A strange emotion flickered in Ivanka’s eyes. She would be lying if she said that she was not moved.Alexander could tell what the two of them were up to. His expression darkened further.He looked at Michael with a faint smile. “Do you think you have any say in this matter?”With that, he suddenly raised a gun in his hand, put a finger on the trigger, and aimed at Michael’s forehead. Michael stared at him with arrogance and indifference. He did not seem to mind.Alexander immediately pulled a long face. He thought. “What’s with the look of disdain in his eyes? Does he think I won’t dare to fire the gun?”But just as he was about to pull the trigger, a rough voice tore through the air.“Back the hell down if you want to live!”Everyone looked at the source of the voice.They saw Lark charging toward them with bombs strapped to his waist.There was a determined look in his eyes, and he wore a fiendish grimace on his face.He was followed by all four of his comrades.Lark ch
“Are you alright, Ms. Lane?” This was the first thing Lark said as he walked up to Ivanka.Ivanka shook her head. “I’m fine, all thanks to you.”Lark grinned like a silly schoolboy. “Just doing my part.”Michael looked at the men who saved him and Ivanka expressionlessly. “You have been a great help this time. I’ll offer you additional pay as a token of gratitude.”Hearing this, all five men were secretly thrilled.But what they wanted the most was a permanent antidote for Cruciatus.Under his comrades’ meaningful gazes, Lark stated their intention. “Ms. Lane, what we want at the moment isn’t money.”Ivanka owed them everything for saving her life.She was not the kind of person who would shun those who helped her.But before she said anything, Michael said, “Since I’ve promised to reward you, I won’t go back on my word. Rest assured. Not only will she cure you, but I’ll also help you settle down somewhere safe once you receive the money.”Ivanka was rather surprised that Mic
A black van drove out of a junction nearby.The man who sat in the driver seat steered the vehicle in the direction Evan was heading. He parted his thin lips and said expressionlessly, “Your Highness, I’ve managed to track down Michael Barkworth’s assistant, Evan. Should I send the boys over?”“That won’t be necessary. I have figured out who those men used to work for. I prefer to sit back and watch him go after Michael and Ivanka.” Alexander gave an icy smile. The look in his eyes was cold and dangerous.There was also a hint of mockery in his smile.“Then should I just stop and come—” Seeing that Alexander did not give any more orders, his subordinate dared not stop following Evan. All he could do was ask for Alexander’s instruction.Just a moment ago, Alexander was in a good mood and was hoping to watch a disaster unfold. But as soon as he heard what his subordinate said, his expression darkened, and he yelled, “Did I tell you to come back?”“No, you didn’t. I’m still followin
Tanya was furious, but she was no fool.Blake’s words made her realize that she had been tricked!Worse still, Michael had sided with Ivanka and helped her trick Tanya and left her motionless for hours like a fool. Tanya dared not move the entire time.Thinking of that, she was enraged.She walked over to her subordinates, who were tied up, and kicked one of them several times.“I brought you here to do one job! But you useless pieces of sh*ts can’t even handle a woman. Bring Ivanka to me in three days!”Tanya said that with gritted teeth. Even though she was able to stay composed most of the time, she could not suppress her anger at this moment.Ivanka had fooled and humiliated her. Tanya would retaliate tenfold against her!Seeing her so furious because of what Ivanka had done, Blake walked over and tried to comfort Tanya in a gentle voice. “Rest assured. Whatever you want to do, I’ll…”Before he finished the sentence, Tanya walked off and left him behind.No matter who Bla
Evan knew that his excuse was very silly.But he refused to be the third wheel.Ivanka was puzzled.Lately, Evan had been acting strange, even though he was normally mature and composed.“You may go.” Ivanka stared at the bottles of medicine before her and did not question him.But Michael knew why Evan excused himself. He pulled a long face and said nothing.After Evan left, Michael and Ivanka did not interact with each other. The room was completely silent apart from the sound from the stove.“Why don’t you fly home with the Ganoderma nebula?” Michael’s tightly shut lips finally parted. Given that he had not spoken a word for a while, his voice was deep and hoarse.As he spoke, he turned to look at Ivanka, and his gaze was not as sharp and cold as it used to be. There was even a hint of concern and gentleness in it.He had suggested this because he was concerned about her safety.However, it was a difficult time for them both. If Ivanka left him alone in Mirvania, Alexander
Ivanka thought for a moment and said, “If everything goes as planned, we should be back in a day or two.”The next day was the casino’s banquet.The banquet had already been postponed once, and it was unlikely to be delayed again.As long as the event went smoothly and Alexander did not cause any trouble, she and Michael would be able to return home soon.When Sandy heard that it would take another day or two, she rolled her eyes. “Seriously, another day or two? I’m so done with this Mirvania trip!”She would have suspected that Michael was doing this deliberately if nothing had gone wrong and if Michael and Ivanka had not encountered any trouble.Sandy was not the only one feeling exasperated. Ivanka said exasperatedly, “There’s not much I can do right now. I’ve got a lot going on. We’ll talk about it when I get back.”She still remembered Ivan’s request for help.“Okay. I’ve got some things to discuss with you too. It’s pretty late, so you should get some rest.”“Alright,” I
Among these people, Finn, the leader, not only clearly expressed his position to Ivanka but also changed how he referred to Michael.They felt unsettled after Rowan’s recent vomiting of blood, Ivanka’s diagnosis and treatment, and her words.They had hoped to use more poison to counteract the existing one because they were desperate to survive.Ivanka also felt uneasy upon seeing their desperate pleas. She was not a cold-hearted person.She deliberately stated, “Since I promised you before, I’m going to keep my word. Plus, you just saved me and Michael. Don’t worry; as long as I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you!”She then signaled Michael.They stopped talking and focused on preparing the medicine.Unbeknownst to them, a group of people had arrived outside the door.Before they could forcibly break down the door with firepower, they were stopped.The man in charge recognized the person standing at the front of the door. It was Njord, the person-in-charge of Kingzilli
As Bert said this, he lowered his head. He did not dare to meet Njord’s gaze.Njord laughed sarcastically as he looked at Bert with disdain. “I don’t know how Jackie trusts you as one of his close aides. Whether you believe it or not, what difference does it make? Your opinion doesn’t matter. If something really is going on, what could you even do about it?”If Vincenzo had not sent Jackie on another assignment outside Mirvania, Njord would not have had to bring Jackie’s subordinate along for this mission.Bert remained silent. His prejudice against Ivanka was deeply ingrained.... Meanwhile, Ivanka had just finished preparing the medicine in the hotel room. She watched as the four men took it.Noticing their anxious expressions, she calmly said, “You four misused the medicine, so your condition is worse than Lark’s. You’re going to need a full course of treatment. Just rest here at the hotel for now, and when the time comes, we’ll—”The five men interrupted her urgently before
