Chapter 64: Chapter 057: The Taboo of Forty-Nine City (Part 2) Chapter 64: Chapter 057: The Taboo of Forty-Nine City (Part 2) Large families also need more than just monetary inco.
So the competition for wealth among these families is quite fierce.
Even if one wants to be a hero, one needs financial support.
Especially for families like theirs that rely on money to survive.
“No, this person’s exposure is too high.
His reputation is all over the WORLD interface, including the attention of other family mbers in Sheffield City.
We’re looking for these lesser-known people to cover up so truths.
Finding a high-profile alchemist will be detrintal to us.”
Who knows what the Taylor Family is doing?
They can’t even develop a single new dicine.
The new dicine they’re researching doesn’t have good results either.
Sothing like this cancer-curing divine dicine is what they really want.
The families in Sheffield City can’t easily go deep into the Imperial Capital to check out the truth about this person.
So they are suspicious that this “Light Under Dark” and the people of the Imperial Capital are working together to create an effect.
The secretary enters the room at this mont.
“Director Taylor, we found the person involved in the last stock incident.
He’s in Mountain County.
We got so information, but his background is not complete and sothing seems off.”
The secretary puts a paper in front of Nathan Taylor.
Jas Duckworth takes a look.
When he sees the person from the Imperial Capital, he scrolls down.
“Len Hawthorne?”
Seeing the na, Nathan Taylor’s face looks a bit terrible.
“A mber of the Hawthorne Family in the Imperial Capital?!
How could it be?”
Jas Duckworth exclaims in surprise.
After all, Nathan Taylor is from the direct line of the Taylor Family in Sheffield City and is familiar with so of the big families in the Imperial Capital.
He’s even heard of a strange thing.
There is a qualified, evil-inviting direct descendant in the Imperial Capital Hawthorne Family.
At a young age, he entered the Slaughter Squad and even beca the team captain.
He is the one they’re talking about.
“Director Taylor, this person…”
With a grim face, Nathan Taylor spoke, “We can’t ss with him.”
“Why not?”
“This guy attracts evil, there’s nothing he won’t do.”
This isn’t a joke.
This disciple of the Hawthorne family has been known as the taboo of Forty-Nine City.

Foster Family’s residence at night.
Wilbert Foster is taken away and only cos back at night.
He looks desolate, pleading with Fred Foster, “Dad, could you please speak to Yvette?
Xavier is her nephew, and she can’t ruin his future.”
Xavier shouts, “I don’t have such an aunt!”
Fred Foster looks at his eldest son and sighs, “Xavier has been spoiled by all of you.
Today, I can plead with my own family to let him go, but tomorrow, can I still support this old body to go out and beg others?”
“Dad, Xavier is still a child.
He can’t understand the seriousness of this matter.
Yvette and Chloe Stephens haven’t lost anything, but they are being sued for just a few idle words.
This is making a big deal out of a small matter.” Wilbert Foster doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal.
No matter how severe it is, it’s not as severe as his own losses.
She wouldn’t even help him, and now she’s causing him more trouble.
Wilbert Foster becos gloomier as he thinks about it.
“Big brother, what Xavier did this ti is excessive,” David Foster couldn’t help but interject.
Wilbert Foster frowns, “David, you don’t feel the sa way because this hasn’t happened to your child.”
David Foster frowns as well, “I also heard what Xavier said.
He slandered Yvette and Chloe Stephens with his words.
If it went online, wouldn’t the mother and daughter duo be exposed on the internet?
Big brother, you don’t know how terrifying online exposure can be.”
With a gloomy face, Wilbert Foster said, “But nothing happened, right?”
“Yes, nothing happened now, but what if it did?” David Foster really dislikes his elder brother’s child but doesn’t show it on his face, “It’s thanks to their quick actions that it wasn’t more than just posted on the campus network.”
“Now that the post has been deleted completely, and there are no more words, what more do the mother and daughter duo want?”
“Enough!”
Fred Foster’s face turns ashen.
“No wonder Yvette moved out to live with Chloe.
It’s because of how big brother treats her.” David Foster drops a word and takes his wife and child upstairs.
Wilbert Foster’s forehead veins throb.
“Wilbert, I can try to talk to Yvette, but if she doesn’t agree, you can’t force her.
Xavier made a mistake, and he must take responsibility for it.
This child needs a good lesson.”
“Dad, Xavier is your own grandson,” Wilbert Foster can’t understand why his father likes Chloe Stephens so much.
She can’t study well and is even more erratic in doing things.
“Let them sue.
I don’t believe they can win.
From now on, I won’t recognize you as my grandfather.” Xavier glares at Fred Foster and runs out.
Wilbert Foster has a headache and chases after him, “Xavier!”

It starts raining at night.
The girl holds an umbrella, walking down the street.
Her white shoes step on the wet ground, but not even a splatter stain lands on them, leaving everything clean and dry.
Even the falling tears from heaven didn’t have the heart to stain her.
Outside the naless dilapidated shop.
The pitter-patter of rain covers the sounds from inside.
“Dad, could you please tell us next ti you go out?
Do you know how long Brandon Weston and I have been looking for you?”
The woman’s voice is heard from inside the house.
Chloe Stephens hesitates slightly.
The edge of the umbrella lifts slightly, revealing her clean and fair face.
Her facial features look sowhat hazy in the rain and light, and her eyes are clear but piercing.
“I need to tell you when I leave the house?
Don’t I have personal freedom anymore?
I’m fine, all of you get lost.”
The man’s voice rises at this mont, “Dad, Emily is just worried about you.”
“I’m not a fragile vase, I won’t break that easily.”
Emily Lynch presses her forehead, feeling helpless with her father, “Dad, we’re doing it for your own good.
This ti, please co back with us to the Lynch Family.
Let soone else watch this broken shop.”
Old Lynch gets angry, “What did you say?
Broken shop?
This is the divine shop left by our ancestors!”
Brandon Weston: “…”
“Alright, alright, it’s a divine shop, not a broken one.
Dad, please pack up now, and let’s go back first.” Emily Lynch tries to persuade him gently.
“No.”
“…”
“Knock, knock, knock.”
The half-open door is knocked gently.
Old Lynch, who is arguing with his daughter and son-in-law, looks back and his eyes light up.
“Little girl, you’re here!
Just in ti, I’ve prepared everything for you.”
Emily Lynch and Brandon Weston exchange glances.
Standing in the rain with an umbrella, the cold and mysterious girl has a fierce beauty to her.
At first glance, one might even think a divine being from heaven has descended.
