00:00:00Episode 221, Fighter Promotion
00:00:06Carmen thought that he would never have anything to do with Travis.
00:00:10But today, he met Travis' disciple once again.
00:00:14Technically, Kevin was not a martial arts grandmaster, but
00:00:18the shock and awe he inspired were nothing less than a true martial arts grandmaster.
00:00:24He had not achieved grandmaster status because he was too young.
00:00:28He was only 25 years old.
00:00:30Since he was already martial arts master at the age of 25,
00:00:34it was only a matter before he became a martial arts grandmaster.
00:00:38It would not be much of an exaggeration to say that Kevin, standing in front of him,
00:00:43was the world's 10th martial arts grandmaster.
00:00:47Carmen looked resigned.
00:00:49At this point, he had nothing to be afraid of.
00:00:52To be able to die in the hands of a future martial arts grandmaster,
00:00:56even if he went to hell, he would at least have something to brag about once he got there.
00:01:01Seeing Carmen's death wish, Kevin knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him.
00:01:07So he turned to Aunt Stella and said,
00:01:10Aunt Stella, try your best to force the remains of his soul magic out of him.
00:01:14Violently.
00:01:15Please!
00:01:17Henry did not hesitate at all.
00:01:19Instead, he immediately knelt on the ground and started kowtowing.
00:01:24Grandmaster Bennett, have mercy!
00:01:27Please, Master Bennett, have mercy.
00:01:31I look down on people, but my eyes can't even tell the difference between a lake and the ocean.
00:01:36Master Bennett, please let me go.
00:01:40In his lifetime, he had never experienced such a scene.
00:01:45In his eyes, Carmen, who was almost unbeatable,
00:01:49was actually crippled by Kevin with just a green leaf.
00:01:54And Kevin was a true martial arts master.
00:01:58He no longer had any way to know Kevin's true identity, nor did he dare to think about it.
00:02:03He only knew that it would be as easy as crushing an ant to death if Kevin wanted to kill him now.
00:02:10And even if Kevin killed him, his family would not dare to try for revenge.
00:02:15Even his father, Neil Goodson, would personally pay a visit to apologize to Kevin for inconveniencing him.
00:02:22Henry's father would do whatever it took to prevent Kevin from becoming annoyed,
00:02:26indirectly extinguishing his entire family.
00:02:30Kevin shook his head.
00:02:31Henry was in a very sorry state when he kowtowed.
00:02:35But when he had kicked the door in earlier and arrogantly shouted, he looked majestic.
00:02:41Do you want to live? Kevin said coldly.
00:02:44Henry was surprised for a moment.
00:02:47Then, quickly nodded and said,
00:02:50Yes, very much.
00:02:53Master Bennett, as long as you spare me, I am willing to be your slave.
00:02:58I'm willing to do anything you want me to.
00:03:00If you were an ox or a horse, I might have a use for you.
00:03:04But you don't have the right qualifications to be of use to me.
00:03:07Kevin impatiently interrupted Henry.
00:03:10He even felt it was a bit shameful to have a weakling like Henry for a servant.
00:03:15Yes, yes, yes, Grandmaster Bennett, I do not have the qualifications.
00:03:20Henry quickly agreed.
00:03:22His attitude was as humble as dust.
00:03:24How about this?
00:03:26Harry Johnston is my brother.
00:03:28Go help him solve the problem with his family, and I will let you go.
00:03:33After muttering to himself irresolutely, Kevin signed.
00:03:37His current identity was not good for him to be exposed,
00:03:40so he couldn't come out and help Harry solve his family problems.
00:03:44However, he could make Henry do it.
00:03:47Thank you, Master Bennett.
00:03:49I will help Mr. Johnston solve all of his problems with his family.
00:03:53Henry cried with joy and kowtowed to Kevin once again.
00:03:56He did not expect Kevin to be so generous and let him go.
00:04:00The trouble with Harry's family would be nothing compared to his life.
00:04:04Honestly, there was nothing to be afraid of.
00:04:07Kevin slightly nodded his head.
00:04:09He did not kill Henry.
00:04:11Not because he was magnanimous,
00:04:13but because Henry did not practice the Royal Maiden technique.
00:04:16So, to him, Henry was just like a tiny ant.
00:04:20Leaving such an ant around would be of some use.
00:04:23Also, I do not wish anyone else to know about this matter.
00:04:27Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences.
00:04:31There weren't many people who knew that he was close to becoming a Grand Master.
00:04:35And other than his father, Harvey,
00:04:37there weren't many who knew that he was the Bennett family heir.
00:04:40Therefore, Kevin didn't want his secret to be leaked.
00:04:44Master Bennett, don't worry.
00:04:46I won't reveal even half a word.
00:04:49Henry hurriedly nodded.
00:04:51He was sure that Kevin could exterminate the Goodson family with ease right now.
00:04:55So, to show that he knew what was good for him,
00:04:58he would not leak the news of Kevin's status to outsiders.
00:05:01Then scram, Kevin said indifferently.
00:05:05He had seen Henry's guts.
00:05:07He was not worried that Henry would go back on his word.
00:05:10Thank you, Master Bennett.
00:05:12I will scram now and help Harry.
00:05:14Henry had a timid smile on his face.
00:05:17After speaking, he almost crawled and tumbled as he ran out of the yard.
00:05:22Well, Miss Halen, I've already done what I promised you.
00:05:26Kevin turned around and spoke calmly while looking at Nick.
00:05:29Thank you, Master Bennett.
00:05:31Nick cupped her hands.
00:05:33She was still not used to calling Kevin Master.
00:05:36Kevin waved his hand and smiled.
00:05:38No need to thank me.
00:05:40You need to remember what you promised me.
00:05:42A complicated expression flashed across Nick's pretty face,
00:05:46but she quickly recovered.
00:05:48Master Bennett, don't worry.
00:05:50I, Nick Halen, am not the person who goes back on my word.
00:05:55So anyone who wants to hurt Claire will have to step over my dead body.
00:06:00That's good, Kevin nodded.
00:06:02In addition, Kevin then shifted his gaze behind her.
00:06:06Aunt Stella, I still have to trouble you to keep this matter a secret from me.
00:06:10I do not wish that anyone in my family knows I am becoming a Grand Master.
00:06:14Aunt Stella's shoulders trembled slightly.
00:06:17So Kevin indeed knew that she had connections with the Bennett family.
00:06:21Grand Master Bennett, rest assured I won't say a single word.
00:06:27Aunt Stella respectfully nodded.
00:06:29Towards Kevin, she was currently respectful and fearful.
00:06:33But what she respected was Kevin's strength.
00:06:36He was as strong as any soul magic master at only 25 years old.
00:06:41What she feared were Kevin's character and methods.
00:06:45From everything she knew, Kevin was ready to break all ties with the Bennett family.
00:06:50If that weren't his plan, Kevin would not have gotten to such a level at this age.
00:06:55Even escaping his family three years ago was likely one of Kevin's plans.
00:06:59It was all for the sake of hiding his true strength.
00:07:10Kevin probably knew very well that if he continued to live under the nose of his family,
00:07:15it would be difficult for him to escape their control and surveillance.
00:07:19Only by avoiding the eyes and ears of the Bennett family would he have a chance against them.
00:07:25Now it seemed that Kevin had succeeded.
00:07:29He had managed to hide from them for this long.
00:07:32Although Aunt Stella didn't know how Kevin had hidden his strength from everyone in his family,
00:07:37she knew that he had managed to conceal it from the conversations
00:07:41with all of the higher-ups in the Bennett family who had contacted her.
00:07:45The Bennett family official even thought that Kevin was only a middle-level practitioner.
00:07:51Therefore, he was not worried about him.
00:07:54If placed in the outside world, a practitioner at the level they assumed Kevin to be
00:07:59could perhaps become the overlord of a province.
00:08:03But in the Bennett family, someone at that level would only be considered a high-level servant.
00:08:09So the Bennett family was not afraid of Kevin or his powers.
00:08:13But the true level of his strength... that was not ordinary.
00:08:18Even in the Bennett family, warriors of this caliber didn't come around often.
00:08:23Most of them fell just short.
00:08:26If the Bennett family believed that Kevin was as powerful as he was,
00:08:30they would come after Kevin and cause him to suffer greatly.
00:08:34After leaving Nick Allen's courtyard, Kevin originally wanted to bid farewell to the Johnston siblings.
00:08:40Still, at the time, Kevin gave up on bidding farewell to the siblings so late at night.
00:08:46After Kevin left, Nick's courtyard was very quiet.
00:08:50After a while, Aunt Stella let out a faint sigh and was the first to speak.
00:08:56Miss Helen, have you fallen in love with Master Bennett?
00:09:01Nick's delicate body stiffened.
00:09:04She didn't admit it, and asked,
00:09:07So what if I like his company?
00:09:09Aunt Stella sighed.
00:09:11You should understand that there is no possibility of a future between you and Master Bennett.
00:09:17Ignoring that he is already married, you can't go after him.
00:09:22Even if he weren't married, based on his complicated relationship with his family,
00:09:28it would be impossible for anything to happen between you.
00:09:32Aunt Stella, you're thinking too much.
00:09:34I don't like him. I... I admire him a little.
00:09:38Nick's voice was cold and detached.
00:09:41Previously, she was proud and arrogant, thinking that no man in this world could compare to her.
00:09:47However, after seeing Kevin today,
00:09:50she realized that she had underestimated at least one person in this world.
00:09:56Kevin was the same age as her,
00:09:58but the world already revered him as a deity by being a martial arts master.
00:10:03However, he was a heaven-warping talent that could easily dominate an entire province,
00:10:10and she, regarded as a proud daughter of heaven,
00:10:14as the phoenix among men,
00:10:16was merely a beginner compared to him.
00:10:19Even more laughable was that she had thought herself so powerful before
00:10:24that she had become complacent, assuming no one could compare to her.
00:10:28Seeing Kevin today,
00:10:30she finally knew how much of a frog in the well she was.
00:10:34Flying flower harvest against the legendary Crazy Carmen.
00:10:38Kevin was in complete control of the situation
00:10:41and was not afraid of facing the wealthiest family.
