Scott stepped into The Red Velvet, its interior dominated by a vivid red. He glanced around briefly, then approached the receptionist's desk.
"What do you want?" the receptionist asked curtly, a woman in her mid-twenties with her hair in a ponytail.
"I'm looking for a woman named Luisa. I heard she's here," Scott said.
"Luisa?" the receptionist repeated, eyeing Scott suspiciously.
"Yes. Her name was Luisa Grandier, but maybe she's not using her last name anymore," Scott replied.
Based on additional information from Zach during the ride to the brothel, Scott understood that Luisa wasn’t fully accepted as a member of the Grandier family.
Unlike Lisa, Olivia's biological daughter, Luisa was an illegitimate child, born from a woman Daniel once kept as a mistress. This fact made Luisa despised by the Grandier family, especially Lisa, who felt threatened by her beauty.
Among those who suggested selling Luisa to a brothel, Lisa was one of the most enthusiastic.
"Wait a moment, let me check something," the receptionist said, turning her attention to the computer monitor on her desk.
"Luisa, right? The new girl?" she asked after a moment.
"Yes, that's right. Where is she now?" Scott asked, his pupils dilating.
The receptionist gave him a strange look, scanning Scott from head to toe.
"You can't see Luisa today. Come back tomorrow or the day after," she said.
"What do you mean?" Scott asked, his tone rising.
The receptionist flinched momentarily, then glared at Scott and raised her voice in return, "She's with five of our VVIP clients. Someone like you has no chance of seeing her today. And even if you come back tomorrow or the day after, you'll probably be competing with hundreds of wealthier men. Why don't you just bury this wish of yours?"
Scott's chest heaved with restrained anger. He snorted, then said coldly, "Where is Luisa now? Which room is she in?"
"Ha! Still hoping, huh? You really don’t know your place. You're like a frog dreaming of the moon—"
"Just tell me which room she's in!" Scott snapped.
The receptionist was taken aback. She froze for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Second floor."
Scott clicked his tongue in frustration. The woman had given him the floor number instead of the room number. But no matter. He no longer relied on her. He looked around until he spotted a spiral staircase leading to the second floor.
He left the reception desk without a word and sprinted toward the stairs.
"Hey, hey! Where the hell do you think you're going? Stop right there!" the receptionist shouted.
Of course, Scott ignored her, continuing to run up the steps.
Gillian, the receptionist, clicked her tongue in irritation and picked up the phone to call security.
Meanwhile, on the second floor, Scott looked around again, wondering which room Luisa might be in.
He wandered back and forth until he saw something suspicious.
At the end of one hallway, a group of men were gathered. All of them were men.
Scott's instincts drove him to approach them.
Noticing Scott's arrival and his commanding presence, a few of the men turned toward him and blocked his path.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" asked one of them, a bald man.
"Turn around and leave before you regret it," threatened the man next to the bald one.
Scott glanced briefly to check the room number they seemed to be guarding—213. Their behavior made him even more suspicious. He continued to walk while sharpening his hearing.
At this point, he heard a scream, loud and long.
From the sound, it seemed to be a woman. And it came from room 213.
Some of the men guarding the room were startled by the scream; some focused on Scott but appeared more alert.
"Hey, you! Leave before we beat you up!" the bald man shouted.
At that moment, Scott suddenly vanished from their sight. The next thing they knew, they were thrown against the walls. His friends experienced the same fate.
'What just happened?' the bald man thought. He tried to get up but was held back by coughing and spitting blood.
Meanwhile, Scott was now inside the room.
He had just kicked the door open, startling the pot-bellied man and four other men in the room.
Scott glanced at them sternly, then turned his gaze to a girl lying on the floor with blood on her forehead. He quickly approached her and checked her condition.
'Thank God she's still alive!' Scott thought after confirming that she was still breathing and her pulse was normal.
Scott then looked at the girl's face. Truly beautiful. Her skin wasn’t just white but also smooth, like porcelain.
