Chapter 493: Love is Mutual Dependence and Winning Streak

Pang Da looked at her uncomprehendingly, "Why?"

Lisa never looked at him, "I can't convince myself to face you again!"

The doctor who was used to seeing such things was so shocked by the wounds on her body, so what about Pang Da?

Would he feel unable to accept it?

After all, those wounds were caused by humans, and were made by someone holding something on her body; she wasn't wearing clothes, otherwise it would be impossible to create such wounds.

Maybe he wouldn't realize anything now.

After his emotions calmed down, would that disturbing picture appear in his mind, and would the relationship between him and Lisa change?

But at this moment, Pang Da's emotions hadn't calmed down; the emotional fluctuations were still dominating him; he stood up abruptly and shouted loudly, "Why?"

"Just because someone hurt you, you want to leave me?"

"This fucking isn't your fault!"

Lisa cried again.

Before, when she was still in Red High Heels, although she felt painful, it was at least within her tolerance range.

Since marrying Pang Da, her tolerance for some things had become worse and worse.

She didn't speak, but cried so much that Pang Da's heart broke.

He walked back to the bedside and held Lisa in his arms, "I swore to God that no matter what you encountered, I would always love you!"

A grievance that had never been felt before rose from Lisa's inner heart; she could no longer control her emotions, holding Pang Da and crying bitterly like a child!

It seemed that such crying could vent all the pain, grievances, and unwillingness!

She decided to confess to Pang Da, confess the her of the past.

Love and family affection shouldn't have concealment and utilization; no matter whether Pang Da could finally accept her, she would confess.

Loving someone shouldn't be concealment, shouldn't be hurt!

"I have a matter buried in my heart for a long time; I think it's time to tell you..."

She talked about how she was cheated from the Empire to the Federation, talked about how she was controlled by the Kamila Gang, and how she was forced to be an escort in Red High Heels.

She talked about her past working for some wealthy people in the Bay Area, and also talked about Lans later intervening to save her.

But that was all; there was another deeper secret that she had always hidden in her heart and wouldn't tell Pang Da.

She didn't want to let Pang Da realize that their initial relationship wasn't pure; even though she loved the other party deeply now, she didn't want this secret to be exposed.

Because once she said it, some things would change.

Pang Da couldn't imagine everything his wife had encountered; he was a bit dazed, hesitant.

The person he loved... was actually a high-end prostitute?

For a moment, the whole world seemed to be shattered in front of him!

Looking at Pang Da, who had been lost for a long time and couldn't say a word, Lisa said her initial request again—

"Let's divorce; you are suitable for better people, not me!"

Pang Da, who had become a wooden man, seemed to have lost the ability to speak, standing there foolishly.

The next morning, Pang Da sat in the office in a daze; his mind was very messy.

He almost didn't sleep all night; it was only after five o'clock in the morning that he dozed off for a while, and then the alarm clock rang at eight-thirty.

He really didn't know how to face Lisa for a moment; he loved Lisa deeply, but the Lisa he loved deeply and the Lisa in reality didn't seem to be the same thing.

He was very dazed now, not knowing what to do.

His colleagues also saw that his state was very bad, and they didn't have any interest in talking, so no one disturbed him.

After ten o'clock in the morning, a colleague walked to his desk and knocked on the table, "Webb wants you to go to his office, with your documents."

Pang Da came to Webb's office in a daze, and naturally was scolded, because he delayed work.

Dai Er also heard that he seemed to have some problems, and found him in his office.

"Did you find Lisa?", he asked.

This keyword Lisa made Pang Da concentrate a little bit of attention; he looked at Director Dai Er for a while, nodded, "Thanks for the concern, the person has been found."

"Found is good; she didn't encounter anything, did she?"

Pang Da shook his head, "Everything is very good."

Director Dai Er revealed some smiles, "It's good that nothing happened; there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome between husband and wife; as long as you love each other sincerely, nothing can stop you from approaching each other."

"Your state looks very bad; do you want to give you a vacation?"

He thought highly of Pang Da; after all, Pang Da could be considered to be on his side naturally.

Pang Da is not a local of Jingang Cheng; although he is from Likalai State, he has no connections or relationships here.

He stood on Director Dai Er's side innately, and the only thing he could rely on was Director Dai Er.

Treating his own people, these rulers have always been tolerant.

Pang Da nodded, "I do need to rest for two days."

"Good, you hand over the work, and then go to rest.", he looked at Pang Da, "Remember, we are your strong backing!"

After coming out of the director's office, he handed the work in his hand to his colleague, and then drove away directly.

He was now urgently wanting to drink a little; he had never wanted to get himself drunk so strongly!

He knew where alcohol was sold; as a prohibition agent, he mastered the sales situation of alcohol in his jurisdiction.

