A King Reborn in Shadows - Season 1 Episode 13

“Can’t deny it, dressing up nicely and speaking politely does make her look a bit more feminine!”

Flynn thought to himself as he lay back down on the bed.

Knowing Layla’s personality, if he were to open the door, she would surely mistake him for a thief.

To avoid trouble, Flynn simply ignored her.

Seeing no response from him, Layla slipped her business card through the crack in the door and whispered,

“I admire you very much and would like to be friends with you.”

“This is my business card. If you have time, please give me a call.”

After saying this, she turned around and left with an excited expression on her face.

“I kept talking but Cruz didn’t refuse me. It means he still wants to be friends with me.”

“Well of course! With my unparalleled medical skills and stunning looks, even the legendary General wouldn’t want to miss this opportunity.”

After Layla left, Flynn felt agitated. He changed into his workout clothes and decided to go for a walk down the mountain.

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, his mood became even more irritated when he saw Layla’s Ferrari parked there.

At that moment, Layla had just retrieved her car from Plenilune Mountain’s parking lot when she ran into Flynn who was wandering around.

She rolled down the car window and glanced at Plenilune Mountain Villa, raising an eyebrow. “Do you like it here?”

“What’s it to you?” Flynn was annoyed just seeing her.

Layla laughed, “The lowest price for a villa here is 30 million, and Thodell Mansion on the mountaintop is worth 300 million!”

“It’s good to have dreams but know your place. Don’t wander around here feeling inferior.”

“Be practical and live with Madeline. Find a job and work hard!”

“I gave you two chances to do me a favor after ruining my marriage. If you need help standing firm in the Kaur family, come find me.”

“You pitying me?” Flynn frowned coldly and said, “Listen up! Don’t talk about Madeline. If I want to, I can make you wash up and lie down obediently too.”

“I’m just not interested in you.”

“Stop being so ridiculous with your confidence. Whether or not I’m doing well has nothing to do with you!” After saying this, Flynn left without looking back.

“How dare you speak of my miss that way? You bastard! Stop and apologize!” Kimber immediately shouted angrily.

“Forget it,” Layla said lightly. “Let him vent his incompetence. After all, I ruined our marriage first.”

“I’ve said it before: Flynn’s birth was a mistake – he’ll die unknown like an ant.”

“Quite pitiful, let’s help if we can…”

Flynn wandered around for a while before returning to Thodell Mansion and soon fell asleep. The next day, he didn’t go anywhere and spent his time practicing drawing and martial arts at home, feeling much better.

In the afternoon, Flynn received a call from Paulina and his face darkened once again.

“Flynn, Madeline went to Chateau Hotel to apologize to Mr. Read for you.”

“If you have any conscience left in you, go there quickly and don’t let her bear the brunt of your mistake!”

“Don’t be a coward who only knows how to run away when things get tough…”

Flynn hung up the phone with a cold expression on his face and took out four coffin nails from his bag before heading towards Chateau Hotel.

As soon as Flynn arrived at Chateau Hotel, Kimber saw him and sneered, “Oh! Why so glum? Are you here to mooch off the Kaur family? They didn’t invite you!”

“Just what use is it for you to come after us with your tail between your legs?”

“This is Myriad Dragon Merchant Guild’s welcoming banquet for Mr. Kennedy’s release from prison. You need an invitation card to enter!”

Flynn frowned slightly, wondering why they were making such a big deal out of Orion getting released from prison.

“Forget it.” Kimber found Flynn uninteresting since he remained silent, “I’ll take pity on you this time. Come in with me.”

The hall was packed with over a hundred tables, each filled with Niarak’s elite. The entire venue was adorned in luxury, reminiscent of a high-end fashion show. Men in suits and women exuding elegance mingled and laughed together.

At the forefront of the room were two round tables where the ten wealthiest families of Niarak sat, emanating an air of superiority that made them seem untouchable. Layla sat among them, occupying one of the adjacent seats.

Kimber led Flynn to a table tucked away in the corner and sneered, “This is where the Kaur family sits.”

“Madeline went upstairs with another girl. You stay here and don’t go anywhere,” Kimber warned Flynn sternly. “And don’t even think about trying to hit on Miss Woods up front! You can’t afford to lose face!”

With that said, Kimber walked away quickly as if she might throw up just from looking at Flynn for too long.

Flynn gave Kimber a sidelong glance and then went upstairs.

At this moment, inside an office on the second floor.

Madeline and Scarlet were sitting on the sofa, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

Olivier, the Chief Financial Officer of Myriad Dragon Merchant Guild, was seated opposite to them, his gaze shifting between the two women. He couldn’t help but feel astonished.

Madeline truly lived up to her ranking as one of the top three beauties in Niarak. She was stunning!

“Hmm,” Olivier thought, “the girl next to her is even prettier. She looks about twenty years old, maybe still a virgin!”

The thought made Olivier’s desire burn hotter, and he struggled to control his impulses.

Today Madeline wore a black and white casual outfit that was exquisitely tailored. The round neckline revealed her beautiful collarbone. Her gray skirt paired with silk stockings perfectly accentuated her long legs. With hair pulled high on top of her head, she had a face that looked like it had been carved by an artist – cold and elegant.

