NovelOnlinePerhaps the powers held by the Four Great Families were the tip of the iceberg – At least, that of what
the ordinary people perceived.
Nevertheless, everybody here had a clear understanding of the families’ positions in Cloudtopia.
It would not take much effort for the second-best Curreys to crush anyone here.
Yet, the inked man had the audacity to walk away with money belonging to Adam, the heir of the
Curreys.
That was a road leading straight to hell!
With that in mind, the cheque felt heavy in the tattooed man’s hand.
Another horrifying reality dawned on him.
Adam got out of his car and made a beeline toward Skylar, getting on bended knee and addressing the
man with an honorific.
The tattooed man did not think much of it as Adam was no threat to him back then.
Now that he came to know Adam was the heir of the Currey household, it could only mean that Skylar

Boom!
The newfound realization blew the tattooed man’s mind.
For the heir of the Curreys to bow down in reverence… the person must be something else!
The tattooed man shuddered at the thought.
He had upset someone even the heir of the Curreys was eager to please!
Taking the hint from his ashen face, his henchmen behind looked at Skylar in fear.
The refined-looking gentleman did not only hold great powers, but he was also a man of considerable
standing!
It was beyond their imagination.
It took a while before the tattooed man plucked up the courage to present the cheque to Adam with
both hands. He uttered with bated breath, “Mr. Currey… I can’t take your money.”
Adam made it clear earlier that by taking the cheque, the tattooed man was making an enemy out of
him and the Curreys.
It was not a risk the tattooed man could take.
“Are you taking Mr. Stone’s money since you can’t take mine?”
Adam asked.
The tattooed man was no longer the lofty man he was.
Cowering in the presence of Adam, the tattooed man shook his head incessantly and exclaimed, “No…
I wouldn’t dare. I can never possibly take Mr. Stone’s money.
“Mr. Currey, I had no idea who you were. Please, sir. I beg you. Have mercy on me!”
The tattooed man was on the verge of tears.
All he came for was to demand repayment of a loan, but Skylar came in his path instead.
Had the tattooed man known, he would rather die than bring his men here to cause a scene.
“Am I the person you should be pleading to?”
Adam curtly inquired.
Dumbstruck at first, the tattooed man got the message and immediately apologized to Skylar,
Nathaniel, and the others, “Mr. Fuller, Mr. Stone, I was way out of line to say what I said. I deserve to

“We can forget about Ash’s two-million-dollar loan. I don’t want the money. I’ll take my men and leave
right now. I can promise we’ll never show our faces in your presence.”
The tattooed man was ready to head for the hills.
Skylar scoffed and replied, “You should collect money from whoever owes you. It had nothing to do with
me, to begin with. I don’t need that favor from you!”
“You’re right. The outrageous girl isn’t worth your time.”
The tattooed man jumped in to echo his sentiment.
“The debt’s between you and Ash. Settle that among yourselves.
“But you barged into my home, threatened my parents and daughter, and insulted my wife and sister.
What are we going to do about that?”
“I…”
Panic alighted in the tattooed man’s eyes.
Skylar glanced at him. “You had your chance, but instead of letting up, you decided to take things
further.
“Now, it’s time for you to pay for your foolish behavior!”
