Wendy had never felt Seth's anger like this before. Even through the phone, it scared her.She did not waste a second after getting the hint from Seth and got right to work.Once he hung up, Seth took care of Elaine's wounds.She was lucky. It was just the shockwave that got her, so her injuries were nothing serious.She came to a few minutes later but looked totally lost. "What happened? I heard..."Seth filled her in, his face dark with a rage he had never felt before.Whoever was behind this, Seth was going to make them pay.Elaine's eyes filled with tears after hearing it all. "That poor woman! She has a little sister. What's going to happen to her..."Seth said in a low voice, "Don't worry. I've got people on it. They'll take care of everything."Just then, Elaine turned on the TV. There it was—the explosion, all over the news."Breaking news from our station. The explosion in the neighborhood was no accident. It was a deliberate act of terror. The reason behind this hei
The little girl hit the ground hard.The tough guys were looking downright scary."Where's your sister, you little troublemaker? Did she take off on her own?""Call her back now. It's time to cough up this month's rent."The little girl's face was pale, her body skinny from not getting enough to eat.Her eyes were bright, like they were laughing at the grimy world around her.Even after being slammed to the ground, she did not cry or throw a tantrum. She just whispered, "Please, sirs, my sister will be back any minute. Can you please come back later?""Come back later? Yeah, right!" One of the brutes, with a temper like a ticking bomb, bellowed, "If we don't get the cash today, I'm tossing you off the roof!"The little girl hung her head, staying quiet.Life had forced her to grow up way too fast.The other tough guy, irked by her silence, snarled. "Playing the pity card, are you? Think I'm playing games? First, I'll deal with you. Then, it's your sister's turn to pay up, one
The house was old. There were several holes in the windows that had been patched with newspapers. The place would definitely get extremely cold when the winter winds blew in. There was hardly any furniture in the house, just a few worn-out stools, a small table, and a kettle. Apart from that, there was nothing else.Elaine's eyes immediately turned red at the scene. She felt both heartbroken and angry. She crouched down and hugged Callista. "Little girl, do you live in such a place? It must be very cold to sleep here during winter."Despite growing up in an environment like this, Callista was still an optimistic girl. She shook her head. "No, I sleep with my sister. She's warm."Speaking of her sister, Callista's eyes lit up. Her sister was her rock and motivation to keep going.Elaine’s mouth opened, but she was unsure how to tell her that her sister was no longer around. It would be too cruel for the little girl.Seth sighed and walked behind Callista, gently tapping her neck.
"According to the information we have now, Cressida did get in contact with someone. That person died a few days ago, but I discovered they had connections with a wealthy heir in Imperial City named Alex," Wendy reported."Alex!" Seth's gaze turned cold. "It's him!"The image of the seemingly impulsive young man flashed in his mind."So, he set up this whole play and was waiting for me to fall for it!" Seth had miscalculated this time. His underestimation of Alex had resulted in the tragic deaths of so many innocent people."Where is he now?" Seth asked."He's at his home in the west of the city. The address is..."Seth noted the address and then instructed, "Withdraw all personnel. Focus on protecting my people and be cautious about your own safety.""Yes!"Elaine carried the freshly bathed Callista into Seth's bedroom. The little girl was dressed in a white dress and sound asleep. She looked like a cute little princess.Seth asked Elaine to leave the room first and then clos
Daisy stood up while adjusting her clothes. "It's so hot. Alex, want to take a shower together?" She had an alluring figure, a beautiful face, and was very open-minded. She was a true seductress. Alex was tempted, but just then, they heard a noise outside.All three of their expressions turned serious as they rushed to the window to look down. Their bodyguards were all lying on the ground outside."Who is it? How could someone take out all of our people in such a short time?"Their expressions were horrified as they looked around, but they could not see the enemy. When they turned back, they were almost scared out of their wits.Seth was sitting in the seats they had just occupied, staring at them with cold eyes."Seth!""How is this possible? You're completely unharmed!""Are you even human?"All three of them were shocked. When Alex had explosives implanted in Cressida's body, he had also added a listening device.That was why he only detonated the explosives after confirmin
Alex endured the intense pain in his hand and pleaded with Seth for mercy, "I've removed them all. Please spare my life."Seth could sense that he was not lying. He crouched down and patted his face. "I can see you have great ambitions. You've made quite a few arrangements over the years. Can you show them to me?"Alex, with a mournful expression, said, "I... I don't have... anything!"Smiling, Seth crushed the bones of his other hand. "Think carefully. Do you really not have anything?”"I do, I do! There's a computer in my study that has never been connected to the internet. The password is the first 20 digits of pi."Seth floated up to the second floor, using his psychic ability to pinpoint the exact room before entering it. The three individuals were so intimidated that they just stayed put where they were.Seth found the computer Alex mentioned. After entering the password and booting it up, he saw the detailed business plans and the layouts Alex had made in various key secto
Like two wild beasts that had lost control, they fought using their teeth and nails. They bit and tore at each other in the most primitive ways.This scene terrified Alex, who continuously hit his head on the ground in front of Seth. Eventually, his snot and tears covered the ground. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please give me a way out. I promise to do good deeds every day to atone for my actions."He had never experienced such fear and despair before. He had resorted to continuous head-banging in a desperate attempt to secure a slim chance of survival.Seth's gaze remained cold as he continued to be unmoved. After a few minutes, Daisy crawled to Seth while covered in blood. Her expression was submissive, like a dog wagging its tail. She said, "Sir, I won. May I ask what's next?"Seth pointed at Alex and said, "Mercenaries like you are no strangers to torturing people. Make sure you keep him busy for an hour continuously."Killing him directly would be too easy. Seth wanted Alex to e
"Why are you the only one here?" A burly man with a scruffy beard approached Daisy and asked in a low voice.Daisy replied, "Smith went to have fun with some women. Besides, receiving your lot isn't that big of a big deal."The burly man chuckled. "I heard Longford women are very delicate. You can give them a slight pinch and their skin would break. I want to experience it later.”Daisy remained unfazed. "What's the big deal? We can go to a bar later. The target is already heavily injured, so it's not a problem."The burly man shook his head. "What's the point of messing around with those worn-out women at the bars? It's more fun to catch some innocent ones and just kill them after I’m done. That feels much better."Daisy cautioned in a low voice, "This is Longford, not Apedom. Be careful here."The burly man just shrugged her off. "So what? The Blood Wolf Mercenary Group fears nothing!"Once, Daisy had the same mindset, but it shattered after her encounter with Seth. She no lon
