"You... You’re too bold!" Thom roared, his face red with anger. Gobu slapped Thom hard across the face, sending him sprawling onto the floor. "Speak respectfully to my Big Boss!" Thom could only growl, suppressing his rage and fear. "You..." "Sixty seconds," Dixon glanced calmly at his watch. Thom felt a surge of panic mixed with fury. He knew Dixon wasn't bluffing. He was fully aware that Dixon had killed Lewo without a shred of mercy. Could Paulo have deliberately abandoned Reddof to trap people like him? His heart pounded fiercely. Was this all part of Paulo's plan to lure men like him into Reddof, only to crush them? "One minute's up. Now pay $110 million," Dixon said flatly, ignoring Thom's desperate gaze. "Are you serious about keeping your word?" Thom swallowed hard, his throat dry. "If I pay, you won’t come after me again?" "Of course. I'm a man who always keeps my promises," Dixon replied curtly. Nervously, Thom shouted, "I’ll pay!" To him, life was more important.
“Topan, you’re getting more cowardly by the day! Without support from the north, what good is knowing how to fight? We have more people, and they’re stronger than them!” Nico gritted his teeth in anger. “Boss Allon, don’t hesitate any longer. If we enter Reddof earlier, we can take more! If we’re late, there’ll be nothing left for us!” “Let’s move!” Allon finally gave the firm order. Almost a hundred people from Okla immediately set out enthusiastically toward Reddof. Meanwhile, Zokhu shuddered upon hearing that Thom had completely vanished. He felt as though he had fallen from a great height, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Not long ago, Thom had assured him that Reddof wasn’t that intimidating. But now, Thom had disappeared without a trace, along with all his assets, liquidated in a short span of time. “Young Master Zokhu, our company has been crushed by the Hamilton Group. We’ve suffered massive losses! Hamilton Group is too powerful—they’ve destroyed us!” “We’v
"Gobu, we must be polite to our guests. Since they’ve come to 'help' Reddof, we should show them our appreciation," Dixon said, a faint smile playing on his face. "Yes, Boss," Gobu replied in a serious tone. But Gobu knew that Dixon rarely bothered with politeness in matters like these. He had already checked with the local government and found out that Reddof still needed funding for the repair of two major bridges and three main roads, with a shortfall of around $500 million. That night, they were determined to make sure that money came from their so-called guests. Gobu realized he had to force himself to be a bit more "friendly" toward them. "Big Boss?" Allon and the other leaders looked puzzled. "Are you Dixon Edric?" Allon asked coldly. Nico nodded slightly, signaling it was true. "Yeah, that’s me," Dixon replied casually. Allon let out a cold laugh. "Hahaha… I thought you were some legendary monster with extraordinary power. But to me, you look quite ordinary." He turned
"Kill them all!" The bosses roared in unison, no longer bothering to pretend politeness. "Leave none of them alive!" In an instant, the night sky was filled with the battle cries of 300 armed men rushing to attack Gobu and Dixon’s other subordinates. Gobu reacted instantly, throwing a lightning-fast punch. To Gobu, the man standing before him was like a lifeless statue—far easier to hit than the moving wooden blocks in their training facility. His punch landed with devastating force, sending the man flying more than 20 steps away. It was a terrifying sight! Yet Gobu seemed only more exhilarated. "My brothers, kill them all!" The shout was like a wolf pack’s call as they descended upon a herd of sheep. The thirty men had reached the peak of their adrenaline rush. Their fists felt like iron, unstoppable by any opposition. Gobu and his comrades moved with speed and power that were nothing short of terrifying. They were too fast, too ferocious! As the battle intensified, Allon an
"So, how about it? Do you five think the so-called Reddof cake tastes good?" Dixon flicked away his cigarette butt and walked toward Allon and the other bosses. Dixon had no interest in personally taking further action. Men like this were mere ants, unworthy of a leader like him lifting a hand to crush them. Allon’s mouth was filled with blood, his body trembled, and he was utterly terrified. Even the thought of trying to seize Reddof made him shudder. They hadn’t even stepped into Reddof, yet they’d already been beaten to a pulp! If they actually went inside, they might vanish without a trace. "You… you’re challenging all the illegal circles in Okla? Are you tired of living, ahhh—!" Before Danny could finish his sentence, Dixon stomped on his face, twisting his jaw out of place. "Gobu, slap his mouth." "Yes, Big Boss!" Gobu wasn’t satisfied with just one. He grabbed Danny and slapped him ten times in quick succession. Danny’s mouth was full of blood, and not a single tooth rem
