Short filmTranscript
00:05Dozens of cars are waiting for me when I leave prison
00:08Hundreds of my subordinates nod and greet me
00:10They beg me to join them again
00:11But I ignore them and walk past them to stand before my wife, Lily
00:15Tears roll down her face as she slaps me
00:18Once
00:19Twice
00:19Thrice
00:21Everyone watches in shock as I let her slap me a dozen times
00:24I hug her tightly while she sobs loudly in my arms
00:27I kiss her forehead and say softly
00:29The old me is dead from this day forth
00:31Lily leans against my chest and leaves a bite mark on my shoulder
00:35I ignore my subordinates and take her hand, saying
00:38Let's go back home
00:39I defeated thousands of men, causing havoc everywhere
00:43Everyone feared me
00:44The police arrested me on my wedding day
00:47Lily cried her heart out in her wedding dress
00:49I understood then that power was useless if I couldn't protect my family
00:52Her crying face haunted my thoughts while I was in jail
00:56I silently swore that I would quit
00:58Lily had a tough life in the last few years
01:00She refuses Emperor Group's money because she wants me to cut ties with my past
01:04But no one's willing to hire me because I had served time in jail
01:08She sells the diamond ring I gave her
01:10We buy a van and do deliveries
01:12Life is tough, but we're happy
01:15Lily gets pregnant, thinking of being a father makes me ecstatic
01:18One day, Lily's water breaks during a delivery
01:21I rush her to the hospital
01:23When we reach a junction, a BMW tries to force its way into our lane
01:28Normally, I'd let the car merge into my lane
01:30But Lily is in labor
01:32Every second is precious
01:33The light is turning red
01:35I have to wait 2 minutes if I yield to the BMW
01:38Everyone knows how tough it is to wait for the green light
01:41I slam my foot on the accelerator
01:43The BMW refuses to yield and forces its way into my lane
01:47It continuously honks at me, wanting me to give in
01:50We're seconds away from colliding
01:52I steal my nerves and press forward
01:54The driver loses his nerve, but he has already drove past the line
01:58So he has to turn left as well
02:00He rolls down his window and shouts at me
02:02Why are you being so stubborn when you're just driving a van?
02:05You think you can pay a BMW's repair fees?
02:07The old me would've ended him
02:09I ignore him
02:10Lily's safety is my top priority
02:13She leans weakly against the seat and says
02:15Don't fight him
02:16Hospital f*** first
02:17I nod and touch her stomach, reassuring her
02:20I know what to do
02:22I didn't expect the driver to speed up and swerve into my lane before suddenly braking
02:26I slam my foot on the brake
02:28The van lurches forward
02:29The safety belt digs into Lily's stomach, causing her to scream in pain
02:33It hurts
02:34Slow down, honey
02:35Anger burns in my chest when I see Lily's pained expression
02:39I was driving carefully until the driver decided to cause a commotion
02:42Breaking so suddenly and dangerously
02:44I assume that he'll come out to argue with me
02:46I plan to tell him that we're rushing to the hospital, but he starts driving again
02:50I sigh in relief, thinking that it's over
02:53But I'm sorely mistaken
02:54Consumed by rage, that guy drives at a snail's pace and blocks my way
02:58When I swerve left, he swerves left
03:01When I swerve right, he swerves right, too
03:04I'm losing my mind
03:06I roll down my window and shout
03:08Stop this! I'm rushing to the hospital
03:10I honk at him wildly, hoping he'll stop
03:12But he ignores my pleas and continues blocking my way
03:15I'm filled with a murderous rage
03:18My glory days flash through my mind
03:20He would've been dead if I hadn't changed
03:22I'm not obliged to yield to him
03:23I didn't expect to get involved with a madman
03:27Lily can tell that I'm losing patience
03:29Teasingly, she says
03:31You've dealt with worst, Joe Holt
03:33Have some patience
03:34I can't stay calm when you're involved
03:36I've never been a romantic person
03:38Yet I can't help but worry about Lily
03:41I love her dearly
03:42She bites her lip and says
03:44I can endure this
03:45I've been through worse
03:46I force myself to calm down
03:49We're about to reach the highway
03:50It's dangerous to drive slow on the highway
03:53The driver won't be that foolish
03:55The BMW suddenly speeds up and swerves right
03:58Clearing a path for me
03:59I sigh in relief and swiftly speed up
04:01I say gently
04:03Don't worry, honey
04:04There's the highway
04:05We'll be at the hospital soon
04:06Lily's face is pale
04:07Just then, my phone rings
04:09I answer the call
04:10An anxious voice asks
04:12Is Mrs. Holt in labor?
04:14We're on our way
04:15I got someone to buy a gold necklace for the baby
04:17Don't come
04:18I won't accept your gift
04:20I've cut ties with you
04:21You were our boss
04:22Let us have a look
04:23I don't answer
04:24I watch the BMW driver roll down the window
04:27I wonder what he's up to now
04:29Does he want to fight?
04:31I watch as he throws a cup of milk tea at the van
04:33It hits the windshield
04:34Causing the drink to splatter everywhere
04:36I can't see the road
04:38The van is going 80 miles an hour
04:41Lily shrieks in terror
04:42I slam my foot on the brake
04:44I frantically remind myself that I can slow down
04:46But I can't change lanes
04:48No matter how obscured my vision is
04:49I swear to protect my family no matter the cost
04:52The car slows down
04:54My heart is racing
04:56My subordinates are panicking over the phone
04:58Is Mrs. Holt okay?
