For some reason, this was the last thing Nola expected at all. Adrian had said that he’d crash the whole of EpicTech empire, and now the news was saying it’s been confirmed that EpicTech has entered bankruptcy. “Does this mean that Adrian is that powerful to crash the whole of EpicTech? Or is it because he’s somehow connected to Mr. Steve?” Lyra found herself asking these questions. The news seemed to get to her more than she expected, and she couldn’t put the pieces together. It’s certain that Mr. Steve is recognized as a wealthy person, but she didn’t think it’s even possible he’d do such a thing because of Adrian. “Or, could they actually be related?” she asked again. But her mother was silent, thinking hard for an answer. She rolled her eyes toward her mother. Her mother was always good at explaining things, but right now she seemed to be silent. “It must be that EpicTech was already going through a financial crisis before now,” Nola said. From all she could think of, no

Her eyes widened in disbelief at the words she had just heard.She couldn’t believe her family would be able to send someone to rescue her. At the same time, a surge of emotions rushed through her as she thought of how much her family had tried to help her.When she was younger, her mother had to work hard every day, and her father as well, just so she could have a good education. Despite their background, they sacrificed everything for her.So, when Kane had come to seek her hand in marriage, she felt it was her turn to pay them back for all their sacrifices.On the day of the wedding, when her dad asked her, “Are you sure you really love him? Because if you don’t, I won’t hesitate to tell him I’m not giving my daughter to him, no matter who he is,” she couldn’t hold back the tears rolling down her cheeks.In truth, she had no plan to be in any relationship yet—she hadn’t finished her studies, and her goal was to find a good job once she graduated. But her mother’s eagerness for her

One of the guards, coming in behind the rest, froze the moment he saw the fight unfolding. The others were already groaning in pain, sprawled on the rain-soaked ground, all brought down by a single man. Seeing that scene, he knew better than to charge forward. Backup was his only hope. Just then, the talking device Adrian had picked up earlier from one of the guards crackled. “Team Alpha, come to the rooftop now! And every other team—reminding everyone to the rooftop now. The culprit is right there.” The call went out to all the remaining guards in the area. They worked in many groups, each with different names, but Team Alpha consisted of the most skilled soldiers among them. Team Alpha were the ones guarding the room where drugs were being manufactured—specially trained, handpicked to be stronger than the rest. A place like that carried too many secrets; there could be no slack. “We’ll be there now.” “My team’s on the way.” “Team C is coming up.” “Aiit, teams moving now.”

“Boss, you might want to see this yourself.” The talking device sounded, alarming the team leaders. The man shrugged his shoulders. “What’s it?” he asked. He expected it shouldn’t be too much of a problem for them to handle anyway. But now, hearing that he’d have to go see for himself, he was unsure of what was going on—yet he still didn’t believe it’d be that serious at all. “It’d be better if you see for yourself,” the guard replied. His tone sounded almost as though he had lost the deep breath it used to carry, now coming out fragile and thin. “On my way,” the man said, signaling to the remaining guards that lined up to follow behind him. Inside the building, once Adrian stepped into the room, he quickly moved toward the chamber where he suspected one of the Voss would be. The structure of the building here was the same as Kane’s own. There were many rooms in this one, which made it feel a little different, yet it was still easy to target the important spaces. Looking up

Adrian had warned Jordan not to make any move, but he wouldn’t listen. Just as he pointed the gun toward Adrian, before he knew it, he wasn’t seeing him standing there anymore. He thought in his mind that he’d just pick his gun and shoot him. Even if Adrian wasn’t a threat, he wouldn’t have a problem ending his life. Since he was free to make decisions or even eliminate any guards he felt weren’t worth living, he could just count Adrian as one of them. But what shocked him was that by the time he turned his head, Adrian had already vanished from his view. “Where the hell did that b*stard go?” he muttered, anger rising in his voice. Unexpectedly, Adrian’s arm clamped around his neck, choking him hard against the wall from behind. “Where’s Don?” Adrian asked in a voice like iron. Jordan felt his whole body vibrate at the sheer force of the tone, his knees threatening to buckle. Don — the head of the Voss family. To truly end it all, Adrian knew Don must be eliminated. Don was
