Stanley Batton raised his arm, lifted his cup and invited him for a clink.
Fred Thomson immediately took his cup and clinked it with his. “Me too.” Then, he naturally drank a sip

Stanley casually glanced at his Adam’s apple that was moving up and down. Then, he brought the cup
to his lips and pretended to drink water.
Fred saw that and smiled with satisfaction. He only needed a sip of this water, there was no need for

Stanley slowly moved the cup away from his lips. He held the cup with both of his hands and looked at
him. “What is the television series that you were talking about?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFred said, “Oh… A period drama.”
After he finished his sentence, Fred started to feel his whole body burning and getting weaker… A

She immediately found her phone records and dialed his number.
However, that side of his phone was unavailable. She felt that he must be coming back soon and
waited for him patiently… However, another hour passed but he still had not returned.
She started to feel that something was wrong. Her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated. She

Xyla immediately called the people outside, “Anyone?”
In an instant, two men in black walked to her together.
A man in black asked, “Miss Xyla, may I know what are your orders?”
“Quickly go to Morning Glory on the opposite to check whether Five Batton is there. If he isn’t, check
the surveillance camera of the hospital’s entrance and the breakfast place. Search for his whereabouts,
I’m afraid that something has happened to him.” Xyla said.
He was one of the backstreet guys, he must have had a lot of enemies. Had any backstreet guy not
lived on the edge?
It was normal for them to be murdered by enemies.
The more she thought, the more she panicked.
He had helped her so many times, she did not hope for something to happen to him…
