Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

”This is only natural, so can I leave now?” Joshua Hughes took off his suit, which looked a bit out of place with a missing button.

”Mr. Hughes can leave, but Las Vegas has been unsettled these past few days, so please be careful.” It seems that a storm is brewing in Las Vegas, the police chief sighed deeply, the days of peace are so short-lived, now it’s all starting again.

At the entrance of the police station, Joshua Hughes sincerely thanked Liam Hamilton, ”Sir Hamilton, everything you’ve done in your life is admirable, and today you’ve extended a helping hand. I’m immensely grateful. If you ever need anything from me, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

Liam Hamilton smiled, ”If I need to use you, it means I’m in trouble, better not need it. The world is now yours, as a young man, you should cherish it, achieve something, and give back to the world. Anyway, I was only acting on someone’s behalf, you needn’t thank me.”

The old man patted Joshua Hughes on the broad shoulder, speaking slowly.

”On someone’s behalf?” He found it odd how Liam Hamilton could know about this and even come to Las Vegas to vouch for him.

There was indeed some backstory to this.

”Yes, on someone’s behalf.” After saying this, Liam Hamilton got into a car and slowly drove away.

Not far from the police station, two people stood, one of whom was Atlas Hallow.

The other had reddened eyes, was not very tall, had a crew cut, and was solidly built, looking very much like Tiger George who had just died.

If he’s not mistaken, this person should be Tiger George’s son.

”Did you invite Sir Hamilton?” Tiger George’s son should not have the clout to request Sir Hamilton, so it must have been Atlas Hallow who invited Liam Hamilton.

”No, it was my daughter.” Atlas Hallow smiled, and when he mentioned his daughter, there was a soft expression, as if the little angel living in his heart was about to fly out.

”The waves behind push the waves ahead, as the saying goes, it’s not without reason. I will remember.” Owing a favor to a four-year-old girl indeed made him feel slightly amused, not knowing how to repay such a favor, it seems even a legendary figure like Joshua Hughes can be put in a difficult situation.

This isn’t the best place to talk, so Tiger George’s son drove them back to the Parker Family home.

It was still Tiger George’s office; yesterday he had been here drinking Lyon’s kung fu tea with Tiger George, who had been sitting opposite him, but now the person with whom he had been chatting was lying in a coffin in the makeshift chapel outside.

He had turned into a speechless corpse, and such is the uncertainty of life.

Joshua Hughes had seen many bloody situations, but today, for some reason, he felt inexplicable agitation.

”Mr. Hughes, someone killed my father, and that person is also after you, so I’d like to team up with you to take that person down.” The unique shrewdness of a Lyon native showed clearly in the young man.

He was straightforward, with no beating around the bush.

Though the grief in his eyes was undeniable, he was now focused on avenging his father, stabilizing the people who had just lost their leader, managing his father’s legacy, and making the casino even bigger so that his father could rest easy.

”Mr. Hallow, we have the same enemy, Big Head Geogre controls the underground banks, and some money comes from the Mexican drug lords. You wouldn’t want your life’s work to become someone else’s money laundering tool, would you?” Edward Parker turned his gaze to Atlas Hallow, knowing that with their combined effort, taking down Big Head Geogre wouldn’t be hard.

”You don’t suspect me, do you?” Joshua Hughes gazed deeply out the window, where many were arriving from various corners of Las Vegas, all to bid farewell to George Parker.

It seemed he was well-liked in Las Vegas.

Wreaths and flower baskets piled up like mountains and oceans.

Shortly after, many received the news. Some came to mourn genuinely, some to gauge the situation, and some possibly looking to stir up trouble.

”Actually, my father called me before the incident, he told me you just left, and you both were happily chatting. He drank a bit too much tea, felt a bit of indigestion, and asked me to bring a cake when I returned later. You might not know, my father really liked cake, like a child.” Edward Parker sipped his tea, fatigue evident in his bloodshot eyes.

Tears slowly rolled down the corners of his eyes; he should have returned sooner, perhaps if he had brought the cake earlier, this wouldn’t have happened.

”Do you know who did it?” Joshua Hughes’ thick eyelashes slowly drooped, covering his deep and sharp eyes.

Men don’t like to be seen crying...

Atlas Hallow also turned his face away; after all, they were discussing the murder Joshua Hughes was involved in, so he refrained from speaking.

”There are two strong forces in Las Vegas, this was bound to happen sooner or later because someone always has to back out. It’s just that this retreat is too brutal.” Edward Parker’s hand gripped the cup as if he was about to crush the purple clay teacup.

This vendetta would definitely be avenged.

”Things might not be that simple, and as soon as Big Head Geogre is involved, the police will surely come after you. This must be resolved by the authorities now.” Joshua Hughes’ voice was low, as if pondering.

He had to keep Big Head Geogre alive because if one day Avery Jane found out her lineage and wanted to deal with him, he’d be more than happy to tie the man up for her to vent her anger as she wished.

”I must first return to the hotel, although I haven’t known your father long, our encounter was fated. On the day of the funeral, I will personally come to send him off.” Joshua Hughes personally attending was a great honor for the Parker Family.

It also indicated that Joshua Hughes was siding with the Parker Family.

Even though they had met only twice, a figure like Joshua Hughes attending the father’s funeral personally meant the Parker Family wouldn’t look too disgraced.

There were too many people wanting to mock the Parker Family now, and he judged Big Head Geogre would certainly show up that day.

He wanted to see Joshua Hughes’ attitude towards Big Head Geogre.

Seeing Joshua Hughes eager to leave, Atlas Hallow understood his urgency and let Daniel Parker take him back, staying behind himself.

”He seems to love his wife deeply.” Atlas Hallow said meaningfully, understanding Joshua Hughes’ thoughts, knowing that if Avery Jane learned of her family feud, she would definitely want to handle it herself for closure.

A man wants nothing more than to ensure his woman has no regrets in her heart... truly a deep, passionate attachment...
