Adam sneered disdainfully, “Don’t worry. In all my life of making deals, I never go back on my word.”
Jeremy reached surreptitiously into his pocket and ended the active call. He then smiled at Adam and said, “Let’s

Jeremy handed his coat to Tommy and instructed, “Go outside and wait for me.”
Tommy expressed concern and warned earnestly, “Sir, he’s renowned for his formidable strength. Taking a hundred
