The crowd's gazes went back and forth between Titus and Curtis.One was the heir of the Lake family's first branch, while the other was the heir of the Lake family's second branch.Both represented the Lake family, but they were currently at loggerheads.Curtis looked murderously at Titus and said, "Titus, what do you want?""Curtis, don't you know what I want?"Titus raised his eyebrows and added, "Are you going to endure Uncle Kennedy being humiliated on his 50th birthday?"Titus jumped out and confronted Curtis on the spur of the moment.Once Kennedy was gone, Titus was not afraid of Curtis, who was the so-called heir of the Lake family.Without Kennedy here to intimidate him, Titus would not make it easy for Curtis."Hmph! Of course, it won't end there!"This is my family's business. It has nothing to do with you. If you really care about my father, shut up!"Curtis snorted coldly as he glared at Titus more and more hostilely.Titus wanted to say a few more words to ang
However, there were so many people present, and each of them was of noble class. Even if he was the heir of the Lake family, he could not give the middle-aged man a hard time. He could only nod and let him leave.Seeing Curtis nod, the middle-aged man got up and left without hesitation."Mr. Lake! I suddenly remembered that the gas at my home seemed to be left on. I must hurry back and check it out!""Ah! Yes! I f*cking forgot to pick my daughter up from school! I've got to get my daughter! Mr. Lake, I gotta go first!""Gosh, you all made up excuses pretty quickly! I just got a f*cking call from my friend that my wife is cheating on me. I have to catch her!"...With the middle-aged man taking the lead, more and more people left in a hurry after giving various stranger and stranger reasons.Curtis' expression turned ghastly, understanding what these people were thinking.The Lake family dominated Ocean City at first, so the crowd naturally tried their best to be friendly with t
"Mr. Lake, don't mention it! If there's anything we can do for you, ask Old Master Lake to let us know, and we'll do it!""Yes! Sean and his gang may be capable, but they're nothing compared to the Lake family. We believe that Old Master Lake will be able to crush these people soon!""Hmph! Theodore and Micheal already have one foot in the grave, yet they got involved in this. Are they not scared of putting their lives at risk?""Who knows what kind of drugs Sean gave the three of them to gang up on the Lake family, but they're delusional to take on the Lake family!"...Hearing Curtis' speech, everyone present looked excited as they patted their chests and assured Curtis.Although they were tied to the Lake family, the Lake family had never taken them seriously.In the Lake family's opinion, they shared the same status as the Lake family's pet dogs.However, if they took on Sean and the others with the Lake family this time and succeeded, the Lake family's opinion of them woul
"What? You're the heir of the Lake family's second branch, yet Sean's subordinate is your teacher?"Aaron raised his eyebrows as he exclaimed.The Lake family's second branch was not as powerful as the Lake family's first branch, but their power was nothing ordinary dignitaries could compare to.Aaron was surprised to learn that his son had made the employee of a security firm his teacher."Yeah, Dad. Didn't I already tell you about Mr. Young's abilities?"He's a true expert. After I learn it, I'll beat Curtis up every time I see him!"Titus said casually, unaware that Aaron had gotten angry.Aaron was about to yell at his son when Trenton suddenly stopped him."Aaron, the only way we can take down Kennedy is through Sean and his gang."Since Titus has taken a teacher, it would be nice for him to learn something and strengthen our bond with Sean."If we ever need their help, it'll be easier when Titus is friends with them!"Trenton said solemnly.Hearing that, Aaron calmed
Curtis walked into the Lake family's manor with five heavyset men at night."Dad, they're here."Curtis said to Kennedy, who was sitting in the living room.Kennedy was sitting just as Curtis did when he left. It was as if time had stopped passing on this man.Kennedy slowly opened his eyes, looked at the group of five, and asked faintly, "Are you okay?"These five were the five strongest people in Lake Security Services, but they were all currently in bandages, looking miserable."I'm fine. These minor injuries don't require us to stay at the hospital. Just let them heal slowly!""Yes, Optimus Security Services' staff are strong, but they didn't go all the way. We only suffered minor injuries. They're no big deal!""Old Master Lake, you called us here late at night. Is there something you want us to do?"...Everyone spoke up, but Carter was the only one who kept quiet.He glared at the other four people. His eyes seemed to say they were all fine except him.He had an old
The next second, his pupils constricted as if he had realized something surprising.Without thinking much, Sean pulled out his phone to call Zander.The call was answered in just two seconds."Find Daniel and the others immediately. Then, go to Davis Residence, Carver Residence, and Quartz Residence. The Lake family might do something to them!"Without giving Zander a chance to speak, Sean quickly said.Then, Sean immediately hung up and walked out of the office.Carter saw a figure emerge from Optimus Security Services, and worry flickered in his eye.However, the worry in his eyes instantly vanished when he saw who it was. Instead, there was excitement.Sean was the one Kennedy wanted to go after.He thought that as the boss of Optimus Security Services, Sean must be protected by several Optimus members. Unexpectedly, the huge Optimus Security Services building turned out to be empty, and Sean seemed to be the only one there."It's my lucky day!"Those fools asked me to do
"Huff... Huff..."Carter's face reddened. He could only gasp when he tried to breathe.He moved his limbs wildly, desperately trying to free himself from Sean's hands, but they would not budge.This extreme fear was far greater than the fear Daniel had given him at Greenview Hotel.Carter slowly gave up struggling and looked at Sean with pleading eyes as if he wanted Sean to spare his life.Sean smiled and let go.Plop..."Huff... Huff..."Carter fell to the ground, gasping for air as if he wanted to suck in all the air."Next, I'll ask the questions, and you'll answer them."He heard Sean's indifferent voice.Carter dared not hesitate. He hurriedly nodded and said, "Mr. Lennon, ask away. I'll tell you anything I know!"He dared not disobey the man before him.If it were a few seconds later, he would have suffocated from lack of oxygen."Did Kennedy send you?"Sean asked.Carter replied without hesitation, "Yes, the rest and I were at the hospital, but Kennedy suddenly
Sean ignored him, only continuing to drag him deeper.Carter glared murderously at Sean."Since you want me to die, you can forget about having it easy!"Carter roared, suddenly bursting into a rage despite his injuries.Sean did not even look at Carter. He only kicked him.Thump!The terrible force instantly hit Carter, and he shot out like a cannonball.Thud!There was another thud, and Carter landed on the bars of his cell.Then, Carter spat a mouthful of blood and fell limp to the ground."Can't you be obedient? Do you have to get yourself killed?"Sean asked.He then opened a cell door and locked Carter in it.Sean did not even care if that kick would kill Carter. He only turned around and walked out.The nearly unconscious Carter saw Sean walking into the distance. He raised his hand to ask for help but eventually, it fell feebly.Clang!With the basement door closed, the whole basement became dark.There were creepy sobs in the dark.After settling Carter, Sean
