As the car doors opened, Valentina’s eyes widened.
“Mayor Thompson, Your Honor, to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit to my bar? Why…why didn’t you say anything in advance…?”
Valentina’s voice trembled slightly from excitement.

It was true; these influential figures had helped a lot behind the scenes, but a face–to–face meeting had never happened before.
Mayor Thompson gave Valentina a cold glance, waved distantly at me, then stood next to Director Miller.
“This time, thanks to Director Miller’s timely notification, otherwise I really wouldn’t have known that our Mr. Jaxson, on his own turf no less, suffered such a huge loss!”
Valentina’s fake smile froze on her face. Even Victor, who had been loudly complaining about his pain, wisely fell silent.
Behind them, the guys who had been so arrogant just moments ago all took a step back.
“That’s the Mayor! Is he here for Jaxson too?!”

“What incredible power does a convict who’s served three years have to alarm so many important figures?”

“Don’t worry about that now. Start thinking about how to save yourselves! I have a bad feeling that everyone who laid a hand Jaxson just now is completely finished…”
Immediately after, another shrill siren blared.

Several Bentleys drove in, one after another. An assistant first hopped out of the passenger seat to open the door, then a head of white hair popped out from the back seat.
The once noisy underground garage fell silent. I heard the sound of countless people swallowing nervously.
“The richest man is here too?! What in the world is going on?”
“Mr. Sterling shouldn’t be here for Jaxson, right? I remember Mr. Sterling previously provided a lot of financial assistance to Sister Valentina. I think Mr. Sterling must be here to back Sister Valentina up!”
Amidst the surrounding doubts, Mr. Sterling stepped out, his lips pursed. He tapped my head with his cane.
“You scoundrel!”
Valentina, who had been holding her breath, let out a long sigh of relief, almost collapsing to the ground.
“I knew it! How could Jaxson possibly know so many important people?”
“Mr. Sterling, I’m Valentina, the one you’ve been secretly helping all these years. Thank you for coming to back me up today…“‘
Victor’s strained nerves finally relaxed. He nodded and bowed along with Valentina.
“Mr. Sterling, this Jaxson not only caused trouble on our turf but also almost harmed Valentina. You’ve always given Valentina financial support, so today, you must help Valentina get revenge for this humiliation!”
With that, Victor gave me a cold look, as if he had already turned the tables.
However, the next second, the cane that had gently tapped my head was swung full circle by my grandpa and smashed hard onto
Victor’s head!
*Thud!* The resounding echo filled the garage. Victor instantly vomited blood and collapsed to the ground, unable to stand.
My grandpa coldly pulled out a silk handkerchief and wiped the blood from his cane before speaking.
“I’m disciplining my disobedient grandson. What business is it of yours, you little bug?!”
Valentina suddenly clutched her belly and collapsed to the ground.

“Jaxson, Mr. Sterling is your grandpa?!”
“That’s impossible! I never heard of this! What in the world is going on?!”
I rushed forward, fawning slightly, to help my grandpa calm down, not even sparing a glance for Valentina on the ground.
