A senior executive’s face contorted with rage. “Mr. Rhodes, what are you doing?”
Michael immediately slapped the old man across the face, sending him flying backward.
“Shut the hell up, you old bastard!” Michael sneered. “I already brought my people in, and you still have the nerve to ask me what I’m doing? Are you stupid?”
The entire room froze. No one had expected Michael to actually lay hands on someone. One by one, the executives instinctively took a step back, distancing themselves from him.
Michael ignored them all. He turned his attention to Tiana, his voice dark with warning. “Aunt Tiana, you have two choices. Either hand over the CEO position to me right now… Or don’t blame me for what happens next.”
Tiana’s fury erupted. “Michael, think about what you’re doing right now!”
Michael let out a cold, sinister laugh. “Originally, I didn’t want things to get ugly. “But that was under the assumption that you would be smart enough to hand over the position without a fight. Clearly, Aunt Tiana, you’ve failed to meet my no expectations. So now? Now, I have to take what’s mine!”
Lauren was shocked and furious. She was about to speak when Kingsley caught her wrist and shook his head. He wanted to see how far Michael really planned to take this. With Tiana here, there was no way Michael would succeed.
Tiana’s voice turned ice cold. “So, you’re telling me that you’re really going to turn against me just for the sake of a title? Use force against your own family?”
Michael’s smile twisted into something unhinged. “And what if I am? I’m done pretending to respect you. Everyone else might fear you, but my father and I don’t.”
Tiana’s gaze turned murderous.
“Even Kenny wouldn’t dare speak to me like this, Michael. Are you really so unafraid of death?” Do you actually think that just because you brought in a low-level thug like Bane, you can overthrow me?”
Seeing Tiana’s unwavering stance, the rest of the executives felt a surge of confidence. One by one, they started shouting.
“Mr. Rhodes, you’re a disgrace! How dare you defy Mrs. Rhodes? You’re finished!”
“Do you think bringing in some hired muscle makes a difference? Mrs. Rhodes is still in charge here! You will fail!”
“Mrs. Rhodes, why waste time arguing? Just have him arrested and let the authorities handle it!”
Yet, Michael just laughed a deep, guttural laugh-like he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
Bane and his men smirked along with him, their expressions full of scorn. Not a single one of them seemed the least bit concerned.
Tiana narrowed her eyes. “You little bastard, I’ll give you one chance. Get on your knees, admit your mistake, and wait for the family’s punishment. Otherwise, even Kenny won’t be able to save you from the consequences of threatening me with force.”
Michael smirked confidently. “Aunt Tiana, if we went head-to-head, I know I wouldn’t stand a chance against you. I’m not that stupid. You’re a tough Iron Lady -not so easy to take down, but what you don’t know is that this room is already poisoned.”
His words sent a shockwave through the room.
“What? You poisoned us beforehand?”
“Check! Where’s the source?”
“Stay calm! He could just be bluffing to throw us off!”
Some executives panicked immediately, frantically looking around. Others scoffed, refusing to believe him, until one of them suddenly collapsed, groaning in pain and clutching his stomach.
Then, a second, and a third. One by one, the top executives who had attended the meeting doubled over, sweating profusely as they crumpled to the floor.
Lauren and Eunice were among them, their faces paling as they clutched their stomachs and sank to their knees.
Michael burst into laughter, his arrogance on full display. “All of you stay down! When this is over, if you prove your loyalty, I may consider sparing you. But if you refuse to comply? Well, let’s just say it’ll be your last day on earth.”
Tiana’s face darkened as she grabbed the cup of tea on the table and took a deep sniff.
A second later, she gritted her teeth. “You poisoned the damn tea!”
Michael chuckled. “Wow, Aunt Tiana, you’re sharp! You figured that out so quickly. Impressive, truly impressive!”
Tiana’s body swayed, her balance faltering. She slumped back into her chair, clutching her chest as pain spread through her veins.
