Silvia brought Neil into a residential building and passed him a gun and knife. “Wait for me here!” she said seriously.


    She turned to leave, but Neil grabbed her wrist.


    “I''ll go with you,”


    “You''ll only drag me down in this state. Just protect yourself.”


    Neil was speechless.


    Was he a burden to her?


    Silvia quickly left. Soon, he could hear sounds of shooting again. It was dawn by the time the gunshots died down.


    News of Hanson’s gang being defeated reached Ryoln City before long.


    Liam had just woken up when he received a call. He had a ghastly expression immediately after.


    Two hourster, he found himself hanging in mid-air in an abandoned mansion. It was located in the outskirts of Ryoln City. His


    whole body, apart from his face, was covered in wounds.


    The pain was excruciating. Liam’s face was twisted with pain, and his eyes were filled with fear.


    “Kane... | know | was wrong. | won’t make decisions on my own anymore. Please forgive me!”


    Kane was sitting a few meters away from Liam.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    He was wearing a gold mask and a ck suit. He was holding a ss of red wine, which he would nonchntly swirl. A cruel


    and cold aura was radiating from him.


    “Tsk. Foolish people who aren’t self-aware are really annoying.”


    His subordinates started to hit and kick Liam again. It was not until Liam was struggling to breathe that Kane finally said, “Let him


    down.”


    They loosened the rope, and Liam fell to the ground. He did not even have the energy to pick himself up and beg.


    Kane walked toward him and lifted his chin with the tip of his shoe. “Thanks to your idiocy, | lost more than a thousand


    subordinates thest time. This time, your idiocy once again cost Hanson’s gang a great loss. Other gangs took over his gang


    overnight. Do you know how much you''ve troubled me?”


    “|... | realize | was wrong...


    Kane smirked. “Do you think a simple apology will undo your mistakes? You think too highly of yourself.”


    Liam''s face turned pale as he gulped. “Then-”


    Before he could finish speaking, Kane’s subordinate grabbed his left hand. With a swift motion, the man chopped off Liam’s


    pinky.


    Liam screamed and rolled on the ground in pain. The veins on his forehead started throbbing


    as he broke out in cold sweat. “Argh! My hand!”


    He grabbed his hand tightly as blood pooled on the ground. It was an extremely horrifying


    scene.

    Kane stared at him indifferently as he said, “This is just a small lesson. | merely asked you to find something, but you did


    something else behind my back. | told you not to touch Neil, but you did. If Neil wasn’t still alive, you''d be a dead man now.”


    Liam controlled the fear in his heart and asked, “Why-why are you protecting him, Kane?”


    Kane sneered. “You''re not worthy enough to ask this question. I''ll give you one month. If you fail to give me what | want, I''ll make


    sure that you lose everything. I’m the one who made you the president of Remus Corporation after all!”


    Liam shuddered as he was extremely afraid.


    He only started to rx after Kane left with his subordinates. He then cked out.


    “Kane, Iris and Neil were already gone when we arrived. We''re not sure where they went.


    Kane smiled and calmly said, “Ignore them. They''ll return to Ryoln City anyway.”


    “Alright!”

    After Silvia killed Hanson and his gang members, she took Neil elsewhere to heal his injuries.
