“Dad, what’s happening?”
Charlotte looked puzzled too. “Are these people here to collect debts?”
Emery, hearing Charlotte’s question, lowered his head in shame.
“Charlotte, I’m sorry for you all.”
“Who are you people?” Pockmark stood aside, his eyes the size of green peas glancing over, and said lightly, “Huh? Is this Emery’s useless daughter?”
“She’s not bad looking. If he can’t pay the debt… you can give yourself to me.”
“Shut your filthy mouth.”
Quentin’s voice turned icy, giving him a glance that made Pockmark’s whole body break out in goosebumps.
Quentin set the two children down and then helped Emery up. “Dad, what’s going on? Stand up and explain slowly. I’ll help you sort this out.”
Upon hearing Quentin’s confident words, Pockmark and the others couldn’t help but sneer.
What can this guy do to solve this? Where does he get the confidence?
Emery looked up at Quentin with gratitude in his eyes.
However, when looking at them, there was still some hesitation and fear, unable to speak.
Pockmark sneered, “If he won’t speak, let me explain.”
“This old man gambled in our casino, lost, and now has no money to pay, so we are just collecting according to the rules.”
Emery remained silent, which was taken as consent.
“How much did he lose?” Quentin frowned.
“I don’t know exactly how much he lost,” Pockmark chuckled, “but he owes our casino over five million, plus interest for three days, another one to two million.”
“Wow!!” Charlotte gasped upon hearing Pockmark’s words.
And Emma was so angry she almost fainted…
“Six or seven million!” Emma was trembling all over. She had never seen so much money in her life, and now this spendthrift had lost it all?
“We can’t pay such a huge amount. If you want to kill him, go ahead!” Emma exclaimed. “Just drag him out and beat him to death!”
The fact that she could say such angry words showed her level of fury.
Pockmark sneered coldly, “Death? It’s not that easy for him to die. Do you think we’re a bunch of freeloaders? If he dies, does that mean he doesn’t owe money anymore?”
“I’ve investigated thoroughly. The Pittman family of six, we know each one’s worth very well.”
“Even if this old man Emery dies, we will still get this money from you!”
“As for you, lady, although you’re getting older, you still have value. Some old men like that sort of thing; you could fetch a good price.”
“And you! Emery’s daughter Charlotte, right?” Pockmark turned his gaze towards Charlotte. “Such a figure, such charisma…”
“Several million, placed in an upscale club, would earn back in a year or two.”
“And those two kids are also valuable! Hahaha-”
Upon hearing this, Emma and the others had very unpleasant expressions.
“This is a society governed by law!” Charlotte said coldly. “Gambling and high-interest loans are illegal. Leave now, or I’ll call the police!”
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, they laughed even more cynically.
“Call someone?”
“Rule of law?”
“Ridiculous!” Pockmark sneered contemptuously. “Do you think our boss would dare to do this without some skills? Try calling the police and see what happens.”
“We’ll go in, take a look around, and then come out.”
“But you guys will be in trouble; you might end up finding your bodies somewhere later!”
Several of them flashed folding knives, with a cold gleam in their eyes.
“Bro!” Emery’s knees went weak, and he knelt down pleading, “Please, don’t harm my family. Give me a little more time, lend me some money again, give me one more chance, and I will turn things around!”
“A chance?” Pockmark’s face darkened. “Dream on!”
“Get lost!!” He kicked towards Emery’s face, but felt like he had kicked iron, and his foot hurt!
Looking down, he saw Quentin’s foot blocking him.
“Damn!!” Pockmark was furious. “You’re asking for death? You dare block me!”
“In front of me, you have no right to act.” Quentin’s voice was cold, and his foot shot out like lightning, sending Pockmark flying backward!