Bane let out a sinister laugh. “Mrs. Rhodes, I strongly advise against trying to purge the poison from your system. The more you circulate your blood, the faster the toxin spreads. If you keep resisting, you might just die sooner.”
Tiana clenched her jaw and gave up, her limbs going limp as she glared at him. “Bane, have you thought about what happens after this? Do you even know what kind of consequences you might for helping Michael?”
Bane waved a hand dismissively. “Mrs. Rhodes, I don’t make moves unless I’ve already calculated the risks. So, no need to waste your breath worrying about me. Worry about yourself.”
Tiana’s gaze flicked toward Kingsley, and then she froze. She noticed that while everyone else had collapsed, he was still standing, seemingly unaffected.
“Mr. Baldwin-help us! Please!” A flicker of hope flashed in Tiana’s eyes as she immediately called out to him.
Hearing Tiana’s desperate plea, both Michael and Bane snapped their heads toward Kingsley. What they saw made their stomachs drop.
Kingsley was just standing there and looking perfectly fine.
Michael’s face twisted in disbelief. “Kingsley, why the hell are you still on your feet?!”
“That’s impossible!” Bane growled. “Even a peak senior grandmaster couldn’t withstand my poison. You have to be faking it!”
Michael’s expression turned panicked. “There’s no way you didn’t get poisoned! How the hell are you still standing?!”
Kingsley remained calm, watching their panic unfold with amusement. He asked casually, “Why would I be poisoned? I never drank the tea.”
Bane let out a sharp laugh. “Don’t be stupid. Do you really think I only poisoned the tea? You’re just holding on, but trust me, the effects will hit you soon!”
His confidence was absolute. He was certain Kingsley had been poisoned and was just pretending to be fine.
Kingsley smirked. “Bane, I know you poisoned more than just the tea. You also burned a colorless toxin in the air-hidden behind that plant in the corner of the room.”
Kingsley smirked. “Poisoning the air ensures that even those who didn’t drink the tea would still be affected. This was the brilliant master plan you and Michael were so confident about, wasn’t it?”
His casual, almost mocking tone sent a chill through the room.
Michael was not the only one looking shaken now. Even Bane, who had been grinning wickedly before, had gone completely silent. His expression darkened, filled with unease.
“You actually noticed the colorless poison? Impressive, Kingsley. You continue to surprise me,” Bane admitted.
He was shocked but refused to let it show. Men like him had spent their lives in the underworld, and they were masters of deception, skilled at keeping their emotions hidden.
“But even if you did figure it out and even if you didn’t get poisoned, it doesn’t change a thing,” Bane sneered. Michael grinned menacingly. “Yeah, Kingsley, you might’ve dodged the poison, but so what? Bane and I have more than enough people here to take you down.”
Bane chuckled. “We don’t even need all of us. Just me and one of my men will be more than enough to finish you off.”
Tiana’s voice was sharp and urgent. “Mr. Baldwin, the safety of everyone in this company is now in your hands. If you can get us out of this, I’ll agree to anything you ask for!
Lauren, breathing heavily from the poison’s effects, shook her head. “Dr. Baldwin, don’t worry about us. Just run- get out of here and call the police. That’s the best chance to save everyone!”
Marcus agreed. “Mr. Baldwin, you’re outnumbered. Fighting them head-on is too risky. Forget us. If you call the authorities, Michael and his thugs won’t escape.” Michael scoffed. “Call the cops? Do you think I’d give you that chance? Right now, all of you are too weak to move, and only Kingsley is still standing.”
His grin widened as he pulled out a gleaming knife, holding it against Lauren’s throat. “And Kingsley-if you so much as twitch, I’ll slit her throat.”
Lauren’s eyes burned with fury. “Michael, you coward! You have no shame!”
Michael sneered. “Like I had a choice! You all forced me into this! And especially you, Kingsley. Today is the day you die!”
