The entire room fell into a stunned silence after Theo finished speaking. The way he said it was calm, but the overwhelming sense of murder was palpable. He exuded an air of dominance from within, honed by years of battlefield experience. It was terrifying. Both the man and the manager were afraid to speak. In the city, few people could speak to embarrass Dylan.

Theo was the only one. He stated it bluntly at that precise moment. They didn’t dare to question him. Nobody but this mysterious figure could “deal with him.” You will be compensated. We will transfer the money to your account.

After slamming the table, he stood up and intended to leave. “Sir, you’re welcome, sir. It’s a pleasure to serve you. There’s no need to charge.”

Theo’s aura consumed the middle-aged man, causing him to sweat. This is for you. Just take it. Doing things right is better than anything else. Gerald scowled and spoke, then extended his hand to Theo.

“Silence! Absolutely!” The middle-aged man immediately nod

    Gilbert joined the Cadenn family two years ago. This led to a lengthy argument between Azalea and everyone else in the Cadenn family.Harold was also impressed with it. Since the day Gilbert arrived, he has been with Azalea for two years.“I, Dylan Killian, will take Azalea away from him.”Dylan’s expression was filled with joy as he spoke. Gilbert had also rejected Dylan once, so Dylan’s hatred for Gilbert was equal to Harold’s.“Mr. Killian, you have my support,” Harold said with a smile.I really need your help in this matter. Make it public. The more people know about it, the better.“I just want everyone to know that I took Gilbert Huxley’s beloved woman. It’s useless.”And I also want everyone to know that I cuckolded Gilbert.Dylan Killian couldn’t help but laugh before finishing his words.“Mr. Dylan, don’t worry. You can count on me,” Harold continued with laughter, eagerly expecting the day ahead.In the afternoon.It was at the market supervision office in the city’s Jayan

    “Hello, Iris and Mae.”Jasper knew he couldn’t hide it. He turned around slowly and forced a smile.Jasper was so embarrassed that his face turned red.“Jasper, why are you doing this?” Iris paused, scanned Jasper, and was full of questions.“Aren’t you going to be promoted? Didn’t you say you would be in charge of the entire Jayan district? How...?” Mae asked surprisingly.Jasper intended to make an excuse. But out of fear that it might have something to do with Gilbert, he didn’t dare to tell a lie.“Oh... The leader thinks I lack experience and need improvement. So, I start from the basic job,” Jasper said with a sad face after a few seconds of silence.Iris and Mae were puzzled. They were uncertain about Jasper’s promotion, yet he assumed the role of a gatekeeper.Didn’t he say he specially selected this position for Gilbert? How come he was guarding the entrance instead?“Mae, what are you doing here?”Jasper scratched his head and couldn’t invite Mae and Iris in because he didn’

    Yesterday, Gilbert said to Jasper before leaving the private room, “I just feel you’re perfect to be a doorman.”Later, Jasper, like a madman, gave Gilbert some gifts, apologizing to him.Gilbert added Jasper couldn’t be a doorman if he kept talking nonsense.At that moment, Azalea didn’t think too much, but she felt a little relieved.However, reminiscing about that time, Azalea felt a sense of suspicion when she saw Gilbert’s arrogance and Jasper’s servile demeanor.Azalea, feeling quite confused in her heart, turned to look at Mae.“Mae, what are you talking about? What’s going on?”Azalea frowned and inquired in a light voice.“Hahaha.”Mae laughed and placed the plate on the table.An issue has been bothering your father for the past few days. Because of anxiety, he has difficulty sleeping at night in a row. He was thinking of asking Jasper for help.But guess what? We observed Jasper acting as a doorman, dressed in his uniform, and observing the scene.“It’s really hilarious!”J

    Gilbert didn’t want to explain, “Maybe that’s all.”The day before, he told Hamlin that Jasper preferred the porter’s job. And they made a deal for Mr. Lewis to consider Gilbert’s words once he felt better.If he couldn’t feel better, Mr. Lewis could forget about it.Apparently, Hamlin must be much better than before. Although it’s not beneficial for us to gloat over the misfortune of others, the Randle family needs a lesson.Iris put down her chopsticks and said, “Gilbert, you did nothing wrong.”Upon hearing Iris’s words, Azalea was delighted.Iris and Mae finally approved Gilbert. It made Azalea very excited. The excitement she felt was even greater than the day she received admission to the key university.She did not know why she felt this way.Mae glanced at Gilbert but said nothing, rebelling as usual.“Azalea, come and give me a hand.”“I’m in a fantastic mood today. So I’m going to make some of my special dishes.” Mae rolled her sleeves and smiled.“Okay, I’m coming.”Upon he

