00:00:00 "And you, old thing," Kevin shifted his ice-cold gaze to Amy, causing her knees to
00:00:07 tremble.
00:00:08 "The first thing you did was not to admit your own mistake, but to push the blame onto
00:00:15 someone else.
00:00:17 If you want to blame someone else, that's one thing.
00:00:21 But then you want them to pay for your own mistake?
00:00:25 It's just a dress.
00:00:26 And you want two thousand dollars?
00:00:30 Are you serious?
00:00:32 You are so greedy and so self-righteous.
00:00:37 You should be ashamed of yourself for acting the way you do at your age."
00:00:43 Kevin reprimanded her coldly.
00:00:46 Amy's chest rose and fell, and her face turned red.
00:00:51 She was furious.
00:00:53 After a long while, she showed her teeth and pointed at Kevin's nose, cursing in a high-pitched
00:00:59 voice.
00:01:00 "You sharp-tongued thing!
00:01:03 Is what you say the truth?
00:01:06 You said that Kurt and I are at fault.
00:01:09 Why don't you show us your evidence?"
00:01:13 Roxy folded her arms across her chest and didn't say a word.
00:01:19 No matter how extravagant Kevin's words were, everything was useless as long as he couldn't
00:01:24 produce any evidence.
00:01:26 "Evidence?"
00:01:28 Kevin sneered.
00:01:29 "You want the evidence?
00:01:32 Then I'll give you the evidence."
00:01:35 Kevin walked to the side, took out his phone, and dialed Bob's number.
00:01:41 "Hello?"
00:01:43 Before Bob could open his mouth, Kevin interrupted him with a cold voice.
00:01:48 "Bob, who is the person in charge of the White Swan?"
00:01:52 "White Swan?"
00:01:55 Bob was surprised for a moment and then quickly said, "That would be Connor Copeland."
00:02:01 "Connor?"
00:02:04 Kevin's gaze turned cold as he said, "Get him to the White Swan within ten minutes."
00:02:11 After saying that, Kevin hung up the phone.
00:02:15 On the other side, Bob's forehead was covered in a cold sweat.
00:02:20 There was no need to think about it.
00:02:22 The White Swan must have offended Kevin.
00:02:27 After hanging up the phone, Kevin returned to Naomi.
00:02:31 At this time, Kurt had already caught his breath, and when he saw Kevin, the anger in
00:02:37 his eyes became even more intense.
00:02:40 "You don't welcome him?"
00:02:43 Kevin sneered.
00:02:44 "Who do you think you are?
00:02:47 If you say you don't want to welcome me, then don't."
00:02:51 "I am the manager of the White Swan.
00:02:54 Who do you think I am?"
00:02:58 Kurt was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
00:03:02 He would have already cut Kevin into pieces if Matthew weren't there.
00:03:07 "The manager of the White Swan?
00:03:10 You're not going to be one any minute."
00:03:13 Kevin glanced at Kurt coldly.
00:03:17 After a slight pause, Kurt immediately reacted to Kevin's meaning.
00:03:21 "Only rotting carcasses like you want me to be expelled?"
00:03:27 "Even expelling you wouldn't be sufficient," Kevin laughed sinisterly.
00:03:33 Kurt was immediately furious.
00:03:36 He waved his hand and said, "Men, chase this guy out.
00:03:41 We do not welcome this kind of waste."
00:03:46 The tattooed men moved when they heard the order.
00:03:50 The corner of Amy and her daughter's mouth curled into a proud sneer.
00:03:56 Matthew's face turned cold, and he was about to step forward.
00:04:01 At this moment, a sound of panting could be heard from the stairs.
00:04:07 "Everyone stop!"
00:04:08 Kurt's expression changed when he heard the voice.
00:04:11 A few seconds later, a middle-aged man in untidy clothes with a potbelly came crawling
00:04:17 over.
00:04:18 "Director Copeland!"
00:04:19 Kurt's pupils constricted.
00:04:20 "Why did Connor come over?"
00:04:21 Kevin raised his wrist and looked at the time.
00:04:22 He asked Connor to come within ten minutes, but it had only been six minutes.
00:04:35 "Director Copeland, why are you here?"
00:04:36 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:37 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:38 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:39 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:40 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:41 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:42 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:43 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:44 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:45 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:46 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:47 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:48 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:49 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:50 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:51 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:52 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:53 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:54 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:55 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:56 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:57 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:58 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:04:59 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:05:22 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:05:43 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:11 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:40 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:41 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:42 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:43 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:44 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:45 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:46 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:47 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:48 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:49 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:50 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:51 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:52 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:53 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:54 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:55 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:56 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:57 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:06:58 "I'm here to see you, Director."
00:07:19 Kevin's cold gaze, Connor felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had suddenly fallen
00:07:25 into an ice house.
00:07:28 Fortunately, Kevin did not pursue this topic further.
00:07:32 Instead, he calmly said, "Do you know what he did?"
00:07:38 "Sir, I...
00:07:41 I don't know."
00:07:43 Connor smiled shyly and shook his head.
00:07:46 "Then what do you know?"
00:07:48 Kevin's tone turned cold.
00:07:51 Connor's body froze again.
00:07:53 "Director Copeland, there might be some small misunderstandings between Mr. Bennett and
00:08:00 me."
00:08:01 At this time, Bryce smiled and took the initiative to step forward to help them out.
00:08:07 "Small misunderstanding?"
00:08:10 Kevin stared in anger.
00:08:13 "Kurt, tell me honestly.
00:08:15 What did you do?"
00:08:17 Connor was furious.
00:08:19 Based on the scene around him, he had a rough idea of what had happened.
00:08:24 However, he couldn't believe that Kurt would be so daring as to call the hoodlums outside
00:08:30 and beat up the customers in his restaurant.
00:08:34 This was already a taboo in the industry.
00:08:38 In addition, the guest that Kurt had assaulted was White Swan's main boss.
00:08:45 The successor of America's super rich and powerful Bennett family.
00:08:51 There is nothing that Kurt could do to make up for this behavior.
00:09:01 Kurt didn't dare hide anything anymore as he faced Connor's angry eyes.
00:09:07 He told him everything that had happened.
00:09:10 The hall suddenly quieted down.
00:09:13 No one thought that Kurt would be so shameless.
00:09:18 Not only did he help Amy bully an 18-year-old girl, but he even made up lies to prevent
00:09:24 himself from getting in trouble.
00:09:27 Kurt had to open his eyes wide and lie to avoid losing the bet.
00:09:32 Shameless!
00:09:33 "Mr. Bennett, I'm sorry.
00:09:38 I didn't do it on purpose.
00:09:41 I was puzzled.
00:09:42 Please, let me go."
00:09:46 Kurt shifted his pleading gaze to Kevin.
00:09:49 Although he didn't know exactly what his background was, he knew that only Kevin could decide whether
00:09:55 he should stay or not.
00:09:58 "Let you go?"
00:10:01 Kevin's mouth turned cold.
00:10:02 "Why should I let you go?
00:10:06 Remember what I said before?"
00:10:09 Kurt's body trembled.
00:10:10 "Of course."
00:10:12 He remembered that Kevin said he would fire him just a few minutes ago.
00:10:17 However, at that time, he did not take Kevin's words to heart and felt that he was blabbering
00:10:25 nonsense.
00:10:26 Now...
00:10:27 "Please."
00:10:28 Kurt directly knelt on the ground.
00:10:33 "Mr. Bennett, don't fire me.
00:10:36 My mom is in the hospital.
00:10:38 My family still has two children in school, and I'm still carrying a mortgage.
00:10:44 If you fire me, my family won't be able to survive."
00:10:50 Kurt burst into tears, but Kevin did not even blink as he coldly shouted, "Get out!"
00:10:58 "Mr. Bennett..."
00:11:00 Kurt wanted to beg again, but Connor left and kicked Kurt three feet away.
00:11:06 "Kevin told you to get out.
00:11:08 Did you not hear that?
00:11:11 From today onwards, you will be fired.
00:11:15 So immediately, get your things and get lost."
00:11:20 Connor pointed at Kurt and cursed at him.
00:11:24 He couldn't wait for Kurt to disappear from his sight.
00:11:27 The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
00:11:31 After just one phone call, the arrogant Kurt lost his victory and was immediately turned
00:11:37 into a street rat.
00:11:40 Everyone wanted to beat him up, and he didn't even want to look at his cousin.
00:11:45 All of a sudden, many customers cast their curious gazes at Kevin.
00:11:51 Didn't they understand how this unknown man got such great power?
00:11:57 Amy and Roxy were bewildered.
00:11:59 They never thought that Kevin would call the person in charge of the White Swan and solve
00:12:04 all the problems with just a phone call.
00:12:08 Furthermore, looking at how respectful the manager was towards Kevin, it is evident that
00:12:15 there was more to him than they realized.
00:12:18 However, didn't Eileen say that Kevin was just a good-for-nothing cook?
00:12:25 Why did he know people from the Bennett family?
00:12:29 Turn on the surveillance.
00:12:31 At this moment, Kevin spat out the words coldly.
00:12:36 Amy's heart shuddered as she said in embarrassment, "Kevin, forget about the surveillance.
00:12:43 It won't change anything.
00:12:45 Since you and this little girl know each other, we will be family.
00:12:51 It's normal for there to be some friction between families.
00:12:56 I don't need her to pay for my dress.
00:13:00 Peace is precious to everyone."
00:13:04 Amy looked embarrassed.
00:13:06 She would have nowhere to hide if they pulled the surveillance camera footage.
00:13:11 It was indeed her fault.
00:13:13 The dress being ruined had nothing to do with Naomi at all.
00:13:17 "To make peace?"
00:13:20 Kevin returned to her.
00:13:22 "Now that you think about it, peace is the most important thing."
00:13:26 "Too late," Kevin's expression turned cold.
