Revenge of the Sultry Goddess 108. Agreement
Vasky smiled gleefully upon hearing Kevin’s agreement for teaming up with him. After the two shook hands, he then said, “Now what we need is a further plan to take Gustav’s dirty company down.”"I'm sure the detective you hired to investigate this exploitation case has worked hard, but we have to go to the location," said Kevin as he returned the red folder to its owner. "Tell me, Vasky. Do those people live near Brussels, or at least Belgium?"Vasky shook his head. "I think you're right, Mr. Kevin, we have to take a look to collect stronger evidence. As for the location, they live in a small town in Germany called Zimmerscheid. "“Please, just call me Kevin. I think we’re around the same age,” the host asked, “How far is it from Brussels, by the way?”“Let me see,” Vasky checked on his phone, then showed the result to Kevin. “Fortunately, it’s not too far. Only around three hours ride by car.”“Excellent,” Kevin exclaimed in joy, then looked at Vasky. “So, who's going there

Two days after the call, Carlin’s chief editor agreed upon meeting them. That morning, Vanya and Kevin went together to Borderless Media where her best friend worked. As they arrived at the parking lot, Vasky had arrived there first. After parking his car, Kevin got out and followed the bespectacled man.“Wow, you’re so early,” greeted Kevin, “Did you wait too long?”“If you mean waiting for Carlin, yes it's quite a long time,” Vasky said and shook Kevin’s hand. “She should be here ten minutes ago, but here I am, still waiting.”Just at the right moment, the building doors swung open, revealing Carlin to greet them. She apologized, “I’m sorry, we just finished a meeting. Please, follow me.”“At last,” sneered Vasky which was immediately stopped as Kevin nudged his arm, asking him to be quiet.The guests went inside the building and were led by Carlin to walk through a hallway. Vanya cleared her throat and opened the conversation, “So, have you talked about this with your chi
Revenge of the Sultry Goddess 110. Suspicious Meeting
After meeting with the editor-in-chief of Borderless Media that day, the quartet made plans to head to Zimmerscheid next weekend. They gathered at a small cafe not too far from Carlin’s office and held a meeting there."I happen to have free time tomorrow," said Kevin once when his team was having a discussion. He turned around to the remaining members and asked, “Besides Vanya, can you meet me tomorrow at my office?”“I can,” said Vasky with no hesitation. “When will it be?”“I don’t think I have free time tomorrow, Kevin,” replied Carlin in regret, “I still have some works to do and be finished before our leaving for Zimmerscheid.”“Ah, don’t worry.” smiled Vanya, trying to ease her best friend’s thought, “Finish your work first, Carlin. We'll let you know later when a decision has been made.”Vasky gave a relieved look and nonchalantly spoke his thought, “At last, we could have the discussion in peace.”Hearing the unwanted remark, Carlin immediately glared at Vasky. “W
Revenge of the Sultry Goddess 111. Shocking Truth
“At last, Gregory,” Gustav opened the conversation as he held a glass of champagne in his raised hand. “You’ll only need a little more move to get rid of Kevin from Autoekomsten. Why don’t we celebrate this success.”“Ah, you’re so right, Gustav,” chortled Gregory as he cheered with the gray-haired man. After taking a sip of the champagne, he carried on by saying, “At first I didn't think that teaming up with my nephew's rival company could become the biggest weapon to overthrow his position in that company. This is for you too, Gustav. I owe you a lot.”“It’s not a big deal,” said Gustav as a smug smile was stretched on his pompous face. “You never told me before the reason why you wanted to bring Kevin down.”Gregory paused a moment, then said, “It’s kind of a long story, and this involves Johan, Kevin’s late father, and my brother.”Without being asked, Gregory disclosed everything, “After his death, I read the will he w
Revenge of the Sultry Goddess 112. Runaway
“What are you doing here, little girl?” growled Gregory with a sharp, piercing glare directed at Vanya.At first, Gustav didn’t recognize who Gregory was talking to. He then turned his face and was perplexed upon noticing it was the same girl who sold Autoekomsten’s blueprint to him months prior. Gustav soon realized that she might be eavesdropping on his conversation with the current influential man at Autoekomsten.“You…” Gustav hissed as he gave a death stare to the girl.Realizing she was caught red-handed by the two men, Vanya immediately grabbed her bag and rushed out of the restaurant, leaving the half-eaten egg bendict on the table.Gustav immediately stood up and was about to chase her who was paying the bills. To his surprise, Gregory held him back and stated, “Hold your horses, Gustav.”“No way, we have to come after her,” insisted the gray-haired man. The infuriated look on his face was mixed with fear, something he never let show to anyone. “Don’t you realize she’s your n

Gustav could only stare intently at the yellow taxi that was now speeding away from where he stood. It was useless even though he ran after the four-wheeled vehicle Vanya was riding on. While catching his breath, the gray-haired man thought of another plan to catch the woman who had presumptuously eavesdropped on his secret conversation with Gregory."Verdammt!" cursed Gustav while clenching his fists. He felt furious because the snake woman could escape so easily while carrying a very, very dangerous message if it reached the ears of her nemesis, Kevin. The man reached into his pocket and put a cigarette to his lips. He then struck his lighter and sucked in the opium deeply, trying to calm his frantic mind.Not far from where he stood, Gregory had just left the restaurant building after paying the bill for both of them. Plans to have lunch and negotiate about the continuation of their collusion at Autoekomsten were disrupted by the presence of someone who was not invited. Upon se

In the wake of his fractured friendship with Kevin, Niels' once-glamorous life had crumbled into ruins. No longer surrounded by luxury and prestige, he found himself wandering aimlessly through the city's shadows. Days melted into nights as he sought solace in the bottom of countless bottles, the alcohol a temporary refuge from the bitter reality that had consumed him.Gambling dens became his second home, their flashing lights and enticing promises offering a fleeting escape from the void that had settled within him. The thrill of chance, the flicker of hope that luck might smile upon him once again, was a respite from the weight of his failures. Yet, with every roll of the dice and every spin of the wheel, his debts deepened, becoming a chain that bound him tighter to his self-inflicted misery.The once-confident Niels had become a mere shadow of himself, a man plagued by regrets and "what ifs." His finances lay in tatters, a reflection of the chaos that now raged within him. Th

The night was an unpredictable mistress, not yet whispering for him to retreat. With aimless determination, he found himself in the park, its shadows alive with people as forgotten as the stars in the city sky.He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, the sound lost in the murmur of the street. "One day, Niels, you'll have a VIP spot right here, eh?" he mumbled, his words a half-hearted jest.But the night has ears, and it seems the universe has a way of having the last laugh. A voice, worn and weathered by life's trials, floated back to him from the darkness. "Careful what you wish for, lad."Niels turned to see a figure, cloaked in tattered layers, rising from the shadows like a spirit conjured by his words. It was as if the very air held an electric charge, sparking with a challenge.The homeless man stepped closer, his eyes gleaming with an edge tha

Carlin, quick as ever, wasted no time seizing the opportunity for a light-hearted jab."Vasky," she teased, a grin tugging at the corners of her lips, "you look like the result of a fashion experiment gone awry. Did you raid a costume store from the '90s?"Vasky's expression was a mixture of exasperation and amusement. "Carlin," he retorted, his tone laced with dry humor, "some of us appreciate timeless cl
