Chapter 743 -742: Black Hawk Gang
Catherine said, “I know someone like Richard, a big shot like him, indeed wouldn’t cling to your case, but just because he isn’t clinging, doesn’t mean others won’t. Those who wish to please Richard will watch closely, and I can’t take that risk.”
Harriman felt a bit desperate, “Boss, between us…”
Catherine didn’t wish to hear any more from Harriman, cutting him off, “There is no ‘between us’ anymore. From now on, you are no longer an artist under my company. Tomorrow, the company will issue a statement. Your payment for this period will be sent to you, but prepare yourself mentally, after deducting various expenses, there won’t be much left for you. You can leave now.”
Harriman truly felt Catherine’s ruthlessness.
No matter what, he had served Catherine.
Even if he was just a plaything to Catherine, there should be some feelings involved.
...
One can form an attachment to a dog; even more so to a man like himself.
But looking at Catherine, ready to kick him out without hesitation, her heartlessness was to the extreme.
He opened his mouth as if wanting to say something more, but Catherine pointed to the door with a cold voice and commanded, “Leave immediately. I don’t want to see you ever again!”
Upon hearing this, Harriman became somewhat angry.
Damn it, I’ve served you with all my might, and just because you don’t want to take a risk, you kick me to the curb with one blow.
A ferocious look appeared in his eyes, and he decided he would teach Catherine a harsh lesson.
Let Catherine know that he too had a temper.
Since there was no hope of relying on Catherine anyway, what did it matter if he taught Catherine a lesson?
However, just as he was about to take action, he heard Catherine’s cold laughter, “What, by the look on your face, do you have some other idea in mind about me?”
Hearing this, Harriman was jolted into awareness.
In his anger, he had indeed forgotten that Catherine was not a weak woman, but a highly skilled judo practitioner.
While other women practiced yoga for fitness, Catherine practiced judo.
Catherine’s figure was so perfect because it was the result of her judo training.
And it was more effective than many who practiced yoga.
Against someone like him, Catherine alone could take on several.
It was for this reason, her superior physical strength and stamina, coupled with the fact that Catherine was at an age where she was like a tiger in heat, particularly in need of men,
that she continuously replaced her young lovers to satisfy those needs.
Not to mention, Catherine had bodyguards following her; it was just a question of where they were.
He believed that if he dared to make a move, Catherine’s bodyguards would arrive within a minute.
If he couldn’t handle Catherine alone, there was no question of managing when she had bodyguards as well.
He truly had been blinded by anger to have had harmful thoughts about Catherine.
With this realization, Harriman hastily said, “Boss, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t have such thoughts. Everything you said just now, I remember it all. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. I will leave immediately.”
Having said that, Harriman quickly turned and left, soon disappearing from Catherine’s sight.
Catherine relocked the door and sat back down on the sofa, Xu Yang’s image coming to mind; a bright light shimmered in her eyes.
This was the first time she had felt such interest in a man. She felt she had fallen in love with Xu Yang.
At first sight of Xu Yang, she felt nothing.
But after watching the surveillance footage, seeing Xu Yang take down over a dozen of Harriman’s security personnel in a matter of seconds, she felt herself capitulate.
Wealthy, with potential, and superb martial skills, he was the perfect partner she had been looking for.
This was the reason she had followed Xu Yang.
She wanted to find a way to get to know Xu Yang, and somehow make him her man.
…
After leaving Catherine’s apartment, Harriman reached the ground floor.
“Catherine, you bitch. After all the time I’ve served you, you just kick me aside just like that. If only I could beat you, I’d kill you!”
Harriman spat out the words through gritted teeth, cursing vehemently.

But cursing would never solve anything.
Now that he could no longer be a star, kicked to the curb by Catherine, having offended Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, along with Richard’s affair, word would definitely spread.
No company would sign with him again; his path to stardom had been utterly destroyed.
Originally, he had thought to use Catherine to kidnap and extort money from Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, but that plan had fizzled out too. He had to think of another way.
Pondering his options, he hailed a cab and headed to the East District.
The East District was the most chaotic area in Newford; it was even more disordered than the notorious Brooklyn.
Even those living in Brooklyn looked down upon the people of the East District.
Those who could survive in such chaos were mostly the scums of society.
There was a public park in the East District where you wouldn’t find beautiful scenery or elderly ladies dancing in the square; what you would find were tents scattered all over the ground.
Living within these tents were either homeless wanderers or drug addicts.
This place was also known as the Home of Wanderers.
Even the police were reluctant to enter the communities of the East District.
Gangs were everywhere here, with gang fights every day and deaths occurring daily.
The police wouldn’t meddle too much; as long as things didn’t get too noisy and affect the overall image of Newford, that was enough for them.
Among these many gangs, there was one named the Black Hawk Gang.
This was a mid-sized gang in the East District with dozens of members, both black and white.
Harriman had once been a part of the Black Hawk Gang before he was discovered and became a star, thus leaving the Black Hawk Gang behind.
Now, he was no longer a star and since he couldn’t leverage Catherine’s power to kidnap and extort Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, his only option was to turn to the Black Hawk Gang.
Arriving at the headquarters of the Black Hawk Gang, he stood in front of a three-story building.
At the entrance, two thugs were shocked to see Richard.
“You’re Harriman?”
The two thugs wore looks of disbelief on their faces.
This former brother had actually returned.
You see, ever since Harriman became a star, he had cut all ties with the Black Hawk Gang.
This had infuriated the boss, who said that Harriman was ungrateful and forgot his brothers upon finding success.
If Harriman had still cared about brotherhood, he wouldn’t have cut ties but would have instead arranged for his brothers to leave this filthy, chaotic place and live the life of the rich.
Now, Harriman had returned, and he seemed to be hurt.
What exactly was the situation?
They didn’t watch the news, so they didn’t know about what had happened that very evening.
“It’s me, I’m here to see the boss; is he around?” Harriman asked indifferently.
“He’s here, but whether the boss is willing to see you or not, I don’t know. I’ll have to report your visit,” one thug said.
“Fine, go report. Tell him I’ve got a good opportunity for him; he will definitely want to see me,” Harriman said.
“Alright, wait here,” the thug went to report, and returned two minutes later, “Harriman, the boss agrees to see you. Follow me.”
“You don’t need to show the way; I know where the boss’s office is. I can find it myself,” Harriman said, indicating his familiarity with the place and his good relationship with the boss.
“Harriman, that was before you left. Now the boss has moved his office,” the thug replied.
“Oh? Where to? Isn’t it still in this building? Is it necessary to move?” Harriman asked, puzzled.
“The boss had us refurbish the rooftop two months ago. Now he works from the top floor, saying it’s better to look far from a higher stance and he will surely lead the brothers to fortune,” Harriman commented.
“I see,” Harriman nodded, “a very good idea indeed. I’ve come this time with a way to make the brothers rich, which I need to discuss with the boss.”
“Really? If that’s the case, I’m sure the boss will be very pleased,” the thug remarked.
