All Chapters of Lord of the City: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

[Where are you, Logan? You've gone off the grid for ten days now. Can you call me back if you see this?][I'm at my limit here. Your debt is too much for me—just come back and take me away with you if you have to.]At the northern frontier, Logan Bell was lying on a bed in a lonely shack, his heart aching as he read through the many texts sent to his phone until the present day.He was covered in bandages stretching from his left shoulder to his abdomen, and the other wounds covering his body left him looking like a rag doll that was sewn together.He had just left the battlefield three days ago, and that was when his subordinates gathered his personal effects and found this phone which was broken over four years ago. He had to gather several technicians to restore the phone and the texts, along with the SIM card.There were over six hundred texts and more than one thousand missed calls spanning those four years—and every last one of it was from his wife.Various expressions alte

It was only when Luna felt Logan's sturdy chest against her own frail body that she realized this was not a dream.She had waited four years for this embrace.Even if she could stop herself earlier despite Hal's humiliation, her tear ducts were like a broken dam at this very moment.In the four years that Logan had been away, she was worried sick for him just as long, while being subject to all kinds of mockery and insults.Even as she helped her husband clear his debts, she had to face the pressure from her own family, all because he had told her that he would be back.As for Logan, he closed his eyes as he inhaled deeply the sweet scent of her hair, unable to help feeling a little distracted.Still, he soon said, "It's been four long years, but no one will mistreat you again with me here!"He was certainly aware that she had suffered considerably at that time, and he would get even for her sake! Nonetheless, someone snapped from the door just then, "Let go of my daughter, yo

Various expressions alternated over Arnold's face.Despite knowing that his father would be furious, he still did not expect to be denied a place at the main table as the second son!Still, as Arnold made a mental note of yet another grievance against Logan, the man in question suddenly sat down at the main table."Who allowed you to sit here?!" Stan was immediately on his feet and snapping angrily, "That's my son's chair!""Why can't I sit here? It's empty."Logan shrugged and turned toward Arnold and Sue. "Come on, Pops—join me. They said it's a birthday party, so shouldn't we be more casual about this?"Everyone was left staring at Arnold's family, audibly talking about them, while Arnold and Sue would very much like to bury their heads in the sand.Logan really did not know a thing, and they were probably doomed!"My father is telling you to leave, Logan!" Arnold snapped even as he flushed.The brat was going against his father's will as soon as he showed up—he clearly was

Everyone was left gaping.Frank, the butler of the Bell family, had personally come to receive Logan?!On top of that, he was clearly acknowledging Logan as part of the family!Even Zac, who was ridiculing Logan, was stunned and speechless.The Bells' family businesses extended across all of Southdam, and they were a member of the state commerce guild.Even so, they were keen to take Logan back?!"Oh, shit! Every last one of the Watsons has just insulted Logan! Wouldn't he destroy them if he returns to their fold?""Who could have known?! I mean, the Bells struck Logan's name off their annals themselves, but they're now sending a reception just to take him back?"As everyone voiced their concerns audibly, the Watsons were left scowling.Luna was staring at her own husband in curiosity too—why would the Bells send for Logan?However, she also knew that her husband would definitely refuse them.After all, Logan had asked the Bells for help in his desperation years ago, and not

In just ten minutes, the trio left Sobel Group in embarrassment, but not before Gavin handed Zac a new contract.And this time, he emphasized that the contract would only be valid with Luna's signature! Naturally, they were all confused as they stepped out of the building, with Stan asking Zac, "What the hell happened? Wasn't the contract your birthday present? Why would Gavin demand Luna's signature? When does a child like her get to decide anything in the family?!""I don't know. He never explained a thing," Zac replied gingerly."Wait, could Logan have gotten this contract as he said?" Stan suggested.Zac was wondering about that too—yesterday was really his birthday, and that contract should have been his. Instead, Gavin insisted that he wanted Luna's signature? Was it really possible that Logan had really asked Gavin? But Gavin never mentioned Logan's name!"Impossible!" Thomas promptly snapped confidently. "That brat is a loser through and through! Gavin had already cut
