In the meantime. Leon was on his business with the culprit who was attacking he is a club the previous day.He wasn't going with Arren to the Opera House, so Leon didn't seem to know that his girl had gone missing.Leon is now in the police station, which is investigating his current riot case in the capital.***"Say it clearly! Who orders you?" Leon snapped with a sharp gaze while gripping the collar of the suspect, who was shaking in front of him tightly.A tense atmosphere enveloped the room; the seconds passed slowly, and the silence there was only broken by the sound of each other's breaths.There is no room for lies because every word the suspect says must be able to satisfy Leon, who is controlling him."I did it randomly; why don't you believe it?" said the man without wanting to admit it. But his anxious eyes leaked hidden fear.The man couldn't hold back the surge of fear from Leon's intimidation. He knew the crime boss well enough that if there were no mastermind to guarant
The police officers, along with Arren's guards, were tracking the leader of the secret traders who had disappeared. This woman was also the prime suspect in the disturbance case at Leon's nightclub.Leon checked the tracking device he had on Arren, but the device had also disappeared."Damn! Where is that device?!" he grumbled with seething anger. It seemed that Leon was being played by a fate that infuriated him."I won't forgive any of you if something happens to Arren!" Leon shouted at the guards assigned to protect his beloved. The man couldn't tolerate the monumental failure of this guard team."Forgive us, Boss!"Their apologies were brushed aside as Leon was genuinely worried about Arren's uncertain whereabouts.They continued their search, venturing into the dark corners of the capital. The tension grew because they knew the fugitives they were chasing were dangerous individuals."Arren, please...," Leon couldn't shake his worry and confusion in tracking Arren's whereabouts. Th
Finally, the shortcut that the leader of the X merchants had devised was to dispose of Arren. They wanted to eliminate their connection to the kidnapping case; Arren had to be killed."B-but, Miss," "Shut up! Just follow my orders!""Alright."The thin, gaunt man immediately went to the isolation cell in their hideout. He had no choice but to carry out his boss's instructions."Hey! Girl!" he called out to Arren, who was trembling in the corner of her cell, asleep."What do you want?""Such a pity, your life must end today," he sneered.Arren's eyes widened; she didn't expect him to come to kill her."How dare you!" Arren shouted, this time standing up and assuming a defensive stance. Arren couldn't defend herself."Tsk! Be quiet! Okay, or this will hurt!"The man hadn't drawn his weapon yet, but he had removed his clothes."Let's play for a little while before you die, okay?" he said, approaching Arren with lust in his eyes.Arren struck him with all her strength, which wasn't much.
The man who found Arren immediately checked her pulse.With a racing heart, he felt panic as he saw Arren's critical condition.Without hesitation, he quickly applied pressure to Arren's stab wound to stop the heavy bleeding and tried to calm himself as much as possible.The man skillfully used his scarf to bandage Arren's wound. This was to control the bleeding and apply pressure to the injured area.The man tried to stay focused on providing first aid, even though his hands were now covered in blood."Arren... please, hang in there," he murmured, his voice filled with hope and concern for the girl in his arms.After providing the best first aid he could, the man immediately carried Arren to his car.Before heading to the hospital, he needed to ensure that no traces were left at the scene.Once he felt it was safe, the man carefully evacuated Arren from the life-threatening situation that had brought her to the brink of death.The man was part of the secret merchants who were supposed
"Clark?" she whispered.The man nodded his head."Yes, I'm here, my dear Arren,"Arren couldn't believe her eyes.Clark? That man was here with her now? How could that be?Arren never thought that the lover who had been abandoned in her village would now be in front of her."W--what are you doing here?" she asked nervously. Arren still didn't expect to meet Clark after all this time."Arren... I should be the one asking you that!"Clark answered angrily. He had spent time looking for Arren everywhere but could not find the girl."I--I,""Ssh...,"Clark's fingers collided gently with Arren's lips. The girl could even feel a strange vibration running through her body."Clark... Sorry,"Arren could only say those words to the man who had been her lover for some time. Their love story has ended with the unilateral decision of a cruel incident.Arren's relationship with Clark was lovers when her father handed her over to satisfy the lust of Leon, the mafia.Arren didn't want to drag Clark i
After conducting a detailed search, Leon's men found a hospital that received patients with stab wounds several hours ago.Leon immediately went to the hospital. However, the nurses and security team prevented him from entering and examining the patient mentioned."Are you her family?" asked the nurse firmly."Yes!" Leon answered with a shout.He immediately broke through the main door to go to the intensive care room."Catch him!" the nurse shouted at the security team on guard.They immediately arrested Leon, who came alone without an escort."Sir! Don't make things difficult for us! Show us proof that you are Arren's family. A guardian is already waiting for her. You cannot replace the guardian unless you're her husband!" shouted the nurse, who looked annoyed at Leon's behavior.The man's face darkened. "Someone, you say?" he repeated angrily."Who is the bastard who has been with my lover? How dare!" Leon shouted as if he was losing patience."Go away! If you are not her husband!"
Arren's normal bed felt shrank with Leon's presence. Unlike Clark, who just sat next to Arren, Leon was also lying on her bed. Arren couldn't force him to move because she didn't want to wake him. The man looked tired.According to the lawyer who was with Leon some time ago. The man didn't sleep for two nights because he was looking for Arren's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, Arren felt touched. However, she did not give up her intention to take up on Clark's plan."Emhh..." Leon groaned. It seemed he was dreaming of something. Cold sweat began to trickle down his broad forehead.Arren immediately wiped it off and gently caressed Leon's face so his nightmare wouldn't carry him away."Ssshh...," Arren whispered, gently nurturing Leon with all her heart, unexpectedly. Leon, who was frowning in his sleep, slowly put on a peaceful face after hearing Arren's voice."Mom...," muttered Leon, who was talking in his sleep.Arren gasped. Is Leon currently looking for his mother? What are Leon's pare
In the gripping darkness, the wounded prisoners slowly began to open their eyes.Firstly, the woman who led the X merchant group, Linn. She started to move her fingers.Despite still feeling pain, Linn quickly regained her senses and remembered the recent tragic events.βArrgh...β Linn groaned while surveying her surroundings.She saw nothing except a dimly lit room with makeshift medical equipment that had saved them from a deadly accident a while ago.But a moment later, she noticed something from the symbols adorning the walls.βThis...,β she muttered, her voice trembling.As her awareness returned, she began to piece things together.βIsnβt this Ironcamp?β Linn guessed her current location, recalling the swastika symbols and devilβs horns, the symbols of the dark kingdomβs boss, Napoli Toredo.βYouβve awakened, it seems,β Napoli said sharply, with a faint, mocking smile.The prisoners were in an emergency facility in the Thunderon Mountains, owned by Napoli.βShh... Be quiet!β he g
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
