Chapter 762 Retribution (Ten)
- Chadwick Fullner spoke with great seriousness and sincerity. He knew he didn't have to tell the bald man these things, as it wasn't worth getting involved in the bald man's affairs. However, when he thought about the two young girls involved in the Luke Paisley case, even though their identities were not revealed, the psychological impact was likely profound, and their lives would likely be altered because of it. "You understand the gravity of this crime; it's not worth risking so much for a small sum of money."
- "Mr. Fullner, you..." The bald man, no longer polite, accepted the money and gave Chadwick Fullner a thumbs up, his eyes clearly moved. "Mr. Fullner, over the years I have encountered many individuals in the underworld, but few have been as honest as you. You have shown me respect and dignity, never looking down on me or holding a grudge for any past offenses. By entrusting this matter to me, you have shown trust. The words you spoke to me today have never been said to me before. I know my place as a thug, and there is a significant gap in our status, but today, I, the bald man, declare that I will consider you, Mr. Fullner, as my brother. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you in the future, I, the bald man, will not let them off lightly."
- Chadwick Fullner never anticipated that treating the bald man with respect would have such a profound impact. Perhaps those who have experienced the harsh realities of life, like the bald man, possess a deep sense of loyalty to their friends. It must be acknowledged that individuals living on the fringes of society often uphold principles of loyalty more effectively than those who preach righteousness and morality. Chadwick knew that for someone like the bald man, words spoken were promises that would be upheld.
