This woman knew that she had to protect Claudia Jennings. If Sarah told Claudia, it would mean Bruce's mission had indirectly failed.
At that time, Mr Jennings hired him to protect Claudia secretly. Bruce had to return the money from Mr Jennings if the mission failed. But Bruce had already spent half of the money he received. He could only return Mr Jennings’ money if he needed more money. So, Bruce had no choice but to surrender to Sarah.
Bruce glanced at the paper containing Sarah's details and casually crumpled it into a ball. Then he threw it into the small rubbish bin next to him.
"Hey! Did you read it correctly? Don't throw away the paper. Those details are very important. You'll be in trouble if you can't answer their questions!" Sarah exclaimed anxiously.
Bruce rolled his eyes and reminded Sarah, "You'd better wor

As they walked into the Villa, Bruce and Sarah were immediately surrounded by relatives."Hello, Uncle Max, Aunt Elvira, Uncle Lucas, and Aunt Jessica," Sarah greeted the two middle-aged couples in front of her.According to this information from Sarah, Bruce was quite familiar with the woman's family. Sarah's grandmother had three children, two boys and a girl. Her father, Finley Johnson, was the third child and a veteran.Sarah's father's older sister was named Jessica Johnson. She was a doctor, and her husband, Lucas Turners, was a college lecturer. Later, Max Johnson, who was the first of three children, became a wealthy businessman, while his wife, Elvira Morels, was a housewife.Bruce greeted them politely while observing them."Sarah, you've finally come too. We've been waiting for you."At that moment, a middle-aged woman walked out of the living room. Although her face was wrinkled, anyone could tell she was beautiful when she

Logan knew that if he continued his game without the help of others, he would lose badly. And he would probably give up and leave the game.However, Finley was only ten points ahead. It was a close match."Mr Johnson, you are still the wiser man in chess," Bruce said humbly."Haha! Since you're knowledgeable in chess, sit down and play a game with Finley. He's made much progress and honed his skills," Logan grumbled as he pulled out a chair and invited Bruce to play with Finley.Finley smiled bitterly and said, "Father said it himself. We must not be merciful on the battlefield."After saying that, she looked at Bruce and observed him from head to toe."You're quite good at playing chess.""No, don't joke around. You should continue your game with Mr Johnson," Bruce said as he tried to get up, but Logan stopped him."You're Sarah's boyfriend, which means I'm your senior. That's why you should listen to me," Logan said, pr

"Grandma made this scarf for me?" Sarah looked at her grandmother in surprise. She then glanced at the scrap of cloth in Granny Johnson's hand. "I'm not good at anything other than embroidery. This year, I planned to gift each of you a handmade silk scarf on my birthday. However, all the scarves are finished except yours." "I'm old and careless. With so little time left, I got anxious and unfortunately messed it up." Granny Johnson sighed. She spoke softly with teary eyes. As soon as Sarah heard that, she bit her lip slightly and hugged her grandmother tightly. "Grandma, it's okay. I like this scarf." Max and the others stood nearby and fell silent at that. They glanced at the table where all their scarves were neatly arranged. And the scarves were embroidered with their respective names in one corner. Surprisingly, it wasn't their real names. For example, "Vickson", "Janie", and "Lee". These names are nicknames given by Sarah's grandparents. "You're no longer young. Why are yo

"Who needs to be looked after? I didn't say I wanted to marry him. Maybe I would consider it if she embroidered a thousand one hundred and eleven handkerchiefs for me." Sarah raised her head with an expression that showed she didn't care.Bruce smiled and said nothing. At the same time, the data in his mind had changed drastically.[Grandpa: 7096. Grandmother: 9096. Father-in-law: 10%. Mother-in-law: 20%. Relatives: 13 0/0.]It seems that Bruce has captured some important information. Everyone has their hobbies or sensibilities. If he offers them what they like, then the size of his affection will increase considerably."Okay. Since the embroidery is done, we can go downstairs for dinner," Max said with a smile."Okay, let's eat. Bruce, don't mind Sarah's temper. She has a good heart despite her sharp tongue. Please be patient with her.""Grandma!"They walked down the stairs talking and laughing. But when they reached the first floor

Everyone who hadn't tasted the appetiser was surprised to see Max's expression."Uncle, do you have to act like that? It's just a cucumber. Uncle, you're used to eating delicious food, so it must be good for you to eat a cucumber occasionally." Paula pouted and started playing with her mobile phone.Usually, his mum and dad, Jessica and Lucas, would reprimand him, but this time, they were immersed in the delicious food in front of them. Even Grandpa Johnson and Grandma Johnson secretly tasted the appetiser before them.The appetiser portion is small, so they finish it in just a few bites.In an instant, only one appetiser plate was left on the table. The plate was in front of Paula."Paula, since you don't like it, I'll finish it for you." Sarah licked her lips, a hint of a sly look in her eyes. The fork in her hand was immediately dipped into the cherry tomatoes on Paula's plate."Paula, it's a shame if you don't eat it. I'll eat it for you

