All Chapters of A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Stepping out of his pickup, wearing a white shirt and black pants, no belt, and black shoes without socks, Axe shoved his hands into his pocket, staring up at the skyscraper, that raised at 2,073 ft. He sighed and walked over, entering the building of SpiritsHaven, once he walked into the lobby, he was heading for the elevator as two beautiful girls stood by, watching him. Seeing how Hannah was staring at him, Natalie chuckled and said, "Hey, you have been rubbernecking at him since you started working here. Why don't you talk to him?" "I am not looking at him," Hannah whispered, her eyes glued on Axe. "You liar. Yes, you are." "No... I am..." Silence settled between them, and then Natalie said, "Why don't you go and ask him out? The worst he can say is 'No." "It's not like that," Hannah whispered. When Natalie raised a brow, she sighed and then said, "Fine. I will go talk to him." Tightening her fist, she marched over to Axe, and just then, he was about to walk into the eleva

The stare-off between Axe and Kaine seemed to stretch on, their eyes locked on each other. The air crackled with tension, the stillness broken only by the sound of heavy breaths escaping their lips. And then, in the blink of an eye, Kaine's face contorted with a mixture of desperation and rage.Summoning the last ounce of strength within him, Kaine's hand darted to the back of his pants, fingers closing around the cold handle of a gleaming knife. With a guttural growl, he lunged towards Axe, his movements fueled by a surge of adrenaline.Time seemed to slow down once again as the knife gleamed in the pale moonlight, and Axe's senses heightened, his mind processing every detail in rapid succession. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, each beat thundering through his veins, as his body prepared to face this new threat.Reacting with a lightning-fast reflex, Axe instinctively twisted his body to the side, narrowly evading Kaine's lethal strike. The knife sliced through the air

Staring hard at his phone screen, Axe's fingers trembled slightly as he pressed the answer button on his phone, bringing it up to his ear. The voice on the other side was low, filled with a sense of urgency that instantly caught his attention."Hello, Axe. I trust you're well?" The voice on the other end of the line was deep and carried an air of authority.As he stepped away from the father and son, Axe's grip on the phone tightened as he replied, "Yes, Master. What's the matter?""I have a task for you. Something that requires your immediate attention," Don Vincenzo's voice commanded attention, and Axe's brow furrowed in curiosity."Of course, Master. What do you need?" Axe asked, his eyes narrowing slightly."I cannot discuss it over the phone. Meet me at the Vincenzo Mansion. There's something I need to tell you in person," Don Vincenzo's tone was cryptic, leaving Axe with a sense of unease."Understood, Master. I'll be there soon," Axe replied, a sense of urgency creeping into hi

The next morning, the sound of footsteps echoed through the living room, disrupting Axe's peaceful slumber. Slowly opening his eyes, he found Leia standing in front of him, her small feet clad in pink fluffy socks. A tray filled with toast, jam, and fresh fruit juice rested in her hands. "Good morning," she said as brightly as could be expected for seven o’clock in the morning. Her smile was radiant as she approached him. "A thank you gift," she said, placing the tray on the coffee table.With a yawn, he sat up and took hold of the plate, pulling it toward him. He took a bite of the bread before reaching to grab some jam and arched an eyebrow in curiosity. "For what?""Hmm... For letting me stay the night and not making a fuss about it." Leia plopped down beside him, leaning over to steal half of his toast. She then took several bites of it. She then proceeded to take another bite and give him the thumbs up. "Which means we're good, right?"Leia looked at him expectantly. The ques

Shutting his eyes for a second, Axe tried to control his breathing, taking deep breaths through his nose, before nodding slowly. He opened his eyes, looking straight ahead. “Yeah. Yeah. Right.” His grip on her waist tightened slightly as he led her away, his eyes focused firmly on the floor. The two security guards looked close behind them, and then one replied, “We should call the boss.”The second guard, who also had a long ponytail, nodded. “Yeah, good idea.” He fumbled in his pocket, bringing out a comlink, which he pressed to his ear. A few seconds later, he spoke. “Boss... she's here.”The silence between Leia and Axe lasted for several seconds before Leia cleared her throat nervously. “Uh, Axe? Are you ok? You look kinda pale. Maybe we should have just gone somewhere else. We can go back if you want—”“So... The Steele... That's new... Not shocking though... They are right up your parents alley... Rich, powerful. What a family, huh?” Axe mumbled distractedly, seeming to be l
