Chapter 74: Chase
Although she didn’t know what had transpired between the two men in the room, seeing Adams' expression, Ailin couldn’t help but approach Masashi and ask what he had said to Adams.Masashi repeated their conversation verbatim, causing the mixed-race beauty to widen her eyes in disbelief."Are you out of your mind? With the kind of person Adams is, he absolutely won’t let this go." If it weren’t for the people nearby, she might have shouted out loud."Does it matter? From the moment I got involved in…-

Chapter 72: The Funeral
If the value of a person in the material world is measured by the wealth they possess, then the value of a person’s spirit is determined by the number of people who shed sincere tears at their funeral, rather than merely the number of attendees. After all, some attendees may not come to mourn. For instance, a creditor might attend the funeral of someone who passed before repaying a debt, just to have one last word over the body.By this standard, Montreux was clearly a man of mixed reputation and…-

Chapter 71: The Visitor
Seeing Amy hiding behind Masashi, Rolando seemed slightly surprised. As he approached her, the little girl immediately withdrew further behind Masashi, too scared to show her face. Seeing this, Rolando stopped in his tracks.“Ailin, is Amy unhurt?” Rolando turned to Ailin.“She’s fine, maybe just a bit shaken from last night’s incident,” Ailin replied, noting that Amy seemed afraid of Rolando.“As long as she’s not hurt.” The middle-aged man nodded.“Ailin, has Mr. Bacon mentioned the…-

Chapter 70: Gunshot
Masashi’s first reaction was to kick open the door. Inside the large room, dimly lit by a single energy-saving lamp, he saw Ailin clutching Amy tightly in the corner of the bed. A prominent bullet hole marked the floor-to-ceiling glass window.It was a sniper. Judging by the gunshot, the sniper was likely within five hundred meters.Masashi had faced snipers many times in the Black Dragon organization, and he knew the sniper might still be nearby. Without hesitation, he flung something sideways, hitting…-

Chapter 68: Passport
“Lei Yin, why did you bring us to a place like this?” Ailin asked in confusion.After dinner, Masashi had brought them to a poor area.“Miss, you haven’t forgotten, have you? Your passport was taken by those guys. If you don’t make a new one, how are you going to board the plane?”“But is there enough time?” The mixed-race beauty only now remembered this issue.“As long as you have money, there’s enough time. When we go inside, don’t say anything—leave it all to me,” Masashi said,…-

Chapter 67: Decision
“This is crazy, we almost died,” Masashi chuckled as he looked at Amy, who was huddled closely against him.“Who are you, exactly? Are you with Murphy's people?” Ailin asked nervously.“I already told you, I’m just a regular tourist who happened to hit it off with this little kid and decided to lend a hand.”“You’re really not with Murphy?” Ailin asked, half-believing.“I don’t even know who this Murphy person is, so think what you want,” Masashi shrugged, turning on the…-
