"Mr. Holmes..." Benjamin swallowed hard as he quickly called for Roderick's attention.

He locked eyes with Roderick as if he didn't see the dangerous thugs who were already very close to them.

"You wouldn't believe who is approaching our table right now, Mr. Holmes."

Roderick slowly dropped his wine glass as he sensed the seriousness in Benjamin's voice. He gradually looked in the direction Benjamin signaled and saw the underworld king and his men approaching.

'The whole matter has been settled. What have they come here to do?' Roderick thought inwardly with a smug smile.

Benjamin was surprised to see a smile appear on Roderick's face as he caught sight of the thugs.

They are currently in danger, and yet Roderick could smile? Benjamin didn't know what to think.

Then, he quickly explained his observations to him. "Mr. Holmes, this is serious trouble. How are we going to escape it? Everybody in the club ran away for their lives as soon as they saw the Silent Emperor walk in."

    In a moment, they all headed in their direction and halted behind Caleb. Their faces looked fierce, and they held a large number of dangerous weapons.Roderick was watching them, unbothered. Then, he asked Caleb, "What have you brought these kids here to do?"With confidence, Caleb replied, "They have come to put you in your place because you refused to comply with me reasonably."Roderick couldn't help but scoff. "It's good that there are many. They will be carrying their corpses out of here one after the other."Caleb suddenly felt a strike to his heart as Roderick said this casually. Even though he had no idea of his capability, he felt Roderick must be very confident of victory because of the bodyguard behind him—Tony Huggs.This made Caleb nod slowly, amused.Meanwhile, Tony's anger was already burning. He couldn’t hold the insult to himself.It was ridiculous to him that the fool, Caleb Houston, who was trying to persuade his boss to sell the land to him, could be so audacious a

    Roderick was completely stunned upon hearing this. He was confused about whether he should laugh or deliver a striking slap across Caleb's face.He stared at the elderly man and the useless card in his hand for a while, lost for words.Could it be that the two hundred and fifty million dollar loss had made Caleb lose his sense of reason?The land he bought, which he thought was valuable, had become useless after the government designated it as a wetland.Roderick's land, which he had greatly mocked as useless when Caleb purchased it, had become highly valuable after the government promised to develop the environment.Why would Caleb be so senseless as to offer him twelve million dollars to have the property?Wow! Caleb really is a great calculator.After all, Roderick purchased the land for just ten million dollars. He had even made Roderick two million dollars richer by offering him twelve million.Given how silent Roderick had been since Caleb spouted this nonsense, he nodded slowly

    The pot-bellied man was trying to seek help from Caleb as his mouth was forced to eat more sand, but the billionaire never cared about him.Instead, he was disappointed that the forged document had failed to work out as he had planned. He was concerned only about what mattered to him. He had no business with whatever was happening to the pot-bellied man.Tony, whose one of the joyful moments in his life is beating up those who mess around with the War King, was feeling satisfied as he taught the pot-bellied man some lessons.He didn't even give him the chance to chew the sand already in his mouth before forcing his mouth into the heap of sand to take more.At this point, the pot-bellied man had already lost his strength, so he couldn't even seek help any longer. He regretted confronting Roderick on Caleb's behalf earlier.If he had known that Caleb wouldn't even care about him if he got into trouble for his sake, he wouldn't have bothered to stand his ground.If there is any other wor

    The pot-bellied man couldn't believe his ears. He was surprised that Roderick was still very arrogant in front of Caleb Houston.Was he out of his mind, or was he just tired of breathing?He couldn't help but bark at Roderick, "Do you realize who is standing before you?! Mr. Houston of the Big Four in Glacia City? Are you out of your mind to make a threat in front of him?"Roderick's gaze was on Caleb when the pot-bellied man said this. He noticed how confidence grew on Caleb's face as the man barked.Then, Roderick turned to the pot-bellied man and said, "You shouldn't be in a haste, man. I will make sure you feed on the sand very soon. That's the only business I have with you."Embarrassment washed over the man's face right away. He was supposed to fight for face immediately, but Roderick had already turned to Caleb."Choose one of the options I laid out for you, or do you need my help to make the best choice for you?"Roderick's voice was assertive and bold.Caleb felt a sudden str

    All the workers had their eyes glued to their colleague in shock as he flew through the air a great distance after just a slap. In a moment, his body hit the floor with a thump, and almost all his bones were damaged."Huh?!" The pot-bellied man was the most shocked of them all. He couldn't understand how on earth a slap could send someone flying through the air such a great distance."Hurry up and check on him!" he quickly ordered his men before turning to Roderick. He pointed an angry finger at him and swore."You didn't just come to claim land that doesn’t belong to you, but you also harmed my worker. I swear on my life that I will make you regret this."The pot-bellied man expected his threat to make Roderick immediately plead with him. To his surprise, Roderick only stood and watched him, anticipating whatever the man was capable of.This hurt him deeply, as he felt powerless. He had thought his threat would work magic, but nothing happened.Then, he tried again. "I know you must

    A few days later, Roderick was at Lily Garden when Tony brought a report to him concerning Jonah's current location."My lord, after thorough research, I was able to discover Jonah's whereabouts."Roderick slowly turned to Tony and signaled him to spill the beans. "Where is he?""My research shows that he's nearby, in Meadow City."Roderick was amused to learn this. He couldn't believe that despite the huge amount of money Jonah had stolen from the Santos family, the only place he could think of to hide was Meadow City.It's quite ridiculous.Roderick had visited Meadow City a few days ago. If he had known about Jonah’s crime earlier, he would have taken his time to find him in the city and teach him a lesson.Well, there's nothing to worry about. Even if he hides in an ant hole in Meadow City, he would be caught in no time.Tony noticed how his boss had been silent since he shared the information. Then he proposed, "My lord, I will leave now to get him. I promise to have him tied lik