00:10:44Regardless of strength or bearing,
00:10:46Kevin was more than a hundred times stronger than ever before.
00:10:50Furthermore, Kevin's character was similarly unbeatable to her.
00:10:55In these three years as the son-in-law of the Wright family,
00:10:59he was treated as useless by millions of people
00:11:02and received all sorts of contempt and mockery.
00:11:06She would have already attacked the Wright family a long time ago if it had been her.
00:11:10The word formidable was perfect to describe him.
00:11:14Admire him,
00:11:16Aunt Stella sighed and did not say anything else.
00:11:20With Nick's arrogant nature,
00:11:22she believed that she only admired and liked him.
00:11:25Perhaps even she did not even realize this subtle change in her emotions.
00:11:30The next morning,
00:11:31Harry woke up early and went to Kevin's room.
00:11:34Seeing that the room was empty,
00:11:36he was stunned.
00:11:38This guy didn't come back for the entire night?
00:11:41Did he stay with Nick?
00:11:43Harry muttered in a low voice.
00:11:45In his opinion,
00:11:46the only reason Kevin wouldn't return for the whole night
00:11:49was if he was sleeping with Nick.
00:11:51Harry felt chills down his spine as soon as he finished his words.
00:11:55It was as if he was being watched by something.
00:11:59Brother?
00:12:00At this moment,
00:12:01Jennifer's embarrassed voice sounded out.
00:12:04Little sister,
00:12:06why are you...
00:12:07Harry turned around
00:12:09and was about to ask Jennifer why she was there.
00:12:12But when he saw the frosty expression on her face,
00:12:15he swallowed his words back into his stomach.
00:12:19Oh!
00:12:20Miss Howland!
00:12:21Harry's tongue was in a knot.
00:12:23He did not expect Jennifer to be there,
00:12:26but he was especially surprised to see Nick behind her.
00:12:30When he looked at Nick's pretty face,
00:12:32it was obvious that she heard his mutterings.
00:12:35Harry had a bitter smile on his face.
00:12:38Just when he was thinking about how to explain it to Nick,
00:12:41she coldly said,
00:12:43Kevin has already left.
00:12:45Before he left,
00:12:46he asked me to give you a phone number.
00:12:48If you have anything to say,
00:12:50call him.
00:12:52Brother Kevin is gone?
00:12:54Harry's mouth was wide open.
00:12:56He could no longer be bothered by the incident with Nick
00:12:59and wanted to know why Kevin had suddenly left.
00:13:02He left last night.
00:13:04The phone number is at the front desk.
00:13:06After she finished speaking,
00:13:08she left the room without looking back.
00:13:11The Johnston siblings looked at each other in dismay.
00:13:15After a long while,
00:13:16Harry finally spoke up in confusion.
00:13:19Brother Kevin?
00:13:21Why did he leave without saying goodbye?
00:13:24Do you think he is afraid of implicating us?
00:13:27I don't know.
00:13:28Jennifer shook her head and sighed.
00:13:31Brother,
00:13:32you better think of a way to explain to Uncle,
00:13:34Grandfather and the others that you provoked Drake's family
00:13:37after you returned home.
00:13:39Hearing about the Parker family,
00:13:41Harry immediately felt a headache coming on.
00:13:44What can I say?
00:13:46I can only voluntarily reveal my identity
00:13:48as the successor to the Johnston family.
00:13:51When he was going up the mountain,
00:13:53he wanted to make a few friends
00:13:54and solve the problem of his family's debt.
00:13:57In the end,
00:13:58he made a friend,
00:13:59but not only was he unable to solve the debt problem,
00:14:02but he had also pushed the family further
00:14:05into a very difficult situation.
00:14:07However,
00:14:09Harry didn't regret it at all.
00:14:11Even if he had to do it again,
00:14:13he would still choose to be friends with Kevin
00:14:15over Drake
00:14:16every time.
00:14:18I'm afraid that even revealing your identity as our heir
00:14:22won't solve this problem.
00:14:24Jennifer sighed.
00:14:26If Harry had provoked only Drake Parker,
00:14:28this would be a different story.
00:14:30But Harry
00:14:32had also provoked Henry.
00:14:34Henry was the heir to the Goodson family
00:14:36from the wealthiest class
00:14:38with a net worth of more than five billion.
00:14:41His was not a family that the Johnstons
00:14:43could afford to provoke.
00:14:45If they provoked Henry,
00:14:46the higher-ups of their own families
00:14:48would be furious.
00:14:50Their anger was not something
00:14:51that a small figure like Harry could bear.
00:14:54Don't tell me that our family will kill me.
00:14:57Harry curled his lips into a rueful smile.
00:15:00Whether it was fighting or mockery,
00:15:02he didn't believe that his family
00:15:03would be able to do anything for him.
00:15:06Jennifer was a little speechless.
00:15:08Bro,
00:15:09do you think they don't dare to kill you?
00:15:12Our family would be merciful towards me
00:15:14if I kill you and earn forgiveness
00:15:16from the Goodsons for your provocation.
00:15:18It can't be that my sister, grandfather,
00:15:20and the others are that ruthless.
00:15:22Harry was shocked.
00:15:24What do you think?
00:15:26Jennifer rolled her eyes.
00:15:28Do you think that your life alone
00:15:29can compare to the lives of our entire family?
00:15:34EPISODE 223
00:15:37STAMPING ON DIGNITY
00:15:40Harry was silent.
00:15:42Although Jennifer's words were cruel,
00:15:44it was the truth.
00:15:46If they could use his life in exchange
00:15:48for the safety of all of his family members,
00:15:51then the upper echelons of his family
00:15:53would back the decision up.
00:15:55Well, my rotten life is gone,
00:15:58but so be it.
00:16:00I just implicated Brother Kevin.
00:16:02Harry sighed.
00:16:04When the bandits had robbed Kevin's outing
00:16:06on the way up the mountain,
00:16:08Kevin survived,
00:16:09and Harry brought him along
00:16:10to the top of the mountain.
00:16:12When they arrived at the hotel,
00:16:14Drake Parker, a narrow-minded man,
00:16:16saw Kevin and Jennifer together.
00:16:18There was no need to say anything more.
00:16:21Kevin slapped Drake's face
00:16:22and then offended Henry Goodson,
00:16:24causing a huge uproar.
00:16:26Harry's greatest regret
00:16:28was that he brought Kevin up the mountain
00:16:30the rest of the way.
00:16:32Brother,
00:16:33you still feel like you should care about him?
00:16:36You can't even protect yourself now,
00:16:38Jennifer glared at Harry in annoyance.
00:16:41She didn't know why Harry had such a big heart.
00:16:44He was almost about to lose his life,
00:16:46yet he was in the mood to care about other people.
00:16:50Little sister,
00:16:52look at what you're saying.
00:16:54What's wrong with me caring about Brother Kevin?
00:16:57If it weren't for me,
00:16:58Brother Kevin wouldn't have incurred
00:17:00the wrath of that dog Drake,
00:17:02and you wouldn't have offended Henry at all.
00:17:04Alright, alright.
00:17:06Bro,
00:17:07stop talking.
00:17:09It's not like I'm not letting you care about him,
00:17:12Jennifer impatiently interrupted Harry and said.
00:17:15Let's hurry up and go home.
00:17:17When we get home,
00:17:18if Grandpa and the rest of them
00:17:19ask about our crimes,
00:17:21don't take it all on yourself.
00:17:23Just tell them about what Drake and his gang did.
00:17:26Don't worry.
00:17:27I'm not stupid.
00:17:28I didn't say you were stupid.
00:17:30At that moment,
00:17:32the elder members were all present
00:17:33within the Johnston family's main hall.
00:17:36However,
00:17:37all of their faces were so gloomy
00:17:40that it seemed like they might cry at any moment,
00:17:43and the atmosphere was so heavy
00:17:45that it would suffocate anyone else who dared enter.
00:17:49The patriarch of the Johnston family,
00:17:51Marshal Johnston,
00:17:52sitting at the highest position,
00:17:54spoke out with a face full of anger.
00:17:57That little beast is still not back?
00:18:00Everyone in the hall below shuddered.
00:18:03Dad,
00:18:04Harry,
00:18:05he's still on the way.
00:18:07A well-built,
00:18:08little-aged man,
00:18:09whose figure was the same as Harry's,
00:18:11bitterly smiled as he looked at the old man.
00:18:14Still on the way?
00:18:16We might as well just let him die on the road.
00:18:19Why do we need him back here?
00:18:21Last night,
00:18:22when Marshal received the news,
00:18:24he was so angry that he almost wanted to bash up
00:18:27anyone who came in his way.
00:18:29He would never have thought that his grandson
00:18:32would simultaneously offend Drake Parker
00:18:35and Henry Goodson,
00:18:37the two richest young warriors,
00:18:39to side with the live-in son-in-law.
00:18:42Marshal couldn't understand
00:18:44why Harry would do such a stupid thing.
00:18:48For a mere live-in son-in-law
00:18:50to go against the great warriors
00:18:52of the Santa Barbara Goodson family?
00:18:54Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?
00:18:57At the bottom of the hall,
00:18:58a young man wearing a black suit
00:19:00clenched his teeth and spoke up.
00:19:03His name was Brock Johnston,
00:19:05Harry's cousin.
00:19:07Grandfather,
00:19:08President Parker from the Merchant Bank
00:19:10just called me again.
00:19:11He said,
00:19:12What did he say?
00:19:14President Parker said they would give us three more days.
00:19:17If we don't pay back that loan by then,
00:19:19they will go through the proceedings
00:19:21and auction off the restaurants east of our compound.
00:19:24What?
00:19:25We have to fight back.
00:19:27Make them give us more time.
00:19:29It's over.
00:19:30It's all over.
00:19:32If we get sued by the bank and court,
00:19:34our family name will be ruined.
00:19:36That's a 500 million dollar loan
00:19:39and our family is simply not prepared
00:19:41to repay that right now.
00:19:43That damnable Harry.
00:19:45It's not a good idea to offend anyone,
00:19:47especially someone with ties to the Parker family.
00:19:50President Parker is Drake Parker's uncle
00:19:53and will do anything to avenge his nephew right now.
