Chapter 307
"It was him." Tiger nodded. "I've figured it out. After he killed my fighter, he knew I'd send someone to investigate. So, he ambushed me while my forces were weak. It was a clever plan. He asked me to join him and fight against the Williams and Sonnexes, but I refused. I think he's seeking revenge now because of the heavy losses the Pettersons suffered."Tiger explained the reasons behind the attack, believing it was the most likely scenario. After defeating him and taking his place, Lucas could control the Salt City underworld and go after the Williams and Sonnexes."This man is ruthless. He's still using the same old tricks from years ago," Tiger warned. "Brook, you must be cautious."Brook nodded gravely. Tiger referred to a time when brute strength ruled, and the strongest fists called the shots. However, times had changed, and large-scale brawls were no longer viable. The police would swiftly intervene, and those who resisted would end up behind bars.This was why Tiger hadn'

Eric glanced at Sylvia, aware of Lucas' unorthodox behavior in pursuing her. To safeguard Sylvia, he reluctantly agreed to Tiger's request."Okay, I'll help when the time comes," Eric conceded.Tiger nodded in gratitude. "I won't forget your assistance. I'll notify you when it's time to act."Eric was the obvious choice to confront Lucas' fighters.Sylvia worried about his safety, cautioning him as they left the hospital, "When the time comes, remember to inform Brook and request more support.""Of course," Eric acknowledged.He believed he could handle Lucas' boxer in a one-on-one duel but knew multiple opponents would be challenging. Additional help from Brook's crew would boost his confidence.Lucas' sanity teetered on the edge as the Pettersons suffered mounting losses in Salt City. Eric grew increasingly cautious, sticking close to Sylvia.-In the afternoon, Gavin invited Eric to dinner, a rare social occurrence for him. Eric had never personally attended client dinners
Chapter 309
After they got into the car, Sylvia remarked, "It seems Gavin doesn't want to be your enemy anymore since he invited you to dinner."Gavin kept apologizing to Eric during dinner, who didn't think much of it. After the main culprits had faced justice, Gavin's apologies felt less significant, especially after a month had passed since the events concluded. Apologizing at this point felt somewhat overdue.Eric had some wine, so Sylvia drove them back to the Rosewood Estate, with several cars closely following.Eric noticed the cars in the rearview mirror and frowned."Could you drive a bit faster?" Eric requested.Sylvia glanced at the rearview mirror but didn't notice anything unusual. She chuckled. "It's still early. Why the rush?"Eric was speechless. "It's not what you think. We're being followed. Let's head to the police station."Eric wanted to see if these people would follow him there.Sylvia didn't argue and quickly called Brook. After confirming it wasn't his people follo

The driver occasionally checked the rearview mirror when suddenly, a car collided with them from the side!Swiftly, the driver hit the brakes. Seeing people getting out of the cars in front and behind, he opened the glove compartment and grabbed an extendable baton. As Sylvia's driver, he also served as her bodyguard."Stay in the car, Ms. Williams!" he instructed before kicking open the car door and heading to the approaching group.At the same time, Brook and Big Sis received notifications that Sylvia's car had stopped.Eric, who was dealing with a traffic accident, also received a phone call."It must be Lucas!" he snarled, clenching his fists tightly. He didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with the traffic police who had just arrived. He hailed a taxi and rushed to the scene.-Although the bodyguard had an extendable baton, he was outnumbered, and Lucas' boxer was also among the group.When Sylvia saw the boxer, she knew it must be Lucas behind this.After knocking

The boxer grew impatient. Fighting there was one thing, but escaping would be nearly impossible once the police arrived."Mr. Williams!" Lucas said with a grin. "Tell Brook not to do anything reckless! Otherwise, I can't promise Sylvia's safety."He hung up before Henry could reply."Lucas!" Sylvia clutched her stomach, gritting her teeth. "What do you want?""What do I want?" Lucas laughed wildly. "Don't you already know? You set a trap for my family, causing us to lose a lot of money. I want you to pay for it!"Lucas rambled, sounding unhinged. "Sylvia, I like you, really like you! You're stunningly beautiful! Why did you choose that guy who only knows how to fight over me?!" "Mr. Petterson, stay focused!" the boxer urged.Lucas nodded. "Watch them closely. Don't let anyone in."After that, he began to undress.Meanwhile, Big Sis joined the fray. She was tall and strong, wrestling with one of Lucas' fighters. However, she grew anxious as Brook's team and Eric hadn't arrived
Chapter 312
Blood dripped to the ground from a long, gruesome gash on Sylvia's cheek, sending shivers down one's spine. Sylvia clenched her red lips, bearing excruciating pain in silence.Lucas licked his lips and remarked, "You're quite captivating, even with your lovely face nearly ruined. You remain composed!"He extended his tongue and ran it over the open wound. "The blood of beauty is sweet, but this isn't enough."With the dagger in hand, he caressed Sylvia's cheek, saying, "Vee, believe me, I truly love you." He made a second and then a third cut on her face.Eric was already outside the door. The boxer assumed defensive stances to block his attacks. Eric's eyes were ablaze with fury. All he cared about right now was Sylvia's safety, and he wanted to get to her side as soon as possible. He charged at the boxer, and the latter furrowed his brow deeply. Eric's attack was lightning-fast, and he closed the distance in the blink of an eye. The boxer could tell the attack was power
Chapter 313
Suddenly, multiple police cars pulled up behind Eric, and more than a dozen officers emerged."Stop!" they yelled, pointing their guns at Eric. The latter had just landed another heavy punch on Lucas before raising his hands.A police officer cautiously checked Lucas' breathing and quickly shouted, "He's still breathing! We need medical help!"Hearing that Lucas was still alive, Eric kicked him again, and it took a dozen police officers working together to restrain him."Let me go! I'm going to kill him!" Eric roared.His anger wouldn't subside as long as Lucas lived."Take him away!" An officer handcuffed Eric, but it required four officers to escort him.Once in the police car, Eric buried his head in his hands and wept bitterly.-Meanwhile, at the Sonnex residence.Irvin had just finished dinner and was leisurely sipping tea that Brook had served him. He felt content and was about to encourage Keith to work harder on his relationship to find a daughter-in-law sooner. Then

When Eric saw Sylvia being wheeled out of the operating room, her head wrapped in bandages, tears filled his eyes once again.Even Henry couldn't hold back his own tears.They escorted Sylvia to her hospital room, and soon after, the police arrived to inquire about the incident.Sylvia's driver recounted the kidnapping, confirming it with the surveillance footage the police had obtained.The situation at the abandoned factory was chaotic. Over a dozen people, including Big Sis and some of her subordinates, had lost their lives. Lucas' group had also suffered casualties."How's Lucas?" Eric's voice quivered with anger. "Is he dead?""Lucas is in critical condition, undergoing treatment. He hasn't stabilized yet," someone replied."Where is he now?" Henry's words dripped with resentment. Sylvia was his beloved daughter, and Lucas had audaciously harmed her.The police officer knew Henry would seek revenge if he found out Lucas' location. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, bu
