Meanwhile, in ClubWaves in Lan Kwai Fong.ClubWaves had stopped allowing any other casual customers from entering because of the news received. Many of the members of the Order of the Star who were in the vicinity also quickly rushed over to provide their support.They began guarding all the entrances and exits of the entire nightclub first in case Charlie and Marianne were to escape.Mr. Lanyon also brought his men with him as they quickly rushed over from Saffron Ridge.Charlie was sitting in the booth in the nightclub at this time. He picked up a bottle of Ace of Spades wine and asked Marianne, “Miss Marianne, would you like a drink?”Marianne shook her head nervously. “I never drink.”Charlie looked at her and smiled as he asked, “Are you afraid?” Marianne nodded. “A little...” Having said that, Marianne asked Charlie, “Should I ask my dad to come over?”“No.” Charlie smiled and said, “Someone will definitely call him later.”Marianne was helpless and said, “In the e
Marianne soon discovered a strange phenomenon. All the waitresses in the entire nightclub seemed to be whispering something to the guests at the other tables separately. Soon after, the guests who had communicated with the waitresses would then get up and leave immediately.She could not help but feel somewhat nervous, and she whispered to Charlie, “Are they already here? I think that there seems to be something wrong with these waitresses.”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Don’t be nervous. The good show is just about to begin.”With that being said, Charlie poured himself another glass of wine and took a sip of it.Soon, almost all the other guests in the nightclub were gone, leaving only Charlie and Marianne at their booth. Immediately afterward, all the lights on the ceiling instantly lit up, illuminating the dim nightclub as bright as daylight. The loud and explosive music also came to an abrupt end, and the DJ and waitresses quickly left through the staff passageway.
Charlie sneered. “You’re not worthy enough to ask me about my origin. Aren’t you here to solve the problem? I’ll give you a solution to the problem now. As the leader of the Order of the Star, you condoned your subordinates’ actions and assisted the evildoers. I will take your old age into account and not pursue this matter if you bow and apologize to me here today.”After that, he pointed at Rudy, who was next to Solomon, and said coldly, “You’re Dillion’s father, right? Your son plotted against Miss Marianne today. As a father, you did not teach your son properly and so, you naturally cannot shirk this responsibility. I will not hold you accountable if you kneel and grovel three times before Miss Marianne now.”Charlie’s remarks made both Solomon and Rudy extremely furious.This was especially so for Solomon. He had been in the underground world for most of his life, but he had never met anyone as arrogant as Charlie before. So, Solomon said angrily to Mr. Lanyon, “Mr. Lanyon, I
At this time, Shawn, who had just eaten dinner at his mansion, was lounging by the pool with a bathrobe on and a cigar in his mouth.Jenna, who still had a beautiful figure, was wearing a bikini as she accompanied him.Jenna, who hadn’t worn a bikini in a long time, felt somewhat uncomfortable and said, “Shawn, we have a guest at our house. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate if he were to see me dressed like this?”Shawn grinned and said, “What are you afraid of? Charlie is having dinner with Marianne, so he won't be back too early.”Jenna was helpless and asked him, “Why do you want to swim at night? Why are you in such a good mood?”Shawn’s belly was bulging as he smoked his cigar, and he smiled and said to Jenna, “I heard that the United States will be deporting Janus back soon. If it’s quick, he might arrive as early as the day after tomorrow!”Jenna’s expression turned pale immediately as she said, “Shawn, you really cannot let him off?”Shawn glared at her and asked coldly, “Why
Shawn put on his bathrobe and said lightly, “Alright, then. You should just wait at home. I’ll go and see what’s going on.”Jenna asked him, “Do you want me to come with you?”“No need.” Shawn waved his hand and said, “It’ll be more troublesome if you come.”***Soon, a convoy of three Rolls-Royces drove out of Shawn’s mansion on Steerlain Island.The convoy drove speedily to Lan Kwai Fong as soon as it came out.Meanwhile, in ClubWaves, Solomon was sitting in front of Charlie and Marianne with a smile on his face.Solomon looked at Charlie and smiled as he said, “Kid, you’re really lucky. You’ve caused a lot of trouble, but there’s a beauty like Miss Long who is willing to protect you at all costs. You’re really fortunate. You really have to thank Miss Long if you can walk out of this place alive tonight.”Charlie said indifferently, “You should be the one thanking her. If she hadn’t stopped me, I’d have killed you long ago.”“F*ck!” The faces of several of Solomon’s subordin
When Shawn saw that Solomon was already acting like a thug, he knew that it would be impossible for him to reason with the other party regarding this matter.So, his expression gradually calmed down as he spoke up and asked, “Mr. Star, how do you want to solve this matter? Just tell me directly.”Solomon looked at Shawn and then at Marianne, and he snorted coldly as he said, “Mr. Long, don’t say that I’m not friendly or unreasonable. I know that your daughter did not make a move on any of my Order of the Star members, and I know that she did not do anything to hurt my god-grandson, Dillion. So, you just need to fork out ten million US dollars to bring her back.”“Ten million US dollars?!” Shawn blurted out as if someone had stepped on his tail. “Mr. Star, have you made a mistake? You were the one who said that my daughter did not do anything. Don’t you think that you’re asking for a little too much if you want to take ten million US dollars for nothing?!”Solomon sneered, “Why? Mr.
So, his expression softened a little, and he smiled as he said, “Mr. Long, you are truly courageous! I appreciate that!”Shawn snorted and said, “Mr. Star, why don’t you tell me what your final offer is directly, then?”Solomon nodded and said, “Mr. Long, I will not speak in circles. I will settle this matter with you for five million US dollars.”Shawn frowned and then pointed at both Marianne and Charlie as he said loudly, “I can give you five million US dollars, but I will have to take them both away.”Solomon laughed out loud. “Haha! Mr. Long, you might not understand the situation, but the reason why you’re here is to solve your daughter’s problem. The reason why you’re asked to solve your daughter’s problem is because your daughter is not the main culprit in this matter. So, I decided to give you a chance to resolve this conflict for your sake.”Having said that, Solomon pointed his finger at Charlie and said coldly, “As for this kid, you will not be able to take him away to
Shawn was dumbfounded when he heard Marianne’s words.He subconsciously asked, “Are you insane?! Don’t you know that you will only die if you stay here?!”“I don’t care.” Marianne said with a firm expression, “I want to stay with Charlie regardless of whether I will stay and go, die or live!”Shawn became anxious, and he blurted out, “Marianne! This is not the time for you to be loyal! As long as one person can leave now, it’d be better than two people dying together!”Nevertheless, Marianne’s eyes were firm as she said without hesitation, “You don’t have to persuade me. You can go by yourself.”Shawn stomped his feet angrily. “Are you insane?! You will not be able to do anything by staying here!”Marianne said coldly, “I’ve already said that I don’t care! I just want to stay with Charlie!”“F*ck!” Shawn gritted his teeth. He then took out his checkbook and kept writing on it as he clenched his teeth and said, “I’ve let you do everything that you wanted to in the past, but that
