chapter 4 I lost my wife and lost my troops ===

"You… you dare to hit me, you little slut!"
Begonia covered her cheek, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"There's two hundred thousands in this card. Take the card and complete the divorce procedure with Mr. Pembroke, then get lost. Don't let me see you again," Marigold said coldly.
Begonia was about to explode in anger, but when she saw the golden bank card, her whole being was dumbfounded. "Is there really two hundred thousands? Is this just an empty card, trying to trick me into signing the divorce papers?"
"There's a bank counter right next to us. The password is the last six digits of the card number. You can go and confirm it yourself." Marigold said coldly.
When Begonia stood at the bank counter and looked at the long string of numbers on the screen, her eyes widened.
"Can we go and get the divorce now?" Marigold stood behind her, ice-cold.
Begonia carefully put away the card, gave Marigold a deep look, and then sneered at Sylvan, "Let's go, divorce! Someone is willing to pay two hundred thousands for your life. I don't know where this dead poor wretch like you got so lucky."
Sylvan wanted to say something to Marigold, but she gave him a meaningful look.
Soon after, they quickly completed the divorce procedure.
Squeak!
Suddenly, five or six vans rushed out, with Alaeic jumping out of the van first. Behind him, about forty people followed, surrounding Sylvan and Marigold in an instant.
"Sylvan, you don't think you can escape, do you?" Alaeic smirked, holding onto Begonia's waist. "Before we slaughter you, we'll give you a live performance…"
When Alaeic's eyes fell on Marigold, they widened!
"Oh! Such a beautiful little sister, are you offering yourself to me? Hahaha! Brothers, I'll go first, and then you can take turns!"
The surrounding group of fierce-looking men burst into lewd laughter.
Marigold looked at Alaeic with icy cold eyes, full of disgust.
Slap!
Marigold, with a look of disgust and nausea, didn't hesitate and slapped him across the face!
"Oh! The little girl is quite spicy!" Alaeic's eyes narrowed, about to retaliate, when a commotion came from outside the crowd.
Two burly men, sweeping through the crowd, made their way over.
The two burly men stood on either side of Marigold, protecting her. "Miss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Marigold replied.
Alaeic's eyes narrowed. He had so many people, yet the other side seemed unfazed!
"Encountered a tough opponent!"
This Sylvan… when did he become acquainted with such powerful people!
However…
Alaeic sneered and shouted, "Please, Master Kieran!"
Swoosh!
A sturdy young man slowly stepped out of the van, with a long scar on his face that was shocking to behold.
"Master Kieran!"
As soon as this person appeared, all the henchmen present showed respectful expressions, including Alaeic.
The Double Flower Gang, Kieran!
The entire underground forces of Southlethaute, the top three super enforcers!
"Which foolish woman dared to hit my people?"
After Kieran appeared, he coldly scanned the surroundings. When his eyes fell on Marigold's exquisite and beautiful face, his pupils suddenly burst with intense desire.
"What a tender girl, such a beautiful face. It would be a shame if it gets scarred." Kieran licked his lips, playing with the knife in his hand, and grinned maliciously.
Alaeic chuckled and echoed, "Master Kieran, let's quickly take care of that kid Sylvan and capture the girl. Tonight, I'll have Begonia serve you too!"
"Hahaha! Cool!" Kieran laughed heartily.
Begonia stood there, her eyes filled with disbelief. She… she was actually being offered to someone else by Alaeic?!
Just as Kieran was about to make a move and grope Marigold's ample chest…
Bang!
A burly man suddenly threw a punch down with great force!
Directly… causing Kieran to spit out blood!
"Spurt!"
Kieran sprayed out a mouthful of blood, falling to the ground and looking at the burly man with eyes full of disbelief.
Silence, the scene fell completely silent!
Kieran!
The super enforcer of the Double Flower Gang, was actually punched and made to spit out blood!
The burly man slowly walked up to Kieran, took off his sunglasses…
"Master Murtagh!"
Kieran instantly recognized the man in front of him!
This was none other than Murtagh, the former boxing champion of Jimweiminster!
"Daring to have impure thoughts about Miss and Mr. Pembroke, you shall lose an arm!" Murtagh coldly shouted.
Kieran' eyes were filled with complexity. Under the horrified gazes of his subordinates, he actually broke his own arm!
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking made one's teeth ache. Kieran' forehead was covered in sweat, but he didn't dare to take a breath!
He was among the top three in the Southlethaute underground boxing scene, but in front of Murtagh… he was just a grasshopper that could be crushed at will!
Suddenly, Kieran thought of something, his eyes filled with fear. Murtagh… Murtagh just mentioned Miss and Mr. Pembroke…
Wasn't Alaeic the one who told him that Sylvan was a useless man!
How did he become Mr. Pembroke in Murtagh's words?!
