Mason threw them a cold look. At present, there’s no need to kill anyone yet.
Upon receiving his look, Black Python and the others lowered their guards.
Staring at Janet and Mason, Aquila snarled viciously, “How dare the worthless Lowry Family act impudently here in Markovia?” This Lowry Family from Sandfort City is truly courting death! How dare they blatantly restrain my men? We’re not to be pushed around by people from Sandfort City when we’re Markovians! This is utterly ridiculous!
Henry chuckled. “Aren’t you worthless as well? After all, we got the better of you!”
At that, Aquila’s hands clenched into fists, and he guffawed. “Haha… You’re about to die, yet you still dare talk back to me, huh? Your head will be the first one I take later.” Well, well… These worthless people actually dared to step all over us. And… And that masked woman has actually colluded with the Lowry Family! If Jasmine sees her disciple doing this, she’ll definitely be heartbroken. The only thing I can do now is to drag things out until J’Adore and Jasmine arrive. As soon as they’re here, I’ll immediately eliminate this group of worthless people! After all, they’re better off dead!
While they were at a standoff, the ringing of a cell phone suddenly cut through the air.
Janet thereby reached into her pocket and took out her cell phone. Lowering his head, Mason glanced at it, only to see a single word on the caller ID—Lee. He pursed his lips before murmuring, “Go and answer it.”
Janet was startled. Finding the atmosphere rather tense, she nodded before walking away with her cell phone in hand. The moment she answered the call, she heard Lee asking anxiously, “What’s going on between you and Aquila, Janet? Why is he looking for you everywhere like a headless chicken?”
“Looking for me?” Janet’s lips curved upward, for she found it very much amusing.
“He’s requesting that you bring some men over to Markovia’s underground casino, and he’ll be giving you 15% of the land in return.”
When Janet heard this, she truly couldn’t stifle her laughter anymore and chortled aloud. “Tell him to clean up after himself instead of looking for me shamelessly.” He wants me to make a move against the Lowry Family and fight against my own kin? Am I that stupid?
Nodding, Lee added, “He also wants you to make an appearance at Markovia’s underground casino as Jasmine. The payment is one billion!”
The moment she heard those words, Janet’s eyes danced with laughter. I’ve never heard anything as hilarious as this! Just because I said, ‘Jasmine is half my master, so I respect her quite a bit’, Aquila is spending one billion to look for me and have me settle this matter with Jasmine’s identity. I’ve never crossed swords with him in a long while, but never had I thought that he has grown so dumb.
Lee became all the more puzzled upon hearing the chuckle from the other end of the phone, which made him frown. “Janet, what exactly is going on between you and Aquila?”
Upon hearing that, Janet smirked, her eyes glittering diabolically. “I’ll tell you later.” Then, she paused for a few seconds before ordering, “Tell Aquila that I’ll make an appearance at Markovia’s underground casino.” But I won’t be doing so for the sake of helping him.
As Aquila looked at Janet who was answering her call at the corner, he couldn’t help giving a bark of laughter and declaring derisively, “Stop trying to get backup, you worthless dogs! You won’t be able to leave this city!” They want to call for backup? Their backup is probably lousy as hell.
As he was laughing uproariously, Baldy scrambled down from the first floor. At the sight of him, Aquila asked, “J’Adore has asked her men to come over, yes?” His face shone with elation. I just knew that she’ll do me this favor!
