Nicholas stared straight at Yale. He said nothing for a while.
“I’ll handle grandpa’s suspicion,” said Yale while looking at him. “Nicholas, all you need to do is to kill
the people for me. Let me handle the rest!”
Nicholas was sure that he also wanted him to kill the old man, judging by his sneering tone.
Yale got Marcus to leave. Subsequently, he took out a land plan and circled the best location in the
center of Centrolis.
“This place is crowded. It’s considered the golden area.” He chuckled. “After the deal is completed, I’ll
talk to the relevant departments, and this piece of land will be yours! What do you think?”
Nicholas pursed his lips but said nothing.
Yale patted his shoulder. “Nicholas, you’re ambitious, brutal, and merciless. I like that about you!
“This is beneficial to you and me, so please think about it carefully!”
Nicholas looked at the land plan Yale’s finger pointed. The surface was huge, and the appreciation

Zephyr’s life sure was valuable!
Nicholas snickered and lifted his eyes to look at Yale. “May I ask, sir, where Mr. Z is now?”
“I heard he’s in Melorian.” Yale squinted. “Or maybe Ricos. No matter what, since the plane accident,
he went to seek grandpa’s refuge.”
“So, how do I kill him?”
“You’ll have to find out where he is exactly, N!” Yale smiled. “Why would I hire you otherwise?”
Nicholas nodded. Lifting the glass, he finished the wine.
It seemed Yale had no idea that Zephyr was in Jangasas, nor did he know that he was married.
…
Returning to Jangasas, Nicholas had an extra black suitcase with him.
There was cash in there, 20 stacks of them arranged accordingly. It was the “token of appreciation” that
Yale gave him.
Nicholas scoffed. He handed the suitcase to his men for them to take care of it.
His subordinate looked around and said softly, “N, it’s a piece of cake for us to kill Zephyr. Should we
do it right away?”
Nicholas’ eyes dimmed. He only spoke after a long time. “He’s Liam’s favorite heir. The Hamertons will
almost definitely become his.”
“But Mr. Hamerton meant to kill the old man as well…”
“Does he really think that his grandfather is old?” Nicholas lit a cigarette and let out a big puff. “The
older, the wiser. No matter how old Liam is, he’s more powerful than the young Yale!
“If we really kill Zephyr, if it comes to light in the future, Yale will definitely pin everything on me!”
Nicholas scoffed. “Given his character, there’s a high chance he hired someone else to kill Zephyr
instead of just me!”
His subordinate was rather confused.

Nicholas fell into a moment of thought and continued to mumble, “But if I tell Zephyr about it to get him
to watch out, we might become friends…”
“What do you mean, N?”
Nicholas enunciated. “We’ll play it by ear!”
After he was done, he grabbed his jacket and disappeared into the streets.
He drove aimlessly. Eventually, he pulled over in the alley behind Iris.
He was quite curious about what Zephyr was doing at the moment.
Thus, he secretly got closer to the courtyard. It was past tea time at the moment. Through the ceiling
window, he saw that there were not many customers in the shop.
Cordelia sat behind the counter, checking the account. With an account book and a calculator, she was
very serious.
Zephyr sat right next to her. He would fan her occasionally, pour her water, or massage her shoulders.
Nicholas was slightly stunned by what he saw.
