Chapter 6

作者: The Awakened
Myra's eyes widened, and cold sweat soaked through her shirt.

The woman standing before her was Dakota Johnson, a family powerhouse that stood on equal footing with the Clarks.

The Johnson Group ran legitimate businesses on the surface, but anyone in the underworld knew their true power lay in the shadows. Their methods were notoriously ruthless and decisive, never leaving room for compromise.

For years, the Clarks had done everything possible to avoid a direct conflict with them, maintainin

  • Background to Main Lead   Chapter 11

    The living room went silent for three whole seconds before Dad suddenly scooped me up, throwing me over his shoulder and spinning around the room."My son got the top SAT score in the state!"Mom stood in place, her eyes reddening, though she scoffed in disdain. "What are you getting so worked up for? Put him down, put him down! Don't drop him!"Then she turned and dialed a number. "Hey, look up the home addresses for the second and third place scorers in the state this year. I want to send some gifts to their families to express my gratitude… and thank them for coming in second place to my son! Haha!"Dad stared at the phone screen, checking the score page again and again. "My life is complete! God must be smiling down on us! A state scholar in the family, I'm going to brag about this for the rest of my life!"Mom patted my shoulder with relief. "Back when I was in the organization, my academic scores were always in the single digits. The instructor said I couldn't do anything ex

    Brock took a sudden step back, a distant expression washing over his face. He glanced at the four pale heiresses, immediately averted his eyes, and raised his voice slightly. "I've never liked any of them! They were the ones forcing themselves to do these things for me. I never asked them to hurt anyone!"Elena jerked her head up, staring at him in utter disbelief. "But... you clearly said you liked each of us before, and you went along with everything we did...""Did I ever say that?" Brock cut her off, putting on an innocent expression. "You must have remembered wrong. I never said a thing. Besides, how could you do something like hurting a classmate? That's terrible."He turned to my parents, his tone sounding deeply sincere. "Sir, Ma'am, they're the ones who did this! I had nothing to do with it. I'm just a scholarship kid trying to get through school."He carefully glanced at the gun in Mom's hand, his throat bobbing slightly. "Um... can I leave now?"All four faces shifted

    Seeing me wake up, both Mom and Dad breathed a sigh of relief.Dad pulled me into his arms, his broad palm slapping my back, booming, "I knew you were fine! A true Simkin doesn't break that easily!"Mom rolled her eyes from the side, coldly calling him out. "Oh, please. Who was the one sobbing hysterically back home, practically ruining your dad's birthday party?"Dad grumbled under his breath, "Like you were any better. You almost fainted from panic the second you heard our boy was in trouble."I lifted my head to look around. Those ruthless underworld figures who were dripping with murderous intent just a moment ago were now all wearing warm expressions, smiling gently down at me.I cleared my raspy throat to thank them. "Sorry for troubling everyone."A chorus of voices immediately broke out."What are you talking about?!""Anyone who messes with you is messing with all of us!""Don't you worry, Aiden, we're definitely gonna get payback for you!"A surge of warmth flooded

    More and more people disembarked from the helicopters one after another.An elderly woman in a black suit walked down slowly with a cane, followed closely by four personal bodyguards.A middle-aged man with a cigar squeezed between his teeth narrowed his eyes and scanned the crowd, a faint smile lingering at the corners of his mouth.The underground fight club boss loosened his tie, the old scar stretching from his earlobe down to his collarbone looking especially stark in the daylight.As their hawk-like eyes swept over them, Elena and the others subconsciously took a half-step back, their expressions shifting rapidly in shock.What shocked them most was that this entire group immediately gathered around me."My poor nephew suffered today.""It's all our fault for not looking after him properly, letting random nobodies bully him."The four girls looked at each other in absolute despair. Wasn't one Johnson enough? How did this suddenly involve so many top figures across the und

    Myra yelled out in complete disbelief, "Dakota, did you get the wrong person? How could Aiden possibly be your nephew?"By this time, Dakota had already ordered her men to lift me out of the trunk. She stared coldly at Myra. "I just saw him and his parents not long ago. Do you think I'd get it wrong?"Myra's face instantly went pale as she stared at me in someone else's arms, unable to utter a single word.Panic set in as the realization washed over her that perhaps Aiden wasn't just some nobody. Deep regret filled her eyes.Only after confirming that I had no life-threatening injuries and was just unconscious did Dakota look up at Myra again. "Tell me. Why did you touch him?"Myra's expression wavered. Her lips pressed tightly together, refusing to speak.Dakota didn't ask a second time. She suddenly ordered her men to grab one of Myra's henchmen and pressed a gun right against his temple. He dropped to his knees, trembling violently."You tell me for her." Dakota's voice was f

    Myra's eyes widened, and cold sweat soaked through her shirt.The woman standing before her was Dakota Johnson, a family powerhouse that stood on equal footing with the Clarks.The Johnson Group ran legitimate businesses on the surface, but anyone in the underworld knew their true power lay in the shadows. Their methods were notoriously ruthless and decisive, never leaving room for compromise. For years, the Clarks had done everything possible to avoid a direct conflict with them, maintaining a fragile facade of mutual non-interference. Myra had never imagined that Dakota would show up here in person.Taking a deep breath, she forced down her shock and fear, squeezing out a respectful smile."Dakota! This has to be a misunderstanding. For you to come out here in person, it must be urgent. I happen to have some urgent business to attend to as well."As she spoke, she quietly took a half-step back, planning to slip back into her car.However, the bodyguards behind Dakota didn't b
