chapter 9 Overlord of East Dragon

After seeing Violet's reaction, Baldwin realized his emotions had gone out of control. He was worried sick about her. Of course, he felt anger toward her as well. Baldwin was frustrated that Violet still risked her life and came here when she knew it was dangerous.
But soon, he regretted unleashing his fury on Violet earlier as he couldn't afford to leave a wrong impression on Violet. So, Baldwin twitched the corner of his mouth and gave her a stiff smile, saying, "Hmm, I'm venting your anger on behalf of you."
Baldwin had already crushed Chris' other leg as he spoke. He had asked Leif Lin to investigate Chris' background and found out that this man had done many evil things and even raped countless women.
It was unimaginable to Baldwin how Chris would have harmed Violet if he had come too late. And if that happened, Baldwin would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Chris had passed out from the excruciating pain, but Baldwin was obviously not tired. He was willing to spend most of his energy to torture a man like Chris.
And so, he poured the whole bottle of red wine over Chris' head.
"Ouch!"
Chris regained his consciousness in pain. He lay on the ground, unable to move. He could only grit his teeth painfully and said, "Brat, you... are ruthless. Do you know who I am?"
Bang!
Baldwin swung the empty wine bottle in his hand on Chris' head. He inserted the half-broken, sharp wine bottle into Chris' shoulder while the other person screamed agonizingly.
The scene was so violent that Violet didn't dare to look at it.
Although she knew Baldwin was brutal, she never expected him to be savage to this extent. The way he tortured others terrified her.
Suddenly, Baldwin pulled a chair over, sat down, and told Chris, "You are not worthy enough to be known by me. However, I think I know who's the boss behind you."
Bah!
Chris spat out a mouthful of blood. He had never expected to be tortured so inhumanely. He mused, "This man... is too cold-blooded."
However, after hearing that Baldwin was an acquaintance of his boss, Chris guffawed. "Oh, how shameless of you to say that. Why would our boss be your friend? I admit defeat today, but my boss will definitely exact revenge on my behalf. A terrible fate will befall you. Your wife will be..."
Baldwin stamped his foot on Chris' mangled palm before he could finish his sentence. The sound of bones breaking was spine-chilling.
A pale-faced Violet stated, "Let's... leave quickly. We can't afford to offend Fenghao Real Estate Group."
Although she had never met the mysterious boss of Fenghao Real Estate Group, Violet had heard a thing or two about him from George.
The underground world of Haihua City was divided into two parts, the East and the West, by two people, the Overlord of East Dragon and the Overlord of West Tiger. They occupied all the gray areas in Haihua City. The Qin Group was considered a prestigious family in Haihua City.
But even so, the Qin Group did not dare to contend with East Dragon or West Tiger.
The boss behind Fenghao Real Estate Group was none other than Hayden Jiang, also known as the Overlord of East Dragon, a ruthless character who had risen to prominence in just eight years. It was said that he reached today's status by ending nearly 100 lives.
Baldwin did not get up. Instead, he lit a cigarette. "Aren't you here to discuss the project? If you fail, your grandpa will add insult to injury by firing you."
Violet felt a sense of bitterness when she heard his words. What was the use of securing this project if her life would end?
She was about to speak when the sounds of cars skidding to a stop came from outside. The endless sounds of car doors being opened and slammed shut followed.
Violet's face became ashen at this moment.
Chris laughed manically while in pain. "Haha! Prepare to die, you brat!"
In an instant, dozens of ferocious-looking men appeared at the door, each holding a steel pipe in their hands.
This scene frightened Violet, and she instinctively leaned toward Baldwin.
Baldwin remained as calm as ever. He pulled a chair over, patted it, and said, "Come, sit down and wait for the project to be signed."
Violet was at a loss for words after listening to Baldwin's words. She would have scolded him if she wasn't well-mannered. Violet thought, "Why is he still thinking about the project during a moment like this?"
But she knew that she would die anyway, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and do as she was told.
So, Violet sat on the chair, though her body couldn't stop trembling.
"If you dare to cause trouble in the project department of our Fenghao Project, you'd better give me a reason for me to let you leave this place alive."
At this moment, the crowd at the door parted in the middle to make way for a burly man to enter.
This man was in his mid-twenties, wearing a black windbreaker. A hideous scar extended from his left eye to below his cheek, making his initially handsome face sinister-looking.
Violet's face turned pale once again upon glancing at the man. Although she had never met Hayden, she had heard someone describe him before. His iconic face scarring told her that this burly man was Hayden.
The Overlord of East Dragon who could rule the underground world of Haihua City with iron fists.
At that moment, Violet knew they were going to die here. Hayden could kill two people effortlessly as the Overlord of East Dragon, and even the Qin Family would never be courageous enough to lodge a police report.
Violet looked at Baldwin Ye and apologized, "I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess."
Yes, she hated Baldwin and his identity as a rapist, but that didn't mean that she was unfeeling. After all, Baldwin had only shown up here to save her.
Baldwin turned to look at her with a stiff expression. "Honey, if we don't die today, can we register our marriage tomorrow? I feel uneasy as the days drag on without us registering our marriage."
As he spoke, he grabbed Violet's hand boldly. Her hand was cold, indicating she was petrified.
Violet wanted to break free from his hand, but Baldwin was too strong. She couldn't loosen his grip on her, so she could only let him hold her hand.
She wanted to say no, but her heart softened after seeing Baldwin's exaggerated, pitiful eyes. Thinking that they might not survive today's ordeal, she nodded. "Okay."
Baldwin grinned when he saw Violet nodding.
However, his smile didn't last long as his face slowly turned cold. He looked at Hayden. "My wife came to discuss the project, and your subordinate wanted to rape her. Is this reason good enough?"
Exasperation filled Violet's face when she heard Baldwin's remark. What kind of excuse was this? Hayden and Chris were on the same side, so Hayden wasn't really asking for a good reason to let them go.
"Mr. Jiang, kill that bastard for me." Chris raised his head with difficulty as he pleaded with Hayden.
Yet, Hayden's ferocious face had an unusual, bizarre expression. Since he entered the room, his gaze had been glued to Baldwin, and his burly figure was trembling.
"Mr. Jiang, you must exact revenge on behalf of me," Chris continued pleading.
Although Hayden was frozen in place, his title as the Overlord of East Dragon and his natural dignity and power that projected savageness were still enough to keep Violet's head lowered, not daring to stare at him.
She seemed like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Just then, Hayden finally spoke. "Weak these people up."
His voice was hoarse and low.
Hearing this, the people behind him were shocked. But still, they stepped forward and kicked those young men who had been beaten unconscious by Baldwin awake.
There was a burst of wailing after they regained consciousness, as each had several broken ribs.
"Mr. Jiang..."
"Mr. Jiang..."
…
The six of them suppressed their pain as they greeted Hayden.
Hayden's face was unusually frosty. Then, he reached out, snatched a steel pipe from one of the subordinates beside him, and swung it at one of the young men's legs.
The force he exerted was extraordinary, using all of his strength.
Bang!
The shriek and the sound of bone cracking immediately reached everyone's ears.
Hayden's action caught the young man and his subordinates off guard, and even Violet covered her mouth in shock.
Hayden didn't stop after breaking the first person's leg. Instead, he lifted the steel pipe and swung it at the second man's leg.
Crack!
Just like the other man, this young man screamed and lay down on the ground, his whole thigh bent.
"Mr... Mr. Jiang, what... what did we do wrong?"
The other four men were shocked upon seeing what happened. They dared not move and could only ask for Hayden's reason for doing so fearfully.
However, anyone who knew Hayden well would not ask this question, for Hayden did everything with a reason.
