chapter 21 It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years ===

The headquarters of Crown Commercial House was a huge four-sided courtyard. Walking through the main entrance, which had the plaque of Crown Commercial House hanging on it, one could see dozens of people in the yard. These people were either sitting or standing. They were all silent, engrossed in smoking. In the middle of the courtyard, a corpse was prominently placed. It was covered with a white cloth. On the ground next to the corpse, Amy, whose tongue had been cut out, was kneeling there. Because she had been rescued in time, although her tongue had been cut, her life was not in danger. However, in just half a day, Amy changed from a delicate woman who was like an earthly beauty to a depressed person with dull eyes. In the middle of the north room of the courtyard, in a hall called Loyalty Hall, a man in his fifties or sixties was sitting at the first eight immortals table. This man with a three-tuft goatee was in a bright yellow Chinese suit, and he was holding a string of Bodhi beads in his hand. His expression was gloomy. He was Leif, the Chairman of Crown Commercial House. Next to Leif, sat a beautiful, young woman in an emerald-green, embroidered silk cheongsam. This young woman had a pretty face, nice brows and eyes, and a voluptuous figure, with slender waist and long legs. Even when she was sitting there in a cheongsam, there was not a trace of flab. She was perfect. Her long wavy hair was casually pulled into a bun, which was a bit lazy yet somewhat uniquely elegant. She held a lady's cigarette between her fair slender fingers. The nails on her ten fingers were painted scarlet, just like a prostitute from a brothel of the last century. She looked pretty and delicious. At this time, the beautiful, young woman crossed her legs, and most of her fair and tender thighs were exposed from the slits of her cheongsam. They were dazzling under the light. She flicked the cigarette ashes and raised her eyebrows, "Leif, I think it is better to tell the Mallory family about this matter. Are you actually planning to suppress the news?" Leif rhythmically twirled the Bodhi beads that had been coated with starch and had a pure color. He paused slightly with a gloomy expression and said, "You don't understand, this matter is not that simple. If that person is really the leader of the battle corps, let alone us, even the Mallory family may not want to offend them. If we don’t handle this carefully, we might be abandoned to protect the commander." The beautiful, young woman frowned and said, "That's not true. This is Lymelathe City. Besides, we have to pay a tribute of a full eight-figure sum to the Mallory family every year. Is it possible that they will throw away such a huge benefit for nothing?" Leif smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "Nothing is impossible. After all, a steel-strong battle corps is too much of a threat to us. In front of those people, our Crown Commercial House's subordinates are no different from mere soldiers. " The beautiful young woman glanced at Leif, with a hint of contempt in her eyes. She slowly lowered her legs, stood up and said, "No matter what, Master Albert would always be your sworn brother. Now that someone had chopped off his head, dozens of our brothers outside are waiting for an instruction from you." If you really don't do something, aren't you afraid that these brothers will be disheartened? There is also Kerwin. He will be back later. When he sees Master Albert’s body, how could he not avenge his father? The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable, are you planning to stop him? " Leif gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Albert and I are as close as brothers. He had been killed, and I am also furious. But I am not only Albert's brother, I am also the Chairman of Crown Commercial House. I have to be responsible for Crown Commercial House. I have to be even more responsible for every brother. As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. No one should act rashly before thoroughly figuring out the identity of the other party. " The beautiful young woman wanted to say something more, but Leif suddenly raised his hand and stopped her, "Okay, Causey, don't say anything more." At this moment, a luxury car stopped at the gate. Kerwin got out of the car first, went through the gate with a gloomy face, and walked into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the yard, Kerwin shouted, "Uncle! Why did you let Hogan take me away from Elsa's birthday party? Why did you ask me not to get into a conflict with that Humphrey? Who is that Humphrey Haus? Do you know that that guy, Hogan, actually forced me to kowtow to Humphrey Haus! I am so infuriated!" Kerwin's voice reverberated through the entire courtyard, and even the Loyalty Hall. However, the strange thing was that the dozens of people in the yard were all looking at Kerwin at this moment, and no one uttered a word as they looked at him. Kerwin felt odd, and was about to ask when he saw Leif walking out of the Loyalty Hall. The latter said in a deep voice, "Close the door!" Hogan, who was closest to the door, turned around and closed the door in silence. At this time, Kerwin also saw the body that was placed in the middle of the courtyard, covered with a white cloth. "Is someone dead? Who is it?" The next moment, Amy, who was kneeling in front of the corpse, slowly turned her head and glanced at Kerwin. Kerwin was shocked, and a bad premonition came to his mind! He knew very well who Amy was; she was his father's lover! In Crown Commercial House, apart from his father Albert and Chairman Leif, there was probably no third person who was qualified to make Amy kneel. And now that Leif was standing there intact, it was obvious who this body was. Kerwin's eyes were wide open and he looked at everyone in disbelief, "Is my father dead?" A man walked out from the side and said in a deep voice, "Vice Chairman Albert has been killed at the dock today." "Killed by someone at the dock?" Kerwin's eyes widened, he reached out his hands suddenly, grabbed the man's collar, and asked, "Who killed him? Who dares to kill my father in Lymelathe City? How are all of you doing your work!” Hogan walked over and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Kerwin, it was Humphrey who killed Vice Chairman Albert!" "What!" Kerwin was stunned, and after a long while, he became furious and said in rage, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier that he was the enemy who killed my father! And you actually asked me to kneel down to him?" A slap was thrown out instantly and hit Hogan's face. Kerwin said in a stern voice, "I'll chop you up!" "Kerwin, stop!" Leif shouted, "I told Hogan to do this, so don't blame him." Kerwin turned around with a ferocious and puzzled face, "Why? Uncle, I don't understand!" Leif sighed, "That Humphrey Haus has an extraordinary identity. I had asked Hogan to bring you back because I was afraid that you would follow in your father's footsteps and die in his hands!" Kerwin laughed angrily and said, "Are you kidding? In Lymelathe City, except for the four major families, who in Lymelathe City would not retreat upon seeing us from the Crown Commercial House? That Humphrey Haus is just the adopted son of the Haus family. Even if he is powerful, how powerful can he be? " Leif said solemnly, "There are some situations which you don't understand. Let Flye tell you." Flye stepped forward upon hearing this. He was one of the men who had accompanied Albert to the cruise ship at the dock today. Flye's face was ghastly. Witnessing the powerful aura of that steely battle corps today made several of them uneasy. Even after half a day, they felt weak all over. Seeing Kerwin staring over, Flye swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with much difficulty, "Mr. Kerwin, at noon today, Master Albert suddenly received a call from Sister Amy, telling him that someone was bullying her on the cruise ship, so we followed Master Albert and hurried to the dock, planning to teach that arrogant rascal a lesson. Unexpectedly, Humphrey Haus turned out to be the leader of a battle corps, and three thousand armored soldiers came to the dock to greet him. Because Master Albert had shown murderous intent towards Humphrey Haus, he was beheaded by a soldier on the spot. Even Sister Amy had her tongue cut off."
