Amid the police investigation deadlock, Ford and Leon felt the pressure. They knew that to uncover the truth behind the riot, they needed support from the critical witnesses among the guests."You know, right? Who doesn't know you, Boss? They're afraid of speaking out and getting caught by those two wild animals out there," Ford concluded about the guests' reluctance to speak.The guests certainly wanted to avoid adding more trouble to their lives. Leonard Connor, the most dangerous man in the capital, and his rival, Napoli Toredo, were equally terrifying.In this world, anyone in their right mind would consciously avoid connecting with dangerous men like Leonard Connor and Napoli Toredo. They knew that even the slightest involvement with these dangerous men could significantly risk their lives.Leonard Connor and Napoli Toredo could be called arch-nemeses, uncompromising enemies in the criminal world. Over time, their rivalry deepened, creating constant and inevitable conflicts.Many
CLANG!Another bullet whizzed past, but this time, it hit the staircase railing leading into the pool.Luckily, Arren managed to dodge it. She immediately ducked and crawled behind some rocks not far from the pool.Shouts from the guards alerted her to the sudden attack.Initially, Arren was still frozen after witnessing the girl she had been with suddenly collapse, bleeding heavily."Eleven o'clock!" one of the guards shouted, trying to identify the source of this sudden attack.Following his comrade's guidance, another guard rushed in that direction. Their footsteps echoed up to the rooftop directly facing the hill.BANG!A return shot was fired toward the hill after a guard spotted a suspicious figure.Some of the guards headed toward the base of the hill. They are going to catch the attacker directly.Tensions dominated that tragic night, and Arren seemed to vanish from the rocks. She briefly sought refuge there before being secretly evacuated by the guards."Oh, dear... the girl i
Arren, who had fainted, finally regained consciousness. She looked for Leon, but Poppy informed her that her master was at the edge of Canadak territory, making arrangements with his rival, Napoli Toredo.It had become common knowledge that their feud had no end, even since Leon's father passed away. As the saying goes, true friends can become deadly enemies when their visions no longer align.The Connor and Toredo families initially ran the nightclubs and drug business in harmony and mutual support. However, when Leon's father fell ill, he started taking over his father's business empire, eliminating the other family.Leon deeply despised narcotics because his father and drug business left no traces behind. He had childhood trauma associated with the illicit substance.When Leon's father passed away, he obliterated the agreement between Connor and Toredo and severed the unilateral cooperation. Leon didn't care about the consequences his decision brought.Leon didn't want to deal with
Leon has been at Napoli headquarters all day, and Arren hasn't seen him since then. The girl doesn't really care about him.Arren hates Leon a lot.How can he be so cold and cruel? He still can't accept the fact that one of his guards is critical and fighting in the operating room due to Leon's attack last night.Leon shouldn't have attacked Arren's guard, who was also his insider.Leon should focus on searching for the sniper who threatened his mistress.How can someone's mindset become so impractical? Arren really doesn't understand."How is he doing?" Arren asks one of the guards on duty today."He has passed the critical stage, Miss. You don't need to worry," he replies.Arren feels relieved to hear that. She really needs to get out of this hellish world.Arren can't stand dealing with Leon's cruelty any longer.When she walks in the park, Arren can still feel the presence of the girl, Hillis' daughter, by her side.She will never forget her promise to seek justice for Hillis.Arre
Arren, who was naked, looked surprised by Leon's presence. Isn't that guy dead? Or not yet?"Le--leon? What are you doing at this hour?" Arren covered her innocent body with both hands.Leon automatically slammed the door he had opened. He stepped angrily towards the girl, his face red, his breath ragged.Arren seemed to have provoked Leon's animal instincts so that he unconsciously made himself prey voluntarily."You're waiting for me?" Leon whispered with a grip that made the hairs on Arren's neck bristle."N--no. I just finished showering," said Arren with weak legs because she couldn't hold back the rush of desire that was starting to creep up on her."Hmβ¦ Really?" Leon started to whisper, then launched an attack on his neck. Leon kissed her slowly, then played with her vagina, which was not covered by any single piece of cloth.Leon's fingers began to penetrate, causing pleasure that Arren had never imagined before."Mmhβ¦.," Arren groaned, feeling the sensation surge from within h
Arren was taken aback; she hadn't expected Leon to have hidden cooking talents. As a woman, Arren felt defeated."You're joking, right?" Arren seemed skeptical of Leon's words."Is joking supposed to be like that?" Leon asked in return because he had never made a joke in his entire life."I don't know," Arren lazily answered Leon's strange question.His life didn't seem normal, and it's no wonder he never made jokes."If you like, I'll cook steak for you often," he continued, then wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin after finishing his meal."R-really?" Arren couldn't believe her ears."Don't you like it?" Leon asked again."I like... I like," Arren couldn't hide her delight. Leon, that man suited her taste in every way, except for his attitude at the beginning of meeting her."Alright."Arren's midday breakfast passed in an exciting atmosphere. She began to notice Leon's attention points that he had never shown before.***Before his boss, the sniper appeared behind the Thunde
Leon was slightly surprised by Arren's request for a vacation. However, he tried to hide his disappointment. Leon felt that keeping Arren in his domain was the right decision. He didn't want anyone else to know or covet Arren's beauty, which drove him wild.Leon took a deep breath, trying to understand Arren's wishes. Even though that was his initial intention, he couldn't let Arren feel bored or tormented in their relationship.Somehow, Leon was in a dilemma between his emotions and rationality, as if they were on different paths."All right, if that's what you want," Leon said with a heavy tone. He finally gave in and chose to grant her request."Really? Can we go to the capital?" Arren asked.Leon's initially friendly face turned angry."Do you want to run away from me?" This time, Leon rose from his bed. He forcibly spread Arren's arms above her and pinned her down."Arrendice Hart, listen carefully. You are my captive for life. You won't be able to escape from me just like that!"