    “I see.”Seeing that Gilbert showed no interest in continuing the conversation, Iris stopped asking him.“Dinner time, guys!”“Dad, come here to wash your hands. Gilbert, I’ll also bring you some water to wash your hands.”Azalea came out of the kitchen and asked them to wash their hands before eating.“I got it!” Gilbert nodded with a smile.They then had a tasty meal. The atmosphere in the house had just changed to a sweet one, unlike before. Sitting at the table, Gilbert mostly just listened to the others as they talked.Mae didn’t take it seriously because she knew Gilbert was a quiet person all the time. Gilbert looked at each of them, holding the fork in one of his hands. Suddenly, he felt a little touched in his heart.He believed he was strong enough despite all the difficulties of the past. But something had faded him. Once, Gilbert didn’t like Mae for what she had done.But when Gilbert put himself in Mae’s shoes, he fully understood her. Who would let their daughter marry a

    Gilbert took a pen and wrote the prescription in his hand. Angelica exhibited anti-oxidation and coagulation properties. It has the potential to ease ischemia-induced nerve damage. The microelement in astragalus had the effect of protecting the nerve. It could eliminate free radicals. It was also beneficial for nervous cell growth.“The effect should be strong enough.”“So the age of the herbs is really important,” Gilbert thought, noting the age requirements for the herbs.Gilbert soon listed a variety of herbs on the page.On old lady Cadenn’s birthday, Gilbert gave her a pill. Dylan, however, crushed that pill into pieces. Only Gilbert knew how many rich and powerful people would fight for that pill if they discovered it.It was truly precious. However, the successful production of this pill paled in comparison. As long as Gilbert took this pill along with his acupuncture skill, the effect would definitely be much greater than the effort.Gilbert had the confidence that he could re

    “Mom, why didn’t you want Gilbert to come here and help us?”“And the teacher said Gilbert should come here to apologize in person.”Tina glanced at Iris and inquired with curiosity.“Because...” Iris said.She paused for a moment. Last time, Gilbert used force to solve the problem and temporarily shocked Mr. Levy. But in this society, he couldn’t solve all problems with his fist.Mr. Levy had a large circle of friends. He could easily make new friends and exert control over Gilbert. Iris decided not to bother Gilbert about it. She wanted to solve this problem on her own.“Because Gilbert couldn’t beat the man this time.” Iris shook her head and reassured herself.Tina pursed her lips when she heard this. Then she said, “I think Gilbert is the best.”“That’s enough. Don’t bother Gilbert anymore.”“Gilbert can leave soon. He’s not obligated to help us.” Iris’s eyes darkened as she spoke.“Where is Gilbert going?”Tina nervously pulled the backpack straps onto her shoulders.Iris remain

    Mr. Levy sorted things out in a few words.Carr nodded and said, “That makes sense. We’ll do it this way.”Iris looked embarrassed and gritted her teeth, “I don’t have that much money.”The Cadenn family did not show any favoritism. Even though they favored Harold, getting $400,000 from the Cadenn family was not a simple task.So, she didn’t have that much money.“You don’t have the money? Why are you so arrogant?”“How dare you hit others? You’re so arrogant!”“I’m telling you, there are many people you can’t hit in the city.”Mr. Levy shrugged his sleeves and mocked them.“I never care who I can hit at all.”“It’s about whether I want to hit him.”There was a mocking voice from outside after Mr. Levy finished speaking. Then the door opened. Gilbert moved his wheelchair and slowly entered the room.“Gilbert.”When Tina saw Gilbert, excitement showed on her face. Iris felt joyful in her mind at first. But soon she was disappointed.What could Gilbert do if he came here? He couldn’t do

    “No, no, no. Sir, I assure you that none of that would happen.

That was so damn cool!” The young man exclaimed. He thought he could sense that Gilbert differed from others, but he didn’t expect him to be so extraordinary.It was four in the afternoon. Azalea was at one of the company’s branches. This was one of the rare occasions when Azalea left early because of a low workload. Dylan’s funding enabled the company to easily resolve all its problems in the past few days. With an alternative source for th

    Travis suddenly had an ominous prediction. He wasn't a fool. He wouldn't have received a promotion to his current position otherwise. A case of this magnitude did not require the involvement of NSIA.David's appearance here could only mean that he was here for someone involved in the case. Many thoughts crossed Travis's mind.Perhaps the reason David came to check the case was that Christian or Yvette knew him.Travis had millions of questions, but it didn't occur to him to think about the connection between Gilbert and David.Travis could never believe that a cripple like Gilbert knew someone as powerful as David.Hamlin was worried about the situation. If David came here because of Yvette, then Gilbert had no chance of survival. The final judgment took place at NSIA. The verdict could decide life or death.Hamlin wanted to help Gilbert, but now he was out of options."There are many people here," David commented as he looked around at everyone entering the room.

