Chapter 42: Who is Mr. Lopez?
"Since the drinking game has ended, what will you do next?"
Those words echoed like a devil's curse—chilling Chris to the bone.
Especially now, with John standing directly in front of him, his cold, dark eyes boring into him like twin voids from the deepest pits of hell.
Chris was paralyzed by fear.
What kind of monster had he provoked?
Meanwhile—
Julian, swaying drunkenly, slurred through trembling lips before losing consciousness, "Mr. Lopez... I'm sorry..."
And then—he collapsed.
Chris, following in his father's footsteps, dropped to his knees and kowtowed over and over again.
He didn't know why his father was so terrified of John.
But even without knowing, Chris was completely consumed by John's overwhelming aura. Sometimes, fear wasn't just personal—it was infectious.
