Chapter 2517

Jim channeled all the strength in his body into this punch, and after falling onto the ground, Malcolm
could not even make a sound, much less move any part of his body. He felt as though all his internal
organs had shifted from this blow, and he wanted nothing more than to pick himself back up again. He
could not. No matter how hard he tried, he could not. Despair and hopelessness enveloped his entire
being.

However, Jim did not seem to think this was enough. Instead, he grabbed hold of Malcolm‘s collar and
punched him again.

Malcolm slumped limply on the ground like a fish out of water.

“Anything else you wanted to say?” Joshua shifted into a more comfortable position in his chair and
stared down at Malcolm from his towering height. “You should know that you‘re no longer Malcolm
Quinn.

“Malcolm Quinn has been kicked out of Merchant City and is no longer welcomed into this city. Your new
identity is Lucifer Howard, a driver and laborer working for Thomas Howard.

“If you die right here, everyone in Merchant City will know that Jim beat one of Thomas‘ employees to
death, but no one will know that you‘re Malcolm Quinn, and no one will avenge your death.” Joshua
narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Malcolm. “If Jim continues, I‘ll have to contact Thomas to send
one of his men here to remove your corpse.”

Malcolm stared helplessly at the man towering over him like a king.

He knew that he had failed.

He had failed in all of his conquests.

Before this, he thought he had a fighting chance.



Before coming to Swan Lake Chalet, he had intended to use the three children as pawns to threaten
Joshua.

When faced with Joshua‘s wrath and Jim‘s aggression, he finally knew…that he had failed.

He was no match for Joshua after all.

In the past, he was proud of his intelligence; he had sought out Thomas and snuck back into Merchant
City by changing his identity and had felt victorious over this.

He thought that as long as he returned to Merchant City, he would have a chance to start over At this
very moment, he knew that he was wrong. The biggest mistake he had ever committed was changing his
identity.

Just as Joshua said, he was no longer Malcolm Quinn but Lucifer Howard instead.

A man with no background Aeo$/B&123; no past, but just someone who worked for Thomas Howard as a
laborer and driver.

Even if Jim pulverized him to death, no one would care about such a lowly employer, much less help him
seek revenge.

What did he have left?

What else did he have to help him walk out of Swan Lake Chalet alive?

Malcolm closed his eyes and finally had no choice. “I…I didn‘t bring it with me, so I can‘t give it to you
now.” He opened his eyes to glance first at Joshua, then at Jim. “If…if you‘re willing to show me mercy.…
I‘ll go retrieve it for you right now!” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk. “Okay. We‘ll go with you right
now.”



With that, he stood up and strode out the door.

Jim furrowed his brows and quickly followed, asking in a low voice, “What are we going to retrieve?” “The
remainder of the poison that was used to kill Bonnie.”
