Chapter 344 Nalve
“Yes, of course!” Eric hastily cried out. “I’ll leave right away!”
Ushering his subordinates with a wave of his hand, he quickly scrambled out of the house.
With a dark expression, Caspian watched as Eric fled. He could not be bothered to kill a
lowly pawn like Eric.
Thus, he spared Eric’s life and had him deliver a message to the Masseys. If they
continued to engage in their shady dealings, he would make them answer to the law!
Once that was settled, Caspian looked around Cora’s house.
It was tiny–only around 200 square feet.
However, the house was a mess. Eric and his men had smashed everything thouaoud
hands on, and the place was in shambles.
Nearly everything inside the house was broken.

Flora was crouching in a corner. Clutching her head tightly, she kept mumbling, “Don’t hit
me. Don’t hit me. I’m scared…”
“Are you alright, Flora?” Willow asked as she got down beside Flora.
She wanted to hold Flora to comfort her, but Flora was trembling in fear and dared not
look at her.
“Don’t hit me! Don’t hit me!” Flora kept repeating.
Willow’s heart ached.
Flora was an intellectually disabled young woman, but the monsters that worked for Eric
had beaten her up mercilessly.
They were entirely inhumane!
Even animals were capable of caring for others. Those men were cold–blooded murderers!
“Everything’s fine now, Flora, Your mom asked us to take you to her. We’re her friends,
Willow explained as tears pooled in her eyes.
“Mommy…” Flora cried out. A thought occurred to her, and she grew agitated.
“Where’s Mommy? I want Mommy! I want Mommy!” Flora screamed.
Cora was her entire world. She had no one but her mother!

Eric and his men had traumatized Flora. She was still terrified.
Caspian was also furious.
Brimming with hostility, he was determined to teach the Masseys a lesson.
If they tried to follow the steps of Flying Dragons, he was certainly going to wipe them out
himself!
“If
you want to see your mommy, come with us, okay?” Willow said as she took Flora’s hand.
Flora had calmed down a little, but she was still shaking fearfully. She looked pitiful. Even
the slightest movement terrified her.
“Hubby, I’ll take Flora to the hospital first, and while I’m at it, I’ll check on Madam Upton,”
Willow said to Caspian.
“Alright. Go ahead. I’ll make the arrangements at the hospital to ensure that Cora and
Flora are safe,” Caspian replied.
“Okay,” Willow said with a nod before leaving with Flora.
Flora was severely injured, too, so she needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible.
Once Willow left, Sylvia said, “Lincoln’s got news for us, Caspian.”
Caspian’s gaze sharpened.
“Let’s go,” Caspian said.
He and Sylvia left Blissville.
The Massey family had undergone a massive change.
As the family’s power and influence continued to grow, they renovated their home,
Massey
Manor.
It was now a representation of the Massey family’s lavish lifestyle.
Apart from Caspian and Willow’s Riverside Villa, Massey Manor was probably the most
extravagant residence in Southlake City.
A large team of bodyguards patrolled the compound at all times.
The Massey family made sure that security was tight. No one could enter without
permission.
Inside the living room, a woman in her 20s was lying on the couch, looking relaxed and
satisfied.
She kept barking orders to the maids beside her.

The woman was Jessica Massey, the oldest granddaughter of the Massey family. Following
the rise of the Massey family’s standing, many showed her a great deal of respect as well.
As Jessica reveled in smugness, she suddenly thought of someone–Willow.
Although the Masseys had elevated their social standing, Jessica was still inferior to
Willow. She could not even hold a candle to the latter.
That thought made Jessica seethe with rage.
Why did she have to be worse off than Willow? Sooner or later, she would become even
more powerful than Willow!
Meanwhile, the man beside Jessica was smoking an expensive cigar with a similarly self-
satisfied expression.
He was Jessica’s husband, Kevin Copeland.
His family, the Copelands, were also benefiting from the Massey family’s continued
growth. They even managed to work their way into the upper echelon of society in
Eastcove.
“Darling, our businesses keep growing. If this continues, we might be making 100 million.
dollars in profits this month! How thrilling!” Kevin declared in excitement.
He behaved agreeably around his wife. After all, it was thanks to the Masseys that the
Copelands got to where they were now.
It would be bad for Kevin and his family if he displeased Jessica.
Thus, he was always careful around her.
“It’s just 100 million dollars. What’s there to be excited about? You’re so naive and
shortsighted,” Jessica indifferently remarked as she glanced at Kevin.
She had little regard for him.
Even though she was married, men were lining up to woo her. She was a hot commodity

now.
“Yes, you’re right. It’s only 100 million dollars,” Kevin quickly agreed with a meek
expression. He dared not cross Jessica.
“That being said, some of our debtors haven’t been paying off their loans recently. If this
continues, it won’t be good for us!” Kevin said worriedly.
The Masseys owed their rapid growth to their illegal businesses.
Everything they had came from shady dealings, such as being loan sharks.
+15 BONUS
They dabbled in every line of business that made a quick buck and did not care whether it
broke the law.
“Who hasn’t paid us back yet? If they haven’t, make sure they’re taught a lesson! Let’s
see who can take a tough beating.
“Give Eric a call. Tell him to do as I said, and if anything happens, the Masseys will settle
things for him!” Jessica commanded cruelly.
The more shady the business, the more profitable it was, and giving out high–interest
loans made them a fortune!
The profits just kept rolling in. A meager ten thousand dollars could instantly turn into a
million dollars, or maybe even ten million dollars!
That was even more profitable than robbing a bank, though it came with its own set of
dangers, of course.
Still, thanks to such dubious methods, the Masseys swiftly made over a billion dollars.
Therefore, the Masseys prioritized their shady businesses a lot. It was their main source of
income. They would not allow anything to go wrong.
After hearing Jessica’s order, Kevin was apprehensive.
Were the Masseys truly that powerful?
Even though the family had been doing well for itself, they had not grown to the point
where they could do whatever they wanted in Southlake City, right?
Even Flying Dragons, which was once the local kingpin, had been annihilated as well.
