In My Boss's Embrace: The Mafia King Returns のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Angeline’s voice was loud. Lucas panicked, terrified that she would wake his mother.Rather than getting caught undressed and trying to explain the unexplainable, Lucas scrambled to put all his clothes back on before hurrying out of the bedroom.Sure enough, his worst fear had come true. His mother was already standing right outside the door.Did she hear? What if she knows?"Mom?" Lucas's face paled with anxiety.His biggest fear wasn't for himself; it was the toll the shock would take on his mother's fragile health if she found out what he had just done to Angeline. A year ago, he had received the devastating news that his mother was gravely ill. That was the day he had given up his title as the Capital's Mafia King, walking away from immense wealth and absolute power just to take care of her."What's going on? Why was Angeline screaming? And why are you sweating like that? What exactly were you doing in her room?" Rose interrogated, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.Without waitin

Lucas let out a long sigh. "You should be thanking me for saving you from a bad investment. If you don't know the first thing about antiques, don't pretend to be an expert. It's embarrassing."Feeling deeply insulted, John ground his teeth. In all his years, he had never been talked down to by some snot-nosed kid."You insolent brat! How dare you speak to us like that!" John growled. "Do you have any idea who we are?"Lucas was completely unfazed. His flat, fearless expression only fueled John's fury.Pointing a trembling finger right at Lucas's face, John spat, "You really have no shame, do you? You don't even have the decency to apologize.""For your information, I am the Chairman of the Verdansk City Council. It would take a snap of my fingers to banish you and your entire family from this city. I could have your house demolished without a single dime in compensation!"Lucas actually laughed at the threat."So the Chairman of the City Council's only job is threatening the citizens?

The entire room instantly fell dead silent.A few moments later, however, the room erupted in uproarious laughter."Hahaha... how ridiculous. Do you think securing an investment is as easy as playing Monopoly?" Bella chuckled. "Poor people really don't know the first thing about business.""Tch! You think you're some big shot with a vast, powerful network? You're just a contract employee. Your chances of getting that investment are absolutely zero," Jeremy sneered."I heard that more than half the companies in Everdale Province have applied for that investment, and most of them have a much higher valuation than Liquid Corp. Just how exactly do you plan on securing it? Begging like you usually do? Or acting like a doormat? Give it up, it's impossible," Sabrina said, a corner of her lip curling into a smirk.Mockery poured in from the rest of the family as well. It seemed everyone wanted to chime in on Lucas's absolute absurdity."I know the people there. Their CEO used to be my subordi

Hearing that the place he had called "home" for years was in grave danger made Lucas furious. Knowing that the innocent citizens were also suffering the consequences only fueled his rage.However, deciding to return wasn't that simple. There were many things to consider, his mother's well-being being the absolute priority."How much longer can you hold out?" Lucas asked."If their strength remains as it is now, we can hold the line for at least another six months. But Veleno could fall much sooner than that because they are growing stronger by the day," Axel replied, his face etched with worry. "That is exactly why I came looking for you, The Obsidian Blade. We need you desperately."Lucas nodded slowly. "Tell Angelo I will return when the time is right. For now, play it safe and keep a low profile. Minimize any clashes with the Dominus Noctis Organization or any other foreign syndicates until I get there."Lucas was intimately familiar with the domestic powers within Varkonia. But wh

A man arrived and walked straight up to Magdalena and Lucas."What's going on here?" asked the man with a deep voice. It was Albin.Magdalena shot Lucas an annoyed glare. "Brother, this guy came here and started causing a scene. He claims my restaurant's renovation is causing problems for the neighborhood. Even though everything has been going perfectly fine."Since he was standing behind Lucas, Albin took two steps forward to see who was making a fuss at his sister's restaurant.When he turned his head, he was shocked to see Lucas."Lucas?"Lucas remembered Albin's face perfectly well."You're... Albin, right? That old man's head of security?""His name is Giorgio Moratta. He is the Vice Chairman of the Trade Union," Albin clarified.Lucas nodded in understanding.Magdalena was stunned to discover her brother actually knew Lucas."You know him?" Magdalena asked.Albin nodded. "Yes, I know him. But we've only met once."Magdalena felt a wave of relief knowing Albin had only met Lucas
