Part 71

Hayle couldn’t believe there was such a beautiful village so close to them, not too far from their current bunker. She would be happy to live here.Jaxter nodded in agreement. As long as Hayle liked it, he would be ready to live anywhere."Can the vineyards and the horse farm also become ours?" Hayle asked, gazing far into the distance."Well, I haven’t discussed that with my acquaintance yet. But if you really want it, I’ll try to get it," Roberto explained.Jaxter looked at Hayle, who seemed mesmerized by the view before her. "Yes! Just make sure you can get it," the man said. He wanted his wife to have whatever she wanted here."Eh, there’s no need if they don’t want to sell it. It might be their livelihood," Hayle said. She just enjoyed seeing the grapevines. They would look beautiful when in season."I will definitely try to get them to sell it to us," Roberto assured."But not through coercion or violence. I don’t want that. They must give it willingly," Hayle said, glancing at

Part 72

"Lucas is really something, isn't he? He managed to get a director position so easily," a doctor was heard mumbling in the St. Joseph Hospital café."We knew from the start, right? Sooner or later, he was bound to get it," another doctor chimed in.Lucas, who had just finished his work and intended to enjoy his afternoon at the café, was taken aback by the conversation of his colleagues. They were separated only by bamboo plants arranged to create a partition for some of the seats in the café."But I still can't wrap my head around it. How could things go so smoothly for him? I’m sure there’s something going on here. Don’t you suspect anything? I think Lucas might be the one who killed Mr. Hudson and hurt his wife. What do you think?" Dr. Lean, who had seemed very envious of Lucas’s success from the start, tried to voice his thoughts. It sounded quite inciting.On the other hand, Lucas simply listened with a blank expression and sipped his coffee."Stop it, Lean. You have no proof of

“Does it still hurt?” Hayle asked, gently touching Jaxter's wound, which had turned reddish. The gunshot wound now looked much larger.“No. It’s just that my left hand still can’t grip strongly,” Jaxter replied, quickly covering his body with a shirt. He didn’t want his perceived deformity to be seen by his wife.“If that’s the case, we can postpone the horseback riding lesson,” Hayle said, looking at her husband, whom she had just finished examining. The wound had healed, but damaged nerves would not recover quickly or might even remain permanent.“It’s fine. I’m still able to teach you. Just like last night when I worked on you,” Jaxter said, giving his wife a faint smile. Of course, what had happened last night immediately crossed Hayle’s mind. It wasn’t the first time, but she still blushed at the memory.“That has nothing to do with last night. I only did that to trap you,” Hayle said with a teasing smile. “Can you trap me again?”Hayle squinted and then promptly pinched her husb

"They're not here?" Cassius looked up. The banker's window was faintly visible with the rocks around it. But Cassius was certain this was the place."None, Sir. There’s no trace of them here at all," one of the guards reported immediately on what he found around the mountain."Give me the report from the nearest village." Cassius got into his car, but his eyes never left the bunker. He only shifted his gaze once he was inside the vehicle."Sir, what if Mr. Jaxter is no longer in the country? Or perhaps he has moved to another city?" One of Cassius’s subordinates glanced at him."Jaxter is someone who values his sovereignty and upholds agreements. He wouldn’t stray far from his domain. Besides, Jaxter is not the type to give up easily. Unless he’s been influenced by that woman, but that doesn’t seem likely," Cassius smirked. It wouldn’t be interesting if Jaxter suddenly decided to become a commoner. "All his power is here. I’m sure he won’t be far from here; search within a 20 km radiu

The night enveloped the streets in darkness. Without adequate lighting, a car sped along the asphalt flanked by trees. Lucas's eyes darted around wildly."Are we still far?" Lucas asked, squinting despite the digital map in his hand still glowing."Not much further. We just need to go around this hill, sir," the driver replied, glancing briefly at the man squinting at him before returning his attention to the surroundings. His mind wandered; he hadn't expected Hayle to live in such a place.Moments after this brief exchange, the car came to a sudden halt, causing Lucas to nearly collide with the seat in front of him."What’s going on?!" Lucas asked, clearly startled by the situation."That's it in front, sir!" the driver said, with a strange yet fearful expression.Lucas looked ahead and saw someone blocking their path. Three people were walking toward them with a challenging and confident demeanor. Lucas squinted again, and his eyes widened further as he recognized the man walking w

