In the middle of nowhere.The heavy forklift brought Bianca's car to a remote place in the middle of nowhere. They viciously smashed the car’s windows with sledgehammers and then aimed guns at the passengers’ heads, forcing them to get out from the bulletproof car.Right after that, several black Rolls-Royce vehicles surrounded them.Many masked men came down from the cars and brought Bianca and the others captive.To prevent accidents from happening, the driver was taken to a different car from Bianca and her children.Bianca was thankful that the group of thugs were not completely heartless. She would have completely lost her mind and done something foolish if they separated her from her children.Bianca was taken to a military vehicle, and her phone was taken away.The thugs smashed it to pieces right before her eyes.Bianca’s mouth was covered with tape while her hands were bound. It was almost impossible for her to even move an inch.The three children were also tied up w
Meanwhile… Luke had listened to Bianca on the phone while she was kidnapped by the group of unscrupulous thugs. Flames of anger ravaged his entire being. The sheer audacity! Only the people from the League of Shadows could be this bold and put on such a display of arrogance! Kassy was the first person that came to mind when he wondered who could be pulling the strings behind the scenes. He knew full well about Kassy’s ruthlessness. Fearing for his wife and children’s lives, he abandoned his luxury car, hijacked a motorcycle, and bolted to the scene of the incident as fast as he could. However, he was already too late. The crime scene had been cordoned off and about a quarter-mile of the main road was blocked. About 120 people in total were gathered at the scene, comprising of security, special police officers, firemen, and police forces. Dozens of police vehicles could be seen. A large number of police officers and good citizens were helping with the accident. Many were inj
Bianca looked around, observing her surroundings as if looking for an escape route…One of the thugs used the butt of their rifle and slammed it into her head before roaring at her, “You’d better sit still! I’m going to dig your eyes out of you if you look around again!”The eerie echo of his voice rang throughout the factory, making it sound even more spooky.Bianca moved her gaze away as she felt her head pulsing with pain from the blow.She glared fiercely at the thug who hit her in the head, but at the same time, they were already pushing her toward a metal pillar that had a girth of two grown adults.The pillar was at the gates of the factory.The vile thug tightly bound Bianca onto the pillar with a thick rope. The knots that he tied seemed to have no gaps in between them at all.Then, he gripped her face with his black, sticky hands as he snickered. “So soft, this little lady is so soft...”He had never given up his lust for Bianca. He grabbed her slender waist and sniff
The sound of high heels clicked as they touched the floor, reminding one of the doom of hell. The noise rang throughout the entire factory, sending shivers down one’s spine.The thugs who were hiding in the dark fell into two files as they welcomed the woman’s arrival.Bianca’s eyes could not help but constrict the moment she noticed a woman’s tall and slim silhouette.The blonde woman looked very young and beautiful, but there was an air of arrogance around her. The arrogance came from her very core. Her arrogance felt different from Mavis’ as if she was born to be an empress. She looked down on every single person as if they were beneath her.Kassy.Despite the fact that Bianca had never met Kassy and everything she knew about her was from what Luke had told her, her sixth sense told her that this was the Kassy who had unfinished business with her husband.Kassy was tightly surrounded by six bodyguards. They had a bulky mass around their waists, and Bianca was sure that those w
Staring at the translucent, green fluid, Bianca suddenly had a bad feeling in her gut.She had no idea what Kassy wanted to do, but she could tell from the expression on her face that it was nothing good. Bianca realized that she and her children had landed themselves in big trouble today.Kassy strutted over to Bianca like a cat with the syringe in her hand.She noticed Bianca staring at the syringe, so she explained it to her, “Do you know what this is? This is an aphrodisiac specially made by the League of Shadows. With just one drop, even the purest of women will become the wildest, most promiscuous female in the world. Do you want to have a taste of this, hm? Say, if all of the liquid is injected into your body, I don’t think that all of the men here will be enough to satisfy you...”Bianca shook with fear when she noticed the sinister smile on Kassy’s face.This woman had the face of a goddess but a heart full of poison!The words that came out of Kassy’s mouth next made Bi
Kassy injected the fluid completely into Tommy’s body as she laughed maniacally.To her, the kid was as despicable as his mother. They should both go to hell!Bianca stared at them in disbelief as her heart ran wild. Her nails dug into her palms, making them bleed. Her tears also flowed down her cheeks like a river as she called out in pain and agony, “No, Tommy, my baby!”She knew that Kassy was evil, but she never expected that she would be so extreme that she would not even spare a three-year-old kid!The fluid that Kassy injected Tommy with was the world’s strongest aphrodisiac. An adult could not even resist its effects, much less a toddler who had not even grown up yet.Bianca could not imagine what kind of pain her child would have to go through after being injected with that liquid...“You despicable woman! I never thought that you’d be so evil that you wouldn’t even spare a kid… No wonder you can never win a man’s heart. You deserve it! Hahaha, your life is destined to b
