Shawn turned to the source of the voice. He recognized the woman immediately. “Victoria?”The woman nodded. She was the woman Shawn went to high school with. A woman who used to stand out in high school because she had a cute face and beautiful hair. However, unlike Shawn's other friends, Victoria never did anything bad to Shawn. Sometimes they even studied together in the library.In fact, one of the reasons why Shawn was bullied in high school was because Shawn was close to Victoria. Some of the boys there were jealous of Shawn's closeness with Victoria. Several times Shawn was hit and warned to stay away from Victoria.However, Shawn did not do what they asked because he was not in a romantic relationship with Victoria. They were just close friends.Victoria saw Shawn whose appearance was different now. He looked cooler in a suit and very neat. Victoria smiled in admiration. “Shawn... you look different now.”Fortunately, Shawn wasn't drunk yet. He only drank 3 shots. Shawn could s
“You can't run, Victoria. You have to come with us!” The tall man from before pulled Victoria's hand forcefully.Victoria shook her head. “No way! You guys are crazy!”Victoria pulled her hand away, but the man did not let go. A man of similar size chuckled when he saw Victoria's resistance. “Howard, he's calling us crazy.”Howard looked back. “Shut up, Finn. Take her to the old man immediately.”Howard gripped Victoria's hand harder. The woman felt pain and sighed slightly. Finn clicked his tongue a few times. “Uh, Howard. You're too hard on the goods. This girl is good quality. You can't afford to chafe her.”Victoria swallowed. “Good quality stuff?”Victoria froze. Her eyes could see the grins of the two men. They couldn't stop looking at Victoria's beautiful body. It was very uncomfortable for Victoria to be looked at like that.Howard pulled Victoria's hand so that she came closer. He looked intently at Victoria. “It's in our agreement. If you can't pay the debt, then do it with
“Then you're messing with the wrong person.” Shawn said this while narrowing his eyes slightly. Suddenly the two men stopped laughing and gave Shawn a sharp glance. Howard stepped forward and glared at Shawn. “Hey young man, you don't seem to know who you're dealing with. I'm warning you. I don't want to dirty my hands with human blood today. You better get out of the way before I change my mind.”Shawn released Victoria's hand and advanced towards the big man. She fearlessly looked him straight in the eye. “Are you sure you're going to do it in a narrow alley like this?”Howard grinned. “Oh... look at that, Finn! Turns out there are people who don't have brains like this. Turns out young people are getting dumber and dumber.”With his hand, Shawn gave Victoria the code to move away a little. Shawn didn't want Victoria to get involved in the fight that Shawn was about to have. Victoria nodded and hid behind a lamp post.Finn burst out laughing. “You go for it, Howard. We already know
Shawn stopped his car in front of the gate of the Tred Corp building. The building was quite large and there were no security guards there. After all, who would randomly enter a building filled with thugs?There were five men wearing suits and sunglasses. They were all tall and well-built. Shawn got out of his car. The 5 men immediately approached Shawn.The one with blond hair bowed his head in front of Shawn. “Good afternoon, Young Master.”Shawn didn't reply to the man immediately. Instead, he glanced at the people behind the blonde. These people were not the ones Shawn had asked for earlier. They were different people.Shawn looked at the blonde. “Who are you guys?”Shawn was curious about them. He had asked Darius to send Dio and his team, but what came was a different team. What's more, there weren't as many as Dio's team.The blond man took off his glasses. “I am Cecil. My team and I will carry out the mission that Young Master gave us. From here on, let us take care of it, You
“Amazing...” Cecil was transfixed by the scene. The quick movements Shawn made and the way he immobilized those people even for a trained professional like him, such movements were very difficult to do.He was stunned to think how an ordinary person could do such a thing. Due to the silence, he didn't notice one of the members of Tred pointing his gun at Cecil. “Die!”The sound of the gun rang out loudly. As soon as Cecil realized, everything was already delayed. Sparks came out of the mouth of the gun barrel. Cecil could not react to anything. In his mind, Cecil already thought that this was the end of him. “So this is how I die? What a fool...”However, unexpectedly before the bullet reached him, Shawn jumped up and blocked the bullet using his body. Cecil opened his eyes wide. He was transfixed by the sight of his master's body falling before him.Shawn turned around with a red face. “Are you just going to stand by while your master is shot?”Cecil immediately regained his focus. H
“Torture?” Cecil glanced at the bound men. They immediately shuddered when they saw Cecil's scary face. From just one look, they immediately knew that Cecil was not a friendly person. He had a fierce face and looked highly trained. The man swallowed his saliva that had even dried up. “Please, don't do that! I'll do whatever it takes! I don't want to die.” Shawn grinned. “Die? Wouldn't this city be safer without rotten loan sharks like you?” The man began to cry. The skin on his face turned white and his lips turned blue. “Huh? I promised I wouldn't do this. Please, let us go!” Shawn then approached and slapped the man's cheek until it bled. Two of his teeth were knocked out with just one blow. From the slap, the man immediately knew that Shawn was no ordinary person. If Shawn was serious, his physical strength alone could kill the people there. He thought that Shawn must have restrained his power so that the 15 people in the building wouldn't all die. Shawn glared at the pers
“Young Master, is he alright?” Cecil peeked out slightly from the edge of the wall. However, a barrage of pistol shots immediately rushed at him and made him go back into hiding. “Damn it! They keep watching me!”This situation was not in Cecil's favor. He picked up a stone and threw it. The pistol shot directly hit the stone. Cecil was silent for a while. “Not only are they fast, but they're accurate shooters. I must hurry before Young Master experiences-”A shout suddenly sounded from Malone's direction. A few shots rang out, but after a moment there was silence. There was only a groan from Malone.Cecil ventured out from his hiding place while pointing a gun. “Stay where you are!”When he looked in that direction, it turned out that Shawn had already locked Malone's hands behind his back and his two bodyguards had fallen unconscious. Cecil immediately lowered his weapon. “Young Master? You did it yourself?”Shawn glanced at Cecil. “I need rope to tie these guys up, Cecil.”Malone g
“Walk behind me, Dio.” Shawn gave the order to Dio. Then Shawn adjusted his tie as he walked down the hallway. There were three bodyguards with Shawn, including Dio.Today Shawn was going to attend a conference of the businessmen's association in Yihua City. It would be strange if the grandson of Darius Hubert walked alone. Therefore, Shawn deliberately brought Dio and his men.Previously, Dio had also escorted Darius to this event last year. However, now Darius wanted Shawn to attend. Shawn thought that his grandfather wanted to see how Shawn could adapt to life as a rich and famous person.Shawn felt that this difference had both advantages and disadvantages. And the disadvantage he felt the most was the way people looked at him. Even as he walked like this, he could see that the people at the conference were watching him. It was not uncommon for some of them to start whispering.“He's that guy, right?”“Yes, the young man who was fortunate to become Lord Darius' grandson.”“They sa
