Scarlett smiled slightly. "Let's go, Freddie. If I don't get drunk, you'll never get a chance!"Frederick was frustrated, so the idea of getting a drink appealed to him. Scarlett drove both of them to a bar called Phantom. The moment they entered, they were greeted with a loud roar of music. It created a sharp contrast with how quiet it was outside. On the dance floor of the bar, the crowd was swaying to the music. They were relieving the pressure of the day, and they all seemed to be filled with youthful energy. Scarlett was wearing a red dress, and she looked so feminine and seductive that she immediately became the focus of attention the moment she entered the dimly lit bar. The men looked at her like hungry wolves, and their eyes seemed to glitter wildly under the dim lights.Scarlett had an amazing figure, and she knew exactly how to be sexy. It was clear that she was irresistible to men!Scarlett was not at all put off by the intense stares from the men around them
Frederick gulped down the rest of the cocktail with difficulty.Then he turned to the bartender, his entire face twisted into a grimace. "This is so hard to swallow. It's like drinking water. It's so different from what I had in Motheca. Get me three more glasses, and make it three times stronger."Frederick had lived in Motheca for a long time, and while he was there he had become accustomed to drinking the strongest of liquors. It was definitely much stronger than the Flaming Sex he had just had. Scarlett also downed her Bloody Mary. She had a high tolerance for alcohol, and she followed Frederick's lead. "Get me three more Bloody Marys, and make them three times stronger!"The two of them exchanged glances and burst into laughter. The distance between them seemed to have shrunk with just one drink.The bartender swallowed in shock as he looked at the two of them.He could tell that neither Frederick nor Scarlett was trying to act tough. They just had a high alcohol toleranc
Scarlett saw the look in Frederick's eyes changing, and she smiled. She was about to speak when a fight broke out next to them. A tipsy, conservatively dressed young woman was being harassed by a bunch of thugs.Scarlett sighed when she saw this. The young lady was obviously a bookish student. She must have come here either because she wasn't doing well academically, or had been unlucky in love.Young women didn't know how treacherous the world could be. Coming here alone was like sending a lamb into a wolf's den.Yet another flower-like young woman would be ruined tonight.The woman retained the last vestiges of her rationality, and she struggled desperately. "Go away. I don't know you. I miss my brother-in-law. He and my sister got divorced. I want to see my brother-in-law." She began sobbing.The thug in the lead laughed and pulled the drunk woman outside."Come on hottie! Since you're so pretty, your sister must be good-looking too."Once we're done with you tonight, int
"Do you want to die?" Frederick punched Jed. Jed felt intense pain. It was as if he had been hit by a hammer. As he clutched his face, howling, Frederick grabbed his hair ruthlessly and slammed his head down on the corner of a neighboring table. There was a humongous clang. Jed felt his world spinning, and he fell lifelessly to the ground. The crowd was shocked at what had just happened!Who was this person? Why was he so aggressive?Frederick ignored the crowd and pulled the young woman back from Jed. He shook her continuously, calling out her name. "Wake up, June! Why aren't you at school? Why did you come to the bar and drink so much?"The young woman was Priscilla's younger sister. June was different from the rest of the Millers. She had never looked down on Frederick, and she had worshiped him since she met him three years ago, when she had started high school. She thought Frederick was polite and gentlemanly, and she was very close to him. June was completely d
Rex was startled. He had never met someone arrogant enough to insult him on his own territory. "Dammit, do you think that you can just leave after beating someone up here? If you don't give me an explanation, both you and the woman will have to stay."Frederick was very worried about June. He knew that she never drank alcohol.He was afraid that the amount of alcohol she had drunk that day would be harmful to her health.He wanted to take her away and give her a checkup, but Rex was stopping him.He had initially planned to come back the next day and settle the score with the thugs, but Rex had just delivered himself on a platter. Today Frederick would show them what happened to people who tried to target June. "You want an explanation? You can all break one of your legs, and I'll spare your wretched lives. If this happens again, I can't guarantee that you'll live."The crowd was shocked at what Frederick had said. They felt that he must be drunk.How dare he tell Rex to brea
"Stop! Who dares touch my man!" A female voice cried out. Scarlett had been sipping her drink and watching from the sidelines, but at that moment she strutted out. She was holding a bright red Bloody Mary, and she walked up to them, her hips swinging from side to side.Under the dim lighting, Scarlett looked like a bright red flame in the dark in her red dress, and it immediately caught everyone's eyes. The thugs stopped involuntarily.Rex swallowed instinctively when he saw Scarlett and her gorgeous figure. He couldn't help feeling jealous of Frederick. He already had such a beautiful woman in her arms, and now another one had appeared. Rex said ferociously, "So, another beauty has come. I'm just lucky today!"He added, "Don't hurt the beauties. I'm going to enjoy them both tonight! I'm going to have an awesome time!"The thugs waved their sticks and began to charge enthusiastically at Frederick.Scarlett blocked their path. "Why are all of you in such a rush?"She point
The machete-wielding crowd spoke in clear voices, and the noisy bar fell silent at once. Rex, his enforcers, and the thugs were all confused about what the machete-wielding crowd was doing.Were they all the subordinates of Scarlett?Scarlett put down her glass and nodded in satisfaction. Then she pointed at Frederick."This is Mr. York. He's going to be my partner."The machete-wielding crowd was startled for a moment. They hadn't expected Scarlett to have a young boy toy as a partner.Also, why was Frederick holding another woman in his arms? With Scarlett's temper, how come she hadn't gone on a murderous rampage yet?Frederick must be extraordinary!The crowd was surprised, but they rallied quickly and bowed to Frederick respectfully. "Hello, Mr. York!"Frederick did not react at all. All he wanted was to get rid of Rex as quickly as possible and take June away.He did not know why Scarlett had suddenly called so many people here.Therefore, he turned to Scarlett and ask
Scarlett could tell what he was thinking, and her expression turned sinister. "Submit to me or die!"Rex was shocked. He finally understood.Scarlett wanted to take him, his underlings, and his territory!Rex shook his head vigorously and scrambled up, saying, "I-I'm under Mr. Griffin's command. We prize loyalty in this line of work."If I betray Mr. Griffin, I'll have to accept the knife and hole punishment according to our rules."He added, "Although there's more of you, I'm sure you wouldn't want to offend Mr. Griffin, either."Everything that had happened that day was beyond the understanding of the people who frequented the bar. Scarlett had brought more than 400 people here, and now Rex had admitted that he was in cahoots with Clive Griffin.Everyone discussed in low voices, "I never knew that Rex had the support of Mr. Griffin. No wonder nothing happened to them no matter what they did to those women.""No matter how powerful Ms. Samson is, she can't afford to offend M
