Some businessmen who attended the banquet left.
"Aspen, you made a lot of money today. Three hundred thousand dollars for a raw stone worth 1.2 million dollars worth of emeralds! Damn it!"
"Don't talk about me; you also made a small profit. It's a pity that Adam lost money this time. Adam just left after cutting the stone, and his expression was very bad."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's have some fun. I'll pay!"
"Wait, why are there so many people gathered there?"
One of them pointed to the people under the brightly lit tent outside; a crowd surrounded the tent, and they could occasionally hear the sound of admiration.
"We're seeing green again!"
"This is another precious stone!"
They slipped into the crowd in confusion, only to see someone in the centre pulling out raw stones while a pile of jade was placed in a large basket next to him.

Bruce didn't expect to meet this man here. The head of the security team was no match for the man, and he was quickly knocked to the ground with the box in his hand. The box was specially made not to break the glass jade inside.A solemn voice was heard just as the man was about to pick up the box."It's been a long time, lad, and you didn't greet me."When the man heard it, he didn't immediately pick up the box but looked at the person in front of him warily. It was the old man, the Emerald King!The Emerald King was still wearing a light green coat, holding a dragon head staff in his hand, but at this moment, his body exuded a powerful aura."Haha. Uncle Adrien, I didn't expect you to still be alive after all these years." The man smiled and bowed slightly to the Emerald King with his clenched fist, but Bruce noticed his eyes constantly wandering as if searching for something.Bruce tried his best to hold his breath."You need to lo

"Lad, I intended to chase after you if I had time, but I didn't expect you to come to me alone. What perfect timing. You can go to hell with this old man!" Brodie punched Bruce in the chest.Blood gushed from Bruce's mouth, and he bounced away, landing heavily next to the Emerald King."Cough!" Bruce clutched his chest, holding his dagger tightly."Young man. Are you all right?" The Emerald King looked at Bruce and realised he was the young man who had snatched his raw stones at the auction."Damn," Bruce couldn't defeat Brodie alone. Bruce had to find a way."At least for now, I'm fine. Are you okay?" Bruce turned his head to look at the Emerald King beside him. Bruce's mouth twitched slightly; he stood up and looked at Brodie again."Oh, lad, you're pretty tough. I wonder how many slaps you can take" Brodie jumped up with a sinister smile and surprisingly raised his palm, emitting a faint green light.Bruce saw the palm that came to

When Bruce woke up, he found himself lying in a room."You're awake," a muffled voice came from the side of the wooden chair.Bruce pressed his head and sat up."Aren't you afraid?" The Emerald King asked."Afraid? What am I afraid of?" Bruce got up from the bed and turned his body around. Bruce was surprised to realise his body was not hurt at all, and the injury caused by Brodie earlier had not caused any impact on his internal organs."Is it possible?" Bruce thought of the Nine Rays technique, and he thought of the legend of Casanova. The Nine Rays technique was an internal force to attack with a strong recovery effect."Last night, you appeared for no reason. Your goal was nothing but a piece of glass jade. What do you think I should do with someone like this who wants to steal other people's treasures?" the Emerald King's voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard.Bruce shrugged and walked towards the Jade King. "I admit I wa

"What about spiritual practitioners? How strong are they? Can they walk through walls like they show in martial arts novels?" Bruce curiously asked because he had a secret book from the novel."The power of spiritual practitioners is divided into natural and trained practitioners. I don't know much about natural practitioners, but I know a thing or two about trained practitioners. Most importantly, they must increase their body, strength, and energy. Enhancing the body means strengthening their physique, and enhancing strength means training the body, but I'm unsure how to enhance energy."Hearing what Adrien said made Bruce feel like he had been transported to a new world."Which type are you, Mr Angelo?""I'm training my strength, but I'm old, so I'll probably stay at this stage all my life. Lad, you are different. You might have a chance to reach the top of trained practitioners." Adrien smiled and looked at Bruce.As Bruce scratched his hair, h

After Freddie took out his anger on Bruce, they both leaned against the fence."I got rid of you guys because of a special situation, and I'm sorry." Bruce looked at Freddie guiltily. After all, they still cared for Claudia and the others in the hospital for these two days."Forget it. We were sent here to protect you." Although Freddie is in his thirties and forties, he still has a good temperament."Haha. I promised you before that once I'm done with these few days, I'll treat you to a delicious meal and go to the best restaurant in Carthage." Bruce patted Freddie's shoulder.Freddie pouted. "We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about the current situation. I don't know if you did anything bad, but the three assassins on the Apol Kill List are all after you. You even fought Liam Bryant. That man is a class S criminal fugitive. We sent several Orcher Division teams to imprison him when we caught him.""I'm lucky." Bruce laughed."You wil

In the end, Freddie had no choice but to let Oscar join the team and temporarily become an observer of Amanda's shooting.This way, one more person in the team protected Bruce."I will make detailed arrangements next. Felipe, stay close to Bruce and ensure his safety. Amanda, you and Oscar will be in charge of the surveillance from afar. Once you detect danger, you will immediately take the highest position, and I will be responsible for the manoeuvrability." Freddie was very serious at the moment.Freddie approached Bruce and said, "I hope you can work with us for this period and not cause any more trouble."Bruce could hear the meaning of Freddie's words, and he was worried Bruce would act on his own."I can't promise you that, but I can promise you that if I want to do something, I will tell you as soon as possible." After Bruce finished speaking, he turned around and went downstairs.Freddie smiled helplessly and looked at the dumbfounde

The sudden loud noise made the chaotic room instantly quiet. A young man stood in the doorway with his hands in his pockets. The man's indifferent eyes swept over everyone in the conference room. "Who are you? We're in a meeting right now! Please come out." After being stunned, someone immediately stood up and reprimanded Bruce. "Meeting? Why do I feel like this is a wet market? I see a bunch of men chatting." Bruce scratched his ear and said to Felipe, "Don't you think so?" Felipe forced a smile on his face and followed behind Bruce. "Where did this brat come from? How dare this lad make a scene in the House of Jasmine? Call the security guards quickly." A slightly younger bespectacled man stood up and pointed at Bruce. When Bruce returned the gaze of the man with glasses, he smiled. As for the man with glasses, he stepped back, and sweat began appearing on his forehead. There are always coincidences in life. "Wow, what a coincidence. I remember when we met at the pasta place.

"What do you want? Do you think I won't call the police?" Ollie made a grim face.Bruce shook his head, his fingers tapping on the round table."Bruce, you have no authority to interfere in this matter. I will take care of it myself." Claudia felt anxious. The girl's face was pale and sweaty.Claudia knew what Bruce had done well, but they were in the office, not elsewhere. The girl was afraid that Bruce would do something impulsively. Bruce didn't care about Claudia; Bruce pointed at the pile of papers on the round table."I don't need to see this to know what it says. House of Jasmine's stock has plummeted, and the company is facing many problems. Also, are you thinking of joining a foreign company?" Bruce shook his head and looked at Ollie."Ollie Parsons, the second largest shareholder in the House of Jasmine. Didn't you say you were going to call the police?

"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.

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?"

"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

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.

"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.
