Chapter 55 Benefits Of A Bad Reputation
"Ah~!"
The excruciating pain left Carol unable to breathe.
Originally, the pedestrians on the street all stood far away and dared not approach.
Some people whispered.
"Isn\'t that Big Ivan, the boss of the Russian gang? How did Carol provoke him?"
"No matter how he provoked Ivan, Carol is in big trouble now."
A Russian strongman looked around at the onlookers, and they were all startled and ran away in fright.
Ivan looked at Carol, who seemed lifeless, and said coldly, "Take him back."
Back at their base, Carol was subjected to another brutal beating.
"Please stop hitting me, spare me."
Ivan walked up, looked down at Carol lying on the ground, and said coldly, "What mistake did you do?"
"I shouldn\'t have looked at you."
"Big Ivan, please don\'t kill me, I know I was wrong!" Carol pleaded tearfully.
Street thugs like Carol had no dignity and were especially afraid of death.
"If you don\'t want to die, there\'s a way to survive," Ivan said.
"What way?"
Ivan waved to his men, and one of them brought a piece of paper. Ivan slapped it in front of Carol. "Sign it."
Carol looked and saw that it was an IOU.
I borrowed $5,000 from Ivan at a high interest rate.
Carol wasn\'t stupid; he knew that once he signed this IOU, he would be targeted by these people for life, subject to relentless extortion until he was bled dry.
"Big Ivan, I..."
Ivan\'s gun was once again pointed at Carol\'s head.
"If you don\'t sign, I\'ll have someone throw you into the sewer to drown," Ivan said viciously.
Carol knew Ivan would definitely do it.
He didn\'t want to die, trembling, he picked up the pen and signed his name.
Ivan picked up the IOU, looked at it, and smiled, patting Carol\'s head. "With this evidence, even in court, I\'ll win. I still have faith in the law."
Carol thought to himself, you believe in the law! Yeah, right.
Ivan then produced two more documents and threw them in front of Carol. Carol looked puzzled at Ivan.
"What are these, Big Ivan?"
"One is a consent form for two girls to enter a private boarding school, the other is a custody agreement. Take them back and have your wife sign" Ivan said.
Carol wasn\'t stupid.
He finally understood why Ivan had suddenly caused trouble for him, It must have been arranged by Lancer.
At this moment he hated Lancer and hated that woman even more.
If not for her, how could he have suffered such a beating today and faced death threats from the Russian mafia?
"I want to see the agreement today. If I don\'t get it, your body will be floating in the gutter tomorrow," Ivan said.
A car stopped at Carol\'s house. Carol got out, and Ivan said, "We\'ll wait here for you. My patience is limited. You have half an hour at most, otherwise, you know the consequences."
Carol, trembling, walked towards his house with the agreement in hand.
He pushed open the door.
His wife was doing needlework, and seeing Carol covered in dirt with bruises and blood on his face, she stood up with concern. "What happened to you, Carol? Why are you injured?"
Carol thought most of these injuries were because of you. He was consumed by hatred, and without hesitation, he slapped the woman\'s face hard.
Smack!
Mary\'s face immediately swelled up, with blood at the corner of her mouth.
"Carol, why did you hit me?"
Mary cried out in pain.
Carol glared at Mary viciously. "It\'s all because of you, stupid woman. If it weren\'t for you, would I have been beaten so badly by the Russians?"
"Since I met you, I\'ve had no good days. You\'re a jinx."
Carol took out the documents from his body and slapped them on the table. "Sign these things now; hurry up."
Consent form.
Allow Gina and Samantha to enter the private boarding school for study.
Turning to another document.
It was the guardianship Change Agreement.
Agree to transfer guardianship to Lancer.
"Lancer! did Lancer trouble you?" Mary looked at Carol and asked.
"If it wasn\'t him, who else could it be? He got gangsters to threaten me. If you don\'t sign, they\'ll kill me. Hurry up and sign." Carol said angrily.
Mary shook her head. "I won\'t sign. If I sign, Gina and Samantha will no longer be mine."
Carol was furious, grabbed Mary\'s hair, and shouted in frustration, "If you don\'t sign, I\'ll be beaten to death by them, do you understand?"
"But if I sign, I will lose my daughters. I want to talk to Lancer." Mary made a final struggle.
"Do you think you still have a chance to find him now? The gangsters are waiting outside. If I don\'t hand it over quickly, they\'ll kill me right away!"
The woman cried and signed the agreement.
Carol quickly took the agreement and left. Ivan took the documents, looked at them, nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Carol and smiled, "This matter is over. Oh, by the way, do you need some medical expenses for your injuries?"
Surviving this disaster was already considered good luck, he didn\'t dare ask the Russian gang for medical expenses or anything else he just want this people to disappear from his life.
Ivan and his group drove away.
Carol returned home, the woman was still crying, having lost her children, feeling like her world had collapsed, she used to have a glimmer of hope for Carol but now all she felt was disappointment and hatred.
If it weren\'t for him, how could she have ended up like this?
In the playground, the children were still playing.
Lancer and Richard were there with them.
At this moment, a tall man, about two meters tall, walked up to them. "Hey, Richard, the boss sent me to bring you something."
Richard introduced him to Lancer. "Sir, this is Ivan, the boss of the Russian gang."
Lancer was a little stunned, why is the boss of the Russian gang here?
"Hello, Mr. Lancer. Boss Hardy asked me to bring these to you." Ivan said as he took out the two agreements from his pocket.
14:44
"Hello, Mr. Lancer. Boss Hardy asked me to bring these to you." Ivan said as he took out the two agreements from his pocket.
Lancer took a look and was greatly surprised. "These are the enrollment consent and guardianship agreement, and Mary\'s signature."
Then Lancer remembered what Richard had said.
If you want to get consent and guardianship, Hardy could arrange it for you. Lancer had some expectations, but he didn\'t expect things to happen so quickly.
"Thank you, Ivan." Lancer tightly held the agreements and expressed his gratitude.
"Haha, you\'re welcome. I\'m just following the boss\'s orders. Well, I\'ll take my leave now, Mr. Lancer, Richard Goodbye." Ivan smiled and took his leave.
What followed went very smoothly.
The next day, Gina and Samantha were sent to the boarding school. The two girls would receive adequate food, a good education, and, most importantly, a safe environment there.
A few days later, Carol came out of the bar; it was already dark outside.
He staggered home.
Suddenly, a black sedan whizzed by, and Carol was thrown out with a bang. By the time people found him, he was already cold.
The police determined it was a traffic accident. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The car that caused the accident fled, and there was no way to trace it.
In this era, there were no surveillance cameras.
Of course. In some countries, there were few cameras even in later generations.
As for suspects, although Carol had been beaten up by the Russian gang a few days ago, no one suspected them because many people felt this was not the Russian style of doing things.
How would the Russians do it?
A gunshot to the head or beating to death with an iron rod on the street, not using such discreet methods as causing a car accident, which the Russian gang considered unmanly,.
Having a bad reputation had its benefits.
