Zack took out his phone and quickly made a call.
After he was done, he lifted his head to look at me. “I know you’ve got a pretty formidable bodyguard, you rascal, but it’s only right for a debt to be paid. If you don’t pay up today, Montana can be given to me as collateral. Make your choice.”
It could have been because he was wary of Mindy that Zack did not threaten to kill me.
I smiled at this point and said, “Young Master Reed, I think you’re forgetting something. Have you forgotten that I chose the fourth choice? I want you to call me your grandpa and kneel in apology.”
“Are you f*****g intent on humiliating me this way, you rascal?” Zack said, with a vicious look on his face.
“Hoho, do you think we haven’t really offended each other yet? The moment you wanted my girlfriend to become an escort, we lost all room for peaceful resolve!” I said with a chuckle.
“Fine, you’re not budging, are you, you rascal? Don’t think that just because you have a formidable person with you that I’ll be afraid. So what if she’s formidable? You’ll still end up in my hands once my people get here.”
“Fine. Wait if you want to.” I broke out in a wide smile.
Vincent had replied to my message a while ago.
He told me that most of the men in my unit were on the way…
When he used the term ‘unit’, I could only imagine how big this group of help was going to be.
I had never planned for this to blow up to such a scale. All I had wanted was to settle this once and for all.
However, I gave it further thought and decided if I did not have enough manpower to scare them off, they might return to bully Montana once I was gone.
It would be better for me to blow this up. I wanted to see if anyone dumb would come bullying them in the future after this.
…
More than ten minutes later, I heard noisy honking coming from the alleyway outside.
I knew this had to be the help Vincent had gotten me.
Zack and his lackeys cheered up when they heard the commotion. “What is with the f*****g noise outside? Did Wild Dog bring all his people here?”
“That must be it. Just listen to that commotion. He must have more than a hundred people here!”
Zack listened to his lackeys discussing amongst themselves, and a smile appeared on his lips. “My men are about to arrive, you rascal. There’s still time for you to save yourself. Hand Montana over to me.”
“I’m not doing that.”
“Fine. Just wait and see. Don’t regret this.”
Zack had thought that help was coming for me and he became quite incorrigible. He even got his lackey to bring him a chair. He crossed his legs and smoked a cigar, looking quite carefree.
However, two large-built men walked in threateningly the next second.
One of them was wearing camouflage army attire.
Zack was shocked to see this and immediately stood up.
Even I gave a start when I saw them.
I could feel the thorny aura of a killing machine. I felt like the temperature of the entire area dropped when the two of them walked in.
This two had to be killing machines. The kind who spent their lives weaving through dead bodies.
They looked around then they entered and asked in a booming voice, “May we know which one of you is Young Master Freddie Lang?”
“Me. I’m him.”
Even though I knew this was the help Vincent had gotten me, I was still petrified by the fierce look in their eyes.
“Young Master Lang, I’m Lance Cabe, commander of the fifth division armored corps. I’m here on Mr. Vincent Quinn’s instructions to conduct our military drill here.”
“Are you here on your own?”
I was stunned by Lance in his military uniform.
I had no idea that Vincent had got the help of the army, even moving their military drill nearby here.
Zane was not the only one who was shocked. I was astonished as well.
“Of course not. As the roads are blocked, our entire unit is made out of 2057 people and more than 100 armored vehicles are on standby one kilometer away. Please let us know if you have any orders for us, Young Master.”
“No, I don’t.” I shook my head vigorously.
It was just Zane Reed. I did not need someone of Lance’s caliber to be here.
All he needed to do was to show his face, and Zane would probably piss his pants.
It was just as I had thought.
Zack’s legs were trembling at the sight of Lance and he could hardly stand.
The person next to Lance spoke up after Lance was done speaking. “Young Master Lang, I’m the First Triad Leader of Four Seas Triad. My name is Jordan Green. I’ve been helped by Mr. Vincent Quinn before, so if there’s anything you need, please feel free to let me know. We have one thousand and six members from the Four Seas Triad all at your beck and call.”
“I… I got it.”
I was so shocked I had no idea what to say as I looked at the two people in front of me.
Vincent had gotten me an army.
At the thought of this, I turned to the ghostly-pale Zack and chuckled. “Young Master Reed, who did you say would be regretting this?”
“Me… me…. me…”
Zack was so frightened that his legs could not stop trembling.
Even though I was standing a distance away, I could smell the foul scent of piss and s**t.
I had not realized that he was so scared he had peed in his pants.
The prince of Shura City’s number one gangster had been so scared by me that he pissed his pants.
Zack stammered, but the words he wanted to say could not reach his mouth…
Right at that moment, his phone rang.
It was especially loud in the silent night air.
I took a look at his phone and chuckled. “Pick it up. Turn on the speaker. That might be your help coming. Let me have a look and see if your help is more formidable than mine.”
“I…”
Zack was quite hesitant, but he picked up the call in the end.
“Hey, Young Master Zack, what the hell are you doing? We can’t get into Crowing Alley and the roads are filled with armored vehicles. What exactly is going on? Why is the military involved?”
Zack lost all hope when he heard this. He hung up despondently and with a slam, knelt on the ground.
“I was wrong, Young Master Lang. I made a mistake,” he said while kneeling on the ground, nodding vigorously.
When the others saw their boss acting this way, they all followed suit and knelt.
The garden was filled with people kneeling in an instant.
I opened my mouth, wanting to say something when Zack’s phone suddenly rang again.
He glanced at his phone and quickly picked it up as if grasping at an opportunity to save himself.
“Dad, help. Save me. I got into trouble, huge trouble. You’ve got to save me.” Zack was aware of how much trouble he was in and could not stop begging for help from Mr. Reed.
As Zack was pretty near me, I could hear the conversation on his phone.
“Son, it’s not important what trouble you’re in. Hurry up and get to Crowing Alley. I found out through a secret channel that the heir of Stamen Group is here. All of the rich businessmen in the city are preparing to welcome him. Even the military and Four Seas Triad are here. We need to get ourselves into the best position to get into his good graces. This would tremendously help us.”
“What? The heir of Stamen Group?” Zack’s face turned green when he heard this.
Looking around him with his father’s call in his ear, he finally understood what was going on.
Zack smiled bitterly. “Dad, I think I might have already met him. The trouble I got into was because I offended him. Please come and save me, Dad.”
“What???”
A piercing shout could be heard from the other end of the call.
The next second, only a busy tone could be heard coming from the phone.
…
Mr. Reed rushed over after a few minutes. Just like Zack, he nodded vigorously in front of me, begging for my forgiveness.
If they had offended an ordinary person, there might have been room for salvation.
However, I was the one they had offended, the heir of Stamen Group.
Moreover, Lance and Jordan from Four Seas Triad were standing on each side of me, acting as my assistants.
Mr. Reed might have been able to get away with things, but here, there was nothing much he could do.
It felt strange watching dozens of people kneeling before me.
Being rich really placed a person on a pedestal.
Mr. Reed was a local king to the people here, and no one could afford to offend him.
However, they were kneeling before him right now and were weak as a stinkbug that I could crush at any moment.
