Along the way, Montel could hardly contain his excitement. He gripped the steering wheel and wished he could fly to Cloudvale directly. Cloudvale was unpeaceful at this moment. The Tampa family found out that the young patriarch of the Zucker family would be visiting them. They were not excited but full of anxiety instead. “It has been three years, and they finally found us. We're so well hidden that no one should be able to find us! How did the Zucker family…” The elders of the Tampa family gathered to discuss this matter. What happened back then was still vivid in their minds. “Let’s put this aside until the Zucker family arrives. So what if they're good at fortune-telling? This is Cloudvale, our territory!” The patriarch of the Tampa family was somewhat displeased. He shuddered at the thought of the trouble he would face next. However, as the head of the family, he had to calm the other family members down. Thus, he held on and pretended to be disdainful. Sure enou
The father and son chatted and laughed in the study as if they had new plans for future development. Soon, Montel stopped his car in the Tampa family’s garage. Montel lamented them for being spendthrifts at the rows of luxury cars parked there. Although the Zucker family was wealthy too, they believed that all their money should be left for the Clarke family, so they lived frugally. Even the luxury cars they had were earned by doing business in secret over the years. The Clarke family had been kind to the Zucker family, so the latter had been repaying their kindness for generations. The Tampa family was no different from the Zucker family. They had both received help from the Clarke family, but their choices at critical moments were completely different. Some people chose loyalty while others chose betrayal. Montel did not know all these. He arrived at the Tampa family's reception hall, which looked spacious and bright, worthy of a wealthy aristocratic family. “You must
This guy's daughter had grown up so much in the blink of an eye. Philip felt a little emotional and was about to give the other party a sum of money for her living expenses when several voices rang behind him. “Hey, why didn’t you set up your stall today? Have you prepared the protection fee?” “Don’t hide in your house and pretend that you’re not there. You have to pay double the protection fee because of the delay this month. Hand over 5,000!” Hearing the punks’ remarks, the surrounding neighbors quickly shut their doors for fear of implication. The passersby also ran away for fear that these punks would target them for money. They were poor people living in slums and had no money to pay these punks a protection fee. At first, they would contact the police, and these people had been detained several times. However, after they were released, they acted as if nothing had happened and increased their efforts to look for the whistleblowers. In the end, everyone gave up, kn
Jenny was quite pretty and could be considered one of the top beauties in this average small town. Although she just reached adulthood, her figure had developed better than many adult women. Crusty and his underlings had set their eyes on Jenny for a while, but when Jenny’s father was around, they could not do anything. Now that Jenny's father was dead, they could hardly wait to take advantage of the situation. “You! I’ll never agree to this!” Jenny stepped back and grabbed the door handle, trying to close the door while the other party was not paying attention. She lived here alone and had to be careful. Philip felt very satisfied when Jenny rejected the other party decisively. He wanted to help, but now was not the right time. “Boys, go in and trash the place up. Throw away all the things she’d use to set up the stall. Let’s see how she can do business without those things!” At Crusty’s command, everyone sprang into action. They pushed Jenny aside and tried to barge
All of them had entered prison many times and were very familiar with the routine at the police station. It was no big deal to stay there for a few days and come out fresh again! They had a lot of time on their hands anyway. Philip smiled and comforted Jenny. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this. What kind of snacks do you sell? Go and prepare some for me.” Philip tried to send Jenny away. If a fight broke out later, the bloody scene would not be suitable for a girl like her. Jenny bit her lip at Philip’s gentle demeanor. “Mister…” She knew that the man in front of her was her father's acquaintance. Now that her father had passed away, the man did not have to help her. These punks were very good at fighting, while this guy looked like a scholar. Could he beat the punks? Moreover, he would be in big trouble if he messed with such punks! “Go on, leave this to me.” Philip smiled and patted Jenny on the head. He turned around and stood in front of Jenny, giving her enou
Jenny was on tenterhooks as she prepared some mashed potatoes for Philip. When she looked up and saw this scene, she laughed out loud. At the sound of Jenny's clear and melodious laughter, Crusty felt as if he had lost all dignity as a man. He angrily fished out a blade and rushed at Philip. He just wanted to teach this ignorant man a lesson at first, but it seemed that it would be a fight to the death now. “You son of a bitch, I’m going to kill you today!” Crusty roared and rushed toward Philip. Philip unhurriedly grabbed Crusty’s right hand that was holding the knife and exerted some force. Philip crushed Crusty's wrist, and the blade fell to the ground. Miserable screams that echoed throughout the building followed. After years of roaming the streets, Crusty had never been humiliated like this! He clutched his broken wrist in pain, at a loss for what to do. “This is simply horrific!” The other two punks trembled at this scene. Very soon, a stinky smell wafted over.
Philip looked at the three punks rolling in the corridor and snorted. He said, “If you want to stay alive, get out of my sight. Don't let me see you again.” “O-Okay, we’ll leave right away!” the three quickly replied in fear. After this beating, their fear of Philip was over the top. Even though their legs were broken, they had to get out of there even if they had to crawl! The neighbors saw this scene through their windows. They looked at the young man in stunned silence, surprised that he was so powerful. The doors opened one after another, and the neighbors began to applaud. They cursed the punks and praised Philip. As Philip entered her shabby apartment, Jenny felt an inferiority complex. “Thank you for helping me just now. If not for you, I can’t imagine what would've happened.” Jenny thanked Philip from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, she was grateful that her father was so smart to have met such a powerful and handsome guy. He saved her life at a criti
Philip did not expect so many things to have happened in this duration. Who exactly betrayed him, the Clarke family, and even harmed his good buddy? “Do you know how that person is?” Jenny trembled at Philip’s sudden serious tone. “I only know that the other party was referred to as some king? I didn’t hear the details clearly. My father didn’t let me get involved in such things.” Jenny told Philip everything she knew. Although Philip roughly knew what Fenrir had gone through, he still could not identify the person who wanted to harm Fenrir. “My father has served the young patriarch of the Clarke family all his life. He once told me that he and the young patriarch of the Clarke family have a very good relationship. Even my mother and I cannot hold a candle to the other party! "I want to know who this person is to make my father so fanatical about him!” At this point, Jenny got a little agitated and seemed to have a lot of opinions about this young patriarch. Philip sm
