Chapter 8

Jesse Pope climbed out of the window. As he landed, he felt blood surging in his chest. Although Burke Woolley had held back a little, the kicks he received still caused internal injuries. Jesse Pope had to endure the pain silently.

On the dark path, the lackey who had just finished reporting to Lord Liu walked unsteadily, thinking to himself that this was truly a tedious task. He had hoped to make some money, but instead, he was assigned this duty. How come that man with no background suddenly turned out to be so powerful?

What the hell is going on? The little scumbag was cursing along. Just then, Jesse Pope appeared. The little scumbag pointed at him and stammered, “Uh, aren’t you that guy? How come you’re here?”

Jesse Pop glanced at him coldly and said, “Go back and tell your Sixth Master that I’ve already returned the money. I’ve fulfilled my obligation. I’ve done my best. He’d better find someone else to handle this.”

After saying that, he simply left. The lackey remained standing there, taking a while to realize what had happened. He never expected that in such a short time, this man would also fail! He broke out in a cold sweat, his face turning pale with fear.

How should he report this matter? Just thinking of Lord Six’s expression made the lackey’s heart sink with fear. Lord Six would definitely skin him alive this time! But there was nothing he could do but leave with a gloomy face.

Just as this lackey was thinking about how to report to Lord Six, the Evan family arrived at his door. Lord Six was in the midst of making love to Xiaomi Ni when he suddenly sensed someone on the sofa in his living room. He was terrified.

He quickly turned on the light and saw Phoebe Evan sitting on the sofa, looking completely unfazed. “Oh, Lord Six, it’s so hard to see you! I’ve waited so long, and you didn’t even bring her along.” Lord Six was so frightened that his legs went weak. He had no time to worry about Milini at all.

Xiaomini is also someone who changes their tune depending on the situation. As soon as she sees that things aren’t going well, she doesn’t even dare to speak. Phoebe Evan couldn’t stand listening to his nonsense anymore. She grabbed Lord Liu by the collar and said angrily:

“I guess you’re really tough. Everyone under you is also extremely capable. You even dare to hit me? I’m sure you knew about this all along. It must have been you who ordered it, right? Ugh! You wretched dog! How dare you even think of doing such things?”

After saying that, he pushed him to the ground. Lord Liu didn’t dare get up. He crawled over to his feet and said, “Young master, this is a misunderstanding. I really didn’t do it. Even if I had the courage to do such a thing, I wouldn’t dare!”

Phoebe Evan snorted coldly. To show her loyalty, Milini swallowed hard and said, “Young Master Evan, it must have been that wretched woman who did this. Lord Six would never do such a thing. His loyalty to you is beyond doubt!”

Lord Six nodded repeatedly, sweat dripping down his forehead. He wasn’t afraid of this young brat at all. But the power behind him couldn’t be underestimated—it represented the entire Evan family.

Moreover, the man in black standing by his side said nothing, but the aura he exuded clearly indicated that he was a highly skilled individual—perhaps even more skilled than Jesse Pope. Lord Six knew that this was the Evan family going all out to ensure justice for this young master.

The person in front of him right now is so arrogant and domineering that Lord Six doesn’t dare say anything. All he can do is keep blaming Marian White in his heart. He never expected that his own mistakes would lead to such consequences.

Then he quickly added, “Young master, rest assured. I’ve sent in our most skilled fighters. This time, we’ll definitely give that kid a proper lesson!”

Phoebe Evan stretched out her injured arm and said through gritted teeth, “Want to teach that kid a lesson? Don’t you see I’m already injured? What I want is his dog’s life.”

Lord Six was too scared to breathe, simply nodding his head non-stop. Xiaomi Ni stood nearby, trying to remain invisible. Phoebe Evan glanced at them impatiently and said, “What are you still standing here for? Get lost! Go and avenge me!”

Lord Six dared not speak out in anger. It was clearly his own room, yet he was forced to leave. With no choice, he and Xiaomi Ni walked out. Just then, Phoebe Evan called out to them, “If you fail this time, I’ll show you what a real dog is!”

Lord Six was shocked. At that moment, he regretted not having spent more money earlier. Although he knew Jesse Pope was very capable, his personality remained unpredictable. He wasn’t sure whether Jesse could actually help him with this task. After getting out of this predicament, he would still need to send a few assassins over tomorrow.

Lord Six forced a fake smile and kept assuring them that everything would be fine. Only then did he leave the room. Once outside, he realized his entire body was wet. Soon after, he heard the sound of porcelain breaking inside the room. His heart sank—their treasured possessions had all been destroyed.

Seeing Lord Six looking so distressed, Xiaomi Ni gently tried to calm him down. Lord Six gritted his teeth and said, “Marian White, I’ll make sure you pay for this!”

Seeing this, Xiaomi Ni felt a sense of satisfaction. If that bitch were to step down, she would definitely be able to take her place. Thinking about the wonderful days to come, she was overjoyed, but on her face, she pretended to be deeply saddened.

Just as both of them had ulterior motives, the door was opened. Lord Six immediately put on a fake smile and nodded his head. Phoebe Evan, with a cigarette in her mouth, said, “Today, this is just a lesson for you. If you continue to fail to see people’s true intentions, and if there are any more problems on your territory, things won’t be as simple next time.”

Lord Six could only nod and bow repeatedly: “Please rest assured, such things will never happen again! I assure you of that.” Phoebe Evan snorted coldly, then left with her entourage. Only when she disappeared completely at the end of the corridor did Lord Six truly breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiaomini slowly followed Lord Liu into the room. The room was in complete disarray. All the antique vases that were carefully displayed there had been broken. The doors and windows of the bathroom were also damaged. Lord Liu’s carefully preserved vases were gone as well. He felt both heartbroken and angry. He could barely breathe from frustration.

Xiaomini quickly tried to soothe him, saying, “My lord, please take care of your health. All these things are external to our being. We can find replacements if they’re lost. What’s most important is that you stay safe. If anything happens to you, I’ll be heartbroken!”

With Sixth Master’s tender affection in his arms, it was somewhat comforting after all. He stroked Xiaomi Ni’s hand and said, “You’re so obedient. That wretched woman actually dared to go against me for a guy she’s known for just a few days. Once I have time tomorrow, I’ll definitely deal with her. That bar doesn’t need her anymore—she’ll be replaced by you right away!”

Xiaomini was overjoyed. She had taken care of this old pervert for so long, and finally, this day had come. Her expression turned vicious: “Marian White, you think you’re so tough, don’t you? If you act like that again tomorrow, I’ll make you feel like a stray dog!”
