Goodbye, My Love

His sunglasses were now askew, awkwardly hanging from his nose.

Feeling humiliated before his subordinates, the man angrily wiped his face. "This brat dares to ambush me! Boys, teach him a lesson! Beat this son of a bitch!"

On his command, the gang of black-clad men charged forward with loud roars. Yet, Marco merely scoffed in derision, easily snagging one of their wrists and delivering a hard twist. With a swift movement of his leg, he sent the man crashing to the ground.

Pained cries filled the air.

Marco, however, remained cool, appearing as if he had merely been doing a light warm-up. Not a bead of sweat was in sight.

The man in sunglasses understood now that he had met his match.

Swallowing nervously, he questioned, "Who are you? Why are you messing with our business? Have you heard of the Cooper family? They're big shots around here! Picking a fight with them won't turn out well for you!"

He hoped that dropping the Cooper family's name would instill fear in

Marco.

But Marco's expression only became more frosty.

"The Cooper family?

Huh, you bunch don't even deserve to know my name."

The man bristled with fury, teeth gritted. "Attack, all of you! Corner him, wear him down!"

But having been floored once already, his men weren't eager to rush forward again. On the verge of an explosive outburst, the man was approached by one of his underlings, his expression stricken with fear.

He whispered hurriedly, "Boss, there's something familiar about that handsome guy... I think I saw him in a newspaper a few years ago when I was in the city."

The pupils of the man were constricted. In the antiquated mindset of the locals, appearing in the newspapers was the mark of a powerful and potentially influential person. He was someone he couldn't afford to provoke.

Unsettled, he inquired in a low voice, "Who is he?"

"It's... it's like... I think he's the CEO of Bryant Group? I saw it many years ago. Boss, it seems we might have messed with the wrong man!"

The man felt his eyelids twitch. He didn't have to be a genius to know that they couldn't afford to mess with a CEO. Even the small-town

Cooper family held sway over them, let alone a CEO with a newspaper profile.

They were but lackeys of the Cooper family. To upset such a powerful person to satisfy the Coopers would only lead to hardship and trouble for them. The man had already formulated a plan of retreat. Stepping back discreetly, he made a final threat.

"We'll let it slide this time. But old woman, don't think you're untouchable with your backer. Mark my words, when I report this to the

Cooper family, they won't leave this Land be!"
