“Kid, don’t rejoice too soon,” Enzo Ledger roared, filled with deep resentment. “When my boss arrives, he will absolutely not let you off the hook.”
“We shall see,” Robin replied calmly with his hands behind his back.
“Arrogant,” Enzo Ledger couldn’t contain his anger when he saw Robin’s demeanor. What did it mean? How could he be so arrogant and look down on him? His hatred towards Robin grew even deeper.
At that moment, boom, boom, boom, the sound of vehicles approaching could be heard from the outskirts. Van after van arrived, over thirty in total. Then, clanging sounds followed as the doors opened, and one person after another descended from the vans. They were all burly men, wielding sticks and machetes.
They looked intimidating.
However, in the midst of them, there was a Bentley. After the people from the vans got off, they gathered around the Bentley, forming a pathway. It was evident that the important figure was inside the Bentley.
“My boss has arrived,” Enzo Ledger exclaimed with joy, looking at Robin maliciously. “Kid, let’s see how you handle this.”
And at that moment, the door of the Bentley opened, and a man wearing sunglasses with tattoos came down from it, supported by his subordinates. He exuded an imposing aura as he stepped forward.
Enzo Ledger immediately stepped forward and pointed at Robin, saying, “Boss, it’s this guy! He’s the one who robbed our business, beat up our people, and caused severe injuries. Look at Enzo’s hand, it’s in such a state.”
Enzo Ledger was a big brother among the thugs, but in front of these people, he could only refer to himself as Enzo.
He kept saying, “Boss, I told you to call him, and he even said you’re nothing. This guy is audacious!”
“Hmm, audacious,” the boss’s voice turned heavy.
Just as Enzo Ledger was about to say something more, suddenly, there was a loud slap, landing directly on Enzo Ledger’s face, leaving a big red handprint and leaving him dumbfounded.
“Boss… Why?” Enzo Ledger’s face turned red from the slap, looking stunned as he couldn’t help but ask.
“Why? Because you’re audacious and offended someone you shouldn’t have. In front of him, what am I? I’m not even worth a fart. What do you think I am?” The boss shouted at Enzo Ledger. After yelling, he immediately approached Robin, took off his sunglasses, and bowed respectfully with a hint of panic. “Boss, it’s my fault this time. My subordinates were ignorant. Please, tell me how to handle this.”
“Lazlo,” Robin recognized him. He was the person Lili had called to the hotel last time. Later, he got beaten up by Mimi Beckett.
What a coincidence.
Meeting him here.
“Yes, it’s me,” Lazlo’s face was covered in cold sweat, his legs trembling. He never expected that his subordinates would be bullied, and he called for help. He came with hundreds of people, ready to make a big scene and vent their anger from the humiliation at the hotel yesterday.
But!
He didn’t expect the person here would be that person, Patrick Bailey, the one Mimi Beckett mentioned! They forced them to recognize a boss. And what kind of person was Mimi Beckett? She was the daughter of the Beckett family, a prominent family in North Coast with countless influences. If they messed with them, it would be as easy as killing a bunch of locusts.
Mimi Beckett made it clear that Patrick Bailey would be their boss from now on, and if there was even a slight injury, they would be finished.
Finished!
That would truly be the end.
Maybe Mimi Beckett couldn’t do it, but standing behind her was the head of the Beckett family, Henry Beckett. He would definitely leave them floating in the river.
“What… What?” Enzo Ledger, who had been slapped several times and scolded by Lazlo, was still shocked and hadn’t reacted yet. How could this be? How did it turn out like this? This guy was just the poor son-in-law of the stall owner, right?
It was obvious from his appearance.
He didn’t even have any branded goods.
But now, Lazlo, his boss, had power and influence in this area, yet he was bowing and trembling in front of Robin. This clearly showed fear.
Lazlo was afraid, which meant that the man’s identity was terrifying, truly terrifying.
In fact, they had underestimated Robin.
“Boss, I was wrong, I was really wrong.” Enzo Ledger suddenly ran over, knelt in front of Robin, and cried, “Boss, I have an elderly mother and young children to support, as well as adisabled wife. This was a misunderstanding…”
Robin smirked.
He seemed to have heard these words somewhere before.
One of Master Lewis’s subordinates.
One of the Mountland intelligence personnel.
However, that person was an orphan, had no wife, and definitely no children.
It was all nonsense.
This person was probably the same.
“You can handle it yourself,” Robin waved his hand, no longer interested in dealing with these people. He had already dealt quite a blow.
“Thank you, boss, thank you, boss,” Lazlo expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Then, he left with his men. However, what awaited them was not consolation from Lazlo and the others, but a severe beating. They dared to provoke anyone, but they couldn’t afford to provoke this one.
After they left.
The Hall family approached. Mrs. Hall hesitated and asked, “Um… he called you boss. What’s going on?”
She was somewhat afraid.
The man she had set her sights on was involved in that world.
“Before I retired, I held the rank of colonel, and I have many friends. He knows about my identity and realizes he can’t afford to offend me, so he calls me boss. That’s more or less the situation,” Robin explained after giving it some thought. He didn’t want these people to get involved in Mimi Beckett’s affairs. It was better to have fewer complications.
“Oh, I see,” Mr. Hall and Mrs. Hall breathed a sigh of relief once they understood the reason.
“Well, I’ve greeted them, and they won’t come again. I should be leaving now,” Robin glanced around, realizing that things were almost settled and he had finished eating.
“Oh, leaving?” Mrs. Hall was taken aback. Wasn’t he going to stay?
He was a gentleman.
Responsible.
A good son-in-law like him, why would he leave so easily? Instantly, Mrs. Hall gently pushed Kimi Hall, who didn’t notice, causing her to stumble and fall into Robin’s embrace.
That sharp figure.
That intense masculine aura instantly flooded Kimi Hall’s mind, and as an inexperienced young girl, how could she resist it? In an instant, her body softened against Robin’s.
“Hmm?” Robin didn’t want her to fall, so he supported her.
“It’s done, it’s done,” Mr. Hall and Mrs. Hall rejoiced. Tonight, there was no need to wait for their daughter anymore.