00:19:56The well-built middle-aged man,
00:19:58who looked the same as Harry,
00:20:00sighed and said,
00:20:01Harry was indeed in the wrong in this matter.
00:20:04As a father,
00:20:05I have a lot of responsibilities.
00:20:07As for President Parker,
00:20:09I will discuss the matter with him.
00:20:11I will try to have him give us some more time.
00:20:13How many times are we going to go through this?
00:20:16Is it even useful?
00:20:18It's just a matter of whether we die now or later.
00:20:22Some people coldly snorted,
00:20:24feeling extremely dissatisfied.
00:20:26Right.
00:20:27It's nothing more than dying now or later.
00:20:30Moreover,
00:20:31that idiot Harry didn't just offend
00:20:33President Parker's family.
00:20:35That's right.
00:20:36He also angered the Goodsons.
00:20:38If he had only made the Parkers angry,
00:20:40he might still have a way out.
00:20:42But as it stands,
00:20:43offending the Parkers and the Goodsons,
00:20:45there is no possible way out of this.
00:20:47Damned fool.
00:20:49It doesn't matter if your son courts death,
00:20:51but don't let him drag the entire clan down with him.
00:20:54With so many relatives of his own family
00:20:57pointing fingers at him,
00:20:58Ramsay Johnston let out a helpless sigh.
00:21:01As matters stood,
00:21:03it was useless for him to say anything anymore.
00:21:06Harry had already angered the masses.
00:21:09Grandfather, I'm back.
00:21:11At that moment,
00:21:13Harry walked into the main entrance.
00:21:16You evil creature.
00:21:18You still have the nerve to come back?
00:21:21Marshall was furious.
00:21:23He picked up the teacup on the table
00:21:25and flung it towards Harry's face.
00:21:27Harry did not dodge
00:21:29and allowed the cup to hit his cheek.
00:21:31Hot tea splashed all over his face.
00:21:34Grandpa, I'm sorry.
00:21:37Harry lowered his head.
00:21:39Sorry?
00:21:40Just because you said you're sorry,
00:21:42you want to take away everything from this family?
00:21:45someone said in a weird voice.
00:21:47Kneel.
00:21:48Marshall roared in disappointment.
00:21:50Harry was quite diplomatic
00:21:52and directly kneeled on the ground.
00:21:54Grandfather, this matter is my fault.
00:21:57I will accept whatever punishment
00:21:59you have decided to give me.
00:22:01Harry drooped his head dejectedly,
00:22:03like an eggplant that had been beaten.
00:22:05Punishment?
00:22:07Do we not have to pay back the five hundred million
00:22:10Will the good sons leave us alone if we punish you?
00:22:15Marshall asked angrily.
00:22:17Harry was speechless.
00:22:19Indeed, Drake and Henry would not give up on fighting his family
00:22:23just because he was punished.
00:22:25From today onwards,
00:22:27the position of the Johnston family heir
00:22:29will be given to Brock.
00:22:31Do you have any objections to my decision?
00:22:34Marshall asked coldly.
00:22:36Harry looked at his cousin,
00:22:38who seemed shocked to receive such a fortune.
00:22:41No objections.
00:22:43Harry shook his head sadly.
00:22:45Although he had become the successor to the Johnston family,
00:22:48there was no excitement on Brock's face.
00:22:51It seemed as though the news pained him.
00:22:54After all,
00:22:56the current Johnston family was just a mess.
00:22:59Also, from tomorrow onwards,
00:23:01you will kneel in front of the Parker family gate,
00:23:04apologize to Drake Parker
00:23:06and ask for his forgiveness.
00:23:09If and when Drake forgives you,
00:23:12you can come home.
00:23:14Marshall spoke in a deep voice.
00:23:16Since Drake was the successor to the Parker family,
00:23:19if he forgave Harry,
00:23:21then his family would not go against Harry's.
00:23:24Harry gritted his teeth in a bit of humiliation.
00:23:27Then, to make him admit his wrongs to Drake,
00:23:30he placed his face on the ground
00:23:32and let Drake stomp on it.
00:23:34This was worse than making him eat shit.
00:23:37But he also understood that the Johnston family
00:23:40had already reached a state of life and death.
00:23:43And if he still could not put down his pride,
00:23:46then his entire family would be finished.
00:23:56Alright, I agree.
00:23:58Harry clenched his teeth.
00:24:00Jennifer...
00:24:02Marshall looked at Jennifer again.
00:24:04Grandfather, I'm here.
00:24:07As if she knew what Marshall would do,
00:24:09Jennifer stood up calmly.
00:24:11You should get married tomorrow,
00:24:13when you reach the Parker family.
00:24:15I don't agree.
00:24:17Before the elder could finish his words,
00:24:19he was interrupted by an anxious Harry.
00:24:22Grandpa, I don't agree with Jennifer marrying Drake.
00:24:26Harry looked around before continuing.
00:24:29Grandfather, you have the right to do what you want to me.
00:24:32I've offended the Parkers and the Goodsons,
00:24:34but they have nothing to do with Jennifer.
00:24:37What makes you think that you can decide
00:24:39Jennifer's fate today?
00:24:41Drake, worse than a pig or a dog,
00:24:43has been with seven or eight different women.
00:24:46It would be impossible for Jennifer to be happy
00:24:48if she married him.
00:24:50Happiness?
00:24:52Harry, do you still have the nerve
00:24:54to try to find happiness
00:24:56for yourself and your sister?
00:24:58After all this?
00:25:00That's right.
00:25:02You were the one who caused all this trouble.
00:25:04So it is only natural that you and your family
00:25:06should take responsibility.
00:25:08Besides, Jennifer will marry sooner or later,
00:25:11so what's the difference between marrying now
00:25:14and getting married later?
00:25:16That's right.
00:25:18We have to marry her sooner or later.
00:25:20Why don't we do it tomorrow and make Drake happy?
00:25:23So that way he can forgive our debts.
00:25:26All of the members of the Johnston family spoke at once,
00:25:29wishing for nothing more than to send Jennifer
00:25:31to marry Drake Parker.
00:25:33Do you even have any shame?
00:25:36Harry roared.
00:25:38He stood up and clenched his fists
00:25:40as he looked at his family members
00:25:42with bloodshot eyes.
00:25:44Jennifer is a girl.
00:25:46Brother.
00:25:47At this moment,
00:25:49Jennifer's soft voice interrupted Harry.
00:25:52Brother?
00:25:53You're right.
00:25:55I'll marry Drake sooner or later.
00:25:58What's the difference?
00:26:00The smile on Jennifer's face was a bit forced.
00:26:03Harry felt his heart bleeding in pain.
00:26:05Never had he regretted a moment so much.
00:26:08Originally,
00:26:10Jennifer didn't need to marry Drake,
00:26:12and their family had the chance to break away from this marriage.
00:26:15But now,
00:26:17because of his impulsiveness,
00:26:19avoiding it had become impossible.
00:26:22Jennifer.
00:26:24I'm sorry.
00:26:26Harry choked back his tears.
00:26:28Jennifer smiled.
00:26:30Brother,
00:26:31what nonsense are you talking about?
00:26:34Jennifer.
00:26:36I'm sorry too.
00:26:38Marshall sighed.
00:26:40How could he not know that Drake was greedy for money and sex?
00:26:43He was a typical poppin' J,
00:26:45but his anger would never subside if he did not marry Jennifer.
00:26:49Grandfather,
00:26:50there's nothing wrong.
00:26:52Jennifer nodded.
00:26:53After I marry into the Parker family,
00:26:55I will make Drake happy and let him let go of this debt.
00:26:58She already knew her fate when they were on the mountain.
00:27:02Harry couldn't handle the anger of the Parker family alone,
00:27:05so he needed his little sister to help.
00:27:08Marshall let out a long sigh.
00:27:12Inside the room,
00:27:14the atmosphere became a bit more somber.
00:27:17At this time,
00:27:19Brock could not help but open his mouth.
00:27:21Grandfather,
00:27:23I think that live-in son-in-law called Kevin
00:27:25is the main culprit behind this incident.
00:27:28I suggest that he go with Harry to the Parkers to apologize.
00:27:32Right.
00:27:33That Kevin is the culprit.
00:27:35We must not let him off.
00:27:37Let him kneel and kowtow to Drake together with Harry.
00:27:40When Drake forgives him,
00:27:42then let him go home.
00:27:44In their opinion,
00:27:46Kevin was even more guilty than Harry.
00:27:49They would not be in such a mess if it weren't for Kevin.
00:27:52Impossible.
00:27:53Don't even think about it.
00:27:55Harry was so angry that his ears were red.
00:27:58His relatives were getting more and more outrageous.
00:28:02Now they were even trying to involve Kevin.
00:28:04Don't even think about it?
00:28:07Harry, we don't need to think about it.
00:28:10That guy Kevin is just a live-in son-in-law.
00:28:13It would be his honor to get to kneel to Drake.
00:28:16At this point,
00:28:17he could only face the situation bravely.
00:28:20The group of troubled-faced Johnstons
00:28:22followed closely behind him.
00:28:25When he arrived at the door,
00:28:27he discovered that the person from the Goodson family
00:28:29was an older man with fair skin who wore a silk robe.
00:28:34The older man had a refined appearance,
00:28:36but his body emitted an imposing manner without anger.
00:28:40Someone in the family recognized him.
00:28:43It's the chief steward of the Goodson family,
00:28:45Elijah Goodson.
00:28:47Everyone in the Johnston family felt their hearts tremble.
00:28:52They never thought that the Goodson family
00:28:54would send such a great character
00:28:56to denounce them for their crimes.
00:28:58Mr. Goodson, I welcome you from afar.
00:29:02I hope your travels were smooth.
00:29:04Even though Marshall was worried,
00:29:06he didn't show it on his face.
00:29:08He welcomed Elijah with a smile.
00:29:11My old friend, you are too polite.
00:29:15Elijah cupped his hands with a kind smile on his face.
00:29:19There was no trace of anger in his manner at all.
00:29:22Everyone in the room looked at each other.
00:29:25Elijah's attitude didn't seem like
00:29:27he would denounce them for their crimes.
