She had spent two days in the hospital. This was her first morning back.

Avery took her seat across from him. A six-meter walnut table stretched between them like a barricade. She took a sip of her black coffee, adding neither sugar nor cream. The bitter bite was exactly what she needed right now.

"How is your hand?" Dominic asked. His gaze settled on her left hand, which she had tucked beneath the tablecloth. Avery’s fingertips twitched, the jagged edge of her broken nail

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 228 The Bid in the Dark

    Midnight was approaching.Three decks below the Neptune's surface, the extravagant circular auction hall blazed with light. The air was thick with the scent of agarwood, expensive cigars, and the undercurrent of blood. Massive crystal chandeliers cast a dim, opulent golden glow over the space. The circular viewing galleries were packed to capacity. Those who stood here were titans and criminals from the global underground, arms dealers, illegal tech moguls, and black-market power brokers. The murmur of voices rose and fell like a living thing, punctuated by the clink of glasses and the rustle of expensive fabrics. The polished marble floor reflected the chandelier light in a thousand tiny points, like a field of distant stars.Dominic and Avery sat in the best VIP box on the second level.

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 227 The Undercurrent of the Neptune

    Under the cover of night, the open sea churned with towering waves. The black water stretched endlessly, like a beast with its jaws wide open, its surface broken only by the white caps of crashing swells. But in the heart of this dark and lawless expanse, a colossal structure blazed with light, extravagant beyond measure. Its decks were lined with gold and crystal, its hull a fortress of steel against the raging sea.The Neptune, the world's largest mobile underground trading platform.The sound of rotor blades cut through the air, growing louder as a black helicopter descended onto the top deck. The downdraft sent the sea spray scattering across the landing pad. The engines wound down to a low hum.The cabin door slid open. The sea wind whipped agai

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 226 I'm Going With You

    The gunpowder smoke on the overpass had been washed away by the rain. Obsidian City welcomed a rare, clear sky. The morning light fell across the buildings, clean and bright, as if the city itself had been reborn. The wet streets glistened under the pale sun, and the distant hum of the harbor carried a note of calm that had been absent for years.With the International Special Investigation Bureau and the Morris family's heavy blockade, the web of black-market interests that had entrenched itself in Obsidian City for years was uprooted. One by one, the old channels were shut down, the hidden accounts frozen, the shadow networks dismantled. North Port was orderly. Ships moved in and out on schedule. The old world's poison had been cleansed by absolute force.Inside the underground command center, the air was cold

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 225: The Final Gambit Before Dawn

    Six in the morning. The coastal overpass at Obsidian Port.The rain had not stopped. The sea wind whipped up towering waves that crashed violently against the cliffs below the overpass, sending plumes of white spray high into the air. Sirens and ambulance alarms tore through the rainy night, painting the sky with streaks of red and blue light. The emergency vehicles' flashing beacons reflected off the wet asphalt, casting long, distorted shadows across the bridge. Rainwater streamed down the concrete barriers in thin, relentless rivulets, pooling in the cracks and running toward the edges.Under international judicial procedure, after the interrogation at Kessler Estate, Victor had to be transferred to the International Special Investigation Bureau and Obsidian City's joint police escort. He was to be taken to a

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 224 The Breaking Visit

    Morning light pierced through the thin morning mist, slanting across the balcony of the hillside villa's master bedroom. The pale gold rays spilled across the wooden floor, catching the dust motes floating in the still air. Outside, the garden was lush and green, the leaves still glistening with droplets from the night before.The air was fresh with the scent of damp grass and earth, carrying the clean smell of rain-washed leaves and early-blooming flowers. The gunpowder and blood of yesterday's dock and interrogation room seemed to have been washed away entirely by the morning sun, leaving behind only the quiet peace of a new day.Dominic leaned back in a soft chair, his left shoulder wrapped in thick white bandages, the buttons of his shirt slightly undone, revealing the strong lines of his collarbone and the

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 223 Prisoner of the Abyss

    Kessler Estate, underground high-security interrogation room.The walls were cast from heavy blast-proof steel, their surfaces cold and unyielding. The air carried the sharp, metallic tang of reinforced alloy, mixed with the sterile bite of diluted nitric disinfectant that lingered at the back of the throat. The room was windowless, sealed, cut off from the outside world. A single overhead light cast a harsh, unforgiving glare across the space, leaving no shadows for anything to hide in.In the corner above, a silent surveillance camera tracked every movement, its small red indicator light blinking in steady, deliberate pulses.Victor was secured to a custom titanium interrogation chair, its restraints designed to hold even the strongest man. His wri

    The heavy wooden door clicked shut, leaving behind a faint, chilly draft from the corridor.Only after Drake had exited and the surrounding air collapsed back into a dead silence did Avery finally venture to poke her head out from beneath the heavy duvet. The flush on her cheeks hadn’t fully faded,

    Dorothea required two stitches on her forehead.Because she was so young, the local anesthetic had to be strictly limited. She trembled with pain throughout the procedure but never made a sound, her small hand simply crushing Avery's fingers in a desperate grip.Avery could feel every

    The study was thick with the scent of fir and ink. Dominic stood against the light from the floor to ceiling window. As Avery entered, he turned toward her."Adrian invited me to the North Port," he said."To discuss what?""Logistics quotas. His docks, my cargo." He paused. "He asked for a private

    5:45 AM. The sky was still dark, but Avery was already dressed.She wore a dark, slim-fit overcoat to blend into the twilight. She slipped the bronze key Wenger had given her and her burner phone into her pocket. Her heartbeat thundered against her eardrums.She cracked the bedroom door open with p
