Chapter 1: The Beginning of a Fateful Encounter

    Traffic was jammed again.


    Ethaniel was driving towards the Seatowne North District Exhibition Center. His cold, violet eyes nced at the endless line of cars ahead, and he slightly furrowed his brow.


    His slender fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel as he waited patiently for a few minutes, but the traffic showed no signs of moving.


    The phone rang inside the car. After answering, a woman’s soft voice came through, “Sir, this is Linda. There are forty-five minutes left until the meeting starts. Please arrive at the venue as soon as possible.”


    “Sure.” The man elegantly hung up his Bluetooth earpiece and nced indifferently at the traffic ahead.


    Ethaniel started the car, sharply turning the wheel to maneuver through a narrow gap between the cars.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    The high-performance car sped onto the roadside grass, quickly turning into a nearby alley. After passing through the alley, he reached No. 3 Ring Road, where the traffic was lighter-this was the only way to make it to the exhibition center on time.


    However, as soon as his car entered No. 3 Ring Road, it was forced to stop by a pile of wreckage.


    Several cars that looked totaled were blocking the road, and scattered on the ground were clothes, sticks, and even shell casings…


    Ethaniel’s car halted in front of the wreckage. His indifferent gaze swept over the scene; It seems that Seatowne’s safety wasn’t as reputed as it was supposed to be.


    He pursed his lips and was about to find another route when a police car suddenly appeared in his rearview mirror.


    And it wasing at a high speed!


    Screech-bang!


    The police car braked hard about ten meters away, skidding to a stop next to his car, and very rudely bumped into his rear end!


    In the police car sat Ka, the deputy chief of the Major Crimes Unit. She had deliberately crashed into the sports car in front of her!


    —


    Just ten minutes ago, while Ka was deploying security at the convention center, she received a dispatch notice from headquarters.


    “Urgent notice: A small group is engaging in a brawl on No. 3 Ring Road. All nearby units, please respond immediately to stop them!”


    “Roger that!” A clear voice transmitted through the radio to the headquarters. “Deputy Chief Ka of the North District Major Crimes Unit is on her way to assist!”


    In the rearview mirror, a clear and delicate face appeared, very beautiful, with bright and spirited eyes. Her small face was filled with seriousness and determination. Despite her delicate appearance, she was known as the “Violence Machine,” often using excessive force during missions.


    Upon hearing the response, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the radio before a sudden scream, “Wait! Ka! No, you can’t go!”


    It was just a brawl, but if Ka, the Violence Machine, got involved, things might escte. At this crucial time, they couldn’t afford any trouble!


    “Why?” Ka’s spirited and beautiful face was full of confusion.


    “… Uh, your main task today is to maintain the safety of the conference center and ensure the smooth running of the international financial conference. It’s better if you don’t leave.”


    Yes , The international financial conference, held only once every three years, was taking ce in Seatowne this year!


    Moreover,  the usually mysterious and low-profile Lacroix Family had surprisingly epted the invitation and sent the Chairman and CEO of Goldenshore Group to discuss cooperation.


    If the cooperation is sessful, Goldenshore Group will invest billions annually, holding shares in various well-known enterprises, providing significant economic support to the Estrica region.


    Therefore, this CEO was not only the highlight of the entire international financial conference but also the economic powerhouse for the entire Seatowne and even the Estrica region!


    To ensure the safety of this mysterious big boss, Seatowne was on high alert, with security forces surrounding the conference center tightly, making it impossible for even a fly to get in.


    However, Ka was clearly more interested in catching criminals than in the dull task of protecting some mysterious boss.


    “I have no interest in protecting rich people. My duty is to catch criminals, not to act as a bodyguard for the wealthy!” With that, she hung up the radio and stepped on the gas.


    Ka, with one hand on the steering wheel, ced the siren on the roof, ignored the traffic lights and the traffic police, and sped through the city at nearly 120 km/h.


    Daring to brawl in the North District?


    Alright, I’ll make you cry and repent right away!


    In the meeting room of the North District Major Crimes Unit in Seatowne, the person who had been hung up on stood in a daze, stiffly turned his neck to look at the captain’s not-so-happy face.


    “Ka went to No. 3 Ring Road…”


    “What?” Ka’s direct superior, Mick, stared wide-eyed. “Doesn’t she understand the importance of today and the fact that many financial bigwigs areing?” How could she act without authorization!”


    “She said her duty is to catch criminals, not… not to be a bodyguard for rich people…”


    Mick’s face turned pale with anger, and he gritted his teeth, shouting, “Ka! You better note back!”


    The roar was so loud that it shattered the fish tank on the police chief’s desk upstairs.


    The poor fish flopped around, opening and closing its mouth. The slightly overweight chief calmly picked up his ss, scooped up the fish, and put it into the ss. He also called someone to clean up the broken fish tank.


    Since Ka joined the North District Police Station four years ago, the fish tanks on his desk had been breaking at an rming rate-today’s incident brought the count to eighty-eight.
