Zoey instantly panicked when she saw Javier hitting Jim.“What are you doing?! Jimmy’s my friend! I won’t let you be so disrespectful to him!”Zoey seemed to be panicking for real. She definitely wanted to get her tour guide permit as quickly as possible and was afraid that Jim would not give it to her if she offended him. Hence, Javier was prepared to grab Jim and prove to Zoey that he was nothing more than a scammer.However, his movements caused Zoey to misunderstand him once more, and she thought that Javier was going to beat Jim up again.Hence, she pushed him away and said, “Leave! I’ll pay you back the money I owe you. Now, stop hitting my friend!”Javier was left feeling very depressed. ‘How the heck can she not tell who’s the good guy here?!’Javier could no longer be bothered to deal with the situation when he saw how genuinely concerned Zoey was for Jim.There was no need for him to put in the effort to prove anything since time would eventually reveal the truth. Th

In truth, Javier had already made arrangements to retaliate against Kaiden’s petty little tricks long ago.Javier was a man who would never get involved in a fight he was not sure of winning. Therefore, since he had the guts to go up against Kaiden so openly, it must be because he was confident that he would emerge victorious.Hence, after he was taken into the police cruiser that morning, the leading inspector received a phone call from the higher-ups.The conversation was very short and simple…They were to release Javier regardless of what he had done. The leading inspector thought that the entire situation was extremely ridiculous. “Are we still living in a lawful country?! Why is he being released just because we’ve been asked to release him?!”“Are you an idiot? Our superiors are the ones who personally called to get this done, so of course our country’s laws are still in place!”After the lecture, the person on the other end of the line said, “Also, have Kaiden arrested im

Robin explained a lot of things to Zoey, but the latter was completely dumbfounded, still unable to believe what had just happened. It was not until she extended her hand to touch Javier’s face that she realized that the man before her was indeed a living, breathing person.“Oh my God, you really are Javier! Are you really the CEO of Reivaj Group as well? You’re really awesome!”After that shocked exclamation, Zoey asked, “Where’s your mask? Can I play with it, please?”Javier was rendered speechless. He had wholeheartedly thought Zoey would be even more interested in him now that she was aware of his identity, but she ended up only being interested in his mask.When he pointed at the pile of ash in the ashtray, Zoey looked very depressed. “Why did you burn it? I wanted to play with it!”“All you know is how to play. Javier’s only two years older than you, yet he’s already become the CEO of Reivaj Group!”Zoey stuck out her tongue and left after asking Javier to have some fruit

Getting punched in the face and then having the ladies get snatched up by the guy who had done it p*ssed Jim off a lot. He might not be an *ss-kicking bad*ss, but d*mn it, he had always been at least good at hyping himself up about being one. This son of a b*tch had sent his front teeth flying, and now Jim could not even toot his own trumpet.The next best thing he could do was run up to his boss, Craig “Buck” Buckley, and recount the entire sequence of events with as much incendiary embellishment as he could muster. He mentioned how much Javier had dissed him and how much he had laughed at him.The perceived insult proved too much for Buck, who fit the stereotype of a silent but violent thug leader. His spleen shot up to the roof, his anger dialing up to eleven. With one word, he commanded all of his followers to surround Javier.“Who the f*ck are you? Those are my babes you’re touching. You really are itching to die if you wanna pick a fight with us!”Javier squeezed his arms aro

After confiding in his father about everything that had happened up to this point, Mortimer looked at his father with a long, glum face. “You have to help me out of this, Dad. Help me pay them back! Please, I’ll never touch anything like it ever again in my life, I promise…”Phineas was initially enraged by his son’s folly, but seeing Mortimer in person had reminded him of one thing. “Hold up. Something doesn’t add up. You’re here, aren’t you?” he asked aloud. “So why do we even need to pay that guy back? Now that you’re here, we don’t need to at all!”Phineas was right to point that out. If his son had returned in person, then there was no longer any real threat. He would loathe to believe that some gangster scumbag from another country would dare cause havoc in a foreign place. Besides, who was to say that same thug would be able to locate his son?He said as much, only to cause the consternation in his son’s mien to deepen. As it turned out, the thug was in Chinea too. He had eve
