Top Notch War God

Chapter 93

Jensen typed the last word, adding a bunch of crying emojis at the end. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. Writing articles was exhausting, but considering how great this one turned out, it was all worth it. He opened his messaging app, found a contact named Pete Norman, and sent the folder over without hesitation.

Pete was from a small family in Philadelphia, running a shady business online by spreading rumors and posting negative content.

Usually, when the subjects of these posts got worried about their company's reputation, they'd reach out to Pete and offer to pay him to delete the news. Pete had a notorious reputation in Philadelphia, but he operated in legal gray areas, so no one could do much to stop him.

"Hey, Mr. Willis! This news is a good one!" Pete responded after a moment.

"It's so late; why are you still up?" Jensen's heart leaped when he saw the reply.

Pete quickly shot back. "Oh man, I'm stuck here, deleting news as usual. Mr. Willis, it's been a while since you last hit me up, and now you're dropping such a bombshell! Heh, what's the plan?"

"I need that post up on every major website and platform by tomorrow morning. Get it trending, push for more comments, and make sure it gets as much attention as possible. This time, I'm going to make sure Ariya becomes famous all over Philadelphia!" Jensen responded coldly.

"Mr. Willis, you're ruthless! Getting it trending by tomorrow morning will take some work. I'll have to get my whole team working overtime. As for the cost… well, since we're old friends, how about you give me $10,000?"

Pete, a shameless man with no moral compass, didn't care what kind of damage the photos would do to Ariya. He only cared about the money.

"Deal." Jensen pulled out his phone and wired Pete the $10,000. His eyes gleamed with malice. As long as Ariya went down, he was willing to pay a big price.

"Alright! Just wait and see tomorrow morning!" Pete sent a sneaky smile emoji before his avatar dimmed.

After settling things with Pete, Jensen stood up and shut down his computer. He wore a satisfied grin.

"Ariya, you dared to mess with me. By tomorrow morning, you'll pay the price! Not only will you be ruined, but your father—he's the deputy mayor, right? He'll definitely get caught in the fallout. Don't blame me for being ruthless; you forced my hand! Let this be a small interest payment for what the Willis family owes me! Hahaha!"

That same night, Ariya didn't get home until midnight, tipsy from a long night of socializing. Those company CEOs could really drink, and she could barely keep up. Fortunately, Nia was there to help, or she wouldn't have made it home in one piece.

"How much did you drink?" Ariya collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she walked in, startling Talon, who had been reading. He grabbed a towel to wipe her face.

"You… you… why are you out of the hospital?" Ariya propped her head up with her hand and slurred her words.

Talon poured her a glass of water and said with concern, "I'm healed, so I got discharged. You really shouldn't drink if you can't handle it. You could've asked me to go with you instead of getting yourself into this state."

Ariya shot back in mock anger, "If I brought you along, you'd end up killing someone! My back and shoulders are aching; help me massage them."

"You really want me to massage you?" Talon was taken aback for a moment.

"Stop wasting time and get to it!" Ariya lay down on the sofa and closed her eyes.

Talon placed his hands on her shoulders. She was only wearing a shirt, and as he massaged her gently, one of the buttons popped open. Talon's eyes lingered hungrily, and his hand involuntarily reached out.

Ariya weakly tried to push him away. "Stop messing around; I'm exhausted." She murmured, "Talon, I know it was you who sent Ralphy. I couldn't have taken over Arilon Group without your help. Also, Nia told me you saved her. She wanted me to thank you. But I can't help feeling something's off. It seems like Nia likes you."

Talon gently stroked Ariya's back. "I only love you. Don't overthink it. But I was surprised that the Gordon family from Pennsylvania came to Philadelphia for investment. Working with Nia could really benefit you."

"Yeah." Ariya shivered slightly, turning to look at Talon, her eyes filled with a conflicted mix of rejection and desire. She hadn't had a s*x life in five years, so Talon's touch made her extra sensitive, and with the alcohol in her system, it was nearly impossible to suppress her desires.

"How about I give you a full-body massage?" Talon swallowed nervously and asked, almost foolishly.

"Mhm." Ariya's response was barely audible, and her cheeks flushed as she buried her face in the sofa. Her mind was filled with dirty thoughts. She didn't resist him at all.

Talon's hands slid from her waist to her legs, applying a bit more pressure. Ariya let out a soft moan of pleasure and slowly closed her eyes. Talon continued his slow massage.

After a while, Ariya fell asleep. Talon gazed at her beautiful face for a long time, then leaned down to kiss her gently on the forehead before carrying her to the bedroom.
