The stone darted through, piercing into Pedro's head, right in the middle, leaving a bullet hole in it. Blood began to splash to the floor. His pupils constricted as his body turned limp, and then he fell to the floor dead. Thud! Everyone's mouths fell open, almost as though they would fall off to the floor. August had just killed the chief of police, Pedro Sawyers, in front of not only the police force but also the supreme commander of the country's military. How audacious could one be after this? “I am a man of few words. I can forgive, but don't you dare provoke me for the second time.” August sneered, and he walked over to where Maxwell was. With each step August took, burned with so much heat in his direction, making him sweat even more than he already was. “If you think you can recruit me into your military and turn me against my country, then you are mistaken. I won't do that.” He said before looking away. “If you want to come after me for his death, you can.

“Huh?” August creased his brow after hearing what she said. He frowned and looked at her. “We have purchased this dress already, look elsewhere.” He huffed.“Purchase that dress? When and how? Poor people can now afford expensive things?” The woman retorted, looking at him with disdain writing on her face. She usually got what she wanted and even if August could miraculously afford it, he dared have the guts to oppose her?“Madam, they haven't bought the dress yet. I am not even sure if they can afford it. Look, they are so poor that they have been asking for a discount for a long time now. That won't work, right?” The sales agent chimed in and even condemned August and Caroline just because she wanted to curry favor with the couple.“Hey, that's a lie. You didn't even give us a chance. You neglected us right from the start, and now you dare to say such a thing about us?” Caroline sneered, stunned by what the sales agent said.“Shut up bitch! What is the difference? You don't look li

Not far away, after the incident that happened a few hours ago, Maxwell had a few things to settle in the city so he stayed back. At this time, he was having lunch at an expensive hotel when he received a call.Right after, his expression darkened. He clenched his fist tightly and stood up.“What did you just say? Someone impersonating my son and using the military to run scandals?” He asked, and when he received confirmation and also the fact that it was August Reed who found this man, his heart trembled.“Damn it!” He cursed before rushing out of the restaurant to his car. His escorts were already waiting around, so when they saw him, they became alerted to follow his lead.“Drive to Style Haven clothing store. I don't care how you do it, make sure you arrive there in ten minutes.” He said to the chauffeur before hopping into the car.Immediately after, the chauffeur sped off while several vehicles followed behind him in the convoy heading in that direction.…Back at the store, the

“What? He is dead?” Shadows' eyes widened. The reason being, for the little time he talked to Casper Zhou, he was able to tell that he was a tricky kind of person. He had been using exploding humans to try to kill August and what's more, he had so many things that were poisonous to the cultivators.Physically, it wasn't like he could take August on, but what he was capable of was quite scary.“Yes. And I think the council won't take this lying down. Besides, they are the reason I came to this country. I feel they might send people who are more deadly to either me or my wife. I can't guarantee you will survive staying with me, but I can protect you. Furthermore, I won't let you die.” August revealed.Anyone could be the enemy and be used against him. He wasn't scared, but he wouldn't want people around him to die. Besides, David was around, he could ask him to leave all his mission at hand and guard Caroline at all times, so Shadow could leave and not feel pressure.“It is an honor t

“Ooh, now I remember, while he was still a cripple, he do steal money from her. We heard the news. It’s so sad that I forgot. Now that I've seen your pathetic face, I can't help but remember.” Tara stared off with a smile before she pointed at August.“Yes, that's the face of a thief. Funny of you to call my hand a filth earlier when you are even worse. Why haven't you been arrested? Tell me, or did you bewitch Caroline?” Her gaze shifted to Caroline.“Yara, stop it. If you keep insulting my husband like that, I am going to leave.” Caroline's face darkened, and she was about to explode in anger. She didn't know how they got such news, but it was of no concern to them.August did take money from her, but it was to treat his legs and besides, with how he had helped her, she would forever owe him a favor but not the other way around“Wake up to reality Caroline. Accept the bitter truth. Your husband is a penniless man who has nothing to offer. I am very sure that you are the one who boug