Jaxter has really hit rock bottom if he has to seek refuge in a place like this. Cassius looked out at the road, which was almost entirely dark. The cooling asphalt was only illuminated by the headlights of their two cars.No one responded to that statement because they knew Cassius was just muttering his thoughts out loud. An occasional cunning smile appeared on his lips. He would be able to complete his task as soon as possible.However, just as their car was speeding past a street lamp, suddenlyBoom! Boom!The sound of exploding tires made their car start moving erratically. Of course, this immediately startled the people in the car. The drivers of both cars struggled to regain control as their tires suddenly burst."What's happening?" asked one of Cassius's subordinates sitting in front."I don't know. Seems like a trap!" said the driver, making Cassius squint his eyes."A trap, you say?" replied the subordinate before his sentence was abruptly cut off when they heard a barrage o

"I've already instructed the guards to take him away," Jaxter said, watching Hayle, who was ready with everything needed to stop Cassius's bleeding.He tended to the wound temporarily because Jaxter wanted the man to stay alive. Two guards who were now his assistants helped. Hayle cleaned and stitched each of Cassius's wounds, which were now in a relatively stable condition."And then?" Hayle seemed to be warming the tip of the scalpel and pressing it against the part that was still bleeding, though lightly, as Cassius was unconscious. Anesthesia was no longer needed."Do you really not want to see him?" Jaxter stood a bit far from his wife, who didn’t even look at him. She appeared very focused on what she was doing.Hayle frowned and glanced at her husband, raising her eyebrows as she saw her wife’s bloodied gloves. "If I wanted to see him, would you allow it?"Jaxter shook his head slowly."Then there's no need to ask. I have other work to do. If you disturb me again, you'll be the

Part 78

"Roberto, review what we need to do about Logan." Jaxter looked at Roberto with a very serious expression after their breakfast. Hayle was checking on Cassius, who was still unconscious. He might still be affected by the pain and weakness from significant blood loss. It was still difficult for him to open his eyes.“Eh? Alright, Sir.” Roberto seemed a bit confused.Jaxter usually wasn't someone who revisited plans. He always went with what he thought would work, without fearing the consequences. But this time, Jaxter wanted a review. It felt very strange.“What do we need to review, Sir?” Roberto asked, increasingly puzzled.“What's the chance that I won’t make it?” Jaxter took a deep breath and looked at Roberto.“The chance that you won’t make it?” Roberto was even more confused. Jaxter was not one to be timid; in fact, he was inclined to take risks. He could undertake life-threatening challenges. So why suddenly did he want to know the likelihood of not surviving before doing somet

Part 79

"Who is it?" Logan asked with a face as flat as glass."Mr. Jaxter and a few of his people, sir," one of Logan's trusted subordinates immediately informed him.A unique smirk appeared on Logan's face, a sly grin spreading across it. "So, the kid who's been away has finally come back. Let him in!""But sir, I think he doesn’t just want to see you. He wants to challenge you."Logan’s expression shifted once again. A questioning look was evident before he leaned back casually, as if it didn’t bother him at all. "He wants to challenge the person who taught him to fight?""That seems to be the case, sir," Charles, Logan's assistant, nodded once more as the man began to laugh heartily, even clapping slowly as if mocking."It sounds quite bold but also amusing. Where is he?" Mr. Logan asked with a very confident demeanor."He might be arriving soon," Charles had just said that when the door to the main room of the Black Phoenix headquarters opened, revealing Jaxter and his followers behind h

"Hey! That's not allowed!" Shouted Laurence who knew this should only be a bare-handed fight."Damn it! I'll kill you!" Charles said again with a frenzy, immediately stabbing the knife at Jaxter who did his best to deflect it. Their movements looked fast like a martial arts demonstration. All of this made the people who even saw it unable to blink.Jaxter noticed that Charles was starting to decline in his attacking performance. He immediately seized the opportunity to grip Charles' hands tightly, elbowing Charles' face again, and quickly snatched the knife, then moved to lock Charles' head from behind. All of this happened so quickly that everyone was left bewildered as to how Jaxter managed it."Roberto!" a faint voice was heard. This made Roberto, who was very focused on his master's duel, look towards the sound. It was Cassius' weak voice. The man seemed to point in one direction with all his strength. Roberto quickly responded.Roberto's eyes widened as he saw Logan's movements,
