He was nothing but a cripple, unable to fight. Iris didn’t tell Gilbert about it. She simply believed that people shouldn’t base their hopes solely on physical appearance.
Others could easily control an impotent man.
At that moment, Gilbert showed his power. Mr. Kane, from Kane Medicine in the City, was treating Gilbert courteously.
It really surprised Iris.
“Mr. Kane, everything has its limit.”
I hope you can give it some thought. Carr didn’t say a word, but counted in his head. Then he slowly looked up to see Scott.
The city’s Kane family had some influence. Carr couldn’t underestimate them. But that didn’t mean Carr would tolerate Scott out of fear of the Kane family. What would people think if Carr backed down in response to a few words from Scott?
Carr?
In that case, Carr wouldn’t easily give in to Scott. “
Now he was in deep trouble. When Scott showed up, Mr. Levy thought he had found some trouble. However, upon discovering that Hamlin was also involved, Mr. Levy realized he was dealing with a more formidable opponent. At that moment, Mr. Levy found it extremely challenging to accept the truth. Carr completely gave up this time. He was filled with shock and fear.“Well...”Carr wanted to say something, but the words seemed hard to come out of his mouth. “Iris, what were the conditions they just made?”Gilbert glanced back at Iris and clarified his question. They asked for about three hundred thousand dollars in medical expenses, and they wanted us to apologize.”Iris bit her lip and spoke the truth. “Yes.”Gilbert nodded and didn’t say a word with his hands crossed.Scott and Hamlin frowned while looking at Carr.“Ask Gilbert to a
Yesterday, he specifically searched on the internet, but it said that Diamondheart Herb was just an ornamental plant. It had no medicinal value and certainly wasn’t what Gilbert was looking for.“This Diamond heart herb is a unique Chinese traditional medicine in the northwest.”“On the mainland, it is indeed extremely rare,” Gilbert frowned slightly, his tone helpless. Unfortunately, Diamondheart Herb was absolutely indispensable. If other medicines were missing, Gilbert could still replace them with medicinal materials with similar properties. However, Diamondheart Herb was the main medicine. Is it possible to substitute on demand?“Mr. Huxley, do you know what this medicinal material is like?” Scott nodded and asked for Gilbert’s detailed description.“Mr. Huxley, I will also help find this medicinal material.” After hearing this, Hamlin also said he w
After Gilbert said these words, Dylan gritted his teeth in anger, “Damn it...”Dylan pointed his finger at Gilbert and was about to scold him.“Boom!”Gilbert instantly raised his arm and slapped Dylan in the face again. Gilbert slapped Dylan and kept backing away. The swelling quickly spread to both sides of his face.Five clear fingerprints were visible at a glance.“Curse! Bastard!”“Hit him!”Dylan covered his face with one hand and roared in anger. It wasn’t until this moment that the six bodyguards behind him reacted. Despite following Dylan for a considerable amount of time, they had never witnessed him receiving a hit.They had always intimidated others. When were they harassed by others?Gilbert’s recent victory over Dylan left them utterly confused and stunned. At this moment, they hurried t
“Also beaten by me.”Gilbert nodded and admitted it again. Upon hearing this, Azalea looked at Gilbert in surprise. Did Gilbert sit in his wheelchair and beat Dylan and the six bodyguards?How was that possible? It was impossible even for a healthy person. Even if he was disabled, he could do what a non-disabled person couldn’t.“Believe in me, Azalea. I can protect you.”Gilbert slowly raised his head and looked seriously at Azalea.Azalea was slightly stunned, and still couldn’t wrap her brain around this. It was incredible for Gilbert, a disabled person, to take down seven adults just with his own hands.“Why are you off work so early today?”Seeing Azalea not speaking, Gilbert gently asked to break the silence.“I just...”Upon hearing Gilbert’s question, Azalea wanted to say something but stopped. For two years, she made time every day to go home and push Gilbert out of the house to soak up the sun.For two years, it had been her habit.If Azalea didn’t come home on time, she wou
It was absolutely impossible. Old Mrs. Cadenn would never believe that Gilbert was close to those big shots. It’s possible that Gilbert improvised it spontaneously to surprise you.“You’re not a fool. How can you take it seriously?” With a little thought, old Mrs. Cadenn replied. It must have been a lie, right? But this is what I saw with my own eyes.. Mae didn’t want to disobey old Mrs. Cadenn, but still couldn’t help but explain. Upon hearing this, old Mrs. Cadenn was astonished again.“What did you see?” Old Mrs. Cadenn frowned and asked.“I saw Mr. Kane of Kane Medicine invite Gilbert to dinner, and my second sister’s son-in-law, Jasper, is a subordinate of Mr. Lewis. Jasper spoke insolently to Gilbert, saying he wanted him to be a watchdog. The next day, they demoted him and made him work as a security guard at the gate.”“Ma’am, this...” Mae stopped then. This type of occurrence could never be considered a coincidence, correct? After hearing this, old Mrs. Cadenn frowned again
