Clinton was a little flustered by the response that he said, sounding panicked, “Can’t you do me a favor and talk to him for a bit?”
The guy chuckled. “I’m sorry but my hands are tied.”
Clinton was agitated and growled, “Mr. Kent, I remember that you still hope for that police car donation to your branch from Emgrand Group, am I correct? Don’t you want it anymore?”
The man huffed in disgust, refusing to be pretentiously polite anymore, and sneered coldly. “Clinton Tucker, don’t you know that your father has been fired from Emgrand Group?”
“Fired?! When?!”
“Half an hour ago!”
He added before ending the call, “Think it through before calling anyone again.”
Scarface’s lips twitched in amusement when he saw Clinton’s dumbstruck face and smirked, “Why? You can’t find anyone?”
Clinton was about to say something when Scarface swung his arm and slapped his face hard! It was such an abrupt slap that he couldn’t withstand its force and he fell back, knocking down the tables and chairs!
Everyone gaped in shock and their faces were as pale as snow! However, no one dared to stop the scary Scarface.
“How dare you slap me?”
Clinton covered his face which was painted with a layer of hatred and resentment.
“So what?”
Scarface giggled wickedly and kicked Clinton’s stomach, making him fall to the floor. Then, he jumped on him and beat him violently!
Clinton howled in pain when he was beaten but no one came forward to help him.
Soon, Clinton’s face was as swollen as a pig and was drenched with blood. The scene was absurdly horrifying.
Frightened, Clinton wailed and pleaded, “Boss, boss! Please, I’m sorry, please stop!”
“Sorry?” Scarface snorted coldly, “How worthy is your apology anyway? After how you treat me, how do you expect me to survive in the underworld if I don’t beat you to death!”
Then, he urged his gang and shouted, “Damn it, go, kick his ass!”
The group of youngsters surged forward, punching and kicking Clinton!
Some even smashed him with a baseball bat. It was so tragic and horrible that everyone covered their eyes in horror.
As Clinton was being beaten, Scarface walked up to Douglas and threatened, “Since your friend is so cocky towards me, I’m increasing the original 20% to 40%! If you don’t agree with my terms, you’ll face the same fate as your friend does!”
Douglas was panicked, but if he gave them the 40% share, it would be like working for them!
So, he mustered the residue courage that he had and said, “If you want 40%, you’d better just kill me now!”
Scarface frowned and blurted, “Alright! Suit yourself!”
Then, he produced a bright, sharp knife from his pocket.
Everyone was horrified by the scene and the ladies even screamed in panic.
Seeing that Scarface was slowly moving towards Douglas, Joe blurted, “Put the knife down!”
Scarface turned his head and cursed, exasperated, “Who the fuck wants to die this time?”
As Scarface turned his head and stumbled upon Joe, he was puzzled at first, and then suddenly, his expression had a drastic change! He was extremely shocked and quickly knelt on the floor!
Before anyone could regain their composure, Scarface threw away the knife, started slapping himself, and cried, “Mr. Smith, I’m so sorry! I didn’t know you were here, I’m terribly sorry!”
Joe was taken aback by the sudden shift in reaction. “Do you know me?”
Scarface nodded profusely and said, “Yes, Mr. Smith, Bill is my boss, I saw you the other day at Heaven Springs…”
Joe was suddenly enlightened.
Interesting.
It was Bill, Don Albert’s man, who had tormented Gerald and Harold at the Heaven Springs the other day. This man was Bill’s guy.
No wonder he was so afraid of him.
Even Don Albert’s legs went jelly when he saw Joe, let alone the guy of his guy…
Everyone was shocked by the scene! Lily had her mouth agape as well!
They couldn’t understand why a fierce gangster, who just beat up Clinton, would kneel down in front of Joe? Moreover, he seemed like he was very scared of him!
Claire was equally dumbfounded. She tugged Joe’s arm and asked, “What’s going on? Do you know him?”
Joe quickly shook his head, worrying that she might misunderstand the scenario. “No! I don’t know him!”
Scarface immediately interjected, “No, he doesn’t know me! I don’t know him, he doesn’t know me! It’s just that Mr. Smith’s reputation precedes him and I’m honored to meet him…”
The flattery was a perfect ten!
He was honored to meet him? Who? Joe?
No one could accept this reality, it was too magical and strange!
Scarface frantically turned to Douglas and muttered, “As you are Mr. Smith’s friend, you’ll have my full protection from now on and I won’t charge you any fee! If anything happens, I’ll have your back!”
Astounding awe echoed the restaurant like a shock wave upon Scarface’s remark!
Lily was so excited she almost cried. The stark contrast between Clinton and Joe was so thrilling and amusing!
Because of Joe, not only could she keep the 40% share but they were even receiving full protection for free since Scarface wanted to curry favor with Joe!
They could finally operate their business with peace of mind!
Joe was their savior!
Douglas was very grateful too. He held Joe’s hands and said sincerely, “Joe, thank you so so much.”
Joe smiled gently. “You’re welcome, I’m just lending a hand.”
