Even Jayrodale’s wealthiest man, Marvin, would not be able to shield Kingsley from this storm.
Tears streamed down Lauren’s face as she choked out, “Dr. Baldwin, no matter what happens, I swear I’ll stand by you. I’ll beg my father. He will find a way to help you. You have to hold on!”
Tiana barked out an order, her voice sharp. “Jerry, take Lauren away. Now!”
Jerry immediately gripped Lauren by the arm, hurried her out of the building, and straight back to the Rhodes residence.
Meanwhile, Kingsley pulled out his phone and made a call. “Come get this dead loser out of here.”
Tiana’s expression turned even colder. “You’re seriously not planning to run? Even now, you’re still standing here, wasting time?”
Kingsley glanced at her and let out a mocking chuckle. “Did I ever say I was running, Mrs. Rhodes?”
Tiana’s head buzzed as if she had just been struck. Her voice turned razor-sharp. “Kingsley, do you actually think you can go up against Kenny and the Golding family?
“You have no idea what you’ve done. Your reckless, idiotic bravado isn’t just going to get you killed-it’s going to drag Marvin down with you! You didn’t just make a mess-you just signed a death warrant for yourself and everyone around you!”
Kingsley remained expressionless, completely unfazed by her outburst. “Mrs. Rhodes, Lauren is gone now, so I suggest you watch how you talk to me. Michael did say something right today-when I respect you, I call you Mrs. Rhodes. But if I don’t respect you… then you’re nothing.”
Tiana’s face turned a shade of red so deep it was almost purple. She glared at him, her fury nearly boiling over. “What did you just say?! Say it again, I dare you!”
Her bodyguards immediately stepped forward, their voices booming. “Watch your mouth!”
Across the room, Marcus and the rest of the Rhodes Corporation executives stood frozen. Their minds were blank, struggling to comprehend just how far this whole situation had spiraled.
Kingsley had already beaten Bane to a pulp and completely crippled Michael. Now, he openly challenged Tiana as if he did not care about the consequences.
At this point, Marcus did not even bother trying to intervene, knowing there was no point.
Kingsley had clearly lost all concern for consequences, and if he went ahead and destroyed the Rhodes Corporation too, Marcus might as well pack his bags, retire, and enjoy life with his daughter.
Tiana’s murderous intent was practically radiating off of her, but Kingsley ignored her entirely. He pulled out his phone again and made another call.
“Marvin, I’ve got Kenny Rhodes’ son, Michael, right here. He’s not dead yet, but he’s really close. Blumedale is about to get noisy-Kenny and the Golding family won’t just sit still after this. Get ready on your end.”
On the other end of the line, Marvin let out a low chuckle. “Well, well, well. Finally, you’re acting like a real beast, Mr. Baldwin. Honestly, I was dying for you to let loose already.
“Figures-it always takes a woman to get a man to really go all in. I have to say, I like this Lauren girl. Mr. Baldwin, don’t even stress. Kenny? That little worm? I could squash him in my sleep. The Golding family, though… that’s gonna be a bit of a hassle.
“But hey, back in the day, we fought our way out of Chetvine. Do you think some
Gabo Creek goons are gonna stop us now? Hah!”
Marvin burst into laughter before hanging up, sounding absolutely thrilled about the chaos Kingsley had just unleashed. Even though Kingsley had just stirred up a storm that reached Blumedale’s most powerful families, Marvin showed zero signs ofpanic.
If anything, he was more excited than Kingsley, as if he lived for this kind of madness.
Kingsley felt like his head was about to explode. Was there anyone around him who was not completely insane?
Tiana scoffed, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Well, at least you had the decency to warn Marvin ahead of time so he could prepare. But it won’t make a difference. Against the Golding family, one of the Five Apex Families, Marvin won’t even have the right to speak-he’ll just be forced to smile and nod.
“And if Marvin dares to say even one wrong word? He’ll end up dead too. So no one can help you, Kingsley. You have no way out but to run for your life while you still can!”
Tiana had only heard Kingsley’s side of the phone call with Marvin. If she had actually heard Marvin’s response, she probably would not have said any of this. Instead, her eyes would have widened in sheer disbelief, thinking that Kingsley and Marvin were both lunatics.
At that moment, Dylan arrived at Rhodes Corporation with his men. Kingsley did not waste time with explanations-he simply motioned for them to take Michael away.
Tiana immediately stepped in front of them. “Kingsley, you can’t take him! If you do, how am I supposed to explain this to Kenny?”