00:29:30Brother Marshall, where is your eldest grandson?
00:29:34Before Elijah arrived,
00:29:36he had already heard from Harry
00:29:38that he was Marshall's eldest grandson.
00:29:40The successor to the Johnston family.
00:29:43Seeing Elijah getting straight to the point,
00:29:46Marshall's heart sank as he forced a smile on his face.
00:29:50Mr. Goodson, that evil creature is right behind me.
00:29:55Evil creature?
00:29:57Elijah was slightly surprised and shifted his gaze to Harry.
00:30:01As he was about to speak,
00:30:03he heard Marshall's angry roar.
00:30:05Evil creature!
00:30:07Kneel!
00:30:09Kneel?
00:30:10Elijah was shocked.
00:30:12Before he could react to Marshall's words,
00:30:14he saw Harry standing before him,
00:30:16clenching his teeth,
00:30:18and kneeling on the ground.
00:30:28Elijah's face turned pale with fright.
00:30:31He hurriedly helped him up.
00:30:33Oh, please. Harry, we can't do this.
00:30:36We can't do this. Get up quickly.
00:30:38Huh?
00:30:39Harry's family was stunned.
00:30:41Their mouths so wide open
00:30:43that two eggs could be stuffed inside without breaking.
00:30:47Why did he say that Harry shouldn't kneel?
00:30:50Harry was also dumbfounded.
00:30:52Was the older man in front of him really from the Goodson family?
00:30:56Although puzzled,
00:30:58he did not dare to get up because Marshall had yet to say anything.
00:31:01Harry, get up now.
00:31:04Marshall finally spoke in a low voice
00:31:06once he could see that Elijah's attitude was sincere.
00:31:09It was quite possible that he had not come to Harry to find fault.
00:31:13Yes, Grandfather, Harry answered,
00:31:16and then stood up.
00:31:18Only then did Elijah heave a sigh of relief.
00:31:21He knew that Henry wanted him to be very polite to Harry,
00:31:25but when he came over,
00:31:27Harry kneeled in front of him and almost ruined his plan.
00:31:30After pondering for a while,
00:31:32Elijah slowly spoke up.
00:31:35Mr. Johnson,
00:31:37my young master Henry asked me to come.
00:31:40If you are going to punish me,
00:31:42do it already.
00:31:44I was the one who caused the trouble,
00:31:46and it has nothing to do with my family,
00:31:48Harry said in a low voice.
00:31:50He was willing to take all the responsibility.
00:31:54Elijah shook his head lightly,
00:31:56smiled, and said,
00:31:58Oh no, you misunderstand.
00:32:00I have no intention of offending any of you at this time.
00:32:04Harry's relatives were confused.
00:32:07They didn't understand why Elijah was here if not to start trouble.
00:32:12Then, why are you here?
00:32:15Harry glanced at Elijah doubtfully.
00:32:18It's like this.
00:32:20Henry had a small conflict with you and Mr. Bennet when he was on the mountain.
00:32:25After that,
00:32:26Henry felt very apologetic and said he was too reckless with his actions.
00:32:30So he sent me here today to bring his words of apology to Mr. Johnston here.
00:32:35Elijah slightly bowed.
00:32:37He was completely sincere.
00:32:40The family members were like statues.
00:32:42All of them were petrified.
00:32:45Did he come to apologize?
00:32:48The great Henry Goodson wanted to apologize to Harry?
00:32:52How is this possible?
00:32:54Everyone felt as if they were living in a dream.
00:32:57Elijah shook his head.
00:32:59He already knew that no matter how sincere his words were,
00:33:03no one would believe him.
00:33:05Fortunately, Henry had prepared a generous gift.
00:33:09Elijah waved his hand,
00:33:11and a bunch of bodyguards in black suits with earpieces filed in.
00:33:15Everyone in Harry's family was shocked and subconsciously took a step back.
00:33:20Then, they realized that the bodyguards held a silver safe in their hands.
00:33:27Plunk, plunk.
00:33:29One by one, the safes were placed on the ground.
00:33:33After entering the lock codes, the boxes were opened.
00:33:37Wow!
00:33:39A large stack of $20 bills was lying quietly in the safe,
00:33:43and a gold bar sat sparkling in the sunlight.
00:33:47There were nearly a hundred identical lockers neatly arranged together,
00:33:52emitting a golden glow simultaneously.
00:33:55It was dazzling, yet at the same time, shocking.
00:34:00Everyone in the room was stunned on the spot,
00:34:03and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
00:34:06Wow!
00:34:08It was too shocking.
00:34:10They could not think of any words to describe the scene before their eyes.
00:34:14The astonishing amount of money had practically piled up into a mountain.
00:34:19No one in the Johnston family had ever seen such a scene before.
00:34:24They had also never seen so much money in one place before.
00:34:28Hmm?
00:34:30Only after a long time did someone's throat move.
00:34:35They swallowed a mouthful of saliva and broke the silence.
00:34:39At his age, Marshall, who had seen a lot of scenes,
00:34:43felt his throat go dry and could not help but open his mouth.
00:34:48Mr. Goodson, you...
00:34:51What does this mean?
00:34:53It's an apology, Elijah smiled slightly.
00:34:57Although he appeared to have the upper hand, his heart was racing.
00:35:02He did not know what kind of background Kevin, whom Henry had offended, came from,
00:35:08that had scared Henry so badly.
00:35:11He had prepared so many apologies.
00:35:15Compensation?
00:35:17Apologies?
00:35:19Many of Harry's relatives were speechless.
00:35:22The amount of money in front of them must be in the millions.
00:35:26The countless dollars in apology money earned Harry a little bit of respect.
00:35:31How did he receive something like this from such a powerful family?
00:35:36Yes, an apology in the form of compensation, Elijah nodded and said.
00:35:42It is worth five hundred million.
00:35:45Five hundred million?
00:35:48The entire audience cried out in astonishment,
00:35:51and a few cowardly people were so shocked that they fell to their butts on the ground,
00:35:56unable to stand steadily.
00:35:59Even though they knew there was a lot of money,
00:36:02they still hadn't expected it to be five hundred million.
00:36:07How would it feel to have five hundred million in cash in front of you?
00:36:11Plus, the price of gold was going up.
00:36:14This would quickly become worth even more than five hundred million.
00:36:19Everyone in Harry's family was shocked and speechless.
00:36:24At this time, Elijah smiled and spoke again.
00:36:28That is not all.
00:36:30And this was not all?
00:36:32The eyes of everyone in the room narrowed,
00:36:35and they held their collective breath.
00:36:38Could it be that Elijah had brought more money?
00:36:43Didn't you still owe that Parker's bank five hundred million?
00:36:47Henry has also agreed to repay those five hundred million for you, Elijah smiled.
00:36:53One billion in all?
00:36:56This was all just Henry trying to show sincerity this time?
00:37:00In other words, it was just an apology ceremony?
00:37:04Even for a rich family like the Goodsons,
00:37:07taking out one billion in cash flow at once wasn't an easy task.
00:37:12But when Henry returned home,
00:37:14he had demanded it as though his life depended on it.
00:37:18He said someone would annihilate the entire family if he didn't give them the money,
00:37:23so his father couldn't help but believe it.
00:37:26Of course, in the end,
00:37:28Neil Goodson made up his mind because of Henry's words.
00:37:32Harmon was killed by someone who used only a leaf.
00:37:37These words caused Neil almost to be unable to stand steadily on his feet,
00:37:43and he used his family to take five hundred million from Santa Barbara's large and small banks
00:37:49and send it to the Johnstons.
00:37:52Elijah didn't know much about the world of warriors,
00:37:55but he knew Carmen was much stronger than Henry's father.
00:37:59If the opponent could kill Carmen with one leaf,
00:38:02he can use a single leaf to kill Neil.
00:38:05Mr. Goodson, can you tell me the real reason you're here?
00:38:10Marshall's voice was hoarse.
00:38:12These words of Elijah's had set off a monstrous wave in his heart,
00:38:17striking him until his mind was a little unsteady.
00:38:21Now, he wanted to know why the Goodson family would do such a thing.
00:38:26Without a doubt, it wasn't because of Henry.
00:38:30Marshall knew better than anyone else that his grandson's only advantages
00:38:34were that he was honest, loyal, and kind.
00:38:38He did not have any ill intentions, but sometimes he was a bit impulsive,
00:38:44or else he would not have done something like offending one of the three wealthiest families in Santa Barbara
00:38:49for the sake of a live-in son-in-law.
00:38:53But now, Elijah had told him to apologize to his grandson.
00:38:58The Goodsons had taken out one billion dollars.
00:39:01This was not just a pie falling from the sky, but a gold nugget.
00:39:06The real reason?
00:39:08Elijah smiled meaningfully and shifted his gaze to Harry.
00:39:12Maybe your grandson knows.
00:39:15Elijah's words also woke Harry up from his dazed state.
00:39:19Harry swallowed his saliva by seeing Marshall looking at him.
00:39:23It's Brother Kevin, isn't it?
00:39:26Brother Kevin?
00:39:28Everyone in Harry's family looked at each other.
00:39:31Was this guy saying that this was about that live-in son-in-law?
00:39:42Elijah didn't say anything, but the deep meaning in his eyes revealed everything.
00:39:49He knew it.
00:39:51Brother Kevin is not just a lowly live-in son-in-law, Harry muttered to himself.
00:39:57His expression was extremely complicated, excited, lost, and bitter.
00:40:04When he said that his family was in danger and needed five hundred million, Kevin said he could help.
00:40:10But he did not believe him and felt that Kevin was trying to seem like he had resources.
00:40:16To force the Goodson family to take out one billion to apologize?
00:40:20He must have five hundred million of his own, right?
00:40:23And Kevin's calm and confident attitude when facing Drake and Henry?
00:40:27As if they were as small and dismissible as ants?
00:40:31Harry had thought it through.
00:40:33Now?
00:40:34He understood everything.
00:40:36Kevin went down the mountain without a word.
00:40:39It wasn't because he ran away, but because he had taken care of everything for Harry before coming down the mountain.
00:40:46Harry was very touched.
00:40:48But besides being touched, his heart was unavoidably heavy.
