It was then that the assistant returned with a cup of black coffee for Peter. The other man accepted the
cup and took a sip. His handsome face twitched, and then he looked up at the assistant coldly.
The assistant was taken aback by his expression. 'You specifically asked for black coffee a while ago.
I'm sure I didn't add any sugar at all, ' he thought to himself.
"If you were my assistant, I would have fired you already. Now get out." Peter waved his hand
dismissively. It was really as if he owned the entire place.
Gnashing his teeth, the assistant only glared at Peter. But when he saw the stern look that Kevin was
giving him, he had no choice but to leave.
Immediately, Peter became gravely serious. He said, "Kim isn't working alone. His father is probably
supporting him as well. After so many years, do you really think you have a grasp on how wide his
network is?"
Anne and Kevin pondered on this question for some time. And while they didn't know how Kim started
on this path, they didn't expect him to inherit his father's business.
"Back then, it was very popular to join the underworld. But now in a society ruled by law, it is not a very
good career." Peter shook his head and whispered, "As far as I know, Kim has started to whitewash
what he had done a few months ago. He almost got into a gunfight once, but that didn't ruin his plans at
all.
Now, he goes by the name of Cory Li instead of Kim. He has a whole new identity so that he can start
again with a clean slate. It's the reason why he is bold enough to make AS Group his own."
"One can never really hide everything from the rest of the world, right? Can Kim really do that? Is he
really that sure of himself?" Anne asked. She shook her head.
"What about Cherry?" Peter turned to look at Anne and smiled faintly.
Anne instantly understood what that meant. They all knew that Cherry couldn't just change her identity
completely and disappear without a trace on her own. Apparently, Kim had been helping her all along.
"It seems like Kim has everything planned beforehand." It was then that Anne realized how terrifying
the man was.
Kevin kept silent the whole time, but deep in his heart, he couldn't help but take this opponent seriously.
"Well, now that I have said everything that I should, I should go." Peter smiled gently as he kept his
eyes on the cup of coffee on the table. He then shook his head and said, "By the way, your assistant is
really not as capable as my former assistant."
Upon hearing this comment, Kevin and Anne couldn't help but frown a little. They then watched Peter
leave.
Peter was not a good man, and so his warning was very unusual.
"Peter has always been working with Kim, but now that Kim has stolen his company..." Kevin shook his
head with a smile.
Anne raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything else. It didn't matter what Peter and Kim wanted to
do. She knew it was probably all just a trap. All they could do now was remain vigilant.
"Back then, Kim prefered to work in the shadows. But now, he's really stepping into the spotlight. This
isn't so bad for us," Kevin said reassuringly after a moment of silence.
Anne nodded in agreement.
But that didn't mean they would just give up. They would immediately approach their private detectives
and ask them to investigate Kim's identity. This way, they could prove that he and Corry were the same
person and have him sent to prison.
They knew it would be a difficult road ahead.
However, nothing was ever easy in the world, wasn't it? But they would still face the difficulties. This
was their attitude towards life.
Kevin and Anne discussed the matter for a while before the former sent his assistant to go to AS group
in person. It was a great thing that his old friend was now the CEO. So he sent his assistant to
schedule for a get-together.
In the AS Company, everyone was surprised to find out that the AS Group CEO had been replaced.
The new CEO was a very capable fellow. On his first day, he was able to make some deals that Ryan
failed to achieve before. This had greatly pleased the whole company.
If this continued to happen in the future, the company would definitely earn more money.
In his office, Kim, who was now known as Cory, only sneered at Kevin's invitation.
It seemed like Kevin and Anne had finally gotten the news of his takeover as soon as they got back in
town. It was probably Peter who had informed them.
And while the other man proved to be nosy, Kim didn't mind.
"Please tell Mr. Kevin that I will be there on time." Cory smiled. He might look gentle, but there was a
darkness behind his face.
Kevin's assistant didn't dare to stay any longer. He quickly turned around and left at once. He initially
thought that Kevin's cold attitude was frightening especially when he was angry, but it was nothing
compared to the coldness and gloominess from the new AS Group CEO.
He guessed that the man wasn't as simple as he looked. Otherwise, how could he snatch up the CEO
position from Peter's nose?
In the afternoon, Bob's mother called Anne. They hadn't received any news so far, and so she wanted
to ask Anne if she had heard anything.
Only a few days had passed, so there were no news yet. Bob's mother was very disappointed to hear
this, but there was nothing she could do.
However, both Anne and Kevin had a feeling that this matter had something to do with Kim. But they
didn't have any evidence to prove this.
They knew the other party's background, and so they weren't afraid of their enemy. But without proof,
there was no way they could force them to hand over Bob.
If it was some other group who caught Bob, this would have been a lot easier to deal with. But this
person was not like any other people. This was the most troublesome one. After all, this was Kim they
were talking about.
