"You want a divorce? Humph! I won't agree to it!"

Robert's smile froze instantly. He clearly hadn't expected Jasmine to reject him so decisively.

His expression darkened as he glared at her fiercely, only to hear her continue stubbornly.

"I didn't do anything wrong to you," Her reddened eyes trembled slightly, but her voice remained firm.

"So why should I divorce you just because you said so? I refuse!"

"Hehehe!" Robert laughed coldly. "I knew a wretched woman like you wouldn't agree so easily

  • C335: Audacious Criminal

    Yet Veyron remained completely calm. He stood there with a confident smile on his face, as though everything happening around him had absolutely nothing to do with him."It's okay." His calm response only made Iris more anxious. How could he possibly remain so relaxed at a time like this?Ryan had already called Thunderpeak for backup. If dozens of soldiers truly arrived, there was no telling how serious the situation would become.Veyron, however, looked as though he were merely watching an insignificant matter unfold. His response earned a mocking sneer from Victor.Was this bastard really not afraid? Or was he simply pretending to be calm? Victor couldn't help but believe it was the latter."Veyron, you're about to die, and you still want to pretend to be calm here?" He sneered. "Huh? You really don't know what's good for you!"Veyron calmly turned his gaze toward him. "Do you think I'm pretending?""Of course!" Victor immediately retorted. "Anyone with eyes can see that you're pr

  • C334: One Outcome—Death!

    "This...!" Everyone in the conference room was stunned as they watched Veyron and Ryan's heads collide.BANG!The impact was so violent that several people instinctively winced. Some even flinched and touched their own foreheads, as though they could feel the pain themselves.BUZZ!Ryan's entire body trembled. The impact was far more powerful than he had anticipated. His head had taken the full force of Veyron's counterattack, leaving him momentarily disoriented.DENG!He staggered backward.DENG!Another unsteady step followed.DENG!Then another. His vision blurred, and countless stars seemed to flash before his eyes. His head throbbed painfully, and his entire body swayed uncontrollably. For a moment, he could barely remain standing."Mr. Vescari!" Zavian and the others cried out in shock. They immediately rushed forward, afraid that Ryan might collapse."Are you okay?" Victor asked anxiously as he reached him first.Ryan couldn't answer immediately. He was still struggling to stea

  • C333: Iron Head

    SWOOSH!Ryan Vescari's palm shot toward Iris' face with frightening speed."Ah..." Iris' eyes widened. She had stepped forward only because she wanted to stop the situation from escalating. She never imagined that Ryan would actually attack her.The force behind his palm made her heart jump. Instinctively, she closed her eyes and braced herself for the impact. But the expected blow never came.Just as Ryan's palm was about to reach her face, a hand shot forward and seized his wrist.His expression changed instantly. But before he could react, a cold voice sounded beside him. "Who said you could hit my woman?"Veyron's voice was calm, but there was a terrifying edge beneath it. His eyes were cold and merciless as he stared directly at Ryan. The atmosphere around him seemed to change in an instant, and an invisible killing intent filled the air.Iris slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Veyron standing protectively in front of her, she was stunned. For a moment, she could only stare at

  • C332: One-Sided Accusations

    To their surprise, Veyron answered without hesitation. "It's mine. You stole it."Victor was momentarily caught off guard. For a second, he couldn't find the words to respond. Then his face twisted with rage."Nonsense!" He pointed accusingly at Veyron. "You're nothing but a useless ex-convict. How could someone like you possibly possess the token of Thunderpeak's Captain?"Victor quickly turned toward Ryan, as though afraid the latter might actually believe Veyron's accusation. "Mr. Ryan, don't listen to his nonsense. His mouth is filthy, and all he knows how to produce are lies!""Exactly!" Catherine immediately nodded in agreement. "The token belongs to us."Veyron let out a quiet chuckle and shook his head. What a pair of fools. They were the ones who had tried to frame him first, yet now they were desperately trying to maintain their lie.Ryan Vescari remained silent for a moment. His gaze swept over Veyron from head to toe. Then he glanced at Victor and Catherine.The contrast w

  • C331: Seek Justice On Your Behalf

    "Brother Ryan, you finally came!" Zavian West hurried forward, his swollen and bruised face filled with grievance. "You must help us seek justice.""Mr. Zavian." Ryan Vescari glanced at him curiously before sweeping his gaze across the conference room. "Which person has the token?""It's Mr. Blackwell." Zavian immediately pointed toward Victor. "Mr. Blackwell, please show Brother Ryan the token.""Yes." Victor nodded quickly. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small, hand-sized jade. Then he stepped forward and respectfully handed it to Ryan.Ryan accepted the jade. At first, his expression was calm. He turned the token over in his hand and carefully examined its surface, paying particular attention to the familiar seal engraved into it. A few seconds later, his expression changed drastically."This... This..." His eyes widened. He stared at the jade in disbelief before looking up at Victor. His voice was filled with obvious shock "This belongs to the Captain!"He stepped c

  • C330: Even If It's A Dragon

    Because Victor clearly believed the jade token belonged to Iris, he assumed Veyron had no idea what Thunderpeak was or just how terrifying its reputation could be.After all, what could a useless ex-convict possibly be doing with such an important token?And if Iris had known the true value of the jade, why would she have handled it so carelessly that it ended up near the shoe cabinet?Victor had convinced himself that everything made sense. Meanwhile, Iris was far from calm."Veyron..." She tugged lightly at his sleeve, her beautiful face filled with worry. "What do we do now? I've heard of the legendary Thunderpeak before."She lowered her voice and continued, "Their combat and martial arts skills are terrifying. They're often deployed by the Meridian army for extremely important missions, and I've heard they've never failed a mission."The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. But there was also something else that bothered her.Why had she never heard of the Blac
