Louis went upstairs, searching through each room one by one. At that moment, the door at the end of the second floor opened, and two people came out. One of them was Emmanuel, and the other person held a dagger to his throat. "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him!"

Louis turned around, staring at the guy with a cold smile and said, "If he dies, you won't make it out alive either."

"You don't need to scare me. Emmanuel is in my hands. If you dare to come closer, we'll both meet our end!" The guy tightened their grip on the knife, and blood began to trickle from Emmanuel's neck.

Louis remained silent, slowly reaching into his pocket and advancing. The guy watched as Louis approached, shouting, "What are you going to do? Don't come any closer, don't come! I... I'll really kill him!" With that, the trembling dagger in their hand pierced Emmanuel's neck slightly. Emmanuel clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound because he saw Anne right behind Louis and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the woman he admired.

Louis stopped only five steps away from Emmanuel, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a black card, holding it between two fingers. With a cold laugh, Louis waved and tossed the black card towards the person. The moment the person saw Louis taking out the black card, he couldn't stop trembling. When Louis threw the card, the person screamed and instinctively took a step back, releasing the knife that was against Emmanuel's neck.

In that split second, Anne took action. She threw a small dagger, three and a half inches long, which landed in the man's neck. The dagger was small and light, so it didn't penetrate deeply, but it caused the man to cry out in pain as he clutched his wound. Louis didn't miss the opportunity. He swiftly closed the distance in two steps and ended the man with a single stroke.

Everything happened so quickly that it took Emmanuel a while to fully comprehend what had occurred. He felt like he had a second lease on life as he looked at Louis with outstretched arms. Louis, seeing Emmanuel's reaction, chuckled and said, "Although I saved you, there's no need to thank me so much..."

But Louis hadn't finished laughing before he saw Emmanuel, with open arms, embracing Anne and saying softly, "Anne, I'm so grateful to you. It's so touching to see you appear at a moment like this. Thank you for saving me."

Louis, standing on the side, nearly couldn't believe his eyes. What kind of person was he dealing with? In his heart, he exclaimed that Emmanuel prioritized romantic interests over friendships, and he shouldn't have risked his life to save him.

Anne, who was tightly embraced by Emmanuel, blushed slightly and suddenly lifted her leg, taking two steps back. Emmanuel's face turned pale, his legs closed tightly, and an awkward smile hung on his face as he looked at Anne. He kept his mouth shut, wondering if he would ever be able to use his penis again in the future.

Louis chuckled inwardly but showed concern on his face as he asked, "Emmanuel, are you okay? Your complexion doesn't look good. Are you feeling unwell?"

Emmanuel forced a smile that was more unpleasant than crying and said, "I... I'm fine! I'll go change my clothes first!" Without waiting for Louis to respond, he stumbled into the room. After closing the door, Emmanuel massaged his lower body for a while and whispered, "Baby, stand up and let me see. Don't scare me!"

Louis teased Anne, saying, "Anne, did you go too hard just now!"

Anne blushed, gave Louis a sidelong glance, and then turned and went downstairs, but she could still hear Louis's annoying laughter behind her.

Ten minutes later, Emmanuel changed into a new set of clothes and applied some medicine to the wound on his neck, covering it with a piece of gauze.

Louis and Emmanuel sat on the side and talked as they walked outside.

Emmanuel angrily said, "Vic often opposes me in the name of the elder of the gang. Every decision I make, he tries to obstruct. It was only a matter of time before he rebelled, but I didn't expect him to choose this moment. Recently, the gang has been heavily scrutinized by the police, and I've been busy with gang affairs all day. I neglected this old fox, giving him an opportunity to act against me. I won't go easy on him."

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Louis nodded and asked, "How many of the Dragon members do you think are still loyal to you?”

Emmanuel thought for a moment and affirmed, "Maybe I've been a lousy leader, but I consider everyone in the gang as my brothers and sisters. Not to brag, but more than sixty percent of them still listen to me. That's why Vic hasn't killed me yet!"

Louis smiled and said, "That's good. As long as you're out, Vic's days are numbered!"

Emmanuel suddenly asked, "What about Emma and Emily? Are they okay?"

Louis blushed; he didn't know the status of these two sisters. Just a while ago, Jerry had informed him that the two were safe, but he didn't have all the details. Louis vaguely said, "They're fine, both of them are with me, very safe!"