Dixon had become someone they respected unconditionally—their god! “So, we’ve managed to repair two bridges and three roads. We have these bosses to thank,” Dixon said. He instructed Gobu to take thirty of their men to rest while he decided to head home on his own. For Dixon, this wasn’t a big deal—it was just a minor skirmish.*** It was nearly 11 PM when Dixon arrived home. Diana had just gotten back herself after a long day at work. She had already showered and changed into a cotton pajama set. Yet, Diana was still busy poring over company reports in her hands. When she heard Dixon come in, Diana glanced at him. “Why are you home so late today?” she asked. “You worried about me?” Dixon chuckled lightly. Diana raised an eyebrow, refusing to admit it. After taking a shower, Dixon dried his hair and casually climbed into bed. He slid under the blanket, leaving only his head uncovered as he watched Diana, who remained engrossed in her documents. "My wife... it’s time to sleep
"I never expected this," Chairman Kane finally said after a long silence. "That young man is truly impressive." "Indeed! Those thirty men were nothing but trash three months ago," Sanos replied calmly. "Are you certain there's no sign of support from the north?" Chairman Kane asked Sanos once again. This was very unlike him—he usually never repeated a question. "There is only one family with the surname Edric in the north, but they don't have a member named Dixon. However, he might be using an alias," Sanos replied. To Sanos, a truly skilled fighter would never bother using an alias. "Are you worried he’s coming for us?" Sanos asked. "The families in the north are in fierce conflict right now, and those supporting us aren’t in a good position," Chairman Kane sighed. "If someone wants to take my place right now, it’s not surprising." Chairman Kane knew he couldn't interfere or say anything about the power struggles at that level. Although Kane controlled the illegal cir
Dixon was driving Diana to her office. "The holidays are approaching, and Jenna—my uncle's daughter—said she wants to take a trip while checking out schools out of city. Maybe Okla would be a better choice, not Fairbanks. You could accompany her," Diana said softly. Diana didn’t have time for such things. Even during public holidays, she was still busy with work, as there was too much to handle. "Of course," Dixon replied casually. After turning off the car engine, Dixon stepped out and walked toward the small park beside the office building. There weren’t many people in the park, just two or three at most. Dixon strolled to the edge of the artificial lake and gazed at the rippling water with a calm expression. His back was fully exposed, making him vulnerable to an attack from any direction. However, Sanos did nothing. He knew Dixon had been aware from the very beginning that he had followed him from home all the way to this park. "My senior, why didn’t you let me kno
"Since you’ve sent her to Reddof, she naturally won’t be in any danger," Dixon said, then picked up his cup and drank. Chairman Kane’s hands trembled, and his voice was hoarse as he gratefully said, "Thank you!" "Dixon!" Diana walked over with a joyful expression on her face. She held a box containing a Barbie doll. It was something she had wanted dearly since childhood but had only received now. At that time, her family couldn’t afford to buy it, and she never forgot this rare Barbie. "Look! This is what Chairman Kane gave me!" she exclaimed to Dixon. "Chairman Kane, thank you…you’re truly a kind man," Diana said. "My daughter loved this when she was little," Chairman Kane said, smiling. "I bought two and kept one in storage. It’s an old item, so I hope you don’t mind." "Oh, not at all! I’m so happy," Diana replied cheerfully. Dixon said nothing. He merely glanced at Chairman Kane and thought about how thoroughly the man must have investigated Diana in advance. Diana sa
Allon wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He felt like he was in a tough spot because he couldn't tell if this was a good or bad sign. Dixon remained silent, looking at Chairman Kane and waiting for a response. Chairman Kane also stayed quiet for a moment. They continued to look at each other, and Allon was very nervous. "Allon, you should thank Dixon," Chairman Kane said after a long pause. "Thank you, Mr. Dixon," Allon quickly replied. He raised his wine glass, "This is for you, Mr. Dixon." Allon drained his wine glass in one gulp, and his eyes instantly turned a little red. They were full from the food and drinks, and the cake had already been served. Everyone seemed satisfied now, except Allon, who still felt a little uneasy. Chairman Kane mentioned that he was tired, and the other bosses understood what he meant. They immediately said their goodbyes and left. "Dixon, there’s coffee in the backyard. Have some before you leave," Chairman Kane said.
Even Diana was surprised. Wasn’t it customary for the host to cut the cake? Why was he asking a guest to do it? Diana didn’t ask, as this formal event seemed somewhat strange to her. The people in the room were just as peculiar. Dixon remained seated, amused at Chairman Kane’s request for him to cut the cake. Dixon chuckled softly and said, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the entire cake for myself?” Chairman Kane smiled, but the other bosses were visibly alarmed and tense. Was Chairman Kane about to hand over all his territories to Dixon? Or would they have to fight to defend their domains? “I’ll accept whatever decision you make. If you want, you can take it all,” Chairman Kane said with a smile. Dixon stood, took the knife, and scanned the room. He saw that while everyone smiled, they were masking their anxiety and apprehension. Dixon began cutting the cake. “Since Chairman Kane wants me to divide the cake, I’ll do so,” Dixon said. In no time, he cut one slice.