Bugh!A basketball nearly hit Arren's head, but luckily, Leon quickly deflected it, though he ended up with a minor muscle injury in his arm. Leon winced in pain, but he didn't show it explicitly. Arren sensed that something was amiss with his behavior."Sir, Ma'am, please forgive us. Son, apologize to this man," a woman who seemed to be of similar age to Leon said."I'm sorry, sir," a young boy, who had unintentionally thrown the basketball toward Arren and Leon, spoke up. The boy had been trying to show off his basketball skills but had thrown it recklessly."Mom already told you, play on the court, not the street!" his mother scolded, glancing at her son."Yes, Mom," replied the boy, who looked to be around eight, with a dejected expression."It's alright. Just be careful next time," Leon said, not wanting to make a big deal of the incident with the two strangers.Arren briefly glanced at Leon, then checked her hand, which looked reddened."Your hand is red; I'll get you an ice pack
The tip of the dagger was bent. No one would have expected that a sharp dagger could change its shape like that."No-no!" the servant cried out. She was very confused. How could Arren's stomach, which should have been stained with blood, bend the dagger without any effort?In a decisive moment, the dagger had undergone plastic deformation, like a metal dance changing its shape without being able to return to its original state."W-what's happening?" The servant wondered with trembling hands. Arren just smiled triumphantly. Her opponent had been thoroughly defeated without calculation."I anticipated this, Lesel," Arren said with a proud face.Yes. Lesel. It turned out she was Esme's henchman who was so eager to take her life."H-how did you know?"Arren immediately tore the tulle fabric covering her stomach. There was a shiny accessory there. A steel belt."W-what?"At first, the rumble and vibration were indeed felt by Lesel. She didn't expect that the collision between the dagger and
The blonde servant pursed her lips, while the black-haired one kept staring straight ahead."Fine!" she replied somewhat annoyed, but indeed their plan must not be ruined."I'll keep watch around. You need to get ready soon.""Okay."The two suspicious servants then continued their secret mission. There wasn't much for them to do except find their target and carry out their revenge."It seems he's on the west balcony. Wait for my signal, we'll launch the attack soon!""Okay!"***The atmosphere of the banquet was still lively with the melodious music playing softly in the background. Some guests enjoyed it while dining, while others continued chatting. Arren and Leon seemed happy as they greeted the guests present."It seems... I feel stifled," Arren whispered to Leon. This pregnancy made her easily tired and also felt hot all the time."Do you want to leave this place?" Leon asked, wrapping his arm around his wife's waist."Yes," Arren replied weakly."Let's go, then," said Leon, affe
Ava's eyes sparkled with happiness. She nodded eagerly and hugged Arren in return. "Thank you, Aunt!"Ava didn't expect that her birthday would be celebrated with a special feast, even though the feast wasn't specifically held for her."You're welcome, Ava!" Arren replied in kind. She was happy to cheer up her little friend who seemed down and lacking in spirit due to the absence of her parents."We have to go, Ava. This is for you," said Leon as he handed over a wrapped gift box with a purple ribbon on top."W-what's this, Sir?" Ava asked, surprised and delighted. She didn't expect to receive a gift from Mr. Leon on a day that wasn't her birthday."Consider it an installment gift," Leon joked, chuckling softly."Ahaha! Thank you so much!" exclaimed Ava as she opened the gift wrap. Inside was a brown fur teddy bear. "So cute!" Ava exclaimed happily. Arren and Leon were pleased to see her reaction.Shortly afterward, they really had to leave as there was something they needed to ensure
After some time in the hospital, Arren was finally allowed to go home. There were no signs of danger or contraindications from the treatment she received."Thank you, Doctor. I feel much healthier," Arren said after the doctor visited her for the last time."You're welcome, Madam. I'm glad you've recovered without difficulty."Doctors Freddy and Josh watched Arren leave with relieved hearts. Finally, their worries were gone. Arren was truly free from the danger that threatened her life.***On the way home, Leon kept staring at Arren with uncertain feelings. He was truly happy with his wife's recovery, but there was something that worried him."Are you sure about your plan? I don't want to put you in danger again, Darling!" Leon exclaimed, not wanting to endanger his wife anymore."There's no other way. We can do it, Darling!" Arren said firmly with strong determination.Leon sighed deeply. He couldn't prevent his wife's stubbornness. "Promise me, you'll stick to our plan.""Yes, Darli
"Sir! You're mistaken!" the nurse exclaimed, holding Leon's arm to prevent him from punching the doctor."What?!" Leon turned to the nurse. He was exhausted and couldn't tolerate any more mistakes from the doctor that would result in his children being born with defects."You misunderstood, Sir!""Yes, that's right!""Your children are fine, Sir."The voices of the nurse and doctor echoed. Leon lowered his fist and looked towards Dr. Freddy, who seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief."Tell me, Doctor! What happened to my wife and my children?!" Leon demanded, still full of anger.Before the doctor could answer, Arren's faint voice could be heard behind the nurse standing by the bed."Leβonβ¦" she called softly."Arren!" Leon pushed aside the nurses covering his wife's presence. "Arren!" Leon approached Arren, tears streaming down his face. "Are you... awake?" he asked, gently caressing his wife's forehead."Uh huh," Arren replied weakly. "What happened? Why does it seem crowded here?"
