Agnes was gobsmacked.
The guy in front of her was actually such a big shot, yet she had casually accepted him as her foster father.
Now she understood why she was ganged up on by those thugs.
Even though they had the upper hand, they suddenly looked like they'd seen a ghost.
They were very frightened. Turned out it was because of the string of beads Albert had given her.
Back then, a thug named Mono had cut her arm with a knife, instantly severing the thread of the beads.
The beads scattered all over the ground.
Mono's face suddenly became frightened when he saw the beads.
Turns out they recognized the beads as Albert's personal belongings.
No wonder when Mono and his gang turned themselves in later, they all had injuries, but none of them dared to say who did it.

Agnes was still reeling from the shock.
She suddenly remembered when she first met Albert, he was just working in a small restaurant.
How could such a person be a bigwig in the underworld?
Seeing Agnes' stunned expression.
Albert smiled faintly, "Did my notorious reputation scare the pants off you?"
Agnes quickly shook her head, "I just thought, I just thought..."
