Chapter 1659
The moment Chloe saw Damon, her heart, which had been tightly strung, gradually calmed down. It was like a
tightly–strung rubber band; its ends slowly loosened and finally came to rest with a quiet stillness that settled down
into her heart.
A strange sense of grievance welled up in her heart. Perhaps it wasn’t grievance; perhaps it was merely fragility.
The moment she saw Damon, the walls she had built around herself suddenly collapsed. She softly shut her lips and
stared at Damon for a while. The shadow she saw in his eyes grew deeper and denser, making her break free from
Stanley’s hold. She slowly started walking towards him.
“Hold on!” Stanley suddenly stretched his arm, hooked her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
The warmth radiating from Stanley felt especially tangible at this moment Her eyes trembled slightly as she
protectively placed her hand on her stomach, which was shielded by Stanley’s strong and sturdy arm.
Damon’s shadowed eyes suddenly narrowed He stepped forward and put his hand on Stanley’s shoulder. With a
hard squeeze, Damon pulled Chloe into his own embrace.c2
He had never had any tolerance for anything concerning Chloe. But now, if it weren’t for the fear of hurting Chloe,
hurting the child in her womb, or scaring her, he wouldn’t have hesitated to take a swing at Stanley.
As her nose picked up the familiar scent of Damon, Chloe clutched the front of his shirt. While she felt a sense of
security, she was also aware that, she
seemed to have upset him yet again
Stanley winced in pain, instinctively grabbing Damon’s wrist.
Neither men were known for their patience or good temper, and both were quite formidable in their own right.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat should have escalated into a confrontation eased down when Stanley saw Chloe in Damon’s embrace. He let
go of his aggressive stance, and forcefully pushed Damon’s hand away.
“How did you get here?” He barked, turning to glare at Chloe. “Did you tell him to come? Isn’t this a case of the pot
calling the kettle black? Are you here to be a hindrance or to meet your doom?!”
Stanley, in every aspect, refused to be at a disadvantage in front of Damon. If he could diminish Damon, he would
do so in every possible way
Chloe shook her head. She initially knew that Damon would handle Nate, but she hadn’t expected him to show up
here in person.
The smirk on Stanley’s face suddenly froze into a cold expression. His gaze pierced Damon. You little punk, it was
you!”
His loud cry caused the ongoing battle in the distance to momentarily pause. The deafening noise made Chloe close
one eye, and her body instinctively shrunk into Damon’s embrace
As for why Stanley was so angry…
It was likely because he had just realized that there was something off about their initial stand–off at the border. If
Nate could easily bring her in, and Damon could stand here now, it was clear that Stanley’s conflict at the border
control was unnecessary
Nate awkwardly scratched the back of his head, feeling somewhat guilty for betraying Chloe’s friend.
Chloe looked up at Damon, her eyes filled with disapproval and reproach
Damon suddenly lowered his head, meeting Chloe’s gaze head–on. The hand wrapped around her shoulder
tightened slightly. She could feel his anger rising in a straight line. Lowering her head, she avoided his gaze
Stanley was hopping mad, pointing at Damon, and cursing, “Damn you, you tricksteri Playing me for a fool
Despite the late hour, there were still many people wandering the streets. The sound of gunfire had ceased, and
one by one, they emerged from the
shadows
Seeing the three helicopters in the distance, they were beyond excited, because the emblem on the helicopters
was the most direct proof of the identity of their owner
“It’s the boss”
“Yes, the boss is here!”
As people shouted, the crowd gradually gathered around from all directions.
Nate quickly drove the car up to Damon, who, with Chloe, was the first to get in
The people here only knew that their boss had arrived, but they had never seen the face of the man who ruled over
their bleak land. Those who had hoped
to catch a glimpse of the mysterious boss were once again disappointed. All they saw was a high–end off–road
vehicle driving past them.
Stanley pointed at the vehicle, hopping madly and cursing. “Stop right there, you jerk!!”
“Boss, boss, let’s keep cool. Don’t be rash!”
The men around Stanley held onto their boss tightly, fearing that he would provoke Damon into a fight.
With three helicopters and nearly ten off–road vehicles, it seemed like they owned the border territory. Although
they were angry for being deceived, they knew that if a fight broke out, the situation wouldn’t be in their favor.
They might have been fearless in facing danger, but weren’t only those who know how to adapt can be heroes?
“Bastard, you better not fall into my hands, or I’ll strip you naked and hang you an a flagpole to dry into jerky!”

Nate was initially worried that Stanley, in his anger, would reveal Damon’s true identity. But now, it seemed like
Stanley had seen through Damon’s intentional concealment and had no intention of exposing him
“Damn it, you wait and seel!”
Unsatisfied, Stanley pulled out his gun and fired two shots at the back of the car. However, the car was clearly
modified, and extremely sturdy, with top–notch bulletproof capabilities.

When coming to this place where violence could erupt at any moment, having protective measures was a necessity.
Stanley probably knew this, and Nate could see that he was just venting his anger.
“Boss, cool down, here, have some penny candy, it’ll help you cool down!”
The men around Stanley casually pulled out a packet of penny candy and handed it to Stanley. The move was
similar to offering a cigarette
Nate was flabbergasted. What a bunch of weirdos
The man in charge of the border control approached them, warily watching Stanley and his men, and not
understanding what Nate was babbling about.
Nate turned to negotiate with them, his expression was stern, and his tone was harsh. The checkpoint officer
glanced at Stanley with a particularly disgruntled look His face turned sour as he walked away
The guys knew, their entry issue was sorted out. Glancing back, they saw Stanley sitting on the hood of the car,
angrily munching away on two big bags of penny candy, his expression and gaze still frighteningly intense.
However, after finishing off the last candy, he jumped out of the car, coldly throwing out a single word, “Let’s go!”
The guys exchanged looks. Was it.
