2026-02-15 07:40:38A sudden idea and solution flickered in his thoughts.
He said to Lynda, “In that case, drive me to the Woods Mansion.”
“Isn’t that where your ex lives?” Aileen asked.
“It is. But I got a plan.” Chris said with a smile on his face.
Then he continued, “I’m going to need a little favor from you.”
The two girls looked at him suspiciously.
“What help?” Lynda asked first.
“Can you hook me up with some fake TNT props?”
“What!?” the two ladies exclaimed.
“If I may ask, for what?” Aileen asked
“Bring your ears, ladies.” Chris said as he smiled.
Then he whispered something into their ears.
The two of them gasped.
“This new underboss is one smart guy. I like him already.” Aileen muttered to herself.
Lynda drove to the Woods family mansion in no time.
As he collected the gun from them, he smiled.
“Thanks for your help, ladies. I’ll see you later.” Chris said as he waved at them.
“Goodluck, boss.” They said to him happily.
As Chris walked into the Woods mansion, the first person he saw was Veronica.
She had just finished having her bath and was tying her bathrobe well when she looked up to see Chris.
She gasped in shock, “Oh!”
She turned her back towards him.
Chris’s Rom eyes activated and he was shocked with what wonders the eyes could see
“Wait! I can see through her clothes?” he asked himself.
“The power of the eyes of Rom is X-ray vision?” he grinned as he muttered to himself.
“Chris Greene. What are you doing here? You and Charlotte are divorced, remember?” Veronica asked.
“We are. You know? That’s true. But I was her lawfully wedded husband so that gives me a legal right to her assets, so… all I want is $50 million and I’ll be on my way.” Chris said coolly.
Veronica laughed at him, “ $50 million? Are you insane? Out. Now!”
“I’m not here to argue with you. I’m going to speak with Charlotte.” Chris dismissed her.
Before he could go through, Veronica tried to stop him.
Chris pushed her to the couch, her ass facing him.
His Rom eyes activated again and he could see her naked butt.
He couldn’t help himself as he slightly pressed it.
“Chris Greene! You better not be trying anything funny.” Veronica warned him.
Chris chuckled as he yanked her head to the bad, “You seem to enjoy having your way with me. Maybe I should return the favor.”
He spanked her ass loudly.
She moaned softly.
“If Charlotte finds out about this, she will never forgive you. I’m still technically your mother-in-law. We shouldn’t.” Veronica said as she tried to come to her senses.
“Really?” Chris spanked her again. “That’s not what you said last night in bed.”
“What are you...” before Veronica could finish, Chris cut her off.
Charlotte saw them from the stairs and rushed down, “Stop!”
“Chris, you disgust me. Let her go right now.” Charlotte shouted.
“Look who decided to join the party?” Chris grinned.
“I said, let go of her.” Charlotte said again.
“I will… if you uh… if you give me $50 million.” Chris said.
“No way. The best I can do is 1 million. Take it or leave it.” Charlotte said, folding her arms.
“Wow! You hear that?” Chris asked facing Veronica.
“You helped her with her twisted plan to divorce me and you’re still only worth a measly 1 million.” Chris mocked her.
“Shut up!” Charlotte snapped. Then she clapped her hands, signaling for her boys to come down.
In no time, they came with their guns.
“Last chance. Let Vee go or my men will turn you into Swiss cheese.” Charlotte said with an attitude.
Chris smirked, “You are going to shoot me? Go ahead! If anyone’s not leaving this room alive, it’s you guys.”
Charlotte looked at him intently. Then signaled to her men that they shoot him.
Chris panicked, “Wait… wait… wait…”
“What? You scared, baby boy?” Charlotte said with a grin
“Never again, Charlotte.” Chris said as he opened his shirt and the bomb came in view.
Panic rose in everybody’s heart.
They all shifted back.
“Do I look scared to you, Charlotte?” Chris asked as he held the switch of the bomb in his hand.
“Chris, you’re insane.” Charlotte said softly.
“Yeah. Yeah. I’m insane. A total nutjob. And you? You’re a Wood. The precious heir to your family’s multi-billion dollar fortune. You see, I’m an orphan, Charlotte. A simple commoner with no money or power. What do I have to lose? I’ll gladly walk back into hell if it means taking you down with me.” Chris said with a determined look on his face.
He stepped forward, as if he was about to press the button.
“Fine!” Charlotte snapped.
“I’ll give you what you want. My family’s money is mostly from investment. It’s not like I actually have $50 million on me right now.” She replied.
“Well, then. How much do you have?” Chris asked immediately.
“$20 million?” Charlotte responded softly.
“Deal!” Chris said happily.
Immediately, one of Charlotte’s men brought a black card in and Charlotte gave it to him.
Chris smiled at her, “It was good doing business with you, Charlotte. See ya.” He said happily as he walked away.
As he held the card in his hand, he smiled triumphantly and threw the fake bomb away.
As the scene played in his head again, he couldn’t help but smile.

