All Chapters of A Destiny Written in Blood: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

In the western outskirts of Flatstone stood a massive standalone villa.Inside the property was a large private fishing pond that covered about an acre. It sat far away from the nearby villages and was a popular spot for leisure fishing.This villa belonged to Nicholas's family and was a place his father often stayed at.The meeting location Nicholas chose with Dominic was this very villa.He picked it mainly because it was remote enough that no matter how much noise was made, it wouldn't draw attention.Nicholas's face was dark as he led a group of men into the villa and gave a low, sharp order."When that kid gets here, make sure he doesn't leave. Remember, no matter what, he's not walking out of here alive tonight. Got it?"The eight bodyguards all nodded at once. Each of them was armed and fully prepared to kill.Four bodyguards followed Nicholas upstairs, while the remaining four spread out around the villa, patrolling the ground floor.They waited for more than two hours

When Nicholas saw Rowena, Roy, and Hector, he looked surprised. "Huh? Didn't Dominic take these two? How did you find them?"Stanley said calmly, "He used Rowena's phone to call you. I had my people track the signal and found them."Nicholas suddenly understood and laughed. "Guess experience still wins. Thanks, Dad."Stanley shot him a glance. "Be smarter when you do things. All three of them knew Dominic was coming to find you."If you were set on killing Dominic, you should've dealt with them, too. How could you leave this many loose ends?"Nicholas shrugged, unconcerned. "Oh, you meant them. "Eh, it's nothing. Rowena works for me. And Roy took our money."As for Hector, if he spills a word about this later, I'll take care of him myself. No need to worry."Stanley glared at him. "That's exactly why I say you're still too green. You really think Rowena is that loyal?"Nicholas froze. "What do you mean?"Stanley took a deep breath and said heavily, "I only found out tonight

The glasses Dominic had prepared ahead of time turned out to be useful. At least it blocked some of the lime powder.On top of that, he had smeared a lot of oil over his body earlier, including his face and even around his eyes.Lime can be wiped away with oil, so it barely affected him at all.The bodyguards, caught completely off guard, had lime burned into their eyes and couldn't see anything around them.With oil all over the floor, several of them slipped and fell in the chaos, turning the scene into a complete mess.While the bodyguards were busy squeezing their eyes shut and dodging the lime, Dominic charged straight into the crowd.The first ones he reached were two bodyguards desperately rubbing their eyes. Lime mixed with moisture made the pain unbearable, and they had no attention left for anything else.Dominic reached them and struck without hesitation, using both boning knives to slice their throats.They followed the same fate as the earlier guard, collapsing to

Dominic kept his eyes locked on the two men while reaching down to pick up his shoe from the floor.Earlier, when that bodyguard grabbed his leg, he had yanked the shoe right off.Holding the shoe, Dominic backed up a few steps, then bent down as if to put it back on.The two bodyguards immediately seized the opening and charged together, raising their blades and hacking straight at Dominic.Just as they were about to reach him, Dominic, who had been crouched over, suddenly straightened up.He didn't put the shoe on at all. Instead, he yanked off his sock and swung it hard at the two bodyguards.Earlier, Dominic had stuffed a plastic bag full of lime inside that sock as well.Pretending to put his shoe on was just a cover so he could pull the bag out and get the lime ready.It was also meant to lure the two bodyguards closer.And sure enough, they charged right in.With a sharp flick of his wrist, the plastic bag inside the sock tore open, and the lime exploded outward in a w

The notebook mainly recorded transfer logs and various transaction records.Each transfer entry had a receipt attached from the time the money was moved.Dominic didn't recognize any of the account names, but the amounts involved were enormous.The transfer records were only the beginning. Toward the back, there were photos.Those photos were far more direct.Most of them were explicit bedroom photos.They showed adults, sometimes men in their 50s or 60s, lying in bed with young, attractive women.Among those photos, Dominic even found pictures of Judy. She appeared in bed with at least a dozen different men.He also spotted bedroom photos of several celebrities.Dominic didn't fully understand the transfer records at the front.But looking at these photos, he could pretty much guess what they were about.There was no doubt Stanley had taken these photos.Those men were likely powerful figures. Stanley used young women to entertain them, secretly took photos, and then used
