Joe said arrogantly, “Regarding the dispute you're having with the Hamilton family, I can help you resolve it. The Hamilton family will definitely agree if the Stew family is the one to speak."

Joe then turned to Sonny.

“Of course. If the Stew family speaks, the Hamilton family will definitely comply,” Sonny said, confirming quickly.

Joe looked at Diana with confidence, waiting for her approval.

“Are you mentally ill?” Diana frowned. “If you're sick, you should go to a doctor.”

“What?” Joe's face turned grim. Never before had a woman rejected him like this, let alone under these circumstances. He always got what he wanted, and Diana should feel lucky that he gave her a chance.

“You're deaf, aren't you? You seem to have a bad case of it,” Dixon said, shaking his head. “We're going to eat now, so you'd better leave before you spoil our appetites.”

Without caring about them any longer, Dixon pulled Diana away.

However, Joe did not remain silent. He tried to block their wa

    After quickly rising from her seat, Diana avoided Dixon’s gaze. "I'm done eating! Time to get back to work!" she said hastily. After escorting Diana back to the office, Dixon sat in the security room downstairs. Shortly after, Paulo arrived, holding an invitation card in his hand. “Boss, we’ve received a suspicious invitation,” Paulo said with a serious expression, not joking at all. “As per your instructions, I’ve cleaned up anything connected to illegal activities. The other bosses in that illegal circle think they’re in control, but the police raids have caused them major losses!” he added. The losses weren’t just financial; some important people, including two high-ranking individuals, had been arrested and imprisoned. Now, all their anger was directed at Paulo. “They’ve decided to make us responsible for all of this,” Paulo continued, handing the invitation card to Dixon. “Tonight, I have to attend a meeting at Sonowhouse.” His tone lacked confidence, knowing that those peo

  • BIG BOSS, We Beg You!   Chapter 55-Launching His Attack!

    Paulo quickly understood the situation. It was better to keep Dixon’s identity a secret and not let him appear in public too often. Paulo would act as Dixon’s spokesperson in Reddof. They boarded a boat heading to Sonowhouse, located in the middle of the lake. The nervousness that Paulo had felt earlier was now gone. “Has Paulo arrived yet? Look at the time! Where is he?!” one of the bosses complained. “I bet he’s scared. That bastard is really making us wait too long!” All the bosses in the room were still furious. They hadn’t hired just any fighters to come. Billy had Bojo, while Davis had brought a martial arts expert as well. That was more than enough to ensure Paulo would lose and humiliate himself before them. “Business is like that. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You mean if your business profits, you’ll give me a cut?” Paulo’s voice came from the doorway, calm and confident. “When you all bought my assets at such low prices, I didn’t hear any complaints,” Paulo

    Before Bojo could react, Dixon was already in front of him, unleashing his fierce punch. His attacks were like an ocean current—vast and violent at the same time! Bojo felt like he was drowning in it. That powerful punch hit Bojo’s chest hard. A muffled sound was heard as Bojo flew back like a kite with a broken string, crashing into two tables. But it didn’t stop there. He kept flying until he slammed into the wall with a loud crash. Bojo opened his mouth, only to spit out a mouthful of blood before passing out. There was only the faint sound of breathing in the air. Some people even forgot to breathe. They didn’t know what had just happened. Everyone was waiting for Bojo to get back up, show his strength, and beat Dixon to death, but... In the blink of an eye, Bojo had already passed out, while Dixon stood there like he hadn’t even moved. “So much for all that trash talk,” Dixon muttered calmly. Billy’s expression darkened. The people around him stepped in to shield him. Davis

    After leaving Sonowhouse, Dixon and the others headed straight to Golden Jade Restaurant. Paulo's face was flushed with excitement, while Gobu followed quietly behind, trying to say something but never finding the courage. "Big boss!" Paulo handed Dixon a freshly prepared mini lobster. "Tonight must’ve been tough for you." Dixon shook his head. "A bit disappointing, honestly. I thought Reddof would have some decent opponents, but they were all just trash." Paulo nodded in agreement. To Dixon, Billy and the others were nothing but insignificant pests. "I'm not interested in dealing with this kind of trash, so I'll leave it to you," Dixon said as he got into the car. Paulo froze. "The big boss is leaving them to me?" It was easy for Dixon to give the order, but dealing with Billy and the others was no small task for Paulo. "One month," Dixon added. "I just need a month to train those scumbags. After that, they're your problem. I want to spend more time with my wife." With that,

