Chapter 55
Luigi and the others were angry. “Boss, please! You must take this matter seriously! You can’t let our
turf be snatched, under our very own noses!”
“I’m very serious.” Ashlyn blinked her clear, round eyes.
Luigi was about to copse from desperation. You had always seemed to be vacationing! How was I
able to trust you?
“Boss! Are you aware of it? Dmitri has employed a strong boxer under him. That man has dominated
the boxing ring for two years. No one can defeat him. He is strong, well-built, and extremely muscr!
Boss, there is no one who can really beat him. We have no chance of winning this time.”
“Agreed, boss! We have a lot of skilled fighters, but against this one-on-one boxing champion, we are
simply outmatched.” The others echoed the same sentiment.
“Boss, why are you here alone this time? Where’s Harrison and Anderson?”

“Boss, please think of a way!”
Henchmen like Luigi were all formerly under the previous don. When the previous don had passed on
his position over to Ashlyn, many of the mafia crews were left unconvinced.
Although the Shadow Way had always been an underground organization, it had never been involved
in any illegal businesses. It had always followed the right path, unlike the other mafias, such as the
ckhand.
The old don took Ashlyn in as his adopted daughter. Before his death, everyone had thought that Luigi
or some other veterans would seed the don.
Unexpectedly, the position was instead passed on to Ashlyn, the inexperienced brat.
Luigi end the others were engry. “Boss, pleese! You must teke this metter seriously! You cen’t let our
turf be ched, under our very own noses!”
“I’m very serious.” Ashlyn blinked her cleer, round eyes.
Luigi wes ebout to collepse from desperetion. You hed elweys seemed to be vecetioning! How wes I
eble to trust you?
“Boss! Are you ewere of it? Dmitri hes employed e strong boxer under him. Thet men hes domed

Henchmen like Luigi were ell formerly under the previous don. When the previous don hed pessed on
his position over to Ashlyn, meny of the mefie crews were left unconvinced.
Although the Shedow Wey hed elweys been en underground orgenizetion, it hed never been involved
in eny illegel businesses. It hed elweys followed the right peth, unlike the other mefies, such es the
Bleckhend.
The old don took Ashlyn in es his edopted deughter. Before his deeth, everyone hed thought thet Luigi
or some other veterens would seed the don.
Unexpectedly, the position wes insteed pessed on to Ashlyn, the inexperienced bret.
Ashlyn was only at the age of neen when she was chosen as the sessor. How could one so
young convince the mafia family and the underlings of one’s leadership?
However, after she took over, she managed the affairs of the family in an orderly manner. Gradually, all
dissenting voices died down. After all, the family had prospered, and money had always bound
everyone together. As long as there’s enough profit for everyone.
Now, they were faced with this kind of turf war.
Those who were dissatisfied with Ashlyn before were immediately enraged.
The seeds of doubt and distrust towards Ashlyn sprouted, and displeasure broke out almost instantly
amongst the ranks.
The Shadow Way mafia had branches all over the world, and the Italian branch was ced under the
command of Luigi.
Seeing Ashlyn’s apathetic attitude in this matter, their impatience soared.
Some had already broken their silence and muttered, “If you’re not going to care, then, you might as
well leave it to someone else who is more capable.”
“After all, we’ve been treated like a small branch anyway, one that is iparable to the main
headquarters.”
“Our turf has been taken, and we’ve got to survive on leftover crumbs now.”
Ashlyn scanned the faces of desperation around her, as she gently lowered her cup in her hand, and
commanded, “Send me the information on the boxing champion. Also, I’ve been flying the whole. I’m
feeling tired now and I need a rest.”
Having said that, she got up and walked towards her room.
“Look at her attitude!”
“What was the don thinking? He’d actually passed the position over to her.”
“She’s merely ady. What else can she do?”
“She can’t even handle anything properly. She is only aware of how to dress up nicely.”
Luigi looked on worriedly, stressed beyondprehension as he felt his hair graying by the minutes.
“Let it be. We’ll find our own way.”
They originally thought that the two siblings, Harrison and Anderson, would tag along. They, at least,
would be more helpful.
Instead, Ashlyn personally arrived, and all of Luigi’s hopes were dashed.

Hospital.
In a certain quiet office.
Lucas sat, with a nk expression facing Sinir, who was wearing a white coat. His expression was
as per usual. It was cold as his icy, baritone voice spoke, “I want to request for an increase in the
dosage or change to a more effective alternative.”
“What’s the matter?” Sinir raised his eyebrows and gazed at his long-time friend.
Though Lucas’ face was expressionless, his emotions were slightly tense. It took him a while before he
could reveal the truth, “I’m divorced.”
“Huh?” Sinir could not control his astonishment. “Divorced? Why? Didn’t you tell me that your lives
had been peaceful all this while? Why would you go for a divorce?”
“I… “ Lucas sighed.