Kingsley’s voice remained calm. “You don’t need to explain anything. Just tell him his son is in my hands.”
Tiana’s fury boiled over. “You arrogant little bastard! Do you really intend to keep digging your own grave? Do you have any idea what you’re doing?! You’re throwing away your life!”
Her tone was a mix of frustration and disbelief, as if she could not understand how someone could be so stubbornly suicidal.
Kingsley smirked, unbothered. “Mrs. Rhodes, should I take that as a show of concern?”
Tiana grabbed him by the collar, her expression ice-cold as she pulled him close. She hissed, “Kingsley, this isn’t a joke. Yes, I do admire you. I don’t want to see you get completely destroyed by the Golding family.
“But if you keep being this reckless, you’re pushing yourself beyond the point of no return. And once you cross that line, death is the only thing waiting for you.”
Kingsley let out a short, dismissive laugh. “I’m gonna say something you might not like, Mrs. Rhodes-Kenny and the Golding family? They mean nothing to me. I said before that Michael wouldn’t be leaving Jayrodale alive, and I meant it.”
Tiana was practically shaking with fury. “Fine! Then let’s see how your arrogance destroys you!”
She had never met someone so outrageously insane. He actually dared to brush off the Golding family like they were nothing. To her,
Kingsley was not just being reckless-he was begging for death.
Kingsley had nothing more to say. He simply gestured for Dylan to take Michael away before turning and walking out of Rhodes Corporation himself.
The moment he stepped outside, Tiana’s phone rang-it was Kenny. She exhaled sharply before answering.
“Tiana, where the hell is Michael?” Kenny’s furious voice roared through the speaker. “If anything happens to him, you know I’ll destroy your entire family!”
His rage was like a thunderstorm, violent and uncontrollable.
Tiana’s voice remained cold. “Kenny, you aren’t the family head yet. I suggest you watch your tone when you speak to me.”
Kenny nearly exploded. “Don’t give me that bullshit! I’m asking you-where the hell is Michael? And that bastard Kingsley-tell him. I’m coming for his life! He better pray for a quick death!”
Tiana hesitated, wondering if she should tell him the truth. If she did not, Kenny would likely turn his fury toward Jameson, or worse, come straight to Jayrodale himself.
Either way, it would end in disaster. She took a deep breath and silently muttered, ‘Kingsley, don’t blame me for this.’
She exhaled slowly before answering Kenny, “Michael is missing. Kingsley took him, and I don’t know if he’s dead or alive.”
Tiana hung up the phone without hesitation. She did not need to think twice to know that Kenny would definitely be coming after Kingsley now. After all, his only son was in Kingsley’s hands, barely clinging to life. If Kenny did not retaliate, pigs would surely start flying.
Tiana let out a cold sneer and muttered, “That reckless idiot… he could’ve been a diamond in the rough, but instead, he’s throwing himself into the fire.
“His arrogance, his overinflated sense of confidence-it’s all just a show, isn’t it? He’s trying to prove to me that he’s worthy of Lauren. Hah! What a joke. Instead, he’s dug his own grave.”
The more she thought about Kingsley’s blatant defiance, the angrier she became. To her, all of this was his way of trying to show off his strength in front of her. Then again, what was the point?
Joe did not even have to lift a finger, and people would naturally bow before him, recognizing him as a king among men. Meanwhile, no matter how much Kingsley fought or how much noise he made, he was speeding toward a dead end.
Tiana scoffed, shaking her head. His fate was beyond ironic. After a moment of thought, she picked up her phone and called Marvin.
She said coldly, “Marvin, Kenny is about to deal with your so-called ‘masterpiece’-Kingsley. I’m just letting you know, out of courtesy. I figured I owed you that much for old times’ sake. But as for Kingsley’s fate? That’s out of my hands.”
She had expected Marvin to either thank her for the warning or react with anger and panic. Instead, what she got was laughter-a calm, amused chuckle.
“That’s it?” Marvin replied, sounding unbothered. “Hah. Sounds great.”
Tiana blinked, thinking she must have misheard him. She let out a laugh of disbelief. “Marvin, are you deaf, or just stupid? Kingsley is about to die, and you think it’s great?”
Marvin chuckled again. “Yeah, I do. Mostly because I don’t think Kingsley is actually in any real danger. Kenny? Please. He’s not even worth my time.”