On the other hand... Tommy’s reaction disappointed her after he was injected with the liquid. It made her doubt the authenticity of the drug, but Kassy still ordered the thugs to inject the remaining two children. After all, drugs like this were priceless. Every single one had been meticulously made, so there was not even a spare vial for use. She roared at the thugs, “Inject these brats with the liquid. I want to turn them into monsters!” “No! Don’t hurt my babies. Kassy, didn’t you want me to kneel and beg? Please, just please let go of my kids… You can do whatever you want to me, but the kids are still too young. They’re innocent. As long as you let them go, I’ll do anything, I swear…” Bianca did not let out even a sound when she was being beaten by Kassy. She would rather suffer those beatings than see any harm befall her children. The children were her armor, but they were also her Achilles’ heel. From the moment Kassy made her move on Tommy, a piece had broken off B
Listening to the rough sounds and the agonized moans of the woman coming from the inside, all the male thugs wished that they could rush into the room. The sharp-faced thug grumbled unhappily, "Sigh. I wonder when Boss will be done with her. How long is he going to let us wait? He'd better not overwork that little b*tch. We haven't had our fun yet." Another thug chuckled pervertedly. "What's the rush? It'll be our turn sooner or later, and the later it is, the better. That woman might still be trying to resist. After Boss is done with her, she might be a lot more submissive. That'll give us an easier time, won't it?" He could not help but rub his chin. Bianca's slender and curvaceous body and her tender face made his passions flare. He had lost count of the women he had slept with, but it was rare for him to encounter a woman that was both beautiful and noble. When the sharp-faced thug heard that, he hurriedly asked, "When it's our turn, should we do it one by one, or should
“You don’t need to remind me. I was going to check anyway.” Abel shot Luca a chilling look.She took a step back and stayed silent.Abel turned to the pale-faced Hera and said, “If you’ve got low blood sugar, get up and eat something.”“I’ll eat now,” Hera replied, sitting up.Luca handed her the takeout.Abel glanced at the food and then frowned at Luca. “Why didn’t you make breakfast this morning?”“I was busy,” Luca explained with a calm indifference, her expression unwavering. She showed no fear, even under Abel’s questioning.Hera suddenly found herself admiring Luca. Everyone feared this man, yet Luca remained composed even when facing potential punishment. Not just anyone could pull that off.At the thought of this, Hera opened the takeout and kept quiet.Abel narrowed his eyes, glancing between Hera and Luca. His gaze was not exactly gentle as he muttered, “Stop eating this junk. It’s bad for you.”“I know, babe. Just this once. After this, I’ll have what Luca cooks f
Hera panicked the moment she heard that. “I trust her!”Luca and Shanks were both watching her.Hera repeated herself, saying, “I trust her, okay? What kind of treatment does she need? I’ll cooperate with anything. But what about Abel…”“I’ll tell him it’s just to help improve your overall health,” replied Shanks. Then, he turned around, opened the medicine cabinet, and started preparing the prescription.Hera let out a sigh of relief. As long as Abel did not find out about her health condition, that was all that mattered.If he knew she was unwell, he would send her back to A City. Without free medical help and no way to make extra money, she would be in serious trouble.“Thank you,” said Hera.“Wait outside,” instructed Shanks.“Okay.” Hera carefully stepped out.Luca, however, remained where she was, waiting.While preparing the medicine, Shanks asked, “Do you know which acupoints to target for her?”“Yes,” Luca replied confidently. As long as she checked Hera’s pulse, sh
“There are a lot of issues.” Luca did not hide anything and handed Hera the phone.Hera looked at it and frowned.“I can't understand any of this.” Hera felt dizzy just looking at the text, let alone the long list of medical terms. It was giving her a headache.“Look at these summaries and indicators. Compare the values on top with the normal values at the bottom, and you'll see what I mean,” explained Luca.Hera did not trust her. Therefore, Luca decided to let her see for herself. Seeing it with her own eyes would prevent any doubts later.Luca pointed out how to read the test results, and after a moment, Hera managed to understand the report. Her face turned pale. “How can there be so many problems?”She looked at Luca and questioned, “Did you fake this?”“I don’t have the power to make the medical center fake anything. Besides, the report has the medical center’s official stamp. If you don’t believe me, you can go directly to the medical center and ask for the official cop
