In front of the Patel family's company.
Casey waited here with a bouquet of flowers by his hand, wearing an expectant smile on his face.
He had finally returned to J City after all these troubles, and the first thing he did when he returned here was naturally to come to see Edith and give her a surprise.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Casey was very excited now, and he had even thought of what he would do after meeting Edith later.
He walked towards the Patel family's company and glanced at the flowers he was holding, but when he entered the Patel family's lobby, the smile on his face disappeared.
The entire lobby of the Patel family's company was empty, with no one working there, and even the desks were nearly half missing, with all kinds of documents scattering on the floor, giving the impression that the building had been emptied.
His heart tightened, as he wondered what had happened and why there was no one in the Patel family's company.
He ran over to the lift and reached the floor where Edith's office was located, which was still in the same condition as the lobby, and Edith's office had long been emptied as well.
Casey threw the bouquet of flowers he was holding onto the floor, then hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed Edith's number.
"The number you have dialed is switched off." After calling a dozen times, Casey received the same reply.
He took a deep breath, already wondering in his heart that something must have happened in J City during his absence.
He hurriedly ran out from the Patel family's company and took a taxi to CZ Community.
The company grew so rapidly that it was natural for it to change its location. Casey comforted himself in his heart.
When he arrived at CZ Community, standing in from of his house, he knocked the door hurriedly since he forgot to take his key when he left home.
Soon, Amara wearing unkempt appearance came to open the door. The moment she saw Casey, Amara slammed the door again.
Casey's heart beat faster, wondering what was going on, and he shouted through the door, "Mum, what's wrong with you? Where is Edith? Why is her phone off?"
"You are a jinx, our family end up like this because of you, if it isn’t for you, how could my daughter have suffered such a thing, you are a sinner, you can't repay what you owe our family in your life, I don't want to see you, get out of here!"
Amara shouted towards the outside, after which there was no more sound.
Casey knocked on the door for a long time, but never got a response.
He cursed in his heart, turned around and went downstairs, called Conor, and took a taxi to Starry Night Club afterwards.
Half an hour later.
In Starry Night Club, Casey sat in front of both Conor and Morgan, his face somewhat looked gloomy.
Conor and Morgan were both looking at Casey cautiously, as if they were looking at a time bomb.
"What exactly happened in J City while I was away, and why has the Patel family’s company been emptied? Where is my wife? Didn't I ask you guys to protect her secretly all the time? Why can't I call her?" Casey asked.
After a long time, Conor sighed and took a step towards the front and said, "Casey, take it easy for now, I will tell you what happened in J City recently, but you must calm down first, now that it’s been done, even if you are in a hurry, it is useless."
"The more you say the more anxious I get, just tell me what's wrong with Edith!" Casey said impatiently.
Conor gritted his teeth and said, "She... disappeared."
"Disappeared? Why would she go missing? Didn't I tell you to send someone to follow her all the time? Now this J City, isn't it all your world, why would she go missing?" Casey asked anxiously.
"Calm down first, I'll tell you the whole story, everything that happened, it all started because of Margaret." Conor said.
Casey immediately frowned and asked, "Didn't she already die? Why would these things still be related to her?"
"We are not sure what this is all about, I will tell you from the beginning, when I finish, you will know what happened in J City during the time you were away." Conor said.
Casey took a deep breath and nodded at Conor, signaling him to start from the beginning.
What Casey could not imagine was that Amara would help Albie to bankrupt the Patel family's company and force Edith to break off her relationship with her.
This time, Casey would not show her any mercy. No matter what Edith's current condition was, Amara had to be punished in some way.
Just as Casey got up, intending to go back to CZ Community and find Amara to ask her about this matter, a commotion suddenly came from outside the Starry Night Club.
Casey looked at the entrance of the bar and saw a man in a dark-coloured practice uniform leading a group of people into the Starry Night Club.
Those people looked aggressive, and at first glance, they were not good visitors.
Conor and Morgan both turned their heads to look over, and both of them frowned.
Casey noticed the two men's reactions. According to their reactions, with the strength of the two of them, there shouldn't be anyone else in J City now who could make them afraid, it seemed that these people who came in now were not simple.
He stood up and looked at Conor and asked, "Who are these people?"
"They are from Wonhu Company, the head is named Rogers, with the title of Shura, he is not from J City, he should have been sent by Margaret from B City, specifically to find trouble for us, this person is extremely strong, even though my strength and Morgan's strength have improved greatly, we are still no match for him, he wants to replace me and become the underground emperor of J City. During this period of time, he has come to look for trouble several times." Conor explained.
Casey nodded, snickering in his heart, what bullshit Shura, he had even defeated the Human King at Guanling, how could this kind of loser be his opponent.
It was just that he was now burning with anger in his heart and was thinking of an opportunity to vent it, since these people had taken the initiative to look for fight, he would not be polite to them.
"What’s your decision now? The position of underground emperor of J City, are you going to give it up voluntarily or let me grab it from my hands? You have already known my strength, if you let me start the fight, you won't have a good end." Rogers stared at Conor and Morgan and challenged, directly ignoring Casey, who he felt was unremarkable and should not be a formidable figure.
"Hurry up and surrender in front of our boss, our boss is a Shura with dozens of people died under his hands, the terror he brings is not something you can afford, just kneel down and beg for forgiveness, give up your name as the underground emperor of J City, then our boss will let you go!" The brothers behind Rogers shouted at them.
Conor was about to take a step forward, but was immediately stopped by Casey.
"I'm in a bad mood, just leave them to me, I just need some sandbags to vent my anger!"
