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 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
Chapter 133: "It seems we have to employ another method to deal with her."Tess complied. She stood to the side, her face lit up in curiosity as to the fighting abilities of her uncle popularly known as the human machine killer. Aiden didn’t disappoint. He lived up to his name. Within seconds, a reasonable number of men laid lifeless beneath his feet. He looked like a dashing knight in shining armor after his foreseen victory.He returned to Tess’s side and stroked her head. “You grew up well.” His rough voice touched the soft part of Tess’s heart. Her eyes became misty. As someone that craved motherly attention and love, the warmth that came with Aiden’s show of affection touched that part of her heart.“Uncle.” She said in a wobbly tone, hugging him.Aiden in turn was comforted by the presence of someone he could finally call family.Someone who is the seed of the person he adores the most in the world. Anna.He noticed Tess had gotten rid of the thick layer of makeover that hid he
Chapter 134: “Humans shouldn’t interfere with a fight between two wild beasts, now you’re seeking death.”After five minutes, they arrived at the location the guards described, a large, tall, black door with a gold lion door knocker. The kind you find in a palace. To open one of these doors, Immense strength is needed as both doors must be pulled at once. Regal and Aiden, out of reflex, walked on opposite sides towards the door but were stopped by Tess. "I'll do it.""But you can't let them know of your real strength." Regal said, his face scrunched up in worry. "It's fine, since they want to see it, I will show them." Tess smirked dangerously, touched the knockers lightly and with both hands, effortlessly, she pulled the door open. A bright flash of light caused them to scrunch their eyes and gradually their vision cleared, they were greeted with a grand house party. Tess's eyes lit up. She was expecting a boring, long dinner table with old men but everywhere she looked, she cou
