big shots.

After half an hour, Dante had poured out all his thoughts about the southern region's underworld gang. Feeling somewhat uneasy after his confession, he realized Yvette was more intimidating than any influential gangster he'd met before since he'd met his fair share of It wasn't a surface-level hardness but a chilling nonchalance. Yvette seemed like a woman who could end a life with a smile. Dante had never encountered such a person before. He stood there, waiting respectfully for Yvette to speak. Yvette sat with her legs crossed, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she flicked a strand of hair behind her ear. Her tone was indifferent as she casually said only two words. Your background." Hendrick, kneeling on the ground with a broken hand, spat and neered, "That Dante is nothing but trash. A low-life from the slums. His mother abandoned him at birth, and his drug-addicted father, who also had a mistress, died years ago." Hendrick added. "He grew up in a dump and now he thinks he can rule the southern region? What a joke. Who does he think he is?"

Hendrick's words pierced Dante's heart like a knife. Dante's expression shifted immediately into one of both grimness and embarrassment. His humble beginnings were a constant source of shame he couldn't escape.

If it weren't for his utterly humble beginnings, Pentagon Gang wouldn't have missed out on their chance to rise.

Hendrick seemed to have given up now, starting to act recklessly, provocatively staring at Yvette and Jeremiah from a distance.

The next second, Yvette casually strolled over to Hendrick, hands in pockets, a slight smirk playing on her lips. "Who told you that trash from the slums can't rule the southern region?" she drawled.

Yvette's gaze held Hendrick captive, leaving him speechless. With a swift kick, she sent him sprawling, and a bone-crunching sound filled the air. After a blood-curdling yell, Hendrick lay motionless, his ribs broken under the forceful impact Dante had thought Yvette would dismiss him for being from the slums. But when Yvette stood up for him, Dante felt a sense of relief. His clenched fists loosened gradually. He was determined to prove that his past didn't dictate his future. Jeremiah's gaze was fixed on Yvette. When he saw her use the ancient combat power, he knew she was angry. Frowning, he wondered, 'What does a girl like her have to do with the slums? Perhaps it has something to do with her past. Mario watched as Hendrick lay motionless and beaten on the ground, having been assaulted by both Yvette and Jeremiah. He was about to say something when he hesitated. "Hendrick is one thing, but what about Union Gang? They're not to be trifled with, thought Mario.

Just as Mario had feared, a commotion and a bustling noise came from the entrance of the diner. Mario knew things had gone south and immediately tensed up, knowing that Union Gang had likely arrived after finding out what had happened.

Dante and the Pentagon Gang's members became extremely alen. Only Hendrick, lying half-dead on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, heard a familiar voice. Like a worthless lump, he suddenly roared, "Save me! Save me! I'm here!" As soon as he finished his plea, he fainted. Dante immediately turned to Yvette. With over 1000 gang members against them, a one-on-one fight was impossible. For now, they needed to escape with their lives. Anything else could wait.

Dante's face was grim. "Ms. Zeller, let's leave through the back door. The Union Gang must have arrived. Your men haven't shown up yet!"
