"Holy shit, is this gigolo trying to get himself killed?"
Bob's men mocked Tim. But suddenly, they were not able to laugh.
They couldn't take Tim's attacks at all.
Maia was so worried that she almost called the police in the car. However, Maia then realized that Tim
had learned to fight when she saw how nimble he was. Immediately, she got stunned.
Was this really the gigolo she knew?
Bob knew that he was in big trouble when he saw how Tim fought. He quickly stepped forward, but he
failed to rescue his men. Even he himself was subdued by Tim soon.
Tim smiled and said, "You punks want to hit me? Didn't Alexia investigate that I had served in the
army? You were no match for me. Do you understand?"
Maia was dumbfounded.
Hearing that Tim had retired from the army, Bob immediately regretted it. If he had known earlier, he
wouldn't have underestimated Tim so much.
"Well, you look like you're not willing to accept the result. OK, I can beat you to admit that you're
defeated," said Tim.
As he spoke, Tim beat the shit out of them until they were completely unable to get up. And someone
even had to keep in bed for a month.
"You know what to say to Liam."
After Tim defeated them, he shook himself and got into the car.
Maia looked at him blankly.
"Hey, silly girl!"
Tim felt that he had finally restored his image in front of Maia.
He stroked his hair and smiled, "Find me awesome, don't you?"
Maia subconsciously nodded. Then she suddenly realized that she was misled by Tim. Tim was so
triumphant. She couldn't help but say, "How smug you are! Even you defeated them, you are still a
gigolo."
"Damn it! Why am I still a gigolo? Are you blind?"
Tim didn't like the word "gigolo".
Maia pursed her lips and smiled, whispering, "Hurry up! Let's go. Otherwise, someone may call the
police."
"Don't worry. I'm just defending myself. But they are so lame."
Although Tim said this, he still drove the car out of here.
"Liam and Alexia planned this to attack us, but you beat up their men. Will our project go up in smoke?"
Maia thought about that project on the way.
"You put all your chips on Liam?"
Tim looked at Maia with a playful smile.
"But Liam is a local hoodlum here. If he doesn't agree, we won't be able to advance that project."
"Silly girl, the business is tricky. If you want to come to play in business, you can follow and learn from
me. Let's go, I'll take you to see someone."
After Tim finished speaking, he changed the direction of the car.
"Who are we going to see?"
Maia was a little uneasy. She always felt that Tim would bring her some other surprises. She could not
imagine what would happen next, nor could she predict what Tim would do.
Tim was unpredictable, like the cloud, mist, or the wind.
Sensing Maia staring at him, Tim narcissistically said, "Well, you feel that I'm very handsome, and
you're in love with me, aren't you?"
"...."
Maia hurriedly turned around.
Although Tim had some abilities, he was too narcissistic.
Maia looked at the scenery outside. Gradually, the car entered the town. Tim stopped at the entrance of
a club.
"Why do you bring me here?"
"What are you afraid of? Will I do something to you?"
Tim felt that Maia must have misunderstood him. Otherwise, why was she always defensive?
Maia was a little embarrassed by Tim's words.
She got out of the car and followed him into the club.
The club was well decorated and only members were admitted.
When she followed Tim in, Maia seemed to get to the fairyland. She was curious about everywhere.
Tim had been in contact with Maia for a long time, so he didn't feel that she was too rustic. Then Tim
smiled and said, "A cup of water here costs more than a hundred. Don't drink too much water."
"What? I won't drink anything."
What Maia said amused Tim immediately.
"I'm just joking! Why are you so simple?"
"Tim, shut up!"
Maia was so angry that she turned around and was about to leave. But Tim said, "You don't want to do
what Nicole told you? If you don't, then leave. I don't care."
"You are such a nuisance."
Maia came back angrily.
"Lead the way."
Maia knew that she was very rustic and had been nowhere. She was incomparable to Tim who was
born rich. They were totally different. But she would be angry if Tim continued to tease her like this,
wouldn't she?
She also had a temper.
Seeing that Maia got angry, Tim hurriedly said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Follow me."
Maia did not say anything but silently followed him to a private room.
Someone was already in the private room.
When Maia and Tim arrived, that man hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Tim, I'm so happy
that you're here."
"I'm glad to meet you, too. Please be seated."
