“Who is that Scar?” Robin asked, leaning against the wall.
Since he had decided to get Dillon’s bar back, he wanted to deal with Scar to avoid any further trouble.
“That man is with Lamonia Security Company.”
Jeff had checked all the major forces in Stillwater, so he also knew something about Scar. After a pause, he added, “Lamonia Security Company belongs to the Lamonia clan, which used to be the most influential gang in Stillwater. They’ve whitewashed themselves and established the security company.”
“What’s Scar’s role in Lamonia Security company?”
“He’s one of the leaders. The owner of Lamonia Security Company is named Dexter Newman. People usually just call him Yama. It’s said he can be cold-hearted and use all means to achieve his goals, a horrible being in Stillwater. He has two subordinates, one named Max Berry and the other known as Mr. Carlton. Max Berry takes care of his underworld business, and Mr. Carlton is in charge of Lamonia’s transactions.”
Jeff broke off before adding, “General Bailey, I found Dexter Newman wasn’t simple. He moved here three years ago. However, he fought against other gangsters and achieved his current status step by step. I guess he’s more competent than he looks.”
“Then he can be an interesting opponent for us,” Robin remarked thoughtfully.
“By the way, is Doug also one of Lamonia Security Company?” he asked.
“No, he’s not. He’s a guy from an affluent family, but his parents passed away when he was little, leaving him many properties and a commercial street. Initially, someone wanted to encroach on his family’s properties, but he either killed them or beat them up. Therefore, he gradually obtained his force.”
“According to my investigation, Doug wished to join Lamonia Security company but was rejected. The reason was he wasn’t qualified,” Jeff reported.
He had been investigating in the past weeks, so he obtained much information.
“All right.”
Robin flicked his hand.
Since Doug wasn’t working for Lamonia Security Company, Robin had an idea. To avoid more trouble from Scar again, Robin decided to find another group of gangsters to deal with them.
After all, if Robin made a move and killed Scar, he would attract Yama’s attention and alert the enemy.
Before returning to Houry’s Villa, Robin made some arrangements.
As soon as he entered the living room, Karen happened to return home after playing cards with her friends. She might have lost some money, so she looked annoyed. Once seeing Robin, she snapped, “Hurry up and do the housework. Mop the ground. Cook. I’m starved to death. Hurry up, Moron!”
Elise happened to return home from the company. Upon hearing her mother’s voice, she immediately tugged Robin’s sleeve and answered, “Mom, I’ll cook for you.”
She was afraid Robin might fight with her mother.
“You cook? You’ve just returned home from a whole day’s work. Why do you want to cook? Besides, you are the chairwoman of the board. Let Robin Bailey do it. He earns such a poor salary and cannot even afford a handbag for me. Let him cook. Remember. We don’t raise anyone useless in this house.”
The more Karen looked at Robin, the angrier she became.
She couldn’t bear a good-for-nothing to be in her house.
“Mom!” Elise called her unhappily. She put on an apron and said, “I want to cook. Can you stop it? Did you lose money when playing cards earlier? I’ll wire you 2, 000 dollars later.”
“You are awesome, Elise!”
A bright smile immediately blossomed across Karen’s face. However, when her gaze fell on Robin, her expression changed immediately. “I wonder why my outstanding daughter has met such a scumbag like you.”
“Mom!” Elise was annoyed.
“You… Urgh…”
Karen sighed and went upstairs. She wondered why her daughter defended a loser.
In her opinion, Robin would be kicked out of her family sooner or later. Then Elise could marry a wealthy man.
Elise entered the kitchen to cook, but Robin followed her and also put on an apron. “Let me cook, Elise. It must be a long day for you.”
“It is for you as well. Let’s cook together. You can help me.”
Therefore, they cooked in the kitchen.
Suddenly, Elise tilted her head and asked, “By the way, you went to find the engineer earlier, didn’t you? How did it go? Have you found him?”
“Yes, I have. He’s sick in a hospital now, so I’m afraid he won’t be onboard until several days later. Probably, he’ll need to use a walking stick,” Robin replied.
“A walking stick?”
It sounded pretty unreliable for Elise.
A doctor’s degree holder from the University of Aappitat should be someone excellent. After all, the University of Aappitat was the best architecture college in Kisia, and it was difficult for anyone to be accepted by their Ph. D. program. Anyone who graduated with an architecture major was an artist.
People with such backgrounds would be popular in the career market. Therefore, Elise didn’t think they could find one in Stillwater.
She didn’t have hope in Robin earlier. Hence, when Robin answered her, she thought he was trying to console her.
Elise felt disappointed as she couldn’t rely on Robin when she wanted to. She wished her husband to be a superhero.
However, she also knew it was only her imagination. Elise had already accepted her fate.
The following day, Robin went to the commercial street on the left of the University of Stillwater. He went into the casino. A man at the door had just lost some money, looking annoyed. Then he saw Robin.
Robin dressed up neatly with a crew cut. Unlike the gangsters, he didn’t have any tattoos or jewelry.
Therefore, the man thought he was a pushover.
Immediately, he strode to Robin and said threateningly, “Brat, I want to borrow some money from you. You’d better give me obediently. Or you can’t blame me for being rude.”
“Want to rob me? Why don’t you check who’s behind you?”
Robin curled his lips up into a smile.
“Behind me? What’s behind me? Don’t tell me someone wants to hit me.”
The man curled his lips in disdain. However, when he turned around, he was baffled. All the men in the casino had stood up. A man with a scorpion tattoo drifted to them.
Standing in front of Robin, he bowed at him and asked in a flattering tone, “Good day, Sir. What can I do for you this time?”
He and other gangsters still had lingering fears of Robin.
“I want to see Doug. I have a deal with him,” Robin answered.
“This way, please, Sir.”
Scorpion flicked his hand and let Robin go to the second floor.
After Robin was gone, the man who blocked his way collapsed in fear. He asked in a trembling voice, “Who… Who is he? Mr. Doug’s newly hired man? Why are you guys so frightened?”
“Mr. Doug’s newly hired man? None of us, including Doug, is afforded to offend him. How dare you!” a gangster told him.
“You’ve made big trouble. Kneel here. After he comes downstairs, he may feel your sincerity and let go of you. Or you’ll be so dead. Believe it or not?”
