"No, Father!" cried Libby as she continued to try to free herself from her father's embrace. "I don't want to lose Henry!""My daughter, realize! Even if you go, there's no guarantee you'll meet him there!" Hayden said, trying to keep his daughter from leaving.Seeing his daughter's determination, the old man realized one thing at that moment."Libby has never acted like this before!" he thought. "Does she really love the professor?"On the one hand, the old man was happy that his only daughter had finally met a young man whom she truly loved.Over the past few years, many men had come to Hayden to propose marriage to his daughter.But none of them had been able to win Libby's heart.Not only did they fail to win the girl's heart, but they couldn't even attract her attention.On the other hand, the old man also felt a little sad in his heart.This was because Henry was just an ordinary professor with no wealth or influence.Meanwhile, up until this time, those who came to propose to h
Libby had been thinking about a plan."He's a cultivator, isn't he?" she thought. "So it will be impossible for him not to catch a simple movement."Then she pretended to stand still.She did this for a moment before suddenly and quickly approaching Henry again."Henry!" she shouted.Just as her body was about ten feet from the young man, the girl's foot tripped and her body fell forward, sliding quickly to the ground.At that moment, she had to choose between saving herself or the diamond eggs she held in both hands."My daughter!" Hayden exclaimed in surprise.Just before the girl hit the ground, Henry quickly grabbed her slender waist."Are you okay?" Henry asked."Hmmm!" Libby nodded slowly, still looking at Henry with a growing sense of love in her heart."Please hold this jewelry! I think my wrist hurts a little," she said, handing it to him.Without much thought, Henry placed one of his palms on the diamond egg.At the same time, seeing Henry willing to hold it, the corner of L
When the bodyguard heard Kobi utter this name, he stopped his fist in its tracks."What else do you want to say, you coward? You think you can make us believe if you mention that name?" he shouted.But it seems that the name is important to them, because they finally decide to believe him."No! I'm not fooling around right now," Kobi shook his head. "Please let me see Boss Jim! I need to tell him something!"Ignoring the pain in his lips, Kobi continued to plead with the bodyguard.Kobi used to be one of the bodyguards in this place.He even became one of Jimmy's trusted men, a boss in the establishment, commonly referred to as "Boss Jim".However, two years ago, Kobi decided to start his own business and left this place."You know the consequences of your request, don't you?" Jimmy asked him when he announced his resignation."When you walk through that elevator door, there's no turning back!" Jimmy continued. "You will have no connection to me or anyone associated with me, and you w
Being stared at like that, Kobi lowered his face in fear."Please forgive my stupidity, boss!" Kobi said with a shaking body.Then he started to slap his own face.Slap!"I am truly blind!" he said after his palm landed on his right cheek. "I cannot see the real truth that I should never have left this place!"Kobi was about to slap his other cheek, but Jimmy spoke first."Stop!" he ordered. "Do you think I'm moved by what you're doing?"As he said the last sentence, his expression showed a bit of concern.In addition to his healthy lifestyle, Jimmy was also known as someone who abhorred violence.Not only did he refrain from doing it to others, but he also had a strong aversion to anyone using violence in his presence.With such traits, Jimmy had an image that seemed to contradict his position as the leader of one of the largest gangster groups in Waterside."Boss, please forgive me! I just don't know what I can do to make up for my mistake!"Kobi said as he bowed his head.Jimmy the
Following Jimmy's instructions, Kobi quickly swallowed the black pill with a strange smell. As soon as the medicine entered his throat, it didn't take long for him to feel its effects. "Aargh!" He screamed as his body convulsed on the ground. His entire body felt unimaginable pain, especially his knees. "You have to endure the agony before you see the results!" Jimmy said softly, looking at the big man who was almost losing consciousness. About ten minutes later, the pain began to fade. At the same time, Kobi not only felt that his body was getting lighter, but he also felt that the pain in his knees was gradually disappearing. "Now stand up!" Jimmy said as he saw Kobi start to recover from the pain. "All right, boss!" He nodded his head and hesitated to lift his body at first. But when he lifted his body slightly, supporting himself on both feet, he was surprised to feel no pain at all. "What?" he muttered to himself. "Have my knees healed?" Kobi continued to lift his bod
Jimmy bent his body to pick up the folded paper.After reading what was written on it, his brow furrowed slightly.With just one glance, he knew what was happening.However, his experience as the leader of The Rock allowed him to remain calm.Kobi could see a worried expression on his boss's face.But before he could open his mouth to ask anything, Jimmy raised his face and shifted his gaze from the paper to Kobi."Who is Henry?" he asked, handing the paper he was holding to Kobi. "Is he the young man you were talking about? The one trying to get close to Mia?"Kobi was about to answer the question. But when he saw what was written on the paper, his body reacted with surprise."Strange! Henry is in danger? Didn't I order anyone to catch this guy or even send this letter?" Kobi thought. He looked slightly confused, although he tried to keep a calm expression on his face."Then who is the real sender?" Jimmy inquired.Just as he was considering the possibility of a third party besides t
"What condition is that?" Mia asked."You must know the basic need of a man, right?" The man said, still with a mischievous smile on his lips."If you're willing to fulfill it for me tonight, you only have to pay $250! And since you only have two hundred dollars, you can pay the remaining fifty dollars some other time!"The driver fell silent and looked in Mia's direction.Since the girl seemed to have no objections, he continued to speak."But!" He began again."If you're willing to let me have fun with you some other time, I'll waive the fare for this trip! You don't have to pay me with money, you just have to pay me with..."After pausing for a moment, the driver stared at Mia with an increasingly wild expression.Not just in her face, but both of his eyes swept over almost her entire body."I don't need to say it, because I'm sure you know what I mean!" he continued with a triumphant sly smile on his lips and a more insolent look in both eyes.Mia just stared at the driver with an
In front of Mia, about two and a half meters away, stood a man with a large body and a slightly handsome face.Mia might not have recognized the man or felt that they had met before.However, the fact that the man knew Mia's last name indicated that the girl was not completely unknown to him."Excuse me, who are you? It seems we haven't met before!" Mia said as she stared at the man.As a cultivator, Mia could now sense the internal energy of others.And according to her estimation, the energy level of the man in front of her was not too far below hers."You may not know me, but you surely know a girl named Darcie Baker, right?""Darcie ... Baker?" Mia murmured slowly.Immediately, her memory flashed back to a girl who had once been Henry's girlfriend.For some reason, she felt a pang of jealousy."I don't know her!" Mia replied. "And even if I knew the name, I have no connection with her!"Besides jealousy, Mia was also angry with this girl.How could she not?The girl had betrayed H
