Grace softly said from the side, "Didn't you see how capable that Hades guy was? Anyone would cower in front of him, let alone Frederick. Not even Nelson or the guards at the Sky Garden could compare to him."Even if Frederick had some training before, he would still lose his limbs if Hades used his knife."Ivy couldn't hold it back anymore. She wanted to clear the hatred between Frederick, Priscilla, and Grace at first.However, the two women had been trying to get him drunk ever since they reached the restaurant. Then, they had to insist on getting compensated. If they hadn't done that, none of these things would've happened.At that moment, one employee was sent to the hospital for drinking too much. Meanwhile, another one of theirs had lost a hand. Ivy didn't know how she should explain the situation to Anya!Meanwhile, Grace was actually still saying unhelpful nonsense, and Ivy couldn't tolerate it anymore. "If he loses his limbs, no one else can save us! If that happens, I h
The thug wasn't doing much better either. There were pieces of shattered glass embedded in his head as he cried out in pain.Frederick quickly pushed a portion of the thug's body out the window. The second he loosened his grip, the thug would immediately fall down.Although they were only on the second floor, no one could guarantee that the thug would make it out alive after falling from such a height.The thug could feel himself swaying in the air and quickly began shouting in fear, "H-Hades, let them go now! He's being serious here. He'll really throw me down!"Hades had long been affiliated with the underworld scene. He could tell from Frederick's actions that Frederick was a cruel and heartless man.He was sure Frederick would not hesitate to drop his underling from the window. But he was filled with reluctance to back down as he glanced at Priscilla and Ivy.Those two women were stunning. It was a blessing from the gods above to be able to meet such beautiful ladies.When w
Frederick was in a hurry to deal with Hades and his group of thugs. After seeing that Melissa was not listening to him, he quickly turned to Ivy and said, "Ms. Mallin, take Melissa and leave now!"Ivy hurriedly went up to pull Melissa away. Then, she whispered into Melissa's ear and said, "We won't be of much help by staying here with him. We can at least call the police and wait for him outside."Melissa felt that Ivy was making a lot of sense and agreed to leave with her.Seeing everyone leave, Hades quickly questioned Frederick, "Hey, everyone's gone now. Are you going to let him go now?"Frederick was just about to let the thug go when his phone began to ring. He answered his phone with one hand, while he held onto the thug with his other hand. At the same time, he promised the thug to not let him fall to the ground.The thug was currently cursing Frederick to death because of it. He could die if Frederick lost focus for even a second.It was Ursara calling. He asked, "Wher
Frederick didn't want to waste his breath on Hades as Hades would probably refuse to believe him no matter what he said.At that moment, Ursara rushed up the stairs with his own group of thugs behind him.Seeing Ursara coming at him angrily, Hades said, "Ursara, what do you think you're doing?"Ursara was currently looking at Hades like he was the devil. He said angrily, "We haven't settled our old debts yet. That bitch you follow around poisoned Mr. Duskfang. How dare you try and harm Mr. Duskfang's savior. You've crossed the line this time!"Hades was shocked as he looked at the number of people behind Ursara. But he couldn't back down as his underlings were all waiting to see his next move."Ursara, there's no need for any meaningless chatter. I know that you used him to trick me! You even hired a bunch of office workers to play the part. Where did you find so many extras?"Ursara couldn't hear what Hades was rambling on about. So, he said angrily, "Enough with the nonsense.
Hades felt humiliated as he listened to the insults Ursara hurled at him. He hated that Ursara had exposed his flaws in front of such a large crowd.He was filled with anger. He said, "Son of a bitch! Ursara, stop talking nonsense and fight me like a man."Ursara had planned on fighting Hades. He planned to beat Hades up before taking Nicole's ointment from Frederick."Mr. York, why don't you leave first? I'm afraid that you'll be caught in the crossfire when we start fighting later."Frederick had planned on taking down Hades and his men. But he might as well save his energy since Ursara wanted to fight them.He had a short fight with Ursara at Tigris' funeral. Although Frederick had not fought back and had been focused on dodging, he had grasped Ursara's capabilities to a certain extent.Ursara liked to fight with brute force, and Hades and Ursara had similar fighting styles. But from his performance earlier, it seemed Hades was slightly inferior in terms of power.Ursara also