05:00Why did she scream?
05:01The safety belt digs into our bodies again
05:03Lily wails in agony and holds her stomach
05:05It hurts
05:06He's a lunatic
05:07Honey
05:07Is he trying to kill us?
05:09My subordinate's breathing turns heavy over the phone
05:12Is someone messing with you, boss?
05:13I can't afford to be distracted
05:15There's something greasy in the milk tea
05:18A thick layer of grease sticks to the windshield
05:20No matter how I try to clean it
05:22I can't see the road
05:23Just then
05:24The BMW driver moves in front of me again
05:26He's not driving slowly
05:28But he keeps speeding up and slowing down
05:30When I'm basically blind
05:31Messing with me
05:33I'm tempted to drag him out of his car
05:34But we're on the highway
05:36My subordinates sound furious over the phone
05:38No one messes with the boss
05:40Round up everyone right now
05:42We're coming to help you, boss
05:44Tell us your location
05:45We'll protect you and Mrs. Holt
05:47I ignore my subordinates
05:49When the driver slows down
05:50An empty space opens on the left lane
05:52It's my chance
05:53I quickly merge into the left lane
05:55And speed up to pass him
05:56But the van is too slow
05:57The driver realizes that I'm trying to pass him
06:00He swiftly tries to cut into my lane
06:02But my car is already merging in
06:03The way he's blocking me is illegal
06:05We're seconds away from colliding
06:07I'm about to slow down
06:08When I glance at Lily
06:09She's gripping the armrest with a look of conviction
06:12I feel like I'm seeing the Lily of the past
06:14Who used to stand by my side
06:15I grip my teeth
06:16Instead of breaking
06:17I step on the gas
06:19The BMW driver eventually loses his nerve
06:21But it's too late
06:23My van crashes into the BMW with a loud bang
06:25I grip the steering wheel to keep the van steady
06:27Since the BMW is already partially in my lane
06:30It swerves wildly
06:31And nearly flips
06:32This is my chance
06:33I hastily pass him
06:35I have to admit the BMW is sturdy
06:36From the van's rear view mirror
06:38I watch the car spin around
06:39Before hitting a barricade
06:40Breaking one of its headlights
06:42But it quickly regains its bearings
06:44The driver is enraged by my actions
06:46After riding itself
06:47The BMW chases after me
06:49I sigh heavily
06:50I've no choice
06:51I'm better than him
06:52But my van can outrun him
06:53He only needs 5 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour
06:56Meanwhile
06:56I'm transporting goods in my van
06:58And need 20 seconds to reach the same speed
07:00I can't lose him when I'm outmatched
07:02Besides
07:03My van is already unsteady
07:05To be safe
07:06I exit the highway
07:07I can't risk Lily's safety
07:10I stop my car and turn on the blinkers
07:12I trust that the driver will let me go
07:14Once I explain the situation to him
07:15Using this chance
07:16I hastily exit the van
07:18And clean the windshield
07:19This way
07:20I can send Lily to the hospital
07:21As soon as possible
07:22The BMW slows to a stop next to my van
07:25Perhaps afraid that I'll escape
07:27The driver
07:27Flint Klein
07:28Stops his car in front of mine
07:30Giving my van no space to maneuver around
07:32Only then does he step out
07:34He points a finger at me
07:35And starts cursing me out
07:36Why are you acting so high and mighty
07:38When you're just driving a van
07:39You dare not let a BMW pass you
07:41Are you stupid
07:42The old me would have punched him by now
07:45But for Lily's sake
07:46I suppress my anger
07:47I couldn't let you pass
07:49I'm transporting a pregnant woman
07:51Who's in labor
07:51Flint walks over to the van window
07:53To look at Lily
07:55Bewildered
07:55He asks
07:56Why drive like a lunatic
07:57With a pregnant woman on board
07:59We could have avoided this
08:00If you let me pass
08:01I don't understand
08:02Why he's calling me a lunatic
08:03I was already turning left
08:05You're not supposed to turn left
08:07At your position at the time
08:08Shut up
08:08You ran into my car
08:10Pay up first
08:11I don't understand
08:12Why I have to pay him
08:13Why do I have to pay you
08:14When you're in the wrong
08:16I'm rushing to the hospital
08:17The cops will take over
08:19Leave if you dare
08:20It'll be a hit and run for you
08:21I thought he would change his mind
08:23After finding about Lily
08:24He doesn't
08:25On the contrary
08:26He's trying to accuse me
08:28Of committing a hit and run
08:29During such a critical moment
08:31I clench my fists
08:32Realizing that something is amiss
08:34Lily weakly says
08:35Calm down
08:36You promised me
08:37You wouldn't fight again
08:38I take a deep breath
08:39And suppress my anger
08:40You can call the cops
08:41We can talk later
08:42Let me leave
08:44Don't get in my way
08:45I try to get back into the van
08:46But he slams his foot
08:48Against the door
08:48The door slams shut
08:50With a deafening bang
08:51He points at me and shouts
08:53Listen up
08:53I drive a BMW
08:55Meanwhile
08:56No one will care
08:57If the child in her stomach dies
08:59Out of my way
08:59My wife's in labor
09:01Flint shrugs
09:02He doesn't care
09:03I don't care
09:04It's not my wife
09:05Who's giving birth