    Joe spoke with a mocking tone, “I’ve already talked to the business partners working with them, so if they dare continue working with Diana, they better be ready to face the wrath of the Stew family!” Sonny looked excited. “Young Master, you’re amazing!” “Just watch. In less than a day, Diana’s finances will face serious problems, and their newly established company will be bankrupt!” Joe squinted, waiting calmly for the results. Joe didn’t feel any great sense of achievement, as he was just crushing an ant, and he didn’t even have to do it himself. But when he imagined Diana begging him for mercy when she was cornered, he felt deeply satisfied. “Young Master, about those business partners…” Sonny smiled. “My family has some related businesses. I was wondering if you could give them to us?” “Hmph, it’s just a small matter. If you want them, there’s a condition,” Joe replied arrogantly. “As long as Hamilton Group obeys and helps the Stew family dominate the Reddof market, the

    "Young Master, don’t get upset. Dixon has offended so many people; he’ll end up dead sooner or later. Let’s just wait for Diana to come crawling and begging for your forgiveness first,” said Sonny as he sat in one of the chairs. Sonny gave a knowing grin, one that every man would understand. “Young Master, I’ve already booked the presidential suite upstairs. I’ve prepared a few things I know you like.” Joe sneered as a wicked thought crossed his mind. “You sure Diana’s still a virgin? Wait till I’m done with her.” Sonny quickly nodded. “Don’t worry, Young Master, she definitely is. No way she’d fall for that crazy guy—Dixon.” Sonny felt like he knew Diana well. She was a good, innocent girl, like a blank sheet of paper, untouched. She had never crossed any boundaries before. That was something Joe was more than happy to take advantage of. “Huh, I think it’s about time. Let’s go see what Diana’s up to now.” Joe stood arrogantly. “If I can get her to humiliate herself in fro

  • BIG BOSS, We Beg You!   60-Beating the Old Hamilton Group

    Sonny was standing next to him, looking just as arrogant. When Diana went bankrupt and had to close her company, this territory would be his! Joe walked in as if he was strutting around his own company. He was cocky and looked down on everyone. He wanted everyone to witness Diana kneeling before him, apologizing and begging for mercy! “I was wondering who pulled this dirty trick and dared to make my wife so unhappy?” said Dixon, who appeared with an angry expression as soon as he saw Joe and Sonny. “Any last words? Spit them out now!” Sonny flinched at the sight of Dixon. He was terrified, remembering how Dixon had beaten him before, leaving him traumatized. But today was different. Diana was about to fall along with her company, so how could Dixon still be so confident? “Stop pretending!” Sonny sneered coldly. “This company’s going under soon, aren’t you all desperate by now?” Sonny glared at Dixon and Diana. “I told you before, going against the Stew family is a death wish!

  • BIG BOSS, We Beg You!   61-Steven's Defeat

    Not just the banks, but several other companies and business partners also felt something unusual. The competition between the old and new Hamilton Group wasn’t obvious on the surface, but behind the scenes, the conflict was intense. At first, many believed the new Hamilton Group wouldn’t last more than a day. But things turned around quickly. "Stop all projects with the old Hamilton Group. We can’t take any risks," one company executive said. "Once this contract ends this month, cut ties with the old Hamilton Group. We can’t continue this relationship anymore." "The old Hamilton Group has ordered from us. Don’t send it! Return their deposit, even if we have to pay double!" The winds of change were strong, and people soon realized there was now only one Hamilton Group in Reddof—the new one. But Steven Hamilton didn’t feel any of this. He was in a great mood. Sonny had called him that morning, telling him that Joe had made his move. He used the Stew family’s authority to put pres

  • 439-Dixon!

