Jerome immediately punched in a number on his phone and yelled into it, "Zaz, I'm in Silverwing Hospital right now. Bring along a few of your underlings, we have a brat to kill!" 1
Charlie, on the other hand, didn't bother calling anyone. Instead, he texted Albert Rhodes: [Come to Silverwing Hospital, someone is trying to kill me.]
Don Albert immediately called him.
"Mr. Wade, who is this son of a b*tch?”
Charlie then replied dismissively, "Less talking, just come over."
Don Albert replied, "Don't worry Mr. Wade, I'll be there i n a few minutes." 2
When Jerome realized Charlie was talking on the phone as well, he scoffed. "Hah, don’t tell me you had someone to come over as backup. What a joke!" 6
Charlie ignored his remark and smiled. "As I said earlier, I’ll have the both of you die the most painful death." 6
Jerome laughed as though he had just heard the funniest joke on earth. "Who the hell do you think you are? No one in Aurous Hill dares to defy me!" 3
Douglas, who was struggling to sit up straight on the bed, panicked and said, "Charlie, just leave. You can’t
win this b*stard, just don’t." 3
Charlie walked up to him and tucked him back into bed. "Just lie down." 2
Still panicking, Douglas insisted, "You don't know how powerful he is! His family is very well-known in
Aurous Hill..." 1
Charlie peeled a mandarin and shoved a piece into Douglas’s mouth. "There is no one whom I don't dare t 0 defy just yet." 1
Lily laughed. "Really, now? You're so deluded! Do you even know who you're dealing with?"
