Chapter 290 
Before the others arrived, Samuel defended against their attacks by himself. 
Despite the large number of people, only a few could approach him. 
Furthermore, Samuel excelled at fighting and was currently on high alert. Hence, 
e, those people couldn’t take advantage of him. 
Soon, everyone in the bar came out. The other group didn’t expect so many people hiding there. Realizing they were outnumbered, they wanted to scatter and escape. 
Samuel realized their intentions and ordered in a rough voice, “Arrest them all.” 
The scene was chaotic for a moment. Those people followed Samuel here without knowing the situation at the bar, so they only brought enough people to arrest Samuel alone. 
were soon captured. 

At that moment, they found themselves outnumbered and were soon c 
Everyone lay pinned to the ground as Samuel stepped on one of them, gritting his teeth fiercely. I remember you beat me yesterday 
While speaking, Samuel narrowed his eyes and stepped harder. 
The man screamed in pain, and Samuel laughed. 
A few minutes later, he got worried about the police coming, so he didn’t want to stay too long. After dealing with them quickly, he told his subordinates, “These people are Shawn’s. Hand them over to Hunk.” 
“All right. His subordinates quickly dragged them away. 
Samuel smiled mockingly as he patted the non–existent dust off his hands and snorted. “It is impossible for me 
He displayed an arrogant attitude. 
When he turned around, his eyes suddenly met the figure who was supposed to have left by car. 
His expression froze, and the dangerous aura surrounding him vanished in an instant. 
He stuttered and asked. “Boss… W–Why are you still here!” 
Cynthia gave him a cold look, then clapped her hands and sarcastically said. “Mr. Wilson, you’re such a boss 
After saying that, she turned around without looking back 
me to be caught by these lackeys” 
She initially thought this place wasn’t in the city center and not safe. She was afraid he might encounter his former enemies and get hurt. 
Hence, she wanted to send him home, but unexpectedly, she saw his commanding presence. 
Many subordinates obeyed his order. She didn’t believe he was just a handyman here, 
“Boss, let me explain” Samuel was a little anxious and chased after her. 
His subordinates were shocked and couldn’t believe their eyes. They wondered. ‘Is this Samuel, the same aggressive and imposing man we know? Why did he bow and listen to a woman’s instructions? 
Samuel didn’t care about his dignity and felt hopeless. 
He thought, ‘Boss must have heard what I said. With her wisdom, she can probably discern the connection between Mr. Clara and me. Knowing that I lied to her, she’d be so disappointed in me! 
He only knew Cynthia because of the mission. In fact, he didn’t need to take it so seriously. 
When he witnessed her genuine care, her tireless efforts to guide him, her concern for his future, and her determination to help him thrive, he was profoundly touched and developed a deep respect for her. 
He blocked Cynthia’s way in panic, hiding his head low. “Boss, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to lie.” 
Cynthia stood still and appeared indifferent as she asked, “Since when have you worked for Anthony!” 
Samuel kept his head down and didn’t dare to speak.

Chapter 290. 

Judging by Samuel’s expression, Cynthia probably guessed that Anthony had mistaken her for someone else when she was boxing underground Hence, Samuel made an excuse to follow her. “No wonder you were so determined to follow me back then” 
Cynthia felt even more hurt. She had truly considered him as her friend, but he was simply wrapping up his mission. 
“Ross, l–let me explain, Samuel stuttered, feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to begin, sweating profusely in anxiety. Cynthia stared at 
at him o 
coldly 
“Boss, I initially got close to you because of Mr. Clara, but I really admire you and respect you as my boss. I lied to you and I know it was wrong. I had no other option. We were raised by the Clara family since we were young, and our unwavering loyalty to the head of the Clara family is a lifelong commitment. I simply couldn’t bring myself to betray Mr. Clara, I didn’t reveal the truth because I didn’t want to let you down. I’ve confessed everything now, Boss, I assure you–I won’t deceive you anymore.” Samuel swore. 
Cynthia frowned slightly. She had heard Hunk say the same thing before at the border. She figured that Samuel and Hunk shared the same identity. 
The Clara f 
family was indeed quite mysterious. They trained all their subordinates from a young age to serve the family head. 
She could understand Samuel’s challenges, but she couldn’t accept other people cheating and weren’t completely honest. 
Therefore, after finding out the truth, they couldn’t get along like before. 
Cynthia looked at Samuel and said seriously, “Samuel, 1 understand your difficulty.” 
Hearing this, Samuel was a little emotional 
However, what Cynthia said next made him feel sadl 
“But I won’t be your boss anymore. You will have someone whom you will serve throughout your life, so dedicate yourself to your mission and avoid multitasking. You didn’t intend for me to be your boss in the first place, so let’s just pretend that it never happened” After saying that, Cynthia walked past Samuel and planned to leave 
However, Samuel was really reluctant to let her leave, so he decided to follow her. “Boss” 
Don’t 
follow me,” Cynthia warned in a deep voice. 
Samuel could only stand still and watch Cynthia leave silently, feeling lonely. 
Despite his reluctance, he had no choice but to accept it 
Samuel took one last glance at Cynthia’s back and shouted, “Boss, take care! Whether you acknowledge it or not, you will always be my boss,” 
Cynthia didn’t look back and kept walking forward. She couldn’t express her emotions. It wasn’t sadness, but rather a heavy sensation in her chest. 
She had not been getting along with Samuel for a long time, and their relationship was not very close. However, she couldn’t figure out why she trusted him so much. 
Therefore, when she found out that their relationship started with cheating, she couldn’t shake off the discomfort. 
If she felt uneasy about it, she should just end their connection 
Cynthia walked all the way. There were multiple bars in this area, where people always caused a scene 
Despite knowing Cynthia’s ability, Samuel still dispatched two subordinates to protect her. 
Cynthia realized someone was following her, but they kept their distance and didn’t bother her, so she ignored them. 
It was getting dark, and different people started coming out and moving around 
The bars and dance halls here were not upscale, so most of the people who visited were gangsters..
