Charlie’s words caused Wester to instantly suffer an emotional breakdown.As soon as his legs went weak, he fell to the ground with a thud as he cried and begged, “Sir... I’m just a subordinate of the Order of the Star. Please have mercy on me and let me go on the account that I’ve already lost an arm...”Charlie frowned and said, “I really don’t understand gang members like you. You are usually the most ruthless people, but you guys are also the most cowardly when there’s trouble. Can’t you be a little tougher?”Wester cried and said, “Sir, I will not be able to continue working in the underground world anymore in the future if you break my leg as well...”Charlie asked him, “Are you thinking of taking care of your injuries so that you can continue being one of the Double Pride in the Order of the Star?”Wester hurriedly shook his head and said, “No... I didn’t mean that.”Charlie sneered and said, “You will still make enough if you make an honest living with an arm and a leg. O
Marianne continued questioning, “So, you lured them here deliberately so that you could deal with them?”“That’s right.” Charlie said indifferently, “You should look at a person’s boss before dealing with them, but you also have to choose a suitable place to take action. I could not choose a location where they could flee directly or cause a commotion in the downtown area as soon as I made a move on them.”Marianne looked at the light-hearted expression on Charlie’s face, and when she thought of what he had just done, she could not help but say, “You’re a devil!”“Devil?” Charlie frowned and said, “I, the devil, have never thought of violating you, but that guy in the car trunk is not only thinking of violating you himself, but he also wanted his gang of strong and muscular men to violate you as well. So, who do you think is right, and who is at fault?”Marianne blushed before her face turned pale. After a long while, she said angrily, “Even if that’s the case, you cannot use viole
When Charlie saw Marianne’s despondent expression, he suddenly felt some sympathy for this eldest young lady of the top wealthy family in Hong Kong.Although Shawn was rich, Marianne still did not have a complete childhood.Her father’s betrayal and mother’s early death had destroyed her childhood completely. Charlie and Marianne’s experiences were also somewhat similar in this regard. Although Charlie’s parents had had a good relationship, Charlie’s childhood had fallen apart completely after his parents had passed away. Since then, Charlie had lived in the orphanage for ten years. Although Mrs. Lewis had taken care of him, it had still been a painful decade for Charlie.This was because he had had to re-accept the reality of his parents’ death every day for the first five years, and he had had to fight the sadness of missing his parents every day for the next five years.What truly healed Charlie for the next twenty years and kept him calm without going astray were the earn
Marianne blinked and then used her slender and fair hand to gesture in the direction of the beginning and end of the food street as she said with a smug smile, “This entire street is mine!” “Wow!” Charlie could not help but sigh in admiration as he said, “This boss is so generous!” Marianne smiled and said, “You have to pay some form of price if you want to keep some people and things.”After saying that, several street vendors on the side of the road saw Marianne and greeted her respectfully. “Hello, Miss Marianne!” “Miss Marianne, you’re here!” “What would you like to eat tonight, Miss Marianne?”Marianne greeted them one by one, and she could even refer to everyone by name. After she was done with the pleasantries, she said to Charlie, “Hong Kong’s economy has been growing rapidly over the past few years, and this kind of place would have been long bought and ready to be redeveloped. At that time, the owner of the street increased the rent several times overnight after
Marianne was already completely helpless when dealing with Charlie.Although she knew that Charlie was very strong, she still had no confidence as to whether Charlie would be able to overpower the Brown family and the Order of the Star. However, she already had a plan in mind.If this matter were to really end up being so bad that it could not be ended, she would go and beg her father to step in.If her father still could not solve the problem, she would go to the police directly, then. After all, it was Dillion who had led people to follow them for today’s matter, and they were even planning to kill Charlie. What Charlie had done could be regarded as self-defense. At that time, her father and the police could work together to put pressure on the Brown family and the Order of the Star, and there might be a chance to intervene!After that, Marianne took Charlie to a very busy wonton noodles stall.When she saw that the small tables in front of the stall were already full, she
Having said that, Marianne said with some sadness, “Everything here is the same as it was before aside from the fact that they are old now, I have already grown up, and my mother is no longer here.”When Charlie saw that Marianne was a little depressed, he pretended to be relaxed as he said in a light-hearted manner, “My parents passed away very early. After they left, I became an orphan, and I lived in an orphanage for ten years. In comparison, your situation is still much better and happier.”“You’re an orphan?!” Marianne looked at Charlie in surprise with a look of disbelief.Charlie nodded and said, “I was probably the happiest child in the world before I was eight years old. I fell from the highest to the lowest point in my life overnight. After that, I struggled all the way until today.”Marianne exclaimed, “You’re so young, but you’re actually holding a key position in Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group... This proves that you still have very strong personal abilities!”“Is th
When the crowd dispersed, they left a cake and a table full of dishes and snacks behind.Marianne’s eyes were still red, and she was lost in her thoughts as she looked at the table that was full and piled high with dishes. Charlie looked at her and asked softly, “You’re missing your mother?”Marianne came back to her senses and nodded gently. A bean-sized tear rolled down her cheek, and she quickly wiped the tear away as she said, “I always miss her so much whenever it’s my birthday...”Having said that, she quickly smiled, looked at Charlie, stretched out her hand, and said in a playful tone, “Give me a birthday present! Anything will do.”Charlie said embarrassedly, “Look at this surprise. I didn’t even know that it was your birthday today, so I didn’t prepare anything in advance...”Marianne smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. Anything will do. It’s fine even if you just give me a coin.”Charlie thought for a while and asked her, “Do you want one of the divine pills that ca
However, Dillion had been out the entire afternoon, and he had not come back even after it had become so late. He could not get through to Dillion’s phone either, so this made him very anxious. Over the recent years, as Rudy’s business had grown bigger and bigger, he had actually wanted to stay away from the Order of the Star as much as he could. However, Solomon was also a witty and experienced person, and he did not want to be cast aside by Rudy after he was done using him to his own advantage. Rudy also realized that Solomon was treating him like a cash cow, just like how he used to regard Solomon as his backer to support him, and Solomon was not willing to let go of him no matter what it was.Therefore, Rudy could only try his best to find a way to stabilize Solomon. Solomon had recently made a lot of money in the business of smuggling frozen meat. Still, due to the lack of scale, he hoped that Rudy would be able to come forward to register an ocean shipping company for him
