Xavier had an ice–cold face that was pretty scary looking, and you could only see murderous vibes in
his eyes. He stared at Estelle for a while and then slowly said, “Sorry for any offense today, Mr.
Lamont!”
After that, he commanded his men, “Take Zachary and the others and leave!”
The guys next to him were stunned and asked Xavier in disbelief, “Xavier, what’s going on?”
‘Go back and withdraw everyone from Pier 14!” Xavier said only one sentence, without any
explanation, and left with a cold glance at Estelle.
The others were puzzled; why did they withdraw so abruptly?
But they didn’t dare to disobey Xavier’s orders, so they quickly carried the injured guys and followed

Jonathan’s men were also bewildered. Just now, the opposition seemed to be going all out, but now
they left without putting up a fight?
Millard frowned, “What’s going on?”
Brooks sneered, “Just bluffing!”
Jonathan didn’t say anything, just instructed, “Send the injured to the hospital, keep an eye on the pier,
and don’t let any of Austin’s goods land.” “Understood!” Brooks immediately replied.
Jonathan held Estelle’s hand, “Let’s go back!”
Estelle was lost in thought and nodded after a pause, “Okay.”
Jonathan gently squeezed her hand, “Why is it so cold?”
Estelle shook her head, “It’s fine, let’s go!”
They got into the car, and Jonathan leaned over to help Estelle fasten her seatbelt, touching her face,
“Were you scared?”
Estelle held the seatbelt and smiled thinly, “Not really, let’s go!”
Jonathan’s tone turned serious, “If something like this happens again, you must listen to me and not be
stubborn!”
Estelle nodded obediently this time, “Okay!”
The car drove towards downtown, and when they arrived at the Royal Mansion, Jonathan got out of the
car with Estelle. She turned to him, “You can go do your thing, don’t worry about me, I’m not that
scared.”
Jonathan smiled lightly, “I’ll take you upstairs!”
Estelle shook her head, “No need, I have to go see Emily. I’ll be fine going up on my own!”
Jonathan finally agreed, “Alright, call me if you need anything.”
“Okay!” Estelle waved at him and went into the elevator.

and quickly left again.
In an old, unremarkable warehouse near the pier, there was a sign that read “Big Arms Moving
Company” – a random and perfunctory company
name.
When Estelle entered, about ten shirtless guys were gathered around drinking and smoking, with some
goods piled up in the warehouse. There were only two small windows on the ceiling, so the lighting was
dim, and the smell of sweat and cheap cigarettes mixed together, filling every corner with the help of an
industrial fan in the corner.
As she walked in, someone casually asked while playing cards, “Here to check the goods or looking for
movers?”
Estelle didn’t say anything and continued walking inside.
