Jack smiled sarcastically. He deliberately stepped hard on Paul's big toe. “Relax, Mr. Hogweed. I like a bargain.”

Paul grimaced. Even though Jack's weight was far below his, it was still painful for Paul to have his big toe on a pedestal. But he couldn't get angry. Paul instead held Jack's foot, “Tell me sir, I'll do anything, as long as you keep my sins a secret from Grace.”

Jack removed his foot from Paul's big toe. “That's easy. Do three things for me.”

Paul paused for a moment to think. If it wasn't because of his wife, he wouldn't have done those three things for Jack, let alone kneel before him like he did now. Even so, he couldn't bargain.

“Yes, sir, with pleasure,” he replied while holding back his irritation.

“First, apologize to her.” Jack pointed at the woman named Laura Kills.

Paul turned to Laura and gave her a sharp look. In his heart, he strongly opposed Jack's request. His pride was being torn apart!  But his tongue tried to negotiate nicely, “Sir, I'll do anything, but not by apologizing to this bitch.”

"I will forfeit the full amount I paid, and that is more than enough. No need to apologize. She’s lucky to have met you; otherwise, she would have gone home with a lot of bruises." Paul was still intimidating Laura.

"Up to you. Just know, Sir, every choice comes with consequences." Jack responded to Paul with an even more intimidating look.

Paul swallowed hard. The looming shadow of his wife’s anger left him with no choice. Reluctantly, he answered, "Alright, Sir. I’ll do it." Paul conceded, grinding his teeth. He briefly punched the ground before standing up.

"Who gave you permission to stand?" Jack snapped.

Paul gasped. For a moment, the expression on his face reflected that he was cursing inwardly. Of course, Paul, who was used to being served, didn’t accept being treated like this. But could he fight back? Not at all.

Laura covered her mouth with both hands when she saw Paul kneel again and move toward her.

Laura instinctively recoiled!

"How dare you! Why—"

Before Paul could finish expressing his anger, Jack asked sharply, "Is that how you apologize, Mr. Lacton?"

Paul’s eyes widened when he heard Jack pronounce the surname that felt like a curse to him. He quickly corrected himself in front of Laura. "Miss Kills." Paul paused to suppress the nausea.

Meanwhile, Laura smiled with pleasure upon hearing that address. After repeatedly dealing with the crazy man named Paul, it was the first time her name was spoken with respect, and it turned out her name suited the occasion.

"Yes," Laura replied.

Paul looked up to give Laura a sharp look. As if to report him, Laura responded by looking at Jack. And in return, Jack kicked Paul in the back.

Paul forced a smile with a more prominent jawbone, “Miss, I'm sorry, please forgive me.”

“Yes, Mr. Hogweed, I forgive you.”

“Don't!” Jack said. He approached Laura. “Miss, this man has hurt you. You must not forgive him easily. At the very least, give him a hard slap on the cheek, a punch in the stomach, or even a kick in the penis. Don't be afraid. Mr. Hogweed will not retaliate, I assure you. Right, sir?”

'Damn it!' Paul said silently. He knew Jack wasn't asking a question, but was stating his demand.

“This is my second demand, sir,” Jack said, confirming Paul's prejudice.

Laura still hesitated. “But-”

“What are you waiting for, Miss? Don't think about it, just do it.”

SLAP!

Laura slapped without giving a signal. She slowly smiled, like she had gotten a precious gift.

“Well done!” Jack praised as he clapped his hands. He encouraged, “Harder, Miss!”

Laura nodded.

“Ouch!” shouted Paul as Laura grabbed his hair. He became even more annoyed when Laura laughed after seeing him in pain.

“Keep going, Miss! Make sure you do it with all your might this time.” Jack continued to provoke.

Laura obeyed like an athlete listening to her coach. She remembered the terrible things Paul had done to her. She clenched her fists, lowered her gaze, staring with focus at a single point, right in the center.

Paul shook his head, realizing that this time Laura was targeting his vital area. However, before his mouth could say anything to prevent it, the fateful event happened very quickly. A roar of pain from Paul followed. He limped around clutching his penis, before collapsing to the ground.