Bruce sat down and picked up his cutlery. As he looked at the plate on the table, there was an awkward expression on his face. All the food on the table was gone; there wasn't even any soup left."Oh my. Is the food really that good?" Bruce thought. The dish he made should be enough for twenty people."Hmm..." Only then did Logan act. He stared at the empty plates on the table; his family unconsciously looked away from him, and finally, his gaze fell on Paula, who was still eating with the bowl in front of her.Finally, she put down her bowl and patted her stomach. "I'm full.""Well, Bruce, do you want to make another dish yourself?" Logan looked at Bruce with an awkward expression.Looking at the cooking table, Bruce resignedly said, "The ingredients are all gone.""All right, very well. Isn't it just skipping meals? You won't starve to death. Hurry back to your room. It's cold outside." Sarah walked over and patted Bruce's shoulder with a

Bruce almost choked on his noodles. "Hmm, I'm not an electrician, and I don't know where the wire broke. What do you want me to do?" Bruce said with a wry smile. Bryce was thinking about whether any skills could be used, but there was probably nothing he could do to repair his power source. A task can only be completed with the necessary materials. What's more, it's about electricity. Bruce was not a god. He couldn't just find where the wire was broken and fix it immediately. "Just think about it. Don't you know everything?" Sarah looked at Bruce. Perhaps because of Bruce's previous actions, Sarah considered him an all-rounder. Meanwhile, Bruce showed his resignation. "Sarah, don't make things difficult for Bruce. The power is off, and he can't fix it." Iris spoke for Bruce. "All right, all right. It's not raining too hard outside; you should leave now. We're both used to being in the dark. It's okay." Logan shook his hand with a sad look. "Even if we can't regain the power, th

"What's wrong with them?" Bruce asked in a low voice. The looks in Jessica, Lucas, Iris, and Finley's eyes became a little strange."Sarah, take Paula to another room to play," suggested Iris."Bruce, I think you're a good person, and I won't treat you as an outsider. We can talk about anything for our family except Uncle Max's children," Iris whispered.Jessica and the others sitting beside them sighed, and a hint of sadness appeared in their eyes."Children?" Later, Bruce realised he had learned about this family from Sarah.Everything was expected, but what stood out the most was that Max and Elvira had no children.Max was the oldest of his siblings and would soon turn sixty. However, Finley's daughter Sarah was almost in her thirties, and Jessica's daughter Paula was already in high school, but Max still had no children. It was so abnormal."It started many years ago," Iris began her story.It turns out that Max met Elvira

"You said your evidence was stored in a shopping mall in the centre of Carthage?" Bruce looked at the Masked Fox suspiciously.The woman nodded. "Yes. How can I take those things with me? Of course, I'll find a place to hide them."Bruce thought for a moment."Bruce, I think this woman might be lying to you," Derek said cautiously.Bruce looked at the Masked Fox again."Believe it or not, but I value my life very highly," the woman responded with a shrug."Sarah, wait here. You can call the police and have them come. I'll go with him to get the evidence." Bruce made a decision.The Masked Fox smiled and looked at Bruce. "Young man, aren't you afraid I will attack you if you go alone?""Before you attack, my sword will split your veins," Bruce replied coldly.Bruce pushed the Masked Fox out. There were several cars parked on the roadside by the men in black.Bruce casually found a car and threw the Masked Fox in th

Roy continued to crawl on the ground. Roy did not have the courage of Dextor, who could kill everyone, including himself, and all he wanted to do right now was live.SLASH!Roy screamed in pain. There were four Soul Swords embedded in his thigh."Release me. Please let me go. Bruce, we are still family, after all." Roy prayed while crawling.Bruce moved his finger slightly, and four more Soul Swords pierced Roy's back."Family? Now you know that we're family? I haven't forgotten how you, the family, treated us, mother and daughter."A murderous aura and a cold feeling, at this moment, everything appeared in Bruce's mind. Four more Soul Swords were stuck on Roy's back."Ah, Bruce. I am guilty. I know I'm guilty; I'm just a dog from the Waylen family. That, those things are not what I want to do." Roy cried and shouted; he was scared.SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!Roy's arm was in pain as four Soul Swords were stabbed into h

"At that time, you already knew that person was a fraud. Why didn't you expose that woman at that time?" Sarah asked in confusion.Bruce shrugged his shoulders. "Of course, I'm not sure if that woman is an imposter, and if she really is an imposter, and I expose her directly, won't you be in danger?"Bruce walked towards Roy."And I really couldn't find any clues at the time. I'm not sure who was trying to hurt Mr Maverick.""So, instead of looking around like a blind cat, I co-operated. After saving Sarah, I created a fake death scene."Bruce took out the Supreme Gold Card from Roy's pocket."Some things that are not yours will never be yours!" Bruce said indifferently."Son of a bitch!" Roy gritted his teeth, and his hand pulled a gun from his waist.Bruce's fingers moved slightly, and a cold light flashed.A hand holding a gun landed on the ground, and blood splattered all over the floor."Ah... my hand."