Gerald interjected respectfully, “Yes.”Theo nodded, closing the material in his hand. “Then go ahead.”“Take the material.” Theo handed it to Gerald.Gerald nodded and read the pages. “Gerald, I think we’ve been too cautious,” he couldn’t help but ask after reading it.Upon hearing that, Theo shook his head, walking to the window. With his hands behind his back, he looked outside.“Odom is quite high in the management hierarchy now. He’s powerful.”“No one but the general can fight against him.”“Unfortunately, I cannot command his elite army. So, before the general returns, we must be careful. Odom would do everything to obstruct the general from returning. During this period, we must be very cautious,” Theo explained.Gerald nodded in agreement to show that he understood. After all, he knew how powerful Odom was. He couldn’t even rule over all the officials. It wasn’t difficult for him to control the court. Gilbert couldn’t bear to argue with him any longer. Odom could destroy him
Mae opened her eyes for a moment. The card was familiar to her. She’d seen someone display this type of card while watching short videos. Given the high-level status of the card, the owner’s identity was quite extraordinary. Gilbert’s card differed from what she had seen. In the middle, there was obsidian.“Gilbert, what is this?”Azalea had never seen a card like this, so she asked in puzzlement. Gilbert turned the card and said, “It’s the Supreme Black Card. There are fewer than a hundred people who can get the global, limited edition card.”Gilbert delivered the shocking news in a flat tone. “Don’t be boastful.”Mae frowned, asking, “Where did you get this toy card?”“I know all of your possessions.”“There is nothing like this card." Mae did not hide that she had rummaged through Gilbert’s things.Gilbert glanced at Mae and offered no explanation. Mae found the card, but a sticker obscured it. The invaluable treasure was missed. As with many people, their appearances judged them a
The more sarcastic voices Azalea heard, the more resentment she felt towards Gilbert. Azalea believed in Gilbert so much that she thought Gilbert could help her solve the problems. She didn’t know that Gilbert would deceive her once again with a toy card. Gilbert frowned, “Maybe because they don’t have enough authority for this.”“Should we try another state bank instead?” The operator sneered, “Are you kidding me? Even in the city, the bank has 20 branches. And there are countless branches in the Hillwoods province.”“Do you think we don’t have enough authority? Now I wonder what kind of authority you need.” Upon hearing these words, the crowd in the room burst into laughter again. Gilbert’s words were hilarious.“Don’t have enough authority?”“I know what he meant. Based on his appearance, I believe he requires sufficient authority to address his disability.” The others laughed again.“I need to see the person in charge.”“You may not know this, but your representative may know,” G
“No, no, no. Sir, I assure you that none of that would happen. The murder suspects are undoubtedly Christian Luiz’s bodyguards.”“Very well, if you say so,” Gilbert nodded and stopped teasing Travis.Travis sighed in relief.“Someone come and take Mr. Huxley home in my car,” Travis turned around and ordered his subordinates.The department escorted Gilbert home in a car, treating him as though he had come for a day trip.Everyone in the room had mixed feelings after Gilbert left, especially the young man who briefly met him the night before.“Wow! 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. Besides Gilbert and
“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. How amazing! It really felt like a breath of fresh air. S
The car design looked incredibly majestic. It resembled a fierce tiger ready to pounce.The difference between a luxury car and a regular car was clear at first glance. Whether it was the car design or the paint job, every detail was incomparable.The car exuded an incredibly luxurious and noble aura at a single glance. Luxury, nobility—it was impressive enough to stun everyone!“Wow!”Azalea was stunned. She couldn’t help but let out an exclamation, although immediately after, she covered her lips with her hand.“Oh, my God! It’s really a Bentley!” Mae exclaimed with wide eyes.At that moment, her vanity was satisfied.The surrounding employees looked at Azalea with admiration.At that moment, Azalea and the obsidian-black Bentley were the most dazzling presence in the dealership.Azalea had a superb figure. Besides that, her appearance was top-notch. Standing next to the car, she looked like a model.The dealership manager couldn’t resist taking a picture with his phone. He wanted i