00:13:32 And he said without a doubt, "Change."
00:13:35 "Yes, Mr. Bennett."
00:13:38 A look of joy appeared on Connor's face.
00:13:42 Such an excellent opportunity to make amends.
00:13:45 He would never let it go.
00:13:48 Soon he brought out a computer with a glowing face.
00:13:53 Quite a few customers surrounded him.
00:13:56 Connor quickly played the scene of Amy and Naomi colliding.
00:14:00 Then he played it slowly.
00:14:04 Their movements were displayed in front of everyone, frame by frame.
00:14:10 Naomi walked normally.
00:14:12 Amy suddenly stood up without even looking behind her and crashed into Naomi's body.
00:14:19 Soup splattered.
00:14:21 Amy's expression gradually turned sinister.
00:14:25 Without a doubt, Amy was the one at fault.
00:14:29 How can she behave that way at her age?
00:14:33 That's right.
00:14:34 She's really pathetic.
00:14:36 She's over 50 years old and she's attacking an 18-year-old girl?
00:14:41 How shameless.
00:14:43 The crowd was furious.
00:14:46 The numerous customers that saw the footage didn't give Amy any respect after that and
00:14:52 started cursing in front of Amy.
00:14:55 Because Amy was the one at fault.
00:14:58 "No!
00:14:59 It's not like that!
00:15:01 You misunderstood me!"
00:15:04 Amy's face turned red.
00:15:06 However, her words seemed powerless in the face of the truth.
00:15:12 "Apologize."
00:15:14 Kevin glanced at Amy coldly.
00:15:16 But of course, if Amy didn't apologize, this matter wasn't over.
00:15:22 "You piece of trash!
00:15:25 Don't go too far!"
00:15:28 Amy was about to go crazy from anger.
00:15:31 At this moment, Kevin would be ranked first if she were to say who the person she hated
00:15:36 the most was.
00:15:39 If it weren't for Kevin, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed today.
00:15:43 "I say it one last time.
00:15:47 Apologize."
00:15:49 Kevin's eyes flashed with a cold light.
00:15:53 This cold light immediately sent a shiver down Amy's spine.
00:15:57 "A-alright!
00:15:58 I apologize."
00:15:59 Amy submitted.
00:16:04 She turned to Naomi and said softly, "I'm sorry."
00:16:09 "Not sincere.
00:16:10 Try it again."
00:16:12 Kevin was expressionless.
00:16:15 Amy gritted her teeth, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry.
00:16:20 I was wrong."
00:16:21 "No, it's okay."
00:16:26 Amy was a little timid.
00:16:29 Until now, her head was still a little dizzy.
00:16:32 She could not believe that such a domineering woman like Amy would apologize to her in the
00:16:38 end.
00:16:39 "Let's go."
00:16:41 Kevin smiled and gently held the girl's hand.
00:16:46 Matthew glanced at Greg coldly and stood up as well.
00:16:50 Seeing that Matthew was about to leave, Roxy became anxious.
00:16:55 "Sir, about our cooperation?"
00:16:58 "You've got to be kidding me."
00:17:01 Matthew's response was simple and crude as usual.
00:17:05 "From today onwards, London Enterprises has no chance of cooperating with Lux Travel Corporation
00:17:11 in any way."
00:17:14 The mother and daughter pair's faces turned pale.
00:17:19 If Matthew's words were actual, then the cooperation between London Enterprises and Lux Travel
00:17:26 Corporation would truly be finished.
00:17:28 "Trash!
00:17:29 It's all his fault!
00:17:31 He's really ticking me off!"
00:17:34 Amy was so angry that she stomped her feet.
00:17:38 After Kevin's actions, the collaboration she had hoped for had completely gone down the
00:17:43 drain.
00:17:45 Her trip to Sacramento this time was not only in vain, but because she offended Matthew.
00:17:52 If she went back home, the board would hold her accountable.
00:17:55 "Mom, don't be angry.
00:17:59 Let this trash feel proud for a few days.
00:18:03 We'll think of a way to get back at them during Grandfather's birthday banquet next month."
00:18:09 Roxy gritted her teeth in frustration.
00:18:11 "Your Grandfather's birthday feast?"
00:18:15 Amy was stunned.
00:18:16 "Will that trash go?"
00:18:19 "Definitely," Roxy said firmly.
00:18:22 "It's been seven or eight years since I've seen Eileen at Grandpa's, and before this,
00:18:29 she was too embarrassed to meet with him because she'd been making so many mistakes.
00:18:36 Now that she has a mansion and she's doing so well, she must be thinking about showing
00:18:41 off.
00:18:42 And her Grandpa's birthday feast is her best chance to gloat.
00:18:47 When the time comes, she will bring that trash and Claire."
00:18:52 "Fine.
00:18:59 This time I will take care of the garbage bag myself."
00:19:04 Rosemont was her territory.
00:19:07 If Kevin took over Rosemont, she would come up with a thousand ways to make Kevin suffer.
00:19:15 Kevin and Naomi walked out of the White Swan.
00:19:18 However, after walking a few steps, the girl suddenly stopped and bowed deeply to Kevin.
00:19:26 "Kevin, I'm so sorry I gave you trouble again."
00:19:32 The girl's pretty face was full of guilt.
00:19:36 Ever since she met Kevin yesterday, she had been nothing but trouble.
00:19:40 Every time she was in a difficult situation, Kevin would always stand up for her.
00:19:47 She didn't dare to imagine what would have happened to her and her mother if it weren't
00:19:51 for Kevin.
00:19:52 Kevin shook his head and smiled.
00:19:55 "It's fine.
00:19:57 If you encounter trouble that you can't handle in the future, remember to call me.
00:20:02 Don't try to be brave by yourself."
00:20:04 "Yes."
00:20:07 Naomi bit her lips lightly, her face blushing red.
00:20:11 "Come on.
00:20:12 I'll take you to the hospital."
00:20:15 Kevin said that since Amy had attacked her, there may be some hidden injuries on Naomi.
00:20:21 "Yes."
00:20:23 After a moment of hesitation, Naomi nodded.
00:20:27 However, after walking a few steps, her body suddenly weakened and she fell forward without
00:20:33 any warning.
00:20:35 The ground was getting closer and fear flashed across Naomi's beautiful eyes.
00:20:41 Just as she was about to hit the ground, a strong hand followed along Naomi's slender
00:20:46 waist and held onto her.
00:20:50 Naomi stuck herself onto Kevin and buried her face deep into Kevin's chest.
00:20:56 An unprecedented aura of masculinity surrounded Naomi in an instant.
00:21:02 Her beautiful face was completely red.
00:21:06 "What's the matter with you?"
00:21:09 Kevin frowned.
00:21:10 "Nothing.
00:21:11 I'm fine."
00:21:14 Naomi's voice was soft and quiet.
00:21:16 "Are you alright?"
00:21:19 Kevin frowned and looked down.
00:21:21 He saw that the young girl's slender legs were turning purple with bruises and a large
00:21:26 bump had swelled up on her ankle.
00:21:29 Kevin's face sank.
00:21:31 Without a doubt, all of this was Amy's doing.
00:21:35 "Kevin, I…
00:21:37 I'm fine.
00:21:39 Let's go."
00:21:41 Naomi's gaze was a little evasive, as if she was subconsciously trying to escape Kevin's
00:21:47 sight.
00:21:48 However, just as she was about to take a step forward, a heart-wrenching pain came from
00:21:54 her legs.
00:21:55 In an instant, a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
00:22:00 "You might have some broken bones.
00:22:04 Let me carry you."
00:22:05 Kevin sighed.
00:22:07 He hadn't expected Amy to be so ruthless.
00:22:11 If he hadn't come today, Amy might have even killed Naomi.
00:22:15 "No… no, Kevin…"
00:22:19 Naomi wanted to say something, but in the next second…
00:22:23 Kevin did not say anything and picked her up without warning.
00:22:28 Naomi's face instantly flushed red with embarrassment.
00:22:31 "Thank you, Kevin."
00:22:34 The girl buried her head in Kevin's arms and murmured in a voice that only she could
00:22:39 hear.
00:22:41 The hospital wasn't far from the White Swan.
00:22:44 Kevin carried Naomi and walked for less than fifteen minutes before arriving at the emergency
00:22:50 building.
00:22:52 When they arrived at the emergency room, Kevin found that Naomi had fallen asleep in his
00:22:57 arms.
00:22:58 It was obvious that she was exhausted.
00:23:02 Kevin shook his head and felt sympathy for Naomi.
00:23:06 Naomi was no different from any of the other young girls, but other young girls her age
00:23:12 didn't have to endure so much.
00:23:15 "Kevin?"
00:23:17 Just as he was about to take Naomi inside for a checkup, a sharp voice came from behind
00:23:22 him.
00:23:23 "Eileen?"
00:23:25 Kevin frowned and turned around.
00:23:28 What he saw was the three members of the Wright family.
00:23:33 Eileen's face was full of anger, while Alan frowned.
00:23:38 Claire had an ice-cold expression on her face.
00:23:42 Kevin suddenly had a very bad feeling.
00:23:45 "Thump.
00:23:46 Thump.
00:23:48 Thump."
00:23:49 At this moment, Eileen, who was wearing high heels, walked in front of Kevin.
00:23:56 Pointing at Naomi, who was in Kevin's arms, she questioned him directly.
00:24:01 "Who is this little vixen?"
00:24:04 "Her name is Naomi."
00:24:08 Kevin frowned and was about to explain, but Eileen ignored him and started cursing loudly.
00:24:14 "Alright, you brat!
00:24:18 I haven't even explained the situation with Nick from a few days ago, and now a little
00:24:24 vixen like Naomi has popped up again.
00:24:28 What do you take our Claire for?
00:24:31 Can you at least show some respect?"
00:24:34 "Naomi and I are not in the kind of relationship that you think we are."