"Hello? Anya, there's something I need to tell you. But you'd better prepare yourself first."Anya was in her mansion and was about to rest when she received Ivy's call. Hearing her words, Anya felt a bad feeling creeping into her heart."What's wrong? Has the feud between Priscilla and Team One's new leader not been resolved during the party?"Ivy felt like she was on the verge of tears. Priscilla and Frederick's feud was the least of her problems. But Ivy was afraid Anya would not be able to accept what had happened if she was too direct. So, she began beating around the bush and said, "So, the thing is, there was a lot of alcohol involved in the party. One of our employees drank so much that he's been admitted into the hospital."Anya frowned unhappily. Why did they have to drink to the point that they had been hospitalized? However, that didn't seem to be too big of a deal."Tell them to pay attention to how much they drink in public. Just let the hospital deal with him fo
Inside a high-end club, a tanned man with glasses was currently sitting in the middle of two gorgeous and sexy women. Suddenly, another man wearing sunglasses opened the door to his room and said, "Mr. Griffin, Mitchell has come to ask for your help."The tanned man was no other than Thomas Griffin, son of the renowned Brad Griffin.Thomas pushed his glasses up and placed his glass on the table. "Is he the same guy who caused Pegasus Industries to be shut down by authorities?"The man with the sunglasses said, "That's tight. He used to be responsible for Pegasus Industries, but he caused our company to be shut down. "He's probably out of options after being labeled as a criminal by the police. How dare he come and meet you? I'll go and teach him a lesson before chasing him away."Thomas' expression darkened as he said coldly, "He's a wanted criminal because he has been doing our company's dirty work. How will the people of the underworld view me if I refuse to see him?"What a
Mitchell added, "My mother's been arrested by the police because she had helped me escape."Thomas gave the situation some thought before he said impassively, "Well, this makes things a lot more complicated. I'll need to call in several favors and contacts."Due to his unwillingness to continue living like a criminal on the run, he quickly spoke out after seeing Thomas' reluctant expression. "But, Mr. Griffin—"Before he could finish his sentence, Thomas interrupted him and pushed the two women beside him toward Mitchell. "I'll arrange a place for you to lay low and give you some money if you run out of cash. The two ladies over here will be in charge of your meals and daily needs. "I'll also try my best to settle things as soon as I can. Are these arrangements alright with you?"The two ladies adeptly made their way toward Mitchell. One of the ladies began to blow in his ear while the other lady began to pour some alcohol for him.Mitchell had been feeling slightly reluctant
Mary's case was the most severe, while Ivan's symptoms were the mildest, and Frederick could roughly deduce the sequence of transmissions among them. It was clear that Mary infected Nigel, who then passed it to Kimberly, then finally passed it to Ivan. Frederick also saw that Ivan was actually a decent person who unfortunately ended up being betrayed and infected. However, Nigel was primarily worried that Ivan might start trusting Frederick, as he wanted Ivan to believe in his capabilities to carry out his plan.Originally, he intended for Mary to insult Frederick for being poor and unskilled, but she ended up attacking him for having an unpleasant odor, which backfired when Frederick exposed her for contracting syphilis. Now, Nigel had no choice but to take matters into his own hands, he then said to Frederick, "Hehe, Frederick. We all know Ivy is a director, what exactly do you do to be worthy of her?"Nigel assumed that Frederick was just a low-level salesperson, something
Hearing Frederick's words, Kimberly jumped with joy and stopped crying. While wiping her tears, she pointed at Mary, laughing and said, "You're covered in syphilis, yet you're making fun of me.""Slut, I wonder how many people you've slept with!" After being pointed and insulted, Mary was furious and she was ready to fight Kimberly. "You bitch! I am going to teach you a lesson!" At this moment, Nigel felt terrible. If Mary was diseased, he'd be the first victim. He grabbed Mary and shouted, "Bitch, let me teach you a lesson first. Now I know why you always wanted the lights off! I thought you were shy, but you just didn't want me to find out."In a fit of anger, Nigel slapped Mary hard across the face. Just as Mary was about to explain, she was interrupted by another slap. Holding her face, she yelled angrily, "Nigel, how dare you hit me?! Do you want me to expose all your little schemes and tricks?"Nigel froze in horror; if Mary exposed him, it would have been disastrous.
