Just as the voice echoed through the room, Don Albert, followed by Bill and a large group of men, entered the room.Upon entering, he ordered Bill, “Shut the doors, don’t let others in this room!”Bill nodded. “Understood, Don Albert!”Zazpi stared at Don Albert, still in shock. It was as if his brain had been short-circuited. It was Don Albert Rhodes!The underground overlord of Aurous Hill!Zazpi was just one of the mere leaders within the area. However, Don Albert was the overlord of this very area! Everyone within the city knew that Don Albert was the absolute power!He would never have expected that he would meet Don Albert just because he had been asked to handle such small matters for Jerome!Jerome didn’t know who Don Albert was, however, seeing how shocked Zazpi was, he furrowed his eyebrows. “Zaz, what is going on? Who is this old man?”As soon as he heard those words, Zazpi was so scared that he started trembling.In the next second, Zazpi had grabbed Jerome by t
Right then and there, Bill took a metal rod out and approached Zazpi. Although the latter tried to beg for his life, Bill did not hesitate to raise the metal rod above his head and swing it down at a great speed.Crack! Zazpi’s right kneecap was smashed into pieces instantly. Such a comminuted fracture was almost impossible to recover from! Zazpi yelped in pain, but Charlie did not stop there. “We’re not quite done yet. We have only broken one leg, he would still be able to limp with the other. I want him crippled forever!”Bill nodded and raised the metal rod once more, and in no time, another loud crack came from Zazpi’s left knee. Zazpi rolled on the floor, screaming for help, his body about to go into shock.Don Albert barked out an order. “Bill, shove something into his mouth. His loud whining is going to annoy Mr. Wade!”“Yes, Don Albert!” Bill complied and shoved a few pieces of gauze pads into Zazpi’s mouth as the latter was already curled up into a ball on the ground.
Lawson had not expected that admitting to his faults would not do him any good either. He had just fainted out of shock, however, the pain from the impact woke him up in a mere second. “Ah!!!” Lawson had never experienced such torture in his entire life.Tears streamed down the wrinkles on his face as he cried out desperately, “Mr. Wade, it’s all my fault! I’ll never overlook her faults ever again, I won’t let her do such vile actions.”Disgusted, Charlie said, “Well, aren’t you good at blaming others for your faults?”Just this sentence was enough to send chills down Lawson Lewis’s spine.Charlie then demanded, “Lawson Lewis! Regarding the ten thousand dollars that my brother invested in your restaurant, why did you refuse to pay him back? Why did you claim that it was a gift?”Lawson’s face drained of color, and he tried to explain. “I was wrong, I was wrong for doing that! I was greedy, and I was shameless, I’m so sorry!” He then looked over to Douglas, who was enraged. Law
After a long pause, Charlie turned to Bill. “This old man seems to be quite sharp. He thinks that he won’t be punished as long as he doesn’t answer. Bill, shatter both of his legs!”“Yes, Mr. Wade!” Bill obeyed.Looking at Dylan, who was now panicking, Charles spoke in a cold tone. “You only have your son to blame.”Following two horrifying screams, Dylan Hunt was now crippled as well. At the sight of his father being beaten up, Jerome felt as though he had lost control of his body. In just a few moments, he was sitting in a pool of liquid that had a strong and unpleasant smell.He had actually wet his pants!Charlie chuckled. “Well, won’t you look at that? It looks like you can’t control that thing of yours! It’s the main cause of everything that has gone down up till now! I’d say that you would no longer be needing it anymore!”He then ordered, “Since that’s the case, destroy the one thing that makes him a man!”Bill seemed to hesitate. As a man himself, upon receiving such an
Charlie then had his men carry the five of them out, adding before they left, “I’ll spare your lives for now. However, if any of this is leaked to anyone else, I’ll kill all of you, understood?”The five of them nodded without hesitation. It was pure luck to be still able to walk out alive after this, how could they dare to defy Charlie even further?Knowing that the five of them no longer dared to defy him, Charlie nodded in satisfaction and turned to Lawson Lewis. “Trying to manipulate my brother comes at a great price. I want you and your daughter out of the restaurant and for it to be transferred under my brother’s name by tomorrow, understood?”Lawson nodded repeatedly. “Understood, I’ll be out of the restaurant by tomorrow for sure!”Charlie then turned to Dylan Hunt. “Your son hooked up with my brother’s fiance, even going as far as to beat him up this badly. You’d better prepare two million dollars as a compensation fee to him, and don’t you dare try and cut corners, unders
Charlie nodded. “Just get some rest. Once you’ve recovered, you can then run the restaurant. If I need anything, I’ll be sure to find you.”Douglas exclaimed, “Whenever you need me!”Charlie then added, “Oh, by the way, don’t tell anyone about what happened today. I don’t want people to know who I am, understood?”Douglas nodded. “Understood. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to take this secret with me to the grave!”Charlie smiled. “I’ll have two caretakers to take care of you, just get some rest. I’ll be off.”Upon reaching home, Charlie didn’t plan on telling Claire about what had happened since he didn’t want her to know too much. It was safer if she didn’t know anything about his identity.The next day, as he was buying groceries, Charlie received a call. When he picked up the phone, he realized it was the daughter of the boss of Vintage Deluxe, Jasmine Moore.Confused, Charlie couldn’t help but wonder what Jasmine wanted from him.As the call went through, Jasmine spoke, “Mr. Wa
Jasmine had only told the truth. She really did think that the new chairman of Emgrand Group was a mysterious man.After all, he had been able to acquire a group that was worth over a hundred billion just because he wanted to. Moreover, he hadn’t shown his face at all throughout this process. It would seem that his net worth was much grander than that of Emgrand Group.In comparison, the Moore family would seem quite insignificant.However, she had not realized that the chairman of Emgrand Group was currently sitting in her passenger’s seat. Charlie, on the other hand, was a man who liked to keep things as low-profile as possible. Although he would dismissively respond to Jasmine, he never once revealed any information about his identity to her.In a fast but steady speed, they had arrived at a small garden near the river in just a few minutes. The garden was elegant and tranquil. On the outside, it seemed quite worn and crude, however, it was extremely grand on the inside. Fro
The fat man glanced at Travis before placing a simple wooden box onto the round table. Inside the box was a crimson red jade, seemingly an ancient treasure. As soon as the box was opened, everyone present felt as though the lobby had been filled with a hint of warm energy.Everyone’s eyes lit up.Jasmine turned to Quilt. “Uncle Quilt, what do you think?”Quilt stared at it and nodded. “I think it’s the real thing. It seems to be the Bloody Jade from the Zhou dynasty. It also appears to have been blessed by a very powerful monk!”Jasmine nodded and then turned to Charlie. “What do you think, Mr. Wade?”Charlie, on the other hand, scowled in disgust. “It’s a fake……” Quilt glowered at him. “You’re just a youngster, who gave you the right to lie through your teeth in front of this many people?” Matthew Gibson, the elderly man who was sitting next to Travis, opened his eyes and stared at the piece of jade. “May I hold it?”The fat man let out a cold laugh. “Mr. Gibson, are you kid
