Chapter 9

At this point, Theodore and the other two were injured.

Josephine and Cordelia were safe and sound thanks to Markus’s protection.

The six of them, including Markus, were surrounded by more than a dozen thugs, but none of them panicked.

‘Warna die? Reginald, it’s not that I look down on you, but what can you do except for making girls drunk? If you’re that tough, I dare you to beat us up now!” Theodore said in a tough tone.

Reginald snorted. “You mean Emily? Is it any of your business if she’s willing to sleep with me?”

Harrison couldn’t stand it anymore. He tried to charge at Reginald without any care in the world but Theodore and Anthony managed to stop him.

It would be unwise to make a move at this point.

“If I raped her, why didn’t she report it to the City Watch? Reginald sneered, “Harrison, I know Emily is your girlfriend, but she insisted on sleeping with me. What can I do? Even if she’s your wife, I can’t stop her if she insists on sleeping with me, right?”

This set off a commotion.

“You bastard!”

Harrison gritted his teeth.

When he thought of how Emily had cried her heart out, his heart felt like it was bleeding.

If he hadn’t maintained a shred of rationality left…

He wouldn’t have brought a baseball bat with him today.

He would bring a knife!

“Did hearing the truth piss you off? Damn it, this hurts! Theodore, don’t even think about walking out of this door without giving me a satisfactory explanation!”

Reginald touched his head but quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

His palm was full of blood.

“Friends, we have some private matters to handle so we’ll be closing the bar. Forgive us for the lack of hospitality. Your bills will be covered. Please leave.”

A middle-aged man suddenly spoke up.

“Mr. Bernard!”

“Mr. Bernard!”

The middle-aged man walked up to them and everyone greeted him respectfully.

This included Reginald.

Bernard Montague.

He was an influential figure in the Montague Crime Family.

Now that Bernard had spoken….

The guests at the bar didn’t dare to watch the show tonight, so they left in a hurry.

“What’s wrong with you, Reginald? How did you provoke Mr. Stuart and his friends?”

Bernard questioned in an elegant manner.

Reginald grinned. “I’m innocent! Last night, a woman named Emily fell for me. She got me drunk and slept with me! But Harrison Sinclair, this lunatic, came to take revenge on me because I slept with his girlfriend! Don’t you think I’m the victim here, Mr. Bernard?”

“For real?”

“I wouldn’t dare lie to you, Mr. Bernard!”

“I don’t think so!” Bernard nodded and looked at Theodore and the rest. “In that case, it’s your fault. You should blame Mr. Sinclair’s girlfriend for being improper and provoking Reginald. Instead, you came here to make trouble for Reginald again. You’ve gone too far.

Hearing the two of them echoing each other, Theodore sneered. “Does everyone from the Montague Crime Family lie through their teeth? Everyone knows what happened last night. Mr. Bernard, why don’t you just drop the act?

Chapter 9

How can you twist the truth so?” Harrison shouted angrily.

Beniard narrowed his eyes. “It’s not up to the likes of you to criticize the Montague Crime Family!”

He didn’t want to argue with them anymore, so he said, “Let’s talk about the damages you caused us. Call your father and tell him to prepare 400.000 dollars in exchange for you. Otherwise, none of you are leaving this place tonight”

His tone was calm and his attitude was tough.

Reginald laughed even harder. “Mr. Bernard, what about my medical expenses?”

“Forget it”

Bernard appeared very generous.

400,000 dollars? You sure are good at making money!”

Markus mumbled.

Bernard frowned. “You’re…”

He didn’t recognize Markus’s face.

Markus immediately said, “I’m not with them, and I don’t have the money to compensate you either.”

In an instant, people cast disgusted looks at him.

Josephine and Cordelia were among them.

How could he have no loyalty at all?

“Bernard Montague! Riverside City isn’t your family’s playground! You should know who we are!” Theodore said fearlessly.

Bernard smiled elegantly. “Of course I do. Mr. Stuart, your family owns one of the top five companies in the city, the Stuart Family Corporation. You have a distinguished status.

“Miss Beaumont is the daughter of the owner of the Vibrant Realty!

“Miss Beatrix is…”

Finally, he added, “You’re all noble people, which is why I’m being so polite. Normally, I’d get my men to beat people up before I start the negotiations. I’ve shown you enough courtesy.”

Theodore said coldly, “Since you know who we are, aren’t you afraid that we’ll join forces to go against your family?” This was also why Theodore dared to bring a few people to help Harrison vent his anger!

Their combined influence was enough to send shockwaves across Riverside City.

He didn’t believe that the Montague Crime Family wouldn’t be afraid of them at all!

However…

Bernard was, indeed, unafraid. There was only a look of ridicule on his face.

He was mocking their naivety.

“You do come from rich families, but your wealth has yet to reach Aaron Winchester’s level. In other words, you’re not rich enough to make my family bow to you. Your parents won’t join forces to fight us over an insignificant woman either.” Bernard seemed to have lost his patience with these young men. He turned around to leave, but not before saying, “Call your parents. 400,000 dollars isn’t a lot of money. They’ll give it to you.”

Theodore was speechless.

He could naturally tell that the Montague Crime Family didn’t take them seriously at all.

For their families, 400,000 dollars was indeed a small sum of money,

But if they really gave Bernard the money…

They would be thoroughly humiliated!

Then coming to trash the Insatiable Bar would be the biggest joke in Riverside City.

“That Bernard guy… I really want to beat him up!”

Suddenly, Markus whispered in Josephine’s car.

“Be my guest then!”

Josephine was in a bad mood and ignored Markus’s sudden interest in Bernard.

“But the problem is that I don’t have anything against him. It’s not appropriate to beat him up,” Markus mumbled to himself.

Chapter 9

Hearing this, Cordelia snorted. “If you dare to beat him, I’ll leave with you tonight. I’ll let you do what you want to me.”

“For real?”

“For real!”

“Then I want a presidential suite… You pay for it.”

‘No problem.

Cordelia didn’t believe that Markus would dare to touch Bernard.

She had already seen through Markus. She knew he was just a coward.

He wasn’t even as good as Anthony.

“Hey, Mr. Bernard! Wait a minute!”

Everyone watched as Markus stopped Bernard of all a sudden.

Bernard turned around in confusion. “What did you call…”

Thump!

Bernard’s vision blurred.

He felt a heavy blow on his abdomen, and the force sent him flying almost ten feet away. He knocked over a booth and crashed on the floor.

Everyone was stunned.

Markus…. had just sent Bernard flying with a single kick!

The atmosphere was instantly tense.

“Sorry… I’m not with them.” Markus appeared harmless when he met Bernard’s pained, ruthless, and slightly puzzled gaze. “But I’m here to trash this place too. Tell Pablo Montague to come here!”

Josephine and Cordelia opened their mouths wide in disbelief.
