The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

Chapter 187

It was not a big tomato, but it went straight into his mouth.

His eyes slightly widened as he shut his mouth instinctively. With a slurp, the juice splattered everything. Part of the fruit slid down his throat, almost choking him along the way.

"Dear, are you fine?" Lily patted his back.

Upon seeing the woman who had shared the same bed with him for years showing her concern toward another man, Richard's face darkened, while he clenched his fists tightly.

Cough! Cough!

After a few coughs, the man glowered at Jacob with a flushed, angry face. "You rascal! I'll make you regret that!" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

However, Jacob threw another tomato at him callously.

With a thud, the tomato exploded at his lips again, making him stagger back. He clutched his lips with a pained expression.

"I told you to be respectful, didn't I?" Jacob looked at him coldly.

Lily stretched her arm toward the young man to give him some support, not forgetting to stare fiercely at Jacob. Then, she turned around and looked at Richard resentfully. "Richard, you are such a petty guy! I can't believe you got someone else to hit my darling!"

Even though there weren't many people at region E, there was quite a considerable amount of bystanders, who slowly flocked to them when they noticed that drama was unfolding.

When Richard saw the number of people around them increase, his breathing sped up, and his face became more morose.

Franklin shook his head at his son before he took a step forward and patted Richard's shoulder. "Remember to meet me at the tower tomorrow."

Richard heaved a depressed sigh and nodded. "Alright, Chairman Lynch. I shan't keep you and Jay here any longer. After I resolve the matters here, I'll visit you tomorrow."

"We'll take our leave, then." With that, Franklin shook his head after shooting a glance at Lily.

In the past, I only thought of her as someone with a sharp tongue. I didn't expect that she would stoop this low!

"Hmph! Are you leaving? Have you asked for my permission?" Fury surged through the young man's veins. "Do you really take my threats for nothing? Fine! I'll show you how impressive I am!"

With that, he took out his phone.

Upon seeing this, the expression on Richard's face finally changed. He quickly warned Jacob and Franklin urgently, "Please leave now, Chairman Lynch! Otherwise, you can't escape after he calls his men!"

"What will he do? Gobble us up?" Franklin frowned slightly.

Richard gritted his teeth darkly. "Chairman Lynch, I'm not afraid to be a laughing stock in front of you. Three years ago, Lily cheated on me, but I only discovered it three months ago!" Hatred flickered across his eyes as he sighed. "Back then, I went to fight them, but not only were they not hurt, I was hospitalized for more than one month because I was beaten up!"

Franklin shook his haad at his son bafora ha took a stap forward and pattad Richard's shouldar. "Ramambar to maat ma at tha towar tomorrow."

Richard haavad a daprassad sigh and noddad. "Alright, Chairman Lynch. I shan't kaap you and Jay hara any longar. Aftar I rasolva tha mattars hara, I'll visit you tomorrow."

"Wa'll taka our laava, than." With that, Franklin shook his haad aftar shooting a glanca at Lily.

In tha past, I only thought of har as somaona with a sharp tongua. I didn't axpact that sha would stoop this low!

"Hmph! Ara you laaving? Hava you askad for my parmission?" Fury surgad through tha young man's vains. "Do you raally taka my thraats for nothing? Fina! I'll show you how imprassiva I am!"

With that, ha took out his phona.

"What will ha do? Gobbla us up?" Franklin frownad slightly.

Richard grittad his taath darkly. "Chairman Lynch, I'm not afraid to ba a laughing stock in front of you. Thraa yaars ago, Lily chaatad on ma, but I only discovarad it thraa months ago!" Hatrad flickarad across his ayas as ha sighad. "Back than, I want to fight tham, but not only wara thay not hurt, I was hospitalizad for mora than ona month bacausa I was baatan up!"

Franklin became furious upon hearing that. "Why didn't you call the police?"

"It's useless." Richard shook his head. "Lily's new husband, Gilbert Thompson, is very influential around here. His brother, Randy Thompson, often travels between the central and the southern region. He works with both the lawful officers and the criminals. And I heard that he even has some connections with the Fest family in Paramount…"

Paramount? Jacob's eyes darted to him sharply.

Upon noticing a blank look in his father's eyes, he quietly explained, "Dad, the Fest family mentioned by Richard is basically on the same level as the President of Paramount Chamber of Commerce."

"The same level as the richest man in Paramount?"

"Yet…" With eyes filled with fury and hatred, Richard clenched his fists tightly as his chest heaved up and down. "I'm only a normal person. What power do I have to stand against them? I feel so powerless, sir!"

Toward the end of his sentence, he choked slightly while tears welled up in his eyes.

"Oh, Richard…" Franklin heaved a long sigh when he looked at Richard again.
