Derek walked into the kiosk, but took his time to look in it's surroundings.

He still couldn't understand why Gage had brought him out to such a place.

Trastar seemed secure enough for whatever discussion they were to have.

The kiosk was decorated and arranged in outdated style.

At a mere glance, it was very obviously out of touch with current trends.

While he waited, he took his seat and beckoned to a waiter. “Is there anything to eat?”

“Just a few homemade dishes. Do you want some? I’ll go and heat them up for you.”

Derek wasn’t too bothered by whatever was sold, all he wanted was Gage's arrival and he leaves his current position.

Although he wasn’t hungry, it would be strange for him to sit there and wait for someone without ordering anything.

"That's fine, you could do it that way. Heat them up and bring them."

The waiter returned to the kitchen, and before long, he returned with different appetizers.

As expected, they were all homemade.

While he sat down looking into the dishes,

    “Derek, I think we’d better not go for the gathering.” Brenda thought of some bad memories and reframed her words that they would not attend it.“I thought you wanted to go badly … No, we have to go.”"Not when I already agreed on going with you too."Brenda saw that her husband was resolute and wasn’t going to give in. “What, are you going to rebuke me now?”Derek narrowed his eyes. “Those people want to bully you. Don’t you think we should teach them a lesson? Moreover, it's high time everyone stopped looking down on you because of me."Brenda was stunned. His recent attitudes were daring and always up to the task unlike before.‘My husband is too charming. He’s no piece of trash; he just couldn’t be bothered to get back at them. But just look at that—he’s no piece of trash when someone bullies me.’“Oh, ok.” Brenda nodded, not trying to stop her husband anymore.He was her husband. As long as he made a decision, she would simply trust him as his wife.“We still have some days unti

    It was no new news that the couples were always being spoken ill of, or bullied even in public gatherings.Days in the past, Brenda had always been the envy of all, even Mauri herself despised and hated her, for her stunning beauty. And with the fact that Brenda was the eye of the whole school.Even when Mauri discovered how related they were, she never ceased to back down… Her thirst for jealousy kept growing day after day.Several people were on Brenda's side because of her level of popularity. However, everything came to an end the moment she got married to Derek.Everyone who was once her friend, turned out to be a mocker. Instead of being a source of comfort, they all became a voice of thorns.One after the other, they turned their back on her until she was left with just Clarine by herself.However, it seems Mauri had begun to win instead.At first, Mauri had talked about them coming to the venue in a taxi. Now, she referred to Derek's status as a good for nothing son-in-law as

    All Mauri and Jackson were after nothing but connection. As far as you held none of the two as power and position, you are obviously nothing to them.A more reason they had an eye on Brenda. Before, she was the beautiful and untouchable daughter of the Reids, but now to all, she was nothing but trash alongside Derek.In society, nothing made more sense than holding on to the two prominent things. And what is love when both don't exist?The courage instilled in Brenda at which she proudly introduced her husband was quite alarming. No shame, no iota of disgust to prove how shameful she was married to a thrash. Derek also never found it ridiculous either to proudly announce his friendship with a chef. Yet, he had done so without batting an eye. “Derek, you mentioned Chef Miller to be your friend. Does that imply that you’re a chef too?” Mauri threw in the question that raised an outburst.Brenda was equally surprised, she wondered what Derek was trying to do announcing himself to be th

    The gathering consisted of prominent personalities such as Mauri and Jackson. Even if others were less prominent at least they had all graduated from the most prestigious school in Dominican.Even Brenda was from a second tier family in Dominican. A more reason they had chosen a more luxurious place for their meeting.However, it surprises them to know that Derek called a mere chef to dine with them in the same place.‘This private and luxurious room was chosen because we want some privacy. How dare you disturb us by inviting a mere chef into our midst. It shows how little you respect our gathering and how lowly you think of us."Jackson didn’t even glance at the door before he pointed and yelled out angrily. “Scram!”‘I am the one giving a treat today, not you, Derek.’Different people turned to Derek and said. “If you want to meet that chef, you should get out too.”Hunter added on with a sneer, “Derek, It's all over the place that you don’t even dare to fight back or rebuke any

    Nobody in the room even dared to take a deep breath.Derek's command had been quite alarming, but no one dared to counter it.Hunter's expression clearly begged for mercy but none were forthcoming from Derek.Even Miller dared not to disobey his order. Hurriedly, Brenda strolled towards him, clutched tight to him before she whispered."Derek, I know you really are trying to protect me, but don't you think throwing him off the building is going too far? Look, he's still got a family to take care of. Let him go."Her words were as though a veil was taken off his sight. Meanwhile Miller was close to reaching the window with Hunter in his close grip. "Let him go, Miller!" Derek commanded exactly as said by his wife.Instantly, he did as ordered. Hunter crawled towards Derek to apologize. However, Derek turned and bade Miller goodbye before leaving with his spouse and Clarine.As for the others, they wanted to leave but were stopped by Miller. “Hand your phones over.”Just one sentence fr