    Diana let out a long sigh. She hadn’t expected this day to come so soon. Beatrice had come knocking on her door—for Dixon. That strong and aggressive woman wanted nothing but Dixon. She was even willing to give up the Mopp Group, the business empire she had built from scratch. Diana wasn’t the only one stunned by this. Even Sophia took a deep breath, afraid she might faint right then and there. What was going on?! Sophia had just told Diana she didn’t think Diana was inferior to Beatrice because Diana had Dixon as her husband—and every woman would be jealous of that. But now, Beatrice’s very first words were asking Diana to leave Dixon and return him to her? And she was willing to use the Mopp Group in exchange?! Oh my God!! Beatrice was talking about the Mopp Group. It was impossible to build a second Mopp Group in this world, and yet Beatrice wanted to use such a company just to get Dixon back? "I won’t trade him," Diana said seriously, staring at Beatrice. She pre

  • 438-Leave Dixon!

    Beatrice had no doubts. She immediately booked a flight and headed to Reddof. She was determined to confirm whether that man was really Dixon—the one she had known. After Beatrice left the northern region, Abraham received the news. “Sir, Miss Beatrice has gone to Reddof. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to keep this secret,” Jack said with a worried tone. The Mopp family no longer opposed Beatrice marrying Dixon, even though they were the ones who broke it off in the past. They must have suspected something. “Do you really think the Mopp family knows the truth? They’re just trying to test her. They’re not sure yet, so they’re letting Beatrice go to Reddof.” Naturally, the Mopp family believed that no matter how different Dixon looked now, Beatrice would still recognize him. Jack was surprised. “Sir, have you already made arrangements?” “I don’t need to arrange anything,” Abraham sneered. “Dixon is a smart boy. He drove off the Behnam family on the surface, but behind the scenes,

  • 437-You're Fired

    That night passed in silence. The grandmasters of the Behnam family had departed for Reddof, but by dawn, not a single word had been heard. Those watching the movements of the Behnam family and Reddof had waited all night, yet no information returned. It was as if Gavo had taken the eight other grandmasters on a stroll, then returned to the Northern Mountains without touching anything in Reddof. This stunned the powerful families of the north. They couldn’t believe what had happened. How could this be possible? The Behnam family had departed with grandeur—nine grandmasters moving as one, like dropping a massive bomb into a lake. But the result? Not even a ripple. The bomb fell... and simply floated, discarded. “I don’t want to see anyone!” Gavo roared in fury. “I don’t want to hear anything!” “Anyone who comes asking about Reddof will get no answer from the Behnam family!” Gavo hadn’t expected so many to come that morning—some openly, some in secret—just to find out what had

  • 436-We're Going Home

    Gavo wore no expression on his face, but a murderous intent had begun to stir within him. He sat in silence late into the night. His eyes were half-closed, his body motionless, as if frozen in place. Suddenly, he opened his eyes—now glowing with a sharp light. “Dixon… tonight, I’ll kill you.” He stood up and vanished into the darkness. *** At the Hamilton Group residence, a pot of delicious grilled fish was being served as the family's dinner. William and Diana had just returned from working overtime, famished. “The smell is incredible!” Diana said as she inhaled the aroma from the pot. Her eyes lit up. “I’m digging in first.” She looked around and noticed Dixon was missing. “Where’s Dixon? Isn’t he the one who loves food the most? Why hasn’t he shown up?” *** At that moment, Dixon was standing outside in the yard of the bungalow. A cigarette burned low between his fingers. He squinted as he spotted a figure approaching. “How pitiful. The head grandmaster of the Be

  • 435-They Were Kicked Out

    Dixon Edric was incredibly famous in Reddof! How could this be? That was what Gavo thought. There were men, women, the elderly, and children—and each of them was furious, filled with righteous anger. Even leaving Reddof safely was now a problem, let alone daring to stir up trouble for Dixon. Gavo’s lips trembled as he felt all the blood in his body surge. “This… this is what they meant by Reddof’s forbidden territory? So this is why it’s called forbidden!” Gavo had thought the term only referred to Reddof’s underworld, to Dixon and his gang. But now he realized the entire city and its people were united in protecting Reddof and keeping everyone inside it safe. “Master Gavo…” The grandmasters who had come with Gavo were pale. There were already nearly a thousand people, and more were still coming. They had never faced anything like this before! “Who’s causing trouble in Reddof?!” “Do you think the people of Reddof are easy to mess with?!” Shouts erupted all around. Their

  • 434-What...what Exactly Was Going On?

