Chapter 28 Alex And His Powerful Status
To put it plainly, Derek was putting on a very elaborate act.
He had played a very clever hand indeed.

He had laid his dignity aside in order to save Bob. In doing so, he had earned the respect of Bob and the other gangsters, who would regard him with a mixture of awe and gratitude from now on.
If Derek managed to save their lives today, their loyalty towards him would only increase tenfold. In the future, Derek would have no problem making them do whatever he wanted.
Alex had recognized this trick immediately. By the time he was a teenager, he was already much more adept at buying other’s support than Derek would ever be.
Alex looked at Dylan. The decision was his.
Derek might have set aside his pride and knelt for forgiveness, but if Dylan refused to spare the lives of Bob and the gangsters, then be it. Alex certainly wasn’t going to intervene and let Dylan have his way.
However, Dylan was frozen in shock.
Derek was the king of the underworld. However, he had swallowed his pride and knelt before Alex in order to save Bob Lane. If Dylan continued to insist on killing Bob, it would put Alex in a very difficult position indeed.
Of course, part of him was afraid of disrespecting Derek, too. If he didn’t give in to the king of the underworld now, he would gain himself a very powerful enemy.
And no matter how close they were, there was no way Alex could keep looking out for him.
Fortunately, Dylan was wise enough to pick his battles. Shaking his head, he said, “Forget it. My anger is nearly gone now that I’ve smashed the brick against his head.”
Alex looked at Dylan, but didn’t say anything.
Dylan turned to look at Penny. His voice full of contempt, he spat, “I’ll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau first thing tomorrow morning. If you have the gall to demand alimony from me, I’ll make your life a living hell!”
He had a house to his name, and the last thing he wanted was for Quinn to get her filthy hands on it.
She had cheated on him without remorse. She had to be delusional to think that he was going to let her have the house.
Penny’s heart skipped a beat. Looking at the man standing before, she realized that he was a complete stranger to her. She couldn’t help but feel a little frightened of him.
Penny nodded meekly. “Alright.” Now that she had been exposed for having an affair, she decided to toe the line obediently.
Even if she took him to court and sued for alimony, there was no way she could win the case. It would be extremely embarrassing for her as well.
Besides, Dylan had Alex’s support, and Alex was a fairly important man. Going up against the two of them at this point wouldn’t do her any favors.