00:24:40 Kevin looked coldly at Eileen.
00:24:42 "Not that kind of relationship?"
00:24:45 Eileen sneered.
00:24:46 "You already have this little vixen in your arms.
00:24:51 So what do you mean you don't have that kind of relationship?
00:24:54 Do you think we're all blind?"
00:24:58 Then Naomi opened her eyes, and seeing Eileen in such a ferocious mood, she immediately
00:25:04 realized what had happened.
00:25:07 She hurriedly got out of Kevin's arms and explained to Eileen.
00:25:11 "Ma'am, I just met Kevin yesterday.
00:25:15 He saved my life."
00:25:18 Eileen didn't even bother to listen to the explanation.
00:25:21 Instead, she raised her hand and viciously slapped Naomi's face.
00:25:27 "Do you know the true identity of this girl?
00:25:31 He is a married man."
00:25:33 Eileen cursed loudly.
00:25:36 She was just worrying about not being able to get a hold of Kevin, but Kevin had shown
00:25:42 up on his own.
00:25:44 This time, she wanted to see if Kevin had anything else to say.
00:25:50 Naomi covered her face as tears welled up in her eyes.
00:25:54 Without a doubt, the woman in front of her was Kevin's mother-in-law.
00:26:00 Not far away, the woman with the ice-cold and outrageously beautiful face was Kevin's
00:26:06 wife.
00:26:07 "Ma'am, don't talk to me.
00:26:10 You're not worthy of speaking to me," Eileen cursed out loud.
00:26:17 As she did so, she raised her hand, preparing to slap Naomi again.
00:26:23 But this time, Kevin grabbed her hand in midair.
00:26:27 "Enough."
00:26:29 Kevin suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep tone.
00:26:33 "This has nothing to do with Naomi."
00:26:35 "It doesn't matter," Eileen sneered.
00:26:39 "So what if you say it's okay?
00:26:42 So many pairs of eyes are watching you.
00:26:46 Are you blind?"
00:26:48 "Eileen, don't cause trouble for no reason."
00:26:53 Kevin's expression turned cold.
00:26:56 Eileen was clearly trying to blow the matter up.
00:26:59 "I'm making trouble for no reason?"
00:27:04 Eileen pointed at his nose with a look of disbelief on her face.
00:27:08 "You piece of junk actually dared to say that I was fooling around.
00:27:15 Where do you get your ideas from?
00:27:19 Kevin, what is going on?
00:27:22 I need an explanation."
00:27:25 At this moment, Alan also walked over with a sullen expression.
00:27:30 He was not clear about the situation with Nick, but with Naomi right in front of him,
00:27:36 he could only watch as Kevin carried her in.
00:27:40 He couldn't help but doubt what was going on.
00:27:43 "Dad, Naomi and I only got to know each other yesterday."
00:27:49 Kevin patiently explained again what happened yesterday when Kari crashed into Amy's car.
00:27:55 And then what happened today at the restaurant with Naomi.
00:28:00 After hearing that, Alan was skeptical.
00:28:08 Eileen's face instantly turned purple.
00:28:12 She pointed at Kevin's face and cursed.
00:28:15 "You smashed your aunt's car for this vixen?
00:28:20 You still dare to say that you have nothing to do with her?"
00:28:25 Kevin's expression turned cold.
00:28:27 "I smashed Amy's car because she deserved for her car to be smashed."
00:28:35 Eileen was so angry that her hair stood on end.
00:28:38 "Alan, listen.
00:28:42 Listen to this idiot's words.
00:28:45 What do you mean Amy's car should be smashed?
00:28:50 Amy is her first aunt after all.
00:28:53 For a girl like this, he smashed his own aunt's car and even said that she deserved it.
00:29:01 His aunt's car should be smashed.
00:29:04 Un-be-lievable.
00:29:05 If he dares to ruin Amy's car for this little vixen today, then what would he do to our
00:29:13 family tomorrow?"
00:29:15 "Eileen, stop arguing.
00:29:18 I have something to say."
00:29:21 Kevin's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
00:29:23 "As the saying goes, you should not air your dirty laundry in public.
00:29:30 Even if Kevin really did the wrong thing, he should still go home and deal with it.
00:29:37 Not cause a scene in a public place with so many people like the hospital."
00:29:41 "No way.
00:29:44 No one is allowed to leave until this matter is cleared up."
00:29:48 Eileen refused to forgive him and hardened her heart to humiliate Kevin in front of everyone.
00:29:54 "Mom, let's go."
00:29:57 At this moment, Claire spoke.
00:30:00 Her voice was cold and her expression could not be mistaken.
00:30:04 "I can't go back."
00:30:07 Eileen blurted out without thinking.
00:30:09 "I have to have an explanation for everything here today."
00:30:13 "Why don't you explain the situation clearly, Kevin?"
00:30:17 "What do you want me to say?"
00:30:20 Kevin asked as he took a deep breath.
00:30:24 Eileen sneered.
00:30:25 "What else can you say?
00:30:28 Tell me about your relationship with Nick and this little vixen before you knelt down
00:30:33 and apologized to Claire.
00:30:35 If you agree to that, then we can talk about going back."
00:30:39 "Eileen, don't push your luck.
00:30:44 I'm just friends with Nick and Naomi.
00:30:47 It's not like what you said at all."
00:30:50 Kevin gritted his teeth and said word by word.
00:30:53 "You, a good-for-nothing who has done the wrong thing many times, still have the guts
00:31:00 to say that I'm getting ahead of myself?
00:31:04 Who gave you the courage?
00:31:06 Let me tell you, Kevin.
00:31:08 Alan and I are not that easy to bully.
00:31:12 If you don't kneel down to Claire right now, then you won't be able to even take a step
00:31:17 into our family in the future.
00:31:20 Tomorrow, you will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and settle the divorce procedures with
00:31:26 us, Claire."
00:31:27 "All right."
00:31:28 A cold voice rang out.
00:31:33 Subsequently, the entire audience was stunned.
00:31:37 "Sweetheart, what did you say?"
00:31:41 Kevin couldn't believe the word that had come out of Claire's mouth.
00:31:45 "I agree."
00:31:47 Claire glanced at Eileen expressionlessly.
00:31:50 "Tomorrow, Kevin and I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.
00:31:55 Are you satisfied?"
00:31:58 The smile on Eileen's face stiffened as she said in embarrassment, "Claire, are you kidding?"
00:32:06 Claire shook her head.
00:32:07 "I'm not joking."
00:32:08 "Claire, don't talk nonsense."
00:32:13 Alan's face turned serious.
00:32:16 Claire continued to shake her head.
00:32:18 "I'm not spouting nonsense."
00:32:22 After saying that, she looked at Kevin.
00:32:25 "Kevin, let's get a divorce."
00:32:26 "Divorce?"
00:32:30 Kevin raised his head as he couldn't believe what she was saying.
00:32:35 "Why?"
00:32:37 After taking a deep breath, Kevin's tone calmed down.
00:32:41 "I'm tired of fighting."
00:32:44 Claire remained calm.
00:32:46 However, Kevin's heart tightened.
00:32:49 It was as if he was forcefully grabbed by a big hand.
00:32:54 Even breathing became difficult.
00:32:56 He could tell that Claire was serious this time.
00:33:00 She wanted a divorce.
00:33:03 "However, let's go home."
00:33:06 Kevin took another deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
00:33:11 "No.
00:33:13 No need.
00:33:14 I'm serious this time."
00:33:16 Claire looked straight at Kevin.
00:33:18 Her beautiful eyes were unmoved.
00:33:21 "Claire, don't be emotional."
00:33:24 Alan shouted in a deep voice.
00:33:26 "The most difficult three years.
00:33:29 You and Kevin have survived it.
00:33:31 Don't throw it away now."
00:33:32 "That's right, Claire.
00:33:35 I was just joking."
00:33:38 Eileen tried to smooth things over as well.
00:33:41 She rolled her eyes and said, "Even though this piece of trash did do a lot wrong, it's
00:33:48 still understandable.
00:33:49 A divorce.
00:33:50 Forget about divorce."
00:33:51 "Dad, Mom, don't say any more.
00:33:57 I've already thought it through.
00:34:00 Kevin and I are not suitable.
00:34:04 Three years ago, we shouldn't have been together.
00:34:07 Today, this relationship should be over."
00:34:11 But instead, Claire was as calm as ever.
00:34:14 So quiet that it was terrifying.
00:34:17 However, Kevin's face was extremely pale.
00:34:21 "Sorry, Kevin.
00:34:24 I'm not a good wife."
00:34:26 Claire took a deep breath and suppressed her trembling voice.
00:34:30 After she finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back.
00:34:35 "Claire!"
00:34:36 Alan panicked.
00:34:38 Eileen was also getting anxious.
00:34:41 She glared at Kevin.
00:34:43 "Nuthead!
00:34:44 What are you still standing there for?
00:34:47 Hurry up and chase after her!"
00:34:50 "Kevin, quickly go and chase after your wife.
00:34:55 Explain everything to her."
00:34:57 Eileen was so anxious that she was about to cry.
00:35:01 No need.
00:35:04 Kevin shook his head.
00:35:06 No one knew Claire better than him.
00:35:08 Although she looked weak outside, her real character was more challenging than anyone
00:35:13 else.
00:35:14 Once a decision was made, no one could change her mind.
00:35:20 Even he couldn't get through to her.
00:35:22 As for the divorce, Kevin could only say that it was not unexpected.
00:35:27 "Kevin, do you really want to divorce Claire?"
00:35:32 Alan's voice turned cold.
00:35:34 "Yes."
00:35:36 Kevin nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Dad."
00:35:41 "Oh."
00:35:42 Alan sighed heavily.
00:35:44 He didn't know what to say.
00:35:46 However, he could discern that Claire's decisiveness was due to another reason.
