Chapter 123 Against The Rules
“No, that’s against the rules!” One of the burly men shook his head.
“Since you can’t. I’ll just have to ask your boss.”
With that, Jared walked toward the manager’s office upstairs.
The four men were stunned. Not only was Jared not afraid of them, he even viewed them with contempt.
“Da*n you!”
With a roaring cry, they sprang to action and thrust their dagger at him.
Jared waved his hand without even looking. The four men suddenly felt a forceful strike on their wrist, causing them to drop their daggers onto the floor.
Stupefied, they gawked at Jared as he ascended the stairs.
They had no idea what just happened. In fact, they didn’t even see Jared make any contact with them. In spite of that, they had dropped their daggers and saw a bleeding cut on their wrists.
It wasn’t until Jared was out of sight that the four men regained their senses and ran in pursuit.
Meanwhile, inside the manager’s office, Felix furrowed his brows slightly with a cigar in his hand.
Prior to this, the balance of power in Horington’s underground was equally split between the Templar Regiment and Crimson Dragon Gang. As for the other minor gangs, they were barely worth mentioning.
However, after Steven, the leader of the Crimson Dragon Gang, was injured, he left Felix in charge. Therefore, Felix didn’t dare make any reckless moves. Without Steven around, there was no way they could defend themselves against any attacks by Tommy.
Furthermore, Felix had seen with his own eyes how Jared had defeated Steven and was consequently shocked by his strength. He even wondered to himself where Tommy found such a powerful subordinate.
At the same time, Steven had gone to seek out his master, Francis. As long as he could bring Francis back, the Crimson Dragon Gang would be able to stand toe to toe with the Templar Regiment.
Bam!
Just when Felix was looking out the window pondering about the gang’s future, his office door was kicked open with a thunderous bang.
Without even looking, he snapped, “F*ck, who dares to enter my office without knocking?”
The moment he turned around, he was so taken aback that his eyes flashed with horror.
After all, Jared, the man who defeated Steven, was standing right in front of him.
Nevertheless, Jared didn’t know who Felix was. Although Steven had brought a large group of people to Walter’s banquet, Jared didn’t fight anyone else but Steven alone.
“Are you the manager of Vintage Restaurant?” Jared asked the shocked Felix.
When he realized Jared wasn’t aware of who he was, he nodded at once. “Yes, I am. What can I help you with?”
“Just a while ago, your subordinates told me that someone has hired them to dispose of me. Hence, I want to know who it was.”
Pulling up a chair, Jared took a seat right away.
“Hired them to kill you?” Felix knitted his brows slightly. Suddenly, his eyes opened wide while his body began to shiver.
He had remembered Xavier’s request for him to kill someone. Unfortunately, he didn’t expect Jared to be the target.
Just when Felix was stumped, the four burly men rushed into the room.
“Mr. Lawson, the kid is strong. The four of us were no match for him and couldn’t stop him from coming up here,” one of the burly men reported.
When he realized Xavier’s target was undoubtedly Jared, Felix almost collapsed onto the floor.
He was now filled with regret. If he had known it was Jared, he wouldn’t have taken the job regardless of how much he was paid, let alone one million.
Despite how strong Steven was, he was easily defeated by Jared with just a kick.
