His Lordship Alexander Kane

“Hmph! We don’t have to bother with him! He’s just too arrogant. Does he think Brett won’t dare to kill him?” “Well, only death awaits him now after he offended Brett.”

“| heard that Brett is following that legendary bigwig in Province Town...”

At that, the others immediately fell silent. Brett Panther was enough to send chills down their spine. If he had the support of that specific mogul, they would not dare to offend him at all!

George was already digging his grave when he offended Brett.

All these years, they had been dominated by George. This was a great opportunity to take down his business and expand their own powers!

“Sir!” A subordinate entered with an ugly expression. “The Imperial Bathhouse has closed down!”

“What?” The men frowned at this. Nick Panther’s Imperial Bathhouse was doing extremely well. On top of that, they had Brett Panther to manage it at that moment. Why would it close down?

“Brett Panther is down, too! Some said that the enemy has crippled him. He was taken to Province Town to be resuscitated. Apparently, he’s gone all limp, and the hospitals in Ol’ Mare wouldn't help him!”

What?!

The entire room was in pin-drop silence as the men looked at each other in shock. Brett had only returned for a few days, yet he was already crippled?

The Imperial Bathhouse was closed down?

Unbelievable! No enemy would exact revenge so quickly!

“Speak!” One of the men came to his senses and looked at his subordinate. “What happened to Brett?”

“|-I didn’t see for myself, but | heard that his bones were crushed. | don’t think he'll be able to stand up anymore.” Crash!

Someone's hand slipped, and an expensive crystal wine glass fell to the floor, shattering in pieces.

Chills ran down their spines.

Brett Panther, the immovable force, had only returned for a few days! How was he already beaten up so badly? Who in Ol’ Mare had such powers that they could cripple the Fanther brothers one after the other? It was terrifying!

Could it be...

“George Severn!” A few of the men looked up, having remembered that George had called Brett a coward. George surely had something to do with Brett's downfall!

“George has such a powerful man with him. He sure is secretive!”

Another boss suddenly furrowed his brow and said, “No. If George is that powerful, why did he give us all those profitable businesses?”

They were all silent.

George had fought to the end with them over territories and those businesses back then. Nothing terrible happened when he suddenly quit. Was he really going to wash his hands off all dodgy business and only become an honest

businessman? They did not believe it!

George received the news while he was in his limousine. Even if he had long predicted the outcome, his heart still raced. It was too terrifying.

Brett was no match at all for Alexander. Alexander worked quickly and handled every problem!

Fear, admiration, and adoration were all George felt for Alexander.

George pondered for a while before making a call. When the call connected, he said firmly, “Gather all the shareholders; I’m calling a group board meeting. | have a huge announcement to make. Everyone has to be there.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He was going to give Severn Group all to Amber to manage.

This was a gamble, and he knew. He had experienced everything in this world. He made up his mind in just a mere few seconds, yet he did not feel like he was losing out on anything.

Alexander seemed to have hinted that he would develop other businesses. As long as he followed Alexander loyally, he would get something far bigger than the

Neil was in this office, gritting his teeth.

The construction site of the plant went awfully well, and the first stage was soon completed. He had to kick Amber out of the Chesire Group before that and wrestle the power for himself.

“Where’s Jerome?” Neil asked his secretary with a sullen face. He did not know where his son went. “Mister Chesire is with a few other heirs from Province Town.”

Neil was a little unhappy but said nothing of that. Those rich brats from Province Town had no whatsoever skills other than living a luxurious life. However, they were from powerful families. If Jerome could be friends with them, he might have wider options in the future.

“By the way, is there still no news from Nick Panther? That useless bastard...” Neil swore, lamenting his bad choice of hiring Nick.

“A-Apparently, Nick Panther has been beaten up and paralyzed, sir,” his secretary stammered. “Also, the Imperial Bathhouse has closed down. Nick Panther is nowhere to be found as well.”

“That useless piece of trash!” Neil thumped his desk angrily.

He had given more than a million dollars! Did Nick take the money and run? However, Nick was quite reputable, so Neil was sure Nick would not have done so.

Neil sighed and shook his head helplessly. The thugs of the underworld were of a different world. Perhaps Nick fell into a trap.

Nick, that useless fool, took his money but failed to deliver what he promised!
