00:30The old me is dead from this day forth.
00:32Lily 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.
00:53Her 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.
01:16Thinking of being a father makes me ecstatic.
01:18One day, Lily's water breaks during a delivery.
01:21I rush her to the hospital.
01:24When 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, but Lily is in labor.
01:32Every second is precious.
01:34The light is turning red.
01:35I have to wait two 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, so he has to turn left as
01:59well.
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 have 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 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.
02:30The safety belt digs into Lily's stomach, causing her to scream in pain.
02:33It hurts.
02:34Slow down, honey.
02:36Anger burns in my chest when I see Lily's pained expression.
02:39I was driving carefully until the driver decided to cause a commotion,
02:42braking 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.
02:55Consumed by rage, that guy drives at a snail's pace and blocks my way.
02:59When 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.
03:09I'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.
03:16I'm filled with a murderous rage.
03:18My glory days flash through my mind.
03:20He would have been dead if I hadn't changed.
03:22I'm not obliged to yield to him.
03:24I 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, yet 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.
03:51It'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, clearing a path for me.
03:59I sigh in relief and swiftly speed up.
04:02I 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.
04:08Just then, my phone rings.
04:09I answer the call.
04:11An 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, causing 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, but I can't change lanes.
04:48No matter how obscured my vision is, I swear to protect my family no matter the cost.
04:53The 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, honey.
05:08Is he trying to kill us?
05:09My subordinates' breathing turns heavy over the phone.
05:12Is someone messing with you, boss?
05:14I 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 no matter how I try to clean it.
05:22I can't see the road.
05:23Just then, the BMW driver moves in front of me again.
05:27He's not driving slowly, but he keeps speeding up and slowing down when I'm basically blind,
05:31messing with me.
05:33I'm tempted to drag him out of his car, but 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.
05:48I ignore my subordinates.
05:49When the driver slows down, an empty space opens on the left lane.
05:52It's my chance.
05:53I quickly merge into the left lane and speed up to pass him, but 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, but 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 when I glance at Lily.
06:10She's gripping the armrest with a look of conviction.
06:12I feel like I'm seeing the Lily of the past, who used to stand by my side.
06:16I grip my teeth.
06:16Instead of breaking, I step on the gas.
06:19The BMW driver eventually loses his nerve, but 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.
06:28Since the BMW is already partially in my lane, it swerves wildly and nearly flips.
06:32This is my chance.
06:33I hastily pass him.
06:35I have to admit the BMW is sturdy.
06:37From the van's rearview mirror, I watch the car spin around before hitting a barricade,
06:41breaking one of its headlights.
06:42But it quickly regains its bearings.
06:44The driver is enraged by my actions.
06:46After riding itself, the BMW chases after me.
06:49I sigh heavily.
06:50I've no choice.
06:51I'm better than him, but my van can't outrun him.
06:53He only needs 5 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour.
06:56Meanwhile, I'm transporting goods in my van and need 20 seconds to reach the same speed.
07:00I can't lose him when I'm outmatched.
07:02Besides, my van is already unsteady.
07:05To be safe, I exit the highway.
07:08I 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 once I explain the situation to him.
07:16Using this chance, I hastily exit the van and clean the windshield.
07:19This way, I can send Lily to the hospital as soon as possible.
07:23The BMW slows to a stop next to my van.
07:25Perhaps afraid that I'll escape.
07:27The driver, Flint Klein, stops his car in front of mine, giving my van no space to maneuver
07:32around.
07:32Only then does he step out.
07:34He points a finger at me and starts cursing me out.
07:36Why are you acting so high and mighty when you're just driving a van?
07:39You dare not let a BMW pass you?
07:42Are you stupid?
07:42The old me would have punched him by now.
07:45But for Lily's sake, I suppress my anger.
07:47I couldn't let you pass.
07:49I'm transporting a pregnant woman, who's in labor.
