In an abandoned old warehouse, the exterior was a crumbling city wall, behind which stood ordinary brick buildings. The bricks had faded and aged with time, and the steel roof sheets were rusted and corroded.
The once quiet warehouse was now bustling with activity.
A group of outsiders had arrived, all of them ruffians and hoodlums.
The place was filled with boasting voices, each person bragging about how tough and formidable they were.
Georgia finally regained consciousness. It felt like she had been dreaming for a long time, and then was awakened by the noisy sounds around her. Voices of several people reached her ears.
“Cheetah, you better not sell me out, okay? If you do, my life will be over. Not only the Adams family, I won’t be able to stay in Hiphia anymore.”
“Don’t worry! I have been around the streets for a while. After today, no one will know how Georgia ended up in our hands, and no one will know how she died.”
Cheetah was a top figure in Hiphia’s underground world, the leader of the gangs in economic development zone! Many establishments were under his control. Of course, his back was the Ford family; without the Ford family’s support, he wouldn’t have reached his current status.
However, in recent days, his position seemed to be under threat because the Ford family had hired a particularly formidable person.
That person was the prominent figure from ten years ago-Damian Morgan!
Damian was idolized by many, including Cheetah himself. But he never expected that one day he would be replaced by Damian.
Damian claimed he couldn’t appear in public, so the Ford family had Cheetah capture Georgia.
He specifically investigated Georgia and found out that the Adams family had someone named Jamie who was Georgia’s arch-rival. So he found Jamie, got Georgia’s routine from him, and arranged to meet her.
If not for Jamie, perhaps Cheetah wouldn’t have successfully captured Georgia.
“Ha, thank you! It’s an honor to work with someone as great as you. On another note, Georgia brought it on herself. I warned her, but she didn’t believe me. Picking fights with the Ford family is just asking for death.”
“You’re clever, kid, picking the right team!” Cheetah praised Jamie.
“Yeah, yeah, I know who to provoke and who not to!”
“Alright, you go first! We have more important things to do,” Cheetah impatiently ordered them out.
Jamie was stunned for a moment, then asked, “By the way, you said the Ford family would back me, make me the chairman of Adams Group, and collaborate with the Ford family. Is that true or not?”
Actually, Jamie wasn’t stupid. He clearly knew why the Ford family was targeting Georgia-because the Adams family’s growth was threatening the Ford family’s status.
He just hoped that someone could step in and rein in Georgia’s momentum at this point; otherwise, she became stronger so quickly that he might be forgotten completely. Of course, he wouldn’t mind if these people ended up killing Georgia. That way, he could be the head of the Adams family without any worries, and Grandma would have only him as a choice.
Whenever he thought of this, he felt secretly pleased.
Cheetah frowned and said, “Of course it’s true. When have you ever seen the Ford family joke around? The Ford family is always decisive in their words and actions.”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m leaving now! By the time she wakes up, Cheetah, goodbye.”
After saying this, Jamie slyly walked out of the warehouse door.
“This guy has given his all for his status,” Cheetah couldn’t help but commend.
“By the way, Cheetah! Georgia is Hiphia’s top beauty. If we kill her just like that, don’t you think it’s a waste?” A fat man, licking his tongue with shifty eyes, said.
“She truly is a beauty!” Cheetah genuinely sighed, eyeing Georgia from top to bottom. His gaze was intense, as if he wanted to devour her.
“How about…” the fat man rubbed his hands together, chuckling, “Before Damian arrives, let’s enjoy ourselves first! Such a beautiful woman, once Damian arrives, he definitely won’t give us this chance. He’ll lock the door and enjoy her alone, and we’ll have nothing but to stand and watch, feeling frustrated. Let’s enjoy her while we can. She’s nearly dead, and it would be a pity if she dies. Let’s have some fun!”
A skinny man nodded repeatedly, “Yeah, yeah, you’re right! Cheetah, she must have been drugged! She hasn’t woken up yet, so let’s enjoy ourselves. She’s such a delicacy, unlike the women we know. It would be a shame to waste her. If we could enjoy a bit, it would be worth the trip. Anyway, she’s almost dead; it would be a pity if she dies. Let’s have some fun!”
Cheetah’s expression changed, then he barked domineeringly, “Bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? The Ford family told me not to harm this woman, to wait until Damian arrives to make the final decision. If we harm her, we’ll all suffer! How dare we provoke Mr. Ford? Of course not. Without Mr. Ford, where would we be?”
The two men, scolded by Cheetah, lowered their heads. Cheetah continued, “Alright, you guys go stand by the door! I’m going to check this woman for any injuries. If she gets hurt, we’ll be in big trouble.”
“Ha?” The two men opened their mouths wide, but Cheetah frowned and asked, “What? Any doubts?”
They shook their heads, “No, no, we have no doubts.”
Shaking their heads, the two walked helplessly towards the door.
The fat man snorted, displeased, “When did Cheetah become so righteous? A woman as beautiful as her, are we just going to let her go? This is damn waste.”
The skinny man chuckled coldly, “Are you stupid? Can’t you see? Cheetah wants to start first, and after he’s done, he’ll call us!”
“Really?” The fat man widened his eyes, looking incredulous.
The skinny man gave the fat man a disdainful look, “Or what?”
After the two left the small booth, only Cheetah and Georgia remained inside.
Georgia’s fragrance was strong. Cheetah swallowed hard, stepped closer to Georgia, and chuckled, “Good things shouldn’t be shared. Hiphia’s top beauty, you’re mine.”
