Maynard had once met the three Edric brothers at a party when Clitus Connor from the Connor family had just returned from abroad. In the world of wealthy young masters throughout Elysian Echo, Maynard considered himself top-notch. However, compared to Clitus Connor, despite coming from similar backgrounds, there was a clear gap in individual capabilities and influence; he was far behind Clitus. In the past period, when Clitus had just returned from abroad, he brought with him a formidable group of overseas enforcers, swaggering around like an unchallenged dragon. He even brazenly declared that within a month, he would unify the underworld of Elysian Echo City. No one dared to challenge him, and he started off by holding a knife to the throat of the renowned Richard of Zenith Vista, as if trying to intimidate others by showing off his power. Unexpectedly, Clitus, a dragon who had seen much bloodshed overseas, with money, power, and people, and backed by the powerful Connor family, fe

Jethro gritted his teeth, not saying anything, his face filled with pain. "What's wrong? Are you still hesitating? Do you not care about the life and death of your friend's mother?" Uri asked tauntingly: "And I'm curious, who's paying you so much that you're willing to swallow the Charlie family's fortune and still protect him?" "Are you only loyal to that guy, of sacrificing your own mother's life? All for the sake of protecting the person behind you?" Uri sneered. Jethro gave a cold laugh, his voice low: "Do you think I'll be pardoned if I sign this contract? Ha ha. Don't think I'm stupid!" With the kind of morality the Charlie family had, they would do everything they could to uproot him completely. After years of toiling and suffering for the Charlie family, all he received was the wife's infidelity. Now that they've kidnapped his sixty-year-old mother, will the Charlie family let him go? Bang! Uri rushed forward and slapped Jethro in the face, shouting fiercely: "Beat him f

"Mr. Jake, the guy at the door downstairs, has taken care of everything." At that moment, a middle-aged man with a stern face dressed in a white martial arts outfit walked into the office. He was followed by a dozen men in black, each with an imposing aura that could crush the Uri gang. Theophilus nodded coolly and said: "Edric, take Uri's gang and leave. Then, drive to find Zahal." "Yes, Mr. Jake!" Edric respectfully nodded and waved his hand. The bodyguards quickly pulled the Uri gang out of the room. "Jethro, I'll hand Uri over to you when we rescue my mother. You can deal with him as you please." Theophilus said indifferently. "Yes, Mr. Jake! Thank you!" Jethro was excited and enthusiastic. Uri realized the situation as soon as he saw Edric enter the room. He immediately understood that he was in trouble. Even Edric called Theophilus "Mr. Jake" and followed his orders? Uri originally planned to seek revenge with Zahal's help, but now he realized that Theophilus was not to be

"Why wouldn't I dare? If they're human, I'll kidnap them! Is he a deity or something?" Zahal retorted arrogantly: "Is it impossible to kidnap someone with money? Ridiculous! As long as there's money, even if it's a god, I'll dare to kidnap them!" "You!" Jethro wiped the sweat from his brow, speechless by Zahal's reckless audacity. Knowing that Theophilus was wealthy, shouldn't Zahal have immediately surrendered and begged for mercy? Why did he want to extort him? It seemed Jethro had underestimated the madness of this risk-taking group. As long as the profit was sufficient and the money was plentiful, they'd dare to do anything insane. "Kneel quickly, then call someone to bring the money. I'm losing my patience." Zahal said smugly, not caring who this young man calling himself Theophilus Jake was. Whether he was from the Connor or Jones family, defiance would be met with a gunshot to disable their legs before resuming negotiations. If he couldn't bear the consequences, the worst

“Zahal, are you out of your mind? You even dare to hit my husband?” Jena shouted, also furious. They were used to being superior and couldn’t bear such a huge loss. “Shut your mouth, you rotten old hag!” Zahal yelled. Zahal coldly assessed Jena, rumored to have tried to depose Theophilus and blatantly spread numerous nasty rumors about him. Zahal was contemplating how to deal with this wicked woman and seek justice for Theophilus. Jena and Orborne had deliberately tarnished the reputation of Theophilus, useless son-in-law from the Miller family, and now everyone in Elysian Echo’s upper-class circles knew about it. “You dare to scold me? You fat, wretched pig, today you dare to cause trouble like this. Tomorrow the Charlie family will kill you!” Jena yelled, pointing her finger at Zahal, seemingly not understanding what was happening. Upon hearing the words “you fat pig.” Zahal’s forehead bulged with blue veins, as he hated being insulted like that the most! Smack! Zahal swiftly
