Right after Charles walked out of prison, he immediately went to fix his two front teeth, continuing to live a carefree life under the protection of the Iverson family.
Despite his bruised face, it did not stop him from throwing a wild party at the Iverson Manor’s courtyard. He invited a bunch of young models over, indulging in an extravagant revelry of wine and pleasure.
However, an unfortunate impotence plagued him, allowing him to see but not partake in the pleasures before him.
His frustrations led him to consume an entire pack of aphrodisiacs, which resulted in a severe case of poisoning.

Could it be a Vermilion Bird—the emblem of Savrow’s most formidable gang, the Southern Star Syndicate?!
Hunter screamed in horror, instinctively clutching his head as if reacting to a shock, his teeth chattering as his body broke into a cold sweat.
