Chapter 33
Marvin chucked and said, “Dylan, let me give you www.choices
Dylan’s eyes lit up instantly, “Please, Mr. Yates, an listening!”
He thought this might work in his favor–after all, getting an offer from Jeprodale’s wealthiest man could mean millions in compensation for losing his best fighter.
Marvin continued, “First choice we forget this ever happened”
Dylan immediately shook his head. “That’s impossible. I’ll take the second option!”
Marvin laughed again. “The second choice is this Jayrodale’s four crime lords go down to three, and I’ll display your head on South City’s highest wall for all to see!”
Dylan’s smile froze as he stared at the seemingly gentle old man. “Mr. Yates, I know better than to offend you. But may I ask why you’re treating me this way?”
Dylan was known for his ruthlessness. Yet, he found himself nearly in tears before Marvin.
Marvin grinned ominously. “Why? Because that man is someone far beyond both you and me! Honestly, if you hadn’t been respectful to me throughout the years, I would’ve wiped out your entire organization just for daring to mess with Mr. Lloyd.”
Dylan felt a chill running down his spine as he watched the formerly warm billionaire suddenly turn menacing. “Mr. Yates, I–I choose the first option,” he stammered.
“Now that’s more like it,” Marvin stated, his pleasant demeanor returning.
After that, the Rolls–Royce pulled away, leaving Dylan with his back drenched in cold sweat and his hands trembling.
“Mr. Garner, are you alright?” one of his men asked worriedly.
Dylan turned to his crew and declared, “Listen up! From now on, we’ll bury that hatchet with that punk–no, with Mr. Lloyd. Anyone who dares to provoke him will have me to answer to! I’ll wipe up their entire family!”
While Dylan was one of Jayrodale’s four, crime lords, Marvin was the mountain that loomed over them all–a force that even Jayrodale’s oldest families dared not challenge.
Andrew knew nothing about Marvin’s intervention. Even if he did, he would not have cared.
At that moment, a red Ferrari screeched to a halt outside Jayrodale General Hospital. Lauren jumped out of the car, her long hair flowing down her red dress.
“Dr. Lloyd, I need your help urgently!” she called out.
Andrew frowned. “Ms. Rhodes, please calm down. I’ll help if I can, but tell me what’s wrong

first.”
“Dr. Lloyd, do you remember when Cece was poisoned, and someone tried to block my car?” Lauren asked tensely.
Andrew nodded. “Yeah, I remember. But how is that related to the trouble mentioned?”

Lauren explained, “It’s connected! Just now, my secretary Eunice was poisoned too. These three incidents happened so close together, so someone’s clearly targeting me or my family. Please, Dr. Lloyd, come with me right away!”
“Of course! She’s in danger, and we need to save her,” Andrew replied immediately.
The red Ferrari roared to life as they sped toward Rhodes Corporation.
