Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Leo Hugh scoffed and took out his phone to give his brother Dan Hugh a call.

Soon, Dan Hugh picked up, and his intimidating voice boomed from the other end of the line, “Are you done?”

Leo Hugh lowered his voice and professed, “Not yet, bro.”

Dan Hugh was unhappy. “You can’t even settle such a small matter?”

Leo Hugh glanced at Nathan Cross before whispering, “Bro, there’s a guy from Cross Corporation who’s beating everyone up.”

“He knocked out thirty of my men and broke Dogbreath’s leg right in front of me despite my warnings. He even wants you to come and kowtow to him.”

Dan Hugh was angered. “He’s looking for trouble!”

It had been ages since anyone in Channing dared to cross paths with Dan Hugh, much less ask him to kowtow.

Nathan Cross was the first ever person who had dared to even try.

Leo Hugh glanced at the crowd from Cross Corporation and smirked, “My bro’s personally coming after you, since you’re so eager to die!”

Penny Smith and Bob Hoffman, as locals, knew exactly how the Nine Tattoo Dragon went about doing things.

When they heard that Dan Hugh was going to beat Nathan Cross up in person, genuine fear crept onto their faces.

Penny Smith whispered to Nathan Cross, “Dan Hugh is well-known in the Western District and the underground answers to his orders only. If he wants someone to disappear, they will evaporate from the face of the earth. If we anger him, we’re dead for sure!”

Nathan Cross was unfazed. “The Cross Corporation is in charge of the Asiatic Shopping Mall project. They’re the ones messing things up before the construction has even started.”

“If we don’t teach them a lesson now, they’re going to be a nuisance to us forever.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll settle this.”

Penny Smith was still worried, but she knew that Nathan Cross was on good terms with the underground boss of the Eastern District, Thomas Dunn.

However, Nathan Cross had bothered Thomas Dunn one too many times already.

Besides, the person whom they were dealing with this time was Dan Hugh, the underground boss of the Western District. He might have been stronger than Thomas Dunn in all ways possible, as he had been around for a longer time.

Penny Smith felt that Thomas Dunn would not be able to help them even if he were to appear at the scene.

After Leo Hugh made his call, the gangsters of the city came from all directions, be it in vans or on motorbikes. They crowded around the entrance of Asiatic City.

Within a couple of minutes, hundreds of gangsters had gathered at the scene, sporting rainbow-colored hair, intimidating tattoos and about a million types of weapons in their hands.

All of them were Dan Hugh’s men. Crowding around Leo Hugh, the men had all cried out, stirring up a ruckus.

Penny Smith’s face paled by the minute. She had called the police several times over the past few minutes, yet they were nowhere in sight.

Bob Hoffman and his army of construction workers were increasingly desperate. If not for the human barrier around them, they would have dispersed immediately.

The only person who was calm happened to be Nathan Cross.

Leo Hugh glared at Nathan Cross. “Why don’t you kowtow to me, before my brother arrives? Maybe I’ll spare your life, just maybe. Haha!”

Nathan Cross glanced around at the army of rowdy gangsters around Leo Hugh, while scoffing, “You think you can force me to bow before you with these good-for-nothings?”

Leo Hugh laughed, “Well, my good-for-nothings can kill you a million times over today.”