Kingsley remained unfazed. “You’ve been ranting for so long about how you’re going to kill me. But if that’s the case, why haven’t you done it yet? Or is it that you’re just all talk-too much of a coward to actually make a move?Michael’s face twisted in rage. “Bane! Get rid of him! Now! Once he’s crippled, I’ll finish him off myself!”
Kingsley chuckled. “Oh? So you’re scared, Michael? You want Bane to die first just so you don’t have to face me yourself?”
Bane’s expression darkened.
“Kingsley, you’re getting way too cocky. I’ve been waiting for a chance to teach yo lesson. Finally, the chance has come for you to learn that experience always bene tafent!”
He snapped his fingers. “Simon-do it!”
raw
At his command, a thin, frail-looking man stepped out of the shadows. His face was gaunt, his eyes sunken, his figure almost sickly. He slowly pulled down the hood of his cloak, revealing his skeletal face, and let out a low, sinister duckde.
“Kingsley, I’ve waited for this moment for so long, You dyed me, shutter my red pandexing me i shell of a man. 1 swear, I’ll make you pay in blood today
Kingsley raised a brow, looking him up and down. Then, wizi wprice, he muttered, “Sin? You will alive?”
Simon’s eyes blazed with fury, “You’re still alive, so why the hell would be dead!! You stole
Francesca from me and exiled me from the Alckers. I’m here to settle our scor
The moment the words left his mouth, his hands turned back, coated in a toxic sheen as he lunged at Kingsley with a feral rage.
“Kingsley, maybe I wasn’t your equal before, but after being trained and empowered by Mr. Ealinger-if I don’t kill you tonight, then I’m not a man!” Today’s Bonus Offer
Kingsley said, “You were never man to begin with.”
Simon lunged forward, his attacks filled with venomous force. Yet, Kingsley did not even flinch. Instead, he let out a mocking chuckle. Then, without hesitation, he met the attack head-on, throwing out both fists to counter.
Tiana’s voice rang out urgently. “Mr. Baldwin, be careful! His hands are laced with poison! You can’t make direct contact!”
Bane sneered. “Ah, Mrs. Rhodes, always so sharp-eyed and observant. But unfortunately, even if you see it coming, it changes nothing. Simon has mastered a lethal poison technique.
“Even if Kingsley manages to dodge his strikes, his fate is already sealed. No matter what, his body will rot from the inside out!”
Simon’s poison was indeed insidious. His attacks carried a toxic force; even his breath could spread venomous particles into the air. In other words, there was virtually no way to defend against it.
But Kingsley? Kingsley never feared poison. He had shrugged off far worse before. Not even Gordon’s deathly poison affected him.
So, what was Simon’s poison compared to that?
Kingsley caught Simon’s fists mid-air, then cracked him across the face twice, sending Simon flying.
Lauren gasped. “Dr. Baldwin, watch out for the poison!”
Kingsley remained calm. “Relax.”
Simon groaned as he struggled back to his feet, spitting out a mouthful of thick, black blood.
“You can hit as hard as you want,” Simon rasped, his lips twisting into a grin. “But every time you strike me, the poison seeps deeper into your body. Let’s see who lasts longer, Kingsley. Will you kill me first-or will my poison kill you?”
His bloodshot eyes gleamed with madness. Cultivating poison techniques had twisted his very nature. Now, he fought like a rabid animal, completely unafraid of death, lunging at Kingsley once more.
Kingsley snorted, unfazed. With a single step, he planted a devastating kick into Simon’s chest.
A thud echoed through the room as Simon spat another mouthful of blood-this time a deep, sickly black. Kingsley instinctively lifted his sleeve to shield his face, but even so, a few drops splattered onto his clothes. Simon clutched his chest, coughing violently, before looking up with a sinister smile.
“You didn’t see that coming, did you? My blood is pure poison. Do you know how deadly a single drop of cobra venom is? It can kill 20 grown men. But my blood? It can take down 50. Kingsley, your time is up!”
Kingsley smirked. “Oh, really?”
