Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“You!”

After Howard Wagner heard these words, he was so angry, he wanted to quit right there and then. However, because of the many concerns he had, he couldn’t do what he really wanted to do.

For a time, Howard Wagner felt extremely wronged and persecuted inside.

He looked at Bruce White apologetically. His demeanor could only be described as bitter and helpless.

At this time, Bruce White patted his shoulder gently. “Fatso, don’t worry about it. If you want to quit, just quit. Starting today, no one can hurt you anymore, and no one can hurt your family either. Remember, this is what I, Bruce White, will promise you!”

“Rea-REALLY?” Howard Wagner looked at Bruce White with disbelief. His reddened eyes filled with grateful tears.

Bruce White nodded with emphasis as if he was making a solemn vow to Howard Wagner.

When Howard Wagner saw this, he took off the work badge hanging around his neck and threw it on the ground with great resentment. With a thud, Howard Wagner stepped on it with his full weight.

At this moment, Howard Wagner seemed to be venting all the frustrations and wrongs that he had suffered over the past five years.

“Goddamnit! I don’t give a flying fig about this stupid job anymore!! How dare you tell me to take the graveyard shift at the assembly line? YOU go to hell! When I was working hard to get this company started, you were still selling sweet potatoes in the countryside!”

Howard Wagner spat out his displeasure fiercely and this act of defiance angered Baxton Vade to no end. He was standing on the steps, choking on his indignation. He was shaking so much as he pointed at Howard Wagner’s nose menacingly. “You lying, cheating, disloyal trash! You’re done!”

“Ptui! Boot-licking, spinless creature! My brother is back and I QUIT! What can you do with me?” After enduring injustice all these years, this was his moment of vindication.

Wow!

Baxton Vade was so exasperated and angry. “This is out of order, OUT OF ORDER! You rebel rouser! You, you, and you! Hurry up and get these deceptive pieces of trash out of here!”

When everyone heard those words, they immediately surrounded them with all they’ve got. But at this moment, Kirin, who had been standing in front of them, suddenly made his move.

With two loud bangs, two men, like loosened kites, flew upside down and hit the ground with a massive thud.

At this moment, Bruce White began to move, walking up the stairs, one step at a time.

Watching Bruce White walking towards him, Baxton Vade was instantly furious. “Hurry up! Get him! What the hell! Get them out and everyone will get an extra grand as a bonus for this month!”

There was no lack of hired hands if the price is right. Many younger employees, under the temptation of such a lucrative financial promise, decided to have a go at it.

However, Kirin, was like an insurmountable mountain at the moment. Anyone who dared to approach Bruce White was mercilessly thrown into the air by him.

In less than a minute, twenty or thirty men were down at the scene already. Every one of them lay on the ground, wailing in pain.

“You...you...what on earth do you want to do? If you dare to mess around, the Executive Bureau will hunt you down.”

Facing Bruce White, who was getting closer with each advancing step, Baxton Vade couldn’t help but stumble two steps back. Unfortunately, he accidentally bumped into the steps, so he staggered and fell to the ground.

Bruce White looked at him from high above, and lowly stretched out his hand, grabbing Baxton Vade by the neck. He lifted him up with great ease.

Baxton Vade wanted to resist, but Bruce White’s hand was like a vice. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t get himself out of his grip.

Finally, Baxton Vade was truly frightened. His eyes were as wide as saucers, his body trembled without ceasing, and his face turned purple from not being able to breathe.

He was having difficulty breathing!

Baxton Vade felt like he was going to die.

Faced with the real possibility of his own death, Baxton Vade desperately wanted to beg for mercy, but he was unable to make out a single word.

“What kind of trash are you? You dare to threaten my brother?”

Bruce White’s face hardened as he threw Baxton Vade a distance of more than ten meters.

As a loud bang was heard, everyone’s hearts shuddered violently.

The men who were on the ground showed an expression of fear and cowered. None of them dared to take another look at Bruce White.