09:06You almost killed me
09:08You can either pay me now
09:10Or grovel at my feet
09:10To settle this
09:11You're insane
09:12He scoffs
09:12Calling me insane
09:13When you refuse to give in
09:14To a BMW driver
09:16The world's gone mad
09:17At that moment
09:18I realize that Flint
09:19Is a bastard
09:20He looks down on me
09:22He thinks I shall yield to him
09:23Because I'm poor
09:25Worried I'll start a fight
09:26Lily holds her stomach
09:27And says
09:27We don't have much money on us
09:29Sir
09:30My husband used all his money
09:32To pay for our child's birth
09:34We'll owe you
09:34Until the cops handle this
09:36Fuck
09:37How dare you mess with me
09:38When you're poor
09:38I'm tempted to punch him
09:40In the face
09:40But Lily's pain noises
09:41Stop me from snapping
09:43Suppressing my anger
09:44I say
09:45We've given you an out
09:46If you agree
09:47I'll owe you money
09:48Until the cops intervene
09:50Let us leave now
09:51He shrugs and says
09:52Why should I wait
09:53For the cops to make a decision
09:54Are you trying to threaten us
09:56I know you're trying to
09:58Take advantage of us right now
09:59My honest deduction
10:01Seems to have dealt a blow
10:02To his pride
10:03How dare you accuse me of that
10:05I lift my hand and block his wrist with my arm
10:07Stopping his attack
10:08And making him yelp in pain
10:11I reflexively clamp my free hand around his neck
10:13And lift him off his feet
10:15He looks at me in terror
10:17His legs flail around in the air
10:19His words are indecipherable
10:21Panicking
10:21Lily exclaims
10:23Stop
10:23Don't hurt him, honey
10:25I glare at the BMW driver
10:27In the past
10:28I would have dealt with trash like him without blinking
10:31The BMW's doors suddenly swing open
10:34Two other men step out and start cursing at me
10:36How dare you lay your hands on him
10:37I didn't notice that there were other people in the car
10:40I look at them and loosen my grip
10:42I'm not scared
10:44Although I can easily deal with them
10:45They can be heartless and target Lily instead of me
10:48If they're cornered
10:49I'll never be able to forgive myself
10:52Flint drops to the floor and wheezes painfully
10:54He doesn't know I'm worrying about Lily
10:56Assuming that I'm scared
10:57He grits his teeth
10:58Scared now, are you?
11:00Where's your bravado now?
11:01His friends help him up
11:02His face twists as he demands
11:05I wanted $20,000 at first
11:06But now, I want $50,000
11:08Bastard
11:09How dare you touch me?
11:11Lily anxiously says
11:11My husband didn't hurt you
11:13You're the one who attacked him
11:15Joe was just defending himself
11:17His friends retort
11:18I didn't see him attack anyone
11:20I only saw your husband attack him
11:22Lily panics
11:23She exclaims
11:24Stop spouting nonsense
11:25There are cameras everywhere
11:27Joe has only been out of prison for a year
11:29Don't you dare frame him
11:31They are stunned by Lily's words
11:33They then burst out laughing
11:35Flint approaches me
11:36And pokes his finger into my chest
11:38He laughs and says
11:39So, you've served time, huh?
11:42What was it for robbery or burglary?
11:43I ignore Flint
11:45I grab the door handle and say
11:46Last warning
11:47Stop getting in our way
11:48I need to send her to the hospital
11:50Quote
11:50Flint grabs my hand and scoffs
11:52Stop acting intimidating
11:54Just because you've done time
11:55I've been in fights too, you know
11:57I don't understand him
11:58His fights are child's play
12:00Compared to the bloody battles
12:01I survived
12:02Meanwhile, one of his friends exclaims
12:04Pay us $50,000 if you want to go
12:07Don't you love your wife?
12:08Cough up the money now
12:09Flint cackles
12:10Glad for his friend's support
12:12Stop pretending to be a doting husband
12:14When you can't even pay me
12:16I'm tired of dealing with them
12:17Fortunately, I have some pens and check
12:19I grab them and jot down $50,000 on the check
12:22I know I won't be paying Flint once Lily is hospitalized and the cops intervene
12:26I didn't expect Flint to tear the check to shreds when I hand it to him
12:30He hisses
12:30That's worthless
12:32What if you run away?
12:34What do you want?
12:35I'm running out of patience
12:36I don't trust you to keep your word
12:38I'll only accept cash
12:39I don't care if you have to get a loan
12:41Cough up the money right now and beg for my forgiveness
12:44I can't get a loan
12:46I'm not lying
12:46I haven't been able to find a job because I serve time
12:49No one will loan me any money
12:52Flint refuses to accept my excuse
12:54He says
12:55Get someone to do it for you
12:56I'm about to reject him when my phone starts ringing
12:59My subordinates are calling again
13:01Flint snatches my phone before I can do anything
13:04He looks at the screen and says
13:06This must be your friend, right?
13:08Perfect timing
13:10Let's ask him to collect money for you
13:12Flint cackles
13:13You'll be inviting trouble upon yourself if you answer that call
13:17He laughs
13:18You're a terrible driver, but you're good at talking shit
13:20He then answers the call, turning on speaker mode
13:23My subordinates anxiously ask
13:25You okay, boss?
