Lyla was at a loss for words all of a sudden. She had no idea what to say."Be good and go home."Sean's words seemed to carry a kind of magic. It was impossible to resist.Lyla nodded obediently and walked stiffly out of there.When walking past Sean, Sean took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger."Listen to me. Don't ever drink with these bastards again. As a girl, you should protect yourself. I can protect you once, but not next time. That's all. Goodbye."Zander barged in with someone."Mr. Lennon, I'm here with the men."To hide his identity, Sean told Zander yesterday to address him as Mr. Lennon when they were outside.Without looking back, Sean said to the trembling security guards in front of him, "I'm not going to kill you, but someone will take care of this. That's all."With that said, he headed for the exit.The men Zander brought over took care of the scene quickly and Zander followed closely behind Sean."Mr. Lennon, the plane is ready to go any time."
1.36 p.m. Sunnyridge Street in suburban Ocean City.Sean took a deep breath when he arrived.To be honest, he had no idea where to find Willow. He had given the order to secretly investigate the Lake family, but he would be foolish to expect any useful information at such short notice."Mr. Lennon, what should we do now?"Zander noticed Sean had hurried over as he asked, and he immediately followed.Because they were in a rush, one of the two drunk men brushing past Sean hit Zander's shoulder."I'm so sorry." Zander curtly apologized and continued to catch up with Sean.The man who had been hit in the shoulder grabbed Zander's shoulder."Hey, what's wrong with you? Do you not look where you're going? Are you blind?"Before Zander could answer, the man swung at Zander’s face.Seeing this, Zander took the man's fist in his hand."What's the matter with you? I didn't knock you down or hurt you. I even apologized. What more do you want?""What do I want? Can you fool me with ju
He laughed sarcastically. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at you two unfortunate fools.""To tell you the truth, I'm irritated after being beaten up by some strange fellows. I was looking for a place to blow off steam, and you two just bumped into me. If you two aren't unlucky, who is?"Lamar pointed at Zander with his baseball bat."Is this the guy who hit you?" The two men who were beaten nodded vigorously."Alright, I'll take this guy on myself. As for the other one..." Lamar looked at Sean with a sneer.He did not even take Sean seriously."The guy next to him at least had some courage to beat us, but this loser came in obediently. How ridiculous. Since he's so pitiful, any two of you can beat him up and get justice for our buddies." "Alright." Two men immediately walked out, sneered at Sean, and rushed up to Sean.Lamar grabbed his baseball bat and swung it at Zander's head.Zander threw a punch at Lamar's metal baseball bat.Lamar scoffed at this."What's wrong with you? You're
"I'm sorry. I was wrong, really wrong."I had a momentary lapse in judgment. Please let me go! A couple of guys just like you two took a beautiful woman by force yesterday. I wanted to rescue her, but I didn't expect them to be so strong."My buddies and I were so angry that we accidentally did such a ridiculous thing."Sean's eyes could hardly contain his anger when he heard this.Lamar cried even harder at Sean's reaction.He wondered if he would have to give up his life today.Sean glared at Lamar and said, "What did that woman look like?""Well..." Lamar tried hard to recall the woman's appearance. "I can't describe it! I quit school in fifth grade. All I know is that she's quite pretty. She looked like an angel even if she kept covering her face."Sean and Zander looked at each other when they heard that."Could it be Willow?" Zander asked."It's highly possible," Sean replied before glancing at Lamar again. "Where did those people go?""Guys, what do you think I am? I'
"Cut the crap. I said I want to have a look. What do you have to do with this?"The manager's eyes instantly lit up at the sight of the stack of cash.By the looks of it, it should be 10,000 dollars.However, the cunning man did not take it. Instead, he observed the two men in front of him.He had often shown surveillance footage in private.Usually, it was private investigators investigating cheating or rich heirs who had had their eye on girls who happened to pass by them.Sean and Zander did not look like the former.It was a simple matter since they were rich heirs. He could take advantage of them.The manager immediately showed an awkward smile."Oh, sirs! It's not that I don't want to help you out. There's a considerable risk to take. I'll tell you the truth. It's easy to make a living here, and I'm counting on this company to pay for my retirement. I'll have more to lose if I risk it because of you."Zander frowned slightly and took out another stack of cash. "Take it,
The manager scoffed and began to fiddle with his pen when he heard that."Gentlemen, don't say it like that. After all, you've done so much, and I happened to record some evidence of what you've done. What do you think will happen to you if I hand out this evidence? Tsk, tsk, tsk, this involves invasion of privacy. You're going to be locked up for at least two weeks.""I don't think you can afford to be locked up. I also don't want you to be wronged, so why don't we meet each other halfway?"The manager showed no sign of fear as Zander glared at him.He held up three fingers."300 thousand dollars. It's just the right amount. It's just the price of a meal for both of you. Am I right?"The manager did not forget to emphasize. "After you pay 300 thousand, you can even come and go here as you please for about ten days. I promise that no one will disturb you. Besides that, I'm going to erase all records you have been here too. Everyone can have peace of mind. How about that?"Zander
The manager shouted again, "Get them. Give these two a good beating. I'll take full responsibility and pay you 30 thousand! Hurry, beat up these two and take me to the hospital."There was a saying that money talks. Although 30 thousand dollars was not much money, a few of these people were tempted anyway. They immediately rushed up to attack Zander and Sean.Zander immediately slapped them.He slapped them on their faces, knocking them to the ground like firecrackers being set off. Those who got hit were badly battered.Several men who did nothing covered their faces aggrievedly."We didn't do anything! Why did you beat us too?""Yeah, we were only passing by!"Zander sneered. "Can't I be annoyed by you?"Sean spoke up."Zander, stop wasting time. Get their boss here and settle this from the top.""Alright." Zander was just about to grab someone and ask them where their boss was when he saw a half-bald man with a big belly and gold-rimmed glasses walk up, surrounded by four
The half-bald man was instantly furious at the thought."Damn, are you kidding me? Are you messing with me? My company is worth about 7 million dollars. Can you afford it?"How dare you make a scene in my territory and say such ridiculous things? I think you're just itching for trouble!"The half-bald man pointed at the four bodyguards beside him. "Get them. Give these two guys a good beating and deliver the evidence to the police. We'll send these two fools to jail and make them infamous."Seeing the four bodyguards walking menacingly toward Zander, the manager was ecstatic, and his pain seemed to have eased.He immediately shouted at Zander, "Hahaha, you fool! You're going to get a good beating. You're finished! Cry on the floor! You deserve it!"His boss' four bodyguards were professionals good at fighting. They would have no problem dealing with Zander and Sean."Beat them. Beat them hard!" the manager shouted again to the four bodyguards.However, as soon as the four bodyg
