Not long after, Thorne arrived in a hurry. When he saw Wolf and his men sprawled out on the ground, his eyes widened in shock."Is this your handiwork?" Thorne asked in surprise."Just some light exercise.” Alexander replied with a grin."Impressive. Let’s talk in the car.” Thorne said, glancing around.Alexander nodded and followed Thorne into the vehicle."Barry’s been rising fast these past few years, even encroaching on some of my business. Boris and I tried to pressure him before, but we ran into issues.” Thorne admitted, looking frustrated.Alexander looked at Thorne in surprise: “Why is that? Can none of you handle that guy?""It's not that we can't suppress Barry, it's because the person backing him is way too powerful. The moment we tried to put pressure on Barry, we ran into all sorts of obstacles and eventually had to give up.” Thorne sighed heavily."Interesting. So, who’s backing him?"Thorne's face grew serious as he shook his head slightly: “We’re not entirely sure yet.

Alexander pointed toward Barry, and a subordinate standing behind Thorne quickly approached, taking Barry’s phone and asking for a contact number."Call the first person in your contacts for me.” Barry weakly instructed.After the subordinate dialed, he held the phone to Barry's ear. Barry said a few words to the person on the other end, and his face lit up with joy.But that joy was short-lived as it aggravated his injuries, making him grimace in pain.“Ouch! It hurts so bad. You just wait—my backup is on the way, and then I’ll show you who really runs Golden Harbor.”Thorne dragged a chair over and placed it behind Alexander. Once seated, Thorne pulled out a golden cigar box and slipped a cigar between Alexander's fingers.A match of snow cedar wood was lit, releasing its distinct aroma.The match lit the cigar, and Alexander took a puff before smiling: “Mr. Pittman, this is a fine cigar. The finest from Havana, rolled on the chests of young maidens, so it carries their fragrance.”

Turning back, Randi grabbed Mary by the collar, shaking her roughly: “You're just an uncivilized brat with no parents to teach you! My son wanted to be nice and play with you, but you had the nerve to touch him! I'm going to teach you a lesson today! Einar, come here and hit her!""Remember what I told you—our family doesn't need to fear anyone. If someone touches you, you beat them until they're almost dead. I'll take care of everything. Don't let anyone bully you!" Randi shouted.Mary cried and struggled, but she couldn't break free from Randi's grip."Auntie, let me go! I do have parents! He hit me first, and I didn't touch him. You're a bad person! You're both bad people!" Mary sobbed, her eyes filled with tears, utterly pitiful."You lying brat! How dare you call me a bad person? You're just a wild child with no manners. I'm going to rip your mouth apart today and teach you some respect!" Randi snapped, raising her hand to slap Mary. But before she could, she felt someone grab he

Dewey was frightened, never expecting Talon to support Alexander to such an extent. Thinking about his position as department head, the generous commissions from selling medicine, and the attractive pharmaceutical representatives willing to offer him anything, Dewey made up his mind. "I’ve realized my mistake. I shouldn't have defended my family without knowing right from wrong. In a moment of impulse, I made a grave error, tarnishing the hospital's image. I promise to correct my ways and hope Young Master Reynolds can forgive me and give me a chance to turn over a new leaf.” Dewey finished, looking at Randi with a hint of pleading. If Randi contin

Brogan’s head spun, his mind dazed from the kick, thinking: “What is happening?”Ignoring him, Chairman Scott took two steps forward, bowing before Alexander: “Young Master Reynolds, it was my failure to properly manage the conduct and discipline of the association, leading to this mess. I take full responsibility. Please punish me as you see fit.”Chairman Scott felt that when facing a superior like Alexander, avoiding responsibility would lead to severe punishment, but if he admitted his mistakes, the punishment might be lighter.Seeing Chairman Scott behaving like a cowering dog in front of Alexander, the Brogan family of three were completely bewildered.Who exactly was this Alexander?This was the question Brogan most wanted answered."Chairman Scott, do you like taking responsibility?" Alexander asked as he evaluated him.Chairman Scott immediately broke into a cold sweat, shocked that Alexander wasn’t following the usual script. This was true authority, and only someone as form
