Rosalie could not believe her luck. It felt like a dream that she had effortlessly obtained a 30 million dollar loan from Grand Horizon Bank, and the money was transferred right away.Once she got back to the office, she called Dustin. "Dustin, I managed to secure a 30 million dollar loan from Grand Horizon Bank.""That's amazing, Rosalie! I always knew you could do it."Rosalie sighed. "I don't think it was all me. Everything went so smoothly, as if someone was secretly helping me.""If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Holt might have had a hand in it. I heard that Mr. Lawson from Grand Horizon Bank owes Mr. Holt a big favor," Dustin suggested, trying to shift any suspicion away from himself."I see. No wonder Grand Horizon Bank treated me as their Prestige VIP. Sigh, we owe Mr. Holt another huge favor. Dustin, Mr. Holt has helped us so much already. We shouldn't trouble him anymore. We must be content with what we have," Rosalie said, feeling bad."No problem. By the way, Rosalie, can you
The man in the villa was the leader of the Serpent Gang, known as the "Tri-Serpent."After Lionel and Tri-Serpent finished their glasses of red wine, four thugs entered the room, bringing in Rosalie who was tied up.Lionel commanded, "Untie her."The four thugs followed his orders and released Rosalie from the ropes.Once she was free, Rosalie glared at Lionel with intense anger. "Lionel, so it was you all along!"Lionel sneered at her, "Now you see the difference between you two and me? Don't think that saving Mr. Holt makes you part of our circle."Hmph, you and your husband are nothing compared to me. I can easily destroy both of you."Go ahead, call that useless Dustin and ask Sebastian for help. Let's see if he can save you now."Lionel believed that even Sebastian would not dare to anger the Serpent Gang.Tri-Serpent glanced at Rosalie and asked, "Miss Simmons, do you know why we brought you here?"Rosalie snorted. "What do you want?"Tri-Serpent responded with a sinis
For a moment, both Tri-Serpent and Lionel were stunned. They had not expected Rosalie to attempt suicide by smashing her head against the wall. She was determined, that's for sure!However, they felt no sympathy nor any sadness. Their only concern was that her death would prevent them from further torturing her.They wanted to see her suffer and get a satisfactory revenge.Lionel blurted, "That bitch got off too easy."Tri-Serpent, the calmest among them, said, "Don't worry. She won't die just from hitting the wall. At most, she's concussed and unconscious."He waved his hand and sneered. "Guys, keep going. Dead or alive, we won't let her off.""Yes, boss!" The dozens of Serpent Gang thugs responded, approaching Rosalie once again with creepy grins. "Hey, beautiful, no one can save you today."They were heartless and did not care about Rosalie's injury.Rosalie was not unconscious but had a concussion, making her too weak to stand.As she saw the thugs approaching, she
In an instant, a feeling of imminent danger gripped everyone in the vicinity. It was as if a sharp blade had been pressed against their throats, causing their breath to hitch and their bodies to quiver.Tri-Serpant rose to his feet and bellowed, "What are you all waiting for? Get him! Take down this bastard! Whoever succeeds will be promoted to my right-hand man and receive a reward of $15,000!"Upon hearing the enticing promise of such a generous reward, the dozens of Serpent Gang thugs regained their courage. They shouted in unison, charging at Dustin with raised fists, underestimating him due to their overwhelming numbers.Undeterred by their assault, Dustin gently laid Rosalie on the ground and swiftly retrieved silver needles to administer acupuncture. In a matter of moments, he managed to staunch the bleeding from Rosalie's head.Meanwhile, the Serpent Gang thugs closed in on him. Leading the charge was a hulking figure resembling a gorilla, aiming a powerful punch straight a
Centra's Somme City International Airport in Murica was heavily guarded."What big shot is coming that a hundred thousand troops are deployed to receive them?""I heard it's the head of Vulcan Empire.""The legendary Vulcan? No wonder they made it so grand!"The crowd watching from a distance got excited immediately.To the public, Vulcan's status was on par with the leaders of powerful countries. Vulcan Empire was another name for the Vulcan Group, which was so powerful that it could influence the world's economy and politics. Hence, people dubbed it an empire.Although Vulcan Empire had branches all over the globe, its headquarters' location remained unknown. The chairman of Vulcan Empire was especially mysterious—no one knew his real name, his looks, or his age. The only thing the world knew was his nickname—Vulcan.At the airport, Supreme Four—Wardraco, Skywolfe, Scarletto, and Hawkden, watched the plane slowly descend with excitement. They were happy about Vulcan's return.Vulcan
Today was the 65th birthday of the Summers family's matriarch, Lillian. That evening, a grand birthday party was held at the Summers Residence, attended by at least half of Somme City's upper-class society.Around 8 PM, the previously bustling hall suddenly quieted down. Lillian slowly walked out, dressed to the nines, accompanied by a handsome and dignified young man."Madam Summers, I wish you happiness and health." The guests came forward to wish Lillian well."Thank you. Thank you." Lillian smiled and nodded slowly to the crowd."I present a coffin, wishing Madam Summers little happiness and imminent death." The untimely voice of a young man suddenly rang out.A huge wooden coffin then flew into the hall, landing heavily on the ground. Everyone's expressions instantly changed. Sending a coffin to Lillian's birthday party was equivalent to cursing her to die soon. They wondered who was bold enough to stir up trouble at Lillian's party.Lillian's face turned livid. Soon after, a h
After leaving the Summers Residence, Dustin got into Mateo's car. "Head to Oceania."As Mateo drove, he said, "Boss, I've arranged everything in Murica. Samuel Lonne is the head of our branch here. I've already informed him, and he'll be at your service from now on. He'll arrive in Oceania from Capital City in a few days."After a pause, Mateo continued, "Also, Tygan Donald, the leader of one of Oceania's top underworld organizations, Tygan Gang, is aware of your arrival. He's on standby 24/7 to help you."Dustin nodded. "Good." He did not say more but gazed out of the car window at the luminous moon in the night sky. A rare gentleness flickered in his eyes. "Rosalie, I'm back. You've suffered so much over the years. From now on, I won't let anyone bully you or look down on you. I'll make you happy every day, show you the finest in the world, and make you the happiest woman."Six years ago, Dustin was betrayed and hunted down by Lillian. Due to his loyal bodyguard's sacrifice, he narro
Maryanne could not bear it any longer. Her body trembled as if poisoned, and she eventually slumped to the ground.Dustin glared at Maryanne, his face terrifyingly angry. "You wet Queenie's pants with water, didn't you? You monster, there's no justice in this world if I don't kill you." With that, he lifted his right foot and ruthlessly stomped on Maryanne's left leg, instantly breaking it.Maryanne let out a piercing scream like a pig getting slaughtered."Don't kill me, I beg you. Don't kill me. It's Ms. Melissa Simmons who forced me to do this," Maryanne pleaded in panic.The second daughter of the Simmons family was called Melissa Simmons. She was the daughter of Rosalie's uncle, Kevin Simmons. The head of the Simmons family, Zachary Simmons, liked her very much. Jealous that Rosalie was not only prettier than herself but also better in every way, Melissa had bullied Rosalie since childhood. Now, she did not even spare Queenie."Queenie hadn't wet her pants for three days, so I cou
