Queenie's eyes were cold as steel. "But this man isn't going anywhere. Not even if your grandfather showed up himself."Mavis staggered, her face turning ghostly pale. She hadn't expected the Quadrata Society to be this brazen, to the point of not even fearing the Jefferson family. However, there was no way she could just stand by and watch Timothy get hurt right in front of her. Who could possibly help them now?At that moment, Timothy suddenly kicked over the table next to him and casually plopped himself onto the sofa. "I never planned on leaving," he said, his tone defiant. "Let my wife and the others go. Do whatever you want to me."Mavis froze, looking at Timothy, her expression shifting with a mix of emotions. Timothy didn't meet her gaze. Instead, he turned to look at Shauna and the now badly beaten Felix, who looked like a swollen pig. The two of them were pale with fear, completely terrified by the scene unfolding in front of them.Timothy let out a huff. "Get my wi
Shauna bit her lip, her face etched with a bitter expression. "But what could we have done if we stayed? We wouldn't have been any help. Besides, that guy took down over ten thugs by himself earlier—ordinary people can't handle him. He should be okay, right?"Felix, standing nearby, couldn't hide his glee. After being shown up by Timothy earlier, he was secretly hoping Timothy would get chopped into pieces. He sneered and said, "Don't get your hopes up. Anyone who causes trouble with the Quadrata Society, no matter how big their connections, ends up with their limbs hacked off and fed to the fish. Timothy? He won't live through the night.""Shut up, Felix!" Shauna suddenly screamed, slapping him hard across the face.Felix let out a yelp as his already swollen face puffed up even more. He clutched his cheek, staring at Shauna in disbelief. The next second, fury overtook him, and he grabbed her by the throat."Shauna, did you just fucking slap me?"Shauna was stunned, gasping in
On the other end of the line, Cassian was lounging in a lavish luxury suite at an extremely extravagant hotel. He was stretched out on a massive waterbed, with a seductive woman draped over him. Upon closer inspection, the woman bore a striking resemblance to a current popular celebrity in the entertainment world. She wore nothing, her cheeks flushed, eyes hazy with desire, and her breath came in soft gasps as they were in the midst of pleasure.Just then, Cassian's phone rang. The woman paused. Pouting, she said, "Cassian, your phone is ringing."Cassian, lost in the moment, suddenly snapped back to reality. Glancing at the screen, he quickly gestured for the woman to keep quiet and then answered the call in a soft, gentle tone. "Hey, Mavis, to what do I owe the pleasure of your call?"Mavis forced a small smile, saying, "Mr. Kramer, I need to ask you for a favor."Cassian smiled warmly, "No need to be so formal with me. Your problems are my problems. Just tell me what you need.
Cassian's expression stiffened, and he forced a bitter smile. "You're my sweetheart too. I care about you."Raina Lott rolled her eyes. "You only think of me when you want to do it. To you, I'm just your plaything. But Mavis? She's your goddess."Cassian's mood instantly soured. He got out of bed, the warmth in his eyes replaced by a cold, hard look. "Know your place. In my eyes, you're just an actress. So what if you're a star on TV? After being with so many men, do you really think you deserve to be anyone's goddess? "You're nothing but the fantasy of some losers. I gave you your career in the entertainment industry. That was the biggest favor I could give you, so don't push your luck!"Raina's face turned pale. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at Cassian, but she didn't dare say a word in response.Cassian shot her one last icy glance. "Get out. I have things to do."With bloodshot eyes and hurt feelings, Raina glanced at him one more time before hurriedly leaving
Timothy shrugged, and in the next second, he disappeared from where he stood.Yes, he disappeared. His speed was so fast that it seemed like he had vanished into thin air. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of one of the henchmen. With a slight smirk, he clenched his fist and punched the man's chest.His chest caved in instantly, his sternum shattering completely. It was as if he had been hit by a massive hammer. His body flew back, slamming into the wall, leaving a human-shaped dent. He slid down like a crumpled rag doll, lifeless.Before anyone else could react, Timothy sidestepped a swinging blade from behind. His large hand shot out, grabbing the wrist holding the knife, and with a powerful squeeze, bones cracked like firecrackers. The man's arm twisted into a grotesque shape, the bones snapping audibly. Bone fragments tore through his skin as blood splattered everywhere.The man's scream pierced through the room, deafening everyone around.Timothy tilted his head sli
Queenie's gaze slowly shifted from confusion to pure terror as she looked at Timothy. She had once dismissed him as a useless coward who needed women to shield him. How did he suddenly possess such a terrifying presence?Panting heavily, she asked, "Who… Who the hell are you?"Before her words could fully land, Timothy stepped forward. It seemed like just a casual step, but in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of her.Queenie's vision blurred as if a shadow had darted across her retina, and the next second, Timothy's cold, gray eyes were staring into hers.Suddenly, she was lifted off the ground, a crushing force wrapping around her neck. He had grabbed her by the throat and hoisted her into the air. His voice, low and menacing like a devil's whisper, sounded in her ear. "Tell me, what's your connection to Norgon?"Her pupils constricted, shock flashing across her face. How could Timothy know about Norgon?However, within seconds, Queenie gritted her teeth and sneered,
Timothy's eyes were sharp, fixed on Queenie's. "What did he make the Quadrata Society do?""He had us gather information on all the major forces in Lormford City and any family with assets over a billion. He also told us to keep a close eye on the movements of the six major families. "Plus, we were tasked with monitoring every auction and underground market in Lormford City. Oh, they also seem to be searching for an emerald pendant.""An emerald pendant?" Timothy frowned. What kind of emerald pendant could be so important that Norgon was desperately searching for it?Staring into Queenie's eyes, Timothy made sure she wasn't lying, then coldly asked, "Who else from Norgon is in Lormford City?""As far as I know, the only division Norgon has here is the Quadrata Society. I don't know about anyone else."Timothy took a drag from his cigarette, falling silent as his mind raced. Norgon was gathering information about all the local organizations and seeking out this emerald pendant.
"Why are you here?" Timothy looked down at the woman in his arms, Shauna, with a puzzled expression. Seeing her standing there dumbfounded, he frowned and asked, "How long are you planning to stay in my arms?"Shauna's face turned crimson as she quickly scrambled out of his embrace, flustered. She tried to calm her emotions, tucking her hair behind her ears before stammering with a flushed face, "I… I came to see if you were okay."Timothy rolled his eyes. "What could possibly happen to me? You came to laugh at me, didn't you?"Shauna froze for a second. The next moment, her eyes welled up with tears, catching Timothy completely off guard."Hey, what's wrong with you?" Timothy scratched his head, utterly baffled by her sudden reaction.A second later, Shauna, eyes red and brimming with tears, said, "Timothy, is that really what you think of me?""What now?" Timothy felt his scalp tingle, completely confused by Shauna's behavior. She seemed like a totally different person.Chokin