“He won't be angry with me, right?” Laura ensured her safety.

“He won't. He's a patient man. Also, as far as I know, Mr. Hogweed is a gentleman. He will definitely fulfill his promise.”

Paul didn't comment even though he was inwardly yelling at Jack and cursing Laura. All he did was clutch his penis while hoping there was no problem with it.

“Alright, two requests have been fulfilled. Now, my final request is to never see this young lady again, ever. I have sent you this recording, but I will also keep it. Once I see you go to this lady, you're finished.” Jack threatened without caring about the pain Paul was still suffering.

Without waiting for Paul to agree to his third request, Jack took Laura by the hand, leading her closer to his scooter.

Jack opened his suitcase. He said, “Put this on, Miss. Although it looks shabby, it's still quite warm.”

Laura accepted and put on Jack's black jacket. Although it was oversized, she felt comfortable in it. Then, she sat on the back seat of the scooter, riding on Jack's back.

“How about Mr. Hogweed?” Laura turned to Paul who was lying on the ground, clasping his legs together while his hand still held his penis.

“Let him enjoy a parting kick from you.”

Laura chuckled softly. "Alright, then."

"Where is your house, Miss?" Jack asked after the engine started.

"Paradise Roadway."

Jack furrowed his brow. "Where is that?"

Laura's face showed surprise. Who was this man who had helped her, yet didn't know Paradise Roadway? After a brief pause, Laura replied, "Sir, just go straight, then turn left at the intersection ahead. Keep following the road. I'll show you later."

"Alright."

The scooter moved forward, with no conversation between them. However, Laura lifted her hand while looking at Jack's waist. The evening wind made the man's white shirt billow. Hesitantly, she wrapped her hand around Jack's waist.

Jack smiled, without commenting or even looking down for a moment to see Laura's hand on him. He was simply focused on driving.

There was no conversation between them until they arrived at Paradise Roadway. However, Jack immediately furrowed his brows. "This..."

"I live here, Sir. Thank you for helping me."

Jack remained silent as he observed the surroundings of Laura's home. Many women with heavy makeup and minimal clothing were entering and exiting the building with men of various ages, though most of them were middle-aged.

Paradise Roadway was the name of a second-rate brothel on Bogettin Street. However, because this establishment was more famous, people had started forgetting the street's original name. It hosted various nightlife activities, including a disco, casino, and black market.

"I'm sorry, Sir, I can't invite you in for just some tea. People here prefer alcoholic drinks."

Jack felt awkward about this situation. This was his first time in a brothel, before it Jack's life was all about work and work, his only focus was Elena's happiness.

"Sorry. I thought you lived in a house with your family."

Laura smiled, her eyes welling up. "If this were in my village, my mother would be very grateful to you, even insisting that you stay for dinner."

"That must be nice." Jack nodded. "Alright, Miss, go inside and rest."

Laura sighed. "It's still working hours. But, I'll persuade my boss not to let the customers take me out. Sometimes they act violently, beyond reason."

"Well then, I’ll rent you."

    “You two are unbelievable,” Emma hissed, unable to comprehend their nerve. Her breathing turned shallow, her chest tight with frustration.Everything that came out of Victor and Elena’s mouths felt like toxic fumes polluting the air around them.“I was just joking. Don’t take it so seriously,” Victor said, placing a hand on Jack’s shoulder.Jack glanced at Victor’s hand; bold and uninvited.Victor left it there for a moment, trying to act unaffected.But under Jack’s sharp, silent, and piercing gaze, his confidence began to falter.Eventually, Victor pulled his hand back. Jack, without a word, immediately brushed off the spot where Victor had touched him.'What the hell? Does he think my hand is filth?' Victor’s temple twitched in annoyance.Though Jack still said nothing, the gesture alone made it clear, Victor’s touch had tainted his shoulder.Victor lifted his chin, trying to recover his pride. With arrogant flair, he adjusted his blazer.“Today is a good day for me. I have a meeti

