Chapter 205
After making sure everything at the orphanage was finally in order, Carl said his goodbyes with Andrea and the staff.They headed straight to a nearby restaurant—Andrea insisted. She wanted to talk to Carl. Truth be told, she still didn’t fully trust him. More than that, he had crossed a line with her first, and no matter how much he’d helped, she couldn’t ignore that fact. She still didn’t know what his true intentions were.“Let me get this straight, Mister,” Andrea began, folding her arms. “You don’t have to take responsibility just because—”She stopped mid-sentence and took a deep breath.Carl looked at her calmly.“I should,” he said honestly. “But I’m here because of work, Princess.”Andrea rolled her eyes hard.“Can you stop calling me that?”“But you are—”Andrea flicked her fingers toward him, cutting him off. Carl immediately shut his mouth.She’s even fiercer than Sophia, Carl thoug

Jude turned toward the voice, irritation flashing across his face.“And who the hell are you?” he sneered.Carl stepped forward at last, his hands slipping casually out of his pockets. His expression was calm—too calm. The kind that made seasoned fighters uneasy.“I already told you,” Carl said evenly. “Let. Her. Go.”Jude laughed and tightened his grip on Andrea’s arm.“You think one man can stop us? Do you have any idea who you’re dealing with?”Carl tilted his head slightly, eyes darkening.“No,” he replied. “But I know one thing.”Before Jude could react—Bang.Carl’s fist slammed straight into Jude’s jaw.The impact sent Jude flying backward, crashing into two of his own men. Andrea stumbled as Carl pulled her away from them in one smooth motion, placing her behind him.“Stay there,” Carl said without looking back.Everything exploded at once.The gangst
Chapter 203
Outside the orphanage, men were already scattered across the grounds—the gang Madam Lee had borrowed money from. Each of them carried clubs and metal rods, as if they were storming an enemy territory rather than collecting a debt.Carl noticed them immediately. His brows furrowed, his body instinctively shifting into a guarded stance.Madam Lee and several staff members stepped outside, while the others hurried the children back into the building.Despite the staff trying to stop her, Andrea followed them out.“Madam Lee… it’s your due today,” one man said lazily. He held a cigarette between his fingers, taking slow drags as smoke curled into the air.Madam Lee stepped forward, forcing a nervous smile.“M-Mr. Jude, we don’t have the money yet. Could you please give us more time?” she pleaded.Jude let out a harsh, manic laugh.“What did you just say?” he sneered. “Are you really looking down on me, Mad
Chapter 202
Carl followed Andrea in silence.He still couldn’t understand why the crown princess of Brightskia was traveling alone in Armenia. Given her status, danger followed her like a shadow. Letting her roam without proper security was reckless.It was practically suicide.Andrea got into a car. Carl followed in another vehicle, keeping a careful distance.They stopped in front of an orphanage.Carl studied the building, and for a brief moment, something stirred in his chest.The place felt… familiar. Uncomfortably so.Andrea went straight inside the orphanage. The staff immediately welcomed her with warm smiles.“Welcome to our orphanage, Princess Andrea!”Andrea gave them a modest smile.This place held a special place in her heart.“Thank you,” she said gently. “I brought gifts for the children. Please get them from the car.”The staff nodded and headed outside while Andrea contin
Chapter 201
Carl stepped out of the hotel after getting himself together.He never got the chance to speak to Andrea again. After getting dressed, she had simply disappeared without a word. He let her go—after all, that was exactly what she wanted. What mattered to him was that he had saved her.He had already packed his things. There was nothing left for him to do in Armenia, so he planned to return to Castrovia and wait for Jade and Red’s report.But just as he was about to flag down a car, his phone rang.Carl paused and answered.“Red. What is it?”“Boss, an urgent mission just came in. Can you take it?”Carl frowned. It had been a long time since they stopped accepting missions.“What do you mean? Someone called?”“Yes, Boss.”“Did you accept it?”There was a long pause before Red answered.“Uh… yes.”Carl sighed. “You know we already have a mission. And this one is importan
Chapter 200
The young woman let out a piercing scream.Andrea Sinclair—a crown princess.And now… she had slept with a complete stranger.“I’m doomed! This can’t be happening!” she cried, her heart pounding so violently it felt like it would burst out of her chest.The door suddenly swung open.Andrea screamed again, instinctively hugging herself when she saw Carl standing there. He was wearing only a pair of pants, his upper body bare. His hair was still wet, as if he had just stepped out of the shower, towel slung over his shoulder.“What’s wrong?” Carl asked, instantly alert. “Is there an enemy?”Andrea’s eyes blazed.“You are the enemy!” she snapped. “What did you do to me?!”Regret slammed into her chest.She couldn’t believe she had trusted him last night—trusted him to save her—only to end up being violated by the very man who claimed to help her.Carl blinked in confusion.“Huh?
