You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1685: Held Firmly by Her

On the other side.

Felix had consolidated the power of his original gang in the past few days. Although the Saunders family had officially turned to the righteous path many years ago, it didn't mean that their previous influence and prestige had disappeared. They still had a strong following.

Now, the Saunders family was under Felix's absolute authority.

The person standing in front of him at the moment was Mr. Ball, who had served the Saunders family in the past.

Mr. Ball was a figure who held sway in the underworld. His influence permeated all the gambling dens, black markets, and docks. His subordinates were spread throughout Khebury, and with just one command, he could assemble tens of thousands of people in a short amount of time.

Felix sat in his high-backed chair with an arrogant expression. "Long time no see. You're looking more and more impressive. You've been doing well all these years."

Mr. Ball showed absolute respect for the Saunders family. "Thanks to the blessings of the Old Mr. Saunders and Mr. Saunders, we have been able to develop. If Mr. Saunders needs anything from me, I will do my best to assist. I owe a great debt of gratitude to the Saunders family for saving us and giving us opportunities. Your affairs are my affairs. I would go through fire and water for you, even sacrificing my life."

Felix glanced at him disdainfully. "Don’t keep mentioning life and death so casually. First, help me protect someone discreetly.”

He handed over a photo to Mr. Ball.

In the picture was the beautiful and cold Vicki.

Mr. Ball took the photo and looked at it, stunned. He kept staring at it, unable to believe his eyes. "Vicki? She needs protection? No way. Everyone in the underworld knows her. My brothers always keep their distance from her, afraid that getting involved with her would leave them crippled.”

Felix said nothing in response.

He knew Vicki had a considerable reputation outside. He hadn't expected her to be so well-known, to the point of being exaggerated. Mr. Ball widened his eyes and looked at Felix with an uncomfortable expression.

"Protect her? Could it be that Vicki is your woman, Mr. Saunders?" Felix cleared his throat. "Yes, so what?"

was shocked, and the same expression appeared on the faces of his subordinates. They all looked at Felix as if he were an alien. Besides their shock, there was a sense of disbelief that quickly turned into endless admiration. Their eyes were practically sparkling. "Mr. Saunders, you're amazing. You can even handle Vicki. People used to talk about it, feeling that no man could conquer her. Everyone was curious and thought that Vicki couldn't possibly like men. But in the end, you succeeded. I admire you so
