ta

The gunshot cracked through the hall.Everyone saw it.The red-haired man’s head snapped back as blood sprayed the air. His body dropped before anyone could even scream.What shocked the crowd even more—Kaltmann was shot too.Leon Zhao’s bullet tore straight through Kaltmann’s body. A dark hole bloomed in his chest. Kaltmann staggered, eyes wide, staring at Anton in pure disbelief.“You… you… how dare—”Bang.Leon Zhao fired again. This time, straight through Kaltmann’s head.The old man collapsed lifelessly to the floor.Leonora stood abruptly, her chair scraping loudly. She stared at Leon Zhao, fury burning in her eyes.“How dare you open fire in this hall?”Leon Zhao smiled calmly, as if he had merely corrected a mistake.“I never let people who try to scam me walk away alive,” he said. “And that bastard even dared to accuse my Master of helping him. What kind of poisonous snake would do that? I had to kill him.”“Wonderful,” Alex said. He clapped slowly, mockingly. The sound echoe
