However, even an elite like the lieutenant of the Western Border Patrol was murdered at the Cansington Hotel. How were ordinary people like them going to stand against him?Still, they were willing to take a chance to fight back.They were unaware of the grave consequences that would follow when they failed.The Great Four were thrown into panic, yet the outside world had no idea as it was an internal affair of the Great Four.The rest of the world only knew that the Great Four were in big trouble. The head of the Xaviers, Warren, died tragically at his birthday banquet. Soon after, the news of Trent’s passing spread.After that, the heads of the other three families of the Great Four also died.All important figures from the Great Four were gone.It was major news in Cansington.However, the news was overshadowed by the succession of the Blithe King.Now that the succession ceremony was over, everyone began to turn their attention to the affairs of the Great Four again.“The
Thea’s family left early in the morning.Their goal today was to purchase a new luxury car.They had visited countless car dealers and tested many cars, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and luxury cars from other well-known brands.However, they were still unsatisfied.It was either too low for their expectations or way over their budget.Coincidentally, there was a motor show in Cansington that day.There were plenty of luxury cars being showcased. Thea’s family visited the show.Davids's eyes widened when he saw the luxury cars on display.“Woah! Ferrari, Bentley, Maybach, and Bugatti Veyron!”David looked at the sexy and attractive model standing in front of the luxury cars on display and was envious. “When will we ever be able to buy a real luxury car? A car that costs one million is garbage compared to these.”Slap!Gladys slapped David’s forehead and reprimanded him. “Don’t have unrealistic dreams. It’s more than enough to buy a car that is about one million. Wh
Xander used to mainly do dirty business. He had not even opened his mouth yet, but the brat in front of him was pinning the blame on him.“Of course I’m going to brake and wait for the red light! You were following behind too closely and bumped into me. Now, you’re blaming me and wronging me?”Xander glanced at David’s car and noticed there was no license plate on it, nor was there an insurance sticker on the windscreen. Immediately, he was thrilled.“It’s a new car, right? Well, you see, there’s a dent in the back of my car now. It should be enough to pay me if you sell the car and top up a few million more.”David’s legs went rubbery, and he immediately fell to the ground. “I’m so sorry, Sir. Could you please forgive me? I bought this car with all my money. I have no money to compensate you!”“Why be so arrogant if you have no money?” Xander kicked David to the ground, approached him, and began beating him.“Don’t hit him!” Alyssa rushed over and grabbed Xander.Slap!Xander
Thea’s family was in a state of panic after David was taken away.David was kidnapped right before the traffic police, but they did not try to stop him.They were not stupid and understood that someone driving a car worth tens of millions was definitely a person of great influence.Alyssa grabbed Thea and asked hopefully, “You’re the only one who can save David now. Aren’t you acquainted with Alex Yates? Hurry and give him a call!”“I… I’ll try.” Thea was not confident.However, now that her brother was taken away, the situation was so urgent that she had no choice but to try.“Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.”Thea called Alex, but his phone could not be reached.“I called, but it’s not getting through,” said Thea.“Then what else should we do? J-James! Isn’t he a retired soldier? Didn’t he say that he knew someone very influential? Call him to come, quick!” Alyssa was about to cry and said with a sobbing voice.“I’ve called him. He is on the way.”“
“Don’t worry, Yoel. Thea will divorce James really soon.” Although David was useless, he was still her son, so she could not stand by and watch him get in trouble.On top of that, James was a retired soldier and kept claiming to know someone influential. Compared to that, Gladys chose someone who was really influential instead.Yoel belonged to the Smiths and had a huge family business worth tens of billions.Thea getting married to the Smiths would be a thousand times better than staying married to James.“What do you say, Thea?” Yoel glanced at Thea.Xander was indeed terrifying. The Smiths were nothing compared to Xander. He was a real gangster that did not bother to earn himself a reputation or title.However, his father had some connections with Xander, and they even had dinner together.Plus, it was just a rear-end and not a big deal.His father could simply talk to Xander and compensate him with some money, and then the problem would be solved.It was not a loss to pa
Thea called and informed James that the problem was settled.James returned home and prepared the food, waiting for Thea and the others to return home for lunch.They returned very quickly.As soon as they entered the house, James noticed something was wrong.They all wore very strange expressions.There were even tears on Thea and Alyssa’s faces.James asked doubtfully, “Thea, is something the matter? I thought everything was resolved. Why didn’t David come back together?”Thea glanced at him and cried, aggrieved.“What’s wrong?“Tell me if there’s something wrong. I can solve it for you,” James consoled her.“Ha…” Gladys sighed.“What’s wrong, Mom? Why’re you sighing?” asked James.However, no one in the family spoke.They entered the house and sat down. Immediately, James went to prepare the bowls and utensils, serving everyone some rice. “Come, let’s discuss it while eating,” he suggested.“James, let’s get a divorce,” Thea said with tears welling up in her eyes.J
“Sir…Sir, I’m sorry. Please…please forgive me.”David was bruised all over, but he kept begging for mercy.Suddenly, someone walked in and reported, “Mr. Xander, there’s someone here claiming that he brought the money to ransom that brat.”“Bring him in.”“Okay.”Yoel was led into the basement by several of Xander’s subordinates. He noticed David tied from the ceiling and bruised everywhere from getting a beating. Immediately, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.However, when he thought about getting Thea as his after getting David out, his courage immediately skyrocketed.Moreover, there were plenty of rumors about Xander. Yoel knew that he was someone loyal to his friends and would not cause trouble recklessly.He approached Xander who sitting on a chair, took out a cigarette, and handed it over.He bent over and smiled, “Hello, Mr. Xander. My name is Yoel from the Smiths. My father is York Smith. You’ve had dinner with him before.”Xander smiled and mu
James walked into the basement.More than twenty of Xander’s subordinates gathered in the basement.Hundreds of security guards and dozens of subordinates outside had already been brought down by James.“James? Were you the one?”Xander was about to take David away when he suddenly saw the person walking into the basement. His face darkened, and he yelled, “Do you know where this place is? Hurry and kneel! Admit your mistake and beg for forgiveness…”James approached them and immediately threw his leg at Xander.Immediately, Xander flew several meters away and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.He had broken some bones when he landed and could not get up.“You…:”Xander did not act recklessly.He was from the criminal world, so he caught a few clues from James’ attacks.This man was definitely a trained soldier from the special forces.“James, right? I’ve had no grudges against you recently, nor have we crossed paths. So, what’s the meaning of this?” He stared at James.