“I heard from the boss that he's coming because of Vivian.” Gale paused for a moment before adding, “But never mind, you don't seem interested in her affairs anyway. I'm just letting you know he's on his way.”Gordan frowned. Ray was coming for Vivian?What could that ugly woman possibly need?“What do you mean by that?” asked Gordan.Gale smirked. “If you and Ray meet, that’s bound to end in a fight. And since you can't win against him, you might want to mentally prepare yourself, or better yet, find somewhere else to stay. It’d be safer that way.”Gordan's expression darkened. “If you have nothing nice to say, just zip it.”Gale grinned, clearly pleased with himself like he had just hit a sore spot.Gordan exhaled sharply. “Of all times, why is he coming to A City now? He’s just making things worse.”“It can't be helped. Vivian's situation is urgent.” Gale covered his mouth mockingly after he said that. “Oh, right. I forgot you don’t like hearing about her.”Ray wanted to br
Luke sat in the villa, staring at Luca’s message.He was worried.For a moment, he considered calling her, but then he remembered that there were surveillance cameras everywhere on her side. He dismissed the idea immediately.Her safety came first.Luke reminded her: [Take care of yourself. Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything. Just focus on keeping yourself safe.] The worry in his heart refused to subside, but at this moment, there was no better solution.“Boss, you’re worried about your wife, huh? If you really can’t stand it, we can sneak you in again during the next shift change, just like last time,” said Gale.It had been his idea last time.Now, the real Lucius was still locked up in the basement of the villa.It had been nearly a month. Luke had forced him to take the antidote Luca had recreated. The man was still alive, proving the antidote worked perfectly.“That plan is too risky.” Luke put his phone away. His gaze was dark and thoughtful.“Risky, sure. But at lea
Luca had not expected Abel and Shanks’ relationship to be like this.It seemed Abel still did not trust Shanks.Shanks continued, “Abel isn’t someone who trusts people easily. He doesn’t trust anyone. You think he’s devoted to Kassy now, right? That’s just his obsession. He's allowing Kassy to receive my treatment, but if it were him… No matter if he were blind or crippled, his safety would always come first. If he were seriously injured, maybe he’d accept treatment, but he definitely wouldn’t do it right away.”Luca stayed silent. Shanks really understood Abel well.Abel did not trust anyone—not even Kassy.Calling him paranoid would not be an exaggeration.Luca felt like they were getting off-topic, but she had never seen this side of Shanks before.In her mind, he was always buried in his work at the lab, only leaving for meals and sleep. Other than that, he was practically never outside.The lab was like his home…“Are you troubled by Hera’s situation?” Luca asked directly
Hera was startled by Luca's words.The refusal that had been on the tip of her tongue suddenly got stuck in her throat.“I…” Hera hesitated, feeling conflicted. Leaving Abel might not be such a bad idea. At least she would not have to live in constant fear.She was finally realizing how unpredictable his moods were. At first, she thought it did not matter as she could still look at other men. She just had to ensure there was no physical contact. In reality, even if she so much as glanced at someone, Abel's expression would darken with anger.It was frustrating. Now, the only person she was allowed to look at was Gerald. Still, what was the point of just looking at Gerald?At that thought, she lifted her gaze to Luca.Luca added, “I’ll give you five minutes. If you refuse treatment after that, I’ll take the medicine back to Mr. Shanks and won’t try to convince you again.”Hera's heart tightened. She did not even need five minutes. She had made her decision within 30 seconds.“I’
“If Abel finds out that Hera's body isn't suitable for organ donation to Kassy, what do you think he'll do?” asked Shanks.He already knew the answer, but he still wanted to hear Luca’s thoughts.“He has invested a lot of time and money in Hera. If he gets nothing out of it, he won’t let her off easily,” Luca said bluntly.Luca and Shanks were on the same page.They did not have a good relationship with Hera, but they had no intention of ruining her either.Hera’s personality was unpleasant, but that was not enough for them to hate her so much that they wanted to see her suffer.“What methods do you think he’ll use?” Shanks asked again.Luca was silent for a long moment.Shanks already knew the answer, yet he still wanted her to say it out loud.After thinking it over, she finally said, “There are plenty of ways he could go about it, but no matter what he chooses, Hera’s fate is sealed. She’s as good as dead…”She lowered her gaze, her tone firm and certain.Shanks nodded.
Hera heard that Luca had returned and immediately went to find Shanks. She narrowed her eyes.That woman went to see Shanks. Could she be talking about her?The thought made Hera uneasy. She had a nagging feeling that something was wrong with her medical report.However, when they left the medical center earlier, Abel asked Luca when the report would be ready, and she said it would be available tomorrow.Hera turned to Gerald and said, “Take these back for me first.”“Alright.” Gerald carried the bags as he walked away. He could not help but wonder what exactly Hera bought. These bags were really heavy!Only after Gerald went upstairs did Hera slowly make her way up as well. Her room was on the third floor, but she stopped when she reached the second floor. She glanced around to make sure no one was watching before heading toward the laboratory.The door was closed.Instead of knocking, Hera pressed her ear against it, trying to eavesdrop.However, the laboratory was special