    Dixon would finish his training session and then pick up Diana from her office. The drama series he was following would air that night, so he had no time to get involved in the same old mud-slinging mess. "Understood, Big Boss," Paulo nodded and left. Dixon closed his eyes again. From the sounds of the training, he could already gauge the progress of the trainees. He truly didn’t care about the Behnam family. *** Meanwhile, Gavo’s expression was grim. He was a grandmaster. He had come to Reddof personally, and yet Dixon had the audacity to say he didn’t have time to see him?! How arrogant! Did Dixon think the Behnam family was something to be trifled with? Gavo was nearly seventy years old, and yet he had never been humiliated like this. The middle-aged men with him were practically bloodthirsty, itching to tear Dixon apart. However, thirty men stood in front of them, their faces expressionless. "Sorry, our Big Boss is currently very busy and not accepting guests. Pleas

  • 433-I Don't Have Time

    But the people of Reddof had gone too far! They had used dirty tricks and shamelessly uttered bold words. They truly had no respect for Gavo at all. Now, everyone was watching from all sides, waiting to see how the Behnam family would respond. If Gavo backed down, the Behnam family’s reputation would be utterly destroyed. *** The second day passed. The Behnam family still hadn't gone to Reddof. Whispers began circulating among the powerful families of the North. “It seems that the one pulling the strings in Reddof is no simple person. The Behnams are scared!” “Gavo’s just trying to hold on to the last shreds of his reputation. So many have died in Reddof! Even a grandmaster like Ali Behnam was killed by someone from Reddof!” “Didn’t they give Reddof three days? There’s still one day left, so what’s the rush?” “You believe that? The Behnams have definitely backed down! They wouldn’t dare set foot in Reddof!” All these rumors only made the Behnam family angrier than e

  • 432-Two More Days

    Bondo was slightly taken aback at first, then said, “The descendants of the martial arts world are rather complicated. They have no respect for modern laws and societal rules, and I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to defend ourselves against them, Big Boss.” People like Sanos never cared about the rules of this world. He would kill with a single slash of his sword—enough to strike fear into those in the North. “They’re just a bunch of stubborn old relics. Bondo, you're overthinking it,” Dixon waved his hand dismissively, unfazed by the issue. “Those old fools... you don’t need to worry about them.” “Understood.” Bondo said nothing more and responded to the Behnam family with Dixon’s message. The response from Reddof brought a mix of reactions among several powerful families in the North who had been closely watching the situation. “Come if you dare? That so-called King of Reddof really has a big mouth!” “He must be insane! That’s Gavo Behnam! A powerful grandmaster! To challen

  • 431-Dixon Replied Calmly

    "Okay, Sir." They fell silent for a moment. Gavo sat in his wooden chair. His hair was white, and his long beard gave him the appearance of someone of great stature. The martial arts training robe he wore was spotless, without a single crease. "How long has it been since the main bloodline of the Behnam family walked the path of martial arts?" His cloudy eyes gleamed brightly. "This world may have fallen, but the spirit of martial arts has never died." As long as the Behnam family had Gavo, not even the powerful families in the north dared to touch anyone from the Behnam clan—especially someone at the grandmaster level. But the man from Reddof not only killed Ali Behnam—he used underhanded tricks to do it. Otherwise, how could he have faced four grandmasters at once? Gavo didn’t care about anything else. But his family would not allow one of their own to die in vain. Gavo's message was soon delivered to Reddof. Every movement in Reddof now reminded the powerful familie