00:40:53He owed Kevin too much, and life wasn't something that could just be repaid.
00:40:58Harry's complex expression instantly verified everyone's guesses about what had happened.
00:41:04It was that live-in son-in-law Kevin who had come to their rescue.
00:41:09Everyone stared jealous daggers at Harry.
00:41:12They could not believe the kind of insane luck Harry had been blessed with.
00:41:17However, they knew that Kevin must be a rich man.
00:41:21A true benefactor.
00:41:23He was someone who could make the Santa Barbara Goodson family humble and submissive and offer a hundred million as an apology.
00:41:32Although that rich man's status was only a live-in son-in-law, it wasn't important.
00:41:39The most important thing was that the opposite party had tremendous power.
00:41:44With just a single word, the Johnstons would be able to turn their family into a first-tier family in Sacramento.
00:41:52The people from Harry's family were all excited, and they had never felt that the Harry in front of them was so pleasing to the eye.
00:42:01Brother Harry, you can't talk too much about Mr. Bennett to the outside world, said Elijah.
00:42:08Besides him, only the people in our family should know about the one billion.
00:42:14Kevin's news had already been treated as the highest secret in the Goodson family.
00:42:20He naturally would not wish for it to leak out here in the Johnston family.
00:42:25Elijah, don't worry.
00:42:27I will keep their mouths shut.
00:42:29Marshall's gaze turned serious as he spoke in a deep tone, gazing at the rest of his family.
00:42:36Well then, this old man will take his leave.
00:42:40Elijah smiled and turned around to leave.
00:42:43The people from Harry's family were stunned.
00:42:46Only when Elijah had gone far away did they turn their attention to the five hundred million sitting in the middle of their floor.
00:42:55How should they divide it?
00:42:57Without a doubt, this question was placed in front of everyone.
00:43:02The Goodson family had already paid off the bank's five hundred million dollar loan for the Johnston family.
00:43:08So the five hundred million before them was just extra spending money.
00:43:13Five hundred million.
00:43:15It was unbelievable.
00:43:17In the next few days, they would probably count the money every day and get a headache each time.
00:43:23Just as Harry's relatives were thinking about how to split the five hundred million between themselves,
00:43:28Harry stood up and spoke sternly.
00:43:31This five hundred million.
00:43:33Do not touch a single cent.
00:43:36Harry looked at everyone with cold eyes.
00:43:39What?
00:43:40He repeated himself.
00:43:42None of you will get a single penny.
00:43:46Harry, what do you mean?
00:43:48You plan to keep it for yourself?
00:43:50Harry, can't you have a bit of sympathy?
00:43:52This five hundred million was given to our entire family.
00:43:56Not just you alone.
00:43:58What right do you have to take it all for yourself?
00:44:03That's right.
00:44:04We need to split it evenly between everyone.
00:44:07The rest of the relatives in Harry's family were furious,
00:44:11revealing ugly expressions as if they were going to take it by force.
00:44:15Harry sneered and ignored everyone else.
00:44:19Instead, he turned his gaze to Marshall.
00:44:24Grandpa, what do you think?
00:44:27He naturally wanted Harry to hand over the five hundred million to the family,
00:44:31but he did not have the nerve to say it out loud.
00:44:34Harry had already solved the biggest problem for the family by paying back their debt to the Parkers.
00:44:40If he continued to bother Harry for the extra five hundred million,
00:44:44that would be too much.
00:44:47This five hundred million?
00:44:49You will have to decide for yourself.
00:44:52After hesitating for a while, Marshall forced himself to be fair.
00:44:56Right now, he didn't dare to offend Harry.
00:45:00In reality, he didn't dare to offend the live-in son-in-law who was backing Harry.
00:45:06Kevin's power was too great, to the point where even the Goodson family,
00:45:10one of the wealthiest in Santa Barbara, had to lower their voice to the Johnston family.
00:45:16Without this five hundred million, they could still earn money,
00:45:20but with that kind of backing, they would never have to worry about finding money again.
00:45:25Grandfather, am I wrong?
00:45:28This five hundred million was given to the whole family, not just Harry.
00:45:32That's right. If we can't split it evenly,
00:45:35we can let Harry take out two hundred million for himself,
00:45:38and split the remaining three hundred million between us.
00:45:41The faces of everyone in the room were flushed red under the temptation of hundreds of millions of dollars,
00:45:48and no one could stay calm.
00:45:50All of you, shut up!
00:45:53Marshall was beyond furious.
00:45:55He slammed his fist on the table, and the teacups began to rattle.
00:46:00I'll say it one last time.
00:46:02Harry will completely control the five hundred million dollars here.
00:46:07If anyone has any objections, get out of our family now.
00:46:12The older man unleashed his power, causing everyone in his family speechless.
00:46:18However, their eyes were filled with hatred when they looked at Harry.
00:46:23Harry was fearless in the face of everyone's resentful and venomous gazes.
00:46:28Do you think I'll take this five hundred million for myself?
00:46:32Harry sneered.
00:46:33If that's not your plan, then what is?
00:46:36Someone asked loudly.
00:46:38Idiot!
00:46:39Harry snorted and said.
00:46:41I won't take any of the five hundred million.
00:46:44What?
00:46:45Everyone in the family was shocked.
00:46:48What did he mean by saying he would not take a single cent?
00:46:52I will return this five hundred million to brother Kevin.
00:46:55He already owed a lot to Kevin.
00:46:58When Kevin was on the mountain, he saved Jennifer's life,
00:47:02and after coming down the mountain, he helped him solve the problem of Drake and Henry.
00:47:07He also got the Goodsons to pay off the loan of five hundred million dollars.
00:47:12These things alone made it impossible for him to repay his friend,
00:47:16even if he worked for him like an ox or a horse.
00:47:19Then, add in this five hundred million in cash.
00:47:23Harry was not a greedy man,
00:47:25but of course, he wanted the five hundred million, and anyone would.
00:47:29However, he valued the relationship with Kevin more.
00:47:33You're returning it to that live-in son-in-law?
00:47:36The people from his family were all shocked by Harry's words.
00:47:40No one knew exactly what to say.
00:47:43Is Harry crazy?
00:47:45That's five hundred million.
00:47:47It wasn't fifty thousand, nor was it fifty million.
00:47:51It was five hundred million.
00:47:54He gave it to you for free, but you said you don't want it?
00:47:58You want to return it to him?
00:48:00Marshall was also astonished.
00:48:03He did not expect Harry to make such a decision.
00:48:06Five hundred million?
00:48:08He gave it away without even furrowing his brows?
00:48:11Harry, you don't have a fever.
00:48:14That's five hundred million.
00:48:16Brother Kevin has already helped our family repay the five hundred million loan,
00:48:21Harry said coldly.
00:48:23But this money isn't even Kevin's.
00:48:26It's a gift from the Goodson family.
00:48:28Besides, that brother Kevin of yours, with his abilities,
00:48:32definitely won't miss this amount of cash.
00:48:35The people from Harry's family were still unwilling to give up,
00:48:39and still wanted to persuade him.
00:48:48Whether brother Kevin lacks five hundred million is his problem.
00:48:52But if I don't return this to him, it is my conscience's problem, Harry sneered.
00:48:59The group of people in front of him had truly embodied the word greedy to the fullest.
00:49:05When he had arrived only a few hours earlier,
00:49:08these people had wanted nothing more than to skin Kevin alive
00:49:12and send them both to the Parker family to apologize.
00:49:16However, they immediately changed their expressions when they found out that Kevin was an ordinary.
00:49:23Stop talking!
00:49:25At this moment, Marshall shouted.
00:49:28This matter is well decided by Harry.
00:49:32I support his decision.
00:49:34I and all of my family members will not be greedy.
00:49:39When we should take, we will take what we need.
00:49:42We will not take more than we need.
00:49:45When someone gives us something we should not take,
00:49:48we will not take it.
00:49:50No one dared to question Marshall's words.
00:49:53However, they all felt that Harry was a pig brain.
00:49:57They couldn't believe he said he would pay back the five hundred million dollars in cash.
00:50:02That was simply insane.
00:50:04Only Marshall looked at Harry with a gratified expression.
00:50:09In the beginning,
00:50:10he did not understand how Harry became friends with such an important figure as Kevin.
00:50:15Now, he understood.
00:50:18It was all based on his innocence and character.
00:50:22A single good trait, a heart of innocence, was worth ten thousand gold coins.
00:50:29Harry, your brother Kevin, what is his true identity?
00:50:34Seeing that she would get no money,
00:50:37Harry's second aunt, Miriam, turned her attention to other topics.
00:50:42Harry frowned.
00:50:44I don't know.
00:50:47He indeed didn't know Kevin's true identity.
00:50:50Of course, he wouldn't ask.
00:50:53If possible, he didn't want the relationship between him and Kevin to deteriorate.
00:50:58You don't know?
00:50:59Miriam was stunned.
00:51:01How can you not know?
00:51:03This is an extraordinary situation that he has orchestrated.
00:51:06Harry, you have to find out which family he is from.
00:51:10Aunt Miriam, does brother Kevin's identity as a young man have anything to do with you?
00:51:16Amongst all the people in Harry's family, Aunt Miriam was the most snobbish.
00:51:22Harry, what are you saying?
00:51:24Miriam was at a loss.
00:51:26Tell me now, which family is Kevin from?
00:51:29How could it possibly have nothing to do with me?
00:51:32She continued.
00:51:33Since he helped us with our debt, then he's the benefactor of our family.
00:51:38The benefactor of our family is my benefactor, so how could I have nothing to do with it?
00:51:44Harry sneered.
00:51:46Miriam had finally let him witness what it meant to have a face thicker than a city wall.
00:51:52She and Kevin were two characters completely unrelated to each other,
00:51:57yet she could forcefully pull them together with misconstrued logic.
00:52:02Auntie, don't think that I don't know what you're doing.
00:52:06Brother Kevin is my friend, and you are my aunt.
00:52:09There is no relationship between you, so you can forget about linking brother Kevin to our family.
00:52:15Harry looked at Miriam coldly, and after he finished speaking,
00:52:20he left the hall without turning back to see the crowd's reaction.
