"My daughter is beautiful yet naive. She can't see through your intentions for getting close to her, but I'm different. I'm a man."I understand what you're thinking, being a young man in his twenties."Anthony Scott reached out, attempting to push the other person away. "We'll settle your matters later. Step aside for now."The atmosphere in the room became tense after Anthony pushed the man twice, but the other person remained motionless, as if rooted to the spot.Anthony chuckled in surprise. Young people were always stubborn. Unfortunately, he had no idea who was standing in front of him. Otherwise, he might have been scared out of his wits.Just as he was about to push the person for the third time, Ashton swatted his hands."A scumbag like you, who abandons his wife and daughter, isn't qualified to point fingers at me."As soon as he said that, the black-clad sunglasses-wearing bodyguards at the door burst through and surrounded Ashton.The cold gleam of their knives shim
"Big fish in a small pond?" Anthony raised an eyebrow and smiled. "It's quite fitting to describe yourself that way."Clearly, Anthony did not understand the meaning behind Ashton's words."Take the money and leave quickly."Anthony turned back to the car. He felt that he had already communicated enough with the young man. If he were not foolish, he would understand the meaning behind his words and know how to do what was best for everyone.The white-haired old man pushed the suitcase forward."Five million is indeed a lot, but unfortunately, I don't need it."Furthermore, someone who abandons his wife and daughter isn't qualified to talk about vision and ambition."Still, as I said before, a big fish in a small pond? The grand world you see in your eyes, King of Saffron, may just be an ant in the eyes of others."Ashton turned around and walked away, leaving the white-haired old man alone by the lake.Perhaps he had not seen such a charismatic young person in a long time. It
Alora found the other party's irony striking.It was true because she had no idea who helped her for three years.She built the company from scratch, but she needed help. Dealing with the Black Draco Guild would be difficult.She was curious. 'People are driven by self-interest, so who would do good deeds without seeking recognition?' Alora thought.'Am I not worthy enough for them?'Travis took out a business card that featured the portrait of a kind-looking elderly person. "Jaden Chance, the most influential figure in South Edren.""You know him, right? Miss Latham?"Alora shook her head. She stared at the person on the business card.She did not know him. She was sure of it.She had never met him.'Why would he help me? What are his intentions?' Alora thought."That's weird. Why would the most influential figure of South Edren help a girl he never met? He called the Black Draco Guild headquarters and told me not to bother you, Miss Latham."For three years, we helped you
"Sir, do you need me for some foreplay?" Kiki, his sexy secretary, tried her best to unbuckle his belt.Creak!Suddenly, someone entered the office.Everyone in the office stopped. Alora was cast aside on the floor, disheveled.They stared at the young man in a white shirt at the door."So this is where you're hiding. It was a hassle to find you."Ashton smiled and looked at Travis. His gaze fell on Alora, who was on the floor. He was stunned.'Why is she here? Did the Black Draco Guild assault her?'"Who are you?"Travis leaned on the chair. He lit a cigar."My name is Ashton Levin. You placed the Black Death Order on me last night, Mister Travis. You ordered the whole South Edren underworld to find me, my family, and even my friends. It caused a lot of trouble for me, so I came here. I want to solve this today."Travis instantly sat up. The arrogance in his demeanor vanished and was replaced with hostility. Everyone could tell he was mad. They knew someone had to die that
A dozen burly men in black rushed toward him from all directions. Ashton was in a stance, and every punch he threw was like a loaded grenade with terrifying power. The bodyguards' weight nearly dented the floor as they were thrown to the ground.His footwork was smooth. The only thing left was terrible screaming."Fuck! You useless losers."Travis was stunned. He quickly hid under the desk.Kiki instantly followed suit. Her dress got caught in a chair, and it tore to her thighs."Don't kill me!"Sir, let me serve you. I'll make your time enjoyable!"Kiki lay on the floor in lingerie. She was a mess as she rubbed herself on Ashton."You women are so fickle!"Ashton stepped back and kicked her abdomen, sending her flying backward against the wall. She lost consciousness.Travis reached the door. 'I'm only three meters away! Just three meters away! The main exit is within my reach!' he thought.He thought his bodyguards would defend him if he bolted out the door!"Do you think
Tyson felt his heart racing.He did call his dad, but his dad scolded him. His dad did not promise that he would help.It was Travis Young, after all! Their family might be doomed if they get involved."Mister Cox, hurry up and show Miss Latham the evidence. Let's expose this scumbag. Our lawyers will do everything possible to send him to jail. That's for messing with Miss Latham!" Chloe said.Tyson took his phone and stepped aside. He called his dad."Dad.""What the hell are you up to now? I told you I'm in the middle of a meeting.""Dad, did you tell Mister Sandler what I told you today?"His dad was enraged. "Are you stupid? Do you know how rare it is for me to meet with Mister Sandler? Do you want me to ask him to help before I get to chat with him? And you want me to ask for the help of the City Council? Wake up!"I warn you. Something major is brewing in South Edren, so avoid getting into trouble. I'll disown you otherwise!"Then, he hung up.Tyson was stunned. 'My da
Jaden brought four bottles of liquor."The king of top-notch liquor wine, two bottles of 1935 Vintage Mystics worth ten million dollars, are they worthy enough?""Two bottles of 1992 Mystics sold at nine million dollars at an international auction. Are they worthy enough?""Forget the price. These four bottles of liquor are one-of-a-kind. They are so rare that you can't buy them, even if you have money. Are they worthy enough for you, Mister Ashton?"Ashton smiled and nodded. He did that purposefully, so the older man would get the good stuff. 'After all, everyone knows he's filthy rich. That old fool fell for it.'Jaden felt his heart sink when he saw his smile.'This punk lied to me! He wanted my valuable collection!'Ashton arrived at the Latham house. He casually placed his gift on the table. He did not care much about the liquor.Zane Latham smiled when he saw Ashton. He welcomed him to have a seat."Ash, it's great that you're here. I heard about what happened between yo
Zane hesitated to speak.'Is Ash a problematic person? Alora is young and reckless. She may have shortcomings in her conduct, but she won't fabricate accusations against others.'"Alright, that's enough. We rarely get together for a meal, so stop making a fuss. This is too loud."Alora's grandmother walked out of the kitchen with a spatula. Her hair was gray."Grandma, how many times have I told you to let the housemaid handle the cooking? You should stop working." Alora quickly went to support her grandmother.Tyson followed suit to please her grandmother."I've kept busy my whole life, so I'm used to it. Besides, you're all here today. What's wrong with preparing a meal? Look at you, making a fuss out of nothing." Her grandmother gently poked Alora on the nose.Alora thought it was sweet.'My grandma is still the best. My grandpa knows nothing, yet he wants to interfere with my marriage. He's too unreasonable.'"You must be Tyson, right? You're as handsome as I expected.""
