Chapter 1230


    Tobias stood frozen in terror, realizing the situation was dire.


    Gia attempted to escape, but the bodyguards, Aurelia, and Neil, surrounded her before she could make


    a move.


    “It’s all a misunderstanding!” Tobias stammered, his mouth twitching nervously. “There must be a


    misunderstanding!”


    “This CEO is a legitimate businesswoman from Southeast Aciatic, and we’re doing legitimate business.


    We—”


    Nichs’ cold voice cut him off. “Tobias Chambers, save your exnations for the judge.”


    Tobias’s eyes widened, and his legs felt weak, as if all his blood had frozen.


    Nichs approached, exuding an intimidating aura despite nearing his 50s. The years seemed to have


    deepened his dominance and presence. His expression remained calm, and he coldly smirked at


    Tobias.


    “Mr. Thompson—”


    “I didn’t realize I only know how to fight, kill, and bepletely clueless about management and


    business,” Nichs said, his tone biting.


    “No!”


    “Tobias, you dare to steal mynd right under my nose!” Nichs clenched his fists, his knuckles


    cracking. “Do you know what this means in the underworld?”


    “No, Mr. Thompson… Please listen to my exnation!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

    Tobias dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his face.


    “Mr. Thompson, I have a family to support, and people depend on me. I just wanted to make more


    money! I made a mistake in a moment of confusion. Please, give me a chance to turn over a new leaf.


    I’ll be absolutely loyal to you in the future. I’ll do anything for you…”


    Nichs gave him a disdainful nce and kicked him in the chest.


    “I’ve been away from the gangs for many years, but thanks to you, I’m reminded that even if I’ve left,


    I’m still a man of the gangs! ording to the underworld rules, I’ll handle you!”


    Tobias copsed in terror.


    “No… You can’t do this!” He struggled desperately. “There arews! It’s not like the old times in the


    gangs. The police are here…”


    However, as he looked around, he noticed the police officers were expressionless, showing no


    response.


    One of them stepped forward. “Mr. Chambers, Mr. Thompson’s punishment doesn’t interfere with us


    enforcing thew!”


    “What…”


    Nichs smiled faintly and nced at Ian. Thetter dragged Tobias away.


    Fear gripped Gia as she witnessed Tobias’ miserable screams.


    At that moment, Zuko entered, holding Lina’s hand.


    Gia met Lina’s icy gaze, and her heart felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing it. She hurried over,


    nearly kneeling, and tearfully begged for mercy.


    “Lina—”


    “Don’t touch me!” Lina’s voice was ice-cold. She took a step back, her gaze unwavering. “Gia, I’ve told


    you before I won’t be deceived by you again!”


    “Lina, my parents and younger brother rely on me for support! If something happens to me, what will


    they do?”


    “That’s their responsibility,” Lina replied coldly. “They’re all adults capable of taking care of themselves!”


    “Lina Jenner!”


    Gia bit her lips, her eyes filled with fear and resentment.


    Zuko hugged Lina’s shoulder and partly blocked her, offering her a sense of security.


    Gia said fiercely, “Lina! Zuko! Have you ever considered that if something happens to me, then…”
