Shauna’s words made James tremble again. He instinctively looked toward Baron. The murderous aura emanating from Baron was so intense that James didn't even dare to look directly at him. "You... you're Murica's Godfather, Mr. Baron?" "I’m surprised you know my name." Baron descended the steps one by one, each footfall seeming to land directly on James' heart. James couldn't help but swallow. How had he managed to provoke Murica’s Godfather, Mr. Baron? James couldn't figure it out. His mind raced, trying to think of a way to escape from Baron’s grasp. Baron had been spending his days with Natalie in Ocean City, which had mellowed his temper and made him lazier, causing his usual ferocious aura to diminish. However, this didn't stop Baron from resuming his old ways. Seeing Baron descend, a subordinate quickly pulled a chair over and placed it opposite James. Baron sat down steadily and looked at James. "James, since I was able to capture you, there is naturally something I need to know from your mouth. If you’re smart, I’ll ask, and you’ll answer. Don’t lie to me. You should know, people who lie to me usually don't have good endings. And don't bother hoping the person behind you will come to save you. I can guarantee that you will die at my hands long before your backer arrives." Baron spoke slowly, his tone almost casual, but James didn't dare doubt him for a second. Cold sweat was already beading on his forehead. The people of Ocean City might not have heard of Murica’s Mr. Baron, but everyone in their international circle had.Mr. Baron was a man who feared nothing. He was decisive and ruthless, his methods cruel, and he never backed down from any dark power. It was said that Murica used to have many factions, all of whom looked down on Mr. Baron, a foreigner acting so arrogantly on their territory. But anyone who challenged Mr. Baron met a terrible end, and their factions were absorbed by him. According to legend, Mr. Baron took less than a year and a half to subdue all the factions in Murica, unifying the entire underground kingdom, which was why he was known as the Godfather. How had such a ruthless man targeted him? James couldn't understand it. He could only say, "Mr. Baron, I have never touched your business, nor have I ever provoked you. I don't know why Mr. Baron has captured me. If I have done something wrong, I beg Mr. Baron to give me a chance. I promise to make amends." Seeing him like this, Baron sneered. "Oh? You really don't know how you offended me?" When James heard this, he nearly wet himself in fear. So, I really did offend Mr. Baron? James' voice trembled as he asked, "Mr. Baron, I’m a bit slow. If I did something to offend you, please be merciful and let me go." "If it were anything else, I might have turned a blind eye and let it pass. But you shouldn't have, under any circumstances, messed with my wife." Baron's words left James completely stunned. "Mr. Baron, you’re married?" Baron’s gaze turned sharp, and James immediately realized he had misspoken. "No, no, that’s not it. I wasn't trying to pry into Mr. Baron’s privacy. I just hadn't heard the news that Mr. Baron was married. I just don't know who the esteemed lady is." James' mind raced. He had been running that business in the high seas for years. Recently, his operation on the high seas had been taken down. Could it be because Mr. Baron’s wife was among them? God help me! Which bastard was trying to get him killed? Who actually kidnapped Mr. Baron’s wife and sent her to the high seas? James wished he could turn back time. He would have investigated thoroughly. He shouldn't have asked. The moment he did, Shauna struck again with her whip. "You dared to kidnap our Madam without even knowing who she is? You must have grown a death wish." The force of the whip was not light. James almost passed out, but he bit his lip and didn't dare make a sound. He had heard that Mr. Baron hated noise the most. It was said that someone was once beaten to a bloody pulp in front of Mr. Baron and kept screaming. Mr. Baron found it noisy and had someone bring a needle and thread, sewing the man's mouth shut in front of everyone. James didn't dare test Mr. Baron’s temper. Baron saw him enduring the pain and sneered. "It seems you’ve heard stories about me. In that case, I won't waste any more words. I ask, you answer. Understood?" "Understood!" James nodded quickly.Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, but he didn't dare to make a sound. Baron nonchalantly adjusted his cuff. Oh. His wife still owed him a pair of cufflinks. Baron’s thoughts briefly drifted. He thought of Natalie, and his heart warmed. On a night like this, he was supposed to be at home with his wife and child. Instead, he was here wasting time with James. Baron suddenly found James extremely an eyesore.
