Chapter 1659
The moment Chloe saw Damon, her heart, which had been tightly strung, gradually calmed down. It
was like a tightly–strung rubber band; its ends slowly loosened and finally came to rest with a quiet
stillness that settled down into her heart.
A strange sense of grievance welled up in her heart. Perhaps it wasn’t grievance; perhaps it was
merely fragility. The moment she saw Damon, the walls she had built around herself suddenly
copsed. She softly shut her lips and stared at Damon for a while. The shadow she saw in his
eyes grew deeper and denser, making her break free from Stanley’s hold. She slowly started
walking towards him.
“Hold on!” Stanley suddenly stretched his arm, hooked her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
The warmth radiating from Stanley felt especially tangible at this moment Her eyes trembled slightly
as she protectively ced her hand on her stomach, which was shielded by Stanley’s strong and
sturdy arm.
Damon’s shadowed eyes suddenly narrowed He stepped forward and put his hand on Stanley’s
shoulder. With a hard squeeze, Damon pulled Chloe into his own embrace.c2
He had never had any tolerance for anything concerning Chloe. But now, if it weren’t for the fear of
hurting Chloe, hurting the child in her womb, or scaring her, he wouldn’t have hesitated to take a
swing at Stanley.
As her nose picked up the familiar scent of Damon, Chloe clutched the front of his shirt. While she
felt a sense of security, she was also aware that, she
seemed to have upset him yet again
Stanley winced in pain, instinctively grabbing Damon’s wrist.
Neither men were known for their patience or good temper, and both were quite formidable in their
own right. What should have escted into a confrontation eased down when Stanley saw Chloe in
Damon’s embrace. He let go of his aggressive stance, and forcefully pushed Damon’s hand away.
“How did you get here?” He barked, turning to re at Chloe. “Did you tell him toe? Isn’t this a
case of the pot calling the kettle ck? Are you here to be a hindrance or to meet your doom?!”
Stanley, in every aspect, refused to be at a disadvantage in front of Damon. If he could diminish
Damon, he would do so in every possible way
Chloe shook her head. She initially knew that Damon would handle Nate, but she hadn’t expected
him to show up here in person.
The smirk on Stanley’s face suddenly froze into a cold expression. His gaze pierced Damon. You
little punk, it was you!”
His loud cry caused the ongoing battle in the distance to momentarily pause. The deafening noise
made Chloe close one eye, and her body instinctively shrunk into Damon’s embrace
As for why Stanley was so angry…

It was likely because he had just realized that there was something off about their initial stand–off at
the border. If Nate could easily bring her in, and Damon could stand here now, it was clear that
Stanley’s conflict at the border control was unnecessary
Nate awkwardly scratched the back of his head, feeling somewhat guilty for betraying Chloe’s
friend.
Chloe looked up at Damon, her eyes filled with disapproval and reproach
Damon suddenly lowered his head, meeting Chloe’s gaze head–on. The hand wrapped around her
shoulder tightened slightly. She could feel his anger rising in a straight line. Lowering her head, she
avoided his gaze
Stanley was hopping mad, pointing at Damon, and cursing, “Damn you, you tricksteri ying me for
a fool
Despite thete hour, there were still many people wandering the streets. The sound of gunfire had
ceased, and one by one, they emerged from the
shadows
Seeing the three helicopters in the distance, they were beyond excited, because the emblem on the
helicopters was the most direct proof of the identity of their owner
“It’s the boss”
“Yes, the boss is here!”
As people shouted, the crowd gradually gathered around from all directions.
Nate quickly drove the car up to Damon, who, with Chloe, was the first to get in
The people here only knew that their boss had arrived, but they had never seen the face of the man
who ruled over their bleaknd. Those who had hoped
to catch a glimpse of the mysterious boss were once again disappointed. All they saw was a high–
end off–road vehicle driving past them.
Stanley pointed at the vehicle, hopping madly and cursing. “Stop right there, you jerk!!”
“Boss, boss, let’s keep cool. Don’t be rash!”
The men around Stanley held onto their boss tightly, fearing that he would provoke Damon into a
fight.
With three helicopters and nearly ten off–road vehicles, it seemed like they owned the border
territory. Although they were angry for being deceived, they knew that if a fight broke out, the
situation wouldn’t be in their favor. They might have been fearless in facing danger, but weren’t only
those who know how to adapt can be heroes?
“Bastard, you better not fall into my hands, or I’ll strip you naked and hang you an a gpole to dry
into jerky!”
Nate was initially worried that Stanley, in his anger, would reveal Damon’s true identity. But now, it
seemed like Stanley had seen through Damon’s intentional concealment and had no intention of
exposing him
“Damn it, you wait and seel!”
Unsatisfied, Stanley pulled out his gun and fired two shots at the back of the car. However, the car
was clearly modified, and extremely sturdy, with top–notch bulletproof capabilities.
Whening to this ce where violence could erupt at any moment, having protective measures
was a necessity. Stanley probably knew this, and Nate could see that he was just venting his anger.
“Boss, cool down, here, have some penny candy, it’ll help you cool down!”
The men around Stanley casually pulled out a packet of penny candy and handed it to Stanley. The
move was simr to offering a cigarette
Nate was bbergasted. What a bunch of weirdos
The man in charge of the border control approached them, warily watching Stanley and his men,
and not understanding what Nate was babbling about.
Nate turned to negotiate with them, his expression was stern, and his tone was harsh. The
checkpoint officer nced at Stanley with a particrly disgruntled look His face turned sour as he
walked away
The guys knew, their entry issue was sorted out. ncing back, they saw Stanley sitting on the
hood of the car, angrily munching away on two big bags of penny candy, his expression and gaze
still frighteningly intense. However, after finishing off thest candy, he jumped out of the car, coldly
throwing out a single word, “Let’s go!”
The guys exchanged looks. Was it.
time to head back already?
