“Oh my god! Don’t drag us down with you, man!” Scarlet was at her wit’s end. Flynn was a complete lunatic!
Marcel was a big shot who straddled both sides of the law.
He owned over a dozen five-star hotels like the Peninsula Hotel in Niarak.
He had stakes in most bars, KTVs and nightclubs in Niarak, as well as other illegal businesses.
A big shot like him could easily crush the Kaur family with just one word. And Flynn had already offended Caleb from Dragon Gate before this.
He might not be afraid, but the Kaur family would definitely suffer if he crossed Marcel’s path!
Sure enough, when Marcel heard this, he clenched his right hand tightly and crushed a walnut into powder. He looked at Flynn and said slowly, “During these five years, I’ve gradually left behind my criminal activities and focused on legitimate endeavors. Consequently, I haven’t taken a life in five years. It seems like today, I’m going to break that streak!”
The woman in cheongsam shuddered slightly.
She had never seen Marcel so angry before.
But it made sense though.
Flynn had repeatedly offended Marcel in front of so many people – there was no way this big boss of Niarak could tolerate it any longer.
“Black Wolf, kill him for me!” Marcel roared furiously.
The big guy with tiger stripes took a step forward, his cold and deadly intent rolling off of him. His fist whistled through the air towards Flynn.
If that punch landed, it would break several of even a buffalo’s ribs.
But Flynn was quick on his feet. He kicked out with lightning speed, sending Black Wolf flying through the air to crash heavily onto the ground.
“Black Wolf? Black Wolf!” Marcel’s face twisted in surprise and anger. This was one of his top fighters, a former captain in Dragon Cavalry who could take on ten men at once without breaking a sweat. And he went down with just one punch?
“Good! Very good!” Marcel seethed with rage as he felt his decades-long reputation being challenged. He wanted revenge at any cost.
But before he could say anything, Flynn placed a hand on Marcel’s shoulder and pointed at Scarlet.
“Let her go,” he said calmly. “I’ll play with you slowly.”
“Let her go?” Marcel smirked and said, “After causing such a big mess here, you want to leave?”
“You’re not thinking of letting her go and finding another way to escape, are you?”
“Forget it! If I make one phone call, the roads leading out of Niarak will be blocked.”
“Not only are you going to die today, but anyone associated with you is also finished!”
“Fine!” Flynn’s mind was filled with murderous intent.
Just as he was about to kill Marcel on the spot, the phone rang.
Brandon?
Flynn thought for a moment before answering the call.
After all, killing Marcel would only take a moment. There was no need to rush.
“Is this Mr. Clark? This is Brandon. Where do you live? I’ll come pick you up,” came a respectful voice over the phone.
“I’m not at home,” Flynn said flatly.
“Oh… do you have something else going on right now?” Brandon asked hesitantly, afraid of annoying Flynn by asking too much.
“I’m in the new district, nothing major, just a small trouble,” Flynn glanced at Marcel and said casually.
Marcel remained calm and interested as he watched Flynn make the phone call without any attempt to stop him.
“Trouble? Can you tell me more?” Brandon asked eagerly.
“To be honest, my family has some influence in Niarak.”
“Not a big deal, just had a conflict with someone named Marcel at Peninsula Hotel,” Flynn added when he noticed how respectful Brandon was being towards him.
“Marcel!” Brandon exclaimed in surprise. “At Peninsula Hotel? Mr. Clark, please wait for a moment. I’ll be there in ten minutes!”
“Oh yes! Tell Marcel to wait for me too and ask for your mercy on my behalf. I’ll be there soon!”
Flynn hung up the phone with an odd expression on his face.
According to what Brandon said, did he know this Marcel?
Marcel saw that Flynn was frowning and feeling proud of himself asked, “Do you want to call someone else? After hearing my name, they refused?”
“You can keep calling if you want. I’ll wait here until then. Bring all your connections together so that we can see which guy dares stand up for you!”
Flynn replied calmly, “He told me to wait ten minutes before arriving.”
“Me waiting?” Marcel pointed at himself incredulously and sneered, “This is getting more interesting by the minute.”
“Ten minutes, huh?”
“Okay! I want to see who else in Niarak has the guts to challenge besides you!” Marcel finished speaking and lit a cigarette, squinting at Flynn as he smoked.
“Just an ant. Do I need someone else to help me?” Flynn’s expression was indifferent.
The qipao woman shook her head and lamented to Flynn, “You are too ignorant. You don’t even know who is behind Mr. Hill.”
“Well, since you’ve stirred up such a big mess, I will tell you”
“Mr. Hill is Elis Pearce’ godson!”
“Elis?” Flynn raised an eyebrow slightly.
He remembered it now.
When they were eating at Lakeview Pavilion in the Pearce family’s Mansion, the butler mentioned Elis’ godson coming over and seemed to have mentioned the name “Marcel”.
Earlier when Marcel entered the hotel, Scarlet also mentioned rumors that Marcel was Elis’ godson but he didn’t pay attention.
After all, there was no need to delve into uncertain matters.
Now thinking about it roughly made him understand what was going on.
Marcel worked in illegitimate industries and couldn’t publicly claim any connection with the Pearce family.
The woman in the qipao raised her voice, sounding pleased as she spoke, “That’s right! Mr. Hill’s biological father and Mr. Pearce were sworn brothers. During the War of Resistance, they fought together in battles across the country.”
“Mr. Hill’s father was shot and killed when he was only three years old. It was Mr. Pearce who raised him. Now do you understand who you’ve offended?” The woman lightly pinched Marcel’s shoulder and spoke coldly.
“The old man keeps a low profile, as does the Pearce family. You might not know their status in Niarak.”
“If you’re interested, you can come to his birthday celebration and see what it means to be surrounded by power players from all over.”
“On that day, several streets around the Pearce family’s Mansion will be closed off, with city officials, military generals and state leaders coming to congratulate him.”
“There will be a grand feast with hundreds of tables set up. Even the top ten wealthiest families in Niarak can only sit at second place!”
“The Pearce family is truly Niarak’s strongest elite!”
Marcel laughed after hearing this before giving a firm pat on the woman’s curvy hips which made her blush.
Flynn nodded slightly before saying calmly, “I was going to see you off but since you’re Mr. Pearce’s godson, then let’s give him some face since people from the Pearce family regard me as an honored guest.”
“What did you say?!” Marcel suddenly sat upright.
Scarlet quickly interjected, “Mr. Hill, Flynn is really a guest of the Pearce family.”
“He even got invited for dinner at Lakeview Pavilion!”
“Today, it seems like there was a misunderstanding, and you’re all actually on the same side.”
“Invite him to have dinner at Lakeview Pavilion?” Marcel hesitated for a moment and then laughed heartily.
“You two are really good at acting! Knowing that I am a member of the Pearce family, you even tried to establish a relationship with us just to escape!”
Lakeview Pavilion was where the most distinguished guests of the Pearce family were entertained. Even he didn’t have the qualifications to go there!
This kid was only in his twenties. What made him so special? F
lynn shook his head indifferently and said, “Mr. Pearce’s humility has unfortunately raised such an idiot like you.”
Marcel narrowed his eyes and said, “I’ve seen many clowns like you in my life as I’ve been around for half a century.”
“Keep cheering on,” he continued coldly. “Let’s see how long you can keep jumping!”
As soon as he finished speaking, an Audi A6 with military plates stopped in front of the building. Marcel turned around and saw a familiar figure getting out of the car with confident strides towards the hall.
