On the other side, Norman Holmes drove straight home to his apartment complex. As soon as he pulled into the underground parking, he saw a middle-aged man approaching from not far ahead.

Seeing this person, Norman’s expression immediately turned grim. He whispered, “Go home with the kid first; I’ve got something to deal with.”

Jaylene’s face turned pale as she urged, “Norman, maybe we should just leave together. If it really comes to it, we could hide in the car and call the police.”

“It’s no use.”

With a stern face, Norman looked at the middle-aged man in the distance and, without turning back to his wife, pushed her slightly, urging, “Go quickly. If it really comes to a fight, I won’t be able to watch out for you.”

Realizing she would only distract him more, Jaylene relented, “Then be careful. The child and 1 will wait for you at home.”

“Mhm, don’t worry.”

“You really must be careful.”

Jaylene left, looking back every two steps.

Norman was fixated on the middle-aged man and said, “Master Hugh, long

time no see.”

Hugh Simmons jokingly replied, “Yeah, it’s been a long time indeed. But you didn’t want to see me, did you?”

“Wishful thinking, and yet you still showed up, didn’t you?”

Norman spoke indifferently, “So what is it this time? You want an arm or a leg?”

“Could you just hand it over if I told you what I wanted?”

“You’re thinking too much.”

Hugh’s smile faded as he said flatly, “1 want your life!”

“Right, with Kenny Walker’s vengeful nature, how could he possibly let me go?” Norman smirked at his self-mockery, pulled a baseball bat out from under the car seat, and without another word, charged towards Hugh.

Whoosh!

He closed in quickly, the baseball bat whooshing through the air as he swung it viciously down.

Hugh deftly stepped aside to dodge the bat and then moved swiftly forward one step, landing a punch squarely on Norman’s chest.

The latter stumbled back involuntarily.

A step slow is every step slow!

Hugh advanced with quick, short steps. His punches, like raindrops, pattered incessantly against Norman’s chest.

Norman felt his chest go numb, losing nearly all his strength, and his body softened.

Bam!

The final punch landed on his face, and like a broken sack, he crashed to the ground.

In just one round, the famous top thug of Riverhaven County lay directly on the ground.

From beginning to end, Norman didn’t even have a chance to fight back.

He tried to struggle to his feet but couldn’t muster any strength.

Hugh looked down on him from above and said coolly, “Out of respect for our past association, 1’11 leave you with an intact corpse.

With that, he lifted his foot and stomped down hard on Norman’s chest. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Purk!

Blood gushed out instantly.

Norman’s eyes flipped, and he breathed his last.

Just as Hugh was about to bend down to check if he was dead, Bobby Prince and Bryce Cooke just happened to arrive.

“Second boss…”

Seeing Norman lying on the ground, they immediately grew anxious and, brandishing machetes, charged forward.

Hugh frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Bobby and his crew hadn’t been worth his attention, but continuing the fray risked drawing the patrols, and that would be troublesome.

Still, he was fairly confident about his skills; that last kick had surely sent Norman to his grave.

Whether he saw it or not, the outcome wouldn’t change.

He sent a message to Mark Walker to tell him the job was done, then returned

to the martial arts gym to rest.

He had just gotten back to Riverhaven County today, hadn’t even had time to rest, when he received a message from Kenny Walker.

So, after cleaning up at the gym, he went to sleep.

Early the next morning, just as the sky began to brighten, the phone suddenly rang.

Hugh Simmons picked up his phone and saw that it was from Kenny Walker. Although he was displeased, he still answered the call.

“Mr. Walker, what commands do you have so early?”

“Master Hugh, Norman Holmes isn’t dead.”

Kenny Walker’s tone was urgent but his attitude was still fairly decent.

Upon hearing this, Hugh Simmons was stunned and said, “Impossible. My stomp surely killed him.”

Kenny Walker was also somewhat displeased, “Why would I lie to you about this? Norman Holmes was taken to Riverhaven Hospital last night.”

Hugh Simmons frowned and said, “I’ll go again later. This time I’ll make sure he’s dead.”

Kenny Walker sighed and said, “Going now, they will surely be on guard. Let’s talk about ‘Old Two’ Norman later. As long as he doesn’t cause me trouble, that will do.

If you’re free, take care of the other one first.”

“The one named Greg Jensen?”

“Yes, him.”

Kenny Walker did not forget to remind, “Master Hugh, this man has cost me quite a bit of business, you must kill him.”

“Alright, leave it to me,” Hugh Simmons agreed readily.

Kenny Walker’s tone softened, and he chuckled, “Then I’ll leave it to you, Master Hugh. I’ll transfer that million to you in a bit.”

“Hmm…”

Dawn.

Greg Jensen awoke from his dream, pulled back the blanket to look, and saw Lois Abbott curled up like a sleeping child in his arms, clinging tightly to him.

Feeling the smoothness in his arms and seeing the snow-white skin, a fiery passion ignited within him.

“How about… having a buffet?”

Greg Jensen’s lips curled into a sly smile as he kissed her deeply.

“Stop it, this early in the morning, mmm…”

More than half an hour later, Greg Jensen went to the bathroom and ran some hot water, then lifted the half-asleep Lois Abbott and sat down with her in the bathtub.

Lois Abbott grumbled dissatisfiedly, “What are you doing, I’m still not awake yet.”

“If we don’t get up now, the sun is going to burn our butts.”

Greg Jensen stirred the hot water, helped her clean up a bit, then said, Hurry up and wash, we have to go check on the new store’s renovations.”

“You go ahead, I want to sleep a little more. If it won’t work, just take Summer along.”

“Alright then, you sleep.”

Greg Jensen, feeling the slight increase in his True Qi, was in high spirits. Not wanting to persist with Lois Abbott, he freshened up a bit and left the bedroom. He knocked on the neighboring door, but when no one responded after a long time, he figured Summer was probably still sleeping, and with a helpless shake of his head,

“They really are sisters.”

After casually having breakfast on the street, he arrived at the fruit and vegetable supermarket.

Inside, Amber Hall led a few employees from Peach Blossom Village who were in internship with the senior staff.

Greg Jensen did not walk over but stood at the corner and waived at Amber Hall.

Seeing Greg Jensen, Amber Hall’s eyes lit up with excitement, gleaming with joy as she ran over, grinning.

“Mr. Jensen, good morning.”

“Good morning to you, too.”

Greg Jensen smiled and asked, “How are you getting on with the business?” “I’ve almost got it, but the computerized inventory system is a bit difficult,” Amber Hall said.

She was not young anymore, and her educational background was not very high. Before this, she had hardly ever used a computer, and now she suddenly had to learn to use one and master the inventory management system, which truly was a difficult challenge for her.

“No worries, just learn slowly, there’s no rush,” said Greg Jensen with a smile to comfort her, and then he said, “Go get ready and come to the office later. I’ll take you to see the new store.”

“Okay.”

Amber Hall immediately beamed with happiness. She was eager to go out with Greg Jensen and was naturally very pleased.

Greg Jensen asked in a low voice, “By the way, don’t mention my stuff to those people for now, got it?”