13:27Are you at the hospital?
13:28Flint replies impatiently
13:29Calling him boss when he only drives a van
13:31He wrecked my car
13:32I won't let him leave unless you send me $50,000 now
13:35My subordinates breathe hard
13:37Where are you?
13:38We'll head over now
13:39Rose Street under Dawson Highway
13:40It has to be $50,000
13:43I won't let him leave if a cent is missing
13:45You can call the cops
13:47I don't mind
13:47I'm rich enough to play your games
13:49No cops
13:50We'll play with you
13:51Wait there
13:51We're bringing $500,000
13:53The BMW driver is confused by my subordinates' words
13:56He asks
13:57What is he talking about?
13:58He agreed to bring $500,000 but said no to the cops
14:01One of his friends laughs and says
14:03He's just scaring you
14:04Acting as if he's going to beat you up
14:07Flint shakes his head
14:08Do poor people like to put on an act?
14:10Oh, how terrifying
14:12Your buddy isn't going to beat me up, is he?
14:15I feel repulsed looking at his face
14:17I squash the urge to punch him and walk to the passenger's side
14:20I take Lily's hand and gently say
14:22Don't worry
14:23They'll be here soon
14:25We'll be able to rush to the hospital then
14:27Lily sobs and whispers
14:28I'm sorry, honey, for making you owe them again
14:31I shake my head and kiss her hand
14:33I whisper
14:34Your well-being is the priority
14:35Flint and his friends start laughing boisterously
14:38Flint points at me and says
14:40Wow, you owe your friend?
14:42Will you give him free deliveries?
14:43His friends roared in laughter
14:45Well, making deliveries is expensive
14:46It costs at least $20
14:48They laugh again
14:50Lily eventually grows annoyed at their endless insults
14:53She sadly asks
14:55Why are you harassing us?
14:56You're the ones who are in the wrong
14:58Flint says
14:59So what if I harass you?
15:00I'm bored
15:01Is insulting you a crime?
15:03He approaches me with an arrogant look
15:05My car is more expensive
15:07So you have to compensate me
15:08I'm richer than you
15:09So you deserve to be harassed
15:11Got a problem?
15:12I clench my fists
15:14Flint looks down at my hands and scoffs
15:16Hit me
15:17A pauper like you will be thrown in jail and go bankrupt
15:20But I'm different
15:21I just have to compensate you if I beat you half to death
15:24His friend says
15:25Stop scaring him
15:27He won't dare hurt you
15:28He's going to be a father soon
15:30He needs to work to raise the baby
15:32Flint scoffs arrogantly
15:34Hear that?
15:35That's the difference between us
15:36Even if I beat you up now
15:38My company is still earning money
15:40If you hurt me
15:41Your baby will starve to death
15:43Just then
15:43A deafening noise sounds through the air
15:45My subordinates have arrived in a medevac helicopter
15:48The helicopter lands on the large
15:51Empty space next to us
15:53Flint and his friends stare in shock
15:55Bewildered
15:55He exclaims
15:56Oh my god
15:57You even called for a helicopter?
15:59Every mile costs $50
16:00No?
16:01Stop playing the hero before your wife when you have no money
16:04His friend chimes in
16:05Look closely
16:06General hospitals charge that price
16:08But this looks like Emperor Hospital's helicopter
16:10They charge $200 per mile
16:12Emperor Hospital isn't private
16:14Don't they only treat Emperor Group's members?
16:16As Emperor Group's founder
16:18I'm a little stunned hearing them mention it
16:20Flint and his friends grow nervous
16:23They wonder if I'm part of Emperor Group that can't be crossed
16:27Flint hesitates before he approaches me
16:29Are you part of Emperor Group?
16:31I'd like to apologize if you were
16:32You can leave once you show me your ID
16:34No need to pay me
16:36Shocked
16:36His friends say
16:38I remember now
16:38Didn't Emperor Group's CEO, Joe Holt
16:41Get released from prison a year ago?
16:43His wife mentioned that he left prison a year ago
16:45He can't be Joe Holt
16:47Can he?
16:48He's right
16:48His friends called him boss just now
16:50Surprise flickers over Flint's face
16:53He quickly regains his composure and says
16:55Joe won't be driving a delivery truck
16:57It doesn't matter who he is
16:59We can't afford to offend anyone from Emperor Group
17:01His arrogance is gone and replaced by politeness
17:05He says
17:05Sir, I didn't know you were part of Emperor Group
17:08Show me your work ID
17:10And we'll call it even
17:11I'll even cover your repair fees
17:13I don't have a work ID
17:14I had cut ties with my past
17:16So I didn't stay with Emperor Group
17:18I answer honestly
17:19I don't have an ID
17:20His respectful expression stiffens before it's replaced by humiliation and rage
17:24I thought you were part of Emperor Group
17:26Why did you call their helicopter here?
17:29Every mile costs $200
17:31Can you afford it?