If Dixon was here to take control of the illegal circles, then this dinner was most likely a trap! That’s what the bosses thought. But Dixon brought his wife, the most important woman in his life. Allon and the other bosses had no idea what was going on. They were all nervous, alert, and uneasy. However, Dixon remained calm and composed. He casually chatted with Chairman Kane about several past incidents in Okla, some issues regarding illegal business circles, and even reminisced about Chairman Kane’s youth. Chairman Kane and Dixon appeared like old friends reminiscing about memories. They didn’t look like enemies at all. In fact, Diana even toasted Chairman Kane and wished him a happy birthday once again. The tense atmosphere of the dinner began to ease. The bosses started to relax and stepped forward to toast Chairman Kane and Dixon. Dixon didn’t take a sip of the alcohol, and of course, neither did Diana. They merely raised their glasses in a gesture. After severa
Dixon replied casually, "You’re the only one I dare to threaten." Blushing, Diana said nothing further. Just then, Bondo entered with a broad smile and said, "Everyone, Chairman Kane is ready. Please move to the main hall." Dixon stood and helped Diana up before anyone else dared to rise. Together, they walked to the hall, where a grand round table awaited, exuding an air of luxury and importance. "Mr. Dixon, please take this seat," Bondo said, indicating the second-most prominent chair. Dixon sat, with Diana next to him, while the others took their seats further behind. Moments later, the sound of footsteps and hearty laughter echoed through the hall. "I apologize for keeping everyone waiting," Chairman Kane said as he entered, impeccably dressed. "Chairman Kane!" Everyone stood to greet him respectfully. Diana also started to rise, but Dixon remained seated. "Dixon!" she whispered, nudging him to stand. "It’s alright. You don’t have to be formal with Chairm
When they arrived in front of the Foh Club, Diana looked at the building and asked, "What kind of place is this?" "An old man is celebrating his birthday, so I brought you here for a nice dinner," Dixon replied with a smile. "That old man is very lonely. He's already 60 years old and hasn’t had many birthday celebrations before," he added. Initially, Diana was reluctant to attend the party but immediately felt sad after hearing Dixon's words. "Oh my God! That’s so heartbreaking. Alright, let’s celebrate his birthday with him tonight," she said. Stepping out of the car, Diana took Dixon’s arm, and they walked into the Foh Club together. It was her first time visiting such a place. When they reached the entrance, Bondo greeted them. "Welcome, Mr. Dixon." As soon as Bondo noticed Diana beside Dixon, he immediately recognized her. "Welcome, Miss Diana." "Hello," Diana replied politely. "Please, come this way," Bondo said, bowing slightly as he ushered them inside.
There is chaos once again in the illegal circles: Chairman Kane has returned! And he brought the head of Verdonk Co with him! Everyone who had betrayed Okla and sided with Verdonk in the past is now terrified. They fear Chairman Kane's punishment and that Sanos might kill them. Even Allon feels anxious, although he never betrayed Chairman Kane. They all know that the one who killed the Co family and all their subordinates was Dixon. However, Chairman Kane is not someone they can underestimate. In the end, Chairman Kane did nothing. He neither took revenge nor said a word. It was as if he had returned from a vacation and nothing had ever happened. The Foh Club reopened, and everything went back to normal. Then, the club sent out invitations: Chairman Kane was going to celebrate his 60th birthday, and everyone received an invitation. This made everyone even more frightened. They wondered if this was secretly a trap. Sanos traveled to Reddof alone. Apart from him
In the illegal business of Okla, the atmosphere was filled with fear. Everyone knew that Reddof would not stay silent; they were convinced that a great retaliation was imminent. Verdonk had fallen, and now no one could rival Reddof’s power. However, new rumors began to spread: Reddof was a forbidden zone. As long as no one caused trouble there, they would remain safe. It was unclear where this information came from, but many felt relieved upon hearing it. Dixon, indifferent to what outsiders said, returned to his peaceful life after that violent night. Meanwhile, Gobu and his group trained harder than ever, determined not to let their guard down.*** “Damn it, Dixon is too strong!” Verdonk cursed, taking a deep breath. He opened an old fridge, grabbed a bottle of water, and drank it. Many thought he was dead, but he had managed to escape and hide in a secret place he had prepared years ago. Now, Verdonk felt utterly exhausted. “Dixon, I will return for revenge!” “I’ll head
"Do you know who’s backing me?" Verdonk kept shouting, his voice trembling with tension. Yet, despite his efforts to appear confident, he didn’t dare attack Dixon. He knew he was stronger than Spcymo and The Beast, but in front of Dixon, Verdonk was certain of one thing: he would die. His gaze was locked on Dixon as he slowly stepped back, one step at a time. However, Dixon seemed uninterested in pursuing him. "I don’t know, and I don’t care who’s backing you," Dixon replied calmly. His tone was cold, devoid of emotion. "But if anyone dares to cause trouble in Reddof, they will die." Verdonk shuddered. Dixon’s dominance was terrifying, filling the entire space with an oppressive aura. From behind Verdonk came roars and screams of pain that echoed continuously. Of the three hundred troops he had brought, only a handful were still alive—the rest had been slaughtered. In a peak of panic, Verdonk suddenly turned and fled. His movements were frantic, like a man who had lost his mind
