Chapter 423 - 430: Lucy Campbell’s Man
William Johnson burst into laughter and said, "These are just kids’ affairs, a little conflict is nothing."
Lucy Campbell smiled faintly and replied, "Mr. Johnson, there’s no need to be so polite. If James Brown hit someone from the Brownie Family, and you just swallow this without reacting, it’ll look like I’m pressuring you. You are free to retaliate against James Brown, but I have only one request—don’t go after James Brown’s family or friends. Confront him directly."
William Johnson was momentarily stunned but soon understood Lucy Campbell’s implications. He chuckled and said, "Since Miss Johnson has put it that way, I’ll accept your terms."
"Alright then. In the future, if you’re ever in the Capital of SSUP or YODC City, feel free to call me. I’ve always admired your reputation, Mr. Johnson."
"Of course, of course!"
After hanging up the phone, William Johnson’s expression turned grim. He said, "Joe is really an idiot. Knowing full well that James Brown has close ties to the Sanker Family, he still recklessly stirred up trouble."
Jessica Wilson’s face changed suddenly, and she anxiously said, "Dad, you’re not going to stand up for Joe anymore, are you?"
William Johnson snorted and said, "You’ve all grown arrogant. While our family is powerful in the province, on a national scale, many families surpass us. The Sanker Family is one of the most prominent families in the Capital of SSUP. Lucy Campbell is now even praised as the most beautiful woman in SSUP Country—not only does she have stunning looks, but her abilities are exceptional. She’s not someone the Brownie Family can afford to provoke."
"So... does that mean Joe was beaten for nothing?"
William Johnson waved his hand dismissively and said, "Enough! Leave me alone. I’ll handle this matter. Don’t cause any more trouble."
After sending Michael Johnson and the others out, William Johnson tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest as he processed Lucy Campbell’s words. Someone like Lucy Campbell wouldn’t easily intervene for others, and if she did, it indicated a deep relationship. Ordinarily, with her personally making a call, he would have no choice but to endure it.