17:32He and his friends relax upon hearing my answer
17:34Their arrogance returns in full force
17:36They assume that the helicopter is picking up someone else
17:39You sure scared me
17:41A van driver couldn't possibly be part of Emperor Group
17:43The BMW driver is being two-faced again
17:46He points at me and says
17:47I thought you were with Emperor Group
17:49Cough up at the money now and beg for my forgiveness
17:52I have no time to waste
17:54I unbuckle Lily's seatbelt
17:56I pick her up just as the medical team steps out of the helicopter
17:59They rush over to me
18:01The paramedic asks me
18:02You booked maternity room
18:03No, 32, correct?
18:05Yes
18:05Flint chortles when he hears our conversation
18:07She's going to a maternity hospital
18:09I thought it was Emperor Hospital
18:11I guess you're not their employee
18:13He laughs
18:14You're quite the spender
18:15They have no helicopters
18:17So you used one of Emperor's
18:19You scared me just now
18:20Thought you were with them
18:22But you're just using their helicopter
18:24The paramedic doesn't understand
18:25He quickly helps Lily onto the stretcher
18:28And tells his colleagues
18:29Prepare for takeoff
18:30But Fred grabs the stretcher and shakes his head
18:33Wait
18:33She can't leave
18:34What do you mean?
18:35He continues
18:36I don't intend to offend Emperor Group
18:38But this couple still owes me money
18:39They can't leave
18:41He shoves me aside and says
18:43You're quite the actor
18:45Knowing you can't win
18:46You call a helicopter from Emperor Group to scare me
18:49I finally lose my temper at that moment
18:51He keeps harassing me by using Lily's safety against me
18:54I grab a fistful of his collar
18:56He steps back in terror
18:58Flint's friends grab my shirt in retaliation
19:00And try to pull me off him
19:02My shirt rips in the chaos
19:03Revealing the black dragon tattoo on my back
19:06They gasp in shock when they see the tattoo
19:08One of them exclaims
19:10Doesn't Joe have this tattoo?
19:12Flint looks at me in shock
19:13He seems to have an epiphany and exclaims
19:16I get what's going on now
19:17You damn pauper
19:19You called the helicopter here because you served time
19:21And have a dragon tattoo on your back
19:23You plan to pose as Joe
19:25His friends snap back to their senses upon hearing his analysis
19:28He's doing so much to drag Emperor Group into this
19:30He might trick those who aren't in the know
19:33Flint sighs and says
19:34Bastard
19:35I'm just asking you to pay me
19:37But you have a death wish
19:38Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to pretend to be Mr. Holt?
19:42He was in jail for so long
19:43But Emperor Group left the CEO role vacant for him
19:46They're incredibly loyal
19:48In the past
19:49They eliminated everyone who pretended to be Joe
19:51Ignorance has made you a fool
19:53Flint grabs me with one hand and pulls out his phone
19:55He smirks and says
19:56Coincidentally
19:57My partner works with Emperor Group
20:00What if I call him and tell him to inform Emperor Group about this
20:03Things will get interesting
20:04No?
20:05I reply
20:05You're digging your own grave
20:06Flint asks
20:08Hat got your tongue?
20:09If you had worked hard
20:10You wouldn't be so broke now
20:12Lily loses her patience at Flint's endless insults
20:14She exclaims
20:15My husband is Joe Holt
20:17Flint laughs
20:18Do you take me for a fool?
20:19Or perhaps you take Mr. Holt for one?
20:21No one will give up on being Emperor Group's CEO to make deliveries with a van
20:25He really is Joe
20:26I'm not lying
20:27Flint looks at the paramedic and says
20:29This man claims that he's Joe Holt
20:31He's saying that he's your CEO
20:33I'm just a regular employee
20:35Mr. Holt's friends are our higher ups
20:37I don't know what he looks like
20:39There's an emergency here
20:40Don't get in our way
20:41Flint asks
20:42Are you sure we're getting in your way?
20:44If this guy is pretending to be Mr. Holt
20:46How will you explain yourself if you save his wife?
20:49The paramedic asks
20:50How are you so sure he's an imposter?
20:52Flint replies
20:53We can find out now if he's the real thing
20:55He then makes a video call
20:57When the call connects
20:58He points the phone at me and says gleefully
21:00Greetings, Mr. Mills
21:02Guess what?
21:03I ran into an imposter pretending to be Mr. Holt when I was out today
21:07The man on the screen is stuck on when he sees me
21:09His face darkens
21:11I recognize him
21:12Ash Mills
21:14He's stuck to us like a leech in the past
21:16Flint says
21:16I heard you used to work with Mr. Holt
21:19I figured you wouldn't let an imposter run around sullying Mr. Holt's name
21:22So I called you as soon as possible
21:24Ash asks
21:25Where are you?
21:26Flint quickly replies
21:27Near your company
21:29I wanted to visit you to discuss our next project when I ran into this pauper
21:32Okay, I'm coming over now
21:34Ash then abruptly ends the call
21:36Flint is oblivious to his impending doom
21:38He starts chortling
21:39You are done for
21:41You crossed someone you shouldn't have
21:43He laughs
21:44I glare at him
21:45He has no idea he's the one who's done for
21:48Ash is indebted to me
21:49So he acts quickly
21:51It doesn't take long for Flint to start waving in a certain direction
21:54He laughs
21:55We're over here, Mr. Mills
21:57I turn to watch Ash and his men stalk toward us
21:59I didn't know he had established a company here since I had cut ties with my past
22:04Meanwhile, the sounds of roaring engines echo along the road
22:07My subordinates have arrived
22:08Dozens of luxury cars, such as Maybach's, Mercedes's, and Bentley's, are racing toward us
22:15Flint is stunned by the sudden appearance of the cars
22:18His eyes widen when the cars screech to a stop next to us
22:21What's going on?
