It's been days since the chaos started to subside. The war between the Rui Lin Mafia and the Vile Mafia has come to an end, and the government is helping those who are in need. Those who lost their home are free to enter the new community that was built by the president near the boundary. Those who had lost their ability to work would be given work that they could do, and their rate would be the same as the normal one. Those children who became orphans were given a free education. Those who had lost their loved ones were given compensation. These are all done by Hideous and the President. Because of this, their name was picked up everywhere. Meanwhile, in the underworld, everyone finally knew why the Information Center disappeared. It was because if they continue to stay active at that time, the Vile Mafia will do something against everyone. Since they are neutral, even if they don't want to, if the Vile Mafia gave them enough money to correspond to the information they needed, they
Hideous paced back and forth in his office, his usually calm demeanor replaced by an air of restlessness and anxiety. Papers lay forgotten on his desk as he anxiously awaited any news about Sherly's condition. His mind raced with worry, his thoughts consumed by fear for his daughter's safety.Just then, his phone rang, and Hideous's heart skipped a beat as he answered it hastily. "Hello?""Uncle, it's George," came the voice on the other end of the line, his tone filled with relief. With George's tone of voice, it would be a good one. "I have good news. Sherly is finally out of danger."A wave of overwhelming relief washed over Hideous, his tense shoulders sagging with the weight of the news. As if all his strength went away from his knee, he sat down on his seat. "Thank goodness," he breathed, his voice trembling with emotion. "Thank you for letting me know, George."As Hideous's anxiety began to go away, he finally allowed himself a moment of respite, sinking into his chair with a h
In the dimly lit interrogation room of the police station, Hideous confronted Lilia, his heart heavy with a mix of anger and confusion. This woman tried to kill his one and only daughter. If his daughters aren't strong, doesn't that mean he'll lose one of his children? This woman tried to kill his daughter. Hideous stared at Lilia. He needed answers and closure for the unthinkable act she had committed against their own flesh and blood."Lilia, why?" Hideous's voice cut through the silence, his tone firm and resolute.If it weren't for the glass in between them, Hideous might have used his torturing method on this woman. However, because of this glass, he couldn't even put his hands on her neck to straggle her.Lilia sat before him, her gaze vacant, as if lost in the depths of her own despair. She murmured softly, almost to herself, "Sherly, she's the root of all the evil."Hideous frowned in confusion as he clenched his fists in frustration, struggling to understand the depth of Lili
It's just been an hour, and Sherly couldn't feel at ease. It was like she felt restless lying here, doing nothing. She wanted to do something, but she couldn't as George was watching her. His eyes feel like hawks. As Sherly stirred in her hospital bed, George's eyes widened in panic. He could see the determination in her gaze, but he also saw the strain it put on her healing wounds. With a sense of urgency, he reached out to gently restrain her, his voice tinged with concern.When Sherly turned her head, she didn't know whether she would cry or laugh. George's face is really something.On the other hand, George's eyes looked like he wanted to cry. "Sherly, please don't move," George urged, his tone urgent. Worries are visible in his voice and eyes. Well, it is normal since she is his lover. "Your stitches are still fresh. You just got out of the operation; please do be careful. You need to rest and let your body heal."Sherly paused and did not respond. However, she's startled by the
As Sherly drifted off into a peaceful slumber, George sat quietly by her side, his mind buzzing with a mixture of emotions. He could just kill his time watching her, but he knows that she won't be able to sleep peacefully if he does that. Thus, with nothing but the soft glow of the TV illuminating the room, he turned on the news, seeking a distraction from the weight of the day's events.He already has an idea of what's happening inside the government right now since the person they planted there reported to them already, but who knows what kind of things these little reporters are going to tell the public? With the public's anger poured into Joseph because he is the mastermind of the war between the two mafias that caused a lot of people to lose their homes and family members, this kind of news was anticipated.As the news anchor reported on Joseph's interrogation, George's attention was immediately captured. All the news was now about Joseph and his wrongdoing. With this, the things
As Lary delivered the distressing news, Sherly's heart sank, and her worst fears were realized in an instant. How could she let her guard down? This man may be less ruthless and cunning than the people inside the underworld, but he is still cunning. Now that this has happened, all she can do is let that man be punished. Whether it is severe or not, it doesn't matter. She won't let this matter go."Oh no, Keisley," she whispered, her voice trembling with shock and fear.Sherly could tell a lot of changes in her. When she only has her best friend and her family in her life, she's not this emotional. However, right now, it is different. She had her own family to be called hers. Thus, her emotions are a little bit on edge.George's jaw clenched with anger as he processed the extent of the attack. He immediately noticed Sherly's reaction and calmed himself down. He doesn't want to let Sherly be like this. "How could this happen?" he demanded, his voice laced with frustration. He thought t
Sherly could hear the papers flipping in the background and the scratching sound of the pen and paper, and she knew that her father was still in his office. She took a deep breath and calmed herself. "Dad, are you busy?"The scratching sound of pen and paper stopped, and she heard her father answer, "I am busy, but if you ask for time, I have a lot to spare. So, what is it? Do you have a problem?"Sherly bit her lower lip first. "Dad, you need to come to the hospital right now. Someone attacked Keisley," she said, her voice thick with emotion."Wait, what? Keisley is in the hospital, and someone attacked him?" Sherly nodded her head even though her father couldn't see her. "Yes, Dad. I am not in front of the operating room. Keisley was stabbed in the hotel after his meeting with his client." "What the fuck!" Sherly shivered as she heard her father curse. This is the first time she has heard him say those words. It was as if it came out of his lips without noticing it. "I'll be there
When Sherly finished the call, six people approached her, their heads bowed in a sign of respect as they acknowledged her presence. She recognized them immediately as George's people, their loyalty evident in their unwavering support.How did she know? Of course, it's not because she investigated the people around George but because of their respect. They respect their boss; thus, they must respect his lover as well.Before they could approach her, the red light above the operating room door turned green, signaling that the operation had just finished. With a sense of urgency, she made her way to meet the doctor who operated on her brother, her heart racing with anticipation and fear for her brother's well-being.Inside the room, the doctor greeted Sherly with a nod of acknowledgment. "Where's the family of the patient?" he inquired, his tone professional yet compassionate.Sherly stepped forward, her voice steady despite the mess in the side of her head because of the emotions swirli
