All Chapters of Caught in the Mafia net : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“Sir! It’s such a pleasant surprise to see you!” Rey was instantly greeted by a very excited Aldred Winsley.The man was grinning sheepishly at him. He seemed almost starstruck, like a fan meeting their favorite celebrity for the first time.‘He’s literally gushing…’ was Rey’s impression as he nodded slightly, entering the room.‘I was just asking your subordinate here when we might see you next.’Rey glanced at Noah and noticed him giving an uncomfortable smile.‘Were they pressuring him to convince me to come? Is that why he took so long?’It was just a guess, so Rey dismissed it.“In any case, it really is good to have you here. We have a lot to discuss.”Taking a seat on the sofa, Rey observed as Noah quickly positioned himself behind him.‘Good. He knows how to keep appearances without me needing to tell him…’ Rey felt relieved.Noah seemed to be able to handle himself in business now, but sometimes he was still an indecisive klutz.Like now, when he allowed his time to be delay

Amber’s POV“So this is what love feels like?” I muttered to myself in excitement as I tried to control myself from skipping as I walked.For several years, I had been called the princess without a wolf. A disgrace. A curse. To them, I was nothing more than an empty vessel and a reminder of failure.But none of that mattered now. Because for the first time in my life, I had something to hold on to. Someone who saw me—not as weak, but as worthy. Luke. My mate. The one person who made me feel like I belonged.It had been two full moons since I discovered that Luke was my fated mate. Not only that, he was the only man who ever made me feel like I mattered.I smiled sheepishly as I remembered the intimate moments we shared during the past months. As I reached his manor, the guards allowed me in without a word. I was a regular face after all. The place was huge since his father was a wealthy elder in our pack.I headed straight for his room but came to a halt when I heard more than one voi

‘Interesting…’ As Rey proceeded to leave the underground space, he used his Absolute Appraisal two more times.Once on Alicia, and the other time on Billy.As a result, he was able to check out their Status Windows and gauge their abilities.‘They’re strong. Their Classes really help them out too…’However, despite their strength, their low Levels meant they were nowhere near his own power level. Rey knew he was much stronger.‘Alicia, as expected, is Lawful Good. But, I can’t figure out Billy’s alignment. How can he be Good?’Billy’s alignment displayed ‘Chaotic Good’, but Rey found the ‘Chaotic’ part irrelevant since he didn’t think the jerk was any good.‘Haaa… this idiot started this whole mess…’However, he was glad to know that it was all going to be over pretty soon.‘It’s almost evening already. A lot of time has passed since I started the day, but I’m happy it’s done.’His mind drifted to Adonis and his mission, wondering if it was a success.‘From what I overheard, they sh

“Sir Seller… are you sure this is the Item you desire? We have better items available, and I’m not sure this suits your… style.”As Aldred said this, Rey inspected the item once more, cradling it in his palm.The enchanted item in question was a ring. It had a pure white surface, with an amber crystal affixed at the top.The amber crystal reminded him of Alicia, leading him to recall a big blunder he had made.‘I completely forgot about her!’They had both exchanged glances and smiles numerous times that morning, so perhaps she had expected them to hang out.‘My mind was so swamped that I didn’t even remember her!’ Rey thought, panicking already.That was when he made a choice that, though illogical, felt deeply fulfilling emotionally."It’s not... for me," Rey replied to Aldred with a dismissive tone.He could already see Noah smirking beneath his hooded disguise, and he felt like punching his teeth out.‘So what if I got it for Alicia? It’s normal for friends to get each other gifts

In a luxurious office in an undisclosed location, a man stood by the window, paying no attention to the elegant chair and stunning desk behind him.The blond hair on his head was a lot longer than a man’s, but a tad shorter than a woman’s. He had a few wrinkles on his face, indicating his age, and a short beard that was neatly trimmed.His outfit matched the layout of the room—elegant and clearly expensive.He was watching the events of the marketplace—the Black Market—with a smile on his face.As one of the six members of the Obsidian Council, it pleased him to see the community thriving.As he savored the taste of his wine and reminisced, a sharp knock interrupted his thoughts. The man’s emerald eyes snapped towards the door, his smile slowly fading.“Come in.”The door creaked open, revealing a man dressed in a lavish waistcoat and formal attire. Despite his youthful appearance—likely in his early thirties—the wisdom reflected in his gaze betrayed his age. This was Aldred Winsley