00:35:52 It was not about Nick or Naomi.
00:35:56 Useless things.
00:35:58 Although she had been instigating Claire to get a divorce for the past three years, she
00:36:03 was surprised when Claire made the decision.
00:36:07 She couldn't accept it.
00:36:08 "It's all your fault.
00:36:11 If it weren't for you causing so much trouble, would Claire have ended up like this?"
00:36:17 Alan vented his anger on Eileen.
00:36:19 "Huh?
00:36:20 Why is it my fault?
00:36:23 It was this nuthead who was cheating.
00:36:26 Claire saw the truth and she divorced him.
00:36:30 Alan, why did you throw the blame on me?"
00:36:34 "If you didn't say divorce, would Claire even be able to think of that?"
00:36:40 Kevin left the hospital with a dejected expression.
00:36:44 He didn't hear what was going on behind him.
00:36:48 Naomi caught up to him and explained while crying.
00:36:50 "Kevin, I'm sorry.
00:36:53 It's all because of me."
00:36:58 Kevin waved his hand and forced a smile.
00:37:01 "I don't blame you, Naomi.
00:37:04 This has nothing to do with you.
00:37:06 There are other reasons Claire divorced me."
00:37:09 "But…"
00:37:10 "No buts.
00:37:12 You can go back.
00:37:13 I want to be alone."
00:37:14 Kevin wandered along the street.
00:37:24 His mind was like a movie, replaying the memories of the past three years with Claire.
00:37:31 They were bitter, yet also sweet.
00:37:34 Unfortunately, however, most of them were dull.
00:37:39 When he first met Claire three years ago, she was covered in blood.
00:37:43 Eileen didn't want any trouble and wanted Alan to throw him out.
00:37:48 However, Claire did her best to stop it.
00:37:51 She even had a massive argument with Eileen over this.
00:37:56 Claire's kindness moved Kevin.
00:37:58 Later, under Alan's guidance, he and Claire became husband and wife as he wished.
00:38:06 He chose to endure to prevent the Bennett family from finding him, turning himself into
00:38:11 a good for nothing.
00:38:14 This time, he endured that for three years.
00:38:18 In those three years, he had been ridiculed and mocked.
00:38:22 In the Wrights family eyes, he was nothing but a loser.
00:38:27 Everyone looked down on him.
00:38:29 Only Claire held hope for him.
00:38:32 Although Claire had never said it before, he could still feel it.
00:38:37 For Claire's sake, he had put all his effort into cultivating them and almost put his life
00:38:42 on the line for her.
00:38:45 He cultivated from the middle period of the Dark Force stage to the early period of Converting
00:38:50 Force stage.
00:38:52 Many practitioners would never be able to cross these three obstacles in their entire
00:38:57 lives, but it only took him three years.
00:39:01 When others saw his early period of Converting Force stage, they would only think that it
00:39:06 was because of his overflowing talent.
00:39:10 But only he knew that it was because of Claire that he was able to cultivate to the early
00:39:15 period of Converting Force stage.
00:39:18 He was forever grateful to Claire.
00:39:21 If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be here today.
00:39:25 He would give up his blood feud with the Bennett family if he could.
00:39:30 He and Claire could have a peaceful life together, but in this world, there were no ifs.
00:39:38 The Bennett family did not want him to be at peace.
00:39:41 When he arrived under a maple tree, Kevin stopped, because in front of him, there was
00:39:47 a silver Rolls Royce.
00:39:50 In front of the car, two women stood tall.
00:39:55 One was dressed extravagantly, while the other showed her might without anger.
00:40:01 At this moment, the well-dressed woman had a faint, taunting expression on her face.
00:40:07 All of a sudden, Kevin clenched his teeth.
00:40:11 He finally understood.
00:40:14 He understood why Claire wanted a divorce.
00:40:18 "Ivy?"
00:40:20 The woman in gorgeous clothes smiled.
00:40:23 Then, she crossed her arms and walked toward Kevin step by step.
00:40:29 When she arrived in front of him, she had a teasing expression.
00:40:34 "Are you not going to call me mother anymore?
00:40:38 Are you just going to call me Ivy?"
00:40:42 "Is it you?"
00:40:45 He was still thinking about why Claire was so determined to divorce him.
00:40:50 He was clear that it was not because of Nick or Naomi.
00:40:54 There must be some other reason, but he could not fully understand why.
00:41:00 When he saw Ivy, he instantly understood.
00:41:04 "Is that me?
00:41:07 I don't understand what you're saying."
00:41:10 The corners of Ivy's mouth still had a trace of ridicule.
00:41:14 "Have you been looking for Claire before?"
00:41:19 Kevin forcefully suppressed his anger and asked.
00:41:23 This time, Ivy didn't deny it.
00:41:26 "Yes, it's me.
00:41:28 I tried to get her to divorce you the day before yesterday."
00:41:31 "Why?"
00:41:35 Kevin clenched his fists tightly and could not stop his anger from spewing.
00:41:40 "Why?"
00:41:41 Ivy smiled playfully.
00:41:42 "There's no reason why.
00:41:45 I just want to test how much that woman loves you.
00:41:50 She didn't let me down."
00:41:52 Taking a deep breath, Kevin calmed himself down.
00:41:57 "Ivy, I don't want you to interfere in the matter between me and Claire."
00:42:03 "I've already interfered.
00:42:07 What are you going to do with me?"
00:42:10 Ivy raised her chin as if to provoke Kevin.
00:42:14 Kevin didn't say anything.
00:42:16 Instead, he just clenched his fist.
00:42:19 He didn't have much enmity towards Ivy.
00:42:23 Because after 20 years of being in the Bennett family, this woman did not make things difficult
00:42:28 for him.
00:42:29 Nor did she make things difficult for his mother.
00:42:33 Logically speaking, she would be the one who hated him and his mother the most within the
00:42:38 entire Bennett family.
00:42:40 Surprisingly, she never showed the slightest bit of hatred toward them.
00:42:47 He couldn't understand this woman.
00:42:49 "You should know that you two are not suitable.
00:42:53 Sooner or later, she will become a burden to you."
00:42:59 The corners of Ivy's mouth curled into a smile.
00:43:02 "It has nothing to do with you."
00:43:06 Kevin's response was as cold as ever.
00:43:08 "Is that so?"
00:43:11 Ivy didn't mind.
00:43:14 After saying that, she sighed.
00:43:16 "In the past, it was not related to me.
00:43:21 But now, it certainly is."
00:43:25 Kevin's eyelids jumped.
00:43:26 "What do you mean?"
00:43:29 "Kevin, why ask when you already know the answer?"
00:43:34 Ivy suddenly sneered.
00:43:36 Kevin's pupils suddenly contracted.
00:43:39 "You should know the purpose of my visit."
00:43:44 Ivy lazily glanced at Kevin and said, "I don't want you to be drowned in the bush.
00:43:50 You help me deal with Bruce, and I'll protect Claire for you.
00:43:55 What do you say?"
00:43:58 "I don't know what you're talking about."
00:44:01 Kevin's face turned dark.
00:44:04 He wasn't sure if Ivy was testing the waters, or if she knew something.
00:44:09 "Not sure?"
00:44:11 Ivy smirked.
00:44:13 "Kevin, you can hide it from others, but not from me.
00:44:20 You broke through the early period of converting Four Stage three months ago, right?
00:44:25 A twenty-five-year-old martial arts master.
00:44:29 If that news gets out, I'm afraid it will scare a lot of people to death."
00:44:36 Ivy clicked her tongue and sighed.
00:44:39 Kevin's heart sank.
00:44:41 Ivy knew the date of his breakthrough.
00:44:44 This meant that she never gave up on monitoring him.
00:44:48 He had initially thought that in the entire Bennett family, only Harvey knew about him
00:44:53 breaking through to the early period of converting Four Stage.
00:44:57 But now...
00:44:58 "Kevin, I don't want to waste words with you.
00:45:03 You should know how my son died.
00:45:06 I only have one request for you, and that is to destroy Bruce's family and leave no
00:45:13 one alive."
00:45:14 Then, speaking of Bruce, a monstrous hatred flashed across the woman's face.
00:45:22 This hatred caused the surrounding air to freeze for a split second.
00:45:28 Kevin was silent.
00:45:30 He didn't expect Ivy to be so direct.
00:45:33 "Before you kill Bruce's entire family, I will protect your wife well," Ivy said again.
00:45:41 She believed that as long as Kevin wasn't stupid, he would understand what she meant
00:45:46 by "protect."
00:45:47 "You should know what realm Bruce is in right now."
00:45:53 Taking a deep breath, Kevin spoke with a deep voice.
00:45:56 He no longer had the time to consider whether Ivy's words were true or false.
00:46:01 However, her request was even more complex than ascending to heaven.
00:46:08 Bruce was in the late period of converting Four Stage.
00:46:11 He was the world's top martial arts master.
00:46:16 He was only a step away from becoming a supreme expert.
00:46:21 There were rumors in the outside world that Bruce had broken through to the Grandmaster
00:46:26 realm.
00:46:28 Whether the rumors were true or false, in this era where Grandmasters were not born,
00:46:34 Bruce was the strongest person in the world.
00:46:37 There was no doubt about it.
00:46:39 If Ivy wanted him to annihilate Bruce's entire family, it would be as difficult as ascending
00:46:45 to heaven.
00:46:47 "You have no confidence in yourself?"
00:46:51 The corners of Ivy's mouth curled up into a pretty curve.
00:46:59 Kevin did not say anything.
00:47:02 Killing Bruce was not a question of his confidence level.
00:47:06 Besides having the strength of a Grandmaster, he also had to consider the actions of the
00:47:11 Bennett family.
00:47:14 After all, they would not just stand by and watch Bruce die.
00:47:18 His whole body was thrown into turmoil.
00:47:22 Killing Bruce was almost like killing every enemy in the world.
