Henry laughed. “No matter how influential he was back then, there’s no way he would eclipse your current self.”“Alright now, stop kissing my *ss. Get the car. Let’s meet Jake Graham and find out how much he knows about the Cadens’ incident from ten years ago.”“Alright.”Henry speedily made his way to the nearby parking lot.Soon, he came back driving a black Lunar.Henry picked James and Scarlett up and drove to the People’s Repair Shop in the suburbs.They had ample time, so he drove slowly.It was almost nine o’clock when they arrived at the People’s Repair Shop. Outside a huge repair shop.A black Lunar was parked here.Henry, who was in the driver’s seat, pointed at the repair shop. “James, this is the headquarters of Jake Graham. Though it may look like a repair shop from the outside, it’s armed to the teeth on the inside.”James was indifferent. “Let’s get out of the car.”The trio got out of the car and entered the repair shop.Before they could enter, a man dres

The underground chamber was not big; it was only around fifty square meters.To its sides were stone walls, and to its front and back were only iron doors.The door from which they had just entered was already locked.The iron door to the front was closed, and a black curtain prevented them from seeing what was going on behind the door.Upon seeing the locked door, Scarlett frowned slightly and looked at James. “James, this is…?”James waved her off lightly. “It’s alright. We’ll wait.”He had been through great ordeals. Why would he be worried about a mere local turf honcho?Though James was calm, Scarlett was anxious.Although she had interacted with the triad world, she was still a grave robber and had no experience in dealing with these people.“James, Henry, everything will be fine, right?” Her face was beaded with sweat. Along the way here, she had noticed how heavily fortified this place was. She counted at least a hundred mercenaries armed to the teeth.Henry tried com

In the house, a middle-aged man sat on a sofa.He looked to be around forty years of age and was slightly chubby. He wore a vest and had a Green Dragon tattoo on his arm. He was toying with two walnuts in his hands.“Move.”The mercenaries pressed their firearms against the trio.They walked forward.“Sit.”In a black vest and fiddling with two walnuts in his hand, the middle-aged, chubby man pointed at the sofa.James glanced at him and seated himself.Henry and Scarlett sat on his sides.Although they had taken their seats, the mercenaries did not leave and were still pointing their firearms at them.James calmly asked, “Are you Jake Graham, the Boss everyone’s talking about?”The man said nothing and cast a glance at a man in a hood behind him.The man in the hood understood immediately and brought a laptop.The man in the black vest pointed at the laptop and said, “Swiss Bank. Make your transfer. I’ll give you the information immediately upon transfer.”Without missin

James sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette.The smell of cigarette smoke filled the air.Opposite him, the black-vested, middle-aged man who had been fiddling with walnuts wore a dark expression. “I’ll say this once more. If you want your information, make the transfer now.”James lightly waved. “Nah, it’s alright. I’m not buying it. It’s not worth it.”He stood up.Henry and Black Rose followed suit.The man in the black vest snorted. “What do you take this place for? Do you think you can just come and go as you please?”James chuckled. “Have your boss come to us himself if he’s interested in a deal. It’s a huge one, after all. I’m afraid you aren’t qualified to conduct business with me.”Though momentarily stunned, the man in the black vest quickly regained his composure. “Are you implying that I’m not Jake Graham?”James pointed at the surveillance camera in the corner of the room. “Your boss is watching in the shadows, isn’t he? Just as I’d expected. Jake

Before the man in the black vest could react, he felt a searing pain on his wrist. The pain was so excruciating that he dropped his pistol.James rolled underneath the table and instantly appeared before the man in the black vest. He kicked the man and sent him flying. Then, he picked up the pistol on the ground.All this happened in a split second.Before Jake could even react, his subordinate was sent flying, and a pistol was pressed against his head.Upon hearing the commotion, the mercenaries returned and pointed their firearms at James.Even with a firearm pressed against his head, Jake did not panic in the slightest. Composed, he calmly asked, “Do you know where you currently are? Do you seriously think you can get out of here alive after killing me?”“Ten dollars. Deal?”James pressed the pistol against Jake’s head with a mischievous grin on his face. “It’s better for you to make your men leave. Otherwise, a single movement of my finger and your brains will be blown out.”

The underground stone building in the People’s Repair Shop.A dozen or so mercenaries were kneeling on the floor.Jake Graham, the so-called Boss and King of the Underworld, was kneeling on the floor as well, shivering.To secure his current position and title, he had to get acquainted with influential men. Otherwise, he would have been long gone.However, the imposing and awe-inspiring Boss of the Underworld was now kneeling on the floor like an obedient dog.Soon, the man in the black vest returned with a handful of information. Upon seeing his boss on the floor shivering, he staggered and fell. The documents in his hands were scattered everywhere.James glanced at Henry.Henry took the hint. He walked toward the man and retrieved the documents scattered across the floor. Then, he handed it to James.James read through them conscientiously.As expected of Jake Graham and his underground intelligence network, even information that had been kept from official channels was reco

Henry could not find anything about the underworld forces involved in the operation. Yet, there were names listed on the document. They never entered the Cadens’ residence. Instead, they had concealed themselves outside as a pickup to prevent things from going sideways.Among them was Black Wind Xander.James never expected Xander, who he had killed, to be one of the main culprits behind the destruction of the Cadens ten years ago.He was deep in contemplation.The information revealed that there were still others besides the known ones.Where was the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge? Who was the mastermind?James remained silent. The stone building was eerily quiet.After some time, James took out a lighter and burned the information in his hands.Casting his gaze on Jake and his men still kneeling on the floor, he hissed with a look of indifference on his face. “Get up and speak to me.”“I-I’m scared.” Jake was trembling.“Get up!” James roared.His roar scared the King

James and his party left after obtaining the information they wanted.Outside, in the car.Henry started the car engine and drove back to the city.James leaned back on the passenger seat with a thoughtful expression, making it hard to guess what was on his mind.“Henry…”Moments later, James’ voice interrupted the silent atmosphere.“Yeah? I’m listening.”“Look into Dawson and Nine Fingers. Find out who they are and gather information about their backgrounds. Send me to the hospital. I have to see Rowena again.”Henry nodded. “Alright.” “Ha!” James sighed.He would not have discovered that many more people were involved in the scheme against the Cadens ten years ago if he did not visit Jake.Right now, he regretted killing Trent. Trent was the main piece of the puzzle.He would have been able to gather more information about the real mastermind if Trent was still alive.However, under the circumstances at that time, he was enraged and could not consider too much. He ju
