No, no, Malcolm shook his head silently, thinking it ware.
Madelyn went straight to the Oceanic Empire stronghold after leaving the casino.
She remembered Phantom telling her that if she ever had a problem, she could seek his help.

Since she was now going up against Charlie, and likely Pigeon as well, she came seeking assistance.
The stronghold was set up in a clubs.
As Madelyn entered, several guards at the door stopped her. “Miss, I’m sorry, but without an invitation…”
They stopped mid–sentence as Madelyn took out the token Phantom had given her.
Everyone in the Oceanic Empire knew that seeing this token was equivalent to seeing one of the two. major aides of Morgana.
The two guards immediately stepped aside and respectfully said, “Please come in.”
Madelyn put away the token and walked in.
Since this was the Oceanic Empire stronghold, most of the people here were its members, along with some business and political elites collaborating with the organization.
Everyone stared at Madelyn with a mix of unfamiliarity and wariness.
Though the place appeared as a club, ordinary people couldn’t just walk in.
ho is this woman?
“Hello, miss. May I ask who you are?” A well–dressed Clusian man approached politely.
Madelyn didn’t answer. She sized him up.
He wore a badge on his chest that read “Manager.”
She asked coldly, “Are you in charge here?”
“Yes.” The man nodded, still puzzled. “But you are?”
Madelyn took out the token again.
“You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to know that I need your people to help me.”
The manager’s face changed upon seeing the token.
The Oceanic Empire had a rule that seeing this token was like seeing one of the two major aides. The people holding this token were usually under special protection and had significant status,
His attitude instantly turned respectful. He dared not ask Madelyn’s identity and directly asked, “How many people do you need? Just give the word.”

She coldly said. “I’m going to deal with some people. You handle the arrangements,”
Her tone and demeanor were naturally authoritative, like a high and mighty queen.
The manager dared not slack off and immediately began arranging people for her.
Madelyn then called Septimus.
Septimus was talking with Sebastian. Seeing Madelyn’s call, he was momentarily stunned.

Sebastian didn’t need to look to guess who it was. He nodded, signaling Septimus to take the call.
When the call connected, Madelyn’s voice rang out clearly. “Septimus, when does Charlie usually come to
the black market?”
Septimus had already looked into it and replied, “He cones almost every night. It won’t be hard to find
him.”
Suddenly, Septimus‘ heart skipped a beat. “Wait! You’re looking for Charlic? Ms. Thornton, don’t act impulsively. There’s no need to rush.”
Madelyn smiled confidently. “Don’t worry, I have my ways of dealing with him. I just wanted to confirm if he’s at the black market. Since he is, that’s good.”
She hung up, a cold gleam in her eye.
Soon, the team was ready. Madelyn led the Oceanic Empire’s people and set off directly.
At that moment, Charlie was lavishly spending money at the casino.
He even had a beauty wrapped in one arm, occasionally stealing a quick peck on their lips. He appeared to be the epitome of a carefree and unrestrained playboy
However, in no time, he lost the few million he had brought.
Annoyed, he blamed his bad luck on the two women and slapped them each. “Get lost!”
He stormed out of the casino, cursing and blaming the women for his bad luck.
His lackeys laughed and teased, “Mr. Quinton, it’s just a bit of money. You’ll win it back tomorrow.”
“Exactly, the money is nothing to you. Don’t get worked up over it.”
Being vain, Charlie felt better hearing this. “Okay, since you’re being so considerate

The few lackeys by his side immediately broke into delighted grins.
I’ll treat you to a
Suddenly, a sharp female voice called from ten meters away, “Feast? How about some suffering first?”
“Who is that?” Charlie turned, alert.
Over a dozen towering figures clad in black abruptly approached, effectively blocking his way.
Madelon quickly walked un and stood before Charlie She

right?”
Having followed Pigeon, Charlie had seen his fair share of the world. This level of display couldn’t
intimidate him.
In a fit of anger, he demanded, “Who do you think you are? How dare you block my way?”
Finished
Madelyn looked at him like an idiot, “I advise you not to be so arrogant. I’m here to settle a score,” she scoffed icily.
Settle a score!
Upon hearing these words, Charlie was instantly reminded of the millions he had just lost, and his anger flared up. “You lot think you can settle scores with me?et me tell you, if you know what’s good for you. you’d better get lost right… Ow!”
His words turned into screams of pain.
Someone from the Oceanic Empire swung a merciless plow, and Charlie felt as if his arm was about to break. Yet, he refused to back down. He continued to shout, “Who exactly are you? How dare you hit me? Do you have a death wish?”
After speaking, he was about to rush forward and start fight with the man holding the baton.
As a result, the man viciously kicked him in the stomach, sending him sprawling on his back once again.
The ordeal wasn’t over yet. The man in black stepped forward once again, ruthlessly stomping on Charlie’s
wrist.
The force beneath his foot was incredibly strong! With a twist of his foot, the man instantly broke the arm of Charlie, who immediately let out a heart–wrenchingery of agony.
The surrounding underlings watched the scene unfold and inhaled in shock,
Madelyn observed the unfolding scene, devoid of any emotion. Instead, a cold thought crossed her mind. The audacity of Charlie to conspire with Eunice to harm my dad! Having only a hand severed was letting him off easy!
