StarNovelThe pudgy gangster wiped his tears with his sleeve before explaining everything that happened by the
provincial roads not long ago. He paused after his story, hesitating slightly before continuing. “Mr.
Silverton… since Leroy and the East Brothers worked for you and we have no leader now, could you
see to it that his family is taken care of? Also, that man told us to tell you he would only give you one
chance to make amends. If you still don’t know your own place, he’ll make sure to show you…” the
gangster rounded up his bunch of thugs and fled the scene before Miles Silverton could react.
They were just a bunch of teenage thugs who grew up messing about on the streets, not expecting one
of them to die just like that. Death was not what they signed up for, they decided as they recalled Skylar
and Dianne’s ruthless attack on them.
“Skylar Stone! You useless piece of shit!!” Miles Silverton yelled to no one as he gritted his teeth and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtclenched his fists angrily.
He wanted nothing more than to dismember Skylar into a thousand pieces and feed it to the wolves.
However, he knew that there were more pressing matters to deal with, namely the sorry state of his
company right now. Silverton Corporation’s share price was going to plummet once the press reporters
released the news of what happened today. The entire company would be in for a hard time as their
sales declined and their reputation remained in the gutter. Even the fierce thug that Miles hired to ruffle
Kareem Fashion had wound up dead. What else could he do?
He thought about how Skylar Stone had easily levitated his battlefield-trained bodyguard, Daryl from
the office to outside the doors, smashing through the door in the process while Skylar stood unmoving.
He also recalled the beautiful woman, Dianne Zander, who never left Skylar’s side. She possessed
terrifying strength, having single-handedly lifted Big Felton into the air and killed him without a second
thought. Both of them were definitely not in his camp.
Just as Miles was feeling a little disheartened as he considered his odds against Skylar Stone, Daryl
came over to him. “Mr. Silverton, if you want to deal with Stone using martial arts, I know a guy.”
“Hmm?” Miles was intrigued. “What guy? Is he any good?”
Daryl nodded earnestly. “I’d call him my idol. He’s who I want to be someday!” his eyes blazed
passionately as he spoke. “We are all merely tiny ants to him. If he wanted to, he could just extend an
arm and pinch us to death.”
“Wow, is there really someone so capable?” Miles was genuinely curious, his eyes darting around
excitedly.
Daryl nodded once more before continuing. “It’s just that… if you want his help, there’s a… price.”
Upon hearing this, Miles smiled eagerly. “Money is not a problem. As long as he can get rid of Skylar

discussing their plans in hushed whispers.
Back in the CEO’s Office at Kareem Fashion, Yulia Sue got up as soon as she saw Skylar coming
through the doors. “Skylar, so who was it who tried to sell their anti-blemish cream to the major
supermarkets before us?”
“Call me hubby and I’ll tell you,” Skylar teased his wife cheekily. Now that the trouble had ended, he
could finally be more relaxed!
“You!” Yulia pouted, playfully kicking his leg. She had been worried sick all this time while waiting for
news from Skylar at the office. However, she did want to know who was behind the plan that almost
ruined their own plans.
“Come on, hubs, tell me!” she said in an impatient, playful tone. The moment the words left her mouth,
she realized she was in trouble. She was beginning to lose her principles around this man very
quickly…
