"Well", Helena sat, then turned to Whitmore. “If you have something to tell her, you can say it to me. My stepdaughter is busy.”
Whitmore was done playing nice. She turned to Vivian. “You know I can make things worse for you in Aurion, don't you? Your family's dyi

“I swear on my honour. I won't lie to you, master. Not you.”Toga said passionately when Adrian asked if he was telling the truth.He immediately showed him the command.An untraceable phone number and a crypto account.Yet, Adrian knew nothing was truly untraceable.You only needed to find the right pattern. Whoever was behind this was clever.But clever people often had one problem.They become too cocky.This perpetrator had things planned in advance.A sure move to lead Adrian on a goose chase.Once again, Adrian doubted the lousy Juliet had enough spunk for such an elaborate plan.Still, he refused to strike anything out without proof.“I'll overlook your rudeness… this time,” he said to Toga.The gang leader gaped in shock and gratitude.“I… I can go? No punishment?” he asked to be sure.Toga knew a man capable of saving him from an elaborate snare could just as easily put him in an even bigger one. Adrian merely nodded. “This time. Take your men and leave.”“Boys, show gratit

A man of his prowess Toga had never seen.At a time when none of his underworld connections could save him from the murder charges meant to put him away for years, a chance meeting with the young man had saved him.Many might see Adrian as an ordinary-looking young man who was barely a proper adult when they first met.Toga knew they would be sorely wrong.And that was even years ago.His men, most of whom had never been in the elite circle, might be foolish enough not to recognise Adrian.But when Toga had seen the billboards and news, he had recognised Adrian.His features had changed slightly, but Toga would never forget the young m

A boisterous voice rang through the building.“I gave the command. How dare you touch my men on my turf?!”The man on the ground jerked his gaze towards the door.His eyes widened with hope, and he immediately crawled towards the door.“Thank God you are here, boss. He’s a monster. You need to teach him a lesson.”“Get off the floor, you fool!”“Get off me!”Adrian slowly turned around at the familiar voice.The middle-aged man entering the restaurant wore a black leather jacket, the Crescent Fang tattoo vividly displayed in all its crimson glory.His fingers were adorned with big-rock rings, each bearing a frightening emblem.The head of his cane was carved into a hissing snake, its fang jutting out menacingly.Behind him were twenty men, all bearing the Crescent Fang tattoo.They looked more volatile than the men already inside, armed with baseball bats, iron rods and various weapons.They immediately grabbed Adrian’s men.Their leader approached Adrian. “I want to see the fool who

Adrian knew why.Not only did the gang members look like they could eat the guards for breakfast, but they also outnumbered them.Twelve to ten.“Yeah? Who will stop us?”One of the gang members sneered as he approached the lead guard.“You?”He swung his beefy fist at the guard.Adrian moved so fast he was a blur.Tonk!The fist smashed uselessly into his palm.The gang members gaped, even as Adrian’s men surged behind him."Sir".“Step back!” Adrian ordered.The guards exchanged worried glances, but they knew better than to flout their master’s command.The man whose hand was still trapped in Adrian’s tried to jerk it back. No such luck.His eyes widened. How could such a lanky man possess such strength?His comrade snorted.“What? You will take us on? By yourself.”“You obviously need some lessons. Who better to teach you than me?” Adrian responded calmly.The men erupted into laughter once again.The one who had been writhing from hot water snarled, “Leave him to me! By the time

Adrian soon arrived at the bistro.Instinct told him to wait for the guards he sent for, but he didn’t want Juliet to escape again.Adrian could no longer ignore what stared him right in the face.He had thought Juliet incapable of such callousness, but now she was even inviting him to this suspicious spot?Something was amiss.Crypta Eats was small and elegant, with warm lights, wooden tables and exposed brick walls.Soft jazz played in the background, mingling with the smell of coffee and freshly baked bread. “Welcome. How may I help you?” A young man in a monogrammed apron approached him.Adrian’s eyes were already scanning the bistro interior.Crypta Eats looked and smelled like a granny’s cosy corner.But the faces before him belonged to a biker’s club.Buff men with tattoos snaking over their exposed arms and necks stared at Adrian from their tables.A warning bell rang in his head as he met their hard, unfriendly faces.“Sir?” the waiter prompted, waiting for an answer.Juliet

Then the letters started fading.“What? What is…?”Right before everybody’s eyes, the letters were gone, leaving only the charred side of the car.As the men murmured in wonder, Adrian could only think of one thing.The mechanism used was so much like what he had used with Scott.Scott?It can't be.He dismissed the thought almost immediately.He was more than sure that Scott never knew he was behind the writings.Still, he made a call to the prison.He got his answers in minutes.Scott had neither received a visitor nor made any calls in the past month.Which left his main question unanswered.“Who is behind this?”Whoever it was had access to the car at a point, but it doesn't necessarily mean they were currently in the vicinity.Soon, the car remnant was towed away.The officers soon left after another promise, too.The faded letters made them even more suspicious now.Coupled with the other paper that Adrian had been careful not to touch, they were confident they had enough to nab
