The bodyguard struggled vigorously.


    Conner remained silent. Then, the bodyguard''s wrist was hit forcefully with a hammer. He screamed in pain and passed out eventually.


    Conner''s gaze was cold. Seathbum City had always been Sergio''s territory. Conner wouldn''t stand a chance to win if they were to fall out now


    Besides, Zion had brought his men to look for Conner during the day.


    "That''s it."


    Sergio, whose face was devoid of expressions, rose to his feet and nced at Conner. "Mr. Jefferson, I''ll be waiting if you wish to settle the score with me for ra, But I''m afraid you might not be able to do


    so."


    Sergio''s men followed behind him as they left the nightclub.


    The secretary, Bailey Malcolin, stood beside Conner and frowned. "Mr. Jefferson, are we going to let this slide?"


    The Jefferson family was one of the dominant forces in Lentimas City, but Sergio had shown no respect to them.


    "I''m not afraid of Sergio Brooks."


    "Then..."


    "I''m afraid of Zion Spencer."


    Conner wore a deep frown.


    He hadn''t expected Zion and Sergio to make a scene because of a woman. If he had known earlier, he wouldn''t have acted rashly. Conner massaged his temples and asked, "Where is ra?


    "Ms. Stewart should be waiting for you at home now."


    "Remember to set up a meeting for her and Mr. Ramoz tomoLLOW."


    "okay, Mr. Jefferson.


    Remember to hold arge-scale press conference. I want to announce to the world that I''ve found Nathalie."


    Bailey looked troubled and asked, "What about the injured bodyguard?"


    Conner nced at the bodyguard, who had passed out on the floor, and said, "Give him some money and let him go home."


    "okay"


    Night fell, and Maeve was tossing and turning in the guestroom. When she heard the sound of the door opening outside her room, she immediately stood up to open the door. Zion had juste home. There were only the two in the dark living room. Maeve felt slightly regret when their eyes met. She shouldn''t have gone out when she heard the noise.


    She was at a loss for words at the moment.


    Zion removed his jacket casually and walked up to Maeve. He pinned her on the couch and bent down to check on the injury on her face.


    "Has everything been resolved?"Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "I suppose so,


    Maeve couldn''t help feeling curious, she asked, "How did you resolve it?"


    The Jefferson family was the dominant force in Lentimas City. She was curious about what means Z


    Zion had used to make Conner give in.


    Zion took out a bank card and ced it on Marve''s hand. "Tive billion dors."


    "Five billion dors?" Maeve was shocked.


    She had only been pped on the face, but Conner had paid them five billion dors.


    "What does this mean? Compensation?"


    "I told him to pay five billion dors, but I didn''t say I''d stop pursuing the matter after receiving the money
