“Don’t waste my time. My time is precious.” Snow remained arrogant and did not want to waste too much time with Leroy. “What do you mean?” Leroy was annoyed. He had never been ordered around before. He was the one giving orders, not the other way around. Yet he could not talk back to Snow and was forced to comply. “It means what it means. If you don’t talk, I have a way to make you and you will pay a dear price when it happens.” Snow threatened him. Ryan was shaking but he dared not interrupt. If Edmund was here, he might be shocked. Edmund was fed up with his supposed friends many times and had always wanted to do something about them, yet he did not want to have a fallout with Leroy. After all, Leroy worked for the Viper’s Den. It would be better to have an ally than an enemy at the workplace, so Edmund continued to be lenient to them. Now that Leroy was being taught a lesson by Snow, it felt strange but in a good way. “I have given you a chance. If you don’t wa
“I am tasked to carry out my business. I hope you can be responsible for what you just said. I’d suggest that you keep your distance, or I will make sure you have a terrible death,” Snow said softly with a smile. The words that came out of her mouth infuriated Dexter. “What do you mean? You dare look down on me? Or do you think I don’t dare to hit a woman?!” Dexter slammed the table once more and bolted up, shouting at Snow and eagerly wanting to hit her. Ryan quickly stepped up in front of Snow to protect her. He did not want things to go out of hand. “Mr. Dunkin, please. Let’s use our words here, shall we? We are all civilized adults,” Ryan said. He did not want to mess with Dexter either but he must do something to ease the tension. Snow remained on the couch and showed no fear. She looked at Leroy coldly with a hint of scorn in her gaze. “Do you think this is meaningful? You’ve basically lived off Edmund, and now you’re turning on him? Or do you really think your
“Dexter, don’t fall for someone you just met. You already have a lot of girls by your side, save some for Edmund. I think this girl is trying to marry Edmund.” The group chuckled. Such words sounded like they were trying to hold Dexter back but they were insulting Snow. “I think you’ve misunderstood me. I am Edmund’s business partner, we share the same status. If I am really into him, then he should be grateful and not send me to deal with you people,” Snow replied proudly as if they were nothing more than ants to her. “Mr. Leroy Theodore. Can we have a word?” She came here to meet the man himself. She knew at first glance that Dexter and the others were just clowns with no power. She could see through them easily so there was no need for her to waste time on them. “What? You are into Leroy? His standards are high and he might not be into you,” Dexter said with contempt. Even though Snow had made her identity clear, the man refused to show respect. Ryan was already feelin
“Your boss knows how to put people to work. He wants me to be the bad guy, but I can use this chance to show them what I can do.” Snow understood Edmund’s intention and she was more than willing to play along. She was not doing it for him but for Kaze. She wanted to clear the obstacles for him and keep problems away from him. Ryan was slightly confused. He thought Snow would let him make the arrangement because she was still new around the block, but after listening to his explanation, she already had an idea in mind. Snow was beautiful and capable, someone worthy of his respect. Her icy beauty kept people away from her but her decisiveness attracted admiration. “Ms. Frost, you already have an idea? What do I need to do?” “Just bring enough men and make sure we can leave in one piece,” Snow said. She was worried that she and Ryan might get detained. She was on their turf, so it made sense to be careful even if she was capable. Fortunately, she did not have to worry be
If anything unusual came up, Ryan would certainly inform Edmund right away to keep him ahead in the matter. Besides, Snow was sent here by Kaze. Regardless of the reason, they had to treat her with full respect, which meant no lies or secrets. If she could find out anything, that would be great; if not, it would also be good news to Edmund. After Snow got into the car, she looked at Ryan. “Tell me about them.” Ryan was not surprised. He simply looked at the list and explained the situation to her. “They were once Mr. Witterson’s ride-or-die crew, and they had been through a lot with each other. They used to do business together as well.” He did not know everything, but he was aware that those were some of the earliest members of Viper’s Den. They knew each other well and had been through thick and thin together. Over time, they built a bond and loyalty so strong it was hard to break.Edmund had always taken good care of them. He made promises to ensure they would live comf
“There are a few I’m close to and trust completely. We've been through life-and-death situations together, and they’d never betray me.” Edmund was willing to trust his inner circle and believe they would never betray him. However, if one of them was the problem, it would start a chain reaction, and they might already realize he was investigating them. If that were true, they could not move forward, not without risking everything. It could easily alert the enemy. Edmund looked at Snow, stunned that she would say such a thing. However, deep down, he knew it was possible. No matter who it was, they would betray him for better benefits or profit. It was common for even family members to turn on each other. Therefore, even if he did not want to believe it, he had to let her look into it.“I’ll give you the names tomorrow, where they usually hang out, where they stay, and everything else. I know it’s a lot to ask.” Edmund needed Snow to help, so he had to show her his trust and su
