"Your strength surpasses Nocturne and Daybreak's, but only by a margin."The red-haired man’s voice was calm, but beneath its smoothness lay an edge sharp enough to cut steel. He didn’t need to raise his tone; his authority was absolute, the kind that pressed down on anyone who heard ...
Chapter 227: Is That Alex Really That Powerful?

Chapter 101: Something’s Off
In Western culture, respect is a matter of hierarchy—but not the kind that comes with age or seniority. It’s about status. Class. Rank.So, in Audrey Hepburn’s six-person entourage, there was only one person who was ever formally addressed as “Ma’am.” The rest? Employees. Colleagues. Equa...

Henry dragged a folding chair into the shade beneath the aircraft hangar and set it down with a courteous smile. “Boss, we’ve got a decent load of supplies to haul off the plane. It’ll take a bit. Why don’t you rest here for a while?”Audrey Hepburn gave him a mild glare. “I’ve been sit...
Chapter 98: The New Destination
“I still can’t believe this is really happening,” Henry said, leaning back in his seat and staring out the window of the private jet. Blue skies, white clouds—it looked like a painting.Sure, the aircraft wasn’t one of those ultra-luxurious Gulfstreams, but it was a far cry from some rattli...

Chapter 96: Hidden Agendas
Henry didn’t believe for a second that Bryan Mills and his so-called “security team” had any designs on a retired movie star. No, their interest in Audrey Hepburn had nothing to do with her celebrity status—it was more likely that she was the perfect cover.Just like those “diplomatic” UN...
