Chapter 19

After entering the office, I looked around at the decor and furnishings.

Everything before me had a high-end feel, with a kind of modern industrial aesthetic.

It didn't quite match Charles's usual style.

Seeming to notice my confusion, Charles explained, "Actually, Mr. Soren personally decided on the decoration of all the rooms here."

I was even more surprised. "This man really is..."

Halfway through, I shook my head.

Charles replied, "Even those of us who've been by Mr. Soren's side for years can be surprised by his decisions."

That one sentence moved the conversation along.

Thinking about it, he had a point.

If he didn't have some special abilities, Virio wouldn't have become the leader of this organization.

Following Charles, I heard interrogation sounds coming from a room.

Then came a man's gut-wrenching howl.

A moment later he went silent, and when I pushed open the door, I saw Virio sitting behind a desk.

In the center of the room was a tall wooden platform with a blood-soaked man hanging from it.

"This man is..." As I walked over, looking at the scene before me, I couldn't help but feel panicked.

Facing such bloody and terrifying things, I still felt afraid.

Virio waved me over, signaling me to come to his side, then led me out of the room.

Before leaving, he instructed Charles, "Deliver this man to Freya's bedroom door."

I froze for a moment, then realized this must be the hitman Freya had contacted.

So now, Virio's way of helping me get revenge was to place the hitman's body directly at Freya's bedroom door!

Just imagining that scene made me shudder.

If I had done this thing, then without a doubt, I would have been the one opening the bedroom door to find that corpse.

Charles seemed to know what I was thinking and glanced at me before leaving.

That bloody scene made me feel sick just imagining it.

Thinking about Virio using such methods to help me get revenge, I felt both touched and terrified.

In this bloody and cruel moment, I strongly realized that this man was the leader of this gang.

Actually, when I was alone with Virio before, I wouldn't think about his identity.

I would only feel a bit down because of the gap between us.

But now, thinking about Virio doing such things and still being able to bring me to his room without changing his expression, a feeling of sadness welled up in me.

If someday I did something wrong, perhaps what awaited me would be the same fate as Freya's?

After Virio brought me to a room, he closed the door and turned to look at me.

I didn't walk forward, but instead turned to face Virio.

Virio stared at me, seeing the complex expression on my face, and asked in a low voice, "What? Are you not satisfied with my solution?"

I quickly shook my head. "How could I not be satisfied? Freya hired a hitman to attack me, so everything you're doing now is protecting me."

Placing that corpse at Freya's bedroom door wasn't just a show of force, but also a warning.

It showed that Virio knew about all of Freya's little schemes.

To protect and defend me, Virio would spare no effort in making appropriate counterattacks.

So even if Freya wanted to get revenge on me again, she would probably think twice.

Thinking this, I walked forward and put my arms around Virio's neck. "Mr. Soren, everything you do surprises me, but how should I repay you?"

He took me to the underground fighting ring, letting me witness that extreme terror and competition.

That was the brutal reality.

I knew all of this was happening clearly in every corner of this city.

Even in my own home, there was intense conflict.

Thinking of this, I suddenly asked, "But if your people do this, my uncle will definitely find out who did it."

Then the conflict between the Soren family and the Lacey family would deepen!

Did Virio really not care about this at all?

Virio looked at me and said in a low voice, "I know you still need to stay at home to investigate many things. Don't worry, this matter won't involve you."

"How..."

I wanted to question him but fell silent.

In front of Virio, I'd better not show any doubt.

But Virio's voice was particularly gentle. "You need to stay with the Lacey family. My projects have already been cleaned up. Currently, Charles is handling them independently, so there's actually not much connection to the Soren family."

"As for you being one of my people, they've known that all along and have always been wary of me."

Even with this additional conflict, Killian and Freya might not be able to do anything.

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. "I understand."

It wasn't because this matter couldn't involve me that I felt relieved.

As long as I stayed at home, I could use my methods to investigate what happened back then.

The truth about my father would come to light sooner or later!

I had secretly cultivated a new subordinate at the company. Even without me saying it, Virio probably knew.

As I was thinking about these things, Virio suddenly moved closer dangerously, pressing me tightly against his chest.

Our bodies fit together perfectly. I could feel his taut muscles under his clothes and every change in his body.

This made my heart race.

Thinking about what happened that day, I suddenly understood what Virio wanted to do.

This wasn't our first time, but under the lights, I still seemed inexperienced.

My hand slowly caressed the back of his neck, then moved to his collarbone, my fingers sliding up and down his Adam's apple.

These small movements of mine undoubtedly made Virio very pleased.

A low, husky moan escaped from his throat as he said to me, "Elvira, I want to know what you're like when you take the initiative."

And I smiled slightly. "Since you put it that way, I'll certainly do my best to satisfy you."

With that, I pulled his hand and led him to the bed, then suddenly pushed with both hands, and Virio lay flat on the bed looking at me.

His face wore a smile.

As if he was very interested in what I was about to do.

And I suppressed my inner shyness, directly straddled him, sitting on his waist.

Then, right in front of him, I slowly took off my dress.

Then my underwear.

But I kept my stockings on. I held his waist and moved my body back and forth.

The temperature kept rising.

This time, looking into his eyes, what came to my mind was the madness and abandon of the previous two times.
