2025-05-14 15:47:29Pain coursed through Liam’s body as he slowly regained consciousness.
His head throbbed, and his jaw ached from Logan’s final blow. The memory of what happened still terrified him. But at least, the nightmare was over—he had finally seen that masked devil off. Groggily sitting up, he noticed his phone buzzing nonstop—flooded with notifications. BANK ACCOUNT FROZEN DUE TO CREDIT ISSUES. ASSET SEIZED: SUNCREST ESTATE. ASSET SEIZED: HAYES YACHTS. ASSET SEIZED: LUX MOTORS. “No… no… this can’t be happening!” he bellowed, almost passing out on the spot. All his accounts frozen? Not a cent left? Even his villas and luxury vehicles gone? Ah!!!!Liam felt as if his heart were being torn apart again and again.
It must be that masked devil! Damn robber! He did it all!
Liam attempted to stand but collapsed hard against the wall. The sudden pain was unbearable! He wanted revenge but the pain reminded him how mysterious and powerful the masked man was. He didn’t dare. Looking in the mirror, Liam’s swollen face was a horrifying mess. How would he be able to show up like this at Rhine Group? Liam decided to ask for leave from Rhine Corporation’s vice president Claudia Rennard. He needed time to recover, both physically and mentally. He dialed the number. “Miss Rennard, I had an accident and got hurt. Can I take a few days off—” Before he could finish, the other end of the line burst out. “No! The new CEO is arriving tomorrow. All employees must report to work. If you can’t make it, then don’t bother coming back!” “But I—” Liam tried to explain, but the call was already cut off. Liam’s blood ran cold. With this new development, there was no way he could escape going to work. But then, coming to think of it, a new CEO meant new opportunities, right? Liam’s swollen eyes lit up with hope. Yeah, he had to show up, expecially now that he was injured. It would only prove his dedication, wouldn’t it? And as long as he could cling to the new CEO, he could get everything back! EVERYTHING! The next morning, Liam walked into the Rhine Corporation with a bruised jaw, a split lip, and sunglasses that barely concealed his black eye. Colleagues stared and laughed, pointing at him from the corners. Embarrassed and ashamed, he stormed through the lobby quickly, determined to run back to his office. He couldn’t avenge last night, but that bastard Logan and Charlotte ... they would pay. They would bear the brunt of his blazing wrath in place of that masked devil! He picked up his phone, ready to leverage the company’s influence to shut downand blacklist Charlotte’s company, Elysian Bloom. Meanwhile, a taxi stopped in front of Rhine Corporation. Logan stepped out, still wearing the plain clothes from yesterday after finishing up the chores at home and taking care of Charlotte and their daughter. He didn’t even have much time to change. As he entered the lobby, a familiar figure caught his eye—it was Ava Sullivan, Charlotte’s arrogant spoilt cousin. She was the daughter of Grandma Sullivan’s youngest son. Ever since Charlotte’s health and beauty company, Elysian Bloom, was on the brink of collapse, members of the Sullivan family had been circling around like vultures, eager to seize it for themselves. And this Ava Sullivan was one of them. Logan frowned instinctively. He didn’t want Ava to know he was here. Just as he was about to walk past — “Logan?” Dressed in a skin-tight red suit, Ava was basking in the attention of various elite nearby when her eyes caught a glimpse of a casually dressed man. Recognition sparked instantly. “Oh, look who shows up—the shameless, good-for-nothing bastard! What, no chores to do at home? What are you doing here at Rhine Corporation? Come to beg for scraps, ugh?" She chuckled, circled Logan like a predator eyeing prey.

Chapter 575
The control room felt colder.Not physically—but in a way that crept into the bones of everyone present. The confidence that once filled the space had thinned, replaced by something unfamiliar.Uncertainty.Sophia stood frozen, her eyes locked on the screen where the aftermath unfolded. Bodies of trained men—men they had trusted, men who had never failed before—were scattered across Logan’s living room like broken pieces of a plan that had gone terribly wrong.Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out.“This… this doesn’t make any sense…” she whispered.Beside her, Ava remained still.But unlike Sophia, her gaze wasn’t filled with disbelief.It was sharp.Focused.Hungry.On the screen, Logan stood in the center of the destruction.Uninjured.Untouched.His breathing was steady, his posture relaxed—as though everything that had just happened had barely required effort.Charlotte remained behind him, still shaken, but no longer panicking. Her eyes were fixed on Logan, a mix of aw

