“Besides, Young Master Mendoza’s sister has control over Hong Kong’s Dragon Palace right now.”“They are renowned in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas, with a powerful status! Have you actually considered the consequences for offending him?!”“Even if you’re not scared, Yoana will bring her men here immediately if you kill him now. What would happen if the reputation of my Emerald Club got sullied because of your actions?”Kaitlyn’s face was filled with bitterness. “Young Master Mendoza’s here to apologize, anyway. He’s here to make peace! How is he supposed to show his sincerity after you make him kneel with your gun?”Though Kaitlyn’s voice had a sweet and gentle quality to it, the tone she spoke in was cold and distant.Everything that had happened the day before had been burned deep in her heart. She could recall every instance with vivid clarity.Since Edwin was Harvey’s subordinate, Kaitlyn didn’t mind crushing him.Of course, she also wanted to know what tricks Edwin had up
“Make peace?!”“Ha! Do you think you have the right for that?!”Louis cut in the conversation and threw a dirty glare at Edwin. Contempt was written all over his face as he looked at Edwin with hate. Then, he took out a grenade and placed it on the table.“I’ll accept the offer for Kaitlyn if you can swallow this whole!”Harvey’s eyes twitched slightly when he saw that Louis had several more grenades strapped on his waist.As expected of the man who had returned from the Dark Island. He could even bring such things with him…Wasn’t he afraid of killing himself along with everyone around him if he happened to set off one of the grenades by accident?Everyone else seemed to realize the same thing as Harvey, and their faces changed slightly.There were a few beautiful women whose faces went pale at the realization. Yet at the same time, their gazes turned rather flirtatious. Men with destructive weapons scare them, but for some reason, they could feel charm radiating from Louis.
A crisp sound rang in the air as Edwin took the slap right on the face.A red palm print appeared on his cheek, gleaming viciously. The wretched sight was a humiliating one, indeed.“Kaitlyn!” Edwin growled, having lost all his patience.The moment his voice came out, the Parson family’s bodyguards charged forward.They pointed their firearms at Edwin’s head.If Edwin were to make any sudden moves, they wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger.Harvey and Leslie exited the crowd as well.“You think you can just call my name as you please?”“You think you have the right for that?” Kaitlyn demanded, her tone disdainful.“The Mendoza family is just a first-rated family! You think you’re some hotshot here just because your sister has control over the Dragon Palace’s branch, don’t you?”“Did you forget that you only got this far thanks to the Hamilton family?”“You cling onto the Hamilton family, then you get close to Harvey…”“Does your family even have dignity?”“Let me tell you
Edwin’s eyes were twitching as he looked at Kaitlyn’s smug face. His right hand was trembling, but in the end, he never swung it.Or rather, he forced himself back with all his might.Slap!When Kaitlyn saw that Edwin was remaining still, she slapped him on the other side of his face.“Filth! You’re all bark and no show! You look impressive, but you can’t even do anything!”“You won’t even fight back after getting hit by a woman!”“Do you have no shame?!”“Do you?!”Edwin was completely humiliated by Kaitlyn.‘Even when he’s one of the young masters of Las Vegas, he wouldn’t even fight back against me!’‘How useless can he be?!’‘At this point, he should just die!’Edwin covered his face, blood beginning to seep out of his lips. He looked utterly miserable, presenting an extremely horrible sight.The people watching burst out laughing and clinked their glasses in amusement as they delighted in the show. Some were even filming the entire thing with their phones.A young ma
“Besides, that’s the Johnson family’s share. Not yours! You don’t even have the right to decide for them!”“Or are you saying that your master’s already too scared to come at us? Is that why he’s okay with such humiliating terms?”Kaitlyn glared coldly at Edwin. Clearly, she wanted to see how he would react so she could proceed with her plan accordingly.Yet, Edwin remained composed.“Enough nonsense, Ms. Parson. I’ll ask you again: are you willing to accept the conditions or not?”Kaitlyn got closer and sized up Edwin, before approaching him to whisper in his ear.“Of course I’m willing to accept such good terms. But what a shame! I didn’t take Ms. Johnson away!”“Even if I did… Since your master’s making such great efforts to save her, wouldn’t it be more fun if I just keep her here and watch the Johnson family part ways with him?”“Your master thinks he can cause such a big commotion in Hong Kong and Las Vegas just because he’s a little smart and talented?”“He’s being naiv
“So what if I am?”“So what if I want to disrespect you?”Kaitlyn strode back to her couch calmly before sinking in it, crossing her legs haughtily.A faint smile hung on her lips as she looked at Edwin with a glare filled with contempt. “Are you about to lash out after trying so hard to swallow all that humiliation?”“Or are you going to hit me now?”“Go on! Try it!”“I’d love to see how you’ll do it!”“You…”Edwin was about to take a step forward when orderly footsteps could be heard from behind.Several uniformed people, armed to the teeth, surrounded the entire courtyard.Yoana, who was dressed in the same uniform, emerged out of the crowd with grand steps.“You dare touch someone from my family, Kaitlyn? Have you asked yourself this?”“Can you bear the consequences for doing such a thing?!”Yoana’s expression worsened when she got a glimpse of her brother’s swollen face and tattered clothes.“Oh mt! Isn’t this the lady of the Mendoza family, Helm Yoana Mendoza hers
Yoana’s pretty face became ice-cold, and her deadly frown could freeze ice. Louis’s slap had crossed her line.She represented Hong Kong and Las Vegas’ Dragon Palace branch, as well as Harvey’s interests.She would never allow herself to be slapped in the face that easily.In retaliation, she whipped out her elegant firearm.“You really think my title as helm is just for show, Louis?” she exclaimed, her voice an icy hiss.“Do you think I won’t kill you?”At her behest, her subordinates leaned forward with the safeties of their firearms off and aimed right at Louis.However, this deterrence was clearly useless against Louis. He glanced at Yoana, fearless, and snarled, “You barged in Emerald Club and challenged Kaitlyn’s authority! Of course you need a slap in the face!”“Let me tell you something, Yoana…”“Your title might be able to scare most people, but it can’t scare me! You think you have the right to stand up for your brother?!”“Dream on!”“Looks like you’re ready to g
“Hahahaha!”“Filth will always be filth!”“You’re all just trash!”“Look at yourselves!”Louis kept laughing maniacally as he gloated at Edwin and the others’ sorry state.“You people dare to show off in front of me?!”“You’re the ones bringing justice?!”“Hah! I haven’t even thrown my babies out yet, but you’re all already this terrified!”“If I really did it, you would’ve all burst into tears by now!”“All of you are really useless!”“The Mendoza family? The Clarke family?”“Stop joking around!”“You only got your statuses because nobody’s there to steal your spot!”“You think you’re so awesome to the point you’re on par with people like us?!”“Are you even worthy?!”Louis tapped Edwin on the face, arrogance seeping from his every pore. Helena and other beautiful women covered their mouths and giggled snidely.After tonight, both the Clarke and the Mendoza family would turn into Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s biggest jokes.Edwin shot a deadly glare at Louis. If only th
