Today, Milburn looked somewhat haggard compared to his usual triumphant demeanor. Because an hour ago, he was tormented by Edmund in the office for an hour, stepping one foot into hell, nearly losing his life. Moreover, after Edmund left, he immediately woke up his female secretary to see if he was still a man. Surprisingly, the once brave Milburn found himself no different from a eunuch. Even after taking several aphrodisiacs, it was to no avail. He went to a major hospital and sought treatment from a specialist, but the expert couldn't find anything wrong. Thus, he was completely at Edmund's mercy, with no other choice but to obey. "Mr. Milburn, your distinguished presence brings glory to the Conner family. I said I would have Merlot personally go to Phantom Group to apologize to you, why did you come yourself?" Mrs. Conner immediately got up to greet him, not daring to offend Milburn in the slightest. Arend, Brentton, and Riesling also stood up as a sign of respect. The Conner family wanted to become a material supplier for the Phantom Group, and Milburn holds significance influence. But Milburn ignored Mrs. Conner and others, walking straight towards Edmund. Merlot's heart was in her throat, she thought Milburn was about to attack Edmund, especially since it was Edmund who saved her last night from Milburn. Knowing Milburn's martial skills, she feared Edmund would end up battered and bruised. Mrs. Conner and others also thought Milburn's first action would be to teach Edmund a lesson. "What...what are you doing?" Though scared, Merlot hesitated for a moment but still stepped in front of Milburn to protect Edmund. Edmund felt warmed by Merlot's concern for him. Thud! But the next moment, Merlot was startled because Milburn actually knelt down in front of her. This scene was unbelievable to everyone except Edmund. What was going on? But what came next was even more shocking. Milburn said, "Miss Conner, I was wrong about last night. I've come specifically to apologize, hoping to receive your forgiveness. The contract for the material supplier of Phantom Group is also here. The Conner Corporation can sign the contract anytime if they are willing." "This..." Merlot was at a loss for words, thinking Edmund was bluffing, but what Edmund said turned out to be true. Mrs. Conner, Arend, Brentton, Riesling, Cathan, and Rose were all in disbelief. Bang! While everyone was puzzled about Milburn's actions, Edmund kicked Milburn to the ground, saying, "Is this how you apologize to my wife? It doesn't seem sincere." "Miss Conner, I realized my mistake." Milburn got up and knelt in front of Merlot again, repeatedly slapping himself. After Milburn's face swelled up like a pig's head, even bleeding from his nose, Edmund then asked Merlot, "Wife, are you satisfied with his apology?" "Let him stop, what's going on here?" Merlot nervously asked, unable to understand why Milburn suddenly feared Edmund so much. "For now, that's enough. This is a bit too violent and bloody. Wipe the blood off your face, and after we're done, get lost quickly. Don't scare my wife." Edmund coldly looked at Milburn. "Thank you, Mr. Dawson, thank you, Miss Conner." Milburn then stood up, took out a tissue, and cleaned the blood off his face. Mrs. Conner and others were shocked, not knowing how to react. Because things were completely different from what they expected, Milburn turned into a "pig head," and it seemed their faces were metaphorically beaten as well. But Edmund spoke up, looking towards Brentton and Riesling, "I've done what I said I would. According to the bet, it's your turn to kowtow to me." Brentton and Riesling, the siblings, looked at each other, their faces turning extremely ugly. But they didn't move, clearly not willing to kneel to Edmund. "Edmund, who do you think you are? Daring to make my son and daughter kneel? This is the Conner family, it's not your place to be arrogant!" Arend Conner angrily said. "It seems you can't accept losing." Edmund smiled, turning to Mrs. Conner, "Mrs. Conner, does the Conner Corporation still want to become a material supplier for the Phantom Group? Now, the contract is in Milburn's hands, but whether he gives it or not, I have the final say." "You have the final say? That's a big talk, but who would believe that?" Mrs. Conner obviously didn't believe it. "Mrs. Conner, it's true, our boss has ordered that whether the Conner Corporation gets the contract or not, Mr. Dawson has the final say." Milburn hastily said. He needed Edmund's help to regain his manhood, so he could only cautiously speak in favor of Edmund. Mrs. Conner's expression changed. Edmund had just been released from prison yesterday, and he didn't seem to have any background. Who would have