Chapter 107
Luna was really afraid of being imprisoned by West for the rest of her life and that he would still refuse to let her go even if he grew tired of
her in the future.
West slowly came to a stop. After a moment of silence, he said softly, “Until I’m bored.”
He thought, ‘After all, she’s a woman I once had feelings for. It’s indeed quite enjoyable when I have fun with her. I’m not sure when I’ll get bored, but I’m absolutely certain of one thing. I will never marry her in this lifetime. When I was young back then, I didn’t think things through. I always thought that if I loved her, I had to make her mine. Now that I hold a high position, there are many constraints. Even if she’s willing to get married to me, I won’t marry her. The arrangement of keeping her as a mistress is quite good. IfI get tired of her, I can just dump
her.
Luna slumped onto the bed after hearing that. She thought, ‘Until he is bored? Does he know what price I have to pay for his words? Men are indeed fickle. When they love you, they treat you like a piece of treasure, but once they fall out of love, you are like a blade of grass that can be trampled upon as he pleases!
While she was in a daze, West had already dressed neatly and walked out of the dressing room.
Draped in a black coat, he once again became the figure that instilled fear in both the underworld and the law–abiding society.
“Remember to take the contraceptive pills,” he said as he headed outside.
Watching his indifferent figure recede, Luna’s eyes gradually welled up with tears.
She thought, ‘Is it really because of me that he has become so cold and heartless?‘
In the suburban farmhouse, after receiving the news of West’s mobilization of manpower to capture him, Jonas slapped Lucas hard across
the face.
He thought, ‘Who is West? He’s the most influential man in Vayberry. Plus, he controls two–thirds of the underground power in Rathland, instilling fear in many people just by hearing his name. This time, I quietly infiltrate Vayberry and deliberately hide my whereabouts just to. avoid letting West know of my arrival. Even more so, I don’t want to meet him. But now…
“Idiot, why didn’t you tell me that West’s sister is good friends with the woman in the room?” he said. “Are you trying to put me in deep shit?”
Lucas looked bewildered.
He thought, ‘West’s sister? Good friend? I’ve heard of West. He’s well–known in the underworld, and even someone like Jonas won’t dare to confront him head–on. But who is West’s sister?”
He then involuntarily thought of Luna, who was Sophia’s only friend in Cester City
“They are both surnamed Baker, he thought. Could it be…
“I, I’m not sure either,” he said. “They never told me what connection Luna has with the Baker family in Vayberry.”
Jonas was furious and slapped him twice again.
He thought, I came to Vayberry this time hainly to kidnap Jason’s wife and ayenge the deep hatred of the past. Never did I expect that Jason wouldn’t take the bait. Instead, I’ve provoked West, the kingpin of Vayberry. If tall into his hands, I’ll probably die. The Baker family already holds most of the power domestically, leaving little room for further expansion. In the last two years, West has had subtle plans to expand into Travos. As a giant in Travos, I come to his tur. If this is not looking for trouble, then what is it?”

Chapter 107
“Oh no, Jonas. West is coming this way with his men in a helicopter. If we don’t leave now, I’m afraid they’ll suffocate us here.”
A bodyguard’s anxious report from outside brought Jonas’s wandering thoughts back to the present.
He could not be bothered to settle scores with Lucas. He strode into the room and dragged Sophia out by her collar.
“Bitch, I hope you are of some use,” he said. “Otherwise, I’ll smash your head.”
that said, he called a few subordinates to come over and held Sophia hostage as they walked toward the outside.

Naturally, Lucas would not foolishly follow them. After all, he was the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Sophia. If West caught him, he wouldn’t have a good end.
While the few of them were walking out of the courtyard, he quietly moved two steps backward and moved along the wall toward the back door, preparing to sneak away.
He finally moved to the door. Hope was right in front of him, but he was spotted by one of Jonas’s sharp–eyed subordinates.
“Jonas, that guy surnamed Taylor wants to run off,” the subordinate said.
Jonas suddenly turned around. Seeing Lucas trying to flee, he fired a shot at his back right away.