Leon gripped Arren's hand tightly as they rushed to the hospital. Anxiety and worry consumed him. For some reason, Leon had a bad feeling."Driver! Faster!" Leon commanded as he saw Arren grimacing in pain, cold sweat dripping from her forehead and body, Arren's breaths were labored."Yes, Sir!"The driver immediately accelerated the car, doing his best to balance the increasingly speeding vehicle. He was truly worried that the young lady was suffering from an extraordinary ailment."Arren, hold on," Leon pleaded, continuing to comfort Arren with hugs and handholds."Argh, Leon..." Arren groaned as if enduring excruciating pain. Not just in his stomach, but throughout her body."We're almost there!" The driver signaled. Leon was so anxious. He nodded and prepared to take Arren to the emergency room as soon as they arrived at the hospital.Finally, after driving for some time, they arrived at the hospital."Doctor! Doctor!" Leon carried Arren to the ER, where everyone watched them with
Lora was successfully evacuated, and everyone was overjoyed. However, there was a strangeness apparent to her. Arren even noticed it. "Le-Leon...," she called out as Lora approached her.An unfamiliar scent emanated from Lora's body. It made Arren extremely nauseous."Ugh!" Arren vomited. He couldn't contain the overwhelming nausea."Darling!" Leon exclaimed in alarm. What was happening to his wife?"Le-Leon... Lora's... scent... it's very... unpleasant," she murmured as she nestled into her husband's embrace. Leon immediately caught Arren, who had almost fallen earlier. Now, his beloved wife was in a swoon."What scent?" Leon tried to sharpen his sense of smell. Indeed, he smelled something foreign and pungent, like the scent of lead. "Lora, come closer to me!"Leon tried to inhale the scent more deeply. Lora's heart, of course, was in turmoil. But the girl had already linked herself to William. Now, Mr. Leon was no longer the man who dominated her heart."Just wait a moment."With mo
Laurens's shout almost made Mrs. Dolores's heart jump out. "Oh, God!" The middle-aged woman then ran following Laurens's footsteps as he moved toward the field area."Leon! Let's follow them!" Arren exclaimed, following Mrs. Dolores's lead to her daughter's supposedly accident site. Leon followed Arren after ensuring Mrs. Dolores's house was securely closed.Arriving at the field, they were surprised to find Lora in a gaping hole. The hole, with rough soil around it, resembled a dug hole."Ouch!" Lora groaned in pain. Several wounds were visible on her knees and arms. "Mom! Help me!" she cried, tears streaming down her face."Oh, God! Lora! What happened to you?!" Mrs. Dolores trembled. "Laurens! Do something for your sister!" she ordered her son, who also seemed confused."I was just running, then... suddenly I fell in here! Huhu!" Lora continued to cry in pain.Arren and Leon had just arrived, as did the villagers who heard Laurens's shouts nearby."Get a rope!" Leon shouted, rolling
"Lora!" Arren called out, waving her hand. Lora just nodded her head, not returning the gesture of the young miss.Laurens felt uneasy. He elbowed Lora's ribs a little roughly. "Be polite, Lora!" he scolded his younger sister.Lora just snorted and turned away. She then ran off home without saying goodbye, without uttering a word.Arren, who was quite far from them, looked puzzled. However, she didn't dwell on it too much. There were many villagers waiting to talk to her."So, how will you develop our village, Miss Leader?" asked a middle-aged man who seemed to be struggling to find work.Arren just smiled and gave a brief answer. She didn't want to make empty promises. Arren would surely do her best. "You must be patient but diligent. When the village programs are finally implemented, I hope the villagers will truly make the most of them.""Thank you, Miss Leader! We will definitely do that!"Leon looked proud of Arren's gentle yet firm attitude. Arren could indeed be a good leader, l
