The woman''s voice wasn''t loud, but everyone in the private room could hear it clearly.


    Upon seeing her, the dozen burly men retreated as if they had seen a beast.


    Ivan himself didn''t dare continue beating Jeffrey. He walked up to the woman with a smile and greeted, "Hey, Rose." Rose was beautiful, with delicate features and snow-white skin. Her red strapless dress entuated her sexy figure.


    Every movement of hers showcased her grace and charm.


    Recognizing Ivan, Rose raised an eyebrow. "How dare you cause trouble in my bar? Have you lost your mind?"


    Frightened, Ivan quickly exined, "No, Rose... It''s not like that. Jeffrey said he spoke with you. Otherwise, I would never dare cause trouble in your bar."


    "Oh." Rose nodded in acknowledgment. "So you''re the thug he hired. I reckon you''ve been beating him for long enough. If you keep going, he''ll die. Now, get out!" Her tone was calm as if talking about something trivial, but it carried the authority of a generalmanding an army.


    Any defiance of her orders would lead to chaos and bloodshed.


    Ivan nced at Matthew and saw there was no reaction from him. He nodded frantically, saying, "I''m leaving. I''m leaving."


    He was eager to escape. Everyone in this private room held power over him.


    Having beaten up and offended Jeffrey, Ivan wanted to leave Lambda City and go into hiding.


    He paused as he reached the door, suddenly hesitant to leave the city behind. He understood that people were valued less when they left their hometown.


    He looked back at Matthew who remainedposed despite all the chaos.


    Ivan sighed and decisively left with his men. All the while, Rose paid no attention to the retreating Ivan.


    Since entering the room, she hadn''t even seen Jeffrey.


    Her eyes swept over Matthew, Tessa, and finallynded on the two escorts. "Where''s Mr. Smith? Why don''t I see him?"


    The two women awkwardly pointed to Jeffrey who was lying on the floor. "Mr. Smith is here."


    Jeffrey was sprawled on the floor, his back covered in footprints.


    He looked unsightly.


    Rose frowned. "How is that possible? How could this be Mr. Smith?"


    Jeffrey had informed her that he was here to handle a personal grudge and wanted to beat


    someone up. He had asked for her e-up. support, but her employees were now telling her that the beaten man on the ground was Jeffrey


    She was baffled, not understanding the situation.


    After the initial shock, she quickly


    went to help him up. "Why... Whyt Vane one who got beaten

    Ivan your hire?"


    Getting closer, she took the opportunity to voice her confusion.


    Jeffrey instantly exploded with rage. Ivan was hisckey, but he had turned against him.


    He roared, "Bring me some men. I want to kill him. I want to kill Ivan! And I want to kill Matthew!"


    He was shouting hysterically, driven


    mad by


    been scared of Matthew and dared


    is own underling b


    to turn against him.


    Rose''s expression wasplicated.


    She nced at Matthew, whom she didn''t recognize. She figured that he was just some insignificant person. Nheless, she hesitated. Beating someone and even breaking a few legs were minor issues.


    Killing someone was entirely different.
