“Calm down. As long as I’m here, Nyla will not die.”
It was only then that he took a second to reassure Francesca.
The process was grueling. For nearly five hours, Kingsley worked tirelessly, extracting every last trace of poison from Nyla’s body.
One by one, the silver needles absorbed the toxins, turning black as ink. The moment they touched a bowl of water, the liquid turned pitch-dark, swirling with lethal venom.
Francesca watched in horror. “Oh my… if you had been even a little late, Nyla would’ve…”
She could not bring herself to finish the sentence. Instead, she choked back a sob, overwhelmed with relief.
The black palm mark on Nyla’s shoulder had faded significan’tly. To ensure no lingering effects, Kingsley fed her a few detox pills, ensuring that every last remnant of the
Plaguebringer’s Palm was ov fel eradicated.
Finally, he let out a long breath.
On the bed, Nyla slowly opened her eyes, her voice barely a whisper. “Dr. Aicker… Dr. Baldwin… you’re all here…”
Francesca immediately gripped her hands. “Nyla, don’t be scared! Kingsley’s here you’re safe now!” Nyla turned her weak gaze toward Kingsley, offering a faint smile.
“Dr. Baldwin… thank you… But you need to leave… That hunchbacked man is dangerous He was looking for you… When I said I didn’t know where you were, he said… he’d make me ? experience a fate worse than death…”
on
Nyla’s voice was barely above a whisper. “Then… he struck me with his palm… Everything went dark… I wanted to warn you, Dr. Baldwin, but I blacked out before I could.”
Kingsley pressed his hands gently on her shoulders. “Nyla, you don’t need to say anything else. Just rest.” Nyla shook her head weakly, refusing to stay silent. “Dr. Baldwin, run! That hunchbacked old man is terrifying. He said he’d come back. If he can’t find you, he’ll kill one person a day… until you show up.” Francesca clenched her fists, her entire body trembling with rage. “That psycho!”
Kingsley’s expression turned bone-chillingly cold. “Don’t worry. He won’t get the chance. Fran, stay here and watch over Nyla. I need to take care of something.
There was something in Kingsley’s voice-something final-that made Francesca’s heart skip a beat. She reached for him in panic. “Kingsley, where are you going? Please, be careful!”
Kingsley nodded but did not stop. “I won’t be long.”
His G-Wagon roared to life, tires screeching as he sped straight toward Snees Mansion. He thought Aspen and Gordon had gone too far, and since they wanted violence, he would give them violence.
…
Meanwhile, inside Snees Mansion, Aspen sat in her room, sipping freshly brewed coffee. For the first time in ages, she actually felt relaxed.
Ever since coming to Jayrodale, she had suffered one humiliating setback after another.
“Mr. Woods already made his move on Moonlit Apothecary,” she mused, taking another slow sip.
“Kingsley slipped away by sheer luck, but that doesn’t matter. As long as we got one of his little pets killed, it should be enough to terrify him.”
A cruel smile curled on her lips; her revenge was just beginning. First, she would take down Kingsley. Then, she would eliminate Rodney from Madblade Martial Academy. Next, she would crush Harvey and Rhodes Corporation.
Anyone who had ever opposed her would be destroyed, stolen from, and ruined. It did not matter if it meant bloodshed. After all, she had Gordon, a peak senior grandmaster, backing her.
If someone got in her way? She would have him kill them.
This was not just about revenge anymore. Aspen wanted to strip Jayrodale for everything it was worth, amass an insane fortune, and disappear back to Bridgefields before anyone could stop her.
As for the chaos she left behind? Not her problem. That mess would be for her dearest Hannah to clean up.
Lately, Irene and Leroy had started treating her with less respect, whispering behind her back like ungrateful little rats. Of course, she knew why.
Those two were opportunists. As long as she brought them power and wealth, they worshiped her. Yet, now that she had hit a rough patch, they were already preparing to betray her.
Even so, Aspen could not care less. If they pushed their luck, she would have Gordon take care of them both. At the very least, she would make sure they never dared to speak against her again.
The only one she still had some affection for was Hannah. Unlike the others, Hannah had always been supportive and respectful toward her.
If things went well, Aspen figured she might introduce Hannah to one of the wealthy families in Blumedale. It would be a good trade-Hannah was beautiful, and those wealthy heirs loved pretty women.
If she played it right, she could sell Hannah off for a damn good price. Aspen smirked to herself. Just as she was about to take another sip of coffee, a loud crash suddenly sounded.
