Chapter 150 Scar stood in front of Jon Xander and said with a low voice, âThereâs a problem, boss.â
Jon took out a cigarette and puffed on it nonchalantly. âWhatâs wrong?â he asked, narrowing his eyes.
âBoth Ponytail and Big Skull are in trouble.â
Jon frowned. âWait a minute. Werenât Big Skull and the others sent to get rid of Samuel Smith and film his death? What did he get himself into?â
âPonytail and his men havenât returned until now. Weâve practically lost contact with them,â Scar answered.
âThen whereâs Samuel Smith?â
âIâve had someone investigate. Samuel Smith is safe at home, so Ponytail and his men may have been taken down.â
âF***!â Jon raged. âCanât they do anything right? They deserve to die then.â
He immediately continued, âThen what about Big Skull? Didnât I tell him to take over the Smith familyâs Diva Limited? What happened to him?â
âBig Skull went over to Diva with a few dozen men and Sean Smithâs letter of commitment this morning, but the manager, Benson Smith, refused to hand the company over. With that, both parties got into a fight. In the end, Big Skull and everyone else was bashed up and theyâve been captured by Thomas Dunn.â
â
Jonâs eyes widened. âSo Ponytail screwed up and allowed Samuel Smith to escape. Now, the Smiths have gone back on their word and refused to let Big Skull take over Diva. Weâre in a bind just because of one wrong move!â he said furiously.
Scar added, âThe worst thing is that Big Skull and the several dozen men are now being held captive by Thomas Dunn. Nathan Cross has demanded a ransom of thirty million before he let them go.â
Jon Xander smiled coldly. âHeh! He must have a death wish to ask for money from me like that. He wonât get a single cent from me! Have Nathan Cross await my revenge!â
Scar smiled bitterly. âBoss, all of Channingâs underground world is under Thomas Dunnâs control, and Thomas Dunn takes orders from Nathan Cross. Iâm afraid it wonât be that easy to get rid of those two in such a short time.â
âIâll gather thousands of men from Arcvale. Weâll see if Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn can handle that!â Jon scoffed.
âItâd certainly be easy to have all of our men in Arcvale wipe the two men out, but donât forget that there seems to be a chief training his soldiers in Channing now,â Scar reminded him. âIf we cause too much of a ruckus and get that chiefâs attention, we might end up repeating the sad history with Novem Dragon and Gabriel Logan!â
Jon frowned as he heard the manâs words. âThatâs indeed a cause for concern.â
Scar continued, âMoreover, Big Skull and his henchmen have all been injured. Their spirits will be dampened if we donât save them in time, and you may have problems getting new men in the future.â
Jonâs eyes narrowed. âIs that all I can do? Give thirty million to Nathan Cross just like that? Where will I ever hide my shame?â
Scar said with his head raised, âI can take thirty million with me and meet Nathan Cross. You know my abilities best, Boss. Iâll kill that man as long as you let me approach him within a 3-meter radius!â
Jon was elated to hear that. âHah! So weâll aim straight for the king. Weâll destroy Nathan Cross, then take Thomas Dunn. With that, the throne of Channingâs underground world will be mine to claim. Scar, Iâll let you oversee all of Channingâs gray-area businesses if you kill Nathan Cross.â
âThank you, Boss!â said Scar with his eyes full of excitement.