Sometimes leaving some people with small shipments was to obtain more clues and information about smuggled alcohol.

He got a whole bottle of inferior whiskey from a scattered alcohol seller, eight dollars, outrageously expensive.

In the past, alcohol of this quality would at most be a little over one dollar, but now it costs eight dollars.

He wrapped the wine bottle with a newspaper and took a sip from time to time.

It must be said that although the taste of this bottle of inferior wine is not very good, the alcohol inside is not cheap at all, and soon he had a drunken feeling.

He sat on the park bench; the sunlight couldn't bring him any warmth; he felt that life seemed to have become gray!

I don't know how long it had passed, when suddenly someone spoke to him, "Sir, can you give me a sip too?"

He turned his head to look at the person beside him; it was a homeless man with a flattering smile on his face, staring tightly at the newspaper in Pang Da's hand.

Pang Da used several seconds to react; he handed the wine bottle to the other party, "Sure, just keep me company."

The homeless man was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, sir; your kindness and generosity can warm people's hearts more than the sun in winter!"

He held the newspaper and took a sip; the inferior whiskey made the homeless man shiver all over in an instant, refreshing!

The pungent alcohol made his whole person relax, and after exhaling a long breath, his emotions became exceptionally relaxed.

The two drank quite a bit, one sip after another; alcohol is something that once you drink, you have it, and once you drink, you have more.

The homeless man seemed embarrassed to drink Pang Da's wine for nothing, and couldn't help but say, "You look very worried; maybe you can chat with me."

"Although I look down and out now, I have also been successful before; maybe I can provide you with some free advice!"

Pang Da was stunned for a moment and laughed twice, "I do have a question."

"If the person you love deceived you, what would you do?"

"Just this?", the homeless man who took the wine bottle from Pang Da's hand took another sip, "Did she betray you?"

Pang Da blinked, lowered his head and said, "No."

"Then did she hurt you?"

"No." "And in the days you were together, did she make you feel painful?"

"No, when I was with her, I was very happy."

"She didn't betray you, didn't hurt you, and also made you feel happy..."

"Although I thank you for your generosity, sir, you are really a sentimental person!"

"Who doesn't have some secrets; is there anything you haven't told your lover?"

"Did you also deceive your lover?"

Pang Da snatched the wine bottle and took another big gulp, "But she concealed some of her previous experiences!"

The homeless man took off his hat and scratched his head; the tangled hair was steaming in the cold air, "Do you love her past, or do you love her present and future?"

"Listen, young man, love is love, not love is not love."

"Don't find excuses for not loving; if you don't love her anymore, then end all this."

"If you still love her, and she also loves you, then why torture each other?"

>

"You should be each other's reliance, not hurting each other!"

The homeless man's words made Pang Da fall into a dazed state; after a long while, he suddenly stood up and gave the homeless man a hug!

"Thank you, thank you brother; you gave me great help!", he took out all the money in his pocket, about thirty dollars, and stuffed it all into the homeless man's hand, "This is what you deserve!"

In the homeless man's somewhat dazed expression, Pang Da ran away.

Yes, he loves the Lisa who ended her previous life, not the previous her.

She started everything over after ending that terrible life, and the previous life wasn't her own wish; he wants to be Lisa's most reliable reliance, not a sharp knife stabbing at her!

She has been hurt and pitiful enough; he cannot hurt her anymore.

Now, he is going to see Lisa and tell her that no matter what she has experienced, he will accompany her to continue walking!

Sometimes when people are fragile, what they need most is a reliance.

Just like Lisa at this moment, she waited for what she wanted.

Until Lisa was discharged from the hospital, there was no news about what happened to them that day circulating in society; no one talked about this matter, including Hunter and Charlie, who didn't know what exactly happened that day, only knowing that the conflict between Lans and the Bay Area became more and more.

But this is a good thing for both of them; at least Lans won't fight for power with them in this regard, and at the same time, their value will constantly improve.

A hunting dog is only valuable when there is prey.

Once there is no prey, then the hunting dog will become the new prey, hunted by the hunter.

At the end of January, after a period of thinking and mental preparation, Pang Da took the initiative to contact Lans.

The deepest feeling this matter brought him was that power is above everything!

When a person has enough power, even if what he does is illegal, the law will stand on his side.

After the old worldview and values collapsed, on the ruins, a new worldview and values were being built rapidly, and would be bigger and higher than

Although the weather at the end of January is cold, some places appear exceptionally hot, such as the boxing ring.

After four fights, Ethan has already made a bit of a name for himself in the cruiserweight boxing circuit.

Fame is a useful thing not only in politics but also in sports, especially if you want to challenge more famous athletes; you cannot be a person without fame.

Ethan's four wins and four knockouts have made him famous, and the authoritative magazine "Boxing" even gave him about a palm-sized space.

