The second Donald walked through the door, someone hiding behind the door swung a beer bottle at his head.

In the blink of an eye, Donald dodged the attack and punched the attacker in the abdomen without a second thought.

It was clear that the ambusher exercised consistently because they had firm abdominal muscles.

Nevertheless, muscles were still mere flesh.

Upon receiving Donald's punch, the ambusher dropped to the floor with a hand over their belly. The impact of the attack was so strong that they could not even rise to their feet after getting struck.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

All of a sudden, a round of applause rang out in the room.

Donald looked over his shoulder and saw a woman sitting on a couch nearby. She was holding a cigarette between her fingers while staring at him in admiration.

“As expected of a man capable of kidnapping Mr. Zordan of the Quantrill family and Ruth the diva. You're indeed quite the fighter!” the woman praised.


“Otherwise, why would I even do what I did?” Donald replied.

Upon seeing how fearless the man behaved before Susan, Gavin knew he had just wasted his breath on warning Donald earlier.

Meanwhile, Susan narrowed her eyes slightly, and the admiration in her gaze grew.

“I heard from Zordan that you're a manager at Dragon Fide Corporation. I know the company, and I know it's doing well. Since you're a manager there, I suppose it's safe to assume that you make a fortune. Why did you end up taking the risk to commit such a crime?” she voiced.



While staring at her, Donald said, “Please allow me to be frank, Susan. With your capability, I'm sure you can earn money without doing anything. Why do you insist on doing what you do?”

“What did you just say, Donald?” Gavin slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

Susan instantly waved her hand, signaling him to sit down and calm himself down.

“Interesting. Let me hear your perspective,” she uttered.

“Well, it's rather simple. I'm capable of making easy money. I don't want a standard nine-to-five job and earn a meager fixed income. What's the problem with that?”

Donald's reasoning was fair and just. In fact, it was so reasonable that Susan did not know how to retort to him.

Those who would commit such crimes did not always do them out of desperation. Instead, they were merely more ambitious and had more desires than others.

Susan regarded Donald as one of those individuals.

“I admire the way you think and your combat prowess. However, you've brought me a lot of trouble. We didn't know that the actor and actress in our video were such influential people. Now, the people from Quantrill Group have their eyes on us and may come after us at any time. Since you're such an ambitious man, tell me how I should solve this issue.” Susan placed a pistol on the table as she instructed her subordinates to bring Ruth and Zordan into the room.
