After Derek got a clear answer about the Taylors, he instructed Blade to drive back to the Ephemeral Bathhouse..Before Derek got out of the car, he turned to Blade again and admonished, “You must keep in mind what I told you before. I don’t want to see any more entertainment joints and establishments that provide vice-related services. The same applies to the Ephemeral Bathhouse!“Also, keep a close eye on the dirty business that the Taylors operate on the top floor of the bathhouse. Call me if something crops up.”"I will do just that, boss." Hr said with a smile curled on his lips.He loved to work for Derek, because Derek he knew was more transparent to the core than several other so-called businessmen in the business world.“Okay, go and get busy with your matters. You don’t have to tag along with me.”After that, Derek left for Fera Textile he had always promised to be the one to pick Brenda and he was never going to fail on that. He went for her, and the drive home was quiet.
The young man was Fangio, whom Blade had appointed to be in charge of the Ephemeral Bathhouse. Fangio had worked with Blade for a long time, and he was competent in handling matters as well. His capability was the reason that Blade had decided to make him the manager of this place.But he had always worked in a poker room previously and so didn’t know Culhane .“What? He sold it?!” Culhane asked in disbelief.A wave of fury immediately surged in his heart. “Who is Nathan Alvin to sell this bathhouse?! Damn it. Get Nathan Alvin to come out here. I want to question him. What gave him the guts to sell the property of the Taylors?!”Cullhane grabbed Fangio by his collar and glared at him as if he was about to swallow up.Fangio began stumbling on an unsteady gait while feeling furious.As a longtime worker at a casino, he naturally had some considerable strength. He grabbed Cullhane ’s wrist, squeezed it hard, and then twisted it forcefully with a loud crack. Overwhelmed by the excrucia
Derek's contemptuous attitude not only made the surrounding employees gape their mouths in shock, but it also made Culhane even more exasperated!The Taylors were one of the four top families in Dominican. They had massive wealth and great power that spread to all industries and businesses of the county. They were formidable existences at the pinnacle, and many tried to get acquainted with them. There was barely anyone who dared to say that the Taylors were not a big deal right in front of a Taylor!Culhane had always been proud of his identity as the next helmsman of the Taylors, yet he was being undermined by the young man in front of him. How could he not be furious?“You…” With a grim expression, Culhane was about to curse out loud, but he suddenly thought of another possibility.The young man in front of me might really have a powerful background!But he’s very likely not from Dominican but a major family elsewhere!It all makes sense now. This is the very reason this young man l
The bodyguards that protected Culhane were all experts that the Taylors had spent a lot of money to hire. Fangio definitely wouldn’t be able to take the punch. He would at least be severely injured, and in the worst-case scenario, he would die!Feeling the gust of wind blown up by the swing of his fist on his face, Fangio couldn’t help but close his eyes while thinking to himself in agony that he might die today!Suddenly, a phantom-like figure appeared beside Fangio. Before the bodyguard’s fist could strike Fangio, the bodyguard was sent flying by a sudden kick!The bodyguard was instantly smashed through the glass door of the Ephemeral Bathhouse and landed far away in the middle of the road. He even almost got run over by a passing car.Everyone watched with their eyes wide open, dumbfounded and unable to react.They jolted back to their senses in horror only after hearing the screech of the tires of the car that had come to an abrupt stop and the curses of the driver who had slamme

The encounter Culhane had was the most humiliating experience in his entire life. Being insulted by such a young punk was simply akin to the prestige of Taylors being trampled all over by him repeatedly!The most infuriating thing was that the young punk actually snatched the Ephemeral Bathhouse away from them!Culhane didn’t believe that Kevin dared to betray the Taylors and sell the Ephemeral Bathhouse to someone else of his own accord. Back then, the Taylors had legally appointed Kevin to be the person in charge of the Ephemeral Bathhouse because they could tell that he wasn’t too ambitious and was instead a little cowardly and extremely scrupulous toward the Taylors. So they thought that he definitely wouldn’t dare to betray them.But now that Kevin had fled, Cullhane was certain that Derek must have coerced and even threatened Kevin into signing the transfer contract.It didn’t matter that Kevin had fled. But the fact that the Ephemeral Bathhouse, the dirty business secretly ran
When Derek arrived in the private room of the restaurant that Ava had booked, he saw her sitting alone in her seat.Upon seeing Derek, Ava’s eyes immediately lit up, and she stood up with a smile. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You’re finally here.”As she spoke, she took the initiative to pull out the chair at the side and asked Derek to take a seat.Derek frowned slightly. “Hasn’t Brenda arrived yet?”Ava pouted her red lips slightly and said with some feigned dismay, “She got held up at the office because an important client suddenly showed up and asked to meet her. So she couldn’t make it, and she wanted me to tell you to finish this meal on her behalf. Sir, you wouldn't leave right?"Ava had dolled herself up before coming. She was gorgeous in the first place, and now that she was pouting, she looked bubbly and delicate.Brenda was the only beautiful woman that Derek had ever paid attention to, and he didn’t notice Ava’s makeup at all. He deciphered her words simply
The moment Ava heard someone call her, she squinted a little to glance at the young man before closing her eyes again immediately. She muttered, “Derek, let’s hurry and head back home!”The young man’s expression instantly became hostile.One reason was that Ava was actually lying so intimately in the arms of another man and completely ignoring him!The second was that she even told this man to hurry and head back home.Go home?! What home? Whose home?!Immediately enraged and full of fury, the young man walked over and grabbed Ava’s arm.“Ava, I’m Xander Von! Don’t you recognize me?” the young man said, refusing to give up.Xander Von… Hearing his name, Derek pursed his lips.Ava cursed at him in his head. Her plan was going well at first, but Xander just had to interfere and sabotage her plan. Besides, Xander was someone she utterly detested.But she had to pretend as if she just recognized him and spoke as if she had only come to a realisation now. “Oh, it’s you, Xander. Are you he