    Jack's answer made Emma laugh happily. People who suddenly appear and act arrogantly do look like people who have lost their minds. Jack's smile became wider at Emma's laughter."Jack, just tell me that you're ashamed of my future husband. We're sitting sweetly in a luxury car, not hot, not smelling of dust and sweat, while you go everywhere still on your rusty scooter. Pathetic!"Emma's eyes opened wide. She couldn't believe it. "She knows your name?""Never mind names, the contents of Jack's old wallet, even how worn out his underwear is, I know. Haha!"Jack threw a glare at the woman beside the arrogant car driver. Meanwhile, Emma covered her mouth with her hand at the woman's inappropriate remarks."Elena, you made your ex-husband angry again. What if he sulks and doesn't want to come to our wedding? Who will help the servants wipe the plates and spoons? And who will pick up the leftovers from the table? Haha!"Emma was stunned. She found out that the insolent woman in the car was

    Jack closed his eyes. He prepared himself in case Emma vented her disappointment and frustration at being lied to. At least there was Laura who could bear witness that it all started with a misunderstanding."That's right! Jack is now working as a waiter at The Groove Spot. I mean, before becoming a waiter, did Jack like to share anything with others?"Jack opened and blinked. His face looked shocked, but also relieved to hear Emma's words. He held back his smile.But this was not the case with Laura. Her facial expression became more difficult. The wrinkles on her forehead became more numerous.Laura didn't understand why a conglomerate like Mr. Hall should be a waiter in a karaoke place. In a low and hesitant voice she said, "But..."Not wanting things to get complicated, Jack quickly interjected, "Miss Kills, um, I think we should leave now. This is Emma's first time going to the Redwave Group building. She should get there early so she can get acclimated." Jack closed with a crisp

    Jack inserted his fingers between Emma's fingers. The scene was exactly like when they were about to enter The Foot Locker."I told you, I'll pay for it. Don't worry."Emma obeyed, stepping after Jack while occasionally letting out a long breath. She was still confused and worried, but Jack's hand was enough to calm her down.Jack made Emma sit on the waiting chair. "Just a moment, I'll be right back." "Please don't waste your money. It's not too late to leave now. If you explain to them nicely, I think they will understand. It might be a little annoying, but, those shoes are still intact without any damage. They can sell them again to other visitors."Emma's long words were answered by Jack with a short, "I understand."Jack went to the cashier's desk by himself. He didn't want to surprise Emma because he was going to make the payment using a black card. A few weeks ago, his personal assistant had sent him the card to facilitate the transaction.When Jack took out the card, the cash

    [It can't be helped! The System has detected a woman who underestimates the Host's wealth!]Jack placed a hand in front of his mouth, before folding his lips inward to keep from laughing at the System's voice. He understood that, as his main financial sponsor, Emma's words might sound offensive to System.[Sir, Emma would faint if she saw your account book.]'You're right. I'd better not let Emma see it.'[Sir, you're out of line!]"How about this one?" Emma asked Laura as she pointed to the other shoe next to the mary jane loafers."Good choice, Emma. These are from the Ellevoir brand. Comfortable and cushioned flat shoes, made from premium leather too. The design is simple, but still feminine.""Yes, that's right, Laura.""Also, the stitching on these shoes is neat and strong, so they'll last longer. Unlike those loafers, these come in different sizes and colors. Apart from black, there are also white, beige, navy, and red colors. You can choose which color you like better.""Sounds

    The store assistant’s expression shifted the moment her eyes landed on the woman standing beside Jack. She was still smiling, but it was no longer bright or carefree. She hesitated, dropping her arms as she noticed Jack’s hand intertwined with the woman’s.“Miss Kills?” Jack’s face lit up with a wide smile. His voice was full of excitement as he asked, “You work here?”The woman who was both surprised and delighted by Jack's arrival at The Foot Locker was none other than Laura Kills, the prostitute who used to live in the Paradise Roadway brothel on Bogettin Street.This was Laura's second meeting with Jack after a long time apart. It was still vivid in Laura's memory how sweet and warm Jack Hall was. To her, Jack was like an angel who had shown up with love and compassion, and then vanished without ever seeking praise or reward.“Sir, please… don’t call me that,” Laura said with a soft, almost pleading tone. “I don’t deserve it. You can just call me by my name.” She gave a polite bow
