Bam! Bam! Bam! Tables, chairs, and benches around exploded; windows on the walls shattered into pieces, and the bar counter collapsed with a crash. Clark, like a cannonball, was thrown out, smashing through the wall behind him and crashing onto the cement floor outside.

"So strong." He managed to utter a few words before a large amount of blood spurted out, his body convulsing a few times before going limp.

He never imagined that he, the underground king of Keklia Town, revered by thousands, would one day lose his life because of a little girl! If given another chance, he probably wouldn't have taken on that job from the Maldonado family! But life had no 'ifs'. Karma had its retribution, and everything had its consequences!

Splurt! Junior, blood rushing to his heart, suffered even more. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura also weakening.

"Ah..." Junior fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, crying out into the sky with a heart-wrenching cry. 'In the end, was I too late!? Why would God punish me like this! Why so cruel! Laurel, she's just a child!'

Thud! Thud! Thud! Soon, hurried footsteps echoed from the doorway. It was Iris rushing in, followed by hundreds of fully armed police officers, each one alert as if facing a formidable enemy.

Hiss! As the group entered the lobby, they gasped in unison at the scene before them. What was once a bustling restaurant hall now resembled a hellish nightmare. They were chilling to the bone.

The front row of people, glancing over at Clark lying motionless in the distance, wore expressions of profound shock. 'The Underground King of Keklia Town actually died!? What on earth happened!? Who had the audacity to take the life of such a prominent figure on Keklia Town's turf!?'

"Stand by!" Iris withdrew his gaze from Clark's body, turning to his subordinates with a solemn voice. His shock was no less than anyone else's. Ever since Timothy called him earlier to handle the aftermath, he had vaguely sensed that something big was about to happen. So, as soon as he hung up the phone, he rushed over with his men.

He had fought with Clark for so many years, knowing his adversary very well. Clark was ruthless, cunning, and had thousands of men under his command, none of whom were pushovers.

Although he knew the members of the Shadowstorm Legion were highly skilled, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't possibly take on hundreds alone! If Junior had met with trouble under his watch, he would be in deep trouble himself! And now, seeing the scene before him, he truly understood Junior's strength!

"Yes, sir!" Everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Commander, are... are you alright?" Iris cautiously approached Junior from about ten meters away, stopping in his tracks. It wasn't that he didn't want to get closer, but Junior's overwhelming killing intent made it nearly impossible to take another step forward. Even so, he couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.

"You should be familiar with the Maldonado family's situation, right?" Junior took a deep breath as he stood up and turned to Iris.

"The Maldonado family?" Iris met Junior's gaze and nearly collapsed.

At this moment, Junior seemed like a demon just emerged from hell to Iris. His rage was overwhelming, his aura murderous, and his eyes like two sharp swords, instilling fear deep into the soul.

"Who are the main members of their family?" Junior continued in a low voice.

"The head of the Maldonado family is Nicolas Maldonado. Nicolas has three children. He also has a brother who is a skilled martial warrior," Iris took a deep breath to steady his emotions. "Nicolas's eldest son, Patel, and second daughter, Celeste, are mainly responsible for all the family's illegal businesses, such as nightclubs, private clubs, casinos, martial arts academies, and so on."

He continued. "His youngest son, Omar, manages the family's legitimate enterprises and serves as the CEO of Maldonado Group. Omar is also the most favored by Nicolas among the three children and is likely to be the next successor of the Maldonado family. He..."

"Does Omar have a daughter about the same age as Laurel?" Junior interrupted him directly.

"Yes, she just turned six today." Iris seemed to suddenly realize something, trembling all over. "Commander, what do you mean?"

"Omar's daughter needs a heart transplant, and Laurel happens to be a match!" Junior replied coldly.

Hiss! Iris shivered all over. The Maldonado family was truly asking for trouble!

"Where is Laurel now?" After taking another deep breath, Iris spoke again.

"Nicolas has taken her to Qiekery!" Junior's eyes turned bloodshot, every word dripping with fury.

"Ah!?" Iris exclaimed, trembling all over. He knew exactly what this meant!

"Immediately track Omar's phone and locate him!" Junior ordered in a stern tone.

"Yes, Commander!" Iris nodded vigorously and quickly took out his phone to give instructions.

In less than five minutes, Iris's phone rang.

"Commander, we've located Omar!" After hanging up, Iris looked at Junior. "He's at a private club under the Maldonado family."

"Send me the address!" Junior said briskly as he walked quickly towards the lobby door. At the same time, he instructed, "You handle the cleanup here quickly. Don't worry about Omar for now. I'll call you when I need you!"

"Tell your men not to interfere for now, Junior. Handle this personally," Timothy quickly added, catching up with Junior.

"Got it!" Iris shouted loudly behind them and quickly sent the address of the private club.

Boom! Two minutes later, Timothy started the car, pressing down on the accelerator, and the car roared out with a burst of speed.

At that moment, in the largest private room on the third floor, Omar was half-lying on the sofa, one arm around a stunning beauty, the other holding a cigar. Two other young men were also in the room, accompanied by equally attractive women, with cigarettes and alcohol in hand.

"Congratulations, Master Omar, on securing another major project. We'll be counting on you in the future!" The tall young man raised his glass towards Omar.

