Meanwhile…
As the BOSS’s people appeared at the dock, Hugo stood hidden on the other side.
Watching the dock, his lips were pressed into a tight line, his gaze carrying a hint of coldness.

If they hadn’t approached Scarlett first, if they hadn’t provoked him, he might have turned a blind eye and let them go. But
now, letting them off would make him seem too lenient.
Sometimes, people need a lesson to understand that they should keep a low profile on someone else’s turf.
With that thought, a cold smile crept onto his lips, and his eyes grew even more inscrutable.
Just then, Henry and another man approached.
“Boss.”
Hugo turned, glancing at the man with a calm demeanor. “What’s up?”
“It’s someone from Ray’s side. They want to thank you in person,” Henry explained.
The man, upon seeing Hugo, bowed slightly. “Mr. Hodges, I’m here on behalf of my boss to express our gratitude. He’s not
in Port City, but he said that if you ever need anything from him, just ask, and he’ll be more than willing to help.”
Upon hearing this, Hugo’s lips curled slightly, as if he didn’t take it seriously at all. “Alright, let your boss know I’ve got it.”
“But…” the man hesitated, looking at Hugo, “there’s another matter where we might need your help, Mr. Hodges.” His tone
was uncertain, and his eyes showed concern.
Hugo narrowed his eyes slightly, giving him a sidelong glance. “What help? Speak.”
The man pondered for a moment before speaking, “The boss wants you to help us secure that batch of goods. After all, this is your territory, and if you step in, we can definitely get it without fail.” After saying this, he cautiously looked up at
Hugo.

In the dark of night, his well–defined and determined features flickered in and out of shadow, making his thoughts
impossible to read.
At this moment, Henry spoke coldly, “Is your boss really that calculating? We’ve already handed over the information to
you, and now you want us to help you secure it too? How can you even ask for that? Is that what you call help? Why not
just say you want us to hand it over directly?”
The man listened but remained silent, fully aware of the logic behind Henry’s words. That’s precisely why he was afraid to
relay the message.
Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?
Seeing the man remain silent, Henry continued, “Since your boss can’t handle it, go back and tell him to pretend this never
happened. We’ll deal with the goods ourselves. Why hand it over? Even a fly’s leg is still meat,” Henry said with a mocking
tone.
Hearing this, the man’s eyebrows furrowed. “It’s really because we’re short on people this time…”
“Is it a shortage of people, or a lack of trust?” Hugo interrupted, cutting him off before he could finish.
His gaze was probing, filled with scrutiny.
The man was taken aback and quickly responded, “Mr. Hodges, it’s not like that…”
“Such a large shipment is a fortune in anyone’s hands. Your boss can’t figure out why I’d be so generous to hand it over…
right?” Hugo’s voice was low and chilling, echoing in the night.
The man fell silent, staring at Hugo.
Hugo’s dark eyes were fixed on him, like an unfathomable abyss, sending shivers down his spine.
He pressed his lips together, unsure of what to say.
At that moment, Hugo began to walk toward him, and the man’s heart tightened, his body tensing up.

When Hugo Hodges finally stood before him, there was no expected anger. Hugo simply looked at him, remaining silent
for a long time.
“Go back and tell your boss that what he’s missing is something I, Hugo Hodges, have never lacked in my life. Not just
this shipment, but even ten shipments like this wouldn’t catch my eye. If it weren’t for the special circumstances, I

wouldn’t even bother picking them up,” Hugo said slowly, emphasizing each word.
The man listened and nodded, “I understand your message. I’ll convey it accurately.”
With that, he gave a slight bow and prepared to leave.

However, after taking just a couple of steps, Hugo suddenly spoke again, “Also, let your boss know that while I helped him
out, what he owes me isn’t just a simple favor.”
The man paused, taken aback.
In this world, favors are the hardest debts to repay, and Hugo’s calculation was beyond what a single favor could settle.
“What do you think?” Hugo asked, watching him closely.
The man stood there, speechless.
Hugo continued to stare at him, as if certain of something.
Moments later, a voice suddenly echoed in the man’s ear, “Agree to it.”
The man nodded after hearing this and looked at Hugo. “Alright!”
Hugo smiled, his expression suggesting that everything was going exactly as he had planned.
“Go ahead, wait for my signal to act,” Hugo instructed.
The man nodded and left immediately.
As soon as he was gone, Henry stepped forward. “Boss, your way of flaunting wealth is just brilliant. It’s a good thing that
guy, Ray King, didn’t hear it himself, or he might have been furious.”
Hugo smirked. “How do you know he didn’t hear it?”
Henry paused, surprised. “You mean…?”
Hugo didn’t respond, his gaze fixed on the nearby dock.
Henry suddenly understood, murmuring to himself, “No wonder he agreed in the end. So that’s how it is…” He looked at Hugo. “That old fox really is something, not trusting and still wanting more… So why did you agree to him, boss?”
“Favors are worth much more than money,” Hugo replied.
Henry chuckled softly, muttering under his breath, “Only you would think that way…”

Hugo looked into the distance, then turned back when he heard the comment. “What did you say?”
Henry quickly shook his head, putting on a professional smile. “Nothing, just saying you’re wise and unstoppable.”
Hugo ignored him and asked, “How long until we arrive?”
Henry checked the time and replied, “There’s movement on the water. We’ll dock in about half an hour.”
Hugo nodded and instructed, “Go tell them to wait for my orders before acting. If anyone acts on their own and fails,
they’ll face the consequences.”
Henry nodded, “I’ll do that right away.”
With that, he turned and left.
Meanwhile, Hugo stood in a hidden spot, gazing into the distance. The wind blew against him, his black attire amplifying
his mysterious aura.
