Channing
Being in a dying state, Sherman was crawling on the ground at the entrance of the Smith family's house.
Suddenly, a Lincoln limousine stopped at the side of the road.
A driver, dressed in a suit and a pair of white gloves, quickly got out of the car and went to open the back door.
In an instant, a white-shirted slender man stepped out of the car and covered his mouth with a handkerchief while coughing sickly.
With a few of his men trailing from behind, he glanced ahead to see Sherman crawling like a dying mutt on the ground, then raised his brow as he asked, “Mr. Sherman?”.
As soon as Sherman heard someone calling him, he raised his head with a struggle, looking up and almost crying when he saw Kelvin. “Kelvin, you're finally here. I'm afraid I might have died here if you hadn't come.”

Along with his fellow men, Weil looked at Kelvin and the others warily, then said coldly, “You few, hurry up and leave. Sherman Goldstein needs to kneel here for three full days. If you insist on taking him, don't blame us for not being nice.”
Not being nice?
Kelvin coughed twice then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a flickering smile.
Back then, everyone knew how powerful the sick scholar was, so no one dared to be rude to him; but now, a few random people had appeared in front of him and even behaved tactlessly before his eyes.
“You're all Nathan's subordinates, aren't you?” He glanced at Weil and the others and chuckled.
Weil shook his head and responded, “No, we are Mr. Dunn's subordinates and Mr. Dunn is Mr.