22:22He stammers
22:23My men exit the cars and approach us
22:25The leader, Luke York, is carrying a briefcase
22:28When Flint spots Luke, he exclaims
22:30Isn't that Emperor Group's Mr. York?
22:32Why is he here?
22:33Are you an idiot?
22:34He must be here to meet Mr. Mills
22:36They used to work together
22:38Lady Luck must be smiling down on me
22:40Mr. York can witness me capturing Mr. Holt's imposter
22:43Flint waves enthusiastically at Ash and my subordinates
22:47He points at me and says
22:48Mr. Mills, Mr. York, I caught this punk pretending to be Mr. Holt
22:52What happened?
22:53He was driving wildly on the road just now
22:55He even crashed his van into my car and refused to pay me
22:59He says his wife is in labor
23:01I informed you when he claimed to be Mr. Holt
23:03His friends chime in as well
23:05This man is a real punk, Mr. Mills
23:08We had to work together to crush him
23:10Seeing his friends wanting some of the glory, Flint says
23:12They're right
23:13I wouldn't have been able to subdue him if not for my friend's help
23:16Luke asks
23:17So, it's the three of you, yes?
23:19Flint nods vigorously
23:20That's right, Mr. York
23:22It's such an honor to meet you
23:24You came in the nick of time
23:26This pauper tried to scare us
23:28If his friends had shown up, we wouldn't be able to crush him
23:31His friends even threatened us over the phone
23:33Ash eventually grows tired of Flint's blabbering
23:36He lifts his hand and slaps him hard across the face
23:39He roars
23:40You fucking stupid fool
23:42Flint is flabbergasted by the sudden slap
23:44He holds his cheek and stammers
23:46Why did you hit me, Mr. Mills?
23:48Ash grits out
23:48Don't talk to me
23:49I'm terminating our partnership
23:51Me
23:52Flint panics and asks
23:53Why?
23:54We have so many contracts
23:55Why are you pulling out?
23:57Didn't I do a good job, Mr. Mills?
24:00Stop joking around
24:01If you end our partnership, my company will go bankrupt
24:04Ash spits
24:04You think we're on the same level?
24:06What a joke
24:07He then turns around to address Luke
24:09I'm sorry, Mr. York
24:10He's not my employee
24:12We were just partners
24:13I didn't expect him to be such an ignorant fool
24:16Luke ignores Ash and approaches Flint with his briefcase
24:18Offering it to him
24:20Flint is stunned
24:22He asks
24:23What's inside, Mr. York?
24:24Luke opens the briefcase
24:26It's filled with cash
24:27Stunning Flint
24:28Luke says
24:29I told you over the phone that I would bring $500,000
24:32Flint's smile stiffens
24:34He stares at the cash and swallows loudly
24:37Asking
24:37You're the one I spoke to over the phone, Mr. York
24:40You damned idiot
24:41Yes, I'm the one you spoke to
24:43He's not an imposter
24:45He's the real Mr. Holt
24:46At that moment, my subordinates nod at me and greet me loudly
24:49Flint is stunned
24:50Flint pales as his legs go weak
24:52He falls to his knees
24:54His friends aren't faring better, looking at me in disbelief
24:57He points at me and stammers
24:59You, you're the real joke
25:00I ignore my subordinates and walk over to Lily's side
25:03I take her hand and gently say
25:05Let them send you to the hospital, honey
25:07Will you come?
25:07Yes, I'll come once everything's over
25:09The paramedics get to work and hoist Lily onto the helicopter
25:13After the helicopter flies off, I turn to look at Flint
25:17He's shaking from fear as he stammers
25:18I didn't know you were Joe Holt
25:21If I had known, I never would have had the guts to cross you
25:24I say
25:25The Joe Holt of the past is dead and gone
25:28So, what you're saying is that I deserve to be harassed if I'm a regular man?
25:32I didn't mean that
25:33I remember your words
25:35You're richer, so I need to compensate you
25:37You're richer, so I deserve to be harassed
25:40Flint is rendered speechless
25:43Luke frowns and asks
25:44Is that so?
25:45I can pick on you if I'm richer
25:46He claps his hands
25:48One of his men springs into action
25:50He swiftly gets into a Bentley and rams it into the BMW
25:53The bang is deafening
25:55There's a dent in the BMW, but the man doesn't stop
25:58He reverses the car before ramming it into the BMW again
26:01He repeats this again and again until he nearly destroys both cars
26:05Flint and his friends are trembling in fear, not daring to speak
26:09Luke says smugly
26:10According to your logic, you need to compensate me after I crash my car into yours because I'm richer than
26:15you
26:15Flint turns pale and blabbers
26:17Your car is so expensive, Mr. York
26:19I can't afford to pay you
26:21Luke hisses
26:22So, you're not going to pay me?
26:24No matter
26:24You three can split the debt
26:26You have a close bond, don't you?
26:28Working together to pick on a pregnant woman
26:29Paying me shouldn't be an issue, no?
