The man who kicked Spike was naturally Gage, who had been staying nearby to observe the battle secretly.When Blade saw Gage, his tense heart relaxed a little.He had almost suffered a lethal slit on his neck and a stab in the heart by Spike moments ago!“Stand back,” Gage said to Blade before staring at Spike ’s chest and face.Blade knew that he wasn’t a match for Spike and obediently retreated far away from the battlefield despite being full of reluctance so that he wouldn’t get in Gage’s way.Watching their actions, Spike suddenly said, “Are you also Derek’s subordinate? Your combat skills are quite impressive. I didn’t see your movements clearly at all.”Gage suddenly sneered. “I really didn’t expect a prestigious person to become someone’s lackey and be at their beck and call! Moreover, are you so blind to recognise me?"When Spike heard the words prestigious, his expression changed drastically, and horror appeared all over his face.He stared at Gage and said in a shaky vo
As Gage left, Spike stared at his back in a daze, but the things Gage said before leaving echoed repeatedly in his mind.‘I can kill you now on the grounds that you tried to assassinate my boss."’ "No, the person the Justin wants me to kill is called Derek Brook. Could Derek Brook be his boss! How could a whole Gage have a boss such as Derek? He said to himself."No, no, Gage is different, and he can never be a subordinate to him.""If Gage is a subordinate then his superior must be so powerful, considering Gage's status."Spike’s heart suddenly jumped, and he struggled to get up from the ground to catch up to Gage and clarify his doubts.But Gage had long already gotten into the car that was parked a short distance away and left together with Blade.He then fell to his knees and cried out loudly in agony.On the other hand, when Gage and Blade arrived, they headed straight to the Emerald Group to look for Derek. Then Gage reported to Derek about Spike being someone familiar to him.
You! Bastard, what nonsense are you babbling about?!” Andrew pointed at Spike’s nose furiously and berated at the top of his lungs. “Who is it that we can’t afford to offend? Who? Tell me! The Justins have already developed to where we are now, and we’re also a first-class family in this city! Let’s see who has the ability to make the Justins disappear!”Andrew had always been a conceited and arrogant person, so Spike’s words greatly angered him, and he found his explanation to be completely unacceptable.At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the predicament that the Justins were currently in. All of their secret factories and warehouses had been sealed, and within less than two weeks, the Justins would go bankrupt.Moreover, after knowing Derek’s identity, Spike understood exactly how the Justins had landed themselves in this predicament.He had wanted to advise Andrew not to offend Derek again on account that he had worked for the Justins for ten years. But he was well aware
Spike's voice was extremely calm, and he didn’t seem to have any fear of death or desire to live. Andrew’s eyes widened in shock, and he was speechless for a while.He could tell that Spike had really decided to leave the Justins, even if it meant that he had to die!In fact, Spike was already bent on dying at that moment, as a result, Andrew frowned. It was completely different from the outcome that he wanted to see. His goal wasn’t to kill Spike.He lowered his voice and softly advised, “Spike, you’re only in your early age now, and you still have decades of good times waiting for you in a bright future. So, why do you have to be so stubborn? Actually, if you stay with the Justins, it’d be good for both you and everyone. Don’t you agree?“If you’d like, I can give you a luxurious villa and let you enjoy an endless amount of money and fortune. If you want a partner, I can find you all kinds of beautiful women to choose from. Even if you’ve gotten sick of killing, I can also arrange a
Andrew pondered for a moment and soon recalled what Allen had told him before. He sneered. “Are you referring to the Hemsworth?”Derek smiled and nodded. “Yes, for the records I know you are quite a doubtful being, so I implore you to check the authenticity of my report."Andrew snorted coldly. “Are you trying to tell me that the Hemsworth offended you? Let me tell you. If you want to threaten me with this matter, you’ve made the wrong plan!""Bad for you, you could have sought for something else to cajole me instead of this terrible lie.""But then, you might have collected our properties, made us sign but then, you wouldn't see the last of us."“I know that what happened to the Hemsworth that day was just a coincidence! You are just a good-for-nothing son in law who makes a lot of mouth without actions.""If the Reids had not disowned you, you would still be living within their capacity. Ours happened because we were gullible too, but then, we wouldn't slave to you Derek. Never!""I
Spike's horrified expression remained on his face just as he was about to leap over and protect Derek. He discovered to his astonishment that Derek, who was just standing near him, had suddenly vanished!Immediately afterward, Spike felt a force tugging at his collar. His body couldn’t help but propel into the air as the scene in front of him began to spin and become blurry.The several pistols fired at the same time with gunshots that resembled the sounds of beans exploding. All of a sudden, the space at the entrance of the justins residence was awash with the sounds of gunshots, making people’s hearts palpitate.But when the sound of the gunshots stopped, everyone looked over at the entrance, only to see Derek and his men, who should have been unable to escape, standing right there unscathed!Derek still looked as composed as ever. But Spike, whom he was lifting by the collar, had an indescribable look of astonishment on his face.The Justins looked at each other and blinked, dumbfo
After seeing Andrew kneeling in front of Derek and begging him for mercy, the Justin's were even more horrified as they frantically followed suit and knelt behind Andrew. They started begging Derek for mercy and pleading with him to spare them.Derek stared at the people in front of him coldly without any pity.He had already given the Justin's too many chances, over and over again.. But unfortunately, they had thrown those chances away. They had even sent Spike and the gunmen to kill him.If not for the fact that Derek was powerful and strong enough, he would have definitely been nabbed by the Justin's now.If he was weak, the Justin's definitely wouldn’t have let him off!At this moment, a few more people hurriedly came to the entrance of the Justin residence.When they saw the scene at the entrance, they were stunned for a moment.All the Justin's were kneeling on the ground while around several gunmen were lying on the ground and wailing with blood seeping out of their eyes.Howe
After paying, they received two platinum membership cards at the cost of slightly over two hundred thousand dollars, which was deducted from Derek’s cards.After being led to the top floor by the usher, Derek dismissed him and walked forward with Brenda.Brenda felt the pinch of spending more than two hundred thousand dollars on the two platinum membership cards. “The membership cards are too expensive. We could have looked for some other ways to get the cards. It’s not worth it to spend so much money on a membership card.”Derek smiled faintly. “It’s faster to get the membership this way, and it’ll allow us to find Clarine sooner. Moreover, she is more than a friend, Clarine is now family."There were rows of exquisitely crafted masks hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, which were prepared for guests who wanted to play in the poker room but wished to keep their identity concealed.Derek took a random mask from the wall and put it on his face. The mask was enough to co
