The people in prison were all frozen. They couldn't imagine that their boss would say such things to Casey.
"Is this the new skill? Making friends with someone and then killing him in a second with no defense? Sure enough, our boss's skill can never be expected," said the lanky man.
Casey looked at the man in front of him in confusion. He was expecting a tough fight today, but no one could imagine that things would turn out like this.
As the man called him Casey directly, it seemed that he was familiar with him.
However, Casey forgot when he knew such a person.
"Excuse me, you are?" asked Casey.
The boss looked at Casey excitedly, pushed his hair to one side and wiped his face with his sleeve, "It's me! Stone! Stone Eden! Don't you remember me?"
A person came to his mind until Casey clearly saw the boss's face.
Stone was his playmate in childhood. He would stay with Stone all day when he was learning kung fu. Terence urged him not to show his talent to others. Therefore, he had no way to fight against those of the Davies family and Stone became his sandbag.
At that time, every time Casey mastered a new skill, he would get Stone hit. Each day Stone needed to tolerate his fierce beating. Gradually, Stone became tougher physically and even stronger than those geniuses cultivated from childhood in large families.
Furthermore, Casey was eager to have a close competitor, so Stone not only needed to be beaten, but also needed to become stronger. Therefore, Casey would teach him those skills.
At first, Stone was not willing to learn that, but once he refused to learn or learned slowly, he would be beaten fiercely by Casey. Then, the next day he would have a good command of those skills taught.
Under the circumstances, Stone was trained to be a strong master. Later on, after Casey was thrown out of the Davies family, Stone once thought about following him.
However, in order to prevent Casey from rising again, Margaret aimed at those related to him. As for those familiar with Terence, they were thrown out of the Davies family or forced to leave B City, including Stone.
Because Stone was close to Casey, Margaret specially delegated someone to kill him. With the skills learnt from Casey, Stone managed to escape the clutches of the killers to a county near B City.
At that time, he didn't know where Casey had gone, but he believed Casey was strong enough that he would be fine. If he went to find Casey now, maybe he would bring trouble to Casey.
Therefore, he settled to develop his own power, hoping that one day he could help Casey. He firmly believed that Casey would be back and, he would come in handy.
Three months ago, Stone heard that the eldest daughter of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce was murdered, and it was said that Casey was the killer.
After getting such news, Stone thought Casey might have got back to B City, so he rushed back there overnight in order to find out Casey.
Stone knew that Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce was also searching for Casy and there had been a great number of wanted posters. As long as Casey could be brought back, no matter alive or dead, the person who got him could get a wealth of bonus.
Stone felt that Casey must have a grudge against it, or he would not kill the young lady. Now that the chamber was hunting Casey and Stone could not find him by now, Stone decided to help Casey eliminate Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.
Casey's enemies were his enemies. Even though Stone was beaten up by Casey from childhood, he always regarded Casey as his full brother and would move mountains to help him.
Maybe Stone was beaten by Casey for so many times that he was a little bit foolhardy. At that time, he hadn't taken it into consideration that even the Davies family also needed to show respect for Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, and he just tried to assassinate its president on his own.
Though he did injure the president, he was eventually captured by the Chamber of Commerce and thrown in jail for three months.
Stone had tried to break the lock on the door. However, the lock was specially made by Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce. Without special tools or keys, it could never be opened.
While sleeping, Stone was thinking if Casey had been captured by the Chamber of Commerce. Unexpectedly, he met Casey so soon.
