In the Jett residence in Tiusto City, the atmosphere in the living room was a little tense. The man in the middle had a square face and a tall build. He exuded a decisive air, and no one dared to look him in the eye.
“How’s Roman now?” he asked in a low voice.
The man was the underground king of Tiusto City and an influential figure whose fame equaled Mason’s. His name was Tanner Jett.
Ever since Mason left the underground world, the Jett family seized the opportunity to fill the gap. Hence, Tanner’s status had skyrocketed nearly overnight.
A young man who resembled Tanner stood in front of him. He was Tanner’s son, Ryan Jett. Ryan was infinitely more cruel than his father.
Tanner at least had some sense of justice. But Ryan only played by his own rules. He never had mercy on people.
“Roman broke both legs and an arm, and he’s undergoing treatment at the hospital. Don’t worry. The attending physician is the leading expert in orthopedics. Roman will be fine,” Ryan replied.
An icy glint flitted across Tanner’s eyes. He gritted his teeth and asked, Did you find the culprit?”
Shaking his head, Ryan frowned and said, “No. We couldn’t find any information on him, and that’s quite odd. Logically speaking, we should be able to trace anyone, but this man just doesn’t seem to exist.
“It’s like he just appeared out of nowhere. We couldn’t find any clues about him, and the Evans couple has also disappeared. We’re searching everywhere for them.”
Not many people in this city knew about Woody, as he had been in prison for four years. This and his unique identity meant his personal information was top secret. Even the bigshots in Kingsvale didn’t have permission to view his files, let alone the Jetts.
Tanner growled, “Useless idiots! Keep investigating him. I want him captured, no matter who he is! How dare he attack my family? He has to be killed to set an example! We don’t want people thinking that we’re cowards!
“Also, keep a close eye on the Cartwrights. Mason is barely hanging on, but his daughter is somehow in the mood for some charity dinner. There’s something fishy about this. The charity dinner is in two days. Attend it in person and find out more about the Cartwrights.”
Ryan grinned maliciously as he said, ” Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to stir up some trouble! Rumor has it that Helen is trying to do something good so that the heavens will smile upon her father.
“I don’t know who put that idea in her head, but I can’t believe she believes it! Even if she held a hundred charity dinners, Mason would still die!”
Meanwhile, at Helenova Ventures, smartly dressed office workers were sitting in their cubicles. One of them was Sasha, who had a serious expression.
A colleague beside her asked, “What’s the matter, Sasha? You seem to be down in the dumps. You were doing just fine this morning, so why do you look so tired now? What happened?”
“Ugh. If you have to know, someone I hate will be getting an interview here next week, and he’ll be working with us. I feel disgusted every time I think about it!” Sasha said furiously. At that moment, she still had no idea what had happened after leaving her house.
A manager immediately appeared when he overheard Sasha. He was Sasha’s admirer. “Who’s that? Are they a man or a woman?”
Sasha replied in annoyance, “A man. He was just released from prison!”
“What? A criminal? Was he a rapist or something? How did you even get to know him, Sasha?”
“No, he was just put in jail for hitting someone. He had gone overboard while protecting his family,” Sasha hastily explained. She was worried that her reputation here would be ruined.