Emmanuel nodded, relieved, and said excitedly, "As long as they're not in Vic's hands, I have nothing to fear from him. Now it's time for him to settle his debts!"

Louis chuckled, "And there's some exciting news - Vic's son, Vito, is in my hands!"

Vito and Emmanuel were of similar age and had known each other since childhood because of Vic's high status in the Dragon organization. However, their personalities were quite different, and they used to fight a lot when they were young, which continued as they grew older. But Emmanuel was the Dragon boss, and even with Vito's father supporting him, he didn't dare to be too arrogant in front of Emmanuel.

Hearing that Vito was in Louis's hands, Emmanuel was delighted and asked, "Impressive! Given the current situation, it's not easy to capture Vito. You don't know, Vic dotes on his only son a lot. If he finds out Vito is with you, I wonder how he'll react! How did you manage to capture him?"

Louis felt a bit embarrassed since Jerry had told him how they'd captured Vito. He replied, "Well... it's a bit complicated. I'll tell you once we get to my place."

"Alright!"

Just as Louis, Emmanuel, and the others got into the car, the phone rang. It was Jerry calling to inform Louis that he was at the hotel, and Emma and Emily were also there. Upon hearing this, Louis instructed the driver to head directly to the hotel.

Louis didn't know the status of these two sisters. Just a while ago, Jerry had informed him that the two were safe, but he didn't have all the details. Louis vaguely said, "They're fine, both of them are with me, very safe!"

Emmanuel nodded, relieved, and said excitedly, "As long as they're not in Vic's hands, I have nothing to fear from him. Now it's time for him to settle his debts!"

When they arrived at the hotel, before Louis could speak, Jerry immediately took Louis and Emmanuel to a guest room and recounted everything from start to finish. It turned out that when Vito was picking up Emma and Emily, he happened to be spotted by a member of the Ninja. Everything seemed normal initially as Vito had been regularly picking up Emily during that period. However, as the car had just left, the person suddenly realized something was amiss. Normally, when Vito came, he arrived in a single car, but this time there were two. Although they couldn't see how many people were in the car behind, they could tell it was filled with individuals based on the shape of the pressed tires. Plus, Vito's sinister smile when Emily got into the car made the person suspect a conspiracy. They quickly hailed a taxi and told the driver to follow the car in front. While in the taxi, they phoned Jerry to report the situation.

Jerry, upon hearing that it concerned Emily, didn't take it lightly and instructed the person to tail Vito and maintain constant communication. When Vito got off at the hotel, the person immediately informed Jerry. Jerry advised them not to raise suspicion and simply keep an eye on things. Subsequently, Jerry dispatched a few more individuals.

As Vito and the Emily sisters entered a private room, the person positioned themselves in the adjacent one, eavesdropping on their conversation. Later, after Vito had incapacitated the two sisters and gone up to the fifth floor, the person silently attached a black note to the back of the last person, then sat in the lobby, waiting for reinforcements.

Jerry recounted the whole story, and Louis and Emmanuel listened with beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. Louis, in particular, berated himself for being too careless and underestimating Vito. Emmanuel, after hearing the story, stood up, bowed respectfully to Jerry, and said, "Jerry, thank you so much for your help this time. Otherwise, Emily and Emma's first time would have been ruined by Vito. I thank you on their behalf."

Jerry supported Emmanuel and quickly responded, "This is what I should do."

Louis asked, "Is the person here? We should thank them properly!"

Jerry smiled and replied, "They've already left, Ninja is quite demanding. Training is exhausting, everyday life is hectic, and the risks are substantial!" Jerry took the opportunity to complain to Louis, hoping to get a pay raise!

At that moment, the door opened, and Jack and Eric walked in. Jack shouted, "Jerry, what's the meaning of your words? Are you saying that we're all just good at enjoying ourselves and don't know how to work? You're being too much!" Eric nodded in agreement with Jack's statement.

Jerry's face turned red, and he awkwardly laughed, saying, "No, I mean that everyone is working hard..." Jack interrupted him, laughing, "That's right, everyone is working hard, but the Ninja is working the hardest!"

Jerry blushed, pointing at Jack and unable to respond. Louis never discouraged these playful arguments within the gang and believed they strengthened their camaraderie. Louis told Jack, "Our arguing skills have improved a lot!" Then, he turned to Jerry and said, "If it comes to arguing, you should learn from Jack!"
