NovelEnglishChapter 84
After Samuel ordered the renovation company to send more staff and shorten the renovation period as much as
possible, he drove off from the villa area.
Yvonne did not go to work that day so there was no need to go to the Sue family's company. However, Samuel
planned to visit the stores and take a look.
After arriving there, Manfred had finally opened for business that day though he was a little surprised when he
saw Samuel.
"You never show up on weekends. It's not because of me, is it?" Manfred smiled.
Samuel asked for a pack of cigarettes and handed one over to Manfred before saying, "What do you think? The
current Cloud City is different from that of yesteryear, right?"
Manfred nodded his head and handed the lighter to Samuel before saying, "It really is different. People don't use
their brains when doing things, especially those younger ones. They've been brainwashed by those Young and
Dangerous movies, thinking they can just go on killing sprees. These are all crimes and only those with a mental

Samuel did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Manfred used to be the overlord in Cloud City. Could he really say that he never committed any crimes? No
one in hell would believe him if he said that.
"You can keep Gareth. He might have disappointeda little, but after all these years, he should be given a
chance to provide for the elderly," Samuel said.
Manfred grunted and changed the subject. "If you need any cigarettes or alcohol, letknow in advance. I'll
prepare them for you. It's good for my business."
Samuel cocked his eyebrows. Manfred's words were intriguing. The only the would need cigarettes and
alcohol was when there was a banquet.
"You're old but still very strong. No one in Cloud City knows about this except the Skye family," Samuel said.
Manfred smiled and said, "The buyer is very mysterious indeed, but | got lucky and accidentally chanced upon a
bit of news. Don't you worry though, I didn't investigate you on purpose. For me, the more mysterious your
identity, the more interesting it is. | don't want to uncover your secret so quickly."
"Tforto go. I'll invite you when it's time." Samuel flicked the cigarette butt and hit the bullseye on the
trash can's ashtray.
Manfred admired that move tremendously. He watched Samuel drive off before muttering, "Such precise control
over his strength. Sskill he has."
Samuel drove the car and was about to call Yvonne to ask her if she needed any help. Coincidentally, the
phone rang and Samuel was stunned-it was from Lydia.
For three years, he could easily count the number of times Lydia ever called him. Every single one of those times
were requests for him to do work. Still, he did not have much work to do recently, so what was her purpose for
calling him?
"Mom."
Samuel answered the phone and heard Lydia's anxious voice, "Cover to Fortuna Street. You must be there
within ten minutes."

Lydia hung up before Samuel could ask what was going on.
Samuel was already used to it. He drove straight to Fortuna Street.
After arriving at Fortuna Street, he saw a car accident from a distance. An electric scooter fell in the middle of
the road. There was a middle-aged woman with a bloody right leg and large chunks of damaged flesh.
Meanwhile, Lydia sat there crouching and cursing.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Samuel walked to Lydia and asked.
Lydia glared at Samuel, seemingly to blSamuel for being late, and said, "This woman is trying to set up an
accident and demand compensation. You stay here and solve the problem. | have other things to do with Dad, so
I'll be leaving first."
As Lydia spoke, she went and dragged Godfrey away.
Samuel looked at the Audi's location, and then at the place where the electric scooter fell. It was a crosswalk,
and it was likely that the middle-aged woman got injured and was hit by Godfrey as she walked through the
sidewalk. Lydia alleged that the woman was setting up an accident, and her reason for calling Samuel was all too
clear-she wanted Samuel to cforward and deal with it so they could escape.