The only blemish on her face was the gash on her forehead, right next to the tattoo of the letters "RV."
'Hold on! I’ll get you out of this filthy place!' Scott thought to himself.
"Hey, who are you? How dare you interrupt my special moment! Get your hands off her!" the pot-bellied man yelled.
Scott slowly turned and gave the pot-bellied man a fierce look. The pot-bellied man recoiled. For a moment, fear was evident in his eyes.
"Hey, I know who he is! He's that pathetic loser who was willing to marry Lisa Grandier. Yeah, I'm sure that's him!"
"Ah, right. His face matches the one I've seen on social media."
"Scott Goodman. That's his name, right? What's he doing here?"
"Probably looking for a whore to sleep with. What else?"
That was how the other four men in the room commented. For the past week leading up to the wedding, people had been gossiping about Scott, whom they considered shameless and pathetic. Scott's photos, taken secretly, were spread online with captions degrading his dignity as a human being.
"Oh, so you're that miserable poor guy? Why are you here? Isn't this your wedding day? You visit a brothel on your wedding day? Incredible! You're even more despicable than me! Hahaha..."
The pot-bellied man said it proudly, something that sounded odd to Scott because what he was proud of was his despicableness.
Scott couldn't take it anymore. Carefully, he laid Luisa back down, then stood and faced them.
"Are you the five men who bid the highest for this innocent girl during the auction?" Scott asked coldly.
"So what if we are? You want to enjoy her too?" the pot-bellied man mocked, chuckling. "Don't dream! Only the five of us can enjoy her body today. Do you understand?!"
The four other men behind the pot-bellied man smiled arrogantly, lifting their chins, thinking the situation was under their control.
And their confidence increased when the men who had been guarding the door rushed in.
"Bastard! You'll pay for what you did to us!" the bald man shouted, fury blazing in his eyes.
Scott glanced at them sharply, simultaneously releasing a bit of his warrior's aura as his killing intent rose.
"What are you waiting for? Beat him up!" the pot-bellied man ordered.
Instantly, the bald man and his friends drew their weapons: knives, machetes, axes, and more.
"Die!!!" the bald man screamed, charging at Scott along with his friends.
The pot-bellied man smirked, as did the four men behind him, thinking their men would beat Scott to a pulp, if not kill him outright.
However...
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Scott easily took them all down, just like before, without a single scratch on his body.
The pot-bellied man gasped, reflexively stepping back two steps. The four men behind him, who had been sitting, immediately stood up, gaping in shock.
Slowly, Scott fixed his gaze on them and said coldly, "Now, it's your turn."

You're Totally Safe Now
The nurse stared at Scott, disbelieving. This guy casually said that the patient would wake up soon, even though the electrocardiogram showed otherwise? And he was the patient's husband? Hard to believe!"What are you saying?! The patient is clearly not okay. She might be like this because of what you did to her earlier!" the nurse said loudly, approaching Scott and blocking his path."Get out of my way!"Scott pushed the nurse aside with his left hand. If Eva hadn't been quick to catch the nurse, she would have fallen.Scott approached the patient's bed. The electrocardiogram was still beeping, as if Luisa's life was in danger. But he remained calm. He checked Luisa's pulse with one hand, while his other hand touched his wife's forehead."Hey, what are you doing? You don't see how what you did earlier affected your wife. You want her to die, huh?!" the nurse yelled, losing control, no longer able to act professionally.Harith clicked his tongue. Without looking at the nurse, he s
What's Happening? Is Somethihg Wrong?
