Female Novel
Chapter 1164
“Yes, Miss Garcia was wonderful. She was like a pure flower -simple and naive without any
malice in her. She was my boss’ motivation to survive. Eventually, he gained enough power
to leave the small fishing village, but he suppressed his talent and capabilities just so he
could be with her. He stayed in that tiny village and became a humble fisherman…”
“What happened afterwards? Where did she go? Why didn’t my brother mention her?”
Renee had so many questions.
“After that…” Chase frowned and murmured, “That wicked brother of hers bullied her, so my
boss beat him up and ran away with Miss Garcia. I was a rebel too back then, so I
went with them. We were just broke kids at the time, so we decided to go to the chaotic
Water Dock to survive. We then risked our lives to establish Carmine Pawnshop.”
“Quinton really is amazing… All of you were.” Renee could not imagine how three penniless
youths established
Carmine Pawnshop in that land of chaos. It was the border of three countries, and was full
of savage people.
Only they knew the pain and hardships they had to endure.novelbin
“Miss Garcia and I were ordinary, but your brother was something else. He was handsome
and charming, and even though we had nothing, he managed to secure a whole lot of
orders, especially ones from female customers. Soon, Carmine Pawnshop grew by leaps
and bounds, and his reputation as the Night Demon also grew…”
Chase smiled sadly at the memory. “At that time, Joanne was our princess, and as her
knights, we protected her from the evil in the world. She enjoyed a pampered life without
learning the ways of the world, and maybe that was what gave a villain the chance to use
her.”
“Villain… Who was that?” Renee had a name in mind, but she prayed and hoped that it
wasn’t the case.
“Miss Everheart, you’re not stupid. I’m sure you can guess who it was…” Chase grimaced as
he was forced to recall that unfortunate memory. “That year, Carmine Pawnshop was at the
peak of its glory, but at some point, it butted heads with the Hunt family’s industrial chain.
Stefan had just taken over some of his family’s properties at that time, so he saw Carmine
Pawnshop as a way to prove himself. Both parties fought each other for many years, but it
was neck and neck…
“The Hunt family did well in legitimate businesses, but they weren’t used to underground
dealings. They couldn’t fight my boss since he was more experienced in that area, and he
had been overtaking them the whole time, but the situation soon changed… thanks to the
cunning Stefan. He found my boss’ weakness-Miss Garcia, an innocent and gullible young
woman. He approached her and bewitched her until she betrayed my boss.”
Chase clenched his fists tightly, his lip curling in anger.” Initially, my boss had the upper
hand during the great battle at sea that year, but Miss Garcia stabbed my boss to protect
Stefan before Stefan slashed his face. Desperate and
downcast, he jumped into the sea, and Miss Garcia went missing after that…”
“What?” Renee was dumbfounded, and couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Is Stefan…
really that cunning and wicked?
