Chapter 170 "Logan, the current head of the Victor family in the West."

Miranda seemed unfazed by the name. But Jasper's reaction was quite the opposite.

"Holy crap! Him? The guy who sends shivers down the spine of both the underworld and the law, and climbed to power over a mountain of his family's bodies?"

Miranda had no memory of this person's identity, so she didn't really feel anything. But she did get the idea that he must be a pretty dangerous guy.

Jasper, on the other hand, had heard plenty of stories about him.

The Victor family was the underground king, with roots tracing all the way back to ancient times, when they established their own shadowy empire. It had been passed down through generations, each successor surviving a bloody baptism of sorts. So this Logan was clearly a force to be reckoned with, having risen to the top over countless corpses.

But such a ruthless figure had faced a financial setback in Ardenza today. Jasper couldn't help but feel amused at the thought.

Meanwhile, the auction had wrapped up.

Miranda was ready to leave. Since she didn't get what she wanted, she had no reason to stick around. Although, if it hadn't been for this guy messing up her original plan, she might have found another way to get that gemstone from Logan.

As she turned to leave, Jasper tried to catch up with her, but he barely turned around before he was tripped up and hit the ground.