00:47:28 At this moment, Ivy suddenly moved arrogantly.
00:47:31 "You should understand that Bruce will find trouble with you sooner or later.
00:47:38 When he was looking for trouble with you, the first person he looked for was Claire,
00:47:44 because she's your only weakness."
00:47:48 Kevin continued to remain silent.
00:47:51 Ivy was not wrong.
00:47:53 Indeed, Claire was his only weakness.
00:47:57 He subdued Jared and River and tried to rope in Nick.
00:48:01 Everything was to give Claire the power to protect herself.
00:48:05 But in front of the Bennett family, everything he had done seemed like a joke.
00:48:11 The power of the Bennett family was too great.
00:48:14 Any one of them could instantly wipe out Sacramento when they came out.
00:48:18 "Hand over Claire to me.
00:48:21 I won't let any harm come her way," Ivy said coldly.
00:48:27 Compared to Kevin, Claire was both a help and a hindrance.
00:48:32 Because of Claire, Kevin was stuck in Sacramento for three whole years.
00:48:37 Now, she, Ivy, wanted to break his shackle.
00:48:43 It allowed the true dragon to soar and fly out of Sacramento.
00:48:47 "Alright," Kevin finally spoke.
00:48:51 The ice on Ivy's face melted instantly, turning into a smile as warm as the spring sun.
00:48:58 She stretched out her hand.
00:49:00 "I hope for a pleasant cooperation."
00:49:04 Kevin didn't have any intention of shaking her hand.
00:49:08 Instead, he looked at Ivy coldly and said, "Protect her well.
00:49:14 If even the slightest mistake, I will destroy your entire family."
00:49:20 Ivy's tone became sluggish.
00:49:23 She didn't expect Kevin's tone to be so sharp.
00:49:26 However, she was a woman who had experienced a lot.
00:49:30 Soon, she recovered, and a smile reappeared on her face.
00:49:35 "Don't worry.
00:49:38 Three days later, I will let her go to Rosemont.
00:49:42 Since Rosemont is in my territory, nobody will be able to harm a single hair on her
00:49:49 head."
00:49:50 "Good."
00:49:52 Kevin looked at Ivy coldly.
00:49:54 Then he turned around and left without looking back.
00:49:58 He and Ivy using each other was already the best way to deal with Bruce's threat.
00:50:05 Ivy valued his potential.
00:50:07 He had taken Ivy's power seriously.
00:50:10 Ivy on her own would never be able to achieve her revenge in this lifetime.
00:50:15 As for him, even if he relied on himself, it would still be difficult for him to protect
00:50:20 Claire, so they had to work together.
00:50:25 Ivy protected Claire so he wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
00:50:30 He took care of Bruce and avenged Ivy.
00:50:34 However, Ivy's personality was erratic, and her way of doing things was unpredictable.
00:50:42 No one knew what she was thinking.
00:50:45 After returning to Beverly Hills, Kevin received a call from Eileen.
00:50:50 On the phone, she only said one sentence.
00:50:54 "Tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Claire would
00:51:01 bring her ID card with her for the divorce."
00:51:04 Kevin didn't reply.
00:51:06 He just hung up the phone and lay on the bed.
00:51:09 The following day, Kevin arrived at the Civil Administration Bureau on time.
00:51:15 As it was a holiday, many people lined up in front of the building.
00:51:20 The Wright family did not line up, but chose to wait at the door.
00:51:25 Claire wore a light blue dress with a lapel and cinched waist, revealing her delicate
00:51:30 white arms.
00:51:32 She wore a thin platinum necklace around her beautiful neck.
00:51:36 Her temperament was still cold, but her pretty face looked more exhausted compared to yesterday.
00:51:43 It was apparent that she hadn't had a good rest last night.
00:51:48 Eileen was the same.
00:51:50 Eileen, on the other hand, was in high spirits.
00:51:53 When she saw Kevin, she hurriedly waved her hand, signaling Kevin to go over.
00:52:00 After taking a deep breath, Kevin walked over.
00:52:03 "Did you bring your ID?"
00:52:07 Eileen glanced at Kevin in disdain.
00:52:10 Kevin coming over was beyond her expectation.
00:52:12 "I did," Kevin said lightly.
00:52:16 His gaze shifted to Claire, but she remained expressionless from start to finish.
00:52:22 "Let's go in," Alan sighed.
00:52:26 He knew that there was nothing he could do.
00:52:29 He had persuaded Claire to stay home, but her attitude was surprisingly persistent.
00:52:35 The divorce process was simple.
00:52:38 In less than ten minutes, all the formalities had been completed.
00:52:43 Kevin initially thought he could face everything calmly, but his heart trembled when he received
00:52:48 the divorce certificate.
00:52:51 It was as if he had suddenly lost something significant.
00:52:55 Claire's face had also lost all its color.
00:52:58 Her face was pale, and even her delicate body trembled a little.
00:53:03 Seeing this, Alan couldn't help but shake his head.
00:53:08 On the other hand, Eileen was as rude as ever.
00:53:12 "Kevin, let me tell you this.
00:53:15 From this moment onwards, you and my Claire have nothing to do with each other.
00:53:22 From now on, you will walk your path.
00:53:25 Claire will take her path.
00:53:28 Move aside.
00:53:29 I forbid you to have any contact with Claire."
00:53:33 Kevin ignored Eileen and looked at the side of Claire's face in a daze.
00:53:39 As if she could feel Kevin's gaze, Claire's delicate body trembled even more intensely.
00:53:46 Eileen continued to blabber.
00:53:48 "I will arrange a new marriage for Claire.
00:53:52 At the most, in a month, Claire will get remarried.
00:53:56 This time, she will marry a man who is a thousand times better than you.
00:54:00 When the time comes, you'd better not bother her."
00:54:03 "Shut up."
00:54:06 At this moment, Alan suddenly shouted in anger.
00:54:10 The whole place was instantly silent.
00:54:14 Eileen also kept quiet for a while before she recovered.
00:54:17 She immediately became angry.
00:54:19 "What are you shouting for, Alan?
00:54:24 What's there to be angry about on such a joyous day?"
00:54:29 "Joyous?"
00:54:30 Alan clenched his teeth and wanted to slap Eileen.
00:54:33 "Of course, it's a joyous occasion.
00:54:38 Your daughter has followed this good-for-nothing for three years, suffered three years of hardship,
00:54:44 and received three years of scolding without missing a day.
00:54:49 Now she's free.
00:54:52 What else could it be other than a joyous occasion?"
00:54:56 In her opinion, Kevin and Claire's divorce was cause for celebration.
00:55:02 As long as she dumped Kevin, she could choose any man in the world she wanted based on her
00:55:07 background.
00:55:10 Marrying into a wealthy family was not a problem at all.
00:55:14 "You!"
00:55:15 Alan was furious.
00:55:17 Eileen's twisted logic left him speechless.
00:55:20 "Dad, mom, it's all right.
00:55:24 I was indeed not right for Claire in the past.
00:55:28 I didn't give her happiness."
00:55:30 Kevin calmly spoke, and Claire's delicate body trembled again.
00:55:35 Alan sighed.
00:55:37 "Kevin, justice is in the hearts of people.
00:55:41 I see everything you do.
00:55:44 You have never let down this family, much less Claire.
00:55:48 I know you and Claire's divorce must be for your reasons.
00:55:53 I obviously cannot persuade you and will not advise you either.
00:55:58 However, I want to tell you this.
00:56:01 Even though you two are divorced, as long as I am around, the Wright family will forever
00:56:07 be your home.
00:56:09 You can come back whenever you want.
00:56:11 You will always be my son-in-law.
00:56:15 Other than you, I will not recognize anyone else."
00:56:20 Alan's words came from the bottom of his heart.
00:56:24 It gave Kevin a warm feeling in Kevin's heart.
00:56:27 His soul was shaken for a moment.
00:56:30 He could do nothing but love coming from a father.
00:56:34 Kevin could bear hatred, but he was used to being cursed and treated as a rugrat as he
00:56:40 could not hold Alan's fatherly affection.
00:56:43 He banged his hand and became teary-eyed.
00:56:45 "Dad, I will come back to visit you guys often."
00:56:52 Eileen curled her lips and didn't retort, with an unusual expression on her face.
00:57:00 "Alright, Claire, let's go back."
00:57:07 Eileen got up and walked over to Claire.
00:57:11 Claire nodded slightly and put the divorce certificate back into her bag.
00:57:15 "Wait a moment."
00:57:18 Kevin's slightly trembling voice sounded.
00:57:21 Claire's delicate body froze once again.
00:57:25 Seeing that Kevin was about to walk to Claire's side, Eileen hurriedly stood up to stop him,
00:57:30 her eyes filled with ill intent.
00:57:33 "Trash, what are you doing?
00:57:36 You and Claire are divorced.
00:57:39 She's not your wife anymore."
00:57:40 "I have something to give to Claire," Kevin said calmly.
00:57:46 "What is it?"
00:57:48 Eileen looked at Kevin doubtfully.
00:57:50 "The ice lotus pill."
00:57:54 Kevin removed the jade box containing the ice lotus pill and gently opened it.
00:58:00 Ancient medicine lay quietly within the jade box.
00:58:03 "Ice lotus pill?"
00:58:06 Eileen took the pill and placed it before her nose to smell it.
00:58:11 She immediately frowned.
00:58:13 "What is the use of this medicine?"
00:58:16 "It can cure hidden injuries," Kevin said.
00:58:21 "Huh."
00:58:22 Eileen curled her lips.
00:58:24 Her face showed indifference.
00:58:27 She placed the pill back into Kevin's hand and snorted coldly.
00:58:31 "I appreciate your good intentions, but take the medicine back.
00:58:36 Claire does not need it."
00:58:38 "Mom, give it to me."
00:58:41 At this moment, Claire calmly spoke.
