Footsteps could be heard from outside. Sienna walked in, her face pale. A lot of people who seemed like her bodyguards followed behind her. They were all glaring down at every single one of Dahlia’s subordinates.Freddy’s eyes lit up as soon as Sienna showed up.“I knew you wouldn’t leave me, baby! I ate three whole pills just for you! You’ll have a lot of fun tonight…”Slap!Sienna instantly slapped Freddy across the face before he could even finish his sentence. He couldn’t help but stumble backwards.He didn’t fight back. All he did was touch his cheek, a mystified look on his face.Upon closer inspection, Freddy’s breathing had grown even more rapid; as if he couldn’t wait any longer.Dahlia sized up Sienna for a moment.“So you’re Colton Torres’s goddaughter?” she asked after a brief moment of hesitation. This identity was used outside of Flutwell.If everyone knew that Sienna was actually the princess of the Wright family, a lot of people would be eyeing her.Even s
Dahlia knew Sienna had an extraordinary background…But she had no intention of giving up.After all, outsiders were no match against local powerhouses.The Torres family seemed to have a strong background to the rest, but they were nothing to the John family.After all, Colton lost against the head of the Golden Palace when they fought for the throne before. He was getting close to his death as well because of his past injury.Dahlia wasn’t about to be apologetic.She only felt that she would gain nothing by escalating the situation further, just because of a woman with a bit of authority. Freddy wasn’t showing any fear either; all he did was look at Sienna perversely.Naturally, he was still quite interested in her.Harvey could see an elderly person in a black robe standing behind Freddy. The person seemed quite inconspicuous, but it was clear that this was no one ordinary. Most likely, it was a Yoga expert from India.“I don’t need your apology.”“Nor do I need your mo
“Young Master Garcia is the son of the Celestial Temple’s elder, a prominent figure who’s extremely close to being a God of War!”“Young Master Garcia is showing you respect by pursuing you!”“How dare you be this shameless…”Sienna’s bodyguard captain revealed a cold glare.Never had the princess been talked down in such a way her entire life!The captain couldn’t be bothered to say another word; he walked forward and grabbed the young man’s neck, and slammed the man against the table behind him.Bam!The table snapped in half, and the young man screamed in pain. His entire body was covered in glass shards and thorns, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.The crowd was shocked to see what had just happened.They couldn’t believe that Sienna was this domineering, even though Dahlia had already made everything clear.At this point, Sienna’s bodyguards weren’t just beating someone up at this point. They were completely disrespecting the John family and the Indians!Things wer
Logan was clad in a brand new uniform as he fiercely stomped to the middle of the box.He crossed his arms with a dignified look on his face.Sienna frowned, but she didn’t say a word.Dahlia revealed a deep look and glanced meaningfully at Sienna.“What’s wrong?”“You think there’s no law in Flutwell?! Is that what you people think?!”“You’re disrespecting the entire police force for doing this!”“You’re even pulling out weapons just to fight for such a small problem?!”“Are you trying to murder everyone?!” Logan exclaimed, not even bothered to find out who was in the wrong.However, someone with a good eye would be able to tell that he was screaming at Sienna. Moreover, he seemed quite respectful whenever he was facing Dahlia.“It’s not that I’m trying to cause trouble here, Inspector! The Indians drugged me, and this lady here is trying to help them take advantage of me!” Sienna remarked coldly.“It’s just a misunderstanding, Director Bowie!” Dahlia countered with a warm
Everyone looked back at Sienna after hearing her words.“I will not accept this!” she exclaimed with a cold look on her face.“You think this was an attempt?! How dare you use such a word!”“If I didn’t bump into Harvey…”“Do you know how I would’ve ended up?”“If I didn’t have the power and background, what would’ve happened to me?!”“I don’t need any apology! I don’t want your compensation, either!”“I want payback!”“I want Freddy castrated, or I won’t let this slide!”Naturally, Sienna was looking at the situation from the perspective of an ordinary woman.If scumbags like Freddy weren't dealt with, those women would be the one to suffer in the future.The trouble could only be avoided in the future if the root cause was solved.“Shut up!”Logan’s face darkened immediately.“Miss Wright! I already gave you a lot of respect for Elder Torres’s sake!”“Don’t let your emotions get ahead of you! We don’t know who’s in the wrong just yet!”“Maybe you shamelessly seduced Y
Just as Sienna was about to say something, Harvey let out a sigh and walked out.“I have something to say,” he began calmly.“Oh? We do have someone with a death wish here!”Logan raised his head with rage in his eyes.“What are you going to tell me, young man? Do you want me to…”Before he was done talking, his body froze in disbelief the moment he saw Harvey’s face.His entire body began trembling uncontrollably.“S… S… S…”Logan couldn’t even call out Harvey properly.He instantly bent his body and stood in front of Harvey with an anxious look.Dahlia froze at the sight.“What’s the matter, Director Bowie? Do you know this kid?”She thought Logan got the wrong person.In her mind, nobody would be able to make Logan this frightful other than the Bauer family and the John family.Harvey ignored Dahlia completely and glanced at Logan calmly.“Come over here,” he said, hooking his finger.Logan’s head went numb; he had no choice but to do as Harvey said. Dahlia and Fredd
“If you’re not going to do it, then tell your master to do it himself!”“Or did you already realize that he can’t do anything to me either?”“Was the lesson not enough for you?”“Do you have a death wish? Why are you standing up for the perpetrators again?”“Looks like I’ll have to strip you of your position this time. You’ll have a lot of time thinking about your mistakes when you’re locked behind bars!”Bam!“I’m sorry, Sir York!”Logan couldn’t help but grovel on the floor.“I promise I won’t do it again! Please! Give me a chance!”“This is all my fault, Miss Wright!”“But I really can’t do anything about it, either!”Logan was showing a miserable look.He now understood what it meant to be dragged into a fight between powerful people.Both sides had powerful backgrounds and deep histories…However, he was just a mere second-in-command of the Flutwell Police Station. He had nobody supporting him, either.He was powerless in a situation like this!Harvey kicked Logan
“Ngh!”Freddy was trembling in pain on the ground, as if he had been stabbed a dozen times.He was acting high and mighty before; he thought that he had everything planned out, but nothing mattered at that moment.Pain was the only thing visible on his face. He couldn’t even say a single word, let alone make threats to Harvey.He was alive, but it was probably better for him to die.“Young Master Garcia!”“What’s wrong?”“What happened to you?!”Dahlia and the others immediately changed expressions after seeing Freddy in such a sorry state.Nobody knew what happened. How did Freddy suddenly drop to the ground?!Did he get shocked by Harvey’s gunshots?There was no way!Freddy was much stronger than that!The elderly person in a black robe quickly rushed toward Freddy.His name was Croix. He was an expert of India’s Celestial Temple, and also Freddy’s personal bodyguard.He specialized in Yoga, while also being well-versed in some medical skills.He immediately trapped F
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