    Derek had received a message from an anonymous number immediately after they left PrimeStar."If you are willing to know more about Autumn and how to pull her down, meet me at Ivy club."The message caught his attention and ignited curiosity. He was too engulfed in the message to process the fact that he needed to call Gage first before he headed out.However he left hurriedly.He was a bit worried when he got to the basement, and at the same time he instantly contemplated on calling Gage as he was with no body guard in a club like Ivy.Ivy was known for promiscuity and a lot of abominable acts. In short, it was known to accommodate criminals.While he thought of calling Gage, somebody from behind had suddenly thrown a blindfold into his face and tied his hands. He tried earnestly to struggle off the blind folds and the holds on his hands but the person was just too strong for him.In a short while, he felt the room was void and there were no traces of movement.Derek regained his str

    Derek vowed to get back at whoever was involved in the kidnapping and shared his picture to the net.That same morning, he sent Gage a message, stating that it happened to him at the Ivy club and he asked him to investigate whoever was in charge if whatever happened to him.Derek dressed up and left the house for work, only to receive the information after a few hours. It stated that Autumn was the one who orchestrated the whole drama for reasons obviously unknown.Angrily, he went in search of Autumn with the evil eye bracelet she had gifted to his wife.He dashed into her house without courtesy, after he bypassed the security men.Her sitting room was filled with people who seems to be her business partners, but he cared less about that. All he wanted was to get his pound of flesh back."Yes, my good friend Derek, what do you any here?" she leaned back into the chair with her legs crossed."Autumn, would it be good to explain why you are after my wife and I?""What are you talking a

    The honk was repeated, alarming and disturbing at the same time.Derek took the first initiative to check whom it was.His first step out of the door, he was greeted by insulting words. "Hey looser! You are still alive huh!"Such words were no surprise to him, it wasn't the first time Morphie would orchestrate such neither would it be the last.He smiled and said. "Of course I'm alive. Why have you come Morphie?" his presence was suspicious, he had never paid such visit, not even the time when Brenda was taken as a rejected child."Just hold it. I'm not here for you. I am here to see my sister.""She isn't…""Morphie!" Derek was about covering up her presence with words, but she came out cutting him midway."Morphie! Why have you come? Why are you here?" she was equally surprised and couldn't find back her home of surprises."Why! Can't I come visiting my sister! Has that also become a crime because of this trash?!" Morphie sneered in contempt."Visiting! You obviously don't do that!

    W-what’s going on?The ten-odd bodyguards who barged in glared at Derek like he was a great enemy.On the ground, Perry gritted his teeth resentfully as he struggled to raise his head to look at the bodyguards and ordered, “Kill… kill him!”The punch Derek threw at his abdomen left Perry in so much pain that he was on the verge of throwing up all the food he had eaten for the past few days. The slightest movement made him feel intense pain in his stomach.For the past few decades of his life, Perry had never been beaten up like this or suffered such a huge loss before!If Derek could still leave Perry ’s turf under the siege of so many bodyguards, Perry would be thoroughly embarrassed!The ten-odd bodyguards and Perry ’s personal bodyguard acknowledged and immediately surrounded Derek.Derek smiled coldly and raised his leg to kick the bald bodyguard who rushed in front of him, sending him flying!“Ah!” The bald bodyguard let out a miserable cry as his body was propelled upward be

    “No!” Perry refused resolutely. “This isn’t a small business. We’ve monopolised it in Dominican! If I recommend some clients to you, won’t I be giving my family a competitor for no reason?”Derek shook his head. “I naturally won’t run this business in Dominican and become your competitor.”After giving it some thought, Perry still didn’t believe Derek. “Your roots are all in Dominican. Why should I believe that you would leave this place and go elsewhere to run this business.”Derek shrugged. “It’s up to you to believe me or not. Mr. Perry, please get your facts right. I’m doing you a favour by asking you to recommend clients to me. To put it bluntly, the Bathhouse is in my hands now, and so are those beautiful women. Even if I take over the business directly now, what can you do for me?”Derek's words made Perry’s face turn gloomy again.But this was really what the current situation was like. Since that bastard manager had presumptuously sold the Bathhouse, Derek was the dominant p

    Perry’s face was naturally extremely gloomy at this point.Derek was clearly trying to intimidate him!It was just an ordinary dice, but the power that emerged from Derek’s hand when he threw it was not inferior to the power contained in a bullet shot from a gun!Besides, the dice Derek shot had landed near Perry’s head. If Derek had intended to kill Perry, he would have probably been shot in the head by now!At the thought of this, Perry felt his entire body’s hair stand on end, and cold sweat rapidly seeped out of his pores, making him chilly all over.And Perry’s elite bodyguard was also overwhelmed with shock.As a bodyguard, he should protect his employer’s safety in any emergency situation.But the speed of the dice Derek shot out just now was so quick that it wasn’t visible to the naked eye. In fact, he only figured out what happened after hearing the terse and sharp sound of the dice shuttling through the air, followed by the loud bang.He couldn’t even react in time, let alon