00:52:24Ugh, you.
00:52:26Miriam stomped her feet in anger.
00:52:29This boy that didn't know good from bad thought of himself as an important character.
00:52:34She was so concerned about Kevin's identity because of her selfishness.
00:52:39According to the information she had gathered, Kevin was very unpopular within the Wright family,
00:52:45so almost anyone within that family could mock and ridicule him.
00:52:50Although, she didn't understand why Kevin had to be so patient.
00:52:55She felt that sooner or later, Kevin would leave the Wright family.
00:52:59At that time, there was a high chance that Kevin would be single again.
00:53:03Once Kevin was single, there would be hope for the unmarried girls within the Johnston family,
00:53:08especially her daughters, who were all waiting to be married.
00:53:13If there was one that Kevin took a fancy to, and she became Kevin's wife,
00:53:17then Miriam's family would probably very quickly become one of the first raped families in Sacramento.
00:53:23And maybe the richest of them all.
00:53:27At that time, she, Miriam, would also become a great contributor to the Johnston family
00:53:33and would be able to lift her face and feel proud.
00:53:37Even though she knew the chances of success were slim, she wanted to try it.
00:53:43At that moment, Kevin had already returned to Beverly Hills.
00:53:47This time, when he went up the mountain, he brought his cell phone and charger.
00:53:52Kevin turned on his phone the moment he plugged it in.
00:53:55He saw seven or eight missed calls.
00:53:58Several of them were from the same person, and the caller ID showed an unknown number.
00:54:03There were three more calls from Claire.
00:54:06Kevin naturally called her back immediately.
00:54:09Claire, where are you?
00:54:11Kevin, dad's gone.
00:54:14Before Kevin could finish his words, he was interrupted.
00:54:18Your dad's gone?
00:54:19Kevin's heart sank.
00:54:21Alan was perfectly fine last time Kevin saw him.
00:54:24Why did he disappear?
00:54:26This afternoon, the hospital's nurse called me and told me my dad had disappeared.
00:54:31The nurses said that the person who took dad away seemed to be someone from the Evans family?
00:54:36Claire's voice sounded like she had been crying.
00:54:40Recently, she had been flustered by the matters of her family,
00:54:44so she neglected her father's concern.
00:54:47She had never been to the hospital to visit him at all.
00:54:50The Evans family?
00:54:52They were dangerous.
00:54:54Kevin was shocked and angry at the same time.
00:54:58He never thought they would use such a despicable method to threaten him and Claire through her father, Alan.
00:55:05Claire, where are you now?
00:55:07I'll be there right away.
00:55:09The family who kidnapped Claire's father was related to Nick Hallen, but this wasn't her doing.
00:55:15Her two elder brothers were bad news, and when they decided to hurt someone,
00:55:20they were even more daring than Nick was.
00:55:23That was why Nick started using her mother's maiden name, Hallen.
00:55:27She didn't want to be associated with such evil men.
00:55:31Kevin worried they would hurt Alan if he didn't get there in time.
00:55:35I'm currently on my way to the Evans house, Claire said.
00:55:38All right, don't be in such a hurry.
00:55:41I'll be right there, Kevin said in a deep voice.
00:55:45After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
00:55:48When he reached the garage, he got into his car, stepped on the gas, and drove away.
00:55:53When he arrived, many people were already gathered at the Evans family home.
00:55:58There were servants, bodyguards, and the families of Robert Weir and Zack Palmera.
00:56:04The two of them had accompanied the Evans' butler, Miles, to the banquet.
00:56:09But after the banquet, they had also disappeared without a trace.
00:56:13Thus, when the two families heard there was a way to find them,
00:56:17they came to Miles and the Evans family.
00:56:20Miles, do you think that trash will show up?
00:56:23One of the Weirs asked.
00:56:25Claire's cousin, Jack, initially said that the disappearance of Robert and Zack
00:56:29had nothing to do with the Wright family.
00:56:32He said Kevin was the one who did it.
00:56:35They naturally did not believe it, but later on,
00:56:38when they saw Jack kneel in front of them, swearing a poison oath,
00:56:42they believed it.
00:56:44That trash Kevin.
00:56:46It was possible that he did use the Wright family as a scapegoat.
00:56:50So they listened to Jack's suggestion,
00:56:52took Claire as a bargaining chip,
00:56:54threatened Kevin,
00:56:55and waited for Kevin to show up.
00:56:58But Zack's family felt that Kevin might not dare to appear.
00:57:02After all, he had offended the Evans family this time.
00:57:06And also the Weir and the Palmera families?
00:57:11Kevin could never compete with a first-tier family
00:57:14and two second-tier families.
00:57:23Don't worry, he will appear.
00:57:26If he doesn't, then I will kill this old fogey.
00:57:29Miles Robinson was the main butler of the Evans family,
00:57:34and he had always represented them to the public.
00:57:37The matters of the family, whether good or bad,
00:57:41were all handled by Miles.
00:57:43The matter regarding the Beverly Hills project was also handed over to him.
00:57:48In his opinion, if the Wright family were sensible,
00:57:51they would let him handle the construction for the Beverly Hills project without protest.
00:57:56Unexpectedly, the Wright family had become smarter,
00:58:01but their lowly, live-in son-in-law,
00:58:04who was even worse off than dogs in the eyes of the Wrights,
00:58:07was still treating him with disrespect.
00:58:11They had underestimated Miles Robinson.
00:58:15They didn't have the Evans family on their radar at all.
00:58:19How could Otis Evans, Nick's brother, not be offended?
00:58:25I hope this trash can be sensible, Otis growled.
00:58:29At first, when he heard the news,
00:58:32he didn't believe a live-in son-in-law would do something like kidnapping someone.
00:58:37But later, after listening to the Wright family's story,
00:58:42he had to believe that Kevin was a daring man,
00:58:45not just someone to dismiss.
00:58:48He even dared to mention the matter of creating another Wright family.
00:58:53However, this time, what he had to face was not a small family.
00:59:00Just wait another ten minutes, and if he still doesn't show up,
00:59:05then break one of this old thing's legs.
00:59:08Otis glanced at Alan, hanging on the tree as he spoke.
00:59:12Yes, Mr. Evans, the bodyguards nodded respectfully.
00:59:17At this moment, Alan Wright looked quite miserable.
00:59:22He was only wearing a thin hospital gown when he was kidnapped from the hospital.
00:59:27His injury had not yet healed.
00:59:30After hanging on the tree for over half an hour, the wound naturally split open.
00:59:35Therefore, a lot of blood was already seeping out of his white gown.
00:59:41His lips were pale, and his eyes looked weak.
00:59:46Alan could not accept that under the tree,
00:59:49the Evans family's servants were pointing at and mocking him.
00:59:54After all, he was old and should have been living a happy life at home.
00:59:58Yet now, he was being humiliated and played around like a monkey.
01:00:04From the conversation between Otis and Zap,
01:00:07it was not hard to figure out that he was brought here because of Kevin.
01:00:11Now that confused Alan.
01:00:14What had happened in the days when he was unconscious?
01:00:17Why had his lowly son-in-law, who only knew how to cook,
01:00:22been so bold as to kidnap people from the Evans family?
01:00:27Ten minutes had passed, and there still weren't any signs of visitors at the gate.
01:00:32Otis laughed sinisterly, picked up a steel pipe,
01:00:37and swung it heavily into Alan's leg.
01:00:41Crack!
01:00:43The crisp sound of a bone breaking was heard.
01:00:46Alan groaned as his face turned pale in an instant.
01:00:51When he was a soldier in his early days,
01:00:53his right leg had already suffered serious injuries,
01:00:57and he could not walk quickly.
01:00:59This time, it was probably broken again by Otis.
01:01:04Old thing, you're quite stubborn.
01:01:08He was still surprised by Alan's reaction.
01:01:11Alan had not said a word since he had been brought in,
01:01:14asking them why they brought him here or begging for forgiveness.
01:01:18It was as if Alan had already resigned himself to both life and death.
01:01:24Mr. Evans, why do you have to lower yourself to injure nobody like me?
01:01:30Alan knew that being brought before this family meant that he would likely die.
01:01:36If not, he would at least lose a layer of skin.
01:01:40He was very clear on the strength of this family,
01:01:43and it wasn't something his family could stand up against at all,
01:01:46even if they could resist.
01:01:48The Wrights wouldn't offend a colossus like the Evanses
01:01:51just for an old cripple like him.
01:01:54Old thing, if that trash son-in-law of yours didn't have a death wish,
01:02:00do you think I would lower myself to your level?
01:02:03Otis sneered.
01:02:05His original intention was to find Kevin and interrogate him immediately,
01:02:10but in the past two days,
01:02:13the guy seemed to have vanished from the face of the Earth,
01:02:16and not a trace could be found.
01:02:18Claire was also difficult to find,
01:02:21so we could only focus on the disabled Alan.
01:02:24Mr. Evans, I am very clear about that son-in-law of mine.
01:02:29He's just a delivery boy.
01:02:31He wouldn't do anything other than delivering food.
01:02:35He can't kidnap anyone, and he doesn't have the guts to do it.
01:02:39You must have been fooled by someone, right?
01:02:42Alan sighed.
01:02:44He did not think Kevin would do something like this.
01:02:47In these past three years with the Wright family,
01:02:50he had always observed Kevin's performance,
01:02:53but other than being a little useless,
01:02:56he did not have any other shortcomings.
01:02:59As a man, he should keep to his rules.
01:03:02He did not believe that Kevin would kidnap another person,
01:03:05and Alan thought it was more likely that someone in his own family was framing Kevin.
01:03:10Was I fooled by someone?
01:03:13I know in my heart that it's true,
01:03:16Otis snorted and said.
01:03:18What's more, if that useless son-in-law of yours is innocent,
01:03:23then why would he hide?
01:03:25Why doesn't he come here and explain everything in front of me?
01:03:30Alan sighed and said no more.
01:03:33Otis had already decided that it was Kevin's doing,
01:03:37so there was nothing he could do to change his mind.
01:03:40At that moment, a blue taxi stopped in front of the gate,
01:03:45and Claire hurriedly got out of the back seat.
01:03:48Dad?
