Grace had never met anyone from the streets before. She assumed that Hawks was a very capable figure, who happened to be interested in her, so she was hasty to show off.It was exactly like how she started looking down on Frederick when Priscilla's company started raking in profits; she had gone around feeling like she was above everyone else.Of course, she would not think much of Tyger and Jacob, not when she was so arrogant."You can't even walk, you old farts, and yet you're imitating everyone else by trying to put an end to this. "Don't end up embarrassing yourselves. You should get out of here so that no one snaps the twigs you call limbs!"Tyger had been in the streets for more than 30 years. He had never expected that he'd be subjected to an insulting scolding by a woman in her twenties.He opened his eyes wide and looked at Grace, astonished. Grace thought that Tyger had been rendered speechless. She kept on saying gleefully, "Frederick's useless, and he ended up call
Hawks said angrily, "Why did I slap you, you ask? To apologize to The Almighty Tyger, of course!"The thugs and Grace were all stunned upon seeing Hawks' actions. Grace roared, covering her face, "What are you going on about like a madman? Is there any tiger here?"Hawks glared at Grace. This woman had a pretty face but was also extremely dumb. "I'm talking about The Almighty Tyger, Tyger Lex, of course."Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Tyger Lex!"They unanimously turned toward Tyger. This old man in a wheelchair was the legendary Almighty Tyger! He did not look the part at all!Tyger frowned. He asked, confused, "Have you met me before?"Hawks went forward cautiously. "I saw you from afar during a gathering, Mr. Lex, but I didn't dare greet you."Hawks recognized Tyger at first glance, but he thought he might have gotten it wrong as Tyger was currently in a wheelchair. Also, he had first met Tyger four years ago, so he thought that he just had a fuzzy memory, until the mome
As if a civilian would dare impersonate Tyger Rex! If this woman ended up angering Tyger with all the ridiculous words she was spewing, more people would probably die!If Wade could stand up, he would surely give Grace two slaps on the face. Before Grace could finish, everyone heard a flurry of footsteps from outside. The room was instantly filled with a massive group of men clad in black. Every one of them gave out a sense of foreboding coldness.The dozens of men in black shocked Grace so much that she started shivering. Her mind was going into overdrive. What was happening? Why did all those men in black come here?After the men in black entered, they heeded no one save for Tyger, whom they bowed to respectfully and greeted unanimously. "Good day, Mr. Lex!"Grace was so overcome with shock she almost fainted on the spot. Even with how thick-headed she was, she came to realize that she had met the real Tyger Lex. Oh god, the person she had been jeering at was Tyger Lex!Ty
Grace was horrified after seeing a dozen men in black. Their eyes were full of lust.She could already imagine what would be happening to her next.Grace looked around helplessly and noticed Frederick standing at the side.She immediately knelt down before him and begged, "Please save me, Frederick. We used to be family! Do this for Priscilla's sake! Didn't she say that you've been in contact with June recently? If June were to hear that I was tortured to death, she would definitely be heartbroken."Frederick frowned after listening to Grace's words.He wasn't kind enough to still forgive Grace after all the times she had humiliated him.But mentioning that June would be heartbroken had managed to touch Frederick's heart.Frederick knew that a kind soul like June would truly be stricken with grief if something were to happen to Grace.He didn't want to cause June to be sad.Frederick calmly replied, "Priscilla's about to wake up soon. You should stay here and look after her."
Grace continued, "He's even become friends with that thug Tyger now, guess we could no longer fight back against him."Priscilla angrily picked up David's note and went through it, she clenched her fists as she realized that the note's contents were beneficial to her cause. "What's so great about being friends with a gangster? I doubt they could go against the law."She then pulled out her phone and gave Frederick a call.Meanwhile, Frederick just finished preparing medicine within Tyger's house.He frowned as he realized that the caller was Priscilla. He had no idea why she would be calling him.He wondered if she wanted to thank him for saving her from being violated.Frederick passed the medicine to Tyger and picked up the call.Priscilla's cold tone could be heard loud and clear. "Frederick, were you there at the restaurant when I fainted?"Frederick nodded. He already knew that Priscilla was calling him to talk about this. "That's right. I only took action after June told
Frederick was confused by Tyger's reaction while he lightly nodded his head.Tyger explained, "Dr. York, why don't you give Ms. Samson a chance? She has a very good impression of you."Frederick recalled Scarlett's charming appearance upon the mention of her name, as well as the contrast of her nature as a female gangster.He shuddered involuntarily.Tyger understood that feelings between a man and a woman needed time to develop. He had ample confidence that Frederick would not be able to resist Scarlett's charm.As of now, Tyger already started treating Frederick as one of his own.It would only be a matter of time before Scarlett fully brought Frederick over to his side.Tyger started to ask Frederick about his past as he wanted to learn more about him. "Dr. York, you're already such an accomplished doctor at such a young age. Who did you study medicine from?"Frederick slightly frowned as he could tell that Tyger was trying to get him to talk. "My teacher prefers not to be n
Frederick was so furious that murderous intent was emanating from his body.Gusts of wind blew across the courtyard outside the house. Birds playing around in the outdoors suddenly screamed and flew away in all directions, seemingly trying to avoid danger.Tyger felt that the room had suddenly gotten much colder.He cautiously scanned Frederick from head to toe. He could tell that the immense murderous intent was coming from Frederick's body.Tyger was shocked by the fact that Frederick could hold so much murderous intent as a young man in his twenties. He knew better than anyone that murderous intent was not something that could be trained, nor did it come innately like talent.It was something that could only be accrued by going through unspeakable experiences with life and death.Tyger could tell that Frederick was a dangerous man.Tyger knew that Frederick wasn't being hostile toward himself, but he still instinctively prepared to defend himself.Suddenly, Jacob pushed op
The next morning, Frederick woke up and made himself some food. Right as he was about to take a bite, the doorbell rang.He opened the door and saw Vivianne.Vivianne donned a formal suit. Her figure and presence resembled a capable and powerful businesswoman.Vivianne quickly noticed the aroma of the food the moment Frederick opened the door. "Smells great! What did you make?"She took off her heels and ran toward the kitchen.Frederick helplessly shook his head as Vivianne returned to her usual self the moment she opened her mouth. "I haven't mopped the floor yet, so you should wear a pair of slippers. Don't get your feet dirty, you know."Vivianne didn't really care about getting her feet dirty. Her attention was focused solely on the aroma coming from the kitchen.She started devouring Frederick's food.Frederick, still starving, helplessly sat down on the sofa.He couldn't understand why Vivianne would always appear right after he finished cooking a meal. "So, why are you
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