In a villa on the city's outskirts, the morning light shines on the villa's roof."This is the first time I've felt so happy waking up in the morning, and with a glass of wine too. What a nice life." A young man in a nightgown holds a glass of red wine in his hand."Don't get too cocky, Lad. Everything is set. From now on, there is no more Mr. Maverick or Bruce in Carthage.""Everything in the underground world of Carthage is yours."Several figures walked out from behind. "But don't forget who gave you all this. Dextor, Mr Shelton."Roy narrowed his eyes and looked at Dextor in front of him. A smile appeared at the corner of Dextor's mouth as he raised the glass before Roy."Of course I understand. Without the Waylen family, I wouldn't have been able to take down my godfather.""It's all thanks to the Waylen family and Mr. Waylen," Dextor said in a flattering tone,"Feel free to let me know if you need anything!

Bruce was surprised to see Sarah with a wicked smile on her face."Cough! Why? You..." Bruce vomited another mouthful of blood and instantly fell to the ground.In disgust, Sarah threw away the bloody dagger in her hand and walked to Roy's side while swaying her hips."Mission accomplished. That dagger I used was poisoned, so she can't show her skills now, no matter how strong they are.""You'll be poisoned to death in half an hour." Sarah smiled wickedly.Bruce looked at Sarah and said angrily, "You're not Sarah! Who the hell are you?""Ranked third in the Apol Slayer Ranking, Masked Fox.""Sarah" licked her lips and grabbed the back of her neck.A crack appeared in Sarah's skin. Then, Sarah's scalp and hair were removed. The real face under the mask was revealed. The person had short hair, a sharp nose, fair skin, and sly eyes."How, how did this happen? Where is Sarah?" Bruce gritted his teeth and roared."You

"This is indeed too coincidental; could it be that someone..." Sarah muttered. Bruce raised his head and looked at the rehabilitation centre behind him."This is not possible. It must have been planned.""Someone got rid of all these people before we could get any information and left us with no leads!" Bruce clenched his fist.Now, all the clues that might have existed were gone. Even if Bruce believed in Mr Maverick, it was useless that he had no evidence to prove that Mr Maverick was not a drug dealer. The court needed evidence!"Then what should we do now?" asked Sarah. Bruce said nothing."Well... we haven't eaten since this morning. How about... let's eat something?" Sarah whispered.Bruce raised his head and walked while pushing his motorbike."Hey, where are you going?""Eat.""Who do you think is behind this? Everything is well planned; the person behind all this is not someone to be underestimated.""And I know Mr Maverick's influence very well. " While eating, Bruce frowned

[Location: at the police station.]"Come on, let's go see Mr Maverick now." Bruce looked at the door of the police station."Come with me."Sarah led Bruce to the police station."Captain Johnson, why are you back?""Sarah, you're home! I heard that something happened to the Sea Queen that you travelled on Yakut during a business trip!""Captain Johnson!" Everyone in the police station was surprised by Sarah's arrival.The two went to the innermost room of the police station where the prisoner was."Why is Mr Maverick still locked up at the police station?" asked Bruce.Bruce says the inmate must be transferred to prison after the first hearing."I heard that because Mr Maverick hasn't explained much, and the police still want to know how many drug dealers there are in Carthage, so he's locked up here for now."As Sarah explained, a gate blocked her way."Captain Johnson."

Bruce couldn't believe the boy had undergone so much change in less than half a month. But Bruce could still recognise Leviathan's voice."Bruce, did you return because of Mr Maverick and the others?" Leviathan walked up to Bruce.Bruce looked around. "Why did you wake up so early? Did you not sleep well?""I woke up when you opened the door, Bruce. I have installed infrared alarm devices on the walls and all the gates of the welfare house. Once someone enters the welfare house, I will be alerted by the tablet."Leviathan took out a small tablet, which showed the display of some software. "Infrared alarm device?""Did Mrs Sanders buy this tablet for you? How did you get an infrared alarm device?" Bruce asked in surprise."I bought the tablet while I installed the infrared alarm device and others in the welfare house. I did it when everyone was asleep at night.""Miley and Mrs Sanders don't know about it.""The whole thing cost

"Look out!" Bruce suddenly pushed Sarah away.BANG!The bullet hit the ground and left a hole."Again?" Sarah fell to the ground. Fortunately, Sarah quickly held her hands to the ground to balance herself. Otherwise, Sarah would have been injured.Saran wondered why people in Carthage could get guns so easily. Sarah had already experienced several gunshots in a day.BANG! BANG!There were two more shots. Despite the silencer, Bruce could still hear the gunshots faintly.Two Soul Swords appeared in Bruce's hands; then he parried the two incoming bullets—the impact produced sparks."There is one right in front, 1 o'clock direction.""One more at seven o'clock."Bruce confirmed the shooter's location through the bullet trajectory. Bruce looked to the side and kicked the wooden door next to him."Go in and hide inside. I'll get rid of them!" Bruce pushed Sarah into the room.BANG! BANG!Ther
