Chapter 133 Nine Lives
Hilda didn’t reveal to Jared how powerful Felix was, as she was cognizant of his over-inflated ego. If she had been frank, Jared would never want to leave.
After glancing at Yolanda, Jared turned his attention to Hilda and suggested, “Hilda, you and Yolanda should go first. I’ll be leaving in a short while.”
Jared’s refusal to leave simply intensified Hilda’s worries. Thus, she had no choice but to speak the truth. “Jared, Yolanda just told me that Mr. Lawson is very strong. Hence, it’s better if we don’t challenge him.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not afraid.” Jared smiled faintly.
When Yolanda saw how stubborn Jared was, she had no choice but to admonish him aloud, “Don’t assume that you are invincible just because you know a thing or two. Mr. Lawson is a key lieutenant of the leader of the Crimson Dragon Gang, and he is an extremely skilled fighter. In fact, even if there were two or three of you, you would still be no match for him. Therefore, do you still want to stay back?”
“What’s there to be scared of?” Jared responded with nonchalance.
‘You…” Yolanda almost exploded. Finally, desperately pulled Hilda along with her. “Hilda, let’s just leave him and go. Given that he has offended the Crimson Dragon Gang, there’s no way he will survive to see tomorrow. It’s not worth it for us to be dragged down with him.”
With that, Yolanda forcefully towed Hilda away. Even though Rhino didn’t want to let them go, he didn’t dare to utter a single word of protest, as he was worried about being assaulted by Jared again.
Not long after the ladies were gone, a few cars came speeding in and screeched to a halt in front of the stall they were at.
When the owner saw what was going on, he fled into his cabin in fear. At the same time, the other patrons began to flee. Only those who were brave enough stayed back to watch from afar.
Everyone knew of Felix’s terrifying reputation. Therefore, no one dared to offend him for fear of losing their lives.
At the sight of the cars, Rhino hurried forward to open the car door in a sycophantic manner.
Chomping a cigar in his mouth, Felix alighted from the car. The authority he exuded awed the onlooking crowd.
Facing Felix with a remorseful expression, Rhino greeted loudly, “Mr. Lawson!”
“Rhino, look at you. You’re nothing but a disgrace!” Looking at Rhino’s miserable expression, Felix furrowed his brows. “Where’s the troublemaker?”
“Mr. Lawson, he’s sitting right there.” Rhino pointed at Jared.
As Felix’s gaze trailed the trajectory of Rhino’s finger, his body shivered at the sight of Jared, causing the cigar he was smoking to drop onto the ground.
When he saw how petrified Felix was, Rhino was stunned. He quickly picked up the cigar and explained, “Mr. Lawson, he’s just one man but has some decent skills. In fact, he had even defeated all of my men.”
At that moment, Felix was so enraged that he wanted to give Rhino a piece of his mind.
Jared doesn’t just have some decent skills. He is actually so strong that Steven was defeated with just a kick. Consequently, there’s no one in Horington who could fight him at all.
“Mr. Lawson!” At that moment, Jared looked at Felix in a mischievous manner. “Looks like fate has brought us together again.”
In response, Felix broke into a servile smile and walked up to Jared. “Mr. Chance, I’m sure you’re just joking. Looks like it’s my fault for not disciplining my men again.”
At that moment, Rhino was shocked. With a bewildered expression, he looked in Felix’s direction.
“Your subordinate claimed that I wouldn’t be leaving this place alive even if I had nine lives,” Jared related with a smirk.
“That’s impossible. With your skills, no one in Horington can stop you.” Felix smiled awkwardly before turning to Rhino. “Rhino, get your ass over here.”
