A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard A drunk man's Last Wish
The thundering pulse of the music seemed to falter, the pounding beats muffled as the group of men rushed past Axe and Katriona, their heavy footfalls fading into the racket of the club. But still, Katriona clung to Axe like a lifeline, her slender frame trembling against his sturdy form.As the men disappeared into the shadowy depths of the club, a tense silence settled over the dance floor, broken only by the echo of their hurried steps. The air crackled with tension, a sense of foreboding hanging thick like a fog around them.Feeling her move against him, Axe's gaze flickered towards Katriona, his expression a mask of concern and tiredness. In the dim, pulsating lights of the club, her tear-streaked face was a portrait of fear and vulnerability, her eyes wide and glistening with unshed tears.“They are gone,” Axe murmured, his voice a low rumble. “You should let go.”Immediately, she stepped back, breaking free from him and running her fingers through her hair in an attempt to re

The room door slammed open, and the eyes of the three young boys inside trembled as Edana bashed in. With a stern face, she counted all three of them and then looked over at the fourth bed before screaming, "Where is Axe?!"Within a matter of seconds, the orphanage was engraved in a frustrating silence as the news of Axe’s escape spread like wildfire among the children and staff. By the minutes, the hallway was with a haunting silence, broken only by the soft shuffling of anxious feet and the occasional stifled whimper. Obediently, the children lined up in perfect rows, their tiny bodies trembling because they knew all too well the consequences of Axe's disobedience... Because for every time he attempted to escape, the burden fell upon them all.Their faces were etched with weariness, their eyes heavy with the weight of their shared fate. The dimly lit corridor, with its peeling wallpaper and flickering fluorescent lights, seemed to mirror the somber atmosphere that hung heavily in

Sixteen years laterThe doors to the mansion swung open with a creak, the heavy scent of cigar smoke and aged whiskey wafting through the air as Axe's footsteps echoed in the quiet hallway, making his way toward the grand living room.As he entered the room, the sight that greeted him was one of simmering anger. Don Vincenzo sat in his leather armchair, his piercing eyes ablaze with fury, and the room seemed to shrink under the weight of his gaze. When Don's glare fell upon Axe, a heavy sigh escaped his lips, carrying with it a mix of disappointment and frustration.Immediately, bowing deeply, Axe's voice remained studied as he addressed his boss, "Master, you sent for me?"Setting down his wine glass with a resounding thud, Don Vincenzo locked eyes with Axe and said, "Leia and Ember are gone," The mention of Leia's name made Axe's eyes darkened, and his jaws clutched as he tried to hold back his tongue from asking if she was okay."I forbade Ember from attending a frivolous party h

Reaching into his pocket, Marco withdrew a knife, brandishing it at Leia menacingly as he took a few threatening steps closer to Leia. Her heart pounding in her chest, she struggled to keep her breathing calm, to fight the overwhelming urge to scream as Marco's knife flashed dangerously closer to her."Help!" Leia finally screamed. "Somebody help! Somebody help us!"The group broke into laughter again, and Nico's expression darkened as he glared at her, and said with a smug smile, "Why do you think the music is so loud, sweetheart?""Right! Now, let's see how strong you are, little missy. How dare you defy us?!" Marco yelled, waving the blade in his hand.Just then the door bash opened, and Axe stepped inside, his eyes that of a bull that had seen the color red as he glared at Marco, Nico, and their friends. "You don't want to deal with me. Let the girls go. I am going to say this once." Axe growled, his dark glare fixed firmly on Marco.Pointing the knife at him, Marco laughed mo

The setting sun bathed the calm waters of the Mediterranean in a warm, golden hue, as the luxurious yacht glided gracefully through the sea. Onboard, the atmosphere was imbued with an air of sophistication and opulence, the clinking of crystal glasses and soft laughter punctuating the evening as the wealthy elite of the city gathered for a dinner hosted by the newly appointed CEO of Brewery, a prominent company in the alcohol industry.Among the guests of honor was Don Vincenzo since he was a towering figure in the city's business and underworld circles. After all the guests, he arrived on the yacht with Leia, Ember, and Axe along with Madam Vincenzo. As they stepped onto the yacht, Axe maintained a stoic expression, and the guests couldn't help but notice his presence. Slowly, they whispered among themselves, their eyes casting judgmental glances at him."He's Don's bodyguard," one woman murmured to her husband, her disdain evident in her voice. "I can't believe he brought that...

