Chapter 2

What Serenity had said at the time was, “If you keep beating him up like that, he’ll die!”

“So what?” Jackson peered down at the man who was laboriously struggling to get up from the ground, his gaze piercingly cold.

Serenity was taken aback. It was only then that she had a good look at the man’s face.

He had a flawlessly handsome face with a straight nose and lips that were thin but shapely. His facial features were delicate, but there was not a trace of emotion in his expressions. One could even say that his eyes were dead calm, almost as if human lives meant nothing to him at all, and he had no qualms about either taking someone else’s life or even his own life!

Serenity took a deep breath and told him, “It’s not worth losing your freedom to a scum like him.”

The man stared straight at her for a while before releasing his grip on Travis.

Knowing that he had just narrowly escaped, Travis hurried away with a face smeared with his own blood and quickly got into his car with his female companion before fleeing.

In the car, he gritted his teeth and vowed, “I’ll bring my men over and teach that b*stard a lesson!”

However, the woman beside him who had been silent all along suddenly widened her eyes as she finally realized why that man just now had seemed so familiar. She remembered how she had seen the very same man in the banquet earlier from afar, and that man was…

“Jackson Valor! That man just now was Jackson Valor!”

“Jackson Valor?!” Travis turned pale as if he’d just seen a ghost. “The richest man in Solaria? Impossible!”

“But he really did look a lot like Jackson Valor…” the woman insisted.

They stared at each other, both turning just as pale as death…
