Alaric was an extremely mercenary person who would succumb to the powerful and do anything for his interests. Based on the fact that he had downgraded him without knowing who he is, Derek would definitely not let him continue working for the bathhouse.He dislikes people who look down on others just because they are in a position of power.Alaric was naturally unwilling to leave. Although he was just the manager of the bathhouse, whose salary was not high and authority was limited, he could gain a lot of benefits.If he left this job, he wouldn’t be able to find another one comparable to this, especially since he was already old.Immediately, Alaric dropped to his knees in front of Derek. “Mr. Brook , it was all my fault. Please give me another chance! I guarantee that I will never do anything wrong again! I have a family to feed. If you fire me, my family will not be able to make ends meet!”Alaric was weeping miserably and trying to play the victim card. Derek was well aware of what

The young man was Fangio, whom Blade had appointed to be in charge of the Ephemeral Bathhouse. Fangio had worked with Blade for a long time, and he was competent in handling matters as well. His capability was the reason that Blade had decided to make him the manager of this place.But he had always worked in a poker room previously and so didn’t know Culhane .“What? He sold it?!” Culhane asked in disbelief.A wave of fury immediately surged in his heart. “Who is Nathan Alvin to sell this bathhouse?! Damn it. Get Nathan Alvin to come out here. I want to question him. What gave him the guts to sell the property of the Taylors?!”Cullhane grabbed Fangio by his collar and glared at him as if he was about to swallow up.Fangio began stumbling on an unsteady gait while feeling furious.As a longtime worker at a casino, he naturally had some considerable strength. He grabbed Cullhane ’s wrist, squeezed it hard, and then twisted it forcefully with a loud crack. Overwhelmed by the excrucia

The bodyguards that protected Culhane were all experts that the Taylors had spent a lot of money to hire. Fangio definitely wouldn’t be able to take the punch. He would at least be severely injured, and in the worst-case scenario, he would die!Feeling the gust of wind blown up by the swing of his fist on his face, Fangio couldn’t help but close his eyes while thinking to himself in agony that he might die today!Suddenly, a phantom-like figure appeared beside Fangio. Before the bodyguard’s fist could strike Fangio, the bodyguard was sent flying by a sudden kick!The bodyguard was instantly smashed through the glass door of the Ephemeral Bathhouse and landed far away in the middle of the road. He even almost got run over by a passing car.Everyone watched with their eyes wide open, dumbfounded and unable to react.They jolted back to their senses in horror only after hearing the screech of the tires of the car that had come to an abrupt stop and the curses of the driver who had slamme

The encounter Culhane had was the most humiliating experience in his entire life. Being insulted by such a young punk was simply akin to the prestige of Taylors being trampled all over by him repeatedly!The most infuriating thing was that the young punk actually snatched the Ephemeral Bathhouse away from them!Culhane didn’t believe that Kevin dared to betray the Taylors and sell the Ephemeral Bathhouse to someone else of his own accord. Back then, the Taylors had legally appointed Kevin to be the person in charge of the Ephemeral Bathhouse because they could tell that he wasn’t too ambitious and was instead a little cowardly and extremely scrupulous toward the Taylors. So they thought that he definitely wouldn’t dare to betray them.But now that Kevin had fled, Cullhane was certain that Derek must have coerced and even threatened Kevin into signing the transfer contract.It didn’t matter that Kevin had fled. But the fact that the Ephemeral Bathhouse, the dirty business secretly ran

The moment Ava heard someone call her, she squinted a little to glance at the young man before closing her eyes again immediately. She muttered, “Derek, let’s hurry and head back home!”The young man’s expression instantly became hostile.One reason was that Ava was actually lying so intimately in the arms of another man and completely ignoring him!The second was that she even told this man to hurry and head back home.Go home?! What home? Whose home?!Immediately enraged and full of fury, the young man walked over and grabbed Ava’s arm.“Ava, I’m Xander Von! Don’t you recognize me?” the young man said, refusing to give up.Xander Von… Hearing his name, Derek pursed his lips.Ava cursed at him in his head. Her plan was going well at first, but Xander just had to interfere and sabotage her plan. Besides, Xander was someone she utterly detested.But she had to pretend as if she just recognized him and spoke as if she had only come to a realisation now. “Oh, it’s you, Xander. Are you he
