Chapter 6

The bloodstains and mud from others' feet mixed on my clothes, making me look as if I'd just crawled out of a garbage dump.

My face was so swollen it resembled a pig's head.

Forget about him, even my old friends might not recognize me now.

"It's me, I have proof," I said.

But before my hand could reach my pocket, Hendrik, standing nearby, immediately twisted my arm behind my back.

"What are you trying to do?"

At the same time, darling was asking Hendrik beside him, "Uncle, did you say the Gevano family?"

"They're the leading corporation in our city. If we offend them, none of us will have a good time!"

After he finished speaking with worry, darling laughed calmly.

"It's fine then, Uncle."
