He was asking for trouble, but it was none of their business. However, they had to make sure the boss saw them bringing the man back!

In the living room, Karen was sitting on the couch. Her face was full of gloom while she waited for her subordinates to bring Silas over.

When she heard footsteps coming from the entrance, she knew that person had arrived.

Karen lifted her eyes slightly and shot a meaningful look at her subordinate. Upon seeing it, they nodded in acknowledgment.

The subordinate walked to the entrance and sent Silas sprawling as he walked in. It was a swift kick that left him on the floor.

The two men behind Silas were startled by this action.

This man was their boss. He took orders directly from Karen. Even though their investigative skills were not top-notch, their combat abilities were off the charts. A single forceful kick and Silas found himself sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain on the ground.

"What the hell are you doing?" Silas felt a dizzy spell. He blinked several times before looking at the man in front of him.

It was not Karen. It was a sturdy man.

The man did not answer but looked at the two men behind Silas, "Take him to the boss."

"Yes, sir." The two men did not hesitate. They lifted Silas from the ground and walked toward Karen.

Karen looked at the tanned man in front of her. Having a tough life had etched lines on his face, leaving it weathered and worn.

A man she once found handsome back in her younger days now looked incredibly ugly. She suddenly felt disgusted, wondering how she ever fell for such a man!

As Karen recalled their past, she found it utterly disgusting. She rose to her feet, raised her hand, and slapped Silas across the face.

A loud smack echoed in the living room.

The smack from her made Silas' head jerk to the side.

Feeling dissatisfied, Karen thought about the troubles he had caused her. Now, everyone believed she was unfaithful and involved with many other men. She was a far cry from the image of a virtuous woman she had been portraying for over 20 years!