00:58:44 "No, I can't give it to you.
00:58:47 The origin of this medicine is unknown.
00:58:50 What if it's poison?"
00:58:52 Eileen snorted coldly.
00:58:54 "Eileen, don't be such a petty person.
00:58:57 Would Kevin really give poison to Claire?"
00:59:01 Alan's expression turned cold.
00:59:03 "Why not?
00:59:05 This piece of trash just divorced Claire.
00:59:08 He's still holding a grudge toward her.
00:59:10 Why wouldn't he give her poison?"
00:59:13 Eileen argued.
00:59:15 At this moment, Claire took the ice lotus pill from Kevin's hand and swallowed it.
00:59:21 "Claire, what are you doing?"
00:59:25 Eileen panicked.
00:59:26 "How can you just take this medicine directly?
00:59:30 What if it's poison?
00:59:32 Spit it out."
00:59:34 Claire ignored Eileen and turned around to look at Kevin.
00:59:38 She then calmly said, "Thank you.
00:59:42 No need."
00:59:43 Kevin shook his head.
00:59:45 "I'm leaving."
00:59:47 Claire's expression remained calm.
00:59:50 "Yes."
00:59:52 Kevin nodded and took a deep breath.
00:59:54 His lips curled into a forced smile.
00:59:57 "Take good care of yourself."
00:59:59 "I will."
01:00:01 Claire nodded lightly.
01:00:04 The two of them looked at each other, speechless.
01:00:07 Claire turned around.
01:00:09 Tears flowed like spring water as she turned to leave.
01:00:14 After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Kevin found breathing hard, as if a giant rock was
01:00:19 pressing on his chest.
01:00:21 In the end, he and Claire hadn't been able to hang on.
01:00:26 Although he could have guessed the ending when he married three years ago.
01:00:30 However, he found this resolution hard to accept.
01:00:35 The promise of living together forever became a dream in the blink of an eye.
01:00:40 He didn't blame Claire or Ivy for the divorce.
01:00:43 He only blamed himself.
01:00:46 He could only blame himself for not having enough strength.
01:00:49 If he was strong enough, he could have protected Claire.
01:00:53 It would never have happened like this.
01:00:56 It was all his fault.
01:01:00 Kevin took a deep breath.
01:01:02 He calmed his emotions.
01:01:04 Right now, there was only one thing he could do, and that was to become stronger.
01:01:10 So strong that he could fight against the Bennett family.
01:01:15 Powerful to the point that Bruce was wary of him.
01:01:19 Only then would he be able to go back for Claire.
01:01:22 "Claire, wait for me.
01:01:26 We won't be separated for long."
01:01:29 Kevin took a deep breath and swore in his heart.
01:01:33 Soon, Kevin received a call from Dex.
01:01:36 "Kevin, the fire poison in the Master's body can't be suppressed anymore."
01:01:42 Dex's tone was solemn.
01:01:44 "A few weeks ago, the fire poison had invaded Bronn's body.
01:01:50 However, Bronn, with his deep cultivation base, forcefully withstood it.
01:01:56 But the fire poison seemed to have invaded his lungs in the past few days.
01:02:01 Once that happened, nobody would be able to save Bronn's life."
01:02:05 "I got it.
01:02:07 Go immediately buy a plane ticket, and I'll head to Rosemont this afternoon."
01:02:13 These few days, he had been busy dealing with the mess brought on by Debra, and had almost
01:02:19 forgotten that the fire poison infected Bronn.
01:02:21 "Alright, Kevin.
01:02:23 I'll go buy it now."
01:02:26 After hanging up, Kevin returned to the hospital.
01:02:29 However, he still had to see Kari and Naomi before leaving Sacramento.
01:02:35 The moment he entered the room, Kevin saw Naomi feeding Kari soup.
01:02:41 "Kevin?"
01:02:43 Looking at Kevin, Naomi immediately stood up, flustered, her hair and charming face
01:02:48 revealing an embarrassing redness.
01:02:51 "How's your leg?"
01:02:53 Kevin smiled.
01:02:54 "No, it's okay.
01:02:57 The doctor said my leg is fine.
01:02:59 I'll be alright after a couple of days."
01:03:03 Naomi looked at Kevin evasively.
01:03:05 "Good."
01:03:07 He nodded and shifted his gaze to Kari.
01:03:09 "Kari, how are you feeling?"
01:03:12 "I'm much better too, sir."
01:03:16 Although Kari's tone was still weak, it was apparent that her complexion was much better
01:03:20 than it was a few days ago.
01:03:22 "That's good.
01:03:25 I have to go to Rosemont in the afternoon.
01:03:27 I still don't know how long I'll have to stay there.
01:03:31 After I leave, if you encounter any trouble and need any help, just call this person and
01:03:37 tell him my name.
01:03:39 He'll help you."
01:03:41 As Kevin said that, he sent a text to Naomi.
01:03:45 "Kevin, we can't accept any more help from you.
01:03:49 We've already troubled you enough."
01:03:52 Kari was a little frightened.
01:03:53 However, Kevin was highly compassionate to her and her daughter.
01:03:59 Kevin shook his hand.
01:04:00 "Ma'am, the woman who bumped into you that day was my aunt.
01:04:05 She was more or less related to me.
01:04:07 I have an obligation to make up for the mistakes she made."
01:04:13 "Kevin, no matter what, Naomi and I still have to thank you.
01:04:19 Without you, we really don't know what we would have done."
01:04:23 Kari said sincerely.
01:04:25 "Oh, what about you and your wife?"
01:04:30 Kari looked at Kevin again.
01:04:32 "Yesterday, when Naomi returned, she told her everything, and when she heard Kevin and
01:04:38 Claire had gotten divorced because of Naomi, her heart couldn't help but feel sad.
01:04:44 Their family would owe Kevin a lot if Kevin got divorced because of Naomi."
01:04:49 "It's fine.
01:04:51 We've already made up."
01:04:53 Kevin smiled and lied.
01:04:55 "What happened last night had nothing to do with Naomi, so he did not need to burden them
01:05:01 with the truth."
01:05:02 "That's good.
01:05:04 That's good."
01:05:06 Kari heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Kevin.
01:05:09 Naomi, standing to the side, looked as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden.
01:05:15 Just then, Naomi's phone suddenly rang.
01:05:19 As she picked up the call, Naomi didn't know who was on the other end of the phone, but
01:05:24 an awkward expression appeared on her pretty face.
01:05:33 Not long after, Naomi hung up the phone.
01:05:36 There was a hint of disappointment on her face.
01:05:39 "What is it, Naomi?"
01:05:42 Kari asked.
01:05:43 Knowing her daughter and seeing the look on Naomi's face, Kari knew that Naomi must have
01:05:49 had some serious problem.
01:05:51 "N-nothing."
01:05:54 Naomi shook her head with a forced smile on her pretty face.
01:05:57 "Tell me the truth."
01:06:00 Kari's face sank.
01:06:03 Naomi bit her lips and whispered.
01:06:05 "The one who just called me was the admissions department.
01:06:09 They told me to report to the school immediately."
01:06:11 "What did you say?"
01:06:15 Kari's voice dropped.
01:06:17 "I...I said I wouldn't be able to go for the time being."
01:06:22 Naomi lowered her head and said, "Nonsense.
01:06:26 How can you say that?
01:06:28 What if the school doesn't want you anymore?
01:06:31 It wasn't easy for you to pass the examination."
01:06:35 Naomi had entered Rosemont University with the top score in the entire city.
01:06:41 She should have registered at the school a few days ago, but Naomi missed her registration
01:06:46 time because of everything that had happened.
01:06:49 Finally, however, the admissions office gave her a few more days of grace.
01:06:55 Unexpectedly, he called again today.
01:06:58 "Call them back immediately and tell him that you'll be there today."
01:07:04 Naomi shook her head.
01:07:05 "Mom, I'll go back in a few days.
01:07:09 You've lost your job and your movements are still difficult.
01:07:13 If I go to school, no one will be able to take care of you.
01:07:18 When you recover and find a job, I'll go back."
01:07:22 "No.
01:07:23 Go to school right away.
01:07:26 My injury has almost fully healed and I can go to work soon and not disturb you from attending
01:07:32 school," Kari said without a doubt.
01:07:35 "But…"
01:07:36 "Alright, Naomi.
01:07:38 We'll register at the school first.
01:07:41 As for your mom's job, I can solve it for you."
01:07:44 He could tell Naomi wanted to take care of Kari, but it was already September.
01:07:50 Universities all over the country were starting to open, and if Naomi didn't sign up now,
01:07:56 it would be a waste of three years of high school effort.
01:07:59 "Kevin, you can?
01:08:02 It's… is that true?"
01:08:05 Naomi asked in surprise.
01:08:07 If Kevin could solve Kari's job problem, she wouldn't have to worry about the consequences.
01:08:13 Instead, she could easily register at the school.
01:08:17 "Yes," Kevin smiled and said.
01:08:20 "My family needs a housekeeper for daily cleaning.
01:08:24 Unfortunately, I can't find a suitable candidate.
01:08:28 Kari, if you don't mind, come and be my housekeeper."
01:08:32 "I don't mind?
01:08:35 Of course I don't mind!"
01:08:37 Kari quickly waved her hand with a happy expression.
01:08:41 She was already so grateful to Kevin for giving her a job.
01:08:45 How could she have the right to dislike what kind of work it was?
01:08:49 "That's good," Kevin nodded.
01:08:52 "Kari, when you are discouraged, come and work at my house.
01:08:57 I'll give you $10,000 a month for your wages, and then I'll buy food and provide shelter."
01:09:03 "Ten thousand?"
01:09:06 Kari's eyes widened, and so did Naomi's mouth.
01:09:10 The next moment, Kari hurriedly said, "Kevin, this is out of the question!
