    Han was a very loyal person.


    He could never leave his brother behind, nor could he bear to watch his sibling’s life crumble. The


    bond between them was unbreakable, and he knew he had to do everything in his power to help


    Upon seeing Perry in such a state, he resolved to pull his friend out of the quagmire. With


    determination in his heart, he set out to help Perry in any way he could.


    Noah was taken aback. “You know about medicine?” he asked, surprised.


    He wondered, “What kind of undercover operation is he?


    “Did he really know medicine?”


    “It’s been eight years, Han, and I can’t express my gratitude for your visit,” Perry said with a


    warm smile. “Your kindness


    means a lot to me.”


    His doctor had already given up on his legs. They were beyond repair, and there was no hope left


    for them.


    Instead, Han brought a burst of sunshine into his monotonous life.


    For years, he had been leading an incredibly miserable life, abandoned by everyone and left to fend


    for himself, all because he had offended Hugh’s nephew. And to make matters worse, after


    upsetting Hugh, no one cared about him anymore.


    It was a delight for Han toe. Having him there was a source of happiness for him.


    “I really know medicine, Han said.


    “Let’s not get into that today. You brought barbecue, right? I haven’t had meat in ages. How about


    having dinner with me?” Perry suggested, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the juicy meat.


    “Alright” Han nodded with tears in his eyes.


    Noah arrived and quickly ced everything he had bought on the table, including the barbecue,


    milk, beer, and more. He even handed clean bowls and forks to Perry’s parents, making sure they


    had everything they needed for the meal.


    Despite the stench emanating from a nearby trash station, Perry’s family enjoyed their meal with


    relish. The pungent odor was no match for their hearty appetites, and they savored each bite with


    gusto.


    Perry’s father was even more emotional. “Noah, you’re a lifesaver! Every time youe over, we


    get to have a proper feast.”


    Perry’s mother also added, “A friend in need is a friend indeed. And you, my dear, are Perry’s true


    brother”


    As they savored their meal, they couldn’t help but let out contented sighs. They were so pleased


    with their food that they even carefully wrapped up the bones they had finished and discreetly


    stowed them away.


    “Mr. and Mrs. Felicia, why are you hiding these bones?” Han frowned.


    “For boiling soup.”


    Perry’s mother beamed and eximed, “Noah is such a busy man. He can onlye visit four


    times a month. But let me tell you, before he arrives, our house ispletely bare! We’re out of oil,


    out of salt. We’re out of everything! That’s why we use these bones to make some soup to nourish


    Perry’s body”


    “These chicken bones are delicious!”


    Upon hearing this, Han immediately felt suffocated. The weight of it all seemed to press down on


    his chest.


    He had expected Perry to have a tough life, but he never could have predicted just how hard it truly


    was.


    He took a deep breath and spoke in a low, rumbling voice. These bones won’t cost you an arm and


    a leg. You can trot on over to the next vige ande back with them in a jiffy”


    Upon hearing the news, Perry’s family and Noah were left speechless. The weight of the situation


    hung heavily in the air, and a palpable tension filled the room.


    “What’s wrong” Han asked.


    “You’d be surprised to know that many years ago, Hugh’s nephew issued a death threat. He


    dispatched someone to keep a watchful eye on Perry’s family. If they even thought about leaving


    the mountain, they’d send their thug to rough them up.”


    Han heard Noah whisper in his ear, “They’re trying to trap Perry here and make him wish he was


    dead.”


    Han’s expression darkene he eximed, “This is outrageous!”


    He clent hed has fists and gurgled, his anger bubbling to the surface like a volcano. His frustration


    was palpable, radiating off


    of him in waves


    As they entered the vige, a few young men couldn’t help but stare at them. It was no wonder, with


    their striking presence.

    It turned out that those people were monitoring them.


    “What happened is done. If you’re looking to point fingers, me me for overestimating myself. I


    didn’t have the resources topete. I brought this upon myself”


    Perry smiled wryly and turned to Han, “Hey, Han, I’m sure you’ve been through a lot these


    past few years. You’ve caten now, so you should head out soon.


    Han looked at the wounds on Perry’s body and asked, “Were these new injuries also inflicted by


    them?”


    Perry’s face twisted in anger. “Han, enough with the questions,” he said sharply.


    Han fell silent, took out a cigarette, and lit it before taking a long drag. His face was gloomy, and


    the smoke he exhaled mixed with the tense atmosphere in the room.


    Whenever Noah was angry or troubled, he reached for a cigarette. The smell of nicotine served as


    both a stimnt and a sedative for him, helping him to calm down and find some peace of mind.


