Chapter 150
Scar stood in front of Jon Xander and said with a low voice, “There’s a problem, boss.”
Jon took out a cigarette and puffed on it nonchalantly. “What’s wrong?” he asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Both Ponytail and Big Skull are in trouble.”
Jon frowned. “Wait a minute. Weren’t Big Skull and the others sent to get rid of Samuel Smith and film his death? What did he get himself into?”
“Ponytail and his men haven’t returned until now. We’ve practically lost contact with them,” Scar answered.
“Then where’s Samuel Smith?”
“I’ve had someone investigate. Samuel Smith is safe at home, so Ponytail and his men may have been taken down.”
“F***!” Jon raged. “Can’t they do anything right? They deserve to die then.”
He immediately continued, “Then what about Big Skull? Didn’t I tell him to take over the Smith family’s Diva Limited? What happened to him?”
“Big Skull went over to Diva with a few dozen men and Sean Smith’s letter of commitment this morning, but the manager, Benson Smith, refused to hand the company over. With that, both parties got into a fight. In the end, Big Skull and everyone else was bashed up and they’ve been captured by Thomas Dunn.”
“
Jon’s eyes widened. “So Ponytail screwed up and allowed Samuel Smith to escape. Now, the Smiths have gone back on their word and refused to let Big Skull take over Diva. We’re in a bind just because of one wrong move!” he said furiously.
Scar added, “The worst thing is that Big Skull and the several dozen men are now being held captive by Thomas Dunn. Nathan Cross has demanded a ransom of thirty million before he let them go.”
Jon Xander smiled coldly. “Heh! He must have a death wish to ask for money from me like that. He won’t get a single cent from me! Have Nathan Cross await my revenge!”
Scar smiled bitterly. “Boss, all of Channing’s underground world is under Thomas Dunn’s control, and Thomas Dunn takes orders from Nathan Cross. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to get rid of those two in such a short time.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“I’ll gather thousands of men from Arcvale. We’ll see if Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn can handle that!” Jon scoffed.
“It’d certainly be easy to have all of our men in Arcvale wipe the two men out, but don’t forget that there seems to be a chief training his soldiers in Channing now,” Scar reminded him. “If we cause too much of a ruckus and get that chief’s attention, we might end up repeating the sad history with Novem Dragon and Gabriel Logan!”
Jon frowned as he heard the man’s words. “That’s indeed a cause for concern.”
Scar continued, “Moreover, Big Skull and his henchmen have all been injured. Their spirits will be dampened if we don’t save them in time, and you may have problems getting new men in the future.”
Jon’s eyes narrowed. “Is that all I can do? Give thirty million to Nathan Cross just like that? Where will I ever hide my shame?”
Scar said with his head raised, “I can take thirty million with me and meet Nathan Cross. You know my abilities best, Boss. I’ll kill that man as long as you let me approach him within a 3-meter radius!”
Jon was elated to hear that. “Hah! So we’ll aim straight for the king. We’ll destroy Nathan Cross, then take Thomas Dunn. With that, the throne of Channing’s underground world will be mine to claim. Scar, I’ll let you oversee all of Channing’s gray-area businesses if you kill Nathan Cross.”
“Thank you, Boss!” said Scar with his eyes full of excitement.
