The factory workers were terrified as the renowned Baxter Webb stood before them. Behind him were over a hundred fierce-looking henchmen with weapons. It was something ordinary factory workers had never seen before, so it was natural for them to feel terrified.Some of the workers were so frightened that they ran away.Baxter held a cigar as he approached Xayne and his group. The former unbuttoned his coat and shrugged, causing it to drop when one of his henchmen swiftly caught it.He had an angular face that exuded an imposing aura. With his cigar between his fingers, he exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the workers before him, asking, “Which of you laid hands on my men just now?!”His voice echoed throughout the factory as the workers exchanged glances before looking at Xayne.Xayne replied, “It was me.”Baxter turned to look at Xayne and puffed his cigarette, ordering, “Break both his legs! I want him to kneel before me.”He sounded as if he had done this many times. Sudd

Thud!Donovan quickly kneeled when he heard Chuck’s furious roar. He feared the man before him as he struggled to control his emotions to ask, “Mr. Chuck, I don’t understand. Who did I offend?”Chuck sneered and glared at Donovan coldly. “Is Baxter Webb your subordinate?”Faced with Chuck’s reproach, Donovan quickly replied, “Yes, he’s under my command, but how do those two connect?”Although he seemed clueless, he felt something was amiss. Since his subordinates had reported Baxter’s arrest, he planned to use his connections and money to resolve the situation. However, it seemed Baxter had provoked someone formidable.Bang!Chuck kicked Donovan’s shoulder and pointed at him. “Since Baxter is under your command, then it’s your fault! Stay on your knees and wait here!”Soon after, Chuck knelt without a word, shocking Donovan and making him tremble. Although Chuck was the wealthiest man in Shalholm and had immense influence, he knelt on the ground, seemingly awaiting someone even

Ethan and Sophia soon arrived at the Dane Hill Villa. They carried two suitcases of money as they entered. The burly guards at the entrance saw the duo and blocked them.Ethan said humbly, “Hello, I’m here to visit the Grim Reaper. Please inform him that I am Baxter Webb’s friend, Ethan Brown, the president of Brown Corporation.”The tall and muscular guard glanced at Ethan coldly and replied, “Okay, wait here.”Meanwhile, Sophia clung to Ethan’s arm anxiously. After all, they were at the Grim Reaper’s residence, a place so luxurious that ordinary people could never enter."Ethan, do you think the Grim Reaper will see us?" Sophia asked in a hushed voice.Ethan smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, Baxter and I are friends, so the Grim Reaper will accept us. Besides, Brown Corporation is well-known in Shalholm. He wouldn't ignore us."Just as he finished speaking, the guard returned with eight other guards holding riot batons. They approached Ethan, yelling and pointing at him.

Serena blinked her teary eyes and avoided Xayne’s gaze. Then she wiped her tears away and hugged Coco, saying, "Coco, are you full? Should I take you for a bath and put you to bed?"Coco shook her head. "No, I don't want to sleep or bathe. I want to play with Daddy."Serena sighed. "Daddy’s too tired today. You can play with him tomorrow, okay?"However, Coco pursed her lips and jumped out of Serena's arms. Then she climbed into Xayne's embrace and kissed his cheek. “Mommy misses you, Daddy. She would always tell me stories about you before putting me to sleep.“She called you a superhero who would return to protect us. Promise me you won’t leave us again, Daddy.” Coco’s voice quivered at the end, looking anxious yet hopeful.Xayne’s expression softened, and he became teary-eyed. He gently pinched Coco’s chubby cheeks. “All right, I promise never to leave you and Mommy again.”Upon hearing that, Coco nodded vigorously and kissed Xayne’s face again. Then she turned to her mother w

Xayne smiled innocently as he entered the house. “I overate for dinner and couldn’t sleep, so I went for a stroll.”Then he approached Serena, squatted, and reached out to hold her hand. However, she seemed shy and avoided his touch. Immediately after, she combed her hair behind her ear and said, “Since you’re back, you should sleep.”She stood up as she spoke, put on her slippers, and headed to the bedroom. However, she stood at the door hesitantly before saying, “Please stop interfering with my matters. I’m begging you.”Xayne looked at the closing bedroom door. He felt uneasy as he gazed at the photo of Serena and Coco on the bedside table. The mother and daughter were in a park in the picture. Serena was flying a kite while Coco blew bubbles, smiling joyfully.Xayne picked up the photo frame as emotions stirred within him, causing him to become misty-eyed. He touched the photo and whispered, “Don’t worry, you two. I won’t let you suffer.”Tim’s family of three arrived at the c