When Howard Wagner saw Bruce White being so magnanimous and confrontational, he was also shocked to the core.

He hesitated for a long time before he gave in to the urge and asked Bruce White, “Bruce, what happened to you in these past five years? How did you come to have such formidable skills?”

Everything aside, just picking up a grown man like Baxton Vade single-handedly was enough to shock Howard Wagner to no end.

Facing Howard Wagner’s question, Bruce White smiled and replied vaguely, “It’s a long story, I will tell you some other time.”

While in prison, he had been taken in by a mysterious man. Later, he joined the military went through many glorious and near-death military exploits for which he was eventually recognized and honored. He was even conferred as the title of the most supreme Military Lord of Langdon.

Over the past five years, way too many things happened, but not all those things could become common knowledge.

The more people knew, the more dangerous it was for those who knew. Not to mention, Howard Wagner was a brother—someone he really cared about.

When Howard Wagner heard Bruce White’s reply, he tactfully shut up and did not ask any more questions. He was content to follow him silently as they made their way in the direction of the event venue.

Right now, inside the ballroom, there was a lively scene of festive celebration.

Between raised glasses and exciting chatter, there was nothing but flattery and compliments directed at Thomas Zane and Peggy Vade.

Of course, there was no lack of mentions of Bruce White. But without exception, whenever they mentioned the man, they wanted to elevate Thomas Zane and Peggy Vade by belittling Bruce White.

Obviously, this was something both of them enjoyed very much, so everyone was even more enthusiastic about spewing out such things.

“Mr. Zane overcame the madness of catastrophe and maintained the organization with a righteous spirit. You are the definition of a true leader! How could the likes of Bruce White be worthy enough to be spoken of in the same sentence as you? He doesn’t even deserve to carry your shoes for you.”

“Bruce White is nothing. If it weren’t for him, Zane Corporation would have gotten its IPO a long time ago. Fortunately for us, Mr. Zane and Ms. Vade were astute enough to see through his schemes.”

“People like Bruce White should stay in prison forever so that he can’t come out and plague the earth...”

Everyone was jumping in as if they were afraid of missing their turn to speak up. Their obvious enthusiasm delighted Thomas Zane and Peggy Vade to no end and they laughed nonstop. It was evident from both their faces that they couldn’t be more pleased.

Just as the crowd surrounded the two of them was rushing to please, Howard Wagner took Bruce White and Kirin and successfully entered the celebration party.

Huh?

At this moment, a young man wearing a suit ran towards them with urgency.

“Fatso! Are you out of your mind? Why did you bring him in here!?” The man in the suit used his body to cover the body of Bruce White as much as possible so that no one would discover his existence.

“Robert Drey?”

He was another person with whom Bruce White was very familiar. The man in the suit was named Robert Drey, one of the fellows who started the company with Bruce White.

“Bob, Zane Corporation is Bruce’s company—no one knows this better than us. Now that Bruce is back to take what’s rightfully his, what is the problem with letting him come in here?” asked Howard Wagner.

“You are so stubborn, I can’t talk to you! I’m done!” Robert Drey gave Howard Wagner an exasperated look and stood with Bruce White instead.

As he stood with Bruce White, he was a little dodgy, as if he had done something unspeakable.

“Bruce, listen to me. It’s a different time and circumstance now. You saw it, everyone here is busy getting on Thomas Zane’s good side because of the support he’s getting from the Headquarters of Eastern Defense. Even if you are back now, there is not much you can do.

“Listen to me, leave now, and let’s talk this through later and make a plan. If you want to start over again, we brothers will support you one thousand percent.

“But, tonight is really not a good time. If they know you are here, you might not be able to get away.”

Just as Robert Drey was trying his best to dissuade Bruce White, some unexpected characters appeared behind them. “Hey! Isn’t this Bruce White, our ex-chairman? Have you gotten out of jail already?”
