“The Zhao’s banquet?” The woman repeated with surprise. “Since when do the Zhao family associate themselves with men looking like this?”

“You got it wrong, he followed the Chen family into the banquet just for the free food,” Jake sneered.

“Oh I see. So he must be the infamous livein son-in-law of the Chen family that everyone says is mentally unstable,” she huffed. “Why are you still standing at the gates? The Sterling Corporation doesn’t hire just any one and certainly not people like you!”

    Alyssa immediately knelt and crawled towards him, with no concern for anything.“Riven, please. I know my mistakes already. I will transfer the money back to Young Master Fang, I will beg him to release Odessa. Please forgive him.”Riven’s brows furrowed.Young Master Fang?The Fang family was behind this too? He sneered inwardly. He was looking forward to asking them for an explanation on the ambush on the helmsman’s birthday but it’s seems the Fang family were too anxious for this demise.Riven looked down on Alyssa with an indifferent gaze.“Sins against my family aren’t tolerated. I have given you enough chances. Orion, get someone to take her away. From now on, I don’t want to see this person ever again!”It was then Alyssa realized Orion had been standing behind them. “Yes, Riven,” he replied, snapping his fingers and two men came in and without uttering a word, they dragged Alyssa away.Alyssa immediately began to thrash around in fear.“Riven, please! I have known my mistakes

    Meanwhile, a black SUV was weaving in and out of the evening rush hour traffic in Kairen City, zooming past countless cars and moving at top speed.In the driver’s seat, Riven had an icy cold gaze in his eyes.He had received news from Mavin about Odessa missing a meeting with the company’s shareholders which was unlike her.After dialing her phone constantly there was no response and the surveillance footage showed Odesssa leaving the company’s premises with Alyssa. Just now, the people sent by Orion and Mavin had finally found their whereabouts and it was a bar owned by the Xu family.With a muderous gaze in his eyes, the SUV slammed into the gates of the establishment with a loud bang!The gates fell off its hinges as the car rode over it. Before the men stationed by Cassian and Kane could react, Riven had already gotten out the car and barged into the club.Anyone who tried to stop him were kicked in the gut, flying few metres away. Just as Alyssa was ascending from the basement

    Odessa’s eyes widened in recognition as she stared at the men.One of them was Cassian Fang who was approaching her with a predatory look that sent shivers through her spine. The first time they met was in the Geng manor and he had gotten into a conflict with Riven even threatening to take revenge.Was this the revenge he had spoken about? “Well well,” Cassian chuckled lightly. “We meet again, Ms. Chen but unfortunately the circumstances are quite different.”Odessa glanced from him to her cousin, who was standing by the side seemingly enjoying her anguish.“Alyssa, do you know who this man is?”Alyssa scoffed. “Of course I do. This is the Fang’s heir, and the man next to him is the Xu’s heir. I wonder what you have done to gain their attention,” she said with envy in her eyes. “But as long as your life is ruined, I don’t care.”“Ms. Chen, you seem rather scared,” Cassian said with a tilt of his head. “Don’t worry, we might not harm you as long as you treat us well. Your husband ma

    Odessa’s heart tugged out in distress as she stared at her cousin. “Stand up, Alyssa. What’s going on? What happened to grandma?”“Grandma is very ill, Odessa,” Alyssa said, sobbing so much her words were coming out inaudible. “We don’t have any money left. We can’t even afford her treatment. Odessa, even if we have treated you badly in the past, we are truly sorry but don’t forsake us now.”Odessa swallowed slightly.“Forget about that Alyssa. Let’s sort out grandma’s issues first. Let’s go.”Alyssa’s face showed genuine happiness as she and Odessa hurried out of the company into the car she had came in.“The hospital isn’t far from here,” Alyssa muttered, staring at Odessa with gratitude. “Thank you so much for coming out to help us. Despite all that we have done to you, you still care about us…”She broke down again. Odessa patted her back comfortingly.“We are family no matter what, Alyssa. Old Lady Chen is my grandma and I won’t be able to look at myself in the mirror if I forsa

    “I’m sorry about my past actions towards you and I do hope we can move forward past it also the Geng family is always at your service.” Riven gave a nod and walked out of the room towards Orion’s room. The doctor had cleared him for discharge the next morning. “Mingye has no idea about the whereabouts of your sister,” Orion announced the moment Riven sat down. “I know…” “Well, what are you going to do now?” “We don’t have the manpower to storm into every place the Black Veil is situated. Although we now have the Deng and the Mori families backing us up, it doesn’t feel like enough.” Orion nodded. “You are right. The Black Veil is as old as the alliance between the sworn families, they will definitely have experts who would be hard to deal with if we go there uninvited and they might harm Asia in the process.” “But I won’t let the Fang family off!” Riven’s eyes darkened. “Because of them, you were hurt and even Odessa was almost on the verge of death.” Orion showed the same sent

    He ignored the security guards at the door and instructed a resident. “Run the pupil check again and get a portable EEG, now!”The nurse who had pushed the cold saline stood frozen by the door. "Doctor... should I remove the cooling blanket?""Yes! Remove it! Now!" Dr. Luo snapped. He looked at Riven. "What did you do?"“Jin Zhuan Huan Hun,” Riven simply responded.“Jin what?” Doctor Luo said with confusion.He and the nurses exchanged similar glances.“What the hell is that?”“Did he just say he used the Nine revolutions soul calling technique?” The resident doctor who Dr. Luo sent out a few minutes stared at Riven with astonishment.“Do you know about it?” Dr. Luo asked with a raised brow.“Yes. This was one of late Master Gu Pianfang’s forbidden techniques. It was one that was extremely impossible to learn and perfect.
