Chapter 481


    Agnes was gobsmacked.


    The guy in front of her was actually such a big shot, yet she had casually epted him as her foster


    father.


    Now she understood why she was ganged up on by those thugs.


    Even though they had the upper hand, they suddenly looked like they’d seen a ghost.


    They were very frightened. Turned out it was because of the string of beads Albert had given her.


    Back then, a thug named Mono had cut her arm with a knife, instantly severing the thread of the


    beads.


    The beads scattered all over the ground.


    Mono’s face suddenly became frightened when he saw the beads.


    Turns out they recognized the beads as Albert’s personal belongings.


    No wonder when Mono and his gang turned themselves inter, they all had injuries, but none of them


    dared to say who did it.


    So that’s what happened.


    Agnes was still reeling from the shock.


    She suddenly remembered when she first met Albert, he was just working in a small restaurant.


    How could such a person be a bigwig in the underworld?


    Seeing Agnes‘ stunned expression.


    Albert smiled faintly, “Did my notorious reputation scare the pants off you?”


    Agnes quickly shook her head, “I just thought, I just thought…”

    In truth, Agnes was scared stiff.


    Because the word on the street was that Reggie was ruthless.


    “Do you think I’m from a different world than you?”


    Agnes automatically nodded her head.


    Yes, she had no idea what the supposed gangster world was really like.


    Her impressions of these people were still from TV dramas.


    But Albert’s image was far from that.


    He was always smiling softly, dressed in a formal suit.


    There was even a refined elegance about him, like a gemstone that has been smoothed and mellowed


    by time.


    Albert chuckled, “Don’t worry, even though I’m no saint, I won’t hurt my own children. You are my


    goddaughter, from now on, I’ll treat you as if you were my own flesh and blood.”


    Agnes was a bit puzzled, “Why did you choose me?”


    Albert was confused, “What do you mean?”


    “Why would someone like you take me in? I heard your godsons and goddaughters are all very


    capable, but me… I don’t have any special talents.”


    Albert burst into heartyughter, “They’re also adopted by me. Basically, they were either street


    beggars or homeless orphans. Where do they have any special talents? Of course, aside from my fifth


    child who’s a bornputer genius, the others all learned the ropes by following me.”


    Agnes was truly curious, “You’ve adopted seven children, so I’m the seventh?”


    Albert nodded, “You’re thest one.”


    “But I only saw four yesterday.”


    Albert said, “Sean is my first adopted child. He’s currently overseas,manding and training troops.


    Because he’s on the global most wanted list, he doesn’t show up easily. The one you met yesterday,


    Kearney, he assists me in managing domestic public businesses. Phenix runs underground casinos


    and entertainment venues. Naylor, he leads a moreid–back life, hasn’t achieved anything


    extraordinary. He’s into cars and now he’s a race car driver, kind of made a name for himself. The fifth


    child is the youngest among us, but I’ve adopted her the longest. She went through some things when


    she was little, so she basically doesn’t talk, but she’s a top–notch hacker, codename Nighthawk. You


    haven’t met the sixth child yet, he doesn’te back often, I’ll introduce him to you in detail next time


    you meet. You’re the seventh, although you’re not the youngest, you’re the seventh child I adopted, so


    we all call you Septima.”
