“You’re no worse than Finn Taylor? Don’t you think you’re thinking too highly of yourself? Don’t you know what you’ve done?”

“What do you know about what I’ve done? Go on then. Why don’t you tell me so we can compare who’s more vicious?”

“Fine, but I doubt you’ll win against him. If you could beat him, the Larson family would already be under your control, not his.”

“Alright, why don’t you also tell me about what he’s done?”

“When he was six, he left the Taylor family and found a beggar in Chicago. That beggar was an ordinary man off the streets, but Finn Taylor managed to train him into a skilled professional fighter that eventually became his right-hand man. Then, he looked for a woman who was working as a bar hostess at that time. Under his leadership, she opened a huge company that is now listed. He did that when he was just six. What were you doing at six? I bet you were still playing with your toys or crying.”

“Six? I was begging at six too. If someone supported me, I wouldn’t have landed up in this state.”

“You were begging on the streets at the age of six? Do you mean that you lost your family before that?”

“Have you never heard of my family? Well, it’s been years, but have you really not heard anything about it? I guess not; it’s been more than four decades. How time flies. I can’t believe more than 40 years have passed. I was already on the way to succeeding, but Finn Taylor very unfortunately ruined my plans.”

“On the way to succeeding? Why can’t I tell?”

“The Larson family had four sons, each of whom was able to inherit the family. I didn’t have a chance encounter with the youngest son of the family; I set it up and made him fall for me at first sight so that I could marry into the family. I bet he thought that he had met the right one he would spend his life with. Who would’ve thought that it was only the beginning of his nightmare? It wasn’t just his nightmare, but the entire family’s as well. Since they had four sons who could inherit the family, I had to get rid of all of them. I was the youngest daughter-in-law of the family, but I also had affairs with the second and third sons. I even deliberately let my husband find out about it so that he would turn against his brothers. And what did that lead to? I could then say that they killed their younger brother. Of course, I would’ve failed if that was all. I had to drag the eldest son in too.”

“As such, I made a pact with the second son and third son to kill my husband. At the same time, I invited the eldest son over so that he would witness the scene. Can you imagine how he felt as he saw his brothers trying to kill each other? As expected, it drew waves in the Larson family, and I formed an alliance with the second son and third son to go against the eldest son.”

“Sigh, the Larson family has only themselves to blame for their bad luck. There are two males and two females in the third generation, and as a traditional family, there’s no way the two females will end up inheriting the family. It’s obvious that one of the two males will eventually helm the family. I never liked the Larson family, so I’ll never let my son helm the family. I announced my son giving up his right to the family’s inheritance. This meant that Quince Larson became their only choice.”

“The Old Master spent so much time and effort to raise Quince Larson, but it’s such a pity that he’s a useless piece of trash. I even think that he could’ve killed the Old Master. How interesting. Someone you spent your whole life cultivating turns around and kills you. Don’t you think the Larson family is cursed? Don’t you think that I’ve succeeded based on what’s happened? Unfortunately, Finn Taylor showed up. Who would’ve thought that someone the entire city assumed to be a piece of trash actually has such an impressive family background?”

“But that’s alright—I can still drag him down now. Do you know who’s more vicious between Finn Taylor and me now? He can hold it in, but so can I. There are some things I’m capable of doing that he isn’t. Do you think he’d do what I did?”

“You’re like the devil’s incarnate! Even I wouldn’t be able to do those things, much less Finn Taylor. You’re really terrifying, and I’m starting to regret working with you. You might very well turn against me any day, and I won’t even be able to fight back. Now, I can’t help but wonder why I even got interested in you. Were you the one who let the news out to pique my interest?”

“There’s no way I’m going to answer that. You can forget about that.” Hilary Stone naturally wasn’t going to tell the truth, but Gremlin wasn’t going to pursue the matter either.

“Alright then. How are we going to collaborate?”

“Well, I’m sticking to what I know—strike within the family and make them fight against each other. I was dealing with the entire Larson family in the past, but we’re dealing with only Yvette Larson’s family now. I guess our breakthrough will come with Linda James.”

“It seems like you have everything planned out. You’re really a scary woman. I can’t help but fear for Linda James’s life.”

“Do you pity her? You can tell her everything then. You might save her life.”

“Haha, do you think I would? You already know what I’d do. You’re just using that to provoke me!”

“Since you’re not going, you better shut up and not spout nonsense. We’re birds of the same feather. Stop trying to put on an act.. It’s disgusting.”
