Chapter 124
Anastasia nodded. “Got it. I’ll go and talk with Jennifer tomorrow. If she insists on not cooperating with me, I’ll find a chance to kill her.”
Mark lowered his head, not daring to look at Anastasia.
After all, she was the daughter of Noah, and not many could be a match for her. Her viciousness allowed her to help Noah in various dirty trades within the borders.
“Are there any signs of Golden Lord?” Anastasia suddenly asked.
Fear flashed through Mark’s eyes, for he was still haunted by what had happened that night. “No. I didn’t dare to investigate.”
Anastasia sighed. “People like Golden Lord shouldn’t even exist in this world. He’s not someone that should be in this generation.”
Mark felt his mouth going dry. “How powerful is he exactly?”
“He’s skilled in all sorts of combat. Kickboxing, Seventy-Two Stances Boxing; you name it. One of the Twelve Divine Deities, Crocodile Lord, almost got killed by him with just one punch.” Anastasia lit a cigarette. “Therefore, you should quickly track him down for us to deal with him.”
Mark did not dare to ask further and went silent.
That night, Jennifer panicked and searched for Kevin everywhere, but she did not find him.
She was not the only one looking for him, but his girlfriend as well. Nevertheless, his phone remained turned off.
Kevin finally walked out of Blade Alliance with dazed eyes at one in the morning, looking like a zombie. He had lost a total of forty million.
After deducting the funds he got from the auction items’ deposit, he was still thirty million in debt.
“Jennifer, I’m sorry, I lost forty million!” Kevin said after dialing his sister’s number, Those words were enough for her to blackout.
Although she was currently the head of Pollerton Pharma, she had spent a lot on
purchasing machinery and forming the steel structure department. Besides, Alicia entering Pollerton caused her to have no more than five million working capital.
“Kevin, do you remember what you promised me?” Jennifer screamed as tears, streamed down her cheeks…
“Now’s not the time for you to blame me. You should find a way to repay the money. The loan sharks will come knocking on my door tomorrow!” Kevin was frantic.
Mark had told him that Rupert was someone even Mateo would stay away from, for he was the son of the uncrowned king of Pollerton, Noah, fifteen years ago.
“Where the heck am I going to get so much money?” Jennifer yelled.

“Eternal Love and A Midsummer Night’s Dream can definitely sell for 30 million and beyond. I’ve already got the deposit, so we should just sell it,” Kevin said. “If I can’t pay off my debt by the day after tomorrow, they threatened to throw me into the sea!”
“Come home now!” Jennifer fumed.
When Kevin got home, the first thing he saw was his sister staring at him indifferently.
Kevin shuddered, for it was the first time he saw his sister looking at him so coldly.
“Jennifer..” Kevin muttered weakly.
“I don’t even know who’s the owner of Eternal Love and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. What if they come looking for it?” Jennifer started with a distant tone.
Kevin responded, “Someone who can afford to buy them will definitely not be stingy enough to ask for them back.”
“How could you lose so much money?” Jennifer was weeping again. “Forty million! Do you know the reason why I divorced your brother-in-law? It’s because of you!”
Her brother had become impatient. “He is not my brother-in-law. Someone as pathetic as him does not deserve to become my family member! Who does he think he is?”
Jennifer glared at her brother. “Our house was mortgaged because of you, and I even gave you the money meant to cure Grandpa. He had never done anything unfair to
you!”
Kevin replied in disdain, “Being poor is a crime itself! He’s in the wrong if he can’t provide me the help I want.”