The tension in the air was raw as the storm brewed in Axe's eyes, and Jonathan Lucci clutched his throbbing hand and stumbled backward, his eyes locked onto Axe's intense gaze. The room had fallen into an eerie silence, broken only by hushed whispers and the occasional gasp from the stunned guests. Still reeling from the pain in his hand, Jonathan Lucci attempted to regain his composure and assert his dominance, glaring away from Axe. With a strained smile, he addressed Don, his voice dripping with a thinly veiled threat, "Mr. Vincenzo, I believe it's in your best interest to discipline your man. This sort of behavior is unacceptable." "Jonathan, I understand your concern, but I won't be disciplining Axe for his actions. He hasn't offended me or acted out of line in any way to me or my family. If anyone feels wronged by his actions, they are free to voice their concerns and present their case." Don said calmly, resting back in his seat. Scoffing, Lucci's eyes narrowed as he str

Looking back at her father, Leia's eyes widened in realization as the woman's words hit her like a ton of bricks. She had never thought about it that way. Her father's decision was not just unfair, but it was also cruel. It was like he was setting Axe up to be caught in the middle of a power struggle between the two families. As she was lost in thought, Jonathan's voice interrupted her, and she turned to face him, her mind still reeling from the woman's words. Clearing his throat, Jonathan's eyes were fixed on Axe, and his face was etched with disgust. Then he turned to Don with a small smile, saying, "Well, for your sake, I will let him go. After all, you saw him fit to be in here with us, so why don't we end the matter here? What do you say?" When Mr. Vincenzo didn't answer, he turned away from him, shoving his hand into his pocket to stop his fingers from clutching into fists, and rage slowly burned in his eyes as he thought, 'Now that I know how irrelevant you are to Mr. Vincenz

A tense silence hung heavy in the atmosphere as Axe and Mr. Vincenzo got into the black car, the engine humming softly in the background, the two inhaling the scent of leather mingled with the faint aroma of cigar smoke. In the silence, Axe's knuckles were raw and bloodied, but he did not attempt to tend to his wounds. His eyes were still ablaze with a fit of seething anger, his jaw clenched tight as he stared out the window, lost in his own thoughts. The events that had transpired had unleashed a storm within him, and it raged on, threatening to consume him entirely. Sitting next to Axe, Mr. Vincenzo looked at him with a mix of concern and admiration. But silence stretched between them, the only sound the steady hum of the engine and the occasional distant honking of a car. Finally, unable to bear the weight of the silence any longer, Mr. Vincenzo broke it, his voice gentle yet firm. "I am sorry." "For what?" Axe asked gruffly, his gaze never leaving the road ahead. "The life

A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard Unwinding Frustration
Axe stormed out of the hotel lobby, his frustration boiling beneath the surface. He yanked off his coat, tossed it onto the backseat of his sleek black car, and rolled up his sleeves, exposing the intricate tattoos adorning his skin.Sliding into the driver's seat, he slammed the door shut and started the engine with a growl. The car roared to life, mirroring Axe's turbulent emotions as he navigated the bustling streets towards the dimly lit district where the city's most notorious clubs thrived.The neon lights of the club district flickered like distant stars in the night sky, drawing Axe closer with their promise of temporary escape. He craved the pulsing beat of the music, the swirling haze of cigarette smoke, and the intoxicating burn of alcohol sliding down his throat.Parking his car in a shadowy alley, Axe stepped out onto the pavement, his boots echoing against the pavement as he made his way towards the nearest club. The rhythmic thumping of bass reverberated through his che
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard Putting it down
A small smirk crossed Axe's lips at Sam's words, and then, ignoring Sam's pain, he said, “I'd like to see you try to mess with me.”The look in Axe's eye sent shivers running down Sam’s spine. With a loud, pained yell, “Are you challenging the Steele... You are just a watchdog for the Vincenzo, but I am the son of Steele. Do you get it!”Laughing with tears spilling from his eyes, Sam screamed, “I am-”“A jackass.” Axe finished for him. “I am well aware, asshole... I do respect the Steele family, so I will let you off with just a broken finger... The next time-”“You will do what?! What do you think you can do to me-”“I will break a promise I made to an old crock...”“What?!”The sound of someone clearing their throat made Axe, Sam, and Leia look to their right, and standing there was Don Vincenzo.“Father, what are you doing here?” Leia asked, rushing away from the two men to meet him.Suddenly, Axe let go of Sam's hand and locked eyes with Mr. Vincenzo, rage glowing from his entir

Shutting his eyes for a second, Axe tried to control his breathing, taking deep breaths through his nose, before nodding slowly. He opened his eyes, looking straight ahead. “Yeah. Yeah. Right.” His grip on her waist tightened slightly as he led her away, his eyes focused firmly on the floor. The two security guards looked close behind them, and then one replied, “We should call the boss.”The second guard, who also had a long ponytail, nodded. “Yeah, good idea.” He fumbled in his pocket, bringing out a comlink, which he pressed to his ear. A few seconds later, he spoke. “Boss... she's here.”The silence between Leia and Axe lasted for several seconds before Leia cleared her throat nervously. “Uh, Axe? Are you ok? You look kinda pale. Maybe we should have just gone somewhere else. We can go back if you want—”“So... The Steele... That's new... Not shocking though... They are right up your parents alley... Rich, powerful. What a family, huh?” Axe mumbled distractedly, seeming to be l

