Chapter 2517


    Jim channeled all the strength in his body into this punch, and after falling onto the ground, Malcolm


    could not even make a sound, much less move any part of his body. He felt as though all his internal


    organs had shifted from this blow, and he wanted nothing more than to pick himself back up again. He


    could not. No matter how hard he tried, he could not. Despair and hopelessness enveloped his entire


    being.


    However, Jim did not seem to think this was enough. Instead, he grabbed hold of Malcolm‘s cor and


    punched him again.


    Malcolm slumped limply on the ground like a fish out of water.


    “Anything else you wanted to say?” Joshua shifted into a morefortable position in his chair and


    stared down at Malcolm from his towering height. “You should know that you‘re no longer Malcolm


    Quinn.


    “Malcolm Quinn has been kicked out of Merchant City and is no longer weed into this city. Your


    new identity is Lucifer Howard, a driver andborer working for Thomas Howard.


    “If you die right here, everyone in Merchant City will know that Jim beat one of Thomas‘ employees to


    death, but no one will know that you‘re Malcolm Quinn, and no one will avenge your death.” Joshua


    narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Malcolm. “If Jim continues, I‘ll have to contact Thomas to send


    one of his men here to remove your corpse.”


    Malcolm stared helplessly at the man towering over him like a king.


    He knew that he had failed.


    He had failed in all of his conquests.


    Before this, he thought he had a fighting chance.


    Beforeing to Swan Lake Chalet, he had intended to use the three children as pawns to threaten


    Joshua.


    When faced with Joshua‘s wrath and Jim‘s aggression, he finally knew…that he had failed.


    He was no match for Joshua after all.


    In the past, he was proud of his intelligence; he had sought out Thomas and snuck back into Merchant


    City by changing his identity and had felt victorious over this.


    He thought that as long as he returned to Merchant City, he would have a chance to start over At this


    very moment, he knew that he was wrong. The biggest mistake he had evermitted was changing


    his identity.

    Just as Joshua said, he was no longer Malcolm Quinn but Lucifer Howard instead.


    A man with no background Aeo$/B{ no past, but just someone who worked for Thomas Howard as a


    Even if Jim pulverized him to death, no one would care about such a lowly employer, much less help


    him seek revenge.


    What did he have left?


    What else did he have to help him walk out of Swan Lake Chalet alive?


    Malcolm closed his eyes and finally had no choice. “I…I didn‘t bring it with me, so I can‘t give it to you


    now.” He opened his eyes to nce first at Joshua, then at Jim. “If…if you‘re willing to show me


    mercy.…I‘ll go retrieve it for you right now!” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk. “Okay. We‘ll go with you


    right now.”


    With that, he stood up and strode out the door.


    Jim furrowed his brows and quickly followed, asking in a low voice, “What are we going to retrieve?”


    “The remainder of the poison that was used to kill Bonnie.”