Tiana’s voice turned icy. “That’s only because you have money. But Kenny has the Golding family behind him-they’re his in-laws. And knowing that power-hungry mongrel, he’ll definitely call on them to deal with Kingsley.
“And when that happens, you’ll either step up and get yourself destroyed alongside him, or you’ll stay quiet and watch him die.”
Marvin let out a low whistle. “Ah, the Golding family. One of Blumedale’s Five Apex Families. Yeah, I suppose they could be a bit of a headache.”
Tiana smirked. “So, are you finally starting to panic?”
Marvin yawned. “Nah. I just said they’re a headache-I never said I was worried. In fact, already picked out the funeral music.”
Tiana let out a mocking laugh. “What, you’re already mourning Kingsley? At least you’ve got some foresight.”
Marvin chuckled again. “No, no. The music is for the Golding family. If they want to march into Jayrodale, they might as well do it to their own requiem.”
Tiana’s eyes widened, her mind struggling to process what she had just heard.
Kingsley was already insane, but Marvin Marvin was just as bad.
The thought of the Golding family coming after them must have finally broken him-there was no other way to explain how he could other way something so suicidal.
At that moment, over in Blumedale, Kenny was on the verge of exploding. “That little bastard! If I don’t skin him alive, I don’t deserve my last name!”
Inside the villa on his private lake estate, Kenny was so enraged that he grabbed a crystal tea set from the table and smashed it into a thousand pieces.
The housekeepers nearby trembled in fear, their heads lowered, barely daring to breathe. That tea set was not just any tea set-it was a gift from the Golding family, worth millions of dollars.
Yet, he had shattered it without a second thought. That was how furious he was.
A low, chilling laugh suddenly echoed through the room. “Well, well, Mr. Rhodes. Quite the temper you have there. Why don’t you let me take care of this problem for you?”
A tall man in black stepped into the villa. He had a single eye, the other covered by a dark leather eyepatch.
His remaining eye was sharp and predatory, piercing like a hawk’s, making it impossible to meet his gaze without feeling a deep sense of unease.
Kenny turned around, his face lighting up with relief.
“Phantom Eye, you’re finally here!” he said, his tone eager. “I have one simple request-head to Jayrodale immediately and bring my son Michael back to Blumedale.”
Phantom Eye let out a dry chuckle. “That’s it? That’s all you need?”
Kenny’s expression twisted into something far more sinister. He snarled, “Of course not! Not only do I want you to bring Michael back, but I want you to tear Kingsley apart-limb by limb. I assume that’s not too difficult for you?”
Phantom Eye scoffed. “Kenny, do you realize how insulting that request is? You’re asking me to personally step into some backwater dump like Jayrodale? That’s already beneath me. Ifit weren’t for my ties to the Golding family, I wouldn’t even entertain your request. As for cutting down some nobody? It’s not a matter of difficulty-it’s just… boring.”
Kenny forced a smile. “Of course, I’d never question your strength-you are ranked on the Underworld Index, after all. Taking out a punk like Kingsley is nothing to you.”
Phantom Eye let out a low, disinterested grunt. “You do understand that my services don’t come cheap, right? Also, your daughter married into the Golding family. You have them as your allies, yet instead of calling on their power, you came to me. Why?”
Kenny shook his head. “No, no-you misunderstand. The Golding family may be my in-laws, but that’s exactly why I don’t want to call in a favor from them. They’re my trump card, my ace up my sleeve. I can’t waste that on something trivial. As long as you handle this, I won’t have to trouble them.”
Phantom Eye nodded approvingly. “Smart. You actually understand how to preserve your resources. Instead of relying too much on the Golding family, you’re keeping them in your back pocket for something bigger.
“You’re right-if I go to Jayrodale personally, Michael will be fine. That is if he survives long enough for me to get there. If he’s already dead by the time I arrive, well… that’s not my problem.”
Kenny’s face darkened. He clenched his fists, slamming them down onto the table as he growled, “That bastard Kingsley had Michael captured and even made sure Tiana called to inform me. He wants something from me-he’s stalling. That means my son is still alive.”
Phantom Eye tilted his head slightly, his single eye gleaming with amusement. He asked, “So what about Tiana? Want me to take her out too? Honestly, I’ve had my eye on her for a while. I wouldn’t mind having a little fun with her first before finishing her off.”
Kenny quickly waved a hand. “Tiana’s not an easy target. Forget about her for now just focus on getting Michael back. We’ll deal with her later.”
