Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Tenth Monarch: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

So, that was a good sign.Panther laughed and nodded. "Yes, they found the car that fetched him and confirmed that he was inside. Besides Ted, there was a driver and a bodyguard or friend, but it doesn't matter! Even with three people, we can handle them easily."Panther's right-hand man immediately congratulated him.Panther couldn't conceal his joy. "It was sheer luck, but luck is exactly what I needed, haha! It's a very good sign. Something tells me that this trip to Eastport is going to go swimmingly.""Boss, should we inform Ms. Lambert about this? We should let them know the good news so they can celebrate!"Panther paused, then nodded. "Call Josie, that assistant of hers, and explain simply. No need to get into the details, just tell her we've found the target. Let them know I'll go get him myself once we get to Eastport. Also, ask if Ms. Lambert has any other instructions."His right-hand man immediately nodded with a smile and dialed Josie's number.At that moment, Josi

Luna smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing like that, just a small favor. Of course, if he plays his part well, I wouldn't mind putting in a good word for him. Whether the Whites help depends on his luck… Though in all honesty, I do hope for their intervention to resolve this issue. It's really quite trivial, but I can tell it carries immense weight in his heart—it's a matter of life and death for him. If I help him, he'll be completely loyal to me in the future."Luna had her own plans, after all, and Panther would be a decently useful pawn. She couldn't just go to the Whites or Jimmy for every trivial inconvenience, could she? She needed her own pawns, ones that would be at her complete disposal.Panther was a solid choice. He had a foundation, influence, and was remarkably vicious and robust. More importantly, now that understood Panther's deepest fear, he basically had him on a leash.Hearing this, Josie didn't have much to comment on it either."So what do we do, Ms. Lamber

To put it bluntly, some people would actually be happy if Pantera continued being vegan and spent a few more years cultivating his temper. That way, Easton's underworld would finally have some peace.Shortly thereafter, the car stopped in front of a courtyard exuding antique charm. Above the doorway, the words Charity Hearts were carved in wood. Judging by its appearance, the building was over a century old, and it occupied an extensive plot of land.Ted got out of the car, but instead of immediately entering Charity Hearts, he turned toward a smaller courtyard on the right—Charity Hearts Orphanage.The orphanage wasn't exactly picturesque, but it was comfortable, decorated with rock gardens, fountains, grassy lawns, and trees. Two villas served as the living area for the orphans and the staff, while a slightly larger single-story building nearby functioned as the orphanage's cafeteria.Though there were no security guards stationed at the gates, staff members routinely questioned

Tenzin blinked in confusion before he shook his head apologetically. "Sorry, Mr. York. Perhaps you're not aware, but the Charity Abode has never been open to the public."Wolfie, seeing this as an opportunity to prove himself, blurted out, "What do you mean by not open to the public? How can you refuse to serve guests when you're operating a business? Isn't it just a private room? What, are you going to divide your customers into different ranks? Enough talk, just open those doors! Were our donations today not enough for you to let us eat a meal there?"Wolfie thought he was proving his worth, but he didn't see how Ted's expression quickly darkened behind him.Meanwhile, Tenzin's gaze became cold as well, and it was clear he didn't fear Wolfie in the slightest."Sir, Charity Abode has never been open to the public, and this has been the rule since the establishment of Charity Hearts. If you think that you can manipulate us just because you made some donations, then you're sorely mi

Considering how much Ted tormented him, it was really anyone's guess.Curious, Wolfie asked, "What is this old acquaintance of yours doing now? You two must have been close, for you to remember him like this?"Ted was silent for a while, before he softly replied, "He died. It was for my sake, in a sense, but also because he went off on his own accord. I wasn't strong enough, back then, and he wanted to help me solve a problem I had, so he acted without my permission and went on the offense by himself. In the end, he walked straight into an ambush, and… He didn't even leave behind a complete corpse."Ah, no wonder Ted was acting like that.No wonder he was talking so much to Wolfie. He was thinking about his fallen friend, caught up in nostalgia, and seeing a shadow of that person in Wolfie.Was this kindness?Wolfie wasn't sure, but there was one thing he really wanted to ask."Then… Did you avenge him?"He didn't ask who the enemy was, what problems led up to that point, nor h
