This situation didn't just involve Tiger—it also concerned Brook."Dortmund City is in trouble. There's a man named Roland Draco there with a status similar to Tiger's. A group of powerful individuals suddenly appeared in Dortmund City yesterday. If Roland and his daughter hadn't escaped quickly, they might not have survived," Brook explained."They've fled to Salt City, and we've just arranged for them to settle down. Now, our concern is whether those people will suddenly come to Salt City."Brook's description was clear, but the dangers were unimaginable.The night was filled with peril, where one misstep could lead to catastrophe.Hearing Brook's account, Henry furrowed his brow. He came from an era where he knew how ruthless and treacherous these underworld figures could be. The situation in the Salt City underworld was currently calm, thanks to Tiger's control. But if someone else took charge, Henry would be worried.Furthermore, the people targeting Roland might have additi

The man left, and Gary approached David, keeping his eyes on the table where the bag of money still sat.Gary asked, "What does that man want? Should we inform Mr. Kirk—"Before Gary could finish his question, David fiercely slapped him."Are you an idiot?" David coldly replied, "He's right! I can't stay a small fry, and neither can you! Whatever his intentions, he's here to help us. Why wouldn't we take the money?"Hearing this, Gary nervously rubbed his hands together. He glanced at the several people behind him who were still in pain. "David, what if they... snitch?"If this matter reached Tiger, neither David nor Gary would escape the consequences. They both feared Tiger's methods.David shook his head. He knew his subordinates well—even if they tried to inform Tiger, they wouldn't get the chance.David lit a cigarette and wrestled with the decision. The man's offer was tempting: money, praise, and a glimpse of the future. To say he wasn't tempted would be a lie. However, he

Eric and Sylvia visited several jewelry stores, but they couldn't find anything suitable."What are you searching for?" Sylvia asked, curious about Eric's intentions.Eric replied, "I wanted to get you a necklace, but I haven't found the perfect one."Sylvia smiled and revealed the bracelet on her wrist. "Your mom gave me this one, and I'm not fond of wearing necklaces. They feel constricting, and I prefer bracelets."Noticing the bracelet, Eric paused, unsure when Grace had given it to Sylvia.-In the afternoon, after shopping for toys, they headed to Elly's nail salon.Elly was closing the store to pick up her sons. Upon seeing Eric and Sylvia, she decided to keep the store open."Could you watch the store? I'll go get the boys," Elly said before leaving in a hurry.The items on the shelves had prices, and discounts were common. Eric and Sylvia weren't worried about it.Shortly after Elly left, Andy finished work and arrived at the nail salon.Craig suddenly appeared. Bef

Elly said, "In the future, just ignore him when he comes. No matter how he wastes his money, don't let him extort it from us.""I just couldn't bear it!" Andy said, "He can insult anyone, but not you."Elly was momentarily taken aback and couldn't blame Andy.After closing the store, the group returned to the second floor. Elly was preparing dinner, and Sylvia received a call from the hospital. It turned out that Craig's injuries were not serious. Brook's men paid for the examination and medication and gave Craig 200 dollars as compensation. This time, Craig didn't get much from his extortion attempt.Andy frowned. "So much money?" He clenched his fists and said, "We shouldn't give him a single cent!"Eric said, "Just stay away from him in the future."In retrospect, Eric sighed deeply. He had once lived with Elly for some time after graduating. Back then, Eric had been incredibly envious of Craig's monthly income. Even though he had worked for seven or eight years, his monthly

Irvin nodded and asked, "Where is this young lady from?"Eric replied, "She is from Dortmund City. Her name is Valerie, and her father is prominent in Dortmund City's underworld scene. When I visited Dortmund City to deal with the Pettersons last year, her father, Roland Draco, provided valuable assistance. He's a good person, and she's also quite attractive."After his explanation, he glanced at Irvin. His main concern was Roland's background—he feared Irvin might look down on someone associated with the underworld.While Brook was also linked to the underworld, there were significant distinctions. Ultimately, Brook was still the second heir of the Williams family, which defined his fundamental identity.Irvin said, "That's fine. Whether she's associated with the underworld or not doesn't trouble me. People like them tend to be loyal. Keith, find some time to meet her with your Uncle Eric and Aunt Sylvia."Keith scratched his head and hesitated. "Dad... I'm really busy."Keith w