01:03:49Claire's eyes immediately turned red when she saw Alan,
01:03:53who was miserably hung on a tree.
01:03:56Claire, why are you here?
01:03:59Why was it not Kevin but Claire?
01:04:02Could it be that Kevin did this,
01:04:04and he did not have the guts to come face him?
01:04:07Claire didn't answer Alan,
01:04:09but her beautiful eyes opened wide in anger.
01:04:12She looked at Otis and yelled,
01:04:15Let go of my dad!
01:04:17Let go of your father?
01:04:19Otis looked at Claire with interest.
01:04:22A lustful look flashed across his eyes.
01:04:25Before, he had only heard Claire's name and had never seen Claire in person.
01:04:30Now that he saw her today,
01:04:32he could tell that her reputation as beauty was well deserved.
01:04:37She was truly a great beauty.
01:04:39Even her angry look was enchanting.
01:04:42Otis licked his lips and said,
01:04:45Miss Wright, if you want me to let him go,
01:04:49then I will let him go.
01:04:51But wait, wouldn't I lose a lot of my reputation?
01:04:56Otis, I can give you anything you want,
01:04:59including the engineering contract for Beverly Hills,
01:05:02as long as you let go of my dad.
01:05:04Alan's body was already weak to begin with,
01:05:08and now that he was hung on a tree,
01:05:10it was unknown how long he could last.
01:05:13If he were hung up for too long,
01:05:15the damage would cause Claire to regret it for the rest of her life.
01:05:19The contract for Beverly Hills?
01:05:21Otis smirked and said,
01:05:23Miss Wright, the Beverly Hills project was originally mine.
01:05:28Then what do you want?
01:05:30Claire asked anxiously.
01:05:32I want...
01:05:34Otis paused for a moment.
01:05:36He stared at Claire, imagining her naked,
01:05:40and said,
01:05:41I want you to sleep with me.
01:05:44Claire gnashed her teeth in anger,
01:05:46but she took a deep breath and said,
01:05:49Otis, I'm already married.
01:05:52I'm married with a husband.
01:05:54A married woman?
01:05:56Before Claire could finish her sentence,
01:05:58she was interrupted by Otis.
01:06:01Miss Wright,
01:06:02no piece of trash can be used as a husband.
01:06:06I believe Kevin of yours is not worthy of being your husband.
01:06:11Your father is in trouble,
01:06:13but as a man,
01:06:15as your husband,
01:06:17he didn't show up,
01:06:18and instead allowed a woman to stand in front of me.
01:06:22What kind of husband is this trash?
01:06:25Otis sneered.
01:06:29Episode 229 Pack of Criminals
01:06:34Claire's pretty face turned cold.
01:06:37Otis, Kevin is fit to be my husband.
01:06:40I have the final say.
01:06:41It doesn't matter what you think.
01:06:44Besides, he'll be here soon.
01:06:47When he arrives,
01:06:48you'll know whether he's fit to be my husband or not.
01:06:52So you're going to reject me?
01:06:54Otis's face sank.
01:06:56He had already given Claire enough of a chance.
01:06:59If Claire still didn't behave herself,
01:07:02then she couldn't blame him for being rude.
01:07:05So what if I am?
01:07:07Claire faced Otis and refused to back down.
01:07:11Otis smiled and clapped slowly.
01:07:14Miss Wright,
01:07:16should I say you are fearless or ignorant?
01:07:20Do you know where you are now?
01:07:23The Evans home.
01:07:25You are in my household.
01:07:27Would you believe that until I say so,
01:07:30you won't be able to leave this place today?
01:07:33Moreover, no one is coming to save you,
01:07:36especially not your precious Kevin.
01:07:40Claire's expression changed slightly as she said coldly.
01:07:45Otis, let me warn you.
01:07:48Don't mess around for too long.
01:07:51Before I left to come here,
01:07:53I had already called the police.
01:07:56They will storm the place if you don't let us go within half an hour.
01:08:01The police?
01:08:04Otis laughed and then suddenly retracted his smile.
01:08:08Am I, Otis, afraid of the police?
01:08:12What could they possibly do to me?
01:08:15Claire, to tell you the truth,
01:08:18even if I loaned those policemen some guts,
01:08:21they still wouldn't dare to search my family home.
01:08:25So if you knew what's good for you,
01:08:27take off your clothes and sleep with me.
01:08:31Then, if you serve me well and I'm happy,
01:08:35maybe I can let this old man go.
01:08:39Otis's tone was arrogant and full of confidence.
01:08:43I would never even think about it.
01:08:46Claire gritted her teeth, clearly quite angry.
01:08:50Wouldn't even think about it?
01:08:52Otis sneered.
01:08:54I'm going to make you think about it today.
01:08:57Someone, take off this bitch's clothes
01:09:01and take a few nude photos and send them to her trash husband.
01:09:05Otis waved his hand with an evil smile.
01:09:08He wanted to see how long Kevin could keep his head down.
01:09:12Otis Evans, roared Alan suddenly.
01:09:16If you dare touch my daughter,
01:09:19I will kill your entire family.
01:09:23The threatening look in the man's eyes
01:09:26showed his heart was breaking as well.
01:09:29It could be said that he had destroyed
01:09:31both Alan and Claire at the same time.
01:09:35Old thing, did I ask you to speak?
01:09:39Otis's expression suddenly turned cold.
01:09:44Break that old man's other leg.
01:09:47Yes, Mr. Evans.
01:09:49As soon as Otis finished his words,
01:09:51someone grabbed a steel pipe
01:09:53and threw it towards Alan's other leg.
01:09:56A crisp fracture rang out
01:09:58and all the veins in Alan's body bulged.
01:10:02However, he clenched his teeth
01:10:05and did not utter a single sound.
01:10:08He only stared at Otis
01:10:10as if he was a ferocious beast
01:10:13ready to swallow him up.
01:10:15Look at how angry he is.
01:10:18Otis was shocked by the stare
01:10:20and suddenly became angry himself.
01:10:23He picked up the steel pipe beside him
01:10:26and smashed it onto Alan's body.
01:10:29Dad!
01:10:30Claire screamed as she ran to her father.
01:10:33Then Otis swung the solid steel pipe heavily
01:10:37and smashed it on Claire's forehead.
01:10:40Claire grunted as traces of dark red blood
01:10:44flowed from her fair forehead.
01:10:47Bitch, are you going to die for this old man?
01:10:51Otis sneered.
01:10:53Even though he had beaten Claire's head until it bled,
01:10:57he didn't have the slightest intention of repenting.
01:11:01Instead, he raised the steel pipe in his hand
01:11:05and swung it towards Claire.
01:11:08Zack could not stand watching this any longer
01:11:11and had to butt in.
01:11:13Mr. Evans, don't kill her.
01:11:16If you kill this woman,
01:11:18what will we do if that piece of trash finally comes to us?
01:11:22Otis looked at Zack and frowned.
01:11:25What are you afraid of?
01:11:27That trash?
01:11:28What is he going to use to fight with me?
01:11:31I can take his cheap life at any time if I want to.
01:11:35Is he even fit to fight with me?
01:11:39After saying that,
01:11:40Otis swung the steel pipe again
01:11:42and smashed it into Claire's body.
01:11:45Zack's mouth twitched,
01:11:47but he did not try to persuade him again.
01:11:50Indeed, to Otis,
01:11:52Kevin was just an insignificant ant.
01:11:55Forget about the Evans family.
01:11:58Even Zack's own family had a hundred thousand ways
01:12:01to make Kevin disappear without a trace.
01:12:04Little did they know,
01:12:06at that moment,
01:12:08that Kevin was less than a kilometer away from the front gate.
01:12:12Since Claire's phone couldn't be reached,
01:12:14Kevin's heart was burning with anxiety.
01:12:17He almost pressed the accelerator to the floor.
01:12:20Along the way,
01:12:22who knew how many red lights he had run.
01:12:25Finally,
01:12:26the front gate of the estate appeared.
01:12:29A few security guards at the door,
01:12:31upon seeing the lightning fast Bugatti,
01:12:34immediately became frightened.
01:12:36Then, almost subconsciously,
01:12:39they quickly retreated.
01:12:41Bam!
01:12:42The Bugatti knocked the front door off its hinges
01:12:46and like a ferocious beast out of its cage,
01:12:49crashed into the manor while the engine roared.
01:12:53From a distance,
01:12:54Kevin could see Alan,
01:12:56who was hanging on the tree,
01:12:57and Claire,
01:12:58who was standing in front of Alan.
01:13:01When he saw Otis swing the steel pipe at Claire,
01:13:05Kevin's eyes immediately turned blood red.
01:13:12You're asking for it.
01:13:15Kevin nearly blurted out the words between his teeth,
01:13:18but instead,
01:13:20he suddenly stepped on the accelerator.
01:13:22The Bugatti roared like a mad beast
01:13:25as he charged toward the family's bodyguard.
01:13:28The roaring and rumbling engine
01:13:31finally awakened the many bodyguards on the premises.
01:13:34The bodyguards instinctively turned their heads
01:13:39and their pupils suddenly contracted.
01:13:42Shocked,
01:13:43they scrambled to escape.
01:13:45A few of the bodyguards ran outside
01:13:47while others froze in shock on the spot.
01:13:50Bang! Bang! Bang!
01:13:52The Bugatti slammed into three or four figures.
01:13:56The black silhouette of a man
01:13:58was like a kite with its string cut
01:14:00as it flew over ten meters away.
01:14:04Then, in mid-air,
01:14:06it flung out many of its innards
01:14:08which had been shattered into smithereens.
01:14:11The impact from the Bugatti at full speed
01:14:14was not any weaker than getting hit by a Mack truck.
01:14:19But these bodyguards naturally
01:14:21had no chance of surviving.
01:14:24Everyone in the family was scared.
01:14:26Silly.
01:14:28Who was driving this car that suddenly crashed?
01:14:31Without much time to think,
01:14:33the harsh screeching of brakes rang out.
01:14:36The black tires left a long trail of marks on the ground
01:14:40before the car stopped.
01:14:42The butterfly door opened
01:14:44and Kevin's heavy footsteps landed.
01:14:48Silence.
