Semua Bab An Understated Dominance: Bab 51 - Bab 60

In a lounge at the Emerald building, Natasha greeted Dustin. “Mr. Rhys, you’re not hurt, are you?” Her eyes scanned him over in worry.“I’m fine.” Dustin shook his head and continued, “I’ve dealt with the twins. What do you plan on doing next?”“Those two were some of Edwin’s most useful men. I think he will be very alarmed now that they are dead. We should take things slow lest we scare them away,” Natasha said. She did not want to burn the bridge between her and Edwin. She just wanted to teach him a lesson so he would back down. This was the best option.“Alright. It’s up to you.” Dustin didn’t say more.“Oh, yes, you should take cover for the time being. I received news that Trevor’s brother, Travis, is back, and he’s hunting for the murderer.” Natasha’s tone and expression turned grave. She would not pick battles with the military. Travis was a general in the warzone. Even she had to think twice before getting on the wrong side of him.“Thanks for the advice. I know what to do

Chris was completely dumbfounded to be pointed out by Edward. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected Edward to do so. He didn’t do anything, but somehow he got involved.“Tell me honestly, did you have anything to do with my dad’s death?” Edward glared and shouted.“No! It had nothing to do with me! I don’t know anything!” Chris shook his head in fear, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.“You don’t know, or you don’t want to tell?” Edward narrowed his eyes menacingly.“Mr. Spanner, I really have no idea! This is all a misunderstanding!” Chris started to plead, every inch of his body was begging for mercy. Although he knew Edward was taking the opportunity to settle their personal grudge, he couldn’t say a word.“Huh! It seems like you won’t spill without some pressure. Come, beat him up!” Edward ordered, and two officers immediately took action.“Wait!” James suddenly stopped them. “Do you know who he is? He’s Chris Nolan of Nolan Pharmaceuticals! He’s also very close wit

After being subjected to the torture, Dahlia finally passed out.Her back was bloody and horrific to look at. The fresh wounds were still bleeding profusely, her body still twitching uncontrollably even while she was passed out.“General, she has lost consciousness!” one of his men reported.“Wake her up and keep going,” Travis spat coldly.“Uncle Travis, can I have a go?” Edward interjected eagerly. Ever since he was crippled, there had been a tremendous shift in his psychology. The more beautiful a woman was, the more he wanted to destroy her.“If you want to, go ahead.” Travis nodded in approval.“Thank you, Uncle Travis!” Edward grinned eerily.Once Dahlia awakened, he wielded the whip in his hand and struck her.“Tell me!”“Just kill me!” Dahlia could no longer endure the pain. Her mind was at the end of its rope. Now, she could only hope they would put an end to her misery. “Kill you? Not so fast! I haven’t even had enough!” Edward smiled sadistically and continued wit

Who was Logan Rhys exactly? The hurricane that had stirred up the city of Stonia! The demon that had disturbed the peace of the people!He was also the one behind the tragedy in Osnal ten years ago.No one had ever expected that a 15-year-old could cause so much destruction.Thus, it was no wonder Travis was horrified to see him. Who would’ve guessed that the man who was standing in front of them was the stuff of legends who had disappeared from the face of the planet ten years ago, THE Logan Rhys!The adjutant’s legs instantly gave out, causing him to crumple to the ground with a thud. His mind was drawing a complete blank at the moment.After Dustin gave Travis, who was behind him, a glance, he started walking toward Edward."Help me, Uncle Travis! Uncle Travis!" Cradling his broken leg, Edward kept screaming his head off as he wriggled on the floor like a maggot, trying his hardest to evade Dustin."I told you, I’ll make sure you won’t even have a corpse left after I kill you

Two days later, at the Peaceful Medical Center, Dahlia finally woke up.The first thing she noticed was that she was in a very plain room that contained a table, two chairs, and a hospital bed.She thought everything looked vaguely familiar, as if she had been here before."You're up?" Dustin quipped as he appeared at the entrance of the room.He was carrying a bowl of chicken soup in one hand. Even though it wasn’t the most flavorful dish, the soup looked tantalizing to her as she hadn’t eaten anything for the past two days. So much so that her stomach began to growl non-stop at the sight of it."Were you the one who saved me?" she asked first to break the awkward tension between them."You were injured and unconscious on the roadside, so I patched you up," he answered plainly."You patched me up?" she repeated with furrowed brows. A split second later, she hastily asked, "Oh, right! How long have I been unconscious? What’s the situation with the Spanners now? Are my parents in