    When Perry saw how bold and fearless Derek was, his facial muscles twitched a little as he gritted his teeth with great resentment and viciousness in his eyes.With a hypocritical grin, he said, “Hehe, why would I do that? Since I invited you here, I naturally have something to discuss with you.”He thought he had hidden his intentions well. But being a sharp and shrewd person, Derek had long seen through Perry.“Mr. Perry, don’t beat around the bush with me. If you have anything to say, just say it.” Derek couldn’t be bothered to exchange hypocritical pleasantries with him. He simply leaned against the couch and got straight to the point.Seeing Derek taking the lead in the conversation, Perry was displeased, and his face immediately turned dark.He waved his hand, and the few scantily clad beauties sitting beside him immediately walked out of the room.Soon, only Derek, Perry, and a burly man who followed Perry wherever he went were the only ones left in the large private room.Dere

    Derek frowned.He didn’t expect Aiden to die despite being in police custody.But there were definitely potential loopholes everywhere. If it was really the doing of the force that Derek guessed, the police would likely be defenceless and unable to guard against their actions.But Aiden’s death was not in vain. At the very least, Derek was now certain that the mastermind who instigated Aiden was more likely than not same person who sent the photographer.Otherwise, Aiden wouldn’t have died so easily.“Okay, I know.”Derek was about to hang up the phone when he noticed in the rearview mirror that there were several inconspicuous cars tailing his car. Their intentions were unclear, but he knew that they had to be up to no good.He frowned. They’re really everywhere. How annoying!He wondered who sent these people to tail him.With a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, Derek hung up the phone and quickly made another call. “Come to Clarine's apartment, I will send you an address.”Der

    Derek couldn't tell who it was yet, but he knew he would find out.With a sharp and cold gaze in his eyes, Derek raised his head and looked distantly in the direction of the DC. “Hmph, I don’t care who you really are. As long as you dare to reach your hand here, I don’t mind chopping it off!”When Derek reached the amusement park entrance, he saw Clarine waiting here for him worriedly.“Derek, did you get what you went for? Did you find everything?” she asked curiously.Derek raised his arm with two paper bags and said with a faint smile, “I got them. Fortunately, there was no queue.Clarine grinned and teased, “It turns out you really are caring.”Derek smiled. He merely nodded and said, “Yeah, so you have to be like me as well. In the meantime, it's getting late, let's go home.”Clarine nodded happily. Soon, the two of them got into Lucas’s car and sped off.…At this moment, in a luxurious villa in Dominican.A young man in his twenties was reclining on a soft leather sofa with a s

    Derek was still trying to figure out who it was, but then he scurried away quickly. But after covering only a short distance, he discovered that a tall and phantom-like figure had appeared in front of him to block him from leaving.“Still trying to run, huh?”The young man was flabbergasted because the person in front of him was the same person he had been secretly snapping photos of!A few seconds ago, this person was clearly more than meters behind him, yet he was standing in front of him in the blink of an eye. How did he do it?!Having been discovered and even stopped by the person he was secretly snapping photos of, the young man got a little nervous and gritted his teeth. He then barked in a menacing voice, “Why are you stopping me? Get lost!”Derek sneered and pointed at the camera the young man was holding. He asked indifferently, “You’ve been tailing me all afternoon, so you must have taken a lot of pictures, right? Did you think no one could discover you when you’re so clums

    In fact, Derek could have chosen not to catch Aiden and let him fall to his death just now, as he ought to reap what he sowed.But the words Aiden said earlier made Derek suspect that someone was instigating him. So Derek caught him and allowed him to stay alive to interrogate him and find out more from him.But the matter of Aiden taking Clarinet hostage and trying to jump off the building with her had alarmed almost all the police systems in the city. Many reporters had also hurried over with their cameras and equipment to get the first hand news scoop.In such a situation, Derek naturally couldn’t interrogate Aiden personally. He simply handed Aiden over to the special police officers for them to investigate.The chief special police officer nodded and instructed his subordinates to send Aiden to the hospital. After Aiden came to, they would bring him in for interrogation immediately.Of course, as the parties involved in the incident, Derek and Clarine had to make a mandatory trip

    Clarine watched as Derek vanished from the edge of the roof and screamed at the top of her lungs uncontrollably, “Derek!”Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she started bawling loudly, feeling as if her heart was being stabbed by daggers.In contrast, Aiden laughed out loud in great excitement. “Hahaha! What a dimwit. I managed to kill him so easily! I’m going to get rich again soon. Hahaha!”The police on the rooftop of the building couldn’t stop Derek in time and could only watch as he jumped off the building. They all shouted in horror and regret.At the same time, the crowd of onlookers on the ground also shrieked loudly in amazement.When Aiden heard the commotion at the bottom of the building, he guffawed hysterically with great smugness. Then he grabbed Clarine by the collar and looked at the ground to admire the scene of Derek’s badly mangled flesh after he fell off the building.Suddenly, there was a major change!A pair of hands suddenly reached over from the