01:09:18 The salary you're offering is too high, with my primary school education and incompetent
01:09:24 family.
01:09:25 A woman like me can only babysit for $2,000 to $3,000 a month.
01:09:31 You give me $10,000?
01:09:33 This is too much!
01:09:35 Kari, please, let me finish."
01:09:38 Kevin smiled slightly.
01:09:40 "The area where I live is very big.
01:09:44 It's about 5,000 square feet.
01:09:46 If you clean it by yourself, it'll take a lot of effort, so a salary of $10,000 is not
01:09:52 high."
01:09:53 "5,000 square feet?"
01:09:57 The mother and daughter looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
01:10:02 Just how big was this house?
01:10:05 "In addition, the reason why I'm looking for you is because you are reliable and trustworthy.
01:10:13 If it were anyone else, even if it were $1,000 a month, I would not let her clean for me."
01:10:20 Kevin's words were spoken with sincerity.
01:10:23 He had seen Kari's character after these few days of interaction.
01:10:28 She was honest, did not have any malice in her heart, and even knew how to repay gratitude.
01:10:35 But Kari still felt a little apologetic.
01:10:39 $10,000 was simply too high.
01:10:43 "Don't but, it's decided then.
01:10:46 Naomi is studying at Rosemont.
01:10:48 Her tuition and living expenses are still a huge expense for you, so you'll have to
01:10:53 bear all these.
01:10:55 Kari, the burden on your shoulders is still quite heavy."
01:10:59 Kevin smiled.
01:11:00 "Alright then, don't worry.
01:11:04 I'll definitely clean your house."
01:11:06 Kari said.
01:11:07 "Thank you, Kevin."
01:11:11 Naomi solemnly bowed to Kevin, at the same time swearing in her heart that she would
01:11:16 repay Kevin well in the future when she earned some money after her graduation.
01:11:22 "Naomi, go back and pack.
01:11:25 If there's anything you need, bring it with you.
01:11:28 It just so happens that I'll be going to Rosemont this afternoon."
01:11:32 Kevin said.
01:11:33 "It's the first time Naomi's been away, and she's so beautiful.
01:11:38 I don't know what will happen if I let her go alone."
01:11:41 "I'll have to ask you for another favor," Kari said.
01:11:46 "It's no trouble."
01:11:48 Kevin smiled.
01:11:50 After settling Kari and Naomi down, Kevin left the hospital and returned to Beverly
01:11:55 Hills.
01:11:57 After bringing a few changed clothes, he took out the ice lotus pill that he prepared for
01:12:02 Braun and then went to see the Wright family.
01:12:06 After knocking on the door, he found that Alan was the one at home.
01:12:10 "Dad, where's Claire?"
01:12:13 "Eileen took her to buy some clothes.
01:12:16 Come in first," Alan said.
01:12:18 "No, dad, I won't come in."
01:12:22 Kevin shook his head and took a share certificate from his bag.
01:12:26 "Dad, when Claire comes back, give her this certificate of transfer of ownership."
01:12:31 "A share transfer?"
01:12:35 Alan frowned.
01:12:37 He took the share transfer letter from Kevin and casually glanced at it.
01:12:42 When he saw the signature on the share transfer letter, Alan's pupils suddenly contracted
01:12:46 in disbelief.
01:12:48 "This… you bought Hanson's still?"
01:12:53 "Yes."
01:12:55 Kevin nodded and said, "Ever since Jack took control of US Bank Tower, the company's
01:13:01 revenue has been getting worse and worse.
01:13:04 It has always been on the verge of bankruptcy, so I had my friends buy the company from Jack
01:13:09 through the bank."
01:13:12 These things were all done secretly by Jared.
01:13:15 Kevin had not done anything directly, so Jack still didn't know that his company was in
01:13:19 the hands of Kevin.
01:13:21 "This… how much did it cost?"
01:13:26 Alan still could not accept that the core business of the Wright family was right in
01:13:30 front of him.
01:13:32 "Fifty million," Kevin casually said.
01:13:36 Of course, the actual value of the US Bank Tower was much more than fifty million, but
01:13:41 the one in charge of the business was Jack, who had long become a mess.
01:13:47 The company was heavily indebted, and the higher-ups were constantly leaving the company.
01:13:52 But since Kevin had the Beverly Hills Resort to endorse it, he wouldn't worry about this
01:13:58 problem.
01:13:59 Therefore, a few days ago, when he heard that Jack had put up a board to sell the US Bank
01:14:04 Tower, he told Jared to buy it.
01:14:10 "Fifty million?"
01:14:15 Kevin closed his eyes and felt his heart ache.
01:14:18 He had not expected that the US Bank Tower, whom Joseph had painstakingly created, would
01:14:24 end up like this.
01:14:27 What was the difference between fifty million and giving it away for free?
01:14:32 At one time, the market value at its peak was eight hundred million.
01:14:37 But now…
01:14:39 Of course, Alan didn't blame Kevin.
01:14:42 On the contrary, he was even a bit grateful, because if it wasn't for him, the US Bank
01:14:48 Tower might have fallen into someone else's hands, and become someone else's property.
01:14:54 That was something he absolutely could not accept.
01:14:58 Joseph's hard work, falling into someone else's hands, was the most great humiliation
01:15:04 to the descendants of the Wright family.
01:15:07 "Kevin, this thing is too valuable.
01:15:11 You'd better wait for Claire to return and give it to her yourself," Alan sighed.
01:15:17 He understood Kevin's meaning.
01:15:19 It was the best choice to hand over the US Bank Tower to Claire.
01:15:24 Only Claire could lead the company back to glory for the Wright family.
01:15:28 Joseph would not hesitate to help Claire accept Kevin's kind intentions if it were the past.
01:15:35 But now, the two of them were divorced.
01:15:39 It would be a little inappropriate if he were to accept such a precious item.
01:15:43 "No, dad.
01:15:45 I'm going to Rosemont right now, so I don't have time to wait.
01:15:50 It would be best if you handed it over to Claire.
01:15:53 She will accept it."
01:15:55 It would be more appropriate to say that the US Bank Tower was his gift to Claire than
01:16:00 to say that it was a gift to Alan.
01:16:04 Alan probably didn't know that Claire would also leave for Rosemont soon.
01:16:09 Once Claire got to Rosemont, the one who took charge of the US Bank Tower in the end would
01:16:14 be Alan.
01:16:15 "Alright then, fine."
01:16:19 In the end, Alan still accepted the share transfer letter.
01:16:23 "So, why are you going to Rosemont?"
01:16:27 "An old friend of mine is sick.
01:16:30 I'll go see if I can help," Kevin said.
01:16:34 Alan nodded his head.
01:16:35 "Be careful over there."
01:16:37 "Rosemont is not like our Sacramento.
01:16:42 It's a proper international city.
01:16:44 There are many extremely wealthy people, and many of them are not as they appear.
01:16:50 Ten years ago, my leg was broken in Rosemont.
01:16:54 Who did it?"
01:16:56 Kevin's gaze sank.
01:16:58 He had known Alan had an injured leg for a long time, but he hadn't known Alan's leg
01:17:03 had been broken.
01:17:05 "Now, Alan said that someone broke it.
01:17:10 It's a young man from a wealthy family.
01:17:13 Could you not ask who he is?
01:17:15 I won't tell you.
01:17:18 The reason I mentioned it is to remind you to go over there and be more low-key in your
01:17:22 life.
01:17:24 To lower your head and not offend anyone.
01:17:28 If you offend someone you shouldn't, you should either return to Sacramento or hide outside
01:17:33 and not risk your life."
01:17:35 Alan exhorted sincerely with all his heart.
01:17:40 As someone who had experienced this before, he was clear on how deep the danger in Rosemont
01:17:45 went.
01:17:47 If he met a random thug on the street, perhaps the one behind him would be a big shot with
01:17:52 many connections.
01:17:54 "Dad, I'll remember your words.
01:17:58 Once I'm there, I'll be careful."
01:18:01 He didn't know how long he would be in Rosemont, so it was likely that he would be back tomorrow.
01:18:05 But, of course, it was also possible that he would have to finish dealing with Bronze
01:18:12 Matter before coming back.
01:18:14 "Oh, right.
01:18:16 I have a piece of jade here."
01:18:20 It was pawned to me by an old friend of mine.
01:18:22 At that time, he encountered difficulties in his business and was unable to transfer
01:18:28 the funds.
01:18:29 Thus, I lent him a hundred thousand dollars and he gave me this jade as collateral.
01:18:35 A few days ago, he called me and said that he wanted to redeem that piece of jade.
01:18:41 This time, when you go to Rosemont, bring the jade with you.
01:18:46 As Alan said this, he took out an inky black piece of jade from his room.
01:18:52 The ancient jade carving of a dragon and the engraved phoenix was not perfect, but they
01:18:57 were not bad either.
01:19:00 After passing the jade to Kevin, Alan said, "My old friend and I have a pretty good relationship.
01:19:07 If you encounter any trouble, you can ask him for help."
01:19:10 "Thank you, Dad.
01:19:13 Yes, I will."
01:19:15 Kevin nodded.
01:19:17 Alan's intention was obvious.
01:19:20 It was to let his old friend accept his kindness and care for Kevin.
01:19:24 "Kevin, I know that you and Claire got divorced.
01:19:29 You must have your reasons.
01:19:31 I don't need to know the specifics, but there is something I must tell you.
01:19:38 Your relationship with Claire wasn't an easy road.
01:19:41 It's a pity that it ended just like that.
01:19:44 I would like to see you and Claire reunite if possible."
01:19:48 Alan said sincerely.
01:19:50 "Dad, you don't have to worry.
01:19:53 Claire and I won't be separated for long."
01:19:56 Kevin took a deep breath.
01:19:58 As long as he had the strength to break Bruce's wrists, he could return to Claire.
01:20:04 "I believe you."
