"Who is Larry?" Timothy asked.The man opened his mouth, life rapidly draining from his body. His pupils slowly lost focus. "Larry Babcock… He's… the boss of Blackgeld… I've told you everything… Save me…"Timothy nodded. Then, he broke into a grin. "Sorry, I can't save you. But I can give you a quick death."He patted the man's face, which was now filled with despair and fear. In the next moment, he stood up and stomped hard on his neck.A sickening crack echoed, followed by a faint mist of blood that dissipated into the air.Timothy then kicked the fuel tank cover, breaking it open. Gasoline began to spill everywhere. He took out a lighter and tossed it onto the car—flames instantly engulfed everything.After that was done, Timothy got back into his car and drove away.As he sped down the highway, Mavis slowly opened her eyes. At first, she was in a daze, but in the next second, terror washed over her face. Instinctively, she glanced toward the back of the car.Timothy smiled.
Timothy frowned upon hearing Shauna's words. "What does that have to do with anything?""Of course it matters! Mavis and I are like sisters. If that guy isn't destined for me, I'll introduce him to Mavis. That's still way better than having her stick with a broke and tasteless guy like you," Shauna jeered.As they were about to start arguing again, Mavis quickly intervened, "Alright, Shauna. That's enough. Why don't you go by yourself? I'm not going.""No way! You must come. I'm already at the bar. I'll wait for you at the entrance. If you don't come, you're not my bestie anymore!" Shauna said with a huff.Mavis smiled helplessly. "Alright, alright. I'll head over now.""That's more like it!" Shauna's mischievous voice trailed off as she hung up. Mavis glanced at Timothy. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why don't you come along too?"Timothy found it amusing. "What made you want to bring me along this time?"Mavis' face turned slightly red. "There are too many men at a
The woman wore a crimson dress with her hair styled in loose waves. Her facial features were strikingly beautiful and captivating. Her fair legs were elegantly crossed, exuding a sense of regal allure. At a glance, she looked like a cold and dignified queen.Timothy nodded and thought to himself that, based on the air the woman in red was exuding, she was definitely not some ordinary person.Just then, the woman seemed to notice Timothy's gaze and turned her eyes toward him. Their eyes met, but Timothy didn't shy away. He looked back at her with a playful smile on his lips.The woman was taken aback. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes—it was the first time a man had dared to look her in the eye like that.She gave Timothy a slight smile before shifting her gaze away."Interesting." Timothy took a drag of his cigarette, his gaze lingering on the woman's figure. It was the first time he felt this intrigued by a woman.At that moment, Shauna returned. As soon as she sat down, s
Mavis had only put on some light makeup. Her face was so exquisite that it looked like God had personally sculpted it himself. Dressed in an elegant gown, she radiated an indescribable grace like a celestial being.Felix's gaze lingered greedily on her body for several moments before he finally swallowed hard and asked, "And who is this beautiful lady?"Mavis glanced at him indifferently. She had noticed the look in Felix's eyes as he ogled her. So, she frowned and didn't respond.Shauna, however, chimed in with a smile, "She's my best friend. Isn't she gorgeous?"Felix's eyes were practically glued to Mavis. He cleared his throat and straightened his clothes before smiling warmly at her."Hey, pretty lady. Let me introduce myself. My name is Felix Zackson. My family is in the construction materials business. We don't have much, but our assets are worth a few billion dollars. What's your name?"As Felix said this, he wore a smug expression. He seemed expectant as he gauged Mavis'
The wine bottle shattered instantly, sending shards of glass and splashes of wine everywhere.The man's head was instantly covered in blood. He clutched it, crying out in pain.Felix sneered viciously, "Get lost! If you don't leave now, I'll make sure you can't walk out of this bar tonight!"The man gritted his teeth and shot a resentful look at Felix. "Fine! Just you wait!"With that, he turned and left. Felix scoffed and turned to Shauna and Mavis with a smile. "Don't worry about him. Let's keep drinking. As long as I'm here, no man would dare disrespect either of you."Shauna bit her lip and smiled awkwardly, "Felix, it wasn't necessary to hit him. He was quite polite."Felix replied dismissively, "He looked like trouble. Guys like that only understand violence."Shauna sighed and shook her head, unsure of what else to say.With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Timothy blew out a puff of smoke and murmured to himself, "These days, pretending to be the tough guy is a bad
Timothy glanced at her indifferently and asked, "Why couldn't it be me?"Shauna was left speechless. After a moment, she bit her lip and looked at Timothy with a complicated mix of emotions.This man she had always looked down on, whom she considered worthless… turned out to be the hero from that day. To think that he was the person she had idolized! For a moment, Shauna couldn't quite grasp what she felt. It seemed so ridiculous and unbelievable—she felt like she was dreaming.Upon noticing Timothy's gaze on her, Shauna looked away evasively. "Why… Why didn't you say so earlier?"Timothy's tone remained aloof as he questioned, "Would you have believed me if I did? In your eyes, I'm just a coward who hides behind others when trouble comes, right?"Shauna's face burned with humiliation. The words she had spoken earlier now felt like heavy slaps to her own cheeks. She never imagined that her hero would turn out to be Timothy. She had witnessed his actions that day with her own e
Shauna became lost in her own thoughts. She chastised herself inwardly, "Shauna, you've gone crazy! How could you be interested in someone who comes from a family that picks up trash for a living? How could you blush in front of him?""Shauna. Shauna?"Suddenly, she heard Mavis' voice, and it snapped her out of her thoughts.Shauna finally realized that her glass had been empty for a while. Yet, she had been holding it to her lips, which made her look absolutely ridiculous. She snapped out of it and hastily set down the glass. Mavis looked at her curiously. "Shauna, what were you thinking about?""N-Nothing… Let's just drink!" Shauna tried to conceal her embarrassment with a smile. Timothy glanced at her, finding her reaction quite amusing.Just then, there was a commotion nearby, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. The crowd at the bar parted, and a group of people approached aggressively.The leader was a middle-aged man in a black suit. His expression was grim, and
Felix's words somehow managed to intimidate Nelson and the others. Nelson waved his hand, and his subordinates instantly stopped, exchanging uncertain glances.Upon seeing this, Felix suddenly felt a surge of confidence. He pushed Nelson aggressively and shouted arrogantly, "What's the matter? Come on, try and touch me! If you so much as lay a finger on me, my dad will have you and your entire crew wiped out by tonight. Go ahead, try me!"Nelson's expression darkened instantly. Being shoved around in front of so many people was mortifying. Still, he merely responded by shooting Felix an icy glare.He wasn't a reckless person. Felix's arrogance caused him to wonder if he was truly the son of some bigshot in the city. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to be this brazen.And so, Nelson decided that a better course of action was to confirm Felix's identity first. After giving Felix a frosty glare, Nelson signaled his men to back off and leave.The people in the bar looked at Felix with newf
