“Go to Chrysant Prison and get the Twin Ghosts,” Hudson said to his man emotionlessly. Both Alfred and the man were stunned by Hudson’s order. “What? Master Hudson, you are getting the Twin Ghosts involved? If yes, there will be a bloodbath,” Alfred said in shock. He looked scared as if he thought of something scary. “Lefteria Group has decided to oppose us by protecting Darcy and her family, so let there be blood.” Hudson stood with his hands behind his back and then dismissed his man with a wave. “Go.” “Yes, Sir.” The man nodded and left the ward for Chrysant City. Inside Chrysant Prison, there was an independent cell with two prisoners. The walls of the cell barely had any paint left. On its surface were many holes. The larger ones looked like they had been punched while the smaller ones, usually four to five in a cluster, looked like someone had poked their fingers into the concrete wall. There was also blood on the walls, both fresh and dried. The two pri
With the order from Hudson, invites were sent out. Soon, all the important figures of Lilyrose received the invites. “Hudson Vinland invites us to have tea at Wuthering Pavilion tomorrow. What is he planning?” At Bay Club, Gold Tooth and Dan Niner received the invites and they were not sure what to do with it. They worked for Kaze for a while and seized all the limelight for some time, but ever since they failed their missions, Kaze switched his attention to Miru. Since then, the two of them had been nothing but miserable. Gold Tooth was forced to retire because of one word from Kaze. He called Dan out to have a drink before they received the invites. “I don’t care what they wanted to do but we have to go to show respect,” Dan said bitterly. “The top three families are taken down already and Hudson Vinland is inviting us to tea? This is sketchy.” The three family heads also received the invitation and decided to talk about it at a cafe. They were still frightened
Hudson’s invitation was sent to Shangrila Group. This one was unlike the others because the content only had one sentence in it—Get over here, apologize! The person who delivered the invitation specifically said it was for Kaze. When the invitation was handed to Winnie, she was frightened. The conflict between Kaze and the Vinlands started because of her and Brenda. Hudson did all those things just because he wanted to get back to Kaze at the tea session. “Ms. Souffle, should we deliver this invitation to the chairman?” Sophie asked. “No need. I’ll take his place. We don’t need to let the chairman know about this.” Winnie bit her lip and made up her mind. Back at Horizon Mirror Mansion, after Darcy received a phone call, she went to Kaze with a concerned look. “Kaze, I got a call from my friend saying that the Vinlands sent invitations to many influential figures in Lilyrose, inviting them over for tea. I wonder if it’s about us.” From the moment Kaze beat up Yume
“I invited everyone here for tea. Please make yourself at home!” Hudson entered the room with a grand disposition and signaled everyone to take their seats. “Master Hudson, Melrose’s kingpin, Steve and his son, were murdered last night by the Twin Ghosts. Is the Vinland family involved?” asked a family head of a first-tier family. The question felt out of line but he could not control his curiosity. The others looked at Hudson curiously. Hudson smiled and said, “I know them.” The answer Hudson provided was profound and it struck the hearts of everyone present. Hudson cherished his reputation more than anything, so there was no way he would admit it. However, his claim to know them explained a lot. A number of guests reacted strangely. Lefteria Group wiped out Dallas Moneylender in Lilyrose and Hudson responded by killing Steve and Sully in Melrose. After Steve stepped down, he supported Miru in taking over his empire in Melrose. Just as Lefteria Group started to
Winnie’s face turned pale. She looked down in silence as guilt started to consume her. “And my son, Juno! The Star Corporation is one of the biggest companies in Chrysant, yet Kaze Lee tortured my son! This is unacceptable!” Jake’s square face looked fierce and strict. The other chairmen of big companies in Chrysant City stepped up and berated Winnie as their sons and daughters were tortured by Kaze. Of course, they would want justice for their children. “I heard you and your daughter are the cause of all this, am I right?” Dexter asked coldly. “It is.” Winnie’s face was as white as a sheet. Dexter bellowed, “On your knees, and apologize to us!” Thump! Winnie knelt without a second thought. Kaze was too kind to her and her family. Even if she had to give her life away, she swore to bear all the criticism for Kaze. “Shangrila Group has been opposing the Vinlands openly, yet its CEO is kneeling before us?” Dexter strutted up to Winnie. Slap! He slapped Winni
The voice came from a phone via loudspeaker. It was so abrupt that it caught everyone’s ears. Everyone was shocked by the bold words. Who was that? Who called Dexter Bluenid and the others a piece of garbage? Each of them ran their respective companies and since they were valued by the Vinlands, the companies were by no means small. Even the Vikroms and Logmans dared not challenge them. Yet someone among the guests called them a piece of garbage openly. “Who said that?! Show yourself!” Dexter was furious as he stared in the direction where the voice came from. The guests in the same direction averted his furious gaze, trying to avoid a potential conflict with the Bluenids. There was one person who did not look away. It was a young lady and to everyone’s surprise, she stood up. It was Sophie. “You? Who are you to challenge me?” Dexter shouted angrily. Sophie was trembling as she held the phone up. “Don’t be afraid. Get close and let them hear my voice.” Kaz
“What the hell?!” Dexter covered his face on the floor, crying in pain. Everyone almost burst into laughter seeing his miserable state. They all gloated at him and looked down at him for crying like a child. Winnie was slapped many times yet she did not even grunt in pain. Dexter was weaker than a woman! Then, everyone was shocked because they did not expect Dan to listen to Kaze and slap Dexter in the face. Not even Hudson had expected it. Hudson stared at Dan. “Dan Niners, what is the meaning of this?” Dexter was with him, and if Dan slapped Dexter, Dan indirectly slapped him. “I’m sorry, Master Hudson, I didn’t mean to offend you.” Dan bowed. Hudson looked slightly calmer. He said, “Explain yourself.” “Alright.” Dan nodded. He then grabbed Dexter by the hair and kneed him in the stomach, making him kneel on the floor. He then slapped Dexter repeatedly, causing him to cry louder. After numerous slaps, Dexter could not even make a sound anymore. Dan then
“Stop them!” Hudson was infuriated. He squeezed the words out through clenched teeth. “If you don’t want to die, stop this at once!” Two men from the Vinlands stepped up and threatened Dan and Gold Tooth. However, their ferocity did not work on Dan. He was known for being brutal and ferocious in the underworld. “If you don’t want them to die, stand right there!” Dan grabbed one of the chairmen’s necks and squeezed it tightly, causing the man’s face to turn red and his eyes rolled back. “Hehe, one more step and I’ll squeeze his balls out!” Gold Tooth was not as young as Dan, hence the lack of strength but he was much more vicious. He grabbed Dexter by the scrotum instead. It was all men’s weakness. Even the man of steel would have to surrender and beg for mercy. “Master Hudson! Stop! Don’t do it! I can’t take it anymore!” Dexter cried like a little boy, his body shook, and his eyes rolled back. Hudson could not just let his men lose their manhood, so he had to
