"No! I didn't!" Jasmine screamed.She had only…Added some aphrodisiac to Alain's glass of water.And added some knockout drugs to Eden's glass of water."No?" Alain stood up and slowly walked toward Jasmine, peering down at her. "We've already analyzed the presence of toxins in the water you poured for us. Do you want to read the test report?"Jasmine looked at Alain in shock. "Impossible. I only added some aphrodisiacs and sedatives to the drinks. They're not poisonous.""So, you acknowledge that you spiked the drinks?" Alain's tone turned icy, and his demeanor became hostile.Jasmine was so scared by his demeanor that she stepped back. But very quickly, she regained her composure and crawled over to grab Alain's pants. She begged, "I'm... I'm so sorry... It's just that I love you too much. I’ve never thought about committing murder, and I wouldn't commit murder. Please forgive me, Alain. I won't do it ever again."She finally understood that it wasn't Eden behind this.It w
Caelus drove the car back to Skygarden.Since it was a bit of a drive, Eden closed her eyes.After a while, Caelus suddenly slammed on the brakes. Eden lurched forward but managed to keep her balance and avoid falling.She frowned and was about to speak when Caelus said seriously, "We have a problem, Ms. Griffith. Please stay in the car."Caelus got out of the car.Only then did Eden see a group of men surrounding the vehicle, each armed with a steel pipe.She narrowed her eyes.But since Caelus had asked her to stay inside, she decided to follow his instructions.Though she had never seen Caelus fight, Eden knew he was strong and should be able to handle a gang of goons.She watched as Caelus tried to negotiate with them for a moment before the situation escalated into a fight.Caelus was skilled, but…Not far away, dozens of vans pulled up, and a large group of gangsters approached.Caelus frowned and quickly returned to the car. "Ms. Griffith, drive. I'll handle this."
Eden turned around with a cold glint in her eyes. A needle appeared in her hand, and she flicked it out with a quick motion.In that instant, a shrill sound cut through the air.The needle intercepted the bullet, causing both to fall to the ground.Eden moved swiftly, grabbing the man by his collar. Her voice was as cold as winter's breath. "Where did you get the gun?"The man gritted his teeth. "You're dead! Our boss won't let you get away with this! The Aradias serve Boss Griffith."The man was Darren Brown, one of Solus' more resourceful subordinates.He knew Solus' temper well after having served him for so long.Initially, Solus merely wanted to vent his anger on Eden. But now? Eden had to die.That was Solus' rule. That was the underworld's rule.Eden tightened her grip on him, her demeanor chilling. "Tell your people to come here. All of them."Darren didn't expect her to be so bold. "You asked for it."He didn’t wait and quickly dialed Solus’ number.It took less th
"Help?" Kyle immediately punched Darren. "If you don’t tell me everything right now, I’m going to tear you apart, you bastard!"Under Boss Griffith's orders, no one was allowed to have any fun.When they took over Estburg, they had already seized all the guns from those who surrendered.And now the Aradias wanted to use those guns to commit murder?Forget about how Boss Griffith would deal with the Aradias. Darren would lose his life first."Well… Boss Solus bought it from an arms dealer in Springburg. It has nothing to do with us!" Darren groaned in pain on the ground after taking a couple of hits from Kyle."The Aradias, huh?"Kyle narrowed his eyes and ordered his men, "Eliminate them all! We’re wiping the Aradias out today!""No!" Darren pleaded from the ground. "Boss Kyle, we’ve been supporting Boss Griffith all this time! Why are you turning on us without any reason?""Without any reason?" Kyle glared at him coldly. "You messed with someone you shouldn’t have. Wiping you
Meanwhile, a luxury car was speeding down the highway from Springburg to Estburg.Trailing behind it were dozens of black cars, all accelerating in pursuit.In one of the black cars, a man aimed his gun through the open window at the luxury car in front. The bullet struck the luxury car, causing it to tremble.Fortunately, the luxury car was equipped with strong anti-ballistic plating, keeping the passengers inside safe."Damn it!" Horace slammed his hand on the steering wheel after checking the rear-view mirror, accelerating even faster.He dodged the cars behind him and glanced at the back seat. "Sulien, how’s Alain? Can he make it to Estburg?"Sulien responded seriously, "I can't guarantee it. He has four gunshot wounds, and the toxin inside him is worsening. He won’t last much longer!""Do something!" Horace roared, his anger flaring.They hadn’t anticipated running into their old enemies while on a business trip to Springburg. They managed to avoid their pursuers, but Alai
Sulien’s expression also darkened. "Why don’t you check with Boss Griffith first? What if he’s willing to see us? We’re not nobodies either. Given that Boss Griffith has just taken over Estburg, I’m sure he wouldn’t want to make more enemies."Sulien waved his hand and added, "If Boss Griffith is willing to help us with our pursuers, the Rielton’s Ward and Brooks family will owe him one."“The Wards? The Brooks?” The man’s eyes narrowed as he seemed to consider this.He usually didn’t pay much attention to these families, but he remembered hearing that they were quite influential.Horace had only mentioned the Brooks earlier, so that hadn’t registered with him.But now?He needed to inform Boss Griffith immediately.“Wait a moment, I’ll send someone to check…”Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out in the distance.Horace quickly moved aside, narrowly dodging a bullet that flew toward him from behind.They were outnumbered by at least three to one!As Horace
Club Obsidian?Caelus looked at Eden in shock. "Are you sure?"Club Obsidian was Boss Griffith's territory. Why was she heading there?Eden raised an eyebrow and shot him a cold look. "Is there a problem?"Her gaze was so piercing that Caelus felt a chill down his spine. He quickly turned away and said, "None. I'll take you there right now."As they drove, Caelus occasionally glanced at Eden in the back seat. She said nothing and was surrounded by a cold aura.He had never seen Eden like this before.The car arrived at Club Obsidian.Eden got out and said coldly, "Wait for me downstairs.""Ms. G—"Caelus wanted to tell Eden that she needed an invitation to enter Club Obsidian. But she simply walked inside, and the guards didn’t even try to stop her.Caelus watched in disbelief.Who was she, exactly?How could she enter Club Obsidian so freely?The club was notoriously strict. Even Alain needed the owner's permission to enter. How did she do it?Eden entered the club, hea
What Jonathan didn’t know was that ever since Eden and Alain got together, she had become less and less violent.Violence no longer held much meaning for her.As long as no one threatened her, she wouldn’t get into trouble herself. But the Aradias had crossed the line.They would pay the price for that.Eden had just reached the door when it swung open. A subordinate entered and, seeing Eden, immediately approached her. "Boss, there are two people here who want to see you.""Who are they?" Eden asked, surprised.It was unusual for people to come looking for her here."I don’t know their names, but one of them is severely injured and unconscious. They’re here for your help. It looks like they are being pursued and made it to Estburg," the subordinate replied.Eden was silent for a moment before saying, "Since they’re here, protect them. Get them to the hospital and make sure they get home safely.""Understood." The subordinate nodded and headed downstairs.Eden decided not to