    “Um, please, be quiet.” A middle-aged officer asked Gilbert Huxley, “Where were you between eleven and midnight last night?”“At the casino,” Gilbert answered honestly.“What were you doing there?” The middle-aged officer followed up immediately, not allowing Gilbert time to think.“I was short on money, so I went to try my luck,” Gilbert replied without missing a beat.The Oleander Casino was closed yesterday. “How did you try your luck there?” the officer scowled.“That’s why I left,” Gilbert replied calmly, just as before.The middle-aged officer frowned and looked at Gilbert for a few seconds. Gilbert’s calm demeanor surprised him.“The victim, Christian Luiz, died while you were at the casino. Therefore, you are the prime suspect. Do you have anything to say about this matter?" The officer frowned and turned on the recording device.“No.” However, Gilbert only whispered one word.“Watch your attitude!”A younger officer suddenly slammed his fist on the table.“Let me tell you thi

    “Tell me what’s going on.” Gilbert nodded.“It’s just that Hawk rented out the entire Lakeside Hotel.” Hawk took this action to openly express his emotions to a female acquaintance. Azalea spoke haltingly, observing Gilbert’s expression throughout her explanation.Initially, she hadn’t planned on telling Gilbert so he wouldn’t feel bad. However, she felt the need to give him some explanation about this matter. If she didn’t, he would eventually discover the truth, given his frequent absences from home. If that were to occur, he would undoubtedly experience a significant decline in his emotional well-being.Upon hearing this, Gilbert slowly looked up and asked with a smile, “Do you think maybe Hawk might want to express his feelings for you?”Surprisingly, he didn’t seem frustrated at all.Azalea looked somewhat puzzled. She stared at Gilbert and asked, “You... Aren’t you angry?”Gilbert shook his head. Would a lion worry about a mere ant? Hawk may have been the eldest son of the power

    Upon receiving the order, the thirty vehicles’ passenger doors opened, revealing tall, muscular men below. Each of them wieled a five-foot-long steel rod. In particular, a 30-year-old man at the front of the group brandished a metal bat. The hundred burly men exuded a threatening aura.“Are you sure Christian is inside?” The young man stared at the Oleander Casino and lightly tapped the metal bat in his hand.A subordinate reported, “Yes! We heard Christian will be here today to interrogate someone. He’s definitely in there!”“Interrogate? He always preys on the weak. Let’s teach him a lesson today. We are doing Riverfall City a favor by getting rid of this scum. We will rule the criminal underworld of Riverfall City from now on!”The young man swung his bat and flexed his muscles before heading towards the Oleander Casino. The other burly men followed closely behind. As they stepped in unison, they exuded an aura of power and danger.There was an unwritten rule in the underworld neve

    Christian was the owner of the Oleander casino. At the moment, only a handful of Christian’s men were present in the casino because of its non-operational status. Christian sat on a high chair with fifty muscular men dressed in black behind him. He spoke to Gilbert, who was about two meters away.“We meet again, Mr. Huxley,” Christian said, laughing as he fiddled with the strap of his gold watch. Despite his situation, Gilbert maintained a serious face.He pondered, “I didn’t make many enemies in Riverfall City.”“I was still worried that my nemesis, Odom, might be after me. Now that I know it’s Christian, I feel safer.”Noticing Gilbert’s silence, Christian asked in a haughty tone, “I told you I would give you a day to think about it, Mr. Huxley. Did you think I was joking? Or do you believe that, simply because you know Mr. Kane, I am incapable of harming you?”Gilbert remained silent, seemingly unconcerned about responding to Christian. “This is your last chance. I will send you ho

    Mae mocked the neighbors, but they showed no signs of anger. In fact, they even considered flirting with her. When Gilbert flaunted the BMW 5 Series in front of them, they genuinely felt jealous.However, as soon as the difference between Gilbert and those people became more apparent, jealousy turned into respect. Once they admitted they couldn’t bridge the gap, all they could do was flatter Gilbert.“Mom, that’s enough. Let’s go inside,” Azalea said. She was very meek and didn’t want to cause any trouble.Mae was in a positive mood, so she also kept quiet.“Hey, leave work early. Take me shopping with you in our new BMW! That’s right, in a BMW!” As Mae walked towards the house, she called her husband, feeling quite full of herself.Azalea couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.“Don’t worry about her, Gilbert...”“For the past two years, our neighbors have ridiculed and gossiped about us. They even made fun of my mother when they invited her to play cards. However, she now perceives a

    Everyone was stunned. They had just displayed the BMW 4 Series to Gilbert, but the situation quickly changed. Gilbert received the BMW 5 Series he had purchased in front of everyone.They were completely embarrassed. Who could resist feeling uncomfortable at that moment? Those who had laughed at Gilbert found their smiles frozen on their faces. It looked incredibly ugly.Gilbert’s expression was calm as he reached out and took the keys. “Mrs. Cadenn, this is for grocery shopping,” he said clearly as he handed the car keys to Mae.“UrBk!” Everyone in the scene froze again. Did Gilbert just say he bought the car for Mae to go grocery shopping? Was Mae going to use a BMW 5 Series worth over a hundred thousand dollars for grocery shopping? That was too much of a showoff!Mae knew very well that Gilbert’s words were incredibly serious. Looking at the expressions of astonishment all around her, Mae’s vanity felt incredibly satisfied.
