​Hearing the deafening crack, Lucas instantly spun toward the source of the sound. A fraction of a second later, a projectile slammed into the thick stack of documents he was holding.

Fortunately, Lucas's arms were positioned right in front of Angeline's chest, the exact target the shooter was aiming for.

The metal pellet from the airgun failed to pierce the heavy stack of papers, narrowly saving Angeline's life.

​"Bram!" Lucas shouted, immediately shielding Angeline with his body upon realizin

    ​​Matteo initially wanted to steer the conversation to the underground realm. He wanted to know more because he intended to enter that realm.​Even though the Carter Family was already there, he felt interested. Especially if he could control Lucas, it would be an easy path.​Matteo was indeed never satisfied. He was always looking for a new "granary" for himself. Even if a place was already controlled by another family, he seemed to turn a blind eye.​One of the reasons why there was no change in the positions of the top 10 great families was the maneuvers carried out by the Bellucci family led by Matteo.​Most recently, he entered the healthcare business, where the Hartwell Family had dominated the healthcare business for over 20 years.​Even though Nathaniel Hartwell, the 35-year-old leader of the Hartwell family, protested vehemently, it had no effect whatsoever. This caused the Hartwell Family to drop to 17th place from 11th place two years ago.​"Yes... it is doing fine. Everyth

    ​The news of Matteo's arrival naturally shocked everyone, including Lucas. None of them expected that a Trade Union chairman would come to a street boxing gym, Brotherhood.​"What did he come here for? Doesn't he have no business in street boxing?" Moretti asked with a shocked facial expression.​Before his subordinate had the chance to answer, Matteo had already arrived.​"It's nothing, I just wanted to visit and get to know the new owner of the Brotherhood gym," Matteo said while walking closer.​Everyone was even more shocked by Matteo's arrival inside the gym. Even Moretti fell silent immediately.​"Are you the one named Lucas?" Matteo asked Moretti.​Moretti quickly shook his head while pointing at Lucas.​"No. The one named Lucas and the new owner of the gym is him."​Matteo turned and smiled while saying, "I apologize, Mr. Lucas. I assumed incorrectly."​"No problem!" Lucas said with that sweet smile of his.​"Let's talk in the office!" Lucas invited.​Lucas turned to Moretti.

    ​For now, the most logical reason was that Gigio was interested in Angeline. Because if there was nothing to be gained from their closeness, Gigio would definitely not be willing.​So it was very natural for Jeremy to think like that.​"Actually, the person who introduced me to Vice Chairman Gigio was Lucas. They were friends first," Angeline revealed.​"What?"​Jeremy was suddenly shocked to hear that. He didn't expect this at all.​"Lucas is friends with Vice Chairman Gigio? How could that be?" Jeremy asked with his eyes and mouth wide open.​The man was extremely shocked.​Angeline shrugged her shoulders while saying, "I don't know. Lucas never wanted to talk about it."​Jeremy shook his head. He couldn't believe that Lucas could be close to someone so important.​"That is impossible. A guy like Lucas could never be friends with a great man like Gigio. That is absolutely impossible!" Jeremy rejected what Angeline said.​Right now Jeremy was like a madman. He kept refusing to believ

    ​Matteo also considered that he wouldn't be able to get anything beneficial for himself. Because the person in front of him did not have anything he needed.​"What exactly do you have? What could you possibly give me that would be beneficial to me?" Matteo asked with a faint smile still lingering on his face.​John fell silent. He was also confused about what he could give Matteo.​"To be honest, I am also confused, Chairman. Everything I own might mean nothing to you. It is up to you what you want to take. But one thing is for sure, I will serve you and obey all your commands," John said.​"Alright, I will consider it. You may leave now!" Matteo said.​John stood up immediately. Then he bowed his body to pay his respects to the Chairman of the Trade Union.​"How can I get access to meet the head of the Golden Star company, huh? I really want to submit a proposal to them," Angeline asked while leaning on the sofa at home.​Lucas turned his head while asking, "Is it time already? Aren'

    ​​The aura of a high-level mob boss emanated from Matteo. Even from his gaze alone, it implied that he was a ruthless man.​John sat on the sofa right across from Matteo. He sat with utmost politeness.​His attitude now was a complete 180-degree turn from when he was with other people; he wasn't even like this toward the chairman of the people's council, let alone with those beneath him. He was ordinarily arrogant beyond measure.​Yet in front of Matteo, John was like a motherless chick.​"I give you 5 minutes to explain what your business is meeting me so abruptly like this!" Matteo said, sharp and cold.​John nodded while saying, "Thank you very much, Chairman Matteo."​John then recounted what he had just experienced. He explained that his Brotherhood gym had been taken by force by Lucas, and that someone standing behind Lucas was Gigio.​Matteo furrowed his brow when John mentioned the name of the Vice Chairman of the Trade Union.​"You mean Gigio supports that man?" Matteo asked

    ​​Angeline realized that she couldn't show her dislike toward Viviana because of the woman's background. Furthermore, she also felt it would hurt her pride.​So, she chose to leave Lucas with that beautiful woman whose body was slimmer than hers.​'Typical men! Always trying to be a charmer! Disgusting!' Angeline thought to herself.​Lucas looked at Viviana's legs, which already looked very sturdy. He felt happy because of it.​"It seems you have recovered very quickly. Your condition is much better now, huh," Lucas said while looking at Viviana from head to toe.​Enthusiastically, Viviana said, "Yes, I am doing very well now. It seems I am almost 100% recovered."​Viviana gazed deeply into Lucas's eyes with implied affection. "All of this is because of Brother Lucas. I am incredibly thankful to you. Forever, I owe you my life."​"Don't say things like that. I was merely helping. The one who healed you is God, and your own body that reacted well," Lucas said.​The man always felt unc
