Chapter 209: Make You Suffer (1)
Emma, Jacob and Joseph huddled together in the dimly lit room while Adrian made himself comfortable on the sofa.
They had never seen anyone fight with such ferocity, and they could see the blood covering Adrian’s fists and clothes. None of them even wanted to imagine how those White Tiger Clan members looked if the one who defeated them looked so shit.
Fearing the worst, they were scared, unlike they had ever been before. How could they not be afraid when their plan to enlist the White Tiger Clan to intimidate him into giving them the company had backfired horribly, leaving them at the mercy of the very man they had sought to eliminate?
Joseph and Jacob exchanged nervous glances, their earlier bravado evaporating faster than alcohol under the sun. With their protectors gone to hell, they knew they had to do something to manipulate Adrian. After all, their lives were now in his hands.
"Th-thank you, Adrian," Joseph stammered, attempting to hide his fear under the mask of false gratitude. "Those thugs were harassing us, demanding to give your location to them, and we’re grateful you took care of them for us."
Jacob nodded vigorously, his voice trembling as he added, "Yes, thank you, my son! God knows what they would have done to us if you hadn’t arrived in time to save us!"
"Save your breath," Adrian replied, staring at them with cold, calculating eyes. "I know exactly what you were up to."
Joseph and Jacob exchanged panicked looks. If Adrian knew what they had done, their false attempt to manipulate him would fail, and god knows what he would do to them.
Sensing the dire situation, Emma used her brain and gently reached for her phone to call the authorities. It didn’t matter how strong Adrian was, once the DRA and other associations stepped in, there was nothing even he could do to them.
