Chapter 37: Are You Threatening Me
“Toby, I’m really not lying to you. Mr. Chance...”
Before Mark could finish speaking, the man pushed him away.
“If he doesn’t kneel today, no one can save him. I’ll not spare him at all!”
With that, he glanced at his subordinate and signaled for them to attack.
Noticing that, Mark quickly shot a look at the sales associate, telling her to bring Zayne and the rest away. It was better to have fewer witnesses. If word got out or if someone took a video, Dragon Bay’s reputation would be ruined.
When the sales associate saw that, she quickly called Zayne over and left. However, he was reluctant because he wanted to see David being beaten up.
“It’s a pity that they won’t let me watch such an entertaining scene,” lamented Zayne disappointedly.
“Yeah! David has been acting all arrogant recently. Now, he’s met a tough opponent. How unlucky of him!” mocked Lydia.
Only Maria frowned worriedly. If he gets killed, it’ll be troublesome.
“Maria, you aren’t worried about David, right? Don’t you hate him?” asked Lydia when she noticed Maria’s reaction.
“I do hate him, but I can’t just watch him die...”
There was a troubled expression on Maria’s face. “Why don’t we call the police?”
“Call the police? Didn’t you see how fierce that man was? If he finds out that we called the police, he might kill our families!” Zayne threatened Maria.
As expected, Maria was so scared that she did not dare to mention calling the police anymore.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Dragon Bay, David had already defeated all of Toby’s subordinates. Since they were just a bunch of gangsters, he only spent a little more than ten seconds.
When Toby saw how skilled David was, a fearful expression crossed his face. The woman became even more anxious.
“Do you still want me to kneel and apologize to you?” David stared at Toby and asked with a cold smirk.
The corners of Toby’s eyes twitched. In the end, he gritted his teeth and taunted, “You fight very well, huh? Let me tell you this. I’ve already noted down your car plate. I can find out your name and address. Even if you can fight, I don’t believe that your family can fight too.”
Toby threatened David by using the latter’s family as leverage. What he did not know was that he had already touched David’s raw nerve.
“Are you threatening me?” A murderous glint appeared in David’s eyes while his hostile aura enveloped Toby.
Shuddering uncontrollably, Toby felt a chill run down his spine.
“Don’t look at me like that, brat. Do you dare to kill me right in front of everyone?”
Gritting his teeth, Toby spat viciously, “If you don’t kill me today, I’ll find a chance to kill your family...”
Toby put up a stubborn front in front of David, not caring how shamelessly he was acting.
“You’re looking for your own doom...”
The murderous aura around David intensified. When Mark noticed that, he quickly stood in front of David. “Forget it, Mr. Chance. There’s no need to fight. This is just a trivial matter!”
Mark did not want anyone to die in his district. Furthermore, he could not afford to offend any of them, nor did he want anything bad to happen.
Staying silent, David whipped out his phone and called Tommy.
“Come to the entrance of Dragon Bay in ten minutes.”
With that, David hung up.
Seeing how David called for backup, Toby smirked. “I didn’t expect that you could call for backup. I’m waiting to see what kind of help you’ve gotten.”
Toby made a call as he said that, evidently calling for backup too.
Soon, a few vans rushed over, and out came more people, all armed with clubs.
When Toby saw that his men had come, he asked gloatingly, “Where’re your men? Are they too scared to come?”
“They’re here...” replied David calmly.
A car was speeding toward them from a distance away at a rapid speed.
When Toby saw that small car, he guffawed. “Are you kidding me? Did you only summon a car over? How many people can it carry? Even if you can fight, I can keep calling for backup. You’d die from exhaustion...”
“I hope that you can continue smiling after you see the person,” replied David with a cold smirk.
Soon, the car reached them. A burly man opened the door and got out of the car.
When Toby got a clearer glimpse of the person, his smile froze on his face.
Everyone else gasped sharply.
The person was none other than Tommy! There was no one else with him.
After walking toward David briskly, he greeted respectfully, “Mr. Chance.”
When Toby saw how respectful Tommy was to David, he was dumbfounded. His body started to tremble uncontrollably.
“Get rid of him,” instructed David as he glanced at Toby.
Tommy nodded before spinning around and facing Toby, who was shuddering in fear.
Tommy swept his gaze across the other men. With their faces turning pale from fear, Toby’s subordinates quickly tossed their weapons away.
“Get lost! Do you want to stay here and die?” bellowed Tommy.
Toby’s men were so scared that they scurried away.
It would be ridiculous if measly gangsters like them dared to offend the king of Horington’s underground.
“M-Mr. Lewis...” greeted Toby as he shivered.
Tommy stepped forward and landed a harsh slap on his face.
Toby did not even dare to move. However, his wife could not hold herself back and immediately shrieked at Tommy, “Who are you? What rights do you have to hit him?”
When she shouted at Tommy, Toby was so shocked that he almost fainted.
Slap!
Toby slapped his wife. “You b*tch! Who told you to speak? Are you in any position to say something?”
Secretly, he cursed at his wife. If she had not offended David and called him over, Tommy would not have been alerted about this.
Furthermore, looking at how respectful he was to David, it was obvious that David had a special status.
However, he could not figure out why someone as important as him was driving a run-down Ford.
After Toby slapped her, her face swelled up terribly.
However, he knew that if he was not harsh enough, both of them might die.
“Mr. Lewis, she doesn’t think before speaking. Please don’t be angry...”
Toby apologized to Tommy profusely.
However, Tommy did not acknowledge it at all. He grabbed Toby’s collar and punched him in the stomach so forcefully that he collapsed onto the ground in pain.
David walked toward Toby slowly and looked down on him.
“Didn’t you tell me to kneel and apologize? Why are you kneeling now?” asked David teasingly.
Not daring to raise his head, Toby groveled and said, “Please, spare my life! I’m not even human. I was blind to who you are...”
Toby kept pleading for mercy.
“I didn’t want to kill you, but you threatened my family.”
Ignoring Toby, David got into the car, smashed the Maserati to the side, and drove into the district.
After hearing what David said, Tommy knew what to do. No matter how much Toby pleaded, Tommy still dragged him to the car. Only death awaited him.
The woman watched while her husband got taken away. Staring at the Maserati, which had been utterly destroyed, she became dumbfounded.
It took a while before Mark and the other security guards returned to their senses.
Mark said to the security guards, “If you see Mr. Chance in the future, you better be respectful. Anyone who dares to disrespect him will be fired immediately!”
Meanwhile, David drove up the hill. A short while later, he bumped into Zayne and the rest, who had already reviewed the houses and were preparing to leave with the sales associate.
When they saw David driving his damaged Ford, they were stunned. They could not figure out how he managed to enter.
“David must have barged in with his car when no one was looking. He’s probably afraid of getting beaten up,” said Lydia as she stared at the car’s damaged hood.
“He’s so bold. How dare he barge into Dragon Bay?” mocked Zayne.
When the sales associate heard their conversation, an idea popped into her head. She dashed over and stopped David.
If this guy really barged in, the company would definitely reward me for stopping him.
The sales associate’s thoughts were very naive. As she did not work in the maintenance department, she had no idea that David lived in Dragon Bay.
“How dare you barge in with your car?” interrogated the sales associate loudly after stopping David.
David was stunned. “I didn’t barge in. I drove in. Even your manager saw me.”
“Stop defending yourself, David. Look at how damaged your car is. You must have barged in with your car because you’re scared of being beaten up. There’s probably someone chasing you, right?”
Lydia sauntered over with a mocking look.