"Huh, rest assured, I won't let you down!" Omar smiled faintly and clinked glasses with him.

"By the way, Master Omar, how is your daughter's heart surgery going? Have you found a suitable donor?" The shorter young man asked after taking a puff of his cigar.

"Found it!" Omar's face lit up with a smile. "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she'll be on the operating table in half an hour!"

    "Look, asshole, you're really asking for it, huh?" Russell was gearing up to throw a punch at Junior.Halfway through his punch, Russell stumbled backward and hit the ground, where he stayed for quite a while, unable to get back up."You... you have the balls to hit me? I'm gonna make you pay dearly for this! Even if you beg for mercy, I won't let you off easy," Russell spat, fire burning in his eyes as he staggered to his feet.After his threat, he whipped out his phone and dialed a number."Junior, let's bail. Maybe we can check out some other places for clothes that fit better?" Rosemary returned with Laurel and their toy haul, visibly concerned, urging Junior to leave the spot."Rosemary, don't sweat it. If we don't teach these jerks a lesson, they'll keep preying on the innocent!" Junior reassured her with a steady gaze."Give me a sec," Junior said as he dialed Idris, who picked up immediately."Three tasks, make it snappy," Junior began cris

    "They're just looking at it. They didn't touch the clothes," the young saleswoman replied softly."What's there to see? They can't afford it anyway. If you let them touch the clothes like this again, don't even think about your bonus this month!" The manager interrupted her coldly.Harley could not bear to listen anymore and said, "What did you just say?""Am I wrong? Look at your clothes. Can you afford anything in our shop? These clothes are for rich people, not for you beggars." The manager looked disgusted."You..." Harley's face was red with anger."Miss, please mind your words! We're your customers and have every right to try on the clothes in your shop. Whether we can afford or not is none of your business." Rosemary stepped forward to argue."Let me tell you one more time. Only those who can afford our clothes can try them on. You're just wasting our time," The sales manager replied disrespectfully."Apologize to my family now." Junior imme

    Archangel, who had just hung up the phone, repeated in surprise, "Shadowy Realm?"As one of Darkmoon Legion's five top warriors, he naturally knew about the danger that Shadowy Realm had caused outside the borders.It was a world that existed independently of the country. Wherever it went, there was chaos, disputes, and riots.A year ago, Archangel had followed Junior to the Shadowy Realm and personally experienced its horror. He knew he couldn’t underestimate this sudden incident.Moreover, he felt that the Shadowy Realm they came into contact with at that time was only the tip of the iceberg."What are Shadowy Realm's men doing in Eastoria City?" Timothy asked hurriedly."I’m not sure yet. We have to investigate this as soon as possible. Don't let them destroy this city!" Junior shook his head again with a solemn expression."Roger!" Timothy and Archangel replied at the same time.***The next morning, Junior stayed home to

    "Are you... Are you truly a part of the Darkmoon Legion?" Shade's voice quivered as he spoke, his stature implying a deep understanding of the Darkmoon Legion's significance."Well, if it's just you and me, let's talk," Junior said, taking a drag from his cigarette."The events from five... five years ago have nothing to do with me. It was the Nelson, Ward, and Kline families..." Shade continued, his words strained."I'm not pointing fingers at you," Junior retorted. "But surely, there's something you can share, right?""What's on your mind?" Shade's eyes betrayed a hint of unease."Can you explain why you departed Eastoria City after the Dutt family incident?" Junior inquired once more."I... I was tired of the endless cycle of violence. I was only yearning for a place to call home." Shade's body trembled with unease."I advise you not to test my patience, or else you’ll regret it deeply," Junior interrupted.Knock! Knock! Knock! At tha

    "Are you looking for trouble today?" Aileen couldn't shake the feeling of apprehension as she observed Junior."I'm just here for a bit of excitement. No need to make a fuss." Junior took a drag from his cigarette. "Alright, let's cut to the chase. Hand over the cash, a mere one hundred million dollars. I reckon your establishment should be able to manage that, right?""Do you even know whose territory you're trespassing on?" Aileen's brow furrowed. "Daring to stir up trouble here, have you considered the consequences?"She naturally harbored doubts about Junior's true intentions. The strike from Archangel moments ago hinted at the presence of a formidable War Master-level opponent. It was evident to her that the trio had come prepared!"My time is limited, so you'll have to decide quickly. If you can't make the call, seek approval from higher up," Junior said calmly."Brat, if that's how you want to play it, let's see what you're made of!" Aileen's tone tur

    "How high can I go?" Junior asked with a smile."Under normal circumstances, we don't set a limit here. As long as the customer is willing to make the bet, we will accept it," the uniformed lady replied."Is that so?" Junior smiled and asked, "Then, is there anyone who has bet one hundred million dollars in a single round?"The lady choked as she thought to herself, "I've worked in this casino for almost three years, and I've seen many rich people. I've seen a few who bet a few million dollars or even 10 million dollars in a round. However, no one has ever bet one hundred million dollars in one round!"After carefully sizing up Junior and the other two men with him, the lady said, "Sir, are you serious?""Do I look like I'm joking?" Junior smiled again."Sir, please wait a moment." The uniformed lady was stunned. Then, she turned around and walked towards a VIP room across the hall.After a moment, the uniformed lady returned with a tall and beauti