The magazine called Ethan's matches visually impactful, saying his heavy punches are like super heavy artillery piercing the enemy's defense line, capable of deciding the outcome with a single blow!

Through his coach's maneuvering, Ethan's fifth fight has been set; his opponent is the somewhat famous "Steel Chin," also a big guy who fights with a very distinct style.

This guy rarely uses defensive moves, and his favorite thing to do in the ring is to trade punches with his opponent.

You hit me once, I hit you once, and we see who falls first, which is why he got the nickname "Steel Chin," describing how his chin is as fearless of punches as steel!

Speaking of Ethan, there is actually another very interesting thing: the film crew had originally found someone to play the demon Jason in *Angel Lake*, but in actual filming, he couldn't give people that feeling of horror and oppression at all.

Jason needs to give people a sense of gloomy oppression; he needs to look a bit stupid, but stupid in a way that makes people feel afraid.

No matter who the opponent is, he will finish them off, never dragging things out.

After auditioning many actors, there was no one suitable, and the entire film crew's shooting was put on hold because of this.

It just so happened that it was Ethan's fourth match at the time, and Gerald, in order to help boost Jason's popularity, invited the entire film crew to watch Ethan's boxing match.

When the director and screenwriter watched Ethan use a heavy rear-hand cannon to knock his opponent unconscious in the ring, and then silently look at the audience, a living, breathing "Jason" appeared before them!

Under Gerald's strong insistence, Alwin helped put in a good word, and Ethan agreed to audition.

The effect was very good.

Perhaps it was because they saw the silent killer in the ring killing his opponent, so when Ethan put on the hockey mask and held the machete, even if he said nothing and did nothing, he would give people a sense of horrific oppression!

It makes people subconsciously hold their breath and want to escape!

Thus, the true core character of this movie was decided, to be played by Ethan.

Fortunately, this movie doesn't require any acting skills; Ethan just needs to project that sense of oppression.

His large frame and the gloomy eyes occasionally visible through the mask were enough for him to play the role well.

Now the film reels are being copied, and the company plans to participate in this year's spring film exhibition.

Furthermore, Lanse intends to try using a profit-sharing method.

He believes this movie can achieve a miracle through sheer force and become a representative and pioneering film in cinematic history.

A great success seems within reach.

Accompanied by the "ding-ding-ding" sound of the shaking bell, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated. Ethan's coach patted his head, "Give him a punch, take the victory, just like every time before!"

There were already many spectators around, which was completely different from Ethan's first match!

At that time, there was no one watching the matches of a young man just starting out, only Lanse and the others.

But now, there were many people around, and heavyweight boxing matches are always the most passionate!

People love to see the confrontation between giants, love to see the power of someone being straightened out by a punch!

Violence and beauty are fused so perfectly at this moment that it makes people obsessed.

All around were cheers, and the sound of people shouting Ethan's name; Ethan had never been liked by so many people before.

He tapped his forehead with both fists, then, under the referee's instruction, touched gloves with the opposing boxer, and immediately separated.

The first round officially begins!

Lanse was also at the scene, and they were all holding a blue ticket in their hands with their betting information on it.

This is perhaps another reason why boxing matches are so popular—gambling.

The people running the book here are also from the Koda family; in New Jincheng, as long as it has to do with gambling, it can basically be linked to them.

Successive victories have kept Ethan's self-confidence growing; now his fighting style is more aggressive and more entertaining.

Just standing in the ring, he had a feeling that the opponent was no match for him.

The first round is logically a probing round, where both sides get to know each other's situation, such as reach.

But Ethan fought very aggressively, and the opponent was also a very arrogant person; seeing Ethan so aggressive, he also gave up probing, and both sides directly started outputting at full strength!

The audience's screams hadn't stopped since the beginning!

The commentator's mouth was like it was about to be cut off for non-payment, and if he didn't use it, it would be too late; the atmosphere at the match site was explosive!

Following a mistake by "Steel Chin" on the defensive end, when Ethan punched him in the chin, the look in "Steel Chin's" eyes straightened out in an instant and became clear!

He collapsed to the ground all at once, and the ring seemed to shake!

The referee immediately pushed Ethan away to check on "Steel Chin," then stood up and waved his arms in an X, indicating the match was over!

Although only a minute and some seconds had passed since the start, it gave everyone a sense of satisfaction that the ticket was worth it!

Especially those gamblers obsessed with Ethan continuing to win, they were laughing wildly!

Along with the smiles on their faces, there was also a group of people constantly tearing up their betting tickets, cursing at "Steel Chin" who had fallen to the ground!

Ethan glanced at "Steel Chin" being put on a stretcher, turned his head to face the boxing fans shouting his name with a smile, and waved his arms!

At this moment, he loves this ring!