Taking off from the police station, the helicopter carrying Scott headed to the I Battalion military headquarters. He actually wanted to go straight to the hospital to check if Luisa had woken up. But the distance to the hospital was too far . He figured it was okay if he stopped by the I Battalion headquarters first to check on how Zach and his men had handled the two bodies he had left with them.Using Eva's phone, Scott called Zach.[Anything I can do for you, General?]“I’m on my way there. Have you examined the two bodies?”[Yes, General. We’ve also secured the two cellphones from them both. Right now, the team I appointed is still trying to hack access to those phones.]Scott furrowed his brow. Why did he miss this about the phones? It was very likely that Richard had recorded his unforgivable actions towards Luisa on his phone. The recording file had to be on his phone.“Focus on Richard's phone. Let me know at this number if you find any video files show
Overwhelming Fear
The Commander choked. Suddenly, a cold blast of air touched his neck, making his arms and legs tremble.He knew Scott was serious about what he’d just said. So, what should he do now?“I’m not a patient man, Commander. You better give me your answer now, before my patience runs out,” Scott said coldly.The Commander swallowed. It felt like he was facing his own death.“Okay. Okay, okay. I’ll take you to them,” the Commander finally said.Scott didn't respond, still staring at him coldly. Slightly nervous, the Commander turned and told the officers accompanying him to guide Scott to the special cells where they were holding Richard's men.Their arrival at the cells was short.The Commander gave Scott space to move forward. With his eyes fixed on the cells, Scott said with a cold voice, “Commander, I advise you to take your men to another room. You don’t want to witness what I'm going to do to them.”Once again, the Commander could sense Scott’s seriousness. Having learn
Bad Time To Joke
The two nurses looked at each other, their faces tense. The doctor sighed, glaring at Scott in annoyance. As one of the senior doctors in the hospital, he had to show his authority in front of clueless, inconsiderate visitors like Scott.“Sir, I suggest you leave the room immediately. We prioritize our patient’s comfort here,” said the doctor.What was Scott's reaction? He stared coldly at the doctor. Not paying attention to what the doctor said, Scott moved closer to the patient bed, and when the doctor tried to block his path, Scott just shoved him aside, causing the bespectacled man to stumble and fall.“Doctor!”One of the nurses approached the doctor, helping him to his feet. The other one stood rigidly, motionless. Her legs were shaking.Eva shook head. Scott’s mood appeared to be very bad. She felt sorry for the doctor and the two nurses, who were simply performing their duties.So, while Scott began taking out the bottles of potion he had brought with him, Ev
Take Me With You
What Scott saw on the viral video was exactly this:In an open room, Luisa sat tied to a chair. A tall man stood beside her, and he placed his right hand on Luisa’s head.Yes, that man was Richard. And what happened next? Luisa suddenly looked up and screamed. Her body was shaking uncontrollably. Her eyes bulged as if she were seeing something very terrifying.Luisa’s body was shaking so violently that she fell from the chair, breaking one of the back legs.Richard bent down and grabbed Luisa’s hair, pulling her back to her original position. But of course, because one of the chair legs was broken, Luisa would fall again if Richard released his grip. And before Richard released his grip, he brought his lips closer to Luisa’s ear and whispered something.What Richard whispered was too low, and was not picked up by the recording camera. What was certain was that after that, Luisa began screaming again, very loudly, and the shaking in her body became more violent. Her eyes s
Shocking Viral Video
Scott stood silent for a moment. Then, without a word, he shoved the doctor aside and entered the ER room.“Sir, you can’t do that!”He completely ignored the doctor’s words. Inside the ER room, the medical staff who had been involved in providing emergency treatment to Luisa stared at him in shock.Scott didn’t care about them. His eyes immediately focused and locked on Luisa, still lying on the operating table. A gurney had been prepared to the right of the operating table. It seemed that the nurses and other medical staff in the room were getting ready to move her.Scott rushed to Luisa’s side. Two male medical staff tried to stop him, but he easily shoved them aside.The nurses were terrified and backed up, away from the gurney, and the operating table. Scott took advantage of the space this created to check Luisa’s condition.As the doctor had said, Luisa was no longer in critical condition. Even her heartbeat and pulse were normal. Only her breathing was still being aid
