Chapter 125: Terrifying womanThe ambulance and police arrived shortly after, the police ordered for Elaine to be taken to the hospital for forensic test, it took a great amount of effort to separate her from Arnold who held her in a tight grip.Arnold suffered a heart ache from shock and fainted shortly afterwards, he was rushed back to the hospital. The police investigated the crime scene and welcomed top class detectives as Elaine wasn’t just a public figure, she was the prime minister of the Netherlands. Her case had to be executed to perfection.They profiled the scene and it was easy to deduce the house was overturned out of rage, heartbreak and sorrows. They deduced suicide was possible but the forensic test would prove further is their profiling was accurate.As the media was present at the scene, it didn’t take time for the news to spread far and wide across the country.“Foolish woman, Ruben De Vries, I wonder how you managed to pull this off.” A man clothed in black watche
Chapter 126: “This accessory is about to cut your pride in half.” Tess discarded the handkerchief on K’s corpse and walked in like nothing happened.“She’s strong!”“Metal legs, what was that move!”“I’ve only heard of one leader of a mercenary group that’s a female. The terrifying general of the village of syzygy.”“Yes! I heard so too, she is popular for her swift battles, flowing dress and frightening strength.”Everyone automatically cleared the path for Tess to walk pass. Now that they know of her identity, they didn’t dare find trouble for her or her men. She isn’t a small fry like them. Leaders of mercenary groups never attend such gatherings, they deduced she most likely came to protect Regal.The bounty hunters could only watch as the million dollar worthy Regal walked passed them, sticking out his tongue to them and laughing sheepishly.The inside of the venue was no different from the outside, rough looking men lurked around, some gambling, brawling or small fights broke
Chapter 127: "My power is enough proof ." Tess and Max engage in a swift battle, they moved with such fast speed that the spectators could barely see their movement on the stage. By the time they stopped and separated from each other, Max fell, one knee to the ground as he supported himself with his elbow. He spat out a mouth full of blood and blood could be seen leaking from several wounds on his skin. Barely three minutes in! He smirked, wiping the trail of blood running down his lips, causing it to smear on his face.He had to admit it was the toughest battle he had fought in his twenty years of being a hired killer. It all started when he was fifteen, he had been training non stop since the young age of ten. "Tired?" Tess asked with a casual friendly tone like they weren't engaged in a serious battle. Max knew she meant no harm but he felt insulted, she looked a decade younger than him but had the skills and experience of a veteran, not only that. She wasn't using all of her
Chapter 128: Lucas’s Doom."I've come to take my man back." Arvin said. "Then take him." Tess raised an eyebrow then a smirk followed, "If you can stand up." "What do you want?" Arvin asked."Good question but it's incorrect, what do you have that I can want? N O T H I N G." she mouthed the last word without making any sound. Arvin had never felt so disgraced his entire life. He was currently kneeling beneath a woman that looked to be half his age but he had no choice, he didn't know what she did but he just couldn't move. Gradually, he could feel his arm muscles stifling and it spread to his neck. All of his body was paralyzed. "Let me go." a budding of fear rose in Arvin's heart. He had a feeling he might meet his demise there. "Beg." Tess said curtly. "..." "... Plea-" "Not me, him." Tess interrupted and pointed to Regal who was lying lazily on his arm that rested on the iron railings. He straightened his back as he was now the subject of attention, staring at Tess with mal
Chapter 129: Eric's DoomRuben propped himself against the wall of his private gym, his body glazed down with sweat after completing a tortuous session of high intensity interval training.It’s been almost a week since Elaine had been defeated and locked up. Yet the crowd talked about her endlessly, Ruben figured he didn’t even have to pay to make her name trend on the top search bar. Her evil deeds left the world in awe, as well as Arnold.He resigned from the prime minister office and along with his sister relocated to the United States for a breath of fresh air. He couldn’t come to terms with the truth, he was in love with the Elaine everyone knew. The heroine. Respected Prime minister turned killer overnight.Assistant prime minister Arnold was no more, he just wanted to live the rest of his life in solitude with his sole family member.Ruben came to know of the story between Arnold and Elaine when Elaine pleaded to see Arnold one last time. Ruben’s perfectionist trait led him to
Chapter 130: prisonRegal moved quickly but he had sustained a terrible injury. The skin around his bones had been severed and a vein was pierced in the process, blood gushed out like a waterfall.Tess scrunched her nose at the familiar scent of blood which had an additional foreign scent to it, her eyes glimmered meaningfully.Regal on the other hand didn’t show any reaction. He removed a handkerchief on his waist and attempted to tie it to the wound to compress the wound.“Fool, don’t do that.” Tess grabbed the tiny handkerchief from his hand. She searched her deep pocket and brought out a bandage and a porcelain jar, emptying the content on his wounds before wrapping it gently with the bandage. She knew it was just a matter of time before his hand returned back to normal.“Y-you seem to have everything in that pocket of yours.” Regal said the words that had been bugging him for a longtime.Tess threw him a disdainful look. “Thankfully I was self aware enough to know that I am going
Chapter 131: AidanTess sat cross legged, awake in the middle of the prison room. She watched the guards as they went back and forth gathering the prisoners' plates. They glanced over at her a few times but scurried away in fear as their eyes met.“So it was a group work.” Tess thought, a smirk crawled up her face. She hated people that took advantage of others the most.Throughout the night, she was awake, staring at the hypocritical guards that paced back and forth, peering into her prison room to see if she was sleeping while enduring Gruff’s torturous cave man deep snores.She laughed inwardly at the guards. Even if she had eaten the food, the drugs would have no effect on her, similarly other poisons or aphrodisiacs.Time passed by in the blink of an eye and it was soon daylight.“Gather in the assembly room.” One of the guards hit a gong and walked past while others began to unlock the room of the prisoners, except the chained man of course.Tess stood up in an orderly fashion un
Chapter 132: “Tess, stay behind, uncle will get justice for you.”“Why are you looking at me like that?” Tess asked, the light that flashed past Aidan’s brilliant pair of hazel eyes didn’t skip her sharp eyes.Aidan dropped his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttered and he shook his head, dismissing the thoughts in head. “Nothing, behind that thick layer of makeover, you look like someone precious to me.”“Who?” Tess asked outrightly like she was expecting what was coming next.“A brilliant person I adored throughout my life.”“Haha you talk like your life is over. It’s just starting.” Tess said with resolution in her eyes, as if she already had plans for how he would live the rest of his life.Aidan chuckled lowly, he could tell what the little rascal was thinking. The more he got to talk to her, the more she resembled that person. The person that fought for him and abandoned everything to mourn him and their mother when she thought he was dead.His sister, Anna.Aidan’s story dates back
