Chapter 60 – Disdained Son-in-Law, Destined Riches

Don Albert approached them with a grim expression and then kicked zaz in the crotch. Immense pain shot up zaz’s body, forcing him to his knees on the ground, the color slowly draining from his face.

Don Albert stared at him and said coldly, “You’re just asking for it, aren’t you? How dare you piss Mr. Smith off?”

He then turned to Joe and bowed in absolute respect as he apologized. “Sorry I was late, Mr. Smith. Please punish me!”

Upon seeing Don Albert’s respectful attitude toward Joe, everyone’s jaw dropped. Jerome finally realized that he had pissed off such an influential figure, and his body started trembling.

Joe nodded before at zaz. “You know this man?”

Don Albert replied, “Yes. He is merely one of the smaller leaders in the area, but he dared to have pissed Mr. Smith off. Just give out the order on how you would like him punished, Mr. Smith! We will do everything as you say!”

Joe nodded. “What a tyrant. He claimed he would have me disabled as soon as he entered the room. Such a person is a danger to society. I say we should break his kneecaps so that he will need a wheelchair from now on.”

zaz’s soul immediately left his body. He was a man who was used to earning his living by fighting. If he were to become disabled, how could he continue to lead this area? Wouldn’t that mean that this was over for him? zaz kneeled to the ground and crawled to Joe on his knees. He cried, “Mr. Smith, this is all my fault! Please give me another chance! I will never dare to offend you ever again!”

Joe stared at him coldly. “I gave you a second chance. You were the one who didn’t accept the offer.”

zaz was then reminded of what Joe had told him earlier.

“Kneel down and I’ll consider forgiving your sorry ass…”

He had thought that that was just a mere bluff, but now, he realized that the one who had had a death wish wasn’t Joe… It was Zaz himself!

Fearing for his life, zaz groveled at Joe’s feet and cried, “Mr. Smith, please just give me another chance, please spare me!”

Joe ignored his pleas and turned to Don Albert. “Well, what are you waiting for? We don’t have all day, do we?”

Don Albert stiffened and immediately ordered his men, “You guys! Break his kneecaps this instant!”

Without warning, a few of his men rushed toward Zaz and pinned him down to the ground.

Right then and there, Bill took a metal rod out and approached zaz. Although the latter tried to beg for his life, Bill did not hesitate to raise the metal rod above his head and swing it down at a great speed.

Crack!

zaz’s right kneecap was smashed into pieces instantly. Such a comminuted fracture was almost impossible to recover from! zaz yelped in pain, but Joe did not stop there. “We’re not quite done yet. We have only broken one leg, he would still be able to limp with the other. I want him crippled forever!”

Bill nodded and raised the metal rod once more, and in no time, another loud crack came from zaz’s left knee. zaz rolled on the floor, screaming for help, his body about to go into shock.

Don Albert barked out an order. “Bill, shove something into his mouth. His loud whining is going to annoy Mr. Smith!”

“Yes, Don Albert!” Bill complied and shoved a few pieces of gauze pads into zaz’s mouth as the latter was already curled up into a ball on the ground.

Jerome’s face was pale-white as he kneeled to the ground and groveled. “Joe… no, I mean, Mr. Smith. I was wrong! I shouldn’t have let my stupid mouth run, please forgive me!”

Lily was scared to death as well. As soon as Jerome started begging for his life, she immediately got on her knees and apologized profusely as well.

However, Joe merely scoffed. “Do you really think that begging is going to do you any good? You guys are just so cute!”

The two of them were frightened to the core. Suddenly, a few men dressed in black entered the room as well, bringing along with them two middle-aged men who had been tied up.

The two middle-aged men looked as though they were just one step away from hell.

As the men-in-black flung them onto the floor, they bowed to Joe and said, “Mr. Smith, we’ve brought who you’ve asked for!”

Jerome and Lily almost fainted at the sight of this. The two middle-aged men were none other than their fathers, Dylan Hunt and Lawson Lewis.