And who is this Miss… who is she?
She was able to make Murtagh willingly become her bodyguard!
Kieran almost wet himself on the spot!
He was simply seeking death!
He couldn't die any more!
Kieran held his severed arm and kept kowtowing to Murtagh, "Murtagh, spare me! Miss… Mr. Pembroke, spare me! It's my fault that I didn't recognize Mr. Pembroke! It was all Alaeic! It was Alaeic who made me do it!"
Marigold didn't even want to look at this disgusting person anymore and shouted, "Get lost!"
"Yes, yes, I'll leave immediately!"
Kieran felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders and quickly rolled away.
At least he managed to save his life!
The group of henchmen who had come with Kieran scattered as well.
Joking aside, if the boss was leaving, why would they stay here and wait to die!
Alaeic and Begonia, seeing the situation was not in their favor, also wanted to follow Kieran and escape.
"Did I say you could leave?"
Sylvan's gaze swept coldly over this pair of despicable people, his voice icy!
"What… what do you want?!" Alaeic swallowed hard, trembling.
"What do I want? Heaven sees all that we do. I advise you to take responsibility for your actions and turn yourselves in to the police station." Sylvan said in a cold voice.
"Okay, okay, okay! We'll go right away!" Alaeic quickly agreed.
Seeing Alaeic's prompt agreement, Sylvan sneered, walked up to him, and patted his shoulder. "Get lost."
Alaeic gritted his teeth, dared not speak, and quickly got into the car with Begonia, fleeing as if their lives depended on it.
"Mr. Pembroke, are you just letting them go like that? They definitely won't turn themselves in," Marigold said, puzzled, after Alaeic and Begonia left.
Sylvan smiled and said to Marigold, "I don't have direct evidence to prove that they poisoned me. Of course, if they have any ulterior motives, it's their own fault."
"Ling Bruno, please thank Grandfather for me. You helped me just now, and from now on, we owe each other nothing."
Sylvan knew very well that Alaeic and Begonia, those two despicable people, would definitely not willingly turn themselves in to the police station. That's why he had made a move against Alaeic earlier!
His path to rise… would start with dealing with the Simon family!
Marigold was slightly stunned. As the daughter of the Bruno family, she didn't know how many people tried to curry favor with her family. It was the first time she had seen someone so eager to distance themselves from her.
The man in front of her was definitely not as ordinary as he appeared.
The Thirteen Ghost Needle Technique… was it the legendary needle technique!
After Marigold dropped Sylvan off at home, she sat in the car and watched his figure. She said slowly, "Uncle Victor."
"Miss, what can I do for you?" Murtagh respectfully asked.
"Help me investigate Sylvan," Marigold said with a slight flicker in her eyes.
"Miss, you're thinking the same as old Bruno. He just asked me to arrange for someone to investigate Mr. Pembroke." Murtagh smiled and said.
Marigold was slightly surprised. "Good, after you find out, give me his information as well."
"Yes!"
…
On the other side, Alaeic and Begonia hurriedly returned to the hotel.
"My dear, do we really have to turn ourselves in?" Begonia's voice trembled.
She had lost everything now and could only cling to Alaeic.
She had given the bank card back to Marigold, and as for the insurance… she had already divorced Sylvan. Whether he lived or died, it had nothing to do with her!
She had truly lost both her husband and her soldiers!
"Turn ourselves in? Bullshit! I can't believe Kieran actually ran away. I even gave him one hundred thousand to kill Sylvan! Damn it, how did this useless Sylvan have such good luck to know such a powerful person? Who is this Girl?" Alaeic cursed.
Begonia's face had turned pale with fear. "What can we do…"
Alaeic squinted his eyes and said, "Don't panic. Sylvan doesn't have any evidence. Without evidence, even if the police come, they can't do anything to me. But I want to play with that little intern until she's dead… it's just like crushing an ant!"
Hearing this, Begonia nodded thoughtfully.
What was she afraid of?
She had already divorced Sylvan. What evidence could he use to report her to the police?
Moreover, the Simon family was one of the shareholders of West City Hospital!
Alaeic even held a position as the vice dean of the hospital, relying on the family's influence.
As the vice dean, dealing with an intern… that would be a piece of cake!
Thinking of this, a malicious expression gradually appeared in Begonia's eyes. She squeezed into Alaeic's arms and said, "Darling, you must help me seek revenge. I was hurt badly just now."
Alaeic caressed Begonia and grinned lasciviously. "Don't worry, not only do I want to kill that Sylvan, but also that little girl… Once I find out everything about her, watch me make her scream! Dare to go against me, seeking death!"
Just as Alaeic was about to take off his pants, his whole body suddenly froze. He quickly looked down, his eyes filled with horror. "What… what's going on?! Why can't I lift it?!"
