For ordinary people, the only way to open a password-protected box is naturally to unlock it with the correct password. But for Edmund, who had already become an innate master, tearing open a password-protected box was not a big deal. Amid the exclamations of the onlookers, he tore the suitcase apart, and five dead rats and several hundred dead cockroaches fell out of the blonde's suitcase, scattering all over the ground. Moreover, these dead rats and cockroaches emitted waves of foul smell, causing the onlookers to cover their noses and stand further away because it was truly disgusting. "What... What is going on?" "Haven't you realized yet? This scar-faced guy and the blonde, along with that guy dressed in a suit, are in cahoots to extort money. The rats and cockroaches, they brought them all because these dirty things have been dead for a long time, they're all rotten." "I was saying, I am also a regular customer of the Grand Hotel, how come I have never discovered such hygiene problems before." "It seems, I was an ignorant spectator before..." "These people doing such things, it's disgusting." "The Grand Hotel must have offended someone." ... Many people started discussing. Brentton, the scar-faced guy, and the blonde's faces changed. They did not expect that Edmund's arrival would break their scheme. "Wife, these people are suspected of extortion, let's call the police," Edmund said to a stunned Merlot. Merlot snapped out of it and took out her phone. But before she could dial the number, the scar-faced guy viciously pounced over, trying to snatch her phone to prevent her from calling the police. Merlot instinctively dodged. "Snatched once and you want to snatch again? I've given you some respect, haven't I?" Edmund immediately protected Merlot, blocking the scar-faced guy, and kicked him in the stomach. The scar-faced guy was directly kicked away, falling to the ground. Seeing this, Merlot felt warmth in her heart because every time something happened in these days, it was Edmund who protected her. Yet, this man, only had the name of a husband with her, but not the reality of it. Moreover, Edmund getting married to her, apart from getting released from prison early, didn't gain any benefits and even had to guard her grave for three years. "You dare to lay hands on me? I'll kill you!" The scar-faced guy got up from the ground, sliding a sharp dagger from his sleeve and stabbing towards Edmund. In front of so many people, this guy dared to use a knife, undoubtedly a desperado. "Be careful!" Merlot immediately warned Edmund. "Wife, don't worry, this kind of small fry can't hurt me." Edmund smiled at Merlot, his figure flickered, and he avoided the knife. He then grabbed the scar-faced guy's wrist and shook it, dislocating his arm, and the knife dropped to the ground. The scar-faced guy was kicked away once again, falling to the ground. Seeing this, Merlot felt somewhat reassured and was surprised by Edmund's combat ability. On the night they got married, Edmund was far from being Milburn's match. Could it be because Milburn was a descendant of a martial arts family, while these two thugs were of ordinary strength? The blonde originally wanted to take action as well, but seeing Edmund's bravery, he became somewhat hesitant. But this guy, menacingly said to Edmund, "Kid, both scar-face and I are under Kolden's employ. By injuring scar-face, you've caused big trouble." Hearing the blonde's words, Cathan, Rose, and Merlot all sucked in a breath of cold air. Kolden is a notorious tough guy under Lidio, who is extremely protective of his own, and offending him could lead to unimaginable consequences. However, Edmund found it amusing in his heart. Now, Lidio was completely under his control, not long ago he even called to beg for mercy, what does Kolden count for? He only needs to command Lidio, and wouldn't Kolden have to kneel down and beg for submission? "Cathan, Rose, Merlot, listen well. Hurry up and get five hundred thousand dollars out, and make Edmund kneel and apologize. If you really anger Kolden, it's a dead end for you." Seeing the blonde using Kolden's name, Cathan and others became afraid, and Brentton even more brazenly threatened. "Brentton, what exactly do you want to do? All this time, my parents and I have been good to you, haven't we? Do you really want to go this far?" Merlot glared at Brentton angrily. She felt her days were numbered and wanted to live a few peaceful days, but she never expected that her grandmother, uncle, and cousin would keep causing such disgusting incidents. She was originally going to call the police, but at this moment, holding her phone, she hesitated. If the police came, the hotel would be safe tonight, but the police couldn't possibly guard here all the time. If things completely soured, the hotel definitely couldn't continue operating. Therefore, she still wondered if there was a possibility for mediation. "These things, it was me who did them, so what? Have you ever been kind to me? I don't remember at all. Edmund, a son-in-law who came knocking, but last time made me and my sister kneel and admit our wrongs, do you think I would forget this debt?" Brentton sneered, "This humiliation, I want you to pay back tenfold, a hundredfold. If you don't come up with five hundred thousand dollars, I'll make sure your family can't survive in Heavenhill City. It's better you all die together. If you all pass away, the Conner family, without these naturally unlucky folks, will finally turn its luck around and rise straight to success!" "Brentton...you...how can you be so shameless..." Cathan never expected his nephew to do such a thing, and was so angry that his face turned pale. "Brentton, you think of extorting five hundred thousand dollars, that's wishful thinking. Remember this, if I made you kneel once, I can make it happen a second time." Edmund looked at Brentton, his tone turning cold. "Edmund, keep bragging. I've already asked Milburn. You just happened to catch some of his vulnerabilities at Phantom Group, and you told Portia, that's why he had to bow to you. But now, he has resigned from Phantom Group. The new marketing director of Phantom Group, named Lceman, met my sister once and was charmed by her. Do you think you still have the power to influence the cooperation between Phantom Group and Conner Corporation?" Brentton laughed heartily, "Moreover, Mr. Richard from Mount Kinefall said that you were so disrespectful to him, you will definitely be punished by heaven. But, this is good. In a few days, after Merlot dies, you won't have to guard the tomb for three years. Just be buried together! "Brentton, I've already given face to your grandmother and your father last time. This time, don't blame me for not showing mercy. You think by clinging to Kolden's thigh, you can do whatever you want? Let me tell you, even if Kolden's big brother, Vajra, comes, as long as you make trouble, I will still deal with you." Edmund knew the ins and outs of the situation and smiled lightly. With his relationship with Portia, let alone changing a marketing director, even if they changed the general manager, making Phantom Group cancel the cooperation with Conner Corporation was a matter of minutes. "Edmund, you really are bold, daring to speak so arrogantly. Wait until Kolden comes, I'll see if you still have the guts to say such words." Brentton shouted. "Fine, I'm always ready to welcome Kolden's grand entrance. But remind Kolden to bring more people, otherwise, it won't be enough for me to fight." But Edmund shrugged it off carelessly. "You won't cry until you see the coffin. Just wait and see." Brentton dropped a harsh word and was ready to leave with the scar-faced man and the blonde. "Thinking of leaving just like that?" But Edmund blocked Brentton and the three of them. "What do you want to do?" Brentton was a bit panicked inside because if they were to fight, he was not Edmund's opponent and would suffer a loss right there. "If you don't clean up these dead rats and cockroaches properly, you are not allowed to leave," Edmund said lightly. "What if we don't?" Brentton glared at Edmund. "Then each person will have a leg broken," Edmund said. "Edmund, let them go first," Cathan whispered to Edmund. Rose also gave Edmund a look. They still hoped not to escalate the situation to an irreconcilable level. "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, such people, who bully the weak and fear the strong, should be taught a lesson." Edmund still blocked Brentton and the others, not budging an inch. "Do you really think you're something? I'm leaving now. What can you do to me? If you dare to hurt me a little, I'll make you pay with your life!" Brentton cursed at Edmund, then bypassed him, striding towards the hotel's outside. Snap! But Edmund flashed in front of Brentton again, a slap landing on Brentton's face. Last time, he only made Brentton kneel and apologize for training. This time, he wanted to teach this scoundrel a long lesson.