07:52Flint walks over to the van window to look at Lily.
07:55Bewildered, he asks.
07:56Why drive like a lunatic with a pregnant woman on board?
07:59We could have avoided this if you let me pass.
08:01I don't understand why he's calling me a lunatic.
08:04I was already turning left.
08:05You're not supposed to turn left at your position at the time.
08:08Shut up.
08:09You ran into my car.
08:10Pay up first.
08:11I don't understand why I have to pay him.
08:14Why do I have to pay you when you're in the wrong?
08:16I'm rushing to the hospital.
08:18The 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 after finding about Lily.
08:24He doesn't.
08:26On the contrary, he's trying to accuse me of committing a hit and run during such a critical
08:30moment.
08:31I clench my fists, realizing that something is amiss.
08:34Lily weakly says.
08:35Calm down.
08:36You promised me you wouldn't fight again.
08:38I take a deep breath and suppress my anger.
08:40You can call the cops.
08:41We can talk later.
08:43Let me leave.
08:44Don't get in my way.
08:45I try to get back into the van, but he slams his foot against the door.
08:49The door slams shut with a deafening bang.
08:51He points at me and shouts.
08:53Listen up.
08:54I drive a BMW.
08:55Meanwhile, no one will care if the child in her stomach dies.
08:59Out of my way.
09:00My wife's in labor.
09:01Flint shrugs.
09:02He doesn't care.
09:03I don't care.
09:04It's not my wife who's giving birth.
09:07You almost killed me.
09:08You can either pay me now or grovel at my feet to settle this.
09:11You're insane.
09:12He scoffs.
09:13Calling me insane when you refuse to give in to a BMW driver.
09:16The world's gone mad.
09:17At that moment, I realize that Flint is a bastard.
09:20He looks down on me.
09:22He thinks I shall yield to him because I'm poor.
09:25Worried I'll start a fight.
09:26Lily holds her stomach and says.
09:28We don't have much money on us, sir.
09:30My husband used all his money to pay for our child's birth.
09:34We'll owe you until the cops handle this.
09:36Fuck.
09:37How dare you mess with me when you're poor.
09:39I'm tempted to punch him in the face, but Lily's pain noises stop me from snapping.
09:43Suppressing my anger, I say.
09:45We've given you an out.
09:46If you agree, I'll owe you money until the cops intervene.
09:50Let us leave now.
09:51He shrugs and says.
09:52Why should I wait for the cops to make a decision?
09:54Are you trying to threaten us?
09:56I know you're trying to take advantage of us right now.
10:00My honest deductions seems to have dealt a blow to 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 and making him yelp in pain.
10:11I reflexively clamp my free hand around his neck and 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.
10:22Lily exclaims.
10:23Stop.
10:24Don't hurt him.
10:24Honey.
10:25I glare at the BMW driver.
10:27In the past, I 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, they can be heartless and target Lily instead of me if 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, assuming 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.
11:03His face twists as he demands.
11:05I wanted $20,000 at first, but now, I want $50,000.
11:08Bastard.
11:09How dare you touch me?
11:11Lily anxiously says.
11:12My husband didn't hurt you.
11:14You're the one who attacked him.
11:16Joe was just defending himself.
11:17His friends retort.
11:18I didn't see him attack anyone.
11:20I only saw your husband attack him.
11:23Lily panics.
11:23She exclaims.
11:24Stop spouting nonsense.
11:26There are cameras everywhere.
11:28Joe 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 and pokes his finger into my chest.
11:38He laughs and says.
11:40So, you've served time, huh?
11:42When 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.
11:51Flint grabs my hand and scoffs.
11:53Stop acting intimidating just 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 compared to the bloody battles I 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.
12:10Flint cackles.
12:11Glad for his friend's support.
12:12Stop pretending to be a doting husband when you can't even pay me.
12:16I'm tired of dealing with them.
12:17Fortunately, I have some pens and check.
