Thea was so anxious she almost burst into tears, but James looked completely unbothered.He had hit Zach and knocked over a few clothes racks. Even the manager had arrived.The manager of the boutique was a woman in her thirties. She was pretty with an oval face and black hair, wearing a sexy professional dress.“M-Mr. Smith.”Seeing Zach, she bowed respectfully.Zach, who was waiting for Samson at the lounge, glanced at the manager. His eyes lit up when he saw how pretty she was. However, she could not hold a candle to Thea, who was sitting opposite him. He lost interest in the manager at once. Mildly, he said, “Do you know me?”“Yes. I saw you from afar at a banquet once.” The manager, Miranda Larson, said respectfully.Zach nodded lightly. Looking at an anxious Thea seated opposite him, he asked Miranda, “How much are the damaged clothes worth? Get him to compensate you.”“Mr. Smith, I’ve made the calculations. He dirtied eighteen clothes in total. All of them are worth more

Everyone’s mouth hung open in shock.Thea stood rooted to the spot. It was a while before she managed to respond.Quickly, she helped York up, saying, “Mr. Smith, wh-what are you doing? Please get up.”“Ms. Thea, please forgive us. Please have mercy on my useless nephew.”James said coldly, “He asked Thea to keep him company for three days.”“What?”York flew into a rage once more.He was so angry he got up, searching for something. His eyes landed on a wooden chair. He grabbed it and slammed it into Zach’s lower body.“Ah…”Moans of pain echoed through the boutique.Blood pooled at Zach’s crotch.It was so painful he fainted!Xena, whose face was bloodied, was so scared she turned pale. She kept retreating, crying all the while.Everyone staggered backward as well as they were all frightened.What just happened was ruthless!Zach was now crippled!After that, York knelt again. “Ms. Thea, does this please you?”Thea had paled as well. Instinctively, she stepped backwar

Thea was not happy about Yuna insulting James.“My husband isn’t a nobody.”“Isn’t he?” Yuna smiled. “I’ve heard all about him. Your family picked him for you. He doesn’t have a job. All he does is sweep and cook at home, relying on the Callahans to feed him. He used to pick you up from work at Eternality with his electric motorcycle. It’s a popular joke in Cansingon now.”“Keep talking and I’ll leave.” Thea looked unhappy.“Alright, I was just joking,” Yuna apologized at once.It looked like Thea was very much in love with James. It would be hard to create a wedge between them.She changed the topic. “Which clothes do you like? Just pick them out and I’ll give them to you. With your amazing figure and beautiful looks, anything would look good on you.”Thea’s unhappy look dissipated. However, she could afford the clothes. She did not want Yuna’s charity.With Yuna’s help, she selected a form-fitting white dress.She liked the color white.It represented purity.When she pa

Upon finding out that, in addition to The Great Four, underworld forces were also involved in the destruction of the Cadens, James’ face darkened.Henry immediately got to making arrangements.It was a simple matter as he was an individual of high status.Not long after, arrangements had been made.“James, I’ve arranged for us to meet Jake Graham at the People’s Repair Shop in the suburbs tonight.”“Got it.” James nodded.“James, we know that Jake Graham is involved in intelligence trading, and his prices are exorbitant. Should we bring some cash with us?”James glanced at Henry and asked, “Henry, for how long have you been working under me?”Henry replied, “About eight years.”“Indeed, it has been eight years. You should know me. Would I need money to deal with the honcho of a turf?”“You’re right.”James looked at the time—it was only seven o’clock. Getting to the suburbs required an hour by car.Tonight would be a long night.He took his phone out and called Thea.“The

The underground chamber was not big; it was only around fifty square meters.To its sides were stone walls, and to its front and back were only iron doors.The door from which they had just entered was already locked.The iron door to the front was closed, and a black curtain prevented them from seeing what was going on behind the door.Upon seeing the locked door, Scarlett frowned slightly and looked at James. “James, this is…?”James waved her off lightly. “It’s alright. We’ll wait.”He had been through great ordeals. Why would he be worried about a mere local turf honcho?Though James was calm, Scarlett was anxious.Although she had interacted with the triad world, she was still a grave robber and had no experience in dealing with these people.“James, Henry, everything will be fine, right?” Her face was beaded with sweat. Along the way here, she had noticed how heavily fortified this place was. She counted at least a hundred mercenaries armed to the teeth.Henry tried com
