So, that was a good sign.Panther laughed and nodded. "Yes, they found the car that fetched him and confirmed that he was inside. Besides Ted, there was a driver and a bodyguard or friend, but it doesn't matter! Even with three people, we can handle them easily."Panther's right-hand man immediately congratulated him.Panther couldn't conceal his joy. "It was sheer luck, but luck is exactly what I needed, haha! It's a very good sign. Something tells me that this trip to Eastport is going to go swimmingly.""Boss, should we inform Ms. Lambert about this? We should let them know the good news so they can celebrate!"Panther paused, then nodded. "Call Josie, that assistant of hers, and explain simply. No need to get into the details, just tell her we've found the target. Let them know I'll go get him myself once we get to Eastport. Also, ask if Ms. Lambert has any other instructions."His right-hand man immediately nodded with a smile and dialed Josie's number.At that moment, Josi

Panther's words put a small frown on Luna's face.Frankly, she preferred to sever ties with Panther, but sometimes, choice was an illusion—certain tasks were unavoidable, and some people couldn't be avoided. In reality, Panther had helped her out considerably."Tell me what it is. If I can help you, I will."And so, Panther shared his concerns with Luna. He spoke of them lightly, as if they were a simple task for her, anything involving someone of Pantera's status was never straightforward."So you're saying that Pantera hasn't done anything yet, but you were concerned that he would take offense by naming yourself Panther… You want me to use my connections to mediate and put your mind at ease?"Luna chuckled. As expected, there was always someone higher up the pecking order. Even the ruthless Panther of Melville, feared by many, had someone he feared himself. For something so trivial, too. Even the thought of it was hilarious to Luna.Despite Pantera being much younger, the mere

Luna smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing like that, just a small favor. Of course, if he plays his part well, I wouldn't mind putting in a good word for him. Whether the Whites help depends on his luck… Though in all honesty, I do hope for their intervention to resolve this issue. It's really quite trivial, but I can tell it carries immense weight in his heart—it's a matter of life and death for him. If I help him, he'll be completely loyal to me in the future."Luna had her own plans, after all, and Panther would be a decently useful pawn. She couldn't just go to the Whites or Jimmy for every trivial inconvenience, could she? She needed her own pawns, ones that would be at her complete disposal.Panther was a solid choice. He had a foundation, influence, and was remarkably vicious and robust. More importantly, now that understood Panther's deepest fear, he basically had him on a leash.Hearing this, Josie didn't have much to comment on it either."So what do we do, Ms. Lamber

"What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear me? Or are you thinking about how uncharitable of a person I am?"Ted immediately knew that Wolfie was insulting him in his heart, so he called him out with a cold sneer.Wolfie instantly snapped to attention, hurriedly getting out of the car to carry out Ted's instructions.Whether Ted was genuinely kind or just pretending, one thing was certain—he was never lenient with Wolfie. Until Mr. Zarkonnen's trust in Ted had completely eroded, Wolfie had no choice but to tread carefully around him.Seeing that the driver still hadn't moved yet, Ted frowned. "Drive. Don't wait for him. He'll come find me once he's done."If even Wolfie obeyed Ted without question, there was no reason for a mere driver to hesitate.And so, the car continued toward Charity Hearts.Meanwhile, there was a car following behind Ted's car.Inside were two young men in their twenties—subordinates of Panther, stationed in Eastport.“One of them just got off. No

To put it bluntly, some people would actually be happy if Pantera continued being vegan and spent a few more years cultivating his temper. That way, Easton's underworld would finally have some peace.Shortly thereafter, the car stopped in front of a courtyard exuding antique charm. Above the doorway, the words Charity Hearts were carved in wood. Judging by its appearance, the building was over a century old, and it occupied an extensive plot of land.Ted got out of the car, but instead of immediately entering Charity Hearts, he turned toward a smaller courtyard on the right—Charity Hearts Orphanage.The orphanage wasn't exactly picturesque, but it was comfortable, decorated with rock gardens, fountains, grassy lawns, and trees. Two villas served as the living area for the orphans and the staff, while a slightly larger single-story building nearby functioned as the orphanage's cafeteria.Though there were no security guards stationed at the gates, staff members routinely questioned

