What she was really saying was that she took pride in being his wife.

Marcus’ lips curled into a smile as he drew Millie’s graceful hand toward their vehicle.

“I’d love to have his number.”

Harlan overheard their chatter and found it amusing.

If they knew the many ways people had met their end at his hands, they would surely flee at his sight.

Quickly, Harlan entered the teahouse where he learned of Jonah’s evening appearance.

With five levels to explore, he maintained his composure, systematically seeking out his target.

extended a hand to his companion.

“Mr. Morgan, I look forward to a fruitful collaboration! Let us join forces against our shared foe.”

The man reciprocated, chin held high. “I trust our partnership will be a joyful one!”

As the teahouse door swung open, Jonah’s confidence soared, believing his success was imminent.

agony.

Jonah sensed a deadly presence approaching. A sudden darkness enveloped the hallway.

“Protect me,” he commanded his bodyguards.

But it was already too late. In an instant, the assailant had torn open Jonah’s abdomen, leaving a

horrific, bloody scene. The air seemed thick with the stench of blood.

As the light returned, the guards were petrified by the grisly spectacle before them.

“Boss,” they screamed.

Within seconds of the lights going out and returning, their employer lay ripped open, his innards

exposed. The assault had been swift and merciless.

Jonah’s eyes fluttered open with great effort. “Hurry… Take me to the hospital.”
