Chapter 141


    Marcus did not say anything, but his breathing grew morebored.


    His phone buzzed as the email arrived. He browsed the information.


    As expected, Nichs did have a grudge against the real Marcus.


    Robert was still speaking. “Sir, Nichs went to prison for intentionally harming someone when he


    was 18. He was sentenced to ten years but got out two years earlier due to his ster behavior in


    there.


    “He’s done well in Jangasas these two years, taking over several big groups. There are also rumors


    saying that he got up to where he is by instigating a few bosses and eliminating them in the dark.”


    Marcus’ brows were furrowed as he rubbed his temples softly.


    “Nichs has a number of bars and clubs under him now, but they are only fronts. He’s full of illegal


    dealings.”


    He asked in a low voice, “What was he like in prison?”


    Robert coughed. “He was pretty much a head in there. It’s said that criminals are ranked too.


    People like Nichs, who got imprisoned for killing or injuring people, are superior and are


    respected by other inmates.


    “As for… r*pists like Marcus, they’re looked down on the most.”


    “What?” Zephyr was surprised that the man he was impersonating was actually someone like that!


    “Isn’t it said that the man’s only a small-time thug who fights?”


    Robert chuckled wryly, “Mr. Z, how could a regr thug go in and out of prison so frequently?”


    Zephyr’s brows were knitted together, and his temples throbbed harder.


    “Marcus was a recidivist. It’s said that the youngest girl he assaulted was only 16 years old…”


    Zephyr took a deep breath and exhaled.


    Repulsive! It was not just Nichs. Even he would look down on a man like this. It was fortunate


    that Marcus Grist was already dead.


    “Sir, it’s best that you stay away from Nichs. He’s quite influential now—not as much as the


    Hamertons, but he’s in the gangs. They don’t y on the same field as we do. If he…”


    “Mm, I understand.” He knew what Robert was going to say.


    If Nichs came looking for trouble with him because of the former’s past disdain and loathing for


    Marcus, it would be easy for him to know that he was not Marcus.

    Zephyr was not scared of anything but Cordelia finding out. She would discover that he was Zephyr


    Hamerton sooner orter, but he wanted to take his time and exin it to her. Before that, nothing


    unexpected could happen.


    Zephyr hung up and dried himself with the towel before he went out.


    Cordelia was already sleeping—face against the bed. Her arms were spread wide while one leg


    was curled and another straightened. She had upied the entire bed.


    Zephyr smiled. His wife’s sleeping posture was not very nice, but he liked it.


    He padded over and pressed a kiss on her forehead. He tucked her in before going out to the living


    room.


    The Hamerton Group’snd acquisition west of Centrolis was only halfwaypleted. He had to


    figure out a way to pull Melorian’s fund over so both parties could work on the project. It was just


    that the old man had always had his guard up regarding Zephyr’s grandfather and refused to


    coborate easily.


    Zephyr pinched between his brows and turned on theptop to continue drafting his proposal.


    Who knew how long it had been when he straightened up and wanted to pour himself a ss of


    water only to realize that Cordelia was looking at him blearily from the bedroom door.


    “Honey, what are you doing?”


    Zephyr paused and closed theptop silently.


    “I couldn’t sleep, so I got up to read some news.”