Wolfie walked to Ted and smiled. "Mr. York, I've bought the things you asked."Ted nodded and turned to the kids, bursting into laughter. "Come on kids! I've bought you lots of toys and snacks. Let's take a look!"The children erupted in cheers, jumping with joy.For them, this was everything they needed to be happy.How pure and adorable.Watching the kids excitedly crowd around the orphanage staff, eagerly asking for their toys, Ted chuckled softly and said, "Look, aren't they adorable? To think they were abandoned, what kind of monsters would abandon these angels?"The children at the orphanage were either orphans or abandoned as infants. It was understandable that they'd end up here if their parents passed away, but what about the children who were abandoned at birth? Who was responsible for their fate?Wolfie glanced at Ted, who seemed to be getting emotional, and he suddenly remembered something Mr. Zarkonnen told him. If he remembered correctly, this man, whose true ident

Tenzin blinked in confusion before he shook his head apologetically. "Sorry, Mr. York. Perhaps you're not aware, but the Charity Abode has never been open to the public."Wolfie, seeing this as an opportunity to prove himself, blurted out, "What do you mean by not open to the public? How can you refuse to serve guests when you're operating a business? Isn't it just a private room? What, are you going to divide your customers into different ranks? Enough talk, just open those doors! Were our donations today not enough for you to let us eat a meal there?"Wolfie thought he was proving his worth, but he didn't see how Ted's expression quickly darkened behind him.Meanwhile, Tenzin's gaze became cold as well, and it was clear he didn't fear Wolfie in the slightest."Sir, Charity Abode has never been open to the public, and this has been the rule since the establishment of Charity Hearts. If you think that you can manipulate us just because you made some donations, then you're sorely mi

"I-It's you! You're here! I'll go open the Charity Abode at once!"Tenzin, who had remained calm and indifferent in the face of Wolfie’s threats, now looked as if he had just met a deity. His eyes welled with tears, and he was visibly shaking with excitement.Wolfie watched all this happen, dumbstruck. All Ted had done was say a bunch of things that didn't make sense, and Tenzin's attitude changed immediately.What happened to not opening the doors to the Charity Abode?What happened?Ted nodded. "I don't want too many people to know about this yet, so you know what to do, don't you?"Tenzin nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, I do. Please, right this way."He then proceeded, leading the way with a distinctly bowed posture, as if standing straight in Ted's presence would be an act of blasphemy.Quickly enough, they arrived at the Charity Abode. The room itself wasn't furnished to be any more lavish or extravagant than the others but instead looked even simpler. However, it possess

Considering how much Ted tormented him, it was really anyone's guess.Curious, Wolfie asked, "What is this old acquaintance of yours doing now? You two must have been close, for you to remember him like this?"Ted was silent for a while, before he softly replied, "He died. It was for my sake, in a sense, but also because he went off on his own accord. I wasn't strong enough, back then, and he wanted to help me solve a problem I had, so he acted without my permission and went on the offense by himself. In the end, he walked straight into an ambush, and… He didn't even leave behind a complete corpse."Ah, no wonder Ted was acting like that.No wonder he was talking so much to Wolfie. He was thinking about his fallen friend, caught up in nostalgia, and seeing a shadow of that person in Wolfie.Was this kindness?Wolfie wasn't sure, but there was one thing he really wanted to ask."Then… Did you avenge him?"He didn't ask who the enemy was, what problems led up to that point, nor h

Noticing the fear in Wolfie's eyes, Ted smiled gently. "Ah, did I scare you? Did you believe all that? Haha, it seems that my lying skills haven't become rusty."What?He was lying?Wolfie was completely stunned. That heartfelt story just now… Was all just a lie?He started doubting himself. Was he too much of an idiot, or was Ted simply too cunning?Then, was he lying about lying, too?Wolfie wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and let out a dry chuckle, not daring to say a word.He didn't know if the man in front of him was truly lying, or whether the story was true, but he was sure about one thing. The murderous aura from earlier, the bloodlust that filled the room, wasn't something that could be faked.Someone who emanated that kind of aura so effortlessly was definitely more terrifying than he could ever imagine.One thing was certain: He absolutely couldn't afford to offend Ted.At that moment, Ted smiled. "Open the door. We have a guest."Wolfie was confused. A g