From the front of the mansion came a woman’s furious scream. Then, a gut-wrenching howl of pain.
Moments later, a deep, commanding voice thundered through the entire estate.
“Aspen, get your ass out of here!”
Aspen slammed her coffee down and strode toward the front hall. She wanted to see who had the guts to call her by name so brazenly.
In the front hall, Leroy clutched his stomach, his face twisted in rage. He spat, “Kingsley, you barged into the Snees mansion and still had the nerve to hit me? You better believe Hannah will make you pay for this!”
Irene shrieked hysterically, “Kingsley, you’re nothing but a heartless bastard! No matter what, Hannah was with you for so long, and this is how you repay her? How could you go after Leroy like that? Do you even have a conscience?”
Kingsley cast them both a cold glance and smirked. “Leroy, you know damn well why you got hit! The second I walked you charged at me like a mad dog. What was I supposed to do, just stand there and let you take a free shot?”
Leroy gritted his teeth, seething. “You’ve gotten real cocky, Kingsley. Don’t forget, everything you have today exists because of the Snees family!”
Irene shouted, “Exactly! You owe us! You should be giving us half of everything you have. If it weren’t for Hannah and the Snees family giving you a chance, do you really think you’d be where you are today?” Kingsley let out a mocking laugh. “Give you half? You’ve got some nerve to say that! What exactly did the Snees family give me? The only thing you two ever did was stick your hands out for money!” Irene was livid. “I don’t care! If you dare refuse, Kingsley, I swear I’ll make your life a living hell!” Kingsley did not even bother responding. This greedy, money-hungry woman meant nothing to him now. In fact, the entire Snees family was insignifican’t. If he wanted, he could make them disappear from Jayrodale with just a single order, and no one would even know how it happened.
At that moment, Hannah and Aspen stepped into the hall. One wore an icy expression, while the other looked amused and taunting.
“Kingsley, you’ve got some guts,” Aspen sneered, crossing her arms. “Instead of hiding, you’re out here strutting around. Aren’t you afraid Mr. Woods will find you and make you regret it?”
Kingsley’s face remained expressionless. “I’m here for one reason. Where is that old bastard Gordon?” Aspen’s face twisted with anger. “Kingsley, do you have a death wish? You’re actually looking for Mr. Woods? You must be tired of living!”
Kingsley’s eyes narrowed. “I’ll ask one more time-where is Gordon?”
Aspen smirked. “You want to find Mr. Woods? Too bad, I’m not telling you. What are you going to do about it?”
A mocking grin played at Kingsley’s lips. “Aspen, you really shouldn’t test my patience-especially when I’m already boiling with rage.”
He took a single step forward, moving like a streak of lightning.
Before Aspen could even react, she felt a gust of wind by her ear. If the next instant, his hand was wrapped around her throat.
“Let… go… of me!” she choked out, struggling desperately. “Kingsley… if you lay a finger on me… I swear I’ll kill you!”
Her face turned red as she gasped for breath, but Kingsley’s grip was unyielding. For the first time, fear gripped her.
She was not weak-far from it. She was a junior grandmaster in her own right, unlike Hannah, who was just a helpless woman.
And yet, in Kingsley’s hands, she could not even put up a fight. He had taken her down effortlessly.
She wondered how strong Kingsley actually was. The realization sent a chill down her spine. After all, not even Gordon could subdue her from several feet away with such ease.
“Talk,” Kingsley’s voice was icy. “Where is Gordon? This is your last chance. If I don’t get the answer I want, the Snees family will be holding a funeral tomorrow.”
His tone was not loud or aggressive, but to Aspen, it sounded like the whisper of the devil himself. Faced with the possibility of death, Aspen finally caved.
She gasped, “Mr. Woods is at the… Northside… the Bamboo Hill Estate!”
Kingsley scoffed and shoved her away before turning to leave. He had moved so fast that the Snees family was still frozen in shock.
Hannah finally snapped out of it and rushed forward, blocking his path. She yelled, “Stop right there! You think you can just walk away after attacking someone? Kingsley, you’re completely out of control! How could you do this?”
Kingsley’s voice was devoid of emotion. “Move.”
“I won’t! What are you gonna do-hit me? Kill me?”
Kingsley smirked. “If you want to talk about killing, maybe you should ask Aspen what she’s been up to. You’re lucky my people are unharmed, so I’ll let this slide today. But if anything happens to them, Aspen won’t be walking out of Jayrodale alive.”
Hannah turned to Aspen, her expression uncertain and her voice trembling. “Aspen, did Mr. Woods… really kill someone?”