01:20:06 Alan heavily patted Kevin's shoulder.
01:20:10 After leaving the Wright family home, Kevin went straight to the high-speed rail station.
01:20:16 At the train station entrance, the four Bennett siblings and Naomi were waiting.
01:20:20 Today, Naomi wore conservative black pants, a brown Scottish-checked shirt, and flat shoes.
01:20:29 She was dressed entirely like a schoolgirl.
01:20:32 From the bottom, the young girl's long legs were perfectly round.
01:20:37 Even though she was wearing loose pants, she could still make out some of the contours
01:20:41 of her body.
01:20:43 Her slender waist, shallow eyebrows, and soft lips made everyone's eyes light up.
01:20:50 Compared to Naomi, the four Bennett siblings dressed more casually.
01:20:55 However, both powerful and fierce, Gavin and Atticus were still conspicuous in the crowd.
01:21:02 "Fighter Kevin!"
01:21:06 Atticus couldn't help but shout out when he saw Kevin.
01:21:09 "Fighter Kevin?"
01:21:12 Naomi couldn't help but be surprised.
01:21:15 She didn't understand why Atticus would call him that, like in the movies.
01:21:20 Plus, judging from Atticus's age, he was much older than Kevin.
01:21:26 Kevin smiled and walked in front of them.
01:21:29 "Don't call me that from now on."
01:21:32 In the United States, martial artists and ordinary people are in two completely different
01:21:37 worlds.
01:21:39 If Atticus often said those words out loud, he would probably be treated as a lunatic.
01:21:45 Atticus was slightly surprised.
01:21:47 "What are you shouting for?"
01:21:50 "Nothing," Kevin said with a smile.
01:21:54 He wasn't the sort of person who was rigid and conservative.
01:21:58 "Whatever.
01:22:00 Then I'll call you Brother Kevin," Atticus thundered.
01:22:04 Kevin smiled and didn't say anything.
01:22:07 "Brother Kevin, we still have an hour before we get on the train.
01:22:13 Let's go to the lounge to rest first."
01:22:15 "Alright."
01:22:17 The group of people dragged their luggage towards the station.
01:22:21 Naomi was like a small rabbit as she obediently followed behind Kevin.
01:22:26 She was blushing the whole time and didn't say a word.
01:22:30 "Excuse me.
01:22:32 Excuse me."
01:22:33 At this moment, a few muffled sounds came from the entrance and the crowd began to disperse.
01:22:44 He saw four men in black uniforms, with eyes as sharp as falcons, escorting a young woman
01:22:51 wearing a black mask to pass the security check.
01:22:55 The young woman wore a white Givenchy shirt and sky blue denim shorts.
01:23:01 Her two beautiful legs under the shorts were smooth and white, like pearls without the
01:23:06 slightest flaw.
01:23:09 Even though the lady was wearing a mask and her face was concealed, you could tell she
01:23:13 was beautiful.
01:23:15 However, the woman had a devilish body.
01:23:19 The moment she appeared, she attracted the attention of countless people in the station.
01:23:26 The hall was filled with the sounds of shock.
01:23:29 Even the gazes of the four Bennett brothers were a little stiff at this moment.
01:23:35 Kevin's gaze was naturally attracted as well.
01:23:38 However, his attention was not on the woman.
01:23:41 Instead, it was on the four men in black who were surrounding her.
01:23:47 These were four warriors.
01:23:50 Two of them were at the middle stage of the bright force, while the other two were at
01:23:54 the late stage of the bright force.
01:23:57 Their expressions were solemn and murderous, and their eyes were sharp.
01:24:03 Even though they had passed the security check, their hawk-like eyes continuously scanned
01:24:08 the entire area, trying to nip all potential threats in the bud.
01:24:13 Kevin narrowed his eyes.
01:24:15 Curiosity rose in his heart.
01:24:17 What on earth was the identity of this tall and beautiful young lady?
01:24:24 Did she need to use four martial artists to protect her movements?
01:24:28 Kevin was thinking about this when he saw the young girl's gaze drift over.
01:24:34 The four men in black immediately understood what the young girl meant and walked towards
01:24:39 Kevin with her in tow.
01:24:42 Dex frowned and subconsciously took a step forward.
01:24:45 However, the young woman didn't even look at Dex.
01:24:49 Instead, she passed him and walked straight into the tea house behind him.
01:24:56 After entering the tea house, the woman took out a book, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat
01:25:01 on a chair and started reading.
01:25:03 "Kevin, let's go in as well!"
01:25:07 Atticus rolled his eyes and chuckled.
01:25:09 "Yes."
01:25:11 Kevin nodded and walked into the cafe.
01:25:14 Atticus walked to the front.
01:25:17 Once he entered, his gaze fell on the young woman sitting in the chair.
01:25:21 She was currently reading a book.
01:25:24 Her two slender legs were superimposed on each other, causing her white skin to dazzle
01:25:29 the eyes.
01:25:31 Although Atticus' heart was curious, he understood that this woman's identity was not ordinary,
01:25:38 and she was not someone that he could get his hands on.
01:25:42 He walked over to the bar and started to order some coffee.
01:25:46 However, after a few steps, a man in a black uniform stood before him.
01:25:52 "Sir, I'm sorry.
01:25:55 This place has been reserved by our miss.
01:25:58 Please leave."
01:26:00 The man in the black uniform glanced at Atticus expressionlessly.
01:26:05 "Reserved?"
01:26:08 Atticus frowned and was unconvinced.
01:26:10 "This is the train station, not your house.
01:26:14 Plus, this coffee shop isn't owned by you.
01:26:17 So what right do you have to rent a room?"
01:26:20 "Sir, I don't want to repeat the same words.
01:26:24 Please leave, or else you will face the consequences."
01:26:29 The voice of the black uniformed man turned cold, revealing a vague sense of threat.
01:26:37 Atticus was about to lose his temper when Kevin said lightly, "Atticus, come back.
01:26:43 Let's move somewhere else."
01:26:44 "Okay, Kevin."
01:26:48 Atticus was slightly surprised and hardly agreed.
01:26:51 But of course, he didn't dare to disobey Kevin's words.
01:26:56 Seeing Atticus eagerly starting to walk away, the man in the black uniform couldn't help
01:27:01 but look at Kevin in surprise.
01:27:04 He initially thought that the older Dex led Kevin's group, and he didn't expect the
01:27:09 natural leader to be the unremarkable looking Kevin.
01:27:14 Although he was surprised, his gaze did not focus on Kevin and the others.
01:27:20 From start to finish, the young female sitting in a chair did not even look at Kevin and
01:27:26 the others.
01:27:28 She did not even raise her head.
01:27:30 Instead, her entire attention was focused on the book in her hand.
01:27:36 After exiting the cafe, Atticus glanced at the opposite side and said, "There's a
01:27:43 coffee shop right over there.
01:27:45 Let's go inside and rest."
01:27:46 "Alright," Kevin smiled.
01:27:50 He could more or less guess Atticus's thoughts, but the identity of that young girl was not
01:27:56 something he could afford to think about.
01:27:59 The five of them entered the coffee shop.
01:28:02 Atticus casually ordered a few things and then selected a seat near the window.
01:28:08 The glass here was utterly transparent, and through the glass, they could see the young
01:28:13 woman in the coffee shop opposite them.
01:28:17 The four men in black uniforms also noticed this, but they only glanced coldly at Atticus
01:28:22 before retracting their gaze.
01:28:26 A few minutes later, another group of people went into the cafe.
01:28:31 However, just like Kevin and his group, they were still chased out.
01:28:37 The four men in black uniforms were the type who refused to budge.
01:28:41 Regardless of gender or age, anyone who tried to enter the cafe would be told to leave.
01:28:49 Soon, half an hour passed.
01:28:52 "Kevin, it's about time.
01:28:55 Let's go check out the tickets.
01:28:57 The train will be arriving soon."
01:28:59 Atticus said as he looked at the time and stood up.
01:29:03 Kevin nodded and was about to get up when two figures caught his attention.
01:29:09 There were two men carrying backpacks and wearing a uniform.
01:29:13 They were also wearing hiking shoes and were dressed like passengers.
01:29:18 The two men were very different heights.
01:29:22 The one six feet tall looked like he had a big chest and thick waist.
01:29:27 When he walked, he was like a black ape from deep in the mountains, giving off an extremely
01:29:33 oppressive feeling.
01:29:35 The shorter one was about five and a half feet tall.
01:29:39 He was skinny and had a sharp mouth and round cheeks.
01:29:43 He looked like a small, weak squirrel.
01:29:45 They walked into the coffee shop, talking and laughing, and headed for the bar.
01:29:52 The leader of the men in black stood up once again and chased them away with a cold expression.
01:29:58 The temper of the more prominent man seemed to be slightly explosive.
01:30:03 Finally, after arguing with the uniformed man for a while, he extended his hand to push
01:30:09 the uniformed man out of his way.
01:30:12 The bodyguard pushed back a step and immediately lost his temper.
01:30:16 Then, he subdued the large man on the spot with a slight backhand movement.
01:30:23 The man half knelt on the ground with a red face.
01:30:26 The skinny man smiled apologetically and took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket as if
01:30:31 he wanted to offer one to the man in the black uniform.
01:30:35 The man coldly stared back and remained unmoved.
01:30:39 At this moment, the skinny man opened the cigarette case.
01:30:44 Suddenly, something happened.
01:30:47 From the typical looking pack of cigarettes, three silver needles the size of a finger
01:30:51 shot out.
01:30:55 In the blink of an eye, three silver needles had pierced the bodyguard's eyeballs.
01:31:01 After a blood-curdling screech, he fell to the ground, with his face covered in blood.
01:31:09 The tall man that had been knocked down roared in rage and instantly exploded with his fists
01:31:16 flying towards the guards closest to him.
01:31:17 (upbeat music)