12:20I 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.
12:31That'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.
12:42Cough up the money right now and beg for my forgiveness.
12:45I can't get a loan.
12:46I'm not lying.
12:47I haven't been able to find a job because I serve time.
12:50No 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.
13:14You'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.
13:33I won't let him leave unless you send me $50,000 now.
13:36My subordinates breathe hard.
13:38Where are you?
13:38We'll head over now.
13:39Rose Street under Dawson Highway.
13:41It 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.
13:48I'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, acting 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.
14:36Flint and his friends start laughing boisterously.
14:38Flint points at me and says.
14:40Wow.
14:41You owe your friend?
14:42Will you give him free deliveries?
14:43His friends roared in laughter.
14:45Well, making deliveries is expensive.
14:47It costs at least $20.
14:49They laugh again.
14:50Lily eventually grows annoyed at their endless insults.
14:53She sadly asks.
14:55Why are you harassing us?
14:57You're the ones who are in the wrong.
14:58Flint says.
14:59So what if I harass you?
15:01I'm bored.
15:02Is insulting you a crime?
15:03He approaches me with an arrogant look.
15:06My car is more expensive, so you have to compensate me.
15:08I'm richer than you, so 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.
15:25His 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.
15:33Flint scoffs arrogantly.
15:34Hear that?
15:35That's the difference between us.
15:37Even if I beat you up now, my company is still earning money.
15:40If you hurt me, your baby will starve to death.
15:43Just then, a deafening noise sounds through the air.
15:46My subordinates have arrived in a medevac helicopter.
15:49The helicopter lands on the large, empty space next to us.
15:53Flint and his friends stare in shock.
15:55Bewildered, he exclaims.
15:56Oh, my God.
15:57You even called for a helicopter?
15:59Every mile costs $50.
16:01No?
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.
16:13Emperor Hospital isn't private.
16:15Don't they only treat Emperor Group's members?
16:16As Emperor Group's founder, I'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.
16:35No need to pay me.
16:36Shocked, his friends say.
16:38I remember now.
16:39Didn't Emperor Group's CEO, Joe Holt, get released from prison a year ago?
16:43His wife mentioned that he left prison a year ago.
16:46He 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, he says.
17:06Sir, I didn't know you were part of Emperor Group.
17:08Show me your work ID and we'll call it even.
17:11I'll even cover your repair fees.
17:13I don't have a work ID.
17:15I had cut ties with my past, so 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.
17:27Why 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.
17:37They assume that the helicopter is picking up someone else.
17:40You 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.
18:03You booked maternity room, no.
18:0432, correct?
18:05Yes.
18:05Flint chortles when he hears our conversation.
18:08She's going to a maternity hospital?
18:10I thought it was Emperor Hospital.
18:12I guess you're not their employee.
18:13He laughs.
18:14You're quite the spender.
18:16They have no helicopters.
18:17So you used one of Emperor's?
18:19You scared me just now.
18:21Thought you were with them, but you're just using their helicopter.
18:24The paramedic doesn't understand.
18:26He quickly helps Lily onto the stretcher and tells his colleagues.
18:29Prepare for takeoff.
18:30But Phil 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, but this couple still owes me money.
18:40They can't leave.
18:41He shoves me aside and says.
18:43You're quite the actor.
18:45Knowing you can't win, you 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.
18:57He steps back in terror.
18:58Flint's friends grab my shirt in retaliation and try to pull me off him.
19:02My shirt rips in the chaos, revealing the black dragon tattoo on my back.
19:06They gasp in shock when they see the tattoo.
19:09One of them exclaims.
19:10Doesn't Joe have this tattoo?
19:12Flint looks at me in shock.
19:14He seems to have an epiphany and exclaims.
19:16I get what's going on now.
19:18You damn pauper.
19:19You called the helicopter here because you served time and 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.
19:31He 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, but you have a death wish.
