2026-09-07 07:01:04Nine million dollars for the land by the artificial lake? Lily Lohan was certain Robert Depp had lost his mind. That plot was worth at least twelve million dollars. A gap of three million. Why would anyone agree to sell at that price? This wasn't just difficult. It was impossible, a task designed to fail.
Her thoughts spiraled. She realized now that Robert had been doing this all along, piling impossible challenges on her desk one after another. The last time, he'd demanded she lead Mia

Chapter 096
In Liverton, at a bathhouse that kept its doors well away from the main streets, the air was thick with steam. It was so dense that it clung to the walls and pooled in the corners like fog, pressing down on everything and turning every breath into an effort. Somewhere in the back, water dripped in slow, rhythmic beats against tile.Black Dragon reclined in the center of the steam room, a towel draped loosely across his lap. Sweat poured down his skin in rivulets, tracing the edges of an elaborate Black Dragon tattoo that coiled across nearly every inch of his body. The ink covered so much of him that it was difficult to tell where flesh ended and art began. The Dragon's scales seemed to shift in the steam, its claws flexing with each slow breath he took. In the hazy heat, the effect was unsettling, almost monstrous. He looked less like a man and more like something ancient that had crawled out of myth and decided to stay.His eyes were closed, his breathing steady. He didn

Robert Depp glanced at Lily Lohan but said nothing. Instead, he turned to her parents, offering a small, respectful nod."Thank you both for everything these past few days. ""It's nothing. You helped us too," Austin Lohan said with a sigh, waving his hand dismissively. His weathered face carried the weight of recent events, lines deepening around his eyes. "What's done is done. Let's not dwell on it anymore."Lily had been on the verge of demanding Robert leave again, the words forming on her tongue, when she noticed him crouching beside her father. He was examining Austin's leg injury with careful attention, his hands moving with practiced precision. There was something almost reverent in the way he worked, a focused intensity that caught her off guard." Sir, when you forced yourself to stand at the hot pot restaurant, you put tremendous strain on your leg. The willpower you showed came at a cost," Robert said, his tone professional yet concerned. His fingers

Lily Lohan acted as though Robert Depp had not spoken at all. She strode forward with long, determined steps, her back straight and her jaw set, and the anger she had been holding in all morning simmered just beneath that composed surface. Why had Robert been so reckless? Why had he gone off to kill a man? If he had ended up behind bars for the rest of his life, her family would have been trapped in guilt forever, and there would have been nothing any of them could have done about it.She had spent the whole morning waiting, with her hands folded tight in her lap and her eyes fixed on the door, counting the minutes until it finally opened. She had sworn to herself that she would not cry, no matter what she saw on the other side, and she had kept that promise. Now her legs were still shaking, and the only way she knew how to hide it was to walk faster than anyone could follow.At least now Robert was safe.She could finally breathe again. They did not owe him anything

"Gentlemen, enjoy your drinks. I need to step out for a moment."Mr. Gold patted his two friends on the shoulders, then turned and led Lily Lohan out of the private room. The heavy door swung shut behind them, cutting off the laughter and the clink of glasses. The corridor was dim and quiet, and their footsteps rang loud against the marble floor.They stopped in the small garden just outside the club. The night air was cool, and the hedges still held the damp smell of an earlier rain. Lily folded her arms tightly over her chest and watched Mr. Gold's face, searching it for any sign of hope.Mr. Gold's expression was somber as he faced her. "Lily, I know about Robert Depp killing someone and being arrested. But the fact is, he was caught at the scene, with the evidence right there in front of everyone. There is very little I can do. I am only a man who knows people in certain circles, not someone who can make a case vanish overnight.""Mr. Gold, please." Lily's vo

Flames roared into the night sky outside the casino. Patrons and staff scattered in every direction, shouting and stumbling over one another in their panic. Within minutes, squad cars arrived, their sirens cutting through the chaos. The moment the officers stepped out of their vehicles, the casino manager bolted toward them like a drowning man lunging for a life preserver."It's him! That man right there!" The manager's voice cracked with terror as he thrust a shaking finger toward Robert Depp, who stood a short distance away, watching the scene with unsettling calm. "He murdered our boss and burned down the casino!"Several officers approached Robert immediately. One of them, a stern-faced man with graying temples, studied him for a moment before speaking. The flames reflected in the officer's eyes as he looked from the burning building to the calm man standing beside it. "Did you kill someone?"Robert didn't flinch. He didn't offer excuses or denials. He simply met

Travis Crowe had no idea what was happening downstairs. In his second-floor office, dim lighting cast ambiguous shadows across the room while the mingled scents of liquor and perfume hung thick in the air. His arms were draped around two women, utterly absorbed in his own indulgence, already contemplating what debauchery might come next.Then the door exploded inward with a single savage kick.The thunderous crash shattered the room's atmosphere of excess. Both women went white as sheets, their faces draining of color in an instant."Who the hell are you?" Travis roared, his pleasure violently interrupted. He shoved the women aside and snatched up a glass from the desk, jabbing it toward the doorway. "Get the hell out! Get out right now!"Robert Depp stood in the doorway, his gaze cutting through the chaos to settle directly on Travis Crowe. His eyes narrowed into slits, and the killing intent radiating from him was unmistakable, a palpable force that seemed to s