Chapter 250
The heavy iron gates of the main Mikaelson estate slid shut, sealing out the rest of Arcadia City. Inside the sprawling private grounds, the usual oppressive silence had completely dissolved. Tonight, the fortress was alive with an uncharacteristic, vibrant warmth.To personally celebrate the total neutralization of the Gordon threat and the safety of his fiancée, Chris had ordered the estate staff to prepare a massive, open-air feast within the grand stone courtyard. He hadn't restricted the celebration to elite corporate executives or high-ranking family directors. Instead, long wooden tables stretched across the manicured lawns, illuminated by the flickering amber glow of massive iron fire pits and string lights woven through the ancient oak trees. Every single personal security guard, driver, perimeter watchman, and front-line mercenary on both the Mikaelson and Greene Global payrolls had a seat at the tables.The crisp night air of Arcadia City was thick with the rich, mouth-wate
Chapter 249
A profound, revitalizing silence settled over Onyx Harbor. With the Zenith High Council completely dismantled and their corrupt grip broken, the blackouts that had plagued the commercial districts ceased overnight. The municipal power grid stabilized, surging with a clean, uninterrupted current. It was as if a suffocating, heavy weight had been lifted from the chest of the entire city. For months, the population had lived under the shadow of corporate extortion. Now, small businesses reopened their doors, the neon signs of the entertainment sectors burned steady into the dawn, and the streets hummed with a newfound, peaceful energy. The fear that had defined Zenith's reign was evaporating, replaced by the realization that a new era had begun.High above the bustling streets, insulated from the city’s ambient noise by triple-paned reinforced glass, Chris Greene sat in his executive office at the top of the Greene Global tower. The room was dark save for the ambient glow of the city bel

Gordon finally turned around and walked toward them. When he was in front of her, His knees buckled under the sudden, crushing weight of total defeat, and he sank onto the cold ground next to his bleeding, groaning son. He stared up at her, his face turning pale, his lips trembling as his thirty-year empire dissolved into pure dust before his eyes. "You... you violated the terms. We gave you the girl...""I don't negotiate the survival of the Mikaelson name with bankrupt criminals," Lynda whispered. She turned her head toward her commanders. "Throw them both in the back of the transport vans. Take them directly to the subterranean cells of the Mikaelson estate. They are going to face a very long, very thorough trial for corporate espionage and kidnapping."As the doors of the vans slammed shut on the bound, humiliated Gordons, Lynda turned back to Michelle, her expression softening. "The threat is neutralized, Lady Michelle. The Gordons are erased. Let us get you home.”Meanwhile I

He turned his attention back to Lynda. "Here are our terms for the trade, Lynda. We hand over Michelle Antonio right now, entirely unharmed. In exchange, you grant my son and me a twelve-hour operational window of total immunity. You pull back your shadow blockades from the western docks, you let our private transport jet leave the regional airspace, and you guarantee that your tactical cells will not pursue us into our South American territories. If you refuse, or if a single sniper fires a round, my son will pull the trigger on the girl, and we will all die together in this clearing. Decide. Right now."Lynda stood perfectly still for several long, agonizing seconds. The heavy silence in the shipping yard was thick enough to choke on. She looked past Gordon, her eyes locking onto Michelle.Michelle gave a single, slow, and deliberate nod of her head. She understood the chess board perfectly. She knew that survival in this moment was the only priority, because once she was safe, the

"How are you such a completely useless son?" the patriarch spat, his voice dropping into a hateful tone that cut deeper than any physical blow. "How on earth did I raise such a parasite? You aren't even an asset to this family—you are a cancer that just destroyed thirty years of my labor in a single night!"Michelle stood near the doorway, flanked by the two mercenaries. Even with her hands bound, her expression was one of pure amusement. She watched the breakdown of the Gordon dynasty with cold satisfaction. Levitt wiped the blood from his mouth, a spark of defensive, desperate anger flaring in his eyes as he scrambled to his feet. "Dad! Insulting me doesn't solve anything right now! The fact is, the Antonio girl is here! She’s standing right in front of us! Instead of screaming at me, how do we use her to get ourselves out of this mess?"The entitlement in Levitt’s voice, the total failure to grasp the sheer gravity of the apocalypse he had invited into their home was the final st
Chapter 245
"Help me lift her!" Levitt gasped to the last remaining mercenary, his voice cracking with pure terror. Together, they roughly dragged Michelle's limp body out of the back of the crippled van and threw her into the rear of a small, nondescript utility truck that had been parked inside the warehouse as a final emergency escape vehicle."I'll hold them off, sir! Get out of here!" the mercenary yelled, turning back toward the main warehouse floor with his weapon raised.Levitt didn't look back. He jumped into the driver's seat of the utility truck, slammed it into gear, and smashed through a rotted wooden loading dock door that led out into a deep, unlit concrete drainage canal behind the industrial park. He accelerated into the darkness just as a team of Mikaelson shadow soldiers blew the inner doors off the loading dock.When Lynda's commanders reached the platform, the area was empty. They found the bodies of the mercenaries, the abandoned black van, and the tracks of an escaping vehi