thought that Edmund could influence the decisions of the Phantom Group? Edmund said, "Mrs. Conner, the behavior of your uncle and me last night was indeed inappropriate. However, no matter how you look at it, I am still Merlot's man. I hope you can put past grievances aside and lend a hand to the Conner family." Mrs. Conner truly was someone who would do anything for the sake of benefits, and she quickly started speaking softly to Edmund. "Mrs. Conner, I can help you secure the contract, making the Conner Corporation a material supplier for the Phantom Group. However, Brentton and Riesling must be willing to accept their loss," Edmund said indifferently. "Edmund, you dare to blackmail Mrs. Conner?" Brentton was immediately dissatisfied. "Brother, we won't kneel and kowtow. What can he do to us? If he dares to lay a hand on us, I guarantee we'll beat him into a pig's head," Riesling said, ready to fight. She was a black belt in Taekwondo and thought highly of her fighting skills. "Both of you, shut up!" However, Arend's face darkened, and he shouted at Brentton and Riesling. He knew well that in the eyes of Mrs. Conner, the interests of the family and the corporation were paramount. "Both of you, immediately kneel and kowtow to Edmund. Otherwise, the monthly allowance of ten thousand dollars will be canceled," Mrs. Conner ordered Brentton and Riesling as expected. "Grandmother..." Brentton and Riesling couldn't believe their ears. "Did you not hear me? Do I need to repeat myself?" Mrs. Conner became angry. Realizing the situation, Brentton and Riesling unwillingly went in front of Edmund, knelt, and kowtowed, then stood up with grim expressions. Clearly, they had developed a deep resentment towards Edmund. "The two of you shouldn't blame your brother-in-law. The bet was your own idea. Moreover, for the sake of family interests, you disregarded my wife's reputation and life or death. Your values are skewed, I must teach you a lesson. If your father won't teach you properly, I will," Edmund said with a smile. Arend, Brentton, and Riesling nearly choked with rage, but given the current situation, even if it caused them internal injuries, they could only keep it to themselves. "Edmund, can we sign the contract with Phantom Group now?" Arend asked Edmund. Brentton and Riesling being put in their place was also a slap in the face for him. "Of course," Edmund signaled to Milburn. Soon, Milburn brought out the contract that had been prepared in advance for Mrs. Conner to sign and stamp. After completing this, Milburn left. "Mrs. Conner, uncle, let's be frank. The Conner Corporation has become a material supplier for the Phantom Group as you wished. The favor of getting me out of prison, I have now repaid. From now on, please do not interfere with my and my wife's life, as well as my in-laws'. If you deliberately oppress us, I have plenty of ways to respond. Then, don't blame me for being unsympathetic. If you don't believe me, feel free to try," Edmund spoke loudly. "Merlot's illness, I can cure. Not only will she not die in seven days, but she will also live a long and healthy life. Of course, if I can't cure her illness and she passes away, I will adhere to our agreement and guard her grave for three years." After saying this, he called Merlot and Cathan, and Rose to leave. Mrs. Conner and Arend looked at each other but did not stop them. "Who says Merlot won't die in seven days? Are you questioning me?" At that moment, a voice saying "Boundless as the heavens" rang out, and an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk stepped in. This elderly man was Mr. Richard, a renowned figure from Everest Mountain. Mr. Richard had the appearance of an elder with youthful vigor, presenting the aura of a true master. Edmund glanced at Mr. Richard, sensing that this person was not any genuine master. He stared at Mr. Richard, activating his heavenly eye to see through him, and instantly his expression darkened. He saw that within Mr. Richard's hara, the underworld evil energy was dense, swirling like black fog. This evil energy was identical to that within Merlot. He immediately understood that the person who had afflicted Merlot with the "Blood Curse" was none other than this seemingly upright Mr. Richard. And since Merlot possessed the Phoenix Bloodline, Mr. Richard's actions were definitely malicious. Edmund also saw through Mr. Richard's cultivation level, which was at the early stage of an innate master, quite powerful. "Old Taoist, I'm the one questioning you. Are you so powerful that you help the King of Hell in writing his book of life and death? Then you shouldn't be called Mr. Richard, but rather Judge Richard!" After Edmund stopped using his heavenly eye, he mocked.
