Chapter 815 He Owes Me

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said. “Since both of us are courageous. I won’t beat around

the bush. The person who hired us said that either you hand over your woman to us… Or. both of you

die here tonight

He glanced at Damien indifferently before continuing. But seeing how much you care for the woman in

your arms. I don’t think you’ll choose either of the first two options. So, how about I offer you a third

choice?”

The middle-aged man looked into Damien’s eyes. “If you’re willing to die here. I can spare your woman.

I won’t trouble her again and will ensure her safety. After all, her man is someone willing to sacrifice for

her

Damien narrowed his eyes. “What if I don’t choose any of the three options?”

His deep voice mixed with hostility and anger. ‘I don’t trust anyone else to take care of her. I’ve lost her

for five years, and she hasn’t fared well in my absence. I don’t trust anyone except myself. Only by

staying alive can provide the best care for her and our children!”

Damien coldly stared at the middle-aged man. ‘If you want to fight, let’s fight. If you want to kill me, just

do it. No need for all this nonsense.

Cherise, held securely in Damien’s arms, began to weep.

“Mr. Aquino, why waste your time talking to them?” The sleazy man who harassed Cherise frowned

and tried to persuade the middle-aged man. “Our client gave us so much money. We should do our job

properly!”

The middle-aged man called Mr. Aquino gave the sleazy man a cold glance. Even though we’ve taken

the client’s money, we should still have our principles! This is the rule I’ve followed all these years”

Cherise froze when she heard the surname Aquino. She quickly broke free of Damien’s embrace and

looked at Mr. Aquino in astonishment. “Are you Jarvi Aquino?”

Mr. Aquino gripped his cane and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Cherise and smirked with a

hint of mockery. “Why? Have you heard about me?’

“I have!” Cherise answered decisively. “My mother mentioned you before she passed away?”

Before Charisa Miles passed away, she recounted her experiences over the decades to Cherise. She

talked about her love and marriage with Beckham, her subsequent revenge, and even her rise to fame

in Ziphon

In Charisa Miles’ stories about Ziphon, there was a man named Jarvi Aquino.

Charisa was already confined to her sickbed at the time. She held Cherises hand and smiled. Speaking

of jarvi, it was dramatic. Not many people know I saved this well-respected underworld boss in Ziphon

Charisa paused before continuing. “Back then, he was being hunted down, covered in blood, and

collapsed next to a trash can. I found him, took him home, and gave him a second chance at life. If not

for my compassion, he wouldn’t have returned to his gang and become the revered Mr. Aquino

“He’s an interesting person. Although he always takes money for his services, he has his principles

Charisa paused before continuing, “Cherry, if you or Damien ever encounter problems in Ziphon, you

can replace Jarvi. He owes me a big favor, and I’ve never asked him to repay me!”
