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
The hundreds of men called out accusingly to Rex at the same time, "Submission or death?"Rex swallowed when he heard the cry of hundreds of men. It sounded like the roar of a dragonAlthough the consequences of betraying Clive were terrifying, joining the legendary Dragon League was something that those in the underworld would not even dare to imagine.Rex gritted his teeth. He could just go to Clive and accept the knife and hole punishment. "I submit!"Rex's subordinates were all frightened out of their minds. They surrendered once they saw that their boss had done so. "We submit."Scarlett nodded gently. She had achieved her goal, and she announced it to the crowd. "The daughter of Drake Samson is back! I will take back everything that belongs to my father!"Rex took a sharp intake of breath. Was Scarlett going to take back everything that belonged to Drake?Didn't that mean that she was planning to unite Jenaire City once more?She was very ambitious!After Scarlett had
Frederick heard Scarlett's shout, but he had no intention of stopping. He stepped violently on the legs of the rest of the thugs.The thugs were already trembling with fear from what they had just witnessed, and they couldn't even stand, let alone resist.They all stood there like sitting ducks as Frederick broke their legs with a single step."They violated women. If they were your family, what would you think?"When you were oppressing them, did you ever think that one day you would be kneeling here at the mercy of someone else?"You deserve to get your leg broken. If you don't change, the punishment will be severe."With every leg he broke, Frederick made a cold, accusatory statement.If anyone had ever questioned the thugs this way before, they would have snorted and beat the person up.Now they knelt on the ground with no strength to resist. They could feel the exact same things as the people they had hurt in the past.When they heard Frederick accusing them, there was
"Mr. York made himself very clear. Your broken leg is an extra punishment because you were talking nonsense. Now I'm going to break your other leg. Do you accept this?"Rex's head shot up. There was a ferocious look in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind about something. He roughly pushed aside the person standing beside him and grabbed his machete.Scarlett's expression changed. Was Rex going to fight back?However, Rex gritted his teeth, raised the machete, and swung it down hard.There was a hissing sound as fresh blood spurted out. Everyone stared at Rex in shock.No one had imagined that he would plunge the machete into his own leg.Now, both of Rex's legs were injured. He lay weakly on the ground, panting heavily. "I… I don't need you to do it, Ms. Samson… I did it myself… I will turn over a new leaf from now on."Even Frederick hadn't expected Rex to become so self-aware.As the issue was resolved, Scarlett turned to the crowd in satisfaction and said, "Everyone wh
When they arrived at the mansion's front door, Frederick hurriedly picked June up and rushed toward it. Scarlett said inside the car, "Remember to go and see the doctor tomorrow. I need to settle some matters with the Dragon League, so I won't be picking you up."She added. "You've got to restrain yourself tonight. Don't stay up too late."Frederick looked resigned as he ignored her and carried June inside.After he had placed her on the sofa, he saw that his white shirt was covered in blood.He did not know if it was Jed's or some of the other thugs. Frederick remembered that June had a severe phobia of blood and would faint if she saw it. He was afraid that it would scare her, so he took his jacket off and tossed it aside. June lay on the sofa. She was still drunk, and her face was as flushed as a begonia. She kept murmuring to herself. "Don't go, Frederick. I miss you so much, Frederick."Frederick gently stroked her hair and said comfortingly, "I won't go. I'll come an
The red marks on June's body were fading slowly, and they would be completely gone by the next day. Even the effects of the alcohol were wearing off due to the needle treatment. She looked like she was about to wake up.At that moment, the doorbell rang urgently. Frederick wondered who it could be at this hour. Apart from Vivianne and Scarlett, there shouldn't be anyone else who would come.He slowly opened the door to the villa and saw a beautiful face contorted with fury.Frederick was confused. "What are you doing here?"It was none other than Priscilla. Priscilla scoffed. "Why do you think I'm here? Where is my younger sister?"Frederick answered without thinking. "She's lying on the sofa."Priscilla's expression changed at once. "Lying on the sofa?"She pushed him roughly aside. "Move!"When she entered the house, Priscilla was furious. Her own sister was lying on her ex-husband's sofa, scrabbling to put her clothes on. She looked like a frightened rabbit.Frederi
Frederick had no way of clearing his name now. Priscilla stormed over and raised her hand to give him a tight slap on the cheek. But someone like Frederick would never let that land. He immediately grabbed her wrist, stopping her.Priscilla felt like her wrist was in a vice. It was so painful that tears nearly burst forth from her eyes.Only then did Frederick realize he seemed to have gripped her wrist too hard. He quickly let go of her, afraid he might hurt her.Priscilla clasped her stinging wrist before slapping Frederick in the face. "You shameless man!"But Frederick shielded the blow with his other hand, making the slap land on the back of his hand instead. Though it didn't land on his cheek, the slap still felt like a knife slicing through his heart. They had been married for three years. Yet now Priscilla was hurting him of her own volition! When June saw Priscilla hitting Frederick, she quickly went up to ask him, "Are you okay, Frederick?"Priscilla angrily stompe