Joe took a bucket of cold water and dumped it over their heads. Once they had recovered their consciousness, Joe then questioned Lawson. “Mr. Lewis, were you aware that your daughter was being a whore and that she was cheating on her fiance?“

Lawson was terrified. Having been beaten up just a while ago, he knew that his daughter had gotten into trouble. To protect himself, he shook his head. “I didn’t know, I didn’t know……”

Joe nodded. “You didn’t know? Then, isn’t that your fault as a father? Bill, break his left kneecap! Just like what you did to that other son of a bitch!”

“Understood!” Bill immediately turned to his men. “Hold him down!”

Lawson cried out of fear, “No! Someone please help me!”

Lily screamed for him as well. “Dad!”

However, without faltering, Bill smashed Lawson’s kneecap as soon as he had been held down.

“Ah…” Lawson would have rather died a swift death. Instead, his kneecap had been shattered, it was impossible for him to heal from this.

Joe then repeated his question. “Let me ask you again, were you aware that your daughter was being a whore and that she was cheating on her fiance?”

Lawson sobbed uncontrollably. “I was aware, I was. It’s my fault, I’ll be sure to discipline her from now on…”

Joe huffed. “So you did know. In that case, why didn’t you stop her? You knew that your daughter had caused trouble and yet, you didn’t do anything. Doesn’t that show how big of a failure you are as a father?”

He then ordered Bill, “Bill, cripple his other leg!”

Lawson had not expected that admitting to his faults would not do him any good either. He had just fainted out of shock, however, the pain from the impact woke him up in a mere second.

“Ah!!!” Lawson had never experienced such torture in his entire life.

Tears streamed down the wrinkles on his face as he cried out desperately, “Mr. Smith, it’s all my fault! I’ll never overlook her faults ever again, I won’t let her do such vile actions.”

Disgusted, Joe said, “Well, aren’t you good at blaming others for your faults?”

Just this sentence was enough to send chills down Lawson Lewis’s spine.

Joe then demanded, “Lawson Lewis! Regarding the ten thousand dollars that my brother invested in your restaurant, why did you refuse to pay him back? Why did you claim that it was a gift?”

Lawson’s face drained of color, and he tried to explain. “I was wrong, I was wrong for doing that! I was greedy, and I was shameless, I’m so sorry!”

He then looked over to Douglas, who was enraged. Lawson begged, “Douglas, I was blinded by greed. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you back the ten thousand dollars, please tell Mr. Smith to let me go! My old bones can’t handle this anymore…”

Joe stared at Douglas. “Are you going to help him?”

Douglas immediately shook his head. “No! I will not help anyone here!”

“Alright!” Satisfied, Joe nodded. “That’s my man!”

Joe then turned to Lawson who was drowning in despair. “Not only are you a terrible father, you even tried to take my brother’s life savings. What’s the difference between you and a lowly thief?”

Lawson cried and stumbled over his words. “Mr. Smith, I’m a bastard! I’m inhumane! I should go to hell! Please let me go, please! I’m begging you! I’ll do anything! I’ll call you Boss! Boss Smith, please let me go!”

Joe let out a cold laugh. “Let you go? Hah! In your dreams, you ugly bastard!”

After that, he turned to Bill. “Cripple his right arm! See if he can steal from others after this!”

Desperate, Lawson cried out, “No, Mr. Smith! Please, no…”

Bill smashed Lawson’s arm in one swing.

“Ah, my arm… my arm!!!” Lawson yelped.

Joe turned to Bill. “Shut him up and throw him aside!”

“Yes, sir!” Bill shoved a ball of gauze into his mouth and threw him toward Zaz.

Lily was on the verge of insanity, as was Jerome.

His father, Dylan Hunt, was going insane as well! He turned to Jerome and slapped him angrily. “You piece of shit! Who told you to fuck around with someone else’s woman! Why did you pull me into this!”

Joe smirked. “Why? Didn’t you know that your son was fucking my brother’s fiance? Aren’t you his father?”

Fearing for his life, Dylan was tearing up, completely clueless as to how to answer that question. Lawson was already an excellent example of what his fate would be.

If he said that he knew, his right leg would be shattered; if he said that he didn’t, his left leg would be crippled…