19:39Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to pretend to be Mr. Holt?
19:42He was in jail for so long, but Emperor Group left the CEO role vacant for him.
19:47They're incredibly loyal.
19:48In the past, they eliminated everyone who pretended to be Joe.
19:52Ignorance has made you a fool.
19:53Flint grabs me with one hand and pulls out his phone.
19:56He smirks and says.
19:57Coincidentally, my 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, no?
20:05I reply.
20:05You're digging your own grave.
20:07Flint asks.
20:08Cat got your tongue?
20:09If you had worked hard, you wouldn't be so broke now.
20:12Lily loses her patience at Flint's endless insults.
20:15She exclaims.
20:15My husband is Joe Holt.
20:17Flint laughs.
20:18Do you take me for a fool, or 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.
20:41Don't get in our way.
20:42Flint asks.
20:42Are you sure we're getting in your way?
20:44If this guy is pretending to be Mr. Holt, how 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, he 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 stunned when he sees me.
21:09His face darkens.
21:11I recognize him.
21:13Ash mills.
21:14He's stuck to us like a leech in the past.
21:16Flint says.
21:17I heard you used to work with Mr. Holt.
21:19I figured you wouldn't let an imposter run around sullying Mr. Holt's name.
21:23So I called you as soon as possible.
21:25Ash asks.
21:25Where are you?
21:26Flint quickly replies.
21:28Near your company.
21:29I wanted to visit you to discuss our next project when I ran into this pauper.
21:33Okay.
21:33I'm coming over now.
21:34Ash then abruptly ends the call.
21:36Flint is oblivious to his impending doom.
21:38He starts chortling.
21:40You are done for.
21:41You crossed someone you shouldn't have.
21:44He 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, so 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.
22:09Dozens of luxury cars, such as Maybacks, Mercedeses, and Bentleys, 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,
22:49Mr. 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.
23:17Luke 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.
23:50I'm terminating our partnership.
23:51Me.
23:52Flint panics and asks.
23:54Why?
23:54We have so many contracts.
23:56Why 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.
24:05You 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.
24:11He's not my employee.
24:12We were just partners.
24:14I didn't expect him to be such an ignorant fool.
24:16Luke ignores Ash and approaches Flint with his briefcase, offering 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, stunning Flint.
24:28Luke says.
24:30I told you over the phone that I would bring $500,000.
24:33Flint's smile stiffens.
24:35He stares at the cash and swallows loudly, asking.
24:38You'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 Joe.
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?
25:08Yes, I'll come once everything's over.
25:10The 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.
25:19I didn't know you were Joe Holt.
25:21If I had known, I never would have had the guts to cross you.
25:25I 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.
25:34I remember your words.
25:35You're richer, so I need to compensate you.
25:38You're richer, so I deserve to be harassed.
25:41Flint 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.
25:54The 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
26:15richer than you.
26:15Flint turns pale and blabbers.
26:17Your car is so expensive, Mr. York.
26:20I 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.
26:30Paying me shouldn't be an issue, no?
26:31His words terrify them.
26:33They crawl over to me and hastily beg for mercy.
26:36Please forgive us, Mr. Holt.
26:39We won't do it again.
26:41We've learned our lesson.
26:42Please have mercy on us.
26:44I'm repulsed by their hypocrisy.
26:46They're just pathetic losers who harass people who are poorer than them and grovel at the feet
26:50of those who are richer than them.
26:51If I weren't Joe Holt, if I were just a regular, poor man, they would have been merciless in
26:55their 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.
27:07You 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, Mr. Holt's left this life.
27:14Don't you get it?
27:15He can't control us anymore.
27:16Flint sobs and says, I admit that I like to harass the weak, Mr. York, but I'm just a
27:22nobody.
27:23Even if you sell all my assets, I won't be able to compensate you.
27:27Ash hisses, no, you can pay by selling your company.
27:30You can also sell your house to cover for it.
