<h4>Chapter 2193: Chapter 2193: An Acquaintance</h4>


    "I’ve got a mouth full of gold teeth, and you say I’m losing them? Kid, today I’m going to beat you until you’re picking your teeth off the ground!"


    Knox Michael was both angry and annoyed, to be humiliated like this.


    Swish!


    His longsword moved like a snake, but Hawthorne was no slouch either!


    Faced with this thrust, Hawthorne pped his hands and twisted forcefully to one side!


    Using the momentum, he thrust his elbow forward!


    Bang!


    Knox Michael spat out a mouthful of blood, and several teeth fell out.


    Thump, thump, thump!


    Stumbling back seven steps, Knox Michael’s eyes were filled with nothing but astonishment.


    These three people, they’re so strong?


    Where on earth did theye from?


    Didn’t expect to hit a brick wall today!


    "How’s that, didn’t I say you’d hit a brick wall? You just wouldn’t believe me," Hawthorne dusted off his clothes, speaking casually. "I’m very sorry for injuring you, that’s my bad, I apologize."


    A few simple words, directly humiliating Knox Michael!


    Leaving him with no ce to hide.


    "Master Michael, what should we do?" A henchman was already panicking.


    They were extremely terrified.


    Encountering someone smashing up the ce, and they’re so tough!


    If even Master Michael got beaten, wouldn’t stepping up be a death sentence for them?


    "Haha! Nothing much! The three of them have already suffered serious injuries, it’s just not apparent yet. If they don’t repent, they’ll die with ruptured innards in the future! Killing them would just be too easy!"


    Knox Michael suddenly burst intoughter, speaking with the demeanor of a victor, "I want them to know their death ising, yet be powerless to save themselves; that’s the best punishment."


    Standing at the door, he pointed at Julius Reed and the others, "The taste of waiting for death is unbearable."


    Having said that, he was about to leave.


    "Did I let you leave?" Julius Reed, who was receiving a massage, suddenly flicked his sleeve!


    Boom!


    A wave of energy directly blew the people at the door away!


    Before he even had time to react, Knox Michael was seized by Hawthorne!


    Pushed in front of Julius Reed.


    Such a big shot, knowing much more than Damon Reed.


    As long as they could get Knox Michael to talk, many answers could be uncovered.


    "Oh! The guests aren’t having fun? How did a fight break out all of a sudden?"


    At this moment, a voice as soft as silk came from outside the door.


    Even Julius Reed felt a bit out of ce.


    Just as the voice fell, a young woman walked in from outside the door.


    Upon seeing the scene before her, the girl was not at all surprised, instead, she walked towards Julius Reed with a smile.


    Elwood Thorneycroft?


    When Julius Reed saw the woman’s face clearly, his heart skipped a beat!


    The Elwood Thorneycroft who was once used by Devlin, the adopted daughter of Fabian Percival!


    How could she appear here?


    Became a madam?


    Became a pimp?


    If Julius Reed hadn’t kept his whereabouts secret, he might have stood up right now to ask what was going on!


    Elwood Thorneycroft previously followed Grace River and disappeared for a while.


    He didn’t expect the two to meet again in this kind of ce, in this kind of manner.


    Back then in the South China Sea, the two of them had a close past.


    "Hey, hey, hey! This beautifuldy, I’m terribly sorry, but could you please step out? There’s business going on here, could you cooperate a bit?" Hawthorne spoke very politely.


    He was a model of civility in Demarco Mount.


    "This handsome gentleman, you’re very courteous, but you see, I have something I’d like to say."


    Elwood Thorneycroft held a handkerchief, smiling as she spoke.


    "Let her speak. If you’ve got something to say, say it clearly, if not, let it out." Julius Reed intentionally spoke harshly, not wanting to expose himself.


    "In the Brothel, peoplee for enjoyment, not to fight and kill, don’t you think? There’s nothing that can’t be solved by talking it out; I don’t know how they offended you, but it must be our Gills Alliance’s mistake."


    Elwood Thorneycroft looked at Julius Reed, knowing very well that the person who truly mattered was the man in front of her.


    "Mrs. Leopold, don’t waste words with them! Call everyone, beat them up!" Knox Michael’s mouth was full of blood, speaking unclearly.


    His teeth were scattered all over, and now he probably really needed to get gold teeth.


    "Harmony is precious." Elwood Thorneycroft kicked Knox Michael, who then shut up. "I’m very sorry for bringing you an unpleasant experience. Let me first apologize."


    She turned around, picked up the ss on the table, and poured it directly into her mouth.


    Gulp, gulp, gulp!


    Half a bottle of white liquor, swallowed down.


    "Bravo!"


    Someone at the door started pping, clearly part of the Gills Alliance atmosphere team.


    Very professional.


    "Alright then, all your expenses are waived. As for the dead girl, we won’t pursue it, let’s pretend nothing happened." Elwood Thorneycroft wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, smiling as she said, "Is that alright..."


    Hawthorne’s hair stood on end!


    Feeling his body trembling.


    Too tingling!


    "Turning a big issue into a small one?" Julius Reed raised his head, looking at Elwood Thorneycroft.


    "Turning a small issue into nothing." Elwood Thorneycroft smiled seductively.


    "Alright, I have a proposal." Julius Reed stood up, pulling Elwood Thorneycroft into his arms: "You apany me, and I’ll consider nothing happened."


    He held Elwood Thorneycroft, whispering in her ear: "South China Sea..."


    Just as Elwood Thorneycroft was about to resist, upon hearing these words, she stopped.


    Noticing this reaction, Julius Reed could conclude, she was indeed Elwood Thorneycroft!


    Not a creation of faceless beings.


    Nor was she a corpse!


    The people outside were all jaw-dropped!


    Knox Michael was internally shouting ’good heavens’!


    Making a move on the bossdy?


    Is he crazy?


    Or is he not dying fast enough?


    Knox Michael was secretly delighted, this guy was digging his own grave!


    But they didn’t expect that Elwood Thorneycroft, charming as ever, would hold Julius Reed’s waist, saying coquettishly: "Release them, and I’ll be with you."


    "Release them!" Julius Reed shouted, lifting Elwood Thorneycroft and heading towards the room.


    "Forgive myck, I can only say what the hell awesome!"


    The people at the door were all stunned.


    This was the head of the Hidden Gate intel group, a woman who killed without batting an eye!


    Just like that...?


    Going in with him?


    Could it be she’s going in to killter?


    That’s what everyone was guessing.


    But soon, they realized it was fake.


    The room was filled withughter and joy.


    "Release them, and I’ll tell you everything." Elwood Thorneycroft put her hand on Julius Reed’s face, sticking her tongue out, smiling: "Lord Master, didn’t expect you toe to the Brothel for fun."


    "Feeling a need for a beating?" Julius Reed nced at her, casually throwing the fake Eliezer Pine out, pointing a finger!


    Boom!


    The corpse exploded!


    A blood-covered Damon Reed was also thrown out.


    The room only had the two of them.


    "I’m Devlin’s person, also a member of Thunderpeak Hall. Devlin died, so I followed Granny Xihua and Lucien Radcliffe." Elwood Thorneycroft sat on the bed, her right leg crossed over the other, the white leg under the split qipao, very alluring.


    "The head of Hidden Gate is Granny Xihua," finished Elwood Thorneycroft, raising her eyebrows to look at Julius Reed, "you didn’t hear wrong, it’s Granny Xihua. Her power has long since changed greatly."
