The events that happened on the day Orion was released from prison played like a movie in his head. Goosebumps formed layer after layer on his skin. The incident at Myriad Dragon Merchant Guild gave him nightmares all night long, and he fell ill the next day.
The doctor said it was due to shock-induced blood deficiency, bile reflux, and arrhythmia. Fortunately, he had a strong body and recovered after three days of intravenous fluids and several days of quick-acting heart-saving pills.
Orion thought about inviting Flynn out for dinner once he calmed down. Little did he know that less than a week later, trouble found him again.
Edwin was no exception either; that day he had brought along his baseball bat to teach Flynn a lesson.
Edwin pulled Orion aside and whispered into his ear with trembling voice,” Did I just curse like an idiot?”
Orion’s hairs stood on end as he nodded slightly before replying softly, “Yeah… you even said you wanted to leave some skin on him!”
“Did I just call him an asshole?”
Edwin tried to control his trembling hands and nodded, whispering, “Yeah, and you said you’re gonna shake all the eggs in his house too!”
Boom!
Their minds were thunderstruck as their eyes widened.
They both looked towards Flynn sitting in the distance, with narrowed eyes exuding a chilling aura.
“I swear to God,” Edwin muttered under his breath.
“Son of a gun,” Orion cursed quietly.
This guy wanted them dead!
Rose was confused. What were these two up to? Why were they whispering?
“I think I heard something about leaving some skin on him and shaking all the yellow out of his eggs. They’re discussing how to deal with this bastard!”
“You see how angry Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Kennedy are? Their whole bodies are shaking from anger! Of course! An ant from a third-tier family not only beat Alexander but also slapped Miss Gallagher three times. How could they not be angry?”
“He’s really stirred up trouble today. Get ready for the wrath of thunder! Hope he don’t wet his pants later!”
The celebrities at Niarak held their glasses waiting for the impending beating while female fans eagerly awaited more excitement ahead.
“Edwin, what do you think we should do?” Orion asked.
Before Edwin could speak, Evie spoke up, “I think he should kneel down and cut off his own hands as an apology to Alexander and me!”
“Yes! And the Kaur family must be destroyed! The man will become a beggar, and the woman will become a prostitute!”
“Especially Madeline. We must have ten men take turns with her in front of Flynn!”
Boom!
Edwin’s heart exploded at once!
This girl wanted him dead and wanted to destroy the Gallagher family overnight!
Edwin swung his arm round and delivered a powerful slap.
Smack!
He used all his strength to ensure that one hit would knock Evie out so she wouldn’t say anything else.
It worked like a charm.
Evie flew sideways, landing heavily on the ground. Her skirt was lifted by the wind revealing black safety shorts covering her long legs.
“I’ve raised you for twenty years, teaching you manners every day. Do you take my words as fart?”
“Miss Sharp used to be the CEO of the Sharp’s Group and had close cooperation with our family. Who else can we trust if not her?”
“Orion and I often go to Miss Sharp’s office, and every time she has Virginia with her to discuss cooperation. What does that mean? She wants to groom her, right?”
“Virginia calls her ‘sister’ and even held Miss Sharp’s hand when she saw us off downstairs. How friendly is that?”
“Eyes don’t lie. If Miss Sharp often scolded her, would she still smile so sweetly?”
Orion quickly nodded in agreement, “I have the same thought as Edwin – Miss Sharp definitely wouldn’t scold Virginia like that; this woman must have been bought by Alexander!”
“And besides, Miss Kuar is pure; how could she actively seduce other men?”
The scene fell silent.
Some stretched their necks out, their eyes blinking rapidly.
Some had their mouths open wide enough for their chins to touch their throats.
Some were pulling at their hair in disbelief.
Rose felt inexplicably moved in her heart.
She never expected herself to fall so low but Edwin and Orion didn’t kick her while she was down – it proved her innocence!
Madeline stiffened up before letting out a long sigh of relief.
She felt light all over!
“Mr. Gallagher, what do you mean by this?” Alexander looked at Edwin incredulously, completely stunned.
“What does that mean?” Edwin sneered and announced loudly to the crowd, “We will also establish an internal investigation team to thoroughly investigate the incident of Alexander harassing Miss Kuar! Once we have enough evidence, we will hold him accountable under the law!”
“Don’t worry, Evie will be confined at home indefinitely until she fully understands what is meant by propriety and morality. Then we’ll figure out what to do next!”
“Today’s farce has shocked everyone. Please don’t let it affect your mood. Eat and drink as you please! Don’t be restrained!”
Edwin’s words were like a heavy bomb dropped in the midst of the crowd.
The whole room erupted into chaos.
“Mr. Gallagher, you…” Alexander looked at Edwin in shock, never expecting this outcome.
“Escort them out!” Edwin bellowed with disgust as he waved his hand.
The bodyguards rushed forward and escorted Alexander and his group out of the room.
“Flynn, just wait for it. This isn’t over yet. I’ll make sure Asco Entertainment sends people over here! I’ll personally crush you!” Alexander gritted his teeth in anger and shouted before leaving.
Flynn remained calm throughout all this while Orion could only smile wryly after hearing Alexander’s threat.
Asco Entertainment International was indeed powerful with a market value worth billions of dollars – even ten Myriad Dragon Merchant Guilds combined couldn’t compare to them – but their boss would still have to kneel before King of the Underworld if they ever met face-to-face!
“Miss Kaur,” Edwin quickly came to Madeline’s side, apologizing, “I’m sorry for the confusion. You’ve been wronged.”
“But don’t worry, we’ll make it up to you! Please don’t be angry!”
Madeline was surprised and nodded repeatedly. “Thank you so much Mr. Gallagher! I should be thanking you instead!”
Edwin smiled and said, “Alright then! I have to take this young lady home and scold her now. We won’t keep you any longer.” He then walked quickly with Orion towards the door.
“Am I letting you go?” A voice as heavy as thunder sounded from behind.
Flynn slowly stood up.