Aspen clutched her throat, her eyes filled with resentment. “Mr. Woods’ actions are beyond my control. All I can say is that Kingsley brought this on himself!”
Hannah’s face twisted with anger. “Kingsley, all of this happened because you provoked Aspen in the first place! I told you long ago-if you’d just apologized to her and returned the money, this whole mess would’ve been over. But you just had to be stubborn, didn’t you? Who do you have to blame but yourself?” Kingsley sneered. “Hannah, I swear, you’ve gotten even dumber these days. Can you even tell right from wrong anymore? How the hell are you running Snees Corporation when you can’t see the truth right in front of you?”
He let out a cold laugh, shaking his head. “Then again, I shouldn’t be surprised. I helped you and Snees Corporation more times than I can count, but you never appreciated it. Instead, you chose to trust idiots like Shawn and Harvey. How did that work out for you?”
Hannah’s face flushed with embarrassment and rage. She shot back through gritted teeth, “What help? What did you ever do for me? Don’t act like you were some savior. I know exactly what you’re trying to do -you just want me to feel guilty, to be grateful to you!”
She continued, “Well, forget it. I, Hannah Snees, don’t need your help, and you are certainly not worthy of giving it!”
Her chest heaved with each angry breath, her emotions spiraling out of control.
Kingsley chuckled and shook his head. “Hannah, look at yourself. You’re no longer the poised, elegant CEO you pretend to be. Right now, you look like a bitter woman too scared to face reality.”
He added, “Fine. Since you’re so determined to stay blind, let me break it down for you. The South City Orphanage project? I handed that to you on a silver platter. That time you went to Jayrodale Bank for a loan and nearly got assaulted? I was the one who saved you.
“Mark stepping in to defuse the situation? Yeah, that was because of my connections-not Harvey’s pathetic attempts to impress you. You chose to believe Harvey’s lies and turned your back on me. In the end, you paid the price for that decision.”
He took a step forward, his voice sharp and cold. “And let’s not forget your whole family fawning over Shawn like he was some golden boy while treating me like garbage. Your mom and your brother both looked down on me like I was nothing. Well, guess what? The Snees family is nothing to me. Shawn? He’s been lying low because he’s scared that I’ll go after him.”
Kingsley did not stop there, saying,
“Remember when your family poured all that money into that doomed East Side project? I warned you about it beforehand, didn’t? But you all thought you were smarter than me.
“Meanwhile, Lauren, Fran, and I made a killing because I knew exactly where the city planned to develop next. While you were busy kissing up to the Weller family, I was already ahead of the game.”
His eyes glinted with satisfaction as Hannah stood there, her mouth slightly open, speechless.
“One more thing,” Kingsley added with a smirk. If it weren’t for Mr. Snees Senior helping me when I first arrived in Jayrodale, I wouldn’t have lifted a single finger for the Snees family. So let me make it crystal clear for you, Hannah. The success Snees Corporation is enjoying today? It’s because of me.
“You’ve been living comfortably off the empire I built, and not only did you never thank me, but you also had the audacity to call me unambitious, someone who couldn’t keep up with your grand vision.’
Kingsley’s eyes were cold and sharp. “That’s why I say you’re an idiot, Hannah. You just don’t see it. I’ve said my piece. You and the Snees family? Good luck-you’re gonna need it.’
With that, Kingsley turned around and walked away without looking back.
Hannah stood frozen, her mind swirling as memories from the past flooded in One by one, the moments Kingsley mentioned resurfaced,. fitting together like puzzle pieces. Her face grew pale, and a cold wave of dread washed over her,
“No… no, it can’t be. He’s lying,” she muttered, shaking her head. “He’s just a doctor… a nobody. How could he have pulled all of that off?”
“This has to be a lie… it has to be!” Tears streamed down her face as she bolted toward the front door. She ran outside, her heart racing, only to see the taillights of Kingsley’s car disappearing into the night. Her voice cracked as she screamed after him, “Kingsley, stop! You need to tell me the truth! You can’t just leave it like this!”
But the only response was the roar of the engine as his car vanished into the distance.
“Hannah, don’t listen to that loser’s nonsense. He’s just making stuff up to mess with you-none of it is true!” Irene said hurriedly, noticing her daughter’s shaken expression.
Leroy snorted. “Hannah, you’re not actually buying Kingsley’s crap, are you? Come on, he really stood there and claimed he built Snees Corporation from the ground up. What a joke!”
