“What? Cancel all collaborations?” Benny Assex and Madame Joanne’s facial expressions changed drastically. Their knees were going soft, and they could barely stand.By now, their projects would have already started. In order to get a lower price, Assex Construction had ordered large bulks of materials. In fact, the capital investment they made was even greater than before—they invested nearly all of Assex Construction’s funds.If Waylon Realty cancelled all collaborations with Assex Construction, the latter wouldn’t even be able to last a month.“Mr. Carter… P-Please don’t joke with us. We’ve already signed the agreement in black and white. How could you terminate our collaboration just like that?” Benny stuttered.“Yes, Mr. Carter. If you do so, Waylon Realty will have to pay a huge penalty to compensate us! Are you sure about that?” Madame Joanne said threateningly.“I’m very sure!” Charles Carter chuckled coldly.Madame Joanne turned to look at Dorothy with a piercing gaze. “M

Alex Rockefeller and the rest couldn’t help but turn to look at Hailey Lawson.She was the boss here. She should know what was going on, right?However, Hailey’s eyes were wide open. She seemed nervous and afraid. In fact, she was as clueless as the rest.Hailey had not been here for close to half a year.“Who are you people? Where are the workers in the factory? Who’s the person in charge? Where did everyone go?” she asked in a shocked manner.“I’m the person in charge. These are the people who work here. What’s the matter? Are you looking for men? There are lots of us here. Take your pick. Your satisfaction is guaranteed,” the one-eyed man said and started laughing.“Watch your manners.” Alex glared.The one-eyed man laughed even more wildly, as did the rest of the group of people behind him.Suddenly, the one-eyed man stared at Alex. “Manners? Stop acting. Favonius Bart asked you to come, didn’t he? Did all the men working for him die? Is that why he asked a gigolo to come h

“Sh*t. It’s Favonius Bart.”“He brought so many men. Where did he get them from?”One-eyed man’s men were shocked when they saw Favonius and his gang arrive. They started mumbling softly among themselves.Hailey Lawson seemed even more horrified.When she saw the group of fifty men earlier, her knees were already feeling weak. Now there were twice the amount of people, and some of these men even had knives in their hands—fruit knives, knives used to slaughter pigs, and pocket knives. These people appeared to be even more professional and terrifying than the one-eyed man’s gang.Hailey couldn’t help but move closer to Alex Rockefeller while holding his arm. “Alex, what do we do? There are so many of them.” Her voice trembled as she spoke.Alex could smell her makeup, and his body suddenly froze. After a while, he chuckled softly. “The more, the merrier. We’ll have more manpower.”“What are you saying? There are at least a hundred of them, and they are all carrying knives!” Hailey

What was Chi energy?It was fundamentally different from a martial artist’s inner force.Hence, like Alex Rockefeller, this woman dressed in a sailor’s uniform was also a cultivator.However…Alex didn’t back down in the face of her fierce punch. Instead, he stood still and allowed her to punch his chest.Upon impact, he could clearly hear the young lady grunting coldly. However, the Chi energy in her fist diminished by half…She was probably afraid that she might kill him with a single punch. That was why she held back half of her might.Bang!A loud collision could be heard.Apart from his shirt being slightly burned in front, Alex appeared calm and unaffected.His body was like a wall that didn’t even move.“What? How are you still fine?” asked the woman in a clear and crisp voice, clearly confused.At this moment, everyone dropped what they were doing and observed the fight.The one-eyed man seemed dumbfounded. He turned to someone next to him and softly asked, “Who’s

Alex Rockefeller’s face turned dark. “I’m not interested in kids,” he said.Holly Yates snorted. “I knew it. Men like you are interested in women like Boa Hancock. What’s good about her? Her body is shaped so oddly. It’s troublesome to even walk.”Alex was stunned for a moment.Who was Boa Hancock?But it didn’t matter.“Come. We’ll talk elsewhere,” Alex said.Alex pulled Holly to a corner to negotiate.“Mom, what is he doing? Is he trying to kidnap a young girl?” Maya Howards whispered softly to Brittany Rockefeller.Brittany looked at the group of working fellows before nodding. “Looks like Alex has grown a lot throughout this period,” she said.***“Your issue is on the serious side of things. It’s not something that can be fixed in a short amount of time. That’s why, the reward I want isn’t something you can decide on. I need to see your parents,” Alex said to Holly after pondering for a while.Holly was surprised. “I don’t have parents,” she said while shaking her head.
