BuzzNovelChapter 1165: Just then, his phone buzzed—a message from the Bennett family. Everything was set. All that was left was for him to bring Daniela to the hotel. Nikolas smirked.
"What are you laughing at?" Cedric snapped, catching the icy amusement flickering across Nikolas' face.
"Was I?" Nikolas asked, feigning innocence.
Cedric's gaze turned sharp as a blade. "If I were you, I wouldn't do anything reckless." First Daniela, now Cedric? Nikolas clenched his jaw, irritation bubbling beneath the surface.

"You're in Olisvine now. Stir up trouble here, and don't expect your people in Oiscoll to save your ass." Nikolas stiffened, caught off guard.
Maybe it was because he'd grown used to Cedric's gentle smiles around Daniela, but this side of him? It was unsettling.
Without another word, Cedric grabbed a fruit knife from the table and strode toward the kitchen.
Nikolas shut his eyes, exhaling sharply.

Ghost peered through the vast floor-to-ceiling window, scanning the interior.
His brows knitted together in a deep frown.
"Who's the target? The man or the woman?" he asked.
To Nikolas, it didn't matter.
Without hesitation, he ordered, "Take them both out." Ghost shook his head. "I won't do it."
Nikolas froze, momentarily speechless. Then, after a beat, he let out a sharplaugh.

"What?" Nikolas' amusement vanished. "You can't be serious. Don't mess with me. They're nothing to you-taking them down should be En effortless. Look at the woman. Her arms are so thin. The man might be tough, but you could still take them both easily." Ghost's voice remained steady. "The man, I can kill. The woman-I won't."
