Ariana sighed and glanced around before entering the car. The atmosphere inside was tense, but Xayne’s phone rang. He glanced at the message and then looked at the conflicted Ariana in the back seat.He said, “Ms. Ariana, I found out who that man is. His name is Henry Skinner, the CEO of Skinner Group. When you get back, you can check if there are any overlapping interests between you and Skinner Group.”Ariana raised her brows and said, “I know about the Skinner Group. It seems we do have some overlapping interests since we’re bidding for the same project. The net profit will be around three hundred million dollars.“Still, why would they target us in Covey Village’s development? It has nothing to do with Skinner Group, and they won’t even benefit from it.”Xayne calmly said, “It’s simple. You won’t qualify to bid for another project if there are flaws or scandals in Covey Village’s development. After all, a company with a scandal is something everyone carefully considers before e

The thug flew and crashed into a nearby trash can. He had a few broken ribs and was unable to get back up. The remaining thugs, including the baldie, narrowed their eyes. One roared, “How dare you! Let’s get him!”The four thugs charged at Xayne. However, he sent them flying in just five seconds. They all lay on the ground and howled in pain. Xayne approached the bald guy and stepped on his knee, asking, “You have one chance to tell me who sent you.”The battered and bruised baldie with shattered teeth shouted, “Do you think you can scare me? My boss won’t spare you if you harm us.”A second later, Xayne stomped on the baldie’s knee, creating a cracking sound. The onlookers, mostly elderly folks and housewives buying groceries picked up their things and kept a safe distance.The baldie screamed in agony as his face reddened. He could only watch as Xayne shattered his kneecap, leaving a gruesome mess on the ground.The baldie yelled, “You’re dead! My boss will kill you for this!”

“Blair! Look what Xayne did to me!” Sebastian ran to Blair like an obedient puppy when she appeared. Blair was fuming when she saw the injuries on his face. She pointed at Xayne and rebuked, “Xayne, explain yourself! Don’t even think about leaving if you don’t tell me what happened!”Blair liked Sebastian’s pretty boy looks. He even used various sweet-talking methods to deceive women.Xayne frowned and was about to speak when Serena arrived in a hurry. She was shocked to see what had happened. She quickly apologized to Blair and Sebastian, “I’m so sorry about this. Should we take him to the hospital first?”Suddenly, Blair slapped Serena and scolded, “How dare you speak out of turn!”The slap was so abrupt that even Xayne could not react in time. Then, his anger surged, and a killing intent filled his eyes as he stepped forward and said, “You’re asking for death!”Serena’s cheek bore a red palm print and a few bloody scratches from Blair’s fingernails. The former grabbed Xayne a

Dox sneered. “Donovan can’t reach into Cassina no matter how powerful he is. Does he think Mr. Morena’s a nobody?”Moreno was an underground kingpin who rarely showed his face. Still, he wielded immense power and a profound network. Most consider him the second in command in Cassina. Its underground forces were untouchable with him around.“So, what does Donovan want?” Dox’s subordinate asked.Dox frowned and answered, “Donovan said I crossed someone I couldn’t afford to and told me to go to Venzor and apologize to that person.”“How dare he?! You’re no longer in Venzor, so what gave him the right to order you around?!”“Yeah! Donovan can’t dictate to you when you’re here.”“Dox, you’ve crossed so many people, so what’s one more, right?”Dox took a shot of liquor and smashed the glass, declaring, “You’re right! Who the fuck is Donovan? He was my boss in the past, but no longer! I have my own men and influence now. Why should I listen to him?”He touched the two nubs where his l

Xayne crossed his arms indifferently. “Rest assured, someone will apologize.”Serena frowned and shook her head, saying, “Never mind. Just don’t say anything and listen to me.”“Sure.” Xayne nodded when he noticed Serena’s worried and anxious expression. Soon, the two entered the living room and felt the oppressive atmosphere.Blair and Sebastian narrowed their eyes at the couple. Then, Blair stood up and slapped Serena. It was sudden and caught Serena off guard. She could only take the hit.However, Xayne squinted and grabbed Blair’s wrist. He warned here, “I didn’t settle the score with you last time, and you already want more?”Boom!Immediately after, he radiated an intense coldness, catching Blair off guard. She shivered and took a few steps back, shouting, “How dare you act so tough, Xayne! Dad, look at this idiot!”Nigel yelled, “Xayne, are you threatening her?! We came to demand an explanation from you. What’s with your attitude?”Sebastian rushed over and shoved Xayne
