While he made his pitch, Torsten's hand crept over to stroke Celena's hand, his nose hovering near her neck, inhaling deeply, a look of rapture on his face.He breathed in her scent, not the overpowering perfume that clung to other women, but a subtle, natural fragrance that was all Celena's.Torsten was captivated by her scent. Taking in deep breaths, he murmured, "Ms. Stone, you're truly one in a million, with a natural scent like yours. I've met my share of women, but none quite like you..."Tears streamed down Celena's face, her expression one of pure terror. Overcome with fear, her body was rigid, trembling non-stop. Her hands, though bound, were balled into fists, trying to hold onto some semblance of composure. She bit her lip so hard that a trickle of blood began to form."Mr. Williams, please, I'm begging you... let me go," Celena wept, her voice breaking with despair. "I'm married, I have a husband..."Please, you've got it all wrong about me. I'm not that kind of woman.
Torsten watched Celena's despair, his smile twisting into something grotesque, a perverse thrill rising in his chest.He caressed her cheek with a vile grin, taunting her, "Ms. Stone, you might as well stop struggling. No amount of screaming will bring anyone to your rescue. Save your strength. You'll need it to entertain me soon enough..."Through her sobs, Celena pleaded, "No... please... I'm begging you, let me go... I'm married..."She turned her head, trying to escape his vile touch, her cries filled with terror as Torsten's excitement grew with every display of her despair."So you're married? No big deal. Any woman I, Torsten, set my sights on has no chance of getting away!"With a swift motion, Torsten yanked Celena's coat from her shoulders, clutched it in his hands, and inhaled deeply, a look of rapture on his face. "Mmm, that scent is intoxicating."Celena's scream pierced the air as she thrashed wildly, her wrists raw and bleeding where the ropes dug in."You better
A twisted smirk crept across Torsten's menacing face as he watched Liam stride toward him, utterly dismissive of the threat. "Ha!" He scoffed with icy derision. "So you're Liam, the leech living off his wife, the doormat son-in-law?"Liam's gaze snapped to Celena, bound to a chair, her coat discarded at her feet. Her once smooth arms were marked with angry red lines from the ropes, some spots bleeding from the harsh bindings.Liam's eyes blazed with a fierce, crimson fury, his stare drilling into Torsten as if it could ignite the very air with the intensity of his wrath.His fists crackled ominously as he clenched them tight, and with a venomous snarl, he bellowed, "Lay a finger on my wife, and you're a dead man!!"Torsten's response was a derisive, mocking laugh, his face twisted in scorn as he looked down his nose at Liam. "Really? You're quite the cocky one, aren't you? Bold enough to storm into this hotel solo. I'll give you this—you've got guts."As they spoke, Torsten casual
As Torsten hurled insults at Celena, Liam's face turned to stone, and a wave of lethal fury washed over him. He locked his eyes onto Torsten with deadly intent. Unfazed by Torsten's taunting stare, Liam strode toward him and said with icy resolve, "I've warned before anyone who dares harm my family will face the consequences. Do you want a death wish? I'm happy to oblige!" Torsten's face twisted with rage, his eyes blazing with a thirst for violence as he bellowed back, "Bring it on! You want a death wish, kid? You got it!" With a roar, Torsten swung his fist in a feint and then launched a swift kick aimed at Liam's head—a move that had spelled the end for many before. Torsten was sure of his technique and convinced that once his foot connected, Liam would be done for it. A vicious smirk played on his lips, already savoring the victory. However, in the next breath, his smirk vanished. Celena, gripped by fear for her husband, cried out, "Watch out, honey!" Yet Liam remained
Liam did not bother with a response. With a swift punch to the chest, he sent Torsten flying across the room, the man's body slamming into the bookshelf of the presidential suite, shattering it into splinters.Torsten hit the floor hard, blood spurting from his mouth, his eyes wide with shock as he gazed up at Liam.Liam's laugh was chilling. "The Nasso Group? The martial arts school? They mean nothing to me. If they dare touch my family, they'll cease to exist."Torsten's eyes bulged, disbelief etched on his face as he screeched, "You wouldn't dare! They're the Nasso Group, the martial arts school! If you lay a finger on me, the Nasso family's second-in-command won't let you off the hook!"Liam's face was an icy mask, his presence radiating a chilling intent to kill as he strode toward Torsten without a word. With a scornful chuckle, he raised his foot and slammed it down hard onto Torsten's chest.The force of the blow shattered several of Torsten's ribs, the sound of snapping b
"And you had the audacity to lay hands on her, you're done for!!"Liam's face turned to stone, and he stomped down on Torsten's chest with a force that ended it all.A sickening crack filled the air, followed by Torsten's gurgling blood.Torsten's eyes were wide with shock, his mouth a gory mess, his pleas choked off as his chest collapsed inward, and he died instantly.The sight of Torsten's gruesome end would have sent those wealthy businessmen who once courted him into a state of shock.That was the mightiest War King instructor at Nasso's Martial Arts School, and he was crushed without a chance to strike back by Liam's hand.The terror of it was overwhelming.Liam's face remained unreadable as he learned of Torsten's demise. Without a word, he quickly walked over to where Celena was tied up."It's okay now, Celena. You're safe," he said softly.With gentle hands, Liam untied the ropes that bound her. He winced when he saw the marks they had left on her delicate wrists, his
A master with the strength of a War King and his ten disciples all murdered at the hotel? Unbelievable!What in the world was happening?Torsten was supposed to show up with ten of his martial arts academy students to give Liam a hard time and stir up trouble for the Stones, wasn't he?The rumor mill had been churning, and everyone was eager to watch the Stone family's spectacle. However, then, shockingly, Torsten was dead!?The Stones got wind of that too.Reginald wasted no time. As soon as he heard the news, he rounded up the family, calling an emergency meeting in the villa's grand parlor.The mood in the room was heavier than when they found out they were in the crosshairs of the Nasso Group.Every Stone family member there, including Reginald, wore grave expressions. The room was silent.Reginald, his face dark with worry and leaning heavily on his cane, took a few long minutes before he rapped his cane on the floor and spoke with a steely edge, "You've all heard the news
A sudden realization hit Yafe, and his face turned ashen, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. If Liam had indeed killed Torsten and the others, it would spell disaster for the Stone family! Reginald's expression darkened considerably as he listened to Yafe, his brows knitting together in deep concern.Hayden's brow was knitted in concentration before he finally spoke up. "Dad, are we maybe making too much of this? Mr. Williams is a top-tier fighter, a real War King. Liam's got some moves, sure, but next to Mr. Williams, he's out of his league..."Walter nodded in agreement. "You're right. Liam's just a tough guy. There is no way he can stand up to Mr. Williams, and let's not forget the ten disciples from the Nasso Martial Arts School. They might not be on Mr. Williams' level, but I've heard they're the cream of the crop."Liam couldn't have taken them all out by himself, could he??"The room fell into a heavy silence at the thought.That's Torsten, after all.A fighter o
