Knife's face darkened. "Newman, what do you mean by this?"Newman grinned broadly, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Boss, I’m really sorry, but I'm more interested in beauty than in power. I don’t want to follow you anymore. Today, I'm leaving the gang."Knife sprang up from the sofa, his face contorted with rage. "You’ve got the guts to say that again!"Newman stood firm, undeterred. "I’ll say it as many times as you want. I'm leaving the gang! I won’t stay any longer.""For a woman?" Knife looked at Newman in disbelief, his eyes filled with a mixture of regret and sorrow. This was his brother in life and death, now ready to walk away for a woman."So what? Boss, we’re just thugs. It’s not easy to find a woman I like. Besides, I’m willing to take care of her. I don’t mind her past. That’s it."As Newman turned to leave, Knife shouted, "Stop right there!"Newman paused. "What? You won’t let me go today?"Knife was furious. "You want to leave for a woman, fine! If you really like her
“It means everything that happened with the gang recently was orchestrated by Newman and me. How’s that? Perfectly executed, wasn’t it? You didn’t see through it at all, did you?” Odelia interjected, her words leaving Knife dumbfounded.“What are you saying? Explain yourself clearly!”Odelia sneered, “What’s wrong? You’re here now, do you still look down on me? You’re just a simple-minded thug with brute strength. Look at you. If we hadn’t told you, you might never have known how you lost your gang.”Knife's eyes widened, bloodshot. “Newman, Newman! I don’t believe her. Tell me, what’s going on?”Newman chuckled coldly. “Boss, even now you’re trying to act superior. Didn’t Odelia already tell you? Everything that happened to the gang was our plan. Don’t ask me why. If you can’t figure that out, you’re better off dead than wasting space in prison.”Knife collapsed into his chair, unable to comprehend, tears streaming down his face. He had invited a wolf into the fold! Everything was de
Solomon paused, looking sympathetically at the couple. “But she didn’t stop there. She then collaborated with another gang leader she had seduced, forming a new gang called the Dragon Gang.”After his introduction, Solomon added, “By the way, the five key leaders of the Dragon Gang are all Odelia’s lovers, and she has become the gang’s big sister and strategist.”Even the well-informed Old Mr. Hiram was left speechless.Such a woman was indeed formidable, and to make her an enemy would be a significant problem!Odgen and Nydia were stunned. The daughter-in-law they had thought to be gentle and graceful was actually so cunning, and her current actions were deeply unsettling.The couple exchanged a grave look, realizing the severity of the situation. Solomon continued, “Uncle, Auntie, I don’t know the specifics of your grudge with Odelia, but one thing is certain: she’s not someone to be trifled with. Be very careful!”Odgen nodded solemnly, while Nydia grew increasingly anxious.They r
Nydia felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness."Is anyone there?" she hesitated, calling out, but there was no response.Time crawled by, each minute feeling like an eternity. Nydia wanted to scream, but she could only swallow her fear, unable to give it voice.Nydia was being held in an abandoned warehouse, where cameras captured her helplessness and fear, transmitting it to a nearby room. In that room, Odelia sat in front of a screen, casually watching Nydia’s torment.Several of Odelia’s henchmen stood behind her, puzzled. “Big sister, what’s so interesting about this old woman? We’ve already kidnapped her. Why not just call for ransom?”Odelia sneered. “This woman has always acted high and mighty. Now that she’s finally in my hands, how can I let her off so easily? Let her stew for a few hours. When the Halsey family starts to panic, we’ll discuss terms.”A cold, decisive light flashed in Odelia’s eyes as she smirked. After a moment, she
"Spit! Don't talk to me about money. Do you think a few bucks can buy everything?" Odelia's eyes were filled with hatred.Nydia looked into her eyes, frightened by the coldness and hatred she saw there."What... what do you really want to do?" she asked.Odelia sneered, "A debt must be repaid, a life for a life! Nydia, you killed my child. It's only fair that you pay with your life, don't you think?"Odelia's voice dropped to a menacing whisper, sending shivers down Nydia's spine. Terrified, Nydia raised her voice, "No! You can't kill me! Besides, that was just an embryo, it wasn't even a child!"Odelia looked at Nydia with cold eyes, seemingly savoring her fear. "Don't worry, I won't kill you now, for old times' sake. But since you owe me a life, shouldn't someone else pay it?"Feigning seriousness, Odelia mused aloud, "Since your son cares so much about Lydia, why not trade her for you?"With that, Odelia picked up a knife and patted Nydia's face with it. Nydia was terrified. This w
"Did you see the photos?""Odelia, what do you want?""Lambert, I used to have a good impression of you. You're handsome, capable, and of high status. If you had chosen me, I would have led a stable life. But you were blind, rejecting a great woman like me for that idiot Lydia. And your mother went further, not only killing my child but also making it impossible for me to become a mother again. Don't you think your family owes me?""So this is revenge?" Lambert asked calmly, his tone steady. "Odelia, I think you need to see a psychologist.""Stop the nonsense! I'm asking you a simple question. Do you want to save your mother or not?"Lambert's pupils contracted slightly, his palms sweating. Despite his outward composure, his heart was racing. Seeing his usually dignified mother being humiliated stirred an indescribable pain within him. After a long pause, Lambert adjusted his emotions and asked, "What do you want?""My demands are simple: a
"I’m not that stupid!" Lambert hung up the phone decisively. Westside warehouse, huh?Lambert indeed wasn't going to call the police, but that didn't mean he couldn't seek help. He made several calls to his friends.Families like theirs typically employed bodyguards, and he intended to use them.Not knowing the exact situation, these bodyguards needed to be prepared and discreet to avoid alerting the enemy.After making the necessary arrangements, Lambert drove towards the Westside warehouse.The Westside warehouse was a cluster of abandoned warehouses on the outskirts of the city, an area notorious for its poor security and a haven for delinquents, even beyond the reach of the police.Odelia’s choice of this location was strategic; unless she exposed herself, it would be hard for anyone to find her.By the time Lambert arrived, it was completely dark.The area was teeming with idlers dressed in bizarre outfits, som
"What will it take for you to release my mother?" Lambert’s tone was somewhat harsh, which made Odelia laugh. He was anxious, which was good for her."Why don’t you beg me? Maybe if you beg, it will work." Odelia suggested, her eyes twinkling mischievously.Lambert remained silent, prompting Odelia to continue, "But begging alone isn’t enough to show your sincerity. How about you kneel and beg? Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll let Nydia go."Nydia's eyes widened with hatred as she glared at Odelia. How dare this woman...Odelia noticed Nydia’s gaze and her expression turned cold. "What are you looking at? Look again and I’ll gouge your eyes out!" She quickly corrected herself, "No, I can’t do that yet. You need to see your son willingly kneel before me."Odelia’s eyes then settled on Lambert. Would this god-like man kneel for his mother? She was oddly excited to find out.With a loud thu
