Chapter 1685: Held Firmly by Her

On the other side.

Felix had consolidated the power of his original gang in the past few days. Although the Saunders family had officially turned to the righteous path many years ago, it didn't mean that their previous influence and prestige had disappeared. They still had a strong following.

Now, the Saunders family was under Felix's absolute authority.

The person standing in front of him at the moment was Mr. Ball, who had served the Saunders family in the past.

Mr. Ball was a figure who held sway in the underworld. His influence permeated all the gambling dens, black markets, and docks. His subordinates were spread throughout Khebury, and with just one command, he could assemble tens of thousands of people in a short amount of time.

Felix sat in his high-backed chair with an arrogant expression. "Long time no see. You're looking more and more impressive. You've been doing well all these years."

Mr. Ball showed absolute respect for the Saunders family. "Thanks to the blessings of the Old Mr. Saunders and Mr. Saunders, we have been able to develop. If Mr. Saunders needs anything from me, I will do my best to assist. I owe a great debt of gratitude to the Saunders family for saving us and giving us opportunities. Your affairs are my affairs. I would go through fire and water for you, even sacrificing my life." Felix glanced at him disdainfully. "Don't keep mentioning life and death so casually. First, help me protect someone discreetly."

He handed over a photo to Mr. Ball.

In the picture was the beautiful and cold Vicki.

Mr. Ball took the photo and looked at it, stunned. He kept staring at it, unable to believe his eyes. "Vicki? She needs protection? No way. Everyone in the underworld knows her. My brothers always keep their distance from her, afraid that getting involved with her would leave them crippled."

Felix said nothing in response.

He knew Vicki had a considerable reputation outside. He hadn't expected her to be so well-known, to the point of being exaggerated.

Mr. Ball widened his eyes and looked at Felix with an uncomfortable expression.

"Protect her? Could it be that Vicki is your woman, Mr. Saunders?"

Felix cleared his throat. "Yes, so what?"

"Ah!" Mr. Ball was shocked, and the same expression appeared on the faces of his subordinates. They all looked at Felix as if he were an alien. Besides their shock, there was a sense of disbelief that quickly turned into endless admiration. Their eyes were practically sparkling.

"Mr. Saunders, you're amazing. You can even handle Vicki. People used to talk about it, feeling that no man could conquer her. Everyone was curious and thought that Vicki couldn't possibly like men. But in the end, you succeeded. I admire you so much!!" Mr. Ball's mouth was wide open, as if he could fit an egg in it.

Felix suddenly stood up, his expression filled with thinly veiled anger. "Don't call her by her name!"

"Oh, sorry, Mr. Saunders. Should I call her sister-in-law or Mrs. Saunders?" Mr. Ball smiled profusely.

"Don't waste time with useless words! First, help me secretly protect someone," Felix brushed past Mr. Ball, "Have your brothers on duty 24/7 to protect her. Also, assemble all your manpower and be ready to follow my orders. Understand?"

"Yes, Mr. Saunders, rest assured. I'll take care of this small matter." Mr. Ball stood respectfully.

"Mr. Saunders, recently OGW has appeared in Khebury. Is it related to the tasks you assigned?" Mr. Ball became serious, his expression turning solemn. After all, it had been a while since Felix had contacted them, and this matter involved Mr. Saunders' woman. It was definitely not simple.

"Yes, it's related, and it's closely connected. Understand? Pay close attention to everything," Felix said, poking Mr. Ball's temple with his finger. "Don't worry, OGW is also our biggest enemy. Mr. Saunders, I'll contact you immediately if there's any movement," Mr. Ball assured.

"I'm leaving. Stay in touch," Felix said as he left, with the row of black-clad men respectfully watching him.

The Saunders family held a position in the gang organization as the patriarch, and no one could replace them.

After leaving, Felix drove to a secluded apartment.

He had finally found out where Vicki had been staying recently.

Although it took some time, he was not an easy person to deal with. He had finally found her trail.

Vicki didn't need to rent a place outside before because she always stayed at DeNox. He had wanted to give her countless sets of houses, villas, resorts, and even personally handed her the keys, but she didn't want any of them. She had no permanent residence and disappeared without a trace, which was Vicki's biggest characteristic.

That's why he always felt like he couldn't hold onto her.

He was afraid that one day, in the next moment, she would suddenly lose contact and never be found again.

In recent days, Vicki had disappeared without a trace from DeNox, and she must have made up her mind to handle certain matters on her own. The place she rented was likely for secretly monitoring a certain location or person; otherwise, she wouldn't have done so.

Felix arrived at Vicki's apartment and knocked on the door.

After a short moment, Vicki opened the door.

She was wearing a black silk gown, with her long hair uncombed and loose.

She exuded an extreme sexiness.

Felix hadn't seen her for a while, and the longing for her had nearly driven him crazy. He couldn't go a day without her.

Seeing her now, he held his breath, his mesmerized gaze lingering on her.

Vicki took a step back, allowing Felix to enter, and then closed the door behind him.

"Why did you replace this place? Didn't we agree not to contact each other for a while? I'll contact you when I feel it's safe," Vicki frowned unhappily.

Felix had wanted to directly ask her what she had gotten involved in.

But seeing the person he had yearned for standing in front of him, he could only say one thing, "I miss you. I've been going crazy missing you."

Vicki frowned.

She looked at her wristwatch and said, "You have forty minutes. After forty minutes, I have something to do."

After speaking, she untied her long gown in front of Felix.

Her perfectly sexy figure was exposed before Felix's eyes.

Felix gasped for air, although he had seen it countless times, every time he saw her, he would be intoxicated by her. She was too beautiful, too enchanting, and he couldn't resist her charm. But then, he snapped back to reality.

What did she mean by this?

He looked at her incredulously, "What do you mean? Do you think I went through all this trouble just to replace you for sex? Is that how you see me?"

He was infuriated.

She couldn't possibly think that, besides being driven by lust, he had no other important matters to discuss with her?!

Vicki glanced at him lightly, lifted the hem of her gown with her toe, and said, "Oh, so you don't want it?"

She picked up her clothes and prepared to put them back on.

Felix gritted his teeth in anger. "I want it!"

In the next second, he had pressed her against the door, his hot lips kissing her passionately. He couldn't resist her charm, and seeing her undress had made him lose his senses. He had forgotten what his purpose was and what he wanted to say.

All that was left was the desire to possess her.

She had him firmly in her grasp.
