“Ms. Lopez, I will go deal with them right away,” growled Sylas angrily.
Zoey shook her head and replied, “That won’t do. They are operating from the shadows while we are wide open.”
Sylas was stumped.
She could deal with anything if it were all laid out in plain sight, but she was not good at dealing with schemes and
hidden traps.
“Then what should we do?” asked Sylas, who felt a headache coming.
That was only their first day!
Zoey calmed her employees down and sent the injured to the hospital, but she was getting more and more worried.
An invisible threat was looming over her head, and she was in a position where she couldn’t do anything even
though she knew that she was in danger…
“I should’ve listened to grandma last night and drop by the Davies family residence,” murmured Zoey, who was
starting to regret her decision.
She didn’t realize that rejecting a simple invitation would bring about a problem that big.

I shouldn’t have acted so impulsively and caused such a mess.
At the Davies family’s residence.
“The Black family is in a mess now, Jacky, and the people at Oriental Star Group are terrified as well,” informed
Derek with a smile.
Jacky grinned evilly. “That’s what I was aiming for. Zoey Lopez rejected my offer, in return, I shall make her live in
fear for the rest of her life!”
Leslie laughed aloud and said, “Hah, rejecting Jacky Lawson. That woman doesn’t know what’s good for her.”
Jacky laughed as well. “Honestly though, I am curious about the kind of woman who dares to go against me.”
“I have a photo of her, Jacky. Here,” said Derek as he showed Jacky a few photos of Zoey.
“Huh?”
Jacky’s eyes glowed when he saw Zoey’s photos.
He grinned as he examined the photo closely, and it seemed like he was extremely excited about it.
Jacky’s reaction surprised even the two fighting experts standing beside him. One of the fighters wore a black mask
while the other wore a white mask.
Master has never been lustful, nor has he ever been attracted by any women. Why is he acting strange this time?
Did he see someone exotic?
“She is stunning,” murmured Jacky.
Ever since Jacky was a kid, his master had been telling him that women and gambling were things that he cannot
get close to. His master claimed that they would affect his future and that Jacky was destined to be great.
That was why Jacky had always been strict with his private life, and he had only ever been with a few women.
He would only be with those who truly captivated him and would ignore the rest.
It was obvious that Zoey had captivated Jacky.
He instantly changed his plan and decided that he wouldn’t keep threatening or scaring Zoey.
Instead, he would make her become his!
One look at Jacky’s expression, and Leslie knew just what the former was thinking.
Leslie immediately said, “Don’t worry, Jacky. I will have that woman delivered to your bed tonight.”
Jacky shifted his gaze to Leslie and glared, “I have lost faith in you two, so you will not carry out this mission!”

Leslie and Derek both have their heads down.
“Spread the news in the underworld. Anyone who can deliver Zoey Lopez over to me tonight will receive ten
territories and two underground gambling centers,” ordered Jacky.
“Understood.”
The entire underworld of South City stirred upon receiving that news.
Ten territories and two underground gambling centers?
For people of underworld, the offer was simply too alluring.
Whoever gets their hands on the reward would be turned into a major player in the underworld of South City, and
they would be entitled to receive Jacky’s protection.
That was the kind of privilege that would tempt others to kill even the Grandmaster and Brock Green.
The entire underworld was plunged into chaos.
Over thousands of people were persuaded, and everyone wanted to personally hand Zoey over to Jacky.
Naturally, Zoey was unaware of the fact that every criminal in South City had their eyes on her.
