Chapter 4
The next morning, Marian White went alone to Xiler Finance. The “Sixth Lord” of Xiler Finance was the actual boss of the Norfolk Nightclub. Marian White was merely an employee who had to seek instructions from the Sixth Lord whenever anything came up.
Marian White arrived at Xerox Finance and entered Lord Six’s room. There, she saw an old man dressed in a traditional Chinese outfit, with a face covered in wrinkles. The old man was sitting in a armchair, with his eyes slightly closed.
“Sixth Master,” Marian White called out softly.
“Miss White, thank you for coming. I’m sorry I couldn’t greet you personally,” said Lord Six in a sarcastic tone.
“Sixth Master, what are you saying? Isn’t this shortening my lifespan?”
“Hmph, do you even consider me worthy of your attention? Do you think you can afford to provoke the Evan family? And you even managed to cripple Young Master Evan’s arm. You’re really something.”
“It was Phoebe Evan who broke the rules first…”
“What rules? They’re worthless in the eyes of others. The Evan family says that if you hand over that kid who hurt someone, you can keep the Norfolk Nightclub.”
“No, he’s mine now. I can’t betray a brother like that,” Marian White said firmly.
Lord Six was so angry that the muscles on his face twitched violently. He casually grabbed a teacup and threw it at Marian White. Glass shards flew everywhere in front of Marian White.
“Okay, you’re loyal and trustworthy. You can decide what to do about this yourself.”
Marian White knew that Lord Six also feared the power of the four major families. No matter how things continued, he wouldn’t dare do anything to Phoebe Evan. So, she said goodbye to Lord Six and left Schiller Finance.
“This damned woman is paying me less and less attention. What kind of behavior is that?” After Marian White left, Lord Six cursed angrily.
“Oh, Sixth Master, it’s not worth getting upset over that worthless woman.”
“Xiaomini is much more obedient. Once Young Master Evan gets rid of Marian White, I’ll make you the head waiter at the Norfolk Nightclub,” said the Sixth Master, stroking Mona Mini’s fair thighs with lecherous eyes.
“Really? I’m helping Lord Six relieve his internal heat.”
Mona Mini slowly lowered her head, while the expression on Lord Six’s face became one of indulgent pleasure.
Burke Woolley was alone in the shop, lying quietly. Having grown used to a life of fighting and violence, enjoying this moment of peace felt truly precious to him.
“Miss White,” called the waiter at the door.
Burke Woolley turned around and said coldly, “You’re back, Miss White.”
“I forgot to ask you yesterday. What’s your name?”
“Burke Woolley.”
“Go away. Phoebe Evan’s uncle is the leader of the Magic Realm Martial Arts School. He has many skilled subordinates under him. If you provoke him now, you’ll probably not survive,” said Marian White seriously.
Berk Woolley sneered softly and replied nonchalantly, “Just come then.”
“Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
“They don’t have the ability to do that yet.” Marian White had never heard anyone speak in such an arrogant tone before.
The man before her exuded an air of dominance over the whole world. Yet, Marian White had no idea that this man was none other than the Holy Son, the ruler of the Temple.
As soon as Burke Woolley finished speaking, the waiter at the door let out a cry of pain and was flung inside. Burke Woolley turned around and saw Phoebe Evan rushing in with a group of people. He could tell at a glance that these people were different from those thugs from before—they were all quite physically strong.
“You brat, come here and die!” Phoebe Evan pointed at Burke Woolley angrily.
“Young Master Evan, what exactly is the purpose of all this commotion?” Marian White demanded sharply.
“Marian White, you really don’t take my Evan family seriously at all. That kid ruined one of my arms, and you still dare to take him in?”
“It was you who broke the rules first. As for my affairs, they’re none of your business.”
“I’m too lazy to talk to you. Today, I borrowed some guys from my uncle. I’m determined to break this brat’s head off.”
As they spoke, a bald, muscular man over two meters tall standing behind Phoebe Evan swung his iron fist toward Burke Woolley. Burke Woolley pushed Marian Whiteley behind him and managed to block the punch with his own body.
Berk Woolley smirked in disdain. With a sudden forceful push, his wrist snapped loudly. White bones pierced through the flesh. The bald, burly man let out a painful scream. Berk Woolley kicked him in the chest once more. The man spat out a mouthful of blood, flew two meters away, and crashed heavily into the marble wall behind him, shattering the tiles.
“How is that possible?” Phoebe Evan murmured in disbelief.
“Stop wasting your effort. You three who’re slightly better than trash, go at it together.” Burke Woolley pointed at the three experts behind Phoebe Evan: Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
The one who was just defeated by Burke Woolley is Lyle, one of the four chief guards under Porter Evanwu. These four are truly terrifying figures in the demonic realm. It’s unbelievable that they were defeated by Burke Woolley with just one move.
“Up, kill him!” Phoebe Evan roared.
“Miss White, you just stand by and watch.” Burke Woolley smiled slyly, swaying his body as he stepped forward to confront the three masters.
Before those three could even react, they quickly fought against Burke Woolley and realized what it meant to be utterly outclassed in terms of strength.
Although Qinglong, Zhuque, and Xuanwu were all master warriors, they found it extremely difficult to fight against Burke Woolley. Burke Woolley’s speed and strength were unmatched in the United States. After just three minutes of combat, Burke Woolley tore off Qinglong’s hand, Zhuque’s ear, and Xuanwu’s foot.
Is that all you’re capable of? Burke Woolison glared at Phoebe Evan.
Phoebe Evan was too shocked to speak upon seeing this scene. After all, these men were among the most powerful members of the Demon Realm Martial Sects. It was unbelievable that they could be easily defeated by this young man. His strength was truly terrifying.
As Burke Woolley gradually approached her, Phoebe Evan’s face turned ashen. Her legs trembled uncontrollably, and she staggered, on the verge of kneeling down.
I’ll spare your life for now. But don’t cause any trouble around Miss White again. Otherwise, I won’t spare you at all. Burke Woolley spoke in a calm tone, yet his words carried great authority.
Phoebe Evan trembled all over and couldn’t stop nodding her head.
Get lost!
Phoebe Evan, as if commanded by some divine order, rushed to her feet and fled out in a hurry.
Marian White, who was standing nearby, saw that Burke Woolley had reached out in that manner. Her previous worries eased a bit. However, Burke Woolley’s reckless behavior would surely be detrimental to future developments.
“Clean this up,” Marian White said coldly.
After a while, five or six waiters rushed in from outside. They threw Qinglong, who was lying on the ground, writhing in pain, along with Lyle and the others outside.
The Evan family is extremely wealthy and powerful. Aren’t you afraid at all?
Ten years ago, I had no idea what fear was.
You’re not afraid of me? The power of the Four Great Families is something no one in the Demon Realm dares to provoke.
I’ll protect you!
Four simple words, yet so meaningful when spoken out loud!
The woman who is the main protector of the temple—who could possibly hurt her?
If you really want to protect me, then become the king of this demonic realm and destroy the four great families. That’s the only way to ensure my true safety.
What’s so difficult about that? I’ve become the king of the Demon Realm. I’ll make you my queen.
If you can do it, then there’s no problem for me.