As Axe drove Leia to the party, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in her stomach. Finally, unable to contain it any longer, she turned to Axe, her voice tinged with frustration. “You know, if you’re going to play the part of my pretend boyfriend tonight, you should really act like it. There’s this guy who just won’t leave me alone, and it’s getting really annoying.”Axe glanced at her, a chuckle escaping his lips. “What’s so funny?” Leia asked, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion.He shook his head, his expression turning serious. “Nothing, it’s just… Who’s this guy?” His tone was firm, his eyes searching hers for answers.Lowering her lids with a pout, Leia sighed, her frustration evident. “His name’s... Ah... He's so freaking cocky... He’s been pestering me since the entire business ordeal... asking me out on dates and just being… persistent.”Axe’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his jaw clenching. “I see,” he murmured.When his jaws clutc
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard the night
The next morning, the sound of footsteps echoed through the living room, disrupting Axe's peaceful slumber. Slowly opening his eyes, he found Leia standing in front of him, her small feet clad in pink fluffy socks. A tray filled with toast, jam, and fresh fruit juice rested in her hands. "Good morning," she said as brightly as could be expected for seven o’clock in the morning. Her smile was radiant as she approached him. "A thank you gift," she said, placing the tray on the coffee table.With a yawn, he sat up and took hold of the plate, pulling it toward him. He took a bite of the bread before reaching to grab some jam and arched an eyebrow in curiosity. "For what?""Hmm... For letting me stay the night and not making a fuss about it." Leia plopped down beside him, leaning over to steal half of his toast. She then took several bites of it. She then proceeded to take another bite and give him the thumbs up. "Which means we're good, right?"Leia looked at him expectantly. The ques
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard Run!!
For the longest, Leia's words hung in the air, a tense silence settling between them as Axe processed her unexpected request. His brow furrowed in confusion, his mind struggling to make sense of her sudden boldness. Her question rang loud and clear though, an innocent yet dangerous invitation that he could not deny. His mouth opened, his throat beginning to tighten as he stared at her in complete astonishment. Then his brows furrowed once more, a sense of doubt and caution stirring within him."Leia, I don't think...I don't-" His words caught in his throat, refusing to form coherent sentences as he struggled to find the right words to say to her. But instead of interrupting him or trying to talk her way out of this situation, Leia remained silent, her stare remaining fixed on Axe. Her lips quirked into a small smile, and she gave a short laugh. But he knew she was nervous too, her hands twisting together and gripping the edges of her skirt as she stared at him expectantly."Leia, you
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard A dangerous request
Staring hard at his phone screen, Axe's fingers trembled slightly as he pressed the answer button on his phone, bringing it up to his ear. The voice on the other side was low, filled with a sense of urgency that instantly caught his attention."Hello, Axe. I trust you're well?" The voice on the other end of the line was deep and carried an air of authority.As he stepped away from the father and son, Axe's grip on the phone tightened as he replied, "Yes, Master. What's the matter?""I have a task for you. Something that requires your immediate attention," Don Vincenzo's voice commanded attention, and Axe's brow furrowed in curiosity."Of course, Master. What do you need?" Axe asked, his eyes narrowing slightly."I cannot discuss it over the phone. Meet me at the Vincenzo Mansion. There's something I need to tell you in person," Don Vincenzo's tone was cryptic, leaving Axe with a sense of unease."Understood, Master. I'll be there soon," Axe replied, a sense of urgency creeping into hi
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard Chapter 15: Shadow
In the midst of the silence, Mr. Larkwood's face grew pale, the lines etched on his weathered features deepening with worry. His gaze darted from side to side as if searching for an escape from the truth that threatened to engulf him."It's Jasper's brother." He finally confessed, and his Adam's apple bobbed in a swift motion as he swallowed hard, his lips parting as he tried to say something, but the words died in his throat, and his gaze hardened, and he glared at Axe. Frowning at Mr. Larkwood, Axe hesitated for a moment and then said, "But Jasper is an only child-""Was." Mr. Larkwood interrupted firmly, clenching his jaw.That left Axe speechless for a short moment, his gaze drifting away momentarily as if lost in thought. But then, his brow furrowed as a dark frown appeared on his face."What do you mean was? I know your wife, and Jasper is the only child she has born for you." Axe replied sternly."I may have wandered off a little." Mr. Larkwood murmured, his gaze still train
