Chapter 1044 The Meeting
After discussing in the car, they drove to Jerry's territory.
It was a large warehouse surrounded by tall walls with barbed wire on top. At the entrance stood a giant four-
meter-long iron gate that was guarded by personnel.
Dominic showed his face briefly, and the gatekeepers allowed their car to enter.
The driver drove directly to an area outside the warehouse. From a distance, it looked like a series of warehouses.
However, upon closer inspection, the interior was extravagantly decorated as there was even a meeting room.
Beryl whispered to Colton, "When I tracked Wendy's location, it led to this place. She may still be here."
He kept his eyes dark and pursed his lips without saying anything.

Colton clasped his hands together and shook his head after a while. "Let's not act recklessly. If he allowed us to
enter, it shows that he is prepared. Our every move might very well be under surveillance right now."
After contemplating for a moment, Beryl didn't say anything further and patiently sat still.
It wasn't until the car stopped that they finally got out. The driver parked the car to the side and lit a cigarette,
paying no further attention to them.
Both factions were involved in arms dealing and were familiar with each other. Under Dominic's lead, the three of
them arrived at a spacious area that resembled a living room.
In the living room, a blond man was sitting with one leg crossed, holding a cigarette in one hand, and playing cards
with two henchmen beside him.
He casually threw down all the cards, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and waved them off. "Get out of my sight.
You're all terrible at cards. I've been winning against you all morning. This is so boring."
The henchmen naturally flattered him. "Of course, Boss. Your card skills are unmatched. We can't even begin to
compare."
Facing their flattery, Jerry derided and taunted, "I knew you'd butter me up. Now get lost! Can't you see guests have
arrived? Hurry up and get your asses off the seats! This is not where you should be sitting!"
The henchmen quickly stood up and offered their seats to the newcomers.
Jerry tidied up all the cards on the table and held them in his hand. He glanced at Dominic and smiled. "It's been a
long time since we last met. Come, have a seat. Let's play a round."
Dominic had a faint smile on his face as he sat down and said, "You should know why I'm here today."

Jerry cocked an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with a smile as he looked at Colton. He stubbed out his cigarette,
revealing a row of white teeth as he chuckled and said, "I know, I know. But coming in all aggressively doesn't
create a good atmosphere for negotiations. Let's play a game first. If you win, we can continue our discussion. How
about that?"
Dominic frowned. Jerry was well known for his exceptional card skills in their circle. Even Dominic found it difficult to
win against him.
Colton gestured for Nicole to sit in the vacant seat next to him. She initially intended to sit next to him, but to her
surprise, he pulled her onto his lap, causing her to lean against his chest.
Although they had already done everything a couple should, the intimate gesture of her sitting on Colton's lap in
front of everyone still made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
She could feel Colton's thigh getting hot under her butt, which made it difficult for her to sit still.
Just as she was about to shift her position slightly, he patted her restless bottom and whispered in her ear, "Stay still
and be good. It's not clean here. That's why I had you sit on my lap."
Nicole's face blushed slightly. She realized that she had been teased by the man unknowingly…
