Ah!
Dennisâ eyes flared with anguish.
He demanded indignantly, âWho on earth are you? How dare you assault me? Youâre courting death!â
Kevin chuckled, his gaze as dismissive as if surveying a beggar.
Just then, Colette, positioned behind him, approached gracefully, her slender waist swaying with elegance.
âCan any insignificant person attend the meeting? Observe closely, this is Kevin Evans of the Evans family! The Evans family ranks first among the top ten families of Salem, with a whopping fifty-billion-dolLar fortune!â
She proceeded to introduce Emerson.
âMeet the leader of the Dragon Gang, a force to reckon with, with its twenty thousand strong members, wielding significant power across several cities.
Heâs the real underworld king!â
Finally, she ignited a cigarette, expelling a grey smoke ring in Dennisâ direction.
She taunted, âI am but a member of the capitalâs Hopkins family.
Not overly wealthy, merely worth fifty billion! Do you now understand your standing before us? You are a total fool!â
The others present joined in the mockery.
âColette, how ruthless you are.
What if he ended up wetting his pants, all because of the information you gave him? That would spoil the atmosphere, wouldnât it?â
âMy bad.
I was only berating a dog when it unexpectedly lunged at us.

Listening to their ridicule, Dennis sat straight up from his spot on the floor, his body rigid with dread.
In his profound fear, his complexion had turned ghostly pale.
He finally came to realize his own foolishness and ignorance.

This was, after all, Salem, a big city, not some tiny city like Ninverton.
A fortune of over a billion was peanuts before these heavyweights.
Any one of them could crush him effortlessly.
Upon this realization, Dennisâ lips quivered as he apologized, âIâm sorry.
Iâm nothing but a dog.
Iâm here on Mr.
Norrisâ orders.
Please donât make things tough for me!â
Kevin grunted, his smile cruel.
He crouched, gave Dennisâ cheek a pat, and warned, âSince youâre Mr.
Norrisâ dog, behave accordingly and refrain from yapping.
If it happens again, I might just step on your head and squish your brains!
Explaining it to Mr.
Norris might be a nuisance, but Iâm not one to shy away from trouble.
Care to test it?â
Dennis believed every word and shook his head frantically.
Just then, a sardonic voice echoed.
âMr.
Evans, I wouldnât have expected your refined demeanor to conceal such a fiery temper.
