“You all have quite the nerve.”
Will Scott said angrily.
His killing intent was about to burst out.
“Get them, I want to kill them today.”
Will Scott ordered.
Kill them!
Not one would be spared.
Including Ann Roach, including Betty Weber, and including the shop owner.
The shop owner really collapsed at this moment, his face pale, “I knew it, I knew it, who did I provoke, to meet this calamity today.”
He didn’t do anything, he was just running a stall.
However, just as he was resigning to his fate, he noticed that nobody was moving. He trembled and, leaning against the wall, slowly stood up and looked at the scene outside.
He noticed that the bodyguards had not moved.
Not only did he notice, Will Scott noticed too.
“What do you mean, what are you doing?”
Will Scott turned his head and scolded.
“It’s not that we’re not moving, it’s just that behind us…”
One of the bodyguards pointed behind.
It was then that Will Scott realized, behind them was a line of cars, even more than before. Then, one after another, bodyguards stepped out, followed by a voice.
“It was me who asked them not to move.”
A faint voice came from behind. Everyone turned to see a middle-aged fat man in a grey suit. His shirt struggled to contain his belly, yet he held a cane with an imposing air.
“Who is this?”
Ann Roach, who was initially eating barbecue, looked at the man with her mouth agape, full of surprise.
She recognized the man.
Joe Moore, the president of the South Commercial Chamber, the largest business association in Mountland.
Why was he here?
“President, why are you here?”
Will Scott looked at the middle-aged fat man, momentarily stunned, but then quickly realized. “President, are you here to help me? You know what’s happening here, it’s this guy who injured my son.”
He was also a member of the South Commercial Chamber and had a good relationship with the president.
He thought that the president had come to help him because he knew about his situation.
But the next second, with a smack, Joe Moore slapped Will Scott in the face. Will Scott was stunned, covering his face, looking at the huge red handprint on his face.
“Why?”
He didn’t understand.
The next second, another slap came, hitting Will Scott’s face.
“Why? Because your son is ungrateful and behaves recklessly. And you, as a father, not only fail to restrain him, you even encourage him to create trouble in Mountland.”
Joe Moore’s words left Will Scott confused.
This was something everyone knew.
You never slapped me before over this.
Until Joe Moore continued, “And also, you dared to trouble my good friend. Do you know who he is? He’s like a beloved friend and brother to me.”
He gestured at Robin.
At this point, everyone understood that Robin and Joe Moore were connected. Joe Moore was backing Robin.
Will Scott also understood. This time, he had kicked an iron plate.
“You ungrateful thing.”
Joe Moore cursed at Will Scott, then walked over to Robin and slowly said, “Brother Owl, it’s my fault this time. For my sake, let’s let this go.”
Ann Roach breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close. She thought they were doomed. The reason she didn’t leave earlier was not just because of the barbecue, but because she felt guilty for implicating Robin. She wanted to stay and see if there was a chance to plead for Robin.
But now it seems, there’s no need to plead.
Joe Moore, the president of the South Commercial Chamber, was a big shot in Mountland. He actually declared that Robin was his brother and that he was going to protect Robin. That’s a big leg to hold onto.
Now, she finally understood why Robin was so composed all along. He had such a background.
Until Robin looked up and said, “Face? What are you that I need to give you face? And don’t call me brother, you’re not qualified. Call me Master Nightowl.”
His words stirred up a thousand waves.
Everyone was shocked. Truly shocked.
In front of Ethan Scott, Robin was calm and didn’t put Ethan Scott in his eyes. Later, everyone thought his trump card was Joe Moore, but now it seems, he doesn’t put Joe Moore in his eyes either.
The whole place fell silent.
Gloom hung over.
The barbecue shop owner, who had been relieved to escape death, wanted to faint. What does this mean? He thought he could escape, but now this guy was saying Joe Moore was nothing.
That’s a big shot in all of Mountland.
Not someone any ordinary person can compare to.
Crazy!
Everyone was calling Robin a madman.
Joe Moore’s face darkened, but then turned into a smile, however, it was as if he was hiding a knife under the smile. He said, “Although I know you are very capable, my South Commercial Chamber doesn’t just eat and do nothing. There are some things you shouldn’t go too far with, otherwise, even you might not know when you’ll die.”
This was a threat. An obvious threat.
Asking him, the president of the South Commercial Chamber, to address him as a superior?
What a joke.
However, Robin responded indifferently, “Is that so? But I don’t know when I’ll die. However, I can let you know when you’re going to die.” After he spoke, Robin lifted his head and picked up a chopstick.
“President, be careful.”
Joe Moore dared to come, but he didn’t come to die. He brought along his professional bodyguards, all high-level practitioners, bought at a high price. They noticed Robin’s movement and immediately shielded Joe Moore.
But whoosh. A chopstick flew out.
“You dare to attack the president, you’re overestimating yourself.”
One of the bodyguards reached out to catch the chopstick. But when he tried to catch it, his face changed dramatically, and he used all his strength. However, the chopstick passed directly through his palm and flew out towards Joe Moore.
“What?!”
The bodyguard behind was also stunned. The one in front couldn’t stop it. Everyone looked at each other and decided to stop it together. If one person couldn’t stop it, then could three?
Then. This chopstick proved to them that even three people couldn’t stop it.
The chopstick passed directly through all three of them. They used all their strength, but they couldn’t stop it. After it passed through, Joe Moore was so scared that his face turned white, and he hurriedly ran backward.
Finally, he fell to the ground.
And that chopstick was stuck right between his legs, scaring him so much his face was pale and he broke out in a cold sweat.
