After all, not everyone could withstand such high-intensity training. For ordinary people, they weren’t there for strength but for excitement.

Especially in this gym, some female mercenaries were sweating profusely. Their muscles and sweat were the attraction of youth.

But at this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties got off the machine and came to Mike’s side.

Because his butler had already told him what Mike looked like, Edmund Lev recognized Mike at a glance.

Seeing this middle-aged man who came in front of him aggressively, Mike didn’t understand for a moment. What on earth was this old man doing here?

However, the old man grabbed Mike’s chest and said with a hateful expression.

“It was you who abducted my daughter!”

“Where are you hiding my daughter!? Hand her over quickly, or else, blame this old man for being impolite!”

Mike was a little confused by this old man’s sudden action, so he instantly pushed him away.

“Don’t touch me. If you have something to say, just say it!”

Feeling the power of the kick, Edmund Lev was a little shocked, because he realized that the young man in front of him was probably very strong.

Because even if Edmund was a businessman, he was still a guild leader. If he didn’t have some strength, how could he make a name for himself?

But with that push, Edmund was thrown away, unable to cope with any resistance. This made him feel that Mike wasn’t as easy as he looked.

“Tell me who your daughter is first.”

Mike’s eyes were a little impatient. He suspected that the old man in front of him was probably crazy.

Otherwise, how could a normal person casually act like this?

Edmund Lev immediately answered after hearing such a question.

“My daughter’s name is Xie Lidan Xiandi. According to my source, you’re the one who abducted my daughter here!”

“And you’ve also restricted my poor daughter’s entire freedom, you devil!”

After hearing Xie Lidan Xiandi’s name, Mike took a careful look at the old man and muttered in his heart.

Were these two really father and daughter? Because no matter how he looked at the old man, there was nothing similar between them.

Xie Li Dan Xiandi was clearly so beautiful. Even if her father wasn’t handsome, he shouldn’t be this kind of middle-aged, wretched old man.

Or, maybe her mother was more beautiful and did not inherit any of his father’s genes?

After knowing that it was the father of his shop assistant, Mike’s gaze immediately softened because no matter what, he was a family of miss Xiandi.

“I didn’t kidnap your daughter. Xie Lidan Xiandi is not my prisoner. Didn’t I see you when you came in?”

“That girl should be at the counter to settle the bill, right?”

Mike looked in the direction of the counter with some confusion and immediately found that there was no trace of Xie Lidan Xiandi there.

After all, it was work time now, and she was also the main person in charge of this competition. She shouldn’t have gone to other places at this time.

“If you don’t hand over my daughter today, I’ll tear down your shop!”

“No matter what kind of support you have, I, Edmund Lev, will definitely keep my word!”

At this moment, Mike felt that the old man in front of him was a little unreasonable. Why did Edmund have to believe that Mike was a human trafficker who abducted and sold young girls?

Because of the quarrel between the two of them, there were more and more onlookers around.

However, none of them stepped forward to explain for Mike.

After all, it was rare to see a shop owner display social status. Moreover, most of the people here still remember that when Mike first opened the store, the price was 500 gold coins for half an hour.

If Xie Lidan Xiandi hadn’t come here to lower the training fees, they wouldn’t have been able to stand such a fee.

Therefore, in their eyes, Mike was a completely wicked businessman.

Seeing that there wasn’t a single person who stood up for him to explain, Mike’s face instantly turned humiliated.

Thus, Mike directly shouted.

“Xiandi! Xiandi! Come out!”

“If you don’t come out now, this month’s salary will be gone!”

Just as Mike finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a young girl walking out of the crowd. However, this young girl covered her face with her hands, as if she was somewhat ashamed.

If one looked carefully, one would be able to see that her gaze was deliberately avoiding Edmund Lev.

Xie Lidan Xiandi held Mike in one hand and her father in the other hand as they walked towards the store manager’s office.

“There are too many people here. Let’s talk in another place.”

Mike’s eyebrows hadn’t relaxed since the three of them arrived at the office. If it weren’t for Xie Lidan Xiandi’s father, he would have beaten them up long ago.

After entering the office, Edmund Lev said to his daughter with full eyes.

“What did the owner tell you?” Edmund’s eyes were dim. “Why don’t you have anything to say?”

“My father, do you truly not trust your daughter that much?”

“I volunteered to work in the shop. The owner didn’t use any forceful means.”

After hearing his daughter’s explanation, Edmund Lev still asked in disbelief.

“My dear daughter, were you threatened by him? If you were, just tell me. I will immediately take action for you!”

Xie Lidan Xiandi purposely covered her face. She didn’t know how to explain herself.

It would be best if she could start from the beginning and explain the reason why she gradually stayed here.

Of course, she couldn’t say that she stayed there because she wanted to see handsome guys. Xie Lidan Xiandi said that everything was for the sake of the Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, she could meet all kinds of powerful people here, such as the leader of the Knights-Errant Guild and some potential entrepreneurs.

In short, she said that she did all this for the sake of the organization. Edmund Lev was very touched after listening to her.

His daughter had indeed grown up and knew that she was thinking for the organization. Moreover, he also found the huge role of this fitness equipment here.

As long as Edmund could make use of them effectively, he wanted to see who dared to say that they were just a group of businessmen and who dared to say that they were powerless!

After knowing that his daughter was not in any danger, his instincts as a businessman immediately reminded him of something else.

It seemed that there were some things that he had to fight for himself. Thinking of this, Edmund Lev immediately put on a smile.

Seeing such a smile, Mike was momentarily at a loss. After all, the smile on the old man’s face made Mike’s hair stand on end..
