Edward felt a whirlwind of emotions. His ears began to ring, and the overhead light became blurry. He knew he was bleeding.Elliot had the nerve to lay hands on him like that, but it wasn’t over yet. Soon after, Edward felt another gust of wind. Someone was kicking him—each blow was powerful. He shouted in pain, too agonized to even beg for mercy as he instinctively tried to avoid the kicks.When he thought the person would beat him to death, the person grabbed his collar and pressed him against the mirrored wall with a thud.Fresh blood trickled down from his head. He saw Elliot’s face through the mirror, so cold it bordered on numbness.Edward froze and could not believe Elliot was the man in the mirror with sinister eyes. "A-Are your legs healed?"Elliot sneered, "What do you think?"Edward was shocked. "So it was you?"When he emerged from the private room at the nightclub that day, he caught a glimpse of a figure that looked like Elliot. He sent bodyguards to chase after hi

"There are dogs on that mountain. I don't want to risk it." Zoey asked impatiently, "Are you still going?"Elliot replied firmly, "Yes, let's go!"The trio set off toward Lingen Mountain. When they reached its foot, the sky had turned pitch black. Zoey took the money and exited the car, saying, "Take care, you two!" Samuel glanced at Elliot's wheelchair and suggested, "Mr. Elliot, why don't you wait here? I can go alone.""No need," Elliot said, getting out of the car himself. It was already late, and there were no other people around. He could manage to climb the mountain on his own.As they walked, they could not help but notice the distinctive choice of location for this house. Building a house on a hill like this was a testament to the owner's uniqueness, someone who refused to conform to the norms of society.After half an hour's walk, they finally saw the house Zoey had mentioned.Elliot had expected to find a thatched hut, even though they frequented this area. They woul

Samuel suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose vigorously. He remembered that Elliot might be coming out here later. He turned to the four men and said, "Forget it, get out of the water. Just leave, and don't come back up this mountain again."The four men immediately emerged from the water, thanking him profusely."Thank you for sparing our lives, sir.""Thank you so much, sir."Samuel felt very pleased with himself and said, "No need to thank me. Just get lost before I change my mind."The four men scrambled away in a hurry.Elliot was not sure how he managed to keep quiet for so long. After he saw the four men leave, he whispered to Sophia, "Stay here. Wait for me."He swam toward Samuel and shouted at the smug man. "Come here!"Samuel stood up, delighted. "Back so soon, Mr. Elliot?"Elliot resisted the urge to pull him down and said, "Take your clothes off.""Huh?Elliot suppressed his anger and urged, "Hurry up!"Baffled, Samuel obediently took off his coat."Give th

Elliot and Samuel didn't even flinch. They stood in place as though they hadn't noticed the dogs coming their way.The dogs rushed out, barking wildly at them. Elliot said something, and with a simple command, the dogs became incredibly obedient. They stopped barking. They tilted their heads and sat in a row, gazing at the man in front of them with a pleading look. Anyone who was watching would think they were Elliot's dogs.Sophia was furious and sprang up from her chair. Elliot's presence was overpowering, but those dogs would never submit so easily unless he knew how to speak to animals.Daisy was surprised and remarked, "Did that young man really tame those dogs?"Sophia didn't want to admit it, but it was true. Elliot had subdued them entirely. They had not torn him and Samuel to shreds.Elliot raised an eyebrow toward the surveillance camera and smiled triumphantly as if he knew Sophia was watching.Sophia felt a surge of anger. She stormed out.The front gate swung op

Elliot was speechless.He would have slapped this girl if he hadn’t needed a favor from her. She was incredibly irritating.Sophia looked at the man’s defeated face and could not help but chuckle. She swung her backpack onto her back, turned around, and left.Elliot exchanged a glance with Samuel.Samuel immediately caught on. "Let me carry your backpack for you, Ms. Sophia."Sophia replied: "There’s no need, I can handle it. Where's the car?"Samuel replied, "It’s down the hill."Sophia began her descent toward the bottom of the hill without hesitation.She swaggered with each step, tossing her hair back arrogantly.Elliot suddenly smiled and followed. He decided not to argue with her, especially since she had finally agreed to help his grandfather.The four men looked at each other. Elliot seemed to be interested in this woman. But they were more concerned about whether the hundred thousand was still on the table.They had been left without clothes and beaten twice for n