The city held its breath.From the rooftops to the dimly lit streets, an invisible net had been cast, tightening with every passing second. The Night Vipers had moved with precision, their network spreading like veins through the city, each contact alert, each operative in position.Inside the surveillance room, Sophia stood with her arms folded, her eyes glued to the screen before her. Multiple feeds flickered—Logan’s compound, nearby streets, hidden angles that revealed even the slightest movement.Ava stood beside her, calmer, but no less focused.“Positions?” Ava asked without taking her eyes off the screen.“Set,” Sophia replied immediately. “All entry points covered. No movement in or out without our knowledge.”A faint smile appeared on Ava’s lips. “Good.”One of the operatives in the room spoke up, adjusting her headset. “Team Alpha in position. Team Beta ready. All underworld units have confirmed readiness.”Sophia nodded slowly.“This time…” she muttered under her breath, “…

The room pulsed with a charged energy as the leader’s words settled into the minds of every Night Viper present. Each woman understood the weight of the assignment. Logan Brooks was not just any target—he was the Iron Hand, a man who had crushed every challenge, outwitted every enemy, and survived the impossible. And yet, now he had become their shared focus, a puzzle that required total coordination, precision, and ruthlessness.Sophia straightened her spine, feeling the familiar heat of determination rise in her chest. She glanced at Ava, whose eyes mirrored her own—sharp, calculating, and dangerously ambitious. The two of them were aligned in purpose, bound by the shared desire to see Logan defeated and the Collins heritage reclaimed. But Sophia knew better than to underestimate the man they were after. This wasn’t a simple physical conquest; it would require strategy, intelligence, and subtle manipulation. Logan wasn’t someone who could be crushed with brute force alone.The leade

The moment the call ended, a heavy silence settled over the Night Vipers’ meeting hall. It wasn’t the kind of silence that felt peaceful or natural—it was thick, almost suffocating, pressing down on everyone present. The faint, steady hum of the air conditioning was the only sound that lingered, low and constant, as though even the room itself had paused, waiting for the leader to speak and break the tension that had taken hold.She placed her phone gently on the polished table, the soft contact barely audible, yet it seemed to echo in the stillness. Her expression remained calm, composed as always, but there was a sharp edge beneath that composure, something cold and calculating that hinted at her dissatisfaction. Around her, every single woman leaned forward just slightly, their attention fully captured, anticipation written clearly across their faces.They wanted answers.They needed confirmation.Was Logan Brooks dead?Sophia sat upright, her posture rigid, her fingers clasped tig

The line rang.Once.Twice.Each sharp tone echoed faintly through the silent room, stretching the tension tighter with every passing second. No one moved. No one spoke. The atmosphere had shifted completely from earlier confidence to something far more fragile, suspended between anticipation and uncertainty.Then—Click.The call connected.“Hello…” a voice answered from the other end, low and cautious, as if the speaker already sensed the weight behind the call.The moment the leader heard it, she didn’t waste time on pleasantries or formalities. Her posture remained straight, her expression composed, her voice steady and authoritative.“This is the Night Vipers,” she said firmly. “I want a direct report on the operation you were assigned. Is Logan Brooks dead?”The question cut cleanly through the silence, direct and uncompromising.The room fell completely still.Every single woman leaned in slightly, their attention fixed entirely on the phone, their expressions sharpened with fo

Sophia sat upright in her seat, her posture poised and composed, her face glowing with unmistakable satisfaction. There was a quiet pride in the way she held herself, the kind that came from believing that a long-awaited victory was finally within reach. Beside her, Ava leaned back slightly, her body relaxed but her expression sharp, her lips curled into a knowing smirk that hinted at her confidence in the outcome of their actions. The cheers that had erupted moments earlier still lingered faintly in the room, echoing in the high ceilings and blending with the soft clinking of glasses and murmured conversations.“You’ve done well,” one of the women said, raising her glass slightly in their direction, her tone filled with approval.“Very well,” another added, nodding with a satisfied smile.Sophia inclined her head gracefully, acknowledging the praise with measured elegance. “Thank you,” she said, her voice steady, though there was no mistaking the pride beneath it. “We truly appreciat