01:14:50Everyone in the courtyard held their breath.
01:14:54When Kevin got out of the car,
01:14:56everyone except Alan and Claire
01:14:59felt as if their necks were instantly grabbed
01:15:02by an invisible hand.
01:15:05When they saw Kevin's eyes filled with anger,
01:15:09the souls of everyone in his presence
01:15:12began to tremble.
01:15:16Weir.
01:15:18Uncle Weir.
01:15:19Kill him.
01:15:21He didn't know who this man in front of him was,
01:15:23but he was scared.
01:15:25He was truly scared.
01:15:28The look in this man's eyes was too terrifying.
01:15:32He looked like a prehistoric vicious beast,
01:15:35terrifying everyone from the depths of their souls.
01:15:40No, Mr. Evans, I am not his match.
01:15:44The old man called Uncle Weir Golt
01:15:47and spoke in fear.
01:15:49He was a martial artist,
01:15:51an advanced light magic practitioner,
01:15:54the guardian god of the Evans family.
01:15:57In the past dozen years of service to the Evans family,
01:16:00he had helped the family grow
01:16:03and exterminated some unknown, powerful enemies.
01:16:15None of Cody Evans' former enemies or assassins
01:16:18could withstand three of his attacks,
01:16:21especially here on his home turf.
01:16:23These past few years in Sacramento,
01:16:26he felt that he was instantly
01:16:28one of the most powerful men in the city
01:16:30because there were no fighters inside the city limits.
01:16:34But today, after seeing Kevin,
01:16:38he discovered what it meant to sit in a well
01:16:42and look at the sky.
01:16:44Although Kevin had yet to make a move,
01:16:47from Kevin's monstrous aura alone,
01:16:50Uncle Weir knew he was no match for him.
01:16:54Kevin could crush him to death with a single finger.
01:16:59Uncle Weir, what are you talking about?
01:17:02You're a fighter, a fighter!
01:17:06Twenty years ago,
01:17:07Cody Evans had massacred so many people
01:17:10that a river of blood ran through Sacramento,
01:17:14creating a fault in the streets.
01:17:17Since then, there have been very few traces
01:17:20of martial arts practitioners in Sacramento.
01:17:23When there was the word of a practitioner,
01:17:26it was usually someone who had just started practicing light magic
01:17:29and therefore was no one to worry about.
01:17:32Brett Weir, an intermediate light force practitioner,
01:17:36had completely crushed any of these weaklings
01:17:39who had dared to stand up to him in the past.
01:17:42With Brett on their side,
01:17:43his family was not afraid of anyone.
01:17:46However, at this moment,
01:17:49even Brett did not dare to fight this opponent,
01:17:53saying he was no match for him.
01:17:56His family continued to encourage him
01:17:58until he finally stepped forward.
01:18:01Good, this old man shall give it a try.
01:18:05Brett Weir knew that,
01:18:07although Kevin had a frightening aura,
01:18:10there was no guarantee that he was much stronger than Brett was.
01:18:14After all, given that he appeared to be only 25 or 26 years old,
01:18:19it was only possible for him to be an advanced light magic practitioner.
01:18:24Brett was at the intermediate level of light magic,
01:18:27and it wasn't impossible to beat someone
01:18:29who was only a little more advanced than he was.
01:18:34and what he intended to do.
01:18:36However, when he took his stance in front of Kevin,
01:18:40he realized how foolish he was.
01:18:44This overflowing aura was not something that light magic could emit,
01:18:49and was even beyond the powers of soul magic.
01:18:54You want to kill me?
01:18:56Kevin said expressionlessly.
01:18:59Brett's eyes were filled with fear,
01:19:02and he instinctively tried to shake his head.
01:19:06However, he was shocked to discover that he could not move.
01:19:12Kevin slowly pointed a single finger up towards the sky.
01:19:18A formless wave of energy shot towards the center of Brett's eyebrows.
01:19:24His pupils constricted as he felt his soul leaving his body.
01:19:30Kevin was releasing his aura,
01:19:34meaning he was a martial arts master.
01:19:40As the force gradually grew,
01:19:44Brett forced out a bitter smile.
01:19:47He would never have guessed that Kevin was a master.
01:19:51Zap!
01:19:53Invisible energy pierced through Brett's head,
01:19:57and fell to the ground with a soft thud.
01:20:02The guardian god of the Evans family,
01:20:05Brett Weir, had fallen.
01:20:09Kevin had killed him with one finger.
01:20:12At the sight of Brett's terrifying death,
01:20:15everyone in the area felt a bone-chilling cold settle over them.
01:20:21Everyone was silent.
01:20:24They couldn't believe that this respected warrior,
01:20:27who had helped the Evans family for nearly twenty years,
01:20:31and had eliminated countless strong enemies for them,
01:20:35had died just like that.
01:20:40He was stabbed to death with the energy of a single finger.
01:20:46Otis' eyes were filled with fear as his body trembled like a seethe.
01:20:52Then, seeing Kevin walk towards him step by step,
01:20:58even his soul began to shake.
01:21:02With every step Kevin took, his momentum increased.
01:21:07First, he was like a surging river.
01:21:11The next step was like a cyclone crashing.
01:21:14By the time he stood in front of Otis,
01:21:17the whole world seemed to be hanging upside down.
01:21:22The overwhelming pressure was like a violent storm
01:21:26as it surged towards Otis.
01:21:29Plunk.
01:21:31Otis fell to his knees, his face as pale as a sheet of paper.
01:21:37Please, spare me.
01:21:41Otis' mouth was dry as he pleaded for mercy.
01:21:45His voice even had a hint of a sob.
01:21:49He did not know what he was doing when he offended such a tough fighter.
01:21:53All he knew was that his little life was now in this powerful master's hands.
01:21:59Why did you hit my Claire?
01:22:02Kevin said calmly.
01:22:04His Claire?
01:22:06This form of address shocked Otis initially.
01:22:09But then his pupils constricted as an unbelievable realization popped into his mind.
01:22:17The person who killed Uncle Weir with a single finger
01:22:21seemed to be that good-for-nothing husband of Claire's.
01:22:26No. Impossible.
01:22:29Impossible.
01:22:31That good-for-nothing husband of Claire?
01:22:33How could he be the same person as this god of slaughter in front of him?
01:22:38Otis screamed crazily in his heart.
01:22:41Then although he didn't want to believe it, he still couldn't help but open his mouth.
01:22:47You?
01:22:49You're Miss Wright's husband?
01:22:52Let me ask you again.
01:22:55Why did you hit my Claire?
01:22:58Kevin did not answer Otis' question instead of countering his question again.
01:23:04Otis' face turned pale seriously.
01:23:07It turned out to be true.
01:23:12Mr. Bennett. Mr. Evans. He...
01:23:15He didn't do it on purpose.
01:23:17At this time, Zack, standing to the side, spoke out in defense of his friend.
01:23:23He did not dare to believe that this man, who looked like the world's emperor,
01:23:28was actually the Wright family's son-in-law.
01:23:32Did I ask you to speak?
01:23:35Kevin glanced at Zack indifferently.
01:23:37This glance made Zack extremely terrified.
01:23:42No, Mr. Bennett. Yeah, I'm...
01:23:45I'm sorry.
01:23:47Zack's tongue was tied in a knot as he tried to apologize.
01:23:51This was too scary.
01:23:54Kevin was too scary.
01:23:57He felt that when Kevin looked at him,
01:23:59it was as if the god of death was watching him,
01:24:02and he could die at any moment.
01:24:05Kevin then shifted his gaze back to Otis.
01:24:09Otis held back his fear and raised his head.
01:24:13He looked Kevin in the eye.
01:24:16He knew his chance of survival today was slim, but he still wanted to try it.
01:24:22Bennett. Mr. Bennett.
01:24:25I am willing to hand over all of my family's property as compensation to your wife.
01:24:31Kevin did not reply, letting the silence build.
01:24:36Such silence.
01:24:40The many bodyguards and servants of the Evans family were like sculptures,
01:24:44petrified on the spot.
01:24:47But they were all thinking the same thing.
01:24:50So all of the assets in the family's possession should be worth more than ten billion.
01:24:56Was Otis going to hand over all his property with a single sentence to apologize to that woman?
01:25:03Is Otis crazy?
01:25:06Not enough.
01:25:08Kevin shook his head lightly.
01:25:10There was silence once again.
01:25:13Not a single sound could be heard.
01:25:16Otis had made such a grand offer, yet this young man still dared to say it was not enough?
01:25:24Then Mr. Bennett.
01:25:26What do you want?
01:25:28Otis's mouth was dry as he asked.
01:25:32Your life.
01:25:34He would never show mercy to those who hurt Claire.
01:25:38Mr. Bennett.
01:25:40I'm the son of Cody Evans. My father is not dead yet.
01:25:44You can't kill me.
01:25:46Otis panicked to have sensed that there was indeed killing intent beneath Kevin's calm expression.
01:25:53He was completely panicked.
01:25:57At the same time, the news also shocked everyone present.
01:26:02Cody wasn't dead?
01:26:04Kevin remained indifferent.
01:26:06What did Cody's life or death have to do with him?
01:26:10Even if Cody didn't die before, Kevin thought,
01:26:13if he dared to cause trouble for me now,
01:26:16I wouldn't mind letting him die for real.
01:26:20Otis thought Kevin had been scared by his words,
01:26:23and continued to persuade him with bitter speech.
01:26:26Mr. Bennett.
01:26:28To be honest,
01:26:30twenty years ago, my father was a practitioner of intermediate soul magic.
01:26:35Now, since all that time has passed,
01:26:38if he were to come out of seclusion,
01:26:40there is a high chance that he broke through the soul magic barrier
01:26:44to become a martial arts master.
01:26:48Mr. Bennett.
01:26:49You are a martial artist yourself.
01:26:51Therefore, you should understand what the three words martial arts master mean.
01:26:57Besides, there is no hatred between you and me that cannot be resolved.
01:27:03Although I offended Miss Claire, I have already shown my sincerity and my apology.
01:27:09Therefore, Mr. Bennett,
01:27:11you don't need to offend my father, a martial arts master,
01:27:15for the sake of a woman.
