Chapter 27 Not Long to Live

Penulis: Night Eleven
Landon felt as though something inside his body was struggling to break free, threatening to destroy everything in its wake. A heated feeling was building up inside of him.

He subconsciously swallowed. The motion added an air of sexiness to him as he stood under the light. It was a rare sight.

Everyone in Janovin knew that Landon lived an ascetic life. He was even a vegetarian. No one had ever been able to make him lose his air of refinement and aloofness. But now, his shirt was half-open, and his hair was ruffled.

Frank was terrified, thinking that Aria had truly offended Landon this time.

He had worked with Warren for many years now. The Carvers and the Yorks were well-acquainted, and Landon made frequent trips to Carver Group in order to cancel the marriage agreement between the two families.

Thus, Frank had met Landon many times before, and he had never seen Landon eyeing someone with such a dangerous look in his eyes.

Most of the time, Landon's gaze was calm and unruffled. H

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2053 Interrogation

    Wesson asked in a deep voice, "What are you trying to do?"Aria answered casually, "Isn't it obvious? I have control of your terminal. I reverse-hacked into NIO's non-core display systems through your internal network."It's not just the screen you're looking at. Several dozen shared screens across the NIO building are showing the same thing. You can't turn it off unless you kill the main network."Aria paused for a moment. "But what will your superiors do to you if you do that?" she added.Wesson was rooted to the spot, drained of energy. He watched the flag with the dragon emblem ripple across the screen while the Farshyan anthem pounded in his ears.Humiliation and fury overwhelmed him, unlike anything he'd felt before. Aria was crushing his pride and authority."Y-You're out of your mind," he stammered. "You've just declared war on Athara.""War?" Aria curled her lips. "Mr. Laker, do you think the Atharan government will see it that way? All they'll conclude is that you came

    Wesson grinned, pulling an envelope from the drawer and tossing it onto the desk. Aria didn't move, but Sam leaned forward and opened it. The envelope was stuffed with photos. One showed Georgina smiling brightly as she chatted with neighbors in Clearwater Alley. Others showed Warren, Titus, and even Aria's brothers.Sam clenched his fists and shot Wesson an icy stare. Aria sensed him and hurried over. "It's fine. I'm here."Landon's gaze was even colder. No one had ever dared threaten him with Titus."Wesson," Landon said coolly, "if we were alone here, or if you weren't NIO's chief, you would have been dead in a second."Wesson leaned back in his chair and spoke in an unhurried voice. "Ms. Carver, Mr. York, I'm only trying to make you accept the truth. Threatening me won't change anything. I'd rather you do something now and die with me."Aria's expression tightened; an iciness flickered across her face. "I believe you wouldn't want them to have accidents. They could be hit

    Afternoon sunlight poured through the windows of Los Stratos Airport, throwing jagged shadows across the floor. Aria watched ground crews shuttle across the runway, chin propped on her hand, thinking how Athara felt harsher than Solandria or Mecira—an invisible prejudice that seemed to hang over the whole place.Since the Mecira case closed, they had to come up with a new plan in this strange country. Beside her, Landon rested his eyes. They had plenty of space in first class; luxury did little to ease the fatigue Aria carried. She had been on the move for days, but this was no time to let her guard down.Athara was a unique country, and the NIO wouldn't be that easy to deal with.In Athara, NIO functioned like a Special Missions Unit, with visible branches—intelligence, covert ops, tech, strategic support—and secret divisions only known to the political elite. The speaker announced their arrival, prompting passengers to retrieve their bags and form a queue.However, Aria and

    Aria's gaze went cold. "No, you're just an idiot."Before coming to the club, she had planned her makeup and disguise down to the last detail. Ron had no reason to recognize her as the woman from Draycott Auctions. Yet he had somehow sensed something was off. "Let us move to a private room. People might be watching and listening," he said.Aria nodded. "Sure."They walked into the private room one after another. Suddenly, Ron spun around and pointed a gun at her. "You don't work for Mr. Laker. Your story is full of holes.""Are you questioning Mr. Laker?" Aria's voice turned frigid. "Just for that, you've signed your own death warrant."Ron's gaze hardened immediately. "You claim to work for Mr. Laker. How are you going to prove it?"Aria did not answer. She crossed to the table, sat down without hesitation, and crossed her legs. With a casual flick, she tossed a switchblade onto the table, where it landed with a sharp snap. She lifted her eyes and snarled. "Ron, Mr. Lake

    Soon, more than ten masked armed men approached the villa where Aria and the others were. The man leading them was the same one who had snuck in earlier. "How did you know we were coming?"Confusion spread among the men. It was as if their mission had been leaked. At the same time, they grew tense—what if this was a setup?"You followed me all the way here," Aria said coldly, fiddling with a switchblade. "Of course I know where you are and what you're doing. Why isn't Fernanski with you? I suppose that figures. He's heartless enough to send you straight to your deaths.""What do you mean?" The leader frowned, scanning his surroundings warily, half-expecting an ambush. Nothing happened, so he turned back. "We don't want trouble. Hand over the bronze cauldron, and we'll let you live."Aria studied him. "It's you. I think I recognize you. Sure, you've got a mask on, but I remember. You're the security guard from the auction house, aren't you?"The man—Manuel Jennings—stiffened, his

    The man had wrapped himself so thoroughly that only his eyes showed. An SUV pulled up beside him; he stepped in and the vehicle left Draycott Auctions.Aria rose from her chair, ready to give chase, but Landon stopped her."We can't go after him," he said. "We don't have a car. Remember, we came in Wynric's.""We blew it at the worst possible time. If I'd known this would happen, I'd have arranged a new car." Flat out of options, Aria sank back down.Aria added, "I don't think that was Fernanski. I memorised some of his features.""From where I sat, I got a good look at the license plate. It was 178." Landon stirred his coffee. "Get someone to dig into it."Aria jotted the number and sent it to Madden. The reply came quickly."This license plate belongs to the Atharan embassy's vehicles."Aria frowned. "Atharan embassy…" she muttered. "So the man might work for them."Landon looked up. "If the Atharan embassy is sending people here, this is messier than we thought. We suspecte