As soon as Tim came to the room, he took the lead in the entire private room.
Maia looked at Tim who was sitting freely. She was impressed by his confidence and mettle.
Tim then was quite different from what he usually was.
Seeing that Maia was at a loss at the door, Tim hurriedly waved to her.
"Maia, come sit next to me."
"OK."
Maia walked over uncomfortably and sat beside him.
She smelled Tim's aura.
Seeing that Maia was obedient, that man looked at Tim and asked with a smile, "Mr. Tim, who is this..."
"My assistant, Maia. Maia, this is Luke, Liam's cousin."
Tim's introduction stunned Maia for a moment, but she quickly reacted and greeted Luke.
Luke realized that Tim was very nice to Maia. Relatively, he was also very respectful to her.
"Miss Maia, nice to meet you," said Luke smilingly.
"Alright, you can order whatever you want. Maia, help yourself."
Tim touched Maia's head and his eyes were full of care and love. Soon, everyone there understood
Maia's position in Tim's heart.
"Yes, Miss Maia. Please order whatever you want. It's my treat."
Luke's words flattered Maia.
Tim smiled and then said to Luke, "Luke, this area is under your cousin's control. I heard that you have
also helped him a lot. Once you two came out of the village to seek your fortune together. But now he
has become rich and powerful, why haven't you?"
"Just forget it."
Luke was a little depressed when he said this.
"Liam is too ruthless. He is afraid that I will fight him for the position and territory. So, he's caused too
many problems for me in the past few years. I even lost my wife because of him."
Saying this, Luke suddenly took a long gulp of wine.
Maia looked at Tim and wanted to ask something. Seeing that Tim shook his head, she immediately
shut her mouth.
Tim looked at Luke and said, "Doesn't it bother you to live so dejectedly? Or do you like to see Liam
rich and powerful, and you are like a mouse, being hated by everyone?"
"I don't, but what can I do? My men then have families now. If they help me, Liam will do harm to their
families. Liam is ruthless. Actually, I've made a great contribution to his status today. And I once
thought to fight desperately, but I still have a daughter. I can't leave her alone."
Luke seemed to have finally found someone to talk to. He complained angrily but hopelessly.
"To be honest, we all decided to split the first money we made then, but we were robbed suddenly.
What a coincidence it was! And what unexpected the most was that Liam started a dance hall not long
after. Where did he get the money?"
"Didn't you ask him?"
"I did. He told me that he borrowed it. I didn't believe it but I had no evidence. What can I do?"
Luke sighed and took another sip of wine before continuing, "Then I seemed to be cursed. I did all the
work, but I couldn't get the money. Soon, my men left me one by one. After all, they had to support their
families. I can't blame them either. That's how society works. Without money, everything is empty talk."
"Indeed. But perhaps Liam has someone to help him."
Luke paused for a while by Tim's words, then he nodded and said, "Yes, someone is helping him. That
person is very mysterious. None of us know who he is. But every time Liam encounters difficulties, he
will come to help Liam."
"Luke, if I give you financial support, do you have the ability to replace Liam?"
What Tim said immediately shocked Maia, who opened her eyes wide. Then she even subconsciously
tugged at Tim's sleeve.
Luke was completely stunned.
"Mr. Tim, are you serious?"
"Of course. Liam messed up with me and I want to teach him a lesson. My business here is legitimate,
but he dares to ask me for the protection fee. You know, I have a lot of money, but I can't bear
someone to oppress me. If you can replace him, you will be the ruler here. Besides, I will give you
three-tenths of my benefits. Anyway, Liam's business was illegal, and he will be put into jail one day.
But if you replace him and do business with me, I can help clean your business and your men. Then
you will also be a legal entrepreneur. Your daughter can show up openly and be respected by others.
Think about it."
After Tim finished speaking, Luke became silent.
Maia got surprised.
She knew that Tim was glib-tongued, but she didn't expect that Tim was a good persuader.
"Luke, Mr. Tim is really wealthy. Besides, he is retired from the military and has a lot of connections. As
long as you don't do anything illegal, you can realize your dream to get your fortune. This is a rare
opportunity. If you don't seize it, others will be happy to take this opportunity. After all, there are other
'Lukes' here, don't you think?"
Immediately, Luke's expression changed because of what Maia said.