27:32Flint exclaims, I'll be utterly broke then.
27:35Luke asks curiously, is that a problem?
27:38I'm richer than you, so 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, you shouldn't have forcefully tried to merge into my lane, am I right?
27:50He nods vigorously, cries, and says, we've learned our lesson, Mr. Holt.
27:55We shouldn't have picked on you just because you were driving a van.
27:58I continue.
27:59Do you acknowledge your reckless driving and illegal actions as well?
28:02Yes.
28:03I admit to everything.
28:04It's all my fault.
28:05Don't forget to wire me the compensation.
28:08Of course.
28:09I'll definitely do that.
28:11I'll let you off the hook for the van incident, but I don't think you can just walk away.
28:16Considering the state of the Bentley.
28:18Flint is stunned.
28:20He anxiously says, but I didn't damage his car.
28:23He's the one who rammed my car.
28:25I shrug and say, according to your logic, his car is more expensive than yours, so why
28:30didn'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, one of Luke's men brings a contract and offers it to Flint.
28:41Luke says, sign this contract.
28:43You damaged my car, so you have to compensate me.
28:46Flint cries and says, I'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, who harasses others, doesn'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, please have mercy on me.
29:07I can't afford to compensate you.
29:10I've learned my lesson.
29:11I say, no, 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, you're my biggest client.
29:26I'll go bankrupt if you don't pay me.
29:28Ash says, yes.
29:30You 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, I can't.
29:40Mr. Mills, the loan sharks will end me before the court comes to a decision.
29:44Ash continues.
29:45You 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 while the loan sharks will do anything to collect their
30:02debt.
30:03He cries and says, you're forcing me into a dead end.
30:07Ash replies, so 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, I'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, good job, Mr. Holt.
30:41I ask, am 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.
30:52Remember 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.
31:01I 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.
31:14I scoff.
31:14You were also harassing me just now.
31:16Now that you're in trouble, you'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, so they want more orders.
31:26Interest peaked, I ask.
31:27It would be troublesome for them to lose orders instead 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.
31:42Ash is this.
31:43Don't bother begging the boss.
31:45I'm going to cancel all your orders.
31:47I'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.
31:59I 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.
32:11And yet, you hope for others to pity your plight.
32:14The world isn't that kind.
32:15Luke says respectfully.
32:17Don't worry, boss.
32:18We'll handle the rest.
32:19I nod.
32:20Luke hesitates for a moment before continuing.
32:23Why 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.
32:37If I return to Emperor Group, my life will be easier.
32:40Lily 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.
32:47Lily's weak voice echoes from the receiver.
32:49We have a beautiful daughter, honey.
32:50My heart squeezes as warmth floods my chest.
32:53I hurriedly reply.
32:54I'm coming over now.
32:56You 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.
33:11I 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.
33:25Luke says.
33:26Emperor Group is clean now.
33:27We haven't done anything illegal in years.
33:30We're a proper business now.
33:31I smile bitterly and say.
33:33Emperor Group is clean because I haven't returned.
33:36If my enemies hear that I've gone back, do you think they'll let go of their previous grievances?
33:41End quote.
33:42Luke 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
34:07grievances.
34:08To ensure that everyone can live peacefully, especially Lily and our newborn, I have to
34:13stay 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.
34:41I ask.
34:41What are you doing?
34:42Luke replies.
34:43They made this dove a year ago, boss, but we didn't plan to give it to you, hoping you
34:47would 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.
34:56Once you accept this dove, the old Joholt will remain in history.
35:00Ash chimes in.
35:01Accept it and leave the past behind.
35:03These 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.
35:34Is it over now?
35:35I nod.
35:35She asks me.
35:36Did you bid a proper farewell to your past?
35:38I did.
35:39I'll always be by your side from now on.
35:41I'll be a good man and take care of you both.
35:44I hug her shoulder and murmur.
35:46I'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.