    The hotter his temper got, the more he craved a cool–down.


    After a minute of consideration, Han came to a decision. “Grab your things ande with me,”


    he said.


    He thought. “This is a quagmire!


    “I wouldn’t let my brother get stuck in that mess, no matter what!”


    “Han, thank you for your kindness, but I just can’t leave,” Perry said with a bitter smile.


    Despite Han’s insistence, he refused to follow him.


    He had been warned that leaving this ce would result in his parents‘ deaths at the hands of his


    enemies.


    To ensure his parents‘ safety, he had no choice but to make apromise. He weighed the options


    and decided that it was better to give in than to put them in danger. After all, familyes first.


    “Don’t worry,” said Han coolly, “I’ll help you deal with the fact that someone’s watching you


    later.”


    “Han, I appreciate you being here, but please don’t get involved. We don’t stand a chance


    against them,” Perry said with a pained expression.


    Once upon a time, he was as determined as Han to ovee those forces, feeling as though


    victory was within his grasp. With each passing moment, he grew more resolute and focused on his


    goal, never wavering in the face of adversity.


    He was willing to go to great lengths, even cutting himself to pieces, and had the audacity to take


    down Robert.


    Unfortunately, the harsh truth of it all


    1 him straight in hell.


    He had witnessed many dark sides and faced the depths of hell. The drive in his heart had long


    been extinguished, leaving behind only fear for Hugh and hisrades.


    He was already in this state, and he didn’t want to see Han follow in his footsteps.


    Han took a long drag of his cigarette and fixed Perry with a steely gaze. “Don’t worry, Perry. I’m


    not the same person I was eight years ago. Those people can’t touch me now,” he said, his voice


    cold and unyielding.


    “I’m going to make a call. You guys pack your stuff. I’m getting you out of this mess right now, said


    he with determination.


    Noah whipped out his phone and dialed Lucy. He needed her help to find a ce for Perry and his


    family to settle. With a sense of urgency, he described the situation and pleaded for her assistance.


    Lucy, always ready to lend a hand, listened patiently and promised to do everything in her power to


    make it happen.


    Perry’s parents exchanged a nce, but they were hesitant to start packing up their belongings.


    Noah gritted his teeth and said, “Han is right. Mr. and Ms. Felicia, this is no way to live. You have


    to leave!”


    After witnessing Han’s incredible power, Noah felt a renewed sense of hope for life. The


    experience was so powerful, it left him feeling invigorated and inspired


    Facing the lifeless Perry’s family, Noah couldn’t bear it any longer.


    Noah didn’t wait for Perry’s family to react before he helped them pack their clothes.

    “Noah, are you out of your mind? We couldn’t beat them before, and now we’re all injured and


    vulnerable. Fighting them now is like asking for death! Your family will be dragged into this mess


    again”


    ‘s face went through a rapid transformation. With a panicked expression, he grabbed Noah’s hand


    and pleaded with tears in his eyes. “Noah. I implore you. Thus is all my fault 1 should be the one


    bearing this punishment. Not only that. Ive also led your family to ruin. You mustrit end up like me.


    “Please, just put it down.”


    He gazed at Noah with tears in his eyes and a look of guilt on his face. He was writhing in agony.


    11:58


    Noah opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything. Han walked over and swiftly


    knocked Perry unconscious with a chop.


    Noah was stunned.


    “He’s terrified and has lost his will to fight. It’s a nuisance to stay awake.”


    Han took a long drag of his cigarette before dering, “Come on, pack your bags and lend a


    hand to Mr. and Mrs. Feliciater. I’ll help carry him out myself.”


    With that, he walked out of the greenhouse.


    Noah asked, “Where are you headed?”


    “Get someckeys over here,” said Han.


    Noah was feeling puzzled when suddenly beams of light shone over.


    In no time, thirteen intimidating young men strutted over with an air of aggression.


    As soon as Noah and Perry’s parentsid eyes on them, terror filled their faces.


    These were the gangsters who had trapped Perry’s family on the mountain. They were


    subordinates of Hugh’s nephew.


    As soon as they arrived, it was clear that trouble was brewing. These folks weren’t here to make


    friends, they were here to make mischief.


    At this moment, the young man leading the pack stared fiercely at Han. “Kid, it won’t be so easy


    for you to take him away!” His ferocity was palpable, and the tension in the air was thick enough to


    cut with a knife.


    Han stubbed out his cigarette and red at him with cold eyes. “You’re so arrogant. Did you hit


    my brother and his parents?”


    Tll give you a chance. Kneel down and kowtow to them to apologize. I’ll spare your lives!” the man


    eximed, his voice booming with authority.