Scarlet wore a vintage school uniform with delicate lace accents that highlighted her fair and slender legs with their perfect curves.

She had no extra adornments, and her hair naturally fell down, brushing against her ears.

Her beautiful eyes, due to nervousness, shimmered with a play of emotions, making her look innocent and adorable.

One woman was an elegant lady while the other was a loli.

Olivier’s lips curled into a smile.

“Mr. Read,” Madeline said cheerfully, “I’m terribly sorry about what happened at the boxing gym.”

“Please forgive me for my mistake,” she apologized sincerely. “And please pay back the 4 million debt as soon as possible.”

Scarlet forced a smile that looked unnatural.

Olivier raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “Miss Kaur, you came with sincerity, so I must give you a chance.”

“But just apologizing isn’t enough,” he continued.

Madeline’s face lit up and she quickly replied, “As long as it’s within my abilities, you can name your conditions!”

He smiled slightly and leaned back in his chair. Pointing to his waist, he said, “Come over here and undo my belt.”

Then turning to Scarlet, he said, “Stand next to me and lift up your skirt.”

“What?!” Madeline’s face turned pale as she trembled while speaking.

“Mr. Kaur, you don’t want this opportunity?” Olivier frowned deeply.

Scarlet also stepped back in panic saying, “Mr. Read, please don’t ask for this condition! Anything else is fine but not this!”

“Not okay?” Olivier furrowed his brow even more deeply and spoke sternly, “You’re saying you don’t want this opportunity?”

Madeline’s legs shook as she spoke in a barely audible voice, “I do want the opportunity but… this condition is too much for me…”

“Too much for you? But you just said that anything within your abilities was fine,” Olivier retorted coldly.

“You two just need to enjoy yourselves,” Olivier smirked as he stood up and walked over to Madeline, staring at her legs. “I guarantee you’ll be satisfied…”

Not only would he get two beautiful women, but he could also humiliate Flynn a bit. Just thinking about it was exciting!

With that in mind, his hand reached for the hem of Madeline’s skirt and lifted it up.

Olivier grinned wickedly, but before he could touch her cool skin, Madeline instinctively slapped him across the face.

Smack!

After that slap landed, all three people in the office were stunned.

Rubbing his burning cheek with his hand, Olivier’s eyes turned cold as he raised his hand to strike back hard.

“You bitch! You had your chance and you still dared to hit me!”

Madeline fell onto the sofa after being slapped.

Seeing this only made Olivier more excited; he wanted to take care of these sisters quickly before Orion arrived!

“Don’t do it! Sis, run!” Scarlet grabbed onto Olivier and shouted loudly.

“Oh? There’s another little girl here too. Alright then… I can use you first.” With a wicked grin on his face, Olivier pounced towards Scarlet.

Just as he was about to reach her though, the door suddenly burst open and a figure rushed in. He grabbed Scarlet by the waist and spun around once before pulling her behind him.

Continuing to take a step forward, he delivered a heavy kick to Olivier’s abdomen.

Olivier’s body folded in mid-air and flew five meters, resembling a shrimp.

With a sudden bang, he heavily knelt on the ground and slid several meters on his knees before stopping.

“Which hand?”

Flynn saw tears streaming down the faces of Madeline and Scarlet, and a fierce look on his face. He quickly walked over to Olivier and asked.

“Bastard…”

Olivier was kicked so hard that he felt his insides twist, grimacing in pain and wanting to curse.

“I asked you which hand touched them!”

Flynn didn’t give him a chance to curse; he grabbed his hair and pulled him to the table, then took out a coffin nail and smashed it towards his right hand!

Bang!

The coffin nail pierced through the table, impaling Olivier’s right hand, causing blood to splatter and his skin to tear apart.

“Ah! My hand! You damn thing, you’re finished, your whole family will die out!” Olivier screamed in pain, his entire body convulsing.

Madeline was suddenly shocked and exclaimed to Flynn, “You have caused a big trouble, I am not joking. You need to run away from Niarak quickly, hurry up and run!”

“Shut up!” Flynn shouted angrily, and Madeline immediately became obedient, but her face became even more frightened.

During those years, who didn’t encounter tough guys on Demon Island?

Flynn didn’t even furrow his brow. To him, this was like a fly buzzing around in front of him – he could easily swat it away.

Scarlet didn’t react much either. In fact, she felt a strange sense of security after Flynn had wrapped his arm around her waist earlier. It made her heart flutter.

“Apologize?” Olivier sneered and spat out some blood. “He hit me at the Myriad Dragon Merchant Guild. Not only did he hit my face, but he also hit the faces of everyone there!”

“Even if Jesus came today, he wouldn’t be able to save you!”

“Kid, if you have any guts, take me to the hall and watch as I skin you alive!”

Olivier struggled to stand up and looked at Flynn with a sinister gaze as if he were looking at someone already dead.

Smack!

“Oh?” Flynn remained calm inside and casually slapped Olivier across the face so hard that three teeth flew out of his mouth.

“Not bad! I really want to see what happens when someone hits Myriad Dragon Merchant Guild’s face!”
