Chapter 294 Not On The Same Level
Just as Walter had no idea what to do while the tension reached its peak, the door to the room was suddenly opened again, and a man in a suit promptly entered.
That person was Glen. When he learned that Kane had arrived in Horington, he had immediately made his way to the hotel.
He glanced at the bodyguards on the floor and said, “This is Horington, Kane, not Summerbank. You don’t get to hurt people in my territory. That’d be no different from spitting on my face.”
Kane was a little surprised that Glen had arrived. He didn’t expect that the Sullivan family could sway the mayor. Sure, the Sullivan family was the richest family in Horington, but they didn’t have a strong enough influence to ask the mayor to come.
However, what he didn’t know was that Glen was there was because of Jared, not because of the Sullivan family.
“I hope you don’t interfere with my matter, Mr. Lowe. Go back and be a good mayor instead of getting in my way.” While he was surprised by Glen’s appearance, he wasn’t afraid of the man. After all, Glen was just a mayor of a small city.
He didn’t see him as a threat at all as he would have dinner with officials who had a higher ranking than him in Summerbank all the time.
“This is my territory, and I have a responsibility to take care of the safety of the people of Horington. I could have you arrested for hurting my people. If you don’t want this mess to become even bigger than it already is, then you’ll take your men and get out of here. I’m willing to pretend that this never happened if you do.” Glen was enraged by Kane’s attitude.
“What a joke!” Kane laughed. “I’ll just sit here and wait for your people to arrest me, then. If you don’t send me out warmly by then, I’ll change my family name to yours!”
He had no intention of showing Glen any respect. Part of the reason was that Glen had been getting in his way and delaying the construction of a company building. He was already displeased with Glen because of that, so there was no way he would be respectful to him.
“You!” Glen gritted his teeth, his cheeks puffed with anger.
“Just be a good mayor and turn a blind eye to this particular person of yours. Stick your nose into my business again and you may find yourself unemployed.” Kane looked down on Glen despite the latter’s identity.
That spoke volume of how powerful the Whitaker family was.
The atmosphere froze up again as the room fell silent.
Thump, thump, thump!
Suddenly, a jumble of footsteps was heard, and Tommy could be seen barging into the room with a dozen of his men. When he saw how William was surrounded by the Whitaker family’s experts, his face darkened and he promptly asked his men to protect William.
William was basically Jared’s father-in-law at that point, which was why Tommy had to protect him.
Instead of being surprised, Kane laughed out loud when he saw Tommy arrive with his men. “Things are getting interesting! Even the underground king is here! I suppose this is the mightiest lineup that Horington has ever seen, eh?”
“You’re no match for us in our own territory, Kane! If you dare to turn Horington upside down, I’ll make sure you won’t leave here alive!” Tommy glared at him, looking fearless.
Ever since he consumed the enhancement pill, his strength and courage had increased by many folds. And having followed Jared and witnessed his strength, he had become even more fearless.
In the past, he would’ve never had the guts to talk to the head of the Whitaker family like that, as both of them were not on the same level at all.