26:31His words terrify them
26:33They crawl over to me
26:34And hastily beg for mercy
26:35Please forgive us, Mr. Holt
26:39We won't do it again
26:41We've learnt our lesson
26:42Please have mercy on us
26:43I'm repulsed by their hypocrisy
26:46They're just pathetic losers
26:47Who harass people who are poorer than them
26:49And grovel at the feet of those who are richer than them
26:51If I weren't Joe Holt
26:52If I were just a regular, poor man
26:54They would have been merciless in their harassment of me
26:57I simply shake my head at their begging
26:59I've cut ties with my past and don't care anymore
27:01I'm begging you, Mr. Holt
27:03I'm even on my knees
27:05I'll compensate your van
27:06You can ask me for as much as you want
27:08Luke grabs his hair before he can finish his sentence
27:11He drags him aside and says impatiently
27:13Mr. Holt's left this life
27:14Don't you get it?
27:15He can't control us anymore
27:16Flint sobs and says
27:18I admit that I like to harass the weak, Mr. York
27:21But I'm just a nobody
27:23Even if you sell all my assets
27:25I won't be able to compensate you
27:26Ash hisses
27:27No, you can pay by selling your company
27:30You can also sell your house to cover for it
27:32Flint exclaims
27:33I'll be utterly broke then
27:35Luke asks curiously
27:36Is that a problem?
27:38I'm richer than you
27:38So you deserve to be picked on by me
27:41These are your own words, no?
27:43I walk over to Flint and look down at him
27:45I ask
27:46You shouldn't have forcefully tried to merge into my lane
27:49Am I right?
27:50He nods vigorously
27:51Cries
27:51And says
27:52We've learned our lesson, Mr. Holt
27:54We shouldn't have picked on you just because you were driving a van
27:57I continue
27:58Do you acknowledge your reckless driving and illegal actions as well?
28:02Yes
28:02I admit to everything
28:04It's all my fault
28:05Don't forget to wire me the compensation
28:07Of course
28:09I'll definitely do that
28:10I'll let you off the hook for the van incident
28:13But I don't think you can just walk away
28:16Considering the state of the Bentley
28:18Flint is sonned
28:19He anxiously says
28:21But I didn't damage his car
28:23He's the one who rammed my car
28:25I shrug and say
28:26According to your logic
28:27His car is more expensive than yours
28:29So why didn't you move your car of the way?
28:31Luke chimes in
28:32You're just driving a BMW
28:34You should have moved your car
28:36Flint looks ashen
28:37Just then
28:38One of Luke's men brings a contract and offers it to Flint
28:41Luke says
28:42Sign this contract
28:43You damaged my car
28:44So you have to compensate me
28:46Flint cries and says
28:47I'll go bankrupt if I sign this contract, Mr. York
28:51I'll have nothing left
28:52Luke says in disdain
28:53A bully like you
28:54Who harasses others
28:55Doesn't deserve to be rich
28:57Flint takes the pen
28:58His hand trembles violently
29:00He's unable to sign the contract
29:02His tears drip on the paper
29:04Desperately, he says
29:05Please have mercy on me
29:07I can't afford to compensate you
29:10I've learned my lesson
29:11I say
29:12No, you haven't
29:14You just realized you messed with the wrong man
29:16He is hesitating when Ash speaks up
29:18You sought me out today because you wanted me to pay you, right?
29:21Do you know what will happen if I refuse to pay?
29:24He answers
29:24You're my biggest client
29:26I'll go bankrupt if you don't pay me
29:28Ash says
29:29Yes
29:29You won't have any funds if I don't pay you
29:31The loan sharks will come knocking
29:33I can keep delaying my payment
29:35But can you wait?
29:36I am
29:37Flint starts panicking
29:38He hurriedly says
29:39I can't
29:40Mr. Mills, the loan sharks will end me before the court comes to a decision
29:44Ash continues
29:44You built your factory by taking out many personal loans
29:48Who do you think is more scary if you can't pay off your debts?
29:52Us?
29:52Or those loan sharks?
29:54Flint is trembling violently
29:55The loan sharks are different from Emperor Group
29:58Emperor Group has to follow the law
30:00While the loan sharks will do anything to collect their debt
30:03He cries and says
30:05You're forcing me into a dead end
30:07Ash replies
30:08So what if I am?
30:09Have you forgotten how you bullied Mr. Holt?
30:12Listen up
30:13We're being kind by bankrupting you and humbling you down
30:16Flint has no choice but to sign the contract
30:19He murmurs
30:19I'll pay you even if I lose everything
30:22His hand trembles as he signs the contract
30:24I walk over to the battered BMW and search inside
30:28As expected, there are two cups of milk tea inside
30:31I grab one cup and approach Flint
30:33He's scared speechless as kneels before me
30:35He doesn't retaliate when I pour the drink on him
30:38Instead, he says
30:39Good job, Mr. Holt
30:41I ask
30:41Am I below you for driving a van?
30:43No, of course not
30:45I'm in the wrong
30:46I shouldn't have thought that way
30:48I didn't want to compete with you
30:50Stop trying to butter me up
30:51Remember this
30:52People work hard to earn money
30:54They don't need your charity
30:56Don't think that you can belittle others just because you're rich
30:59I won't forget, Mr. Holt
31:00I look at his friends and say coldly
31:03You two were having fun egging him on
31:05The two of them are shaking
31:07One of them rushes to say
31:08We were just watching him, Mr. Holt
31:10He made all the decisions
31:12We didn't do anything
31:13I scoff
31:14You were also harassing me just now
31:16Now that you're in trouble
31:17You're trying to pin the blame on him
31:19Ash chimes in
31:20I know them, boss
31:21They're also working with me
31:23They just received new equipment
31:25So they want more orders
31:26Interest peaked, I ask
31:27It would be troublesome for them to lose orders
31:29Instead of getting more since they received new equipment, no?