Kimberly heard her laughter, and body odor had always been a sensitive issue for her; a wound she'd tried to cover up over the years. For Frederick to bring it up in front of everyone felt like rubbing salt into an open wound. Yet what hurt even more was Mary's laughter; as a fellow woman, it felt like salt to the wound, then roasting it. Kimberly was furious, pointed at Mary and said, "What are you laughing at? Do you want me to come over there and shut you up?"Mary felt wronged, she had only let out a reflexive laugh, but now Kimberly's anger was directed at her. "Did I laugh at you? What proof do you have that I laughed at you?""You're the one with body odor, yet you're taking it out on others. You're such an unreasonable woman!"Kimberly grew even angrier after hearing Mary's retort. "You're the one with body odor, your whole family has it!" "Look at what you're wearing, it's like you just threw on two pillowcases. You're a shameless woman, just trying to show off t
When everyone heard Ivy's words, they laughed even more. Her words effectively confirmed that Frederick did indeed have an unpleasant odor. It wasn't entirely her fault as Kimberly's words had been a bit of a trap. "Haha, if you smell, just take a shower and don't embarrass yourself here.""With all that cheap stuff on, no wonder he has a smell."Hearing this, Frederick simply gave a slight smile and then asked Mary and Kimberly, "Are two really that fragrant?"Mary and Kimberly lifted their heads proudly after hearing Frederick's words. "Why don't you ask everyone here, ask them if we smell good or not?""Exactly, go ahead and ask."Both of them considered themselves beautiful, and of course, they would smell pleasant. The men around them quickly chimed in, especially those eager to admire Mary, who was dressed in a way that gave them a bit of eye candy. "Of course, they smell good. How could these two beautiful ladies not smell good?""Hehe, Frederick with his cheap, th
In a hidden corner, Nigel said to Mary, "Damn it, that bumpkin Frederick keeps stealing my spotlight. I am worried that our plan won't go well later.""You should help me humiliate him properly, and Ivan's girlfriend will back you up."Mary pursed her lips and said to Nigel, "Every time something comes up, you just ask me to handle it. My bag hasn't been bought yet, and you've lost 300 thousand dollars"Although Nigel was annoyed by Mary hitting a sore spot, he kept his tone calm and replied, "Help me humiliate Frederick and talk him down in front of Ivan. After that, leave the rest to me. Once it's done, I'll get you more than one bag, I could get you ten bags and it wouldn't be a problem. I don't care about that small amount of money. You saw that Porsche just now, right? I wouldn't mind burning it if I had to." Hearing this, Mary was delighted and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, babe." She hadn't realized that Nigel was so wealthy and even had a Porsche. Up until th
Knowing Martin as someone who knew a lot about wood, everyone immediately looked as though they were ready for a good show. They were convinced that the Saint George statue couldn’t possibly be made of anything valuable.Martin let out a strange exclamation. "What the hell!"Kimberly, thinking that Martin was angry, quickly said, "Mr. Lawson, tell us what’s so disastrous about this wood. Are you saying it’s just a piece of junk?"Contrary to expectations, Martin replied angrily, "I’m saying that whoever preserved this Saint George statue was a jerk. This is genuine sandalwood, and yet it’s completely neglected, covered in dust."Most of the group had no idea what sandalwood was worth, but judging by the name alone, it sounded impressive.Kimberly asked curiously, "Mr. Lawson, are you saying this is really antique wood?"Martin examined the statue carefully, scrutinizing every detail. "Judging by the texture, this carving must have been made at least 150 years ago."Everyone was
"The Saint George statue was indeed a fitting choice for a karaoke." Nigel chuckled, turning to Ivy.“Why didn’t you just go on Amazon and buy a new one for a few dozen bucks? This one is obviously second-hand. Or was it picked up from some junk stall?”Frederick heard Nigel’s mockery and nodded in agreement, a faint smile on his lips. “You’re not wrong. This statue actually was picked up from a street stall.”“At the Treasure Hall in the antique trade market, no less. And yes, it’s an antique.”The truth was, the statue was from the Victorian era. Even the owner of Treasure Hall, Dominic, had recognized its age but dismissed it as worthless, tossing it onto a stall outside.Frederick had picked it up casually, thinking it would come in handy one day, and now it was the perfect gift for Ivan.Hearing this, Nigel burst out laughing, clutching his stomach. “An antique? Treasure Hall? You’re really trying to fool us.”Kimberly chimed in, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she glance
The group’s attention was fully captured by Frederick’s words, their eyes all on him. Nigel, knowing that Kimberly had informed Ivy at the last minute and that she likely didn’t have a gift, sneered at Frederick."Well, if you’ve got a gift, go ahead and show it.""Considering Ivy and Kimberly’s relationship, the gift should be pretty decent, right?"Everyone was now staring at Frederick with anticipation, curious to see what kind of gift he could produce.Ivy, on the other hand, was completely flustered. She hadn’t handed any gift to Frederick, though she understood he was trying to help her out of a tough spot. But wasn’t this making things even more awkward?Nigel continued to press him, "Where’s the gift? Come on, take it out already.""After all this time, you still can’t take it out. Don’t tell me you don’t even have one."Frederick glanced at Nigel with a calm smile. "Oh? Are you planning to bet 300 grand with me again?"Nigel froze. There was no way he had another 300 t
Ivan was deeply moved, feeling as though all the unpleasantness from their school days had been swept away. A sense of childhood nostalgia, unique to old classmates, welled up within him.The crowd continued to shower Nigel with praise, giving him thumbs up one after another."A gift worth 10 grand is no small amount. Nigel is truly generous.""That’s right. These days, even classmates hesitate to prepare gifts, but Nigel has shown such generosity.."Most of the attendees had come because of their connection with Kimberly. Each had prepared gifts with costs ranging from a few hundred dollars. Compared to Nigel’s grandiose gift worth 10 thousand, their contributions paled in comparison.Hearing the compliments, Nigel waved his hand dismissively, feigning modesty. "It’s nothing, really. After all, Ivan and I are good friends from way back."Then, Nigel’s expression shifted slightly as he added, "Speaking of good friends, I’m sure it’s not just me and Ivan here who share a special b
