Chapter 176
At the same time, Leyton was sitting across from Felix with his injured arm in a cast in the general manager’s office in Vintage Restaurant.
“So, why did you have someone contact me, Mr. Scott?” Felix questioned while pouring Leyton a cup of tea personally.
The Scott family was considered a wealthy family in Horington. While the Crimson Dragon Gang wasn’t afraid of the Scott family, the affluent families were money trees, so he knew that Leyton was there to give him money.
“I’ve heard that your capabilities are outstanding, and I can see today that it’s indeed true, Mr. Lawson. Considering your muscular build, even three or five burly men aren’t your match!” Leyton complimented endlessly.
“Haha, you don’t have to flatter me, Mr. Scott. Just speak freely about whatever matter it is. If it’s within my capability, I’ll definitely do my best to a*sist you!” Felix boomed while guffawing.
“Honestly speaking, Mr. Lawson, I’ve got an enemy. I’d like to ask you for some men to a*sist me in my bid for revenge. I’ll reward you with ten million after the matter has been settled. Here’s five million as a deposit.”
While saying that, Leyton sl*pped a bank card over to Felix.
“Haha… As expected of a wealthy heir! How generous!” Felix was a tad surprised that Leyton was offering ten million right off the bat.
However, he abruptly put away his smile after a few barks of laughter. Staring at Leyton solemnly, he remarked, “I know that Tommy Lewis owes the Scott family a favor. Why didn’t you go to him for this matter? Besides, the Scott family employs quite a number of b*dyguards, no? Why would you come and seek the Crimson Dragon Gang out instead? The Crimson Dragon Gang and Templar Regiment have always been at odds. Aren’t you taking the hard way by abandoning Templar Regiment and coming to the Crimson Dragon Gang?”
He knew a bit of backstory between the Scott family and Tommy, since it was no secret.
“Hmph! Don’t mention that ungrateful wretch! If it weren’t for the Scott family, he would’ve died on the streets long ago! Now, however, he has become the Sullivan family’s dog and has long since cut off all ties with the Scott family!” Leyton snarled furiously at the mention of Tommy.
He then explained, “As for the b*dyguards of the Scott family, I can’t mobilize any single one of them! They only obey my father’s orders, and he thinks that I’m still recuperating in the hospital right now!”
“Haha, I got it now!” Felix nodded in understanding.
Subsequently, he added, “Indeed, Tommy has gotten quite close with the Sullivan family recently. Anyway, don’t tell me that your enemy is the son of some official. If so, I’ve got to warn you that the Crimson Dragon Gang always stays on their good side.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lawson. It’s just an ordinary person who knows some martial arts. He’s no son of an official or the like!”
Leyton hastily shook his head.
“Great! I’ll have Adrian lead a dozen men and seek you out tomorrow, Mr. Scott: You can decide however you’d like to deal with your enemy.” Felix stated mildly.
“Is it possible to send more men, Mr. Lawson?” Leyton queried uneasily upon hearing that Felix was only planning to send a dozen men over.
.
After all, Jared was too powerful, and Leyton had personally witnessed Jared defeating several people within seconds.
“Why? How powerful is that enemy of yours that even a dozen men aren’t enough?”
Felix was slightly taken aback at that request.
“No, no, he isn’t all that powerful. I just want to bring more men so that it’ll look more imposing!”
Leyton kept the truth to himself, not daring to tell Felix that Jared was extraordinarily skilled for fear that Felix would back out or demand more money.
“All right, then. Since you said as much, Mr. Scott, I’ll send thirty men over for a show of strength. I hope we’ll have more opportunities to work together in the future!”
Lumbering to his feet, Felix shook hands with him.
“I thank you in advance then, Mr. Lawson!” Leyton exclaimed exuberantly.
After leaving Vintage Restaurant, Leyton got back into his car. Sandy was waiting for him in the car.
“How did it go, Ley?” Sandy asked urgently.
“Hmph! Just wait and see how Jared is going to kneel before us and beg for mercy tomorrow! I’m going to crush him under my feet and have him know my might!” Leyton crowed triumphantly, his eyes glinting coldly.