31:33The men's faces twist in fear when they hear my words
31:36They begin groveling at my feet
31:38Please have mercy, Mr. Holt
31:40We've already put all our assets on the line
31:42Ashes
31:43Don't bother begging the boss
31:44I'm going to cancel all your orders
31:46I'll also be informing your other partners
31:49One of them crawls to my side in a panic
31:51He grabs my leg and wails
31:53I have a lot of debt, Mr. Holt
31:55I need this to survive
31:57I'm begging you
31:58I still have a family to feed
32:00I ask
32:01Did you consider how I also had my family with me when you were bullying me?
32:04The man is speechless
32:06I ruthlessly kick him away and say impatiently
32:09You didn't care when you were the bully
32:10And yet, you hope for others to pity your plight
32:13The world isn't that kind
32:15Luke says respectfully
32:16Don't worry, boss
32:17We'll handle the rest
32:19I nod
32:20Luke hesitates for a moment before continuing
32:22Why don't you rejoin us, boss?
32:25Everyone's waiting for you
32:26Your current life is tough
32:28Even small fry are picking on you
32:30I don't say a word
32:31Luke is right
32:33I'm working an honest job
32:34And yet, I have to face mistreatment
32:36If I return to Emperor Group
32:38My life will be easier
32:39Lily and our child won't be bullied either
32:42I'm lost in my thoughts when my phone rings
32:44I immediately pick it up
32:46Lily's weak voice echoes from the receiver
32:48We have a beautiful daughter, honey
32:50My heart squeezes as warmth floods my chest
32:53I hurriedly reply
32:54I'm coming over now
32:55You need clean towels and clothes, right?
32:58Do you need anything else?
33:00My men are paying attention closely while I listen to Lily
33:03She orders me to buy diapers and milk powder
33:05My heart feels warm as I listen to her
33:08I end the call after I jot down the items she needs
33:10I sigh deeply and say
33:12Thank you for waiting, but I won't be going back
33:14Luke asks
33:15Don't tell me you're content with living a normal life?
33:18I reply
33:18Although a normal life is tough, I'm very content
33:21The money that I earn is clean, and I can sleep soundly at night
33:24Luke says
33:25Emperor Group is clean now
33:27We haven't done anything illegal in years
33:29We're a proper business now
33:31I smile bitterly and say
33:33Emperor Group is clean because I haven't returned
33:35If my enemies hear that I've gone back, do you think they'll let go of their previous grievances?
33:41End quote
33:41Luke grits out
33:42We won't forgive anyone who messes with you
33:45I reply
33:46Emperor Group can be a proper business because I haven't gone back
33:49I cut ties with the family because I wanted to give you a future
33:53They are silent
33:54They know that I'm right
33:56If I return, everyone will find out Joe Holt is back
34:00Even if I mind my own business, they will worry about me taking revenge
34:03It's a silent rule that as long as the leader steps down, everyone will forget about past grievances
34:08To ensure that everyone can live peacefully, especially Lily and our newborn, I have to stay away
34:13Luke understands my reasoning
34:15He sighs deeply and says
34:17We won't force you if you've made up your mind
34:19We hope you'll accept these
34:21He waves his hand
34:22One of his men brings over a tray
34:24There are two things on it
34:26A gold necklace and a dove that's also made of pure gold
34:29Luke explains
34:30We made the gold necklace, while your old rivals made the dove
34:33The truth is, they share your sentiment
34:36They will keep the peace as long as you don't return
34:38Luke suddenly falls to his knees, flustered, I ask
34:41What are you doing?
34:42Luke replies
34:43They made this dove a year ago, boss
34:45But we didn't plan to give it to you, hoping you would return
34:48I'm sorry
34:49I reach out and caress the dove
34:52I say softly
34:53I guess this is their retirement fund for me
34:55Luke says
34:56Yes, once you accept this dove, the old Joe Holt will remain in history
35:00Ash chimes in
35:01Accept it and leave the past behind
35:02These items are valuable, but they're nothing compared to what you're giving up
35:06I briefly hesitate before I accept the items
35:09My subordinates sigh when I do so
35:11I place them in the van
35:13This time, they don't follow me
35:15Instead, they watch me from afar
35:17They nod at me solemnly when I enter the van
35:20I leave as they watch me
35:21I'm feeling a little reluctant, but I know that I have to embrace my new life
35:25I enter Lily's room when I arrive
35:27I see Lily cradling our child
35:30I hurry to her side and kiss her forehead
35:32Lily smiles and asks
35:33Is it over now?
35:35I nod
35:35She asks me
35:36Did you bid a proper farewell to your past?
35:38I did
35:38I'll always be by your side from now on
35:41I'll be a good man and take care of you both
35:43I hug her shoulder and murmur
35:45I've had a taste of glory, but nothing in my past compares to my happiness now
35:49I used to be feared by all, but I'm just a regular father now
35:53I love you all
