Theo tossed the slippers onto the floor and slipped them on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKingston\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room was quiet for a split second. Then, a scream tore through it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAh!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston didn\u2019t even change his expression. He lifted his foot and stepped on the man\u2019s hand, grinding down slowly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me. Who contacted you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man fought through the pain and forced out the words, \u201cIt was Mr. Kingston Howard-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t get to finish. The pain cut him off again, and a muffled groan ripped from his throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston lifted his foot and glanced at the hand on the floor, the finger joints already twisted out of place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He raised a brow and spoke lightly. \u201cWhat? I didn\u2019t catch that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man on the floor had gone deathly pale. The pain in his fingers was vicious, drilling straight into his bones. He couldn\u2019t even struggle anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Howard\u2026 won\u2019t let you get away with this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He still tried to act tough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A cold smile tugged at Kingston\u2019s lips. He drove his foot into the man\u2019s chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s breathing seized. He lay there for a long moment before he finally managed to drag in a breath. The moment he did, Theo added another kick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man almost passed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he finally recovered a little, Theo kicked him again, then again, each one heavier than\u00a0<\/p>\n
the last.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll talk. I-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t take it anymore. He started to beg.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Theo didn\u2019t let him. He kicked him straight in the mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou had your chance to talk, but you chose to be stubborn. Now, I want to see how tough that mouth really is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston watched from the side and didn\u2019t stop him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The others were sprawled on the floor, shaking, doing everything they could to make themselves invisible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston walked toward one of them. The man yanked his hand back in a panic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Kingston even asked, he blurted it out. \u201cIt was Mr. Mercer. He paid us. He told us to\u00a0<\/p>\n
teach this woman a lesson. He even set up a route for us to run to the neighboring country.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston turned his head and glanced at Vivian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian took a deep breath. Her face tightened. \u201cWhich Mr. Mercer are you talking about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She already knew the answer, but she still asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cZane Mercer. It was Zane Mercer. He\u2019s had us do this kind of thing before. That was three years ago, and it didn\u2019t cause any problems. So, when he came to us again this time, we agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vivian\u2019s eyes went cold. She wasn\u2019t happy that she\u2019d guessed right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t expected Logan to take Zane\u2019s advice and\u00a0<\/p>\n
Three\u00a0<\/p>\n
go\u00a0<\/p>\n
this far.\u00a0<\/p>\n
years ago, right before Zane\u2019s wedding, something happened to his wife, Leah Shaw.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, Zane had been out drinking with Logan and the others. Leah had called him again and again for help, but Zane ignored every single call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was why Vivian had told Logan to stay away from Zane.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After that incident, Leah barely showed her face anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In recent years, her parents\u2018 business had taken a hit. In the end, they handed everything over\u00a0<\/p>\n
to Zane and stayed by their daughter\u2019s side after what she\u2019d been through.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Zane took over, he spent his days partying and running after women. Leah and her parents had no choice but to look the other way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Leah\u2019s father, Victor Shaw, ruled Baymoor\u2019s underworld. He couldn\u2019t just watch his daughter suffer through a marriage like that and let Zane do whatever he wanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That day, when Zane was giving Logan suggestions, he accidentally let something slip. Vivian overheard it and kept it in mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zane shared his \u201csuccessful\u201d playbook with Logan. So, Logan wanted to use the same method to control Vivian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whatever affection there\u2019d once been between Vivian and Logan was long gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
