Chapter 199: Bring It On

When they got home, the old maid Susan and Ivanka were really happy to see Irina come home safely. Mrs. Susan quickly cooked while Ivanka couldn't stop crying in her sister's arms.

After dinner and shower, Irina went into her room. Ryan then followed her.

After turning off the lights, the two of them just lay on the bed. Ryan grabbed Irina's little hand from under the blanket. However, he realized that Irina couldn't stop shaking.

"Honey, are you still afraid?" Ryan asked softly.

Irina nodded. She opened her mouth but said nothing. The reason that Ryan was so confident against the Kruger was because he had absolutely no idea how powerful that one aristocratic family was. The influence of the Kruger family was simply too terrifying, an ordinary person simply couldn't understand this.

Though the Kruger was silent and Ryan had an elder helping him in Batavia at that time, the problem this time was really too serious. To kill one of their descendants was tantamount to igniting the flames of war. If the Kruger family decided to kill Ryan, they would use all their strength to make sure he ended up being killed.

Irina had no confidence that this matter would be resolved peacefully.

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked, hugging Irina.

Feeling the warmth from Ryan's body, Irina felt herself better and calmer. After nodding slowly, Irina returned Ryan's hug.

Tonight, Irina fell asleep in Ryan's warm embrace.

...... 

The next day...

Since yesterday's incident was too frightening and drained her energy, Irina was really fast asleep.

Ryan woke up first and kissed Irina on her forehead. While being careful not to wake her up, Ryan came out of the room and went downstairs.

"Morning, Ryan." Seeing Ryan coming down, Mrs. Susan greeted him with a smile. 

She had blessed the young lady's relationship with the man. It seemed that Ryan had a power that couldn't be explained by logic, which also explained why he could be reliable in any situation.

"What did you cook this morning?" Ryan asked with a smile. "I'm so hungry,"

"Don't worry, I cooked a lot today," Mrs. Susan said with a smile. "I hope you like the chicken burrito and vegetable soup I've made for you,"

Hearing this breakfast menu, Ryan couldn't stop drooling. After last night's incident, his physical and mental energy was completely drained.

Sitting at the dinner table, it's already 8 o'clock in the morning. Apart from Ryan and Mrs. Susan, Ivanka and Irina were not yet awake. Ivanka seemed as exhausted as her sister and woke up late.

At this time, the front fence of the house suddenly opened. Ryan immediately shifted his gaze and felt familiar towards the guests. Several people clad in a somewhat unique attires and looked exactly like those he had beaten up in Batavia had come.

'The Kruger family?'

Ryan frowned and realized that these people were about to barge in. When the subordinates of the Kruger family were about to enter, their steps suddenly went into a halt at the same time.

"No one shall enter this house," Ryan said in a cold tone, he then took one step forward. His footsteps were completely steady, making his opponent take a step back.

The situation was entering a stalemate, the two sides showed no signs of attacking. When the messengers stared at the wall, Ryan said in a cold tone, "Are you looking for me?"

Their faces became gloomy, one of them then answered, "Did you kill our young master last night?"

"So you guys are the cursed child's bodyguards?" Ryan said, glaring at them.

"We are the direct subordinates of the Kruger family. If you kill a member of their family then this problem is bigger than you think," the person looked at Ryan. "I suggest you come to Batavia and confess what you did to the great master, or you will suffer the consequences!"

Ryan laughed a little, since when did the Kruger family have a sense of humor?

"What will happen if I come with you?" Ryan asked.

"Our great master will punish you."

"I think the punishment will be severe," Ryan snorted coldly. "Then, what will happen if I don't come with you?"

"Death is the only answer to those who offend the Kruger family!"

"Then the results are both dead, so why should I come with you? You guys are stupid," Ryan's face became serious. "I think you need brain surgery, your stupidity is beyond help. Not to mention that you have let your young master die. If I were you, I would definitely resign from the job,"

"You...!"

Some of them felt their blood boil. Meanwhile, Ryan just yawned. "Just tell your boss that all this incident is not my fault but the fault of his lecherous and immoral son. Next time you are looking for me, bring it outside. If you guys barge in again like this, I'll make sure you will crawl out of here,"

Hearing Ryan's insulting words, all of the Kruger family's men could not hold back. Some of them charged forward trying to catch Ryan!

But Ryan suddenly jumped and stretched out his hands. He managed to catch wrists. While squeezing them, Ryan swung the two men so that they looked like a tornado and let them fly and hit the ground hard.

"Get him!!!"

The leader of the group ordered his subordinates to attack.

Ryan managed to catch someone again and immediately crushed one of his legs so that he could not stand up for the rest of his life. After throwing him away, Ryan jumped and landed right in the middle of 3 people. He quickly hit their chests and kicked them away.

At the same time, Ryan avoided the surprise attack from behind him. It came from their leader and indeed it was different from the other subordinates. 

After dodging, Ryan threw a punch but it was eventually blocked. The leader caught it with both hands but he was pushed 10 steps backward, his strength was nothing with Ryan.

Before long, everyone was lying on the ground groaning in pain. Only Ryan and the group leader stood up.

"I'm not afraid of the Kruger family," Ryan glared at the leader. "I want you to return to where you came from and convey my message to your boss," 

"No matter how many people you send after me, I'll still kill them all!"

After the men sent by the Kruger family stumbled while dragging their legs back to their master's house, Ryan returned inside. At this time, Irina was walking downstairs.

"What's wrong?" Irina asked in a serious tone.

"Nothing, I just took a walk, getting a breath of fresh air," Ryan said with a smiling face. "Ah, Mrs. Susan, is breakfast ready? I'm really hungry," 

Irina was still a little curious when she sensed that Ryan was trying to change the topic, but she let it go.

After breakfast, Irina and Ryan went together to the office. Upon arrival, Ryan immediately went to his laboratory and continued to monitor the development and test the potion X's formula.

When he was alone, Ryan began to feel anxious. What happened last night was completely unexpected. He did not think that Gerard would suddenly return to this city and kidnap Irina again. His death was truly inevitable, even if he had to offend the Kruger family.

It was certain that the Krugers would not just let this away. Ryan's goal now was to heal himself so he could fight anytime and anywhere.

If it weren't for the mysterious power in his body, Ryan could bring out his full strength which earned him the nickname Nergal, the God of War of the 12 Aesirs.

Unfortunately, Ryan had only been fighting ants lately. If he met his fellow 12 Aesir Gods or was surrounded by more than 10 martial arts experts from the God list, also referring to his battle with the Eclipse's clone in his current state, it would definitely be a difficult battle for him.

Arriving at the laboratory, his team and Valerie were already working. Valerie was still a perfumer, but when Ryan decided that she needed to work on potion X, it automatically made Valerie follow him around. This also relieved Ryan a little.

What's more, Valerie's figure made him and the other boys unable to take their eyes off. The girl wore a tight short skirt and heels that accentuated her buttocks.

On her upper body, Valerie wore a transparent white shirt that vaguely showed her bra. She also put on make-up that was not too thick with bright red lipstick. But above all, her face was always decorated with a sweet smile that could make any men want to crush her.

Not to mention that her long, smooth legs covered in fishnet stockings were really tempting. It almost felt like 'teacher and student's' play would be a favorite for the boys in the laboratory.

Valerie then watched Ryan, she looked at her ideal man with a sweet gaze and a warm heart. She dressed a little bit boldly like this just for him so if he didn't like her then her effort would be useless.

"Valerie, please get me coffee," Ryan said.
