Chapter 28

His whole body was trembling as his gaze darted around.

Upon seeing Philip, he crawled over on his knees and prostrated as he begged, “Ph… Philip, Brother

Philip! Seeing as I’m a colleague of Deputy Manager Johnston, please forgive me this time. I won’t ever

do it again.”

Philip’s eyes were cold with underlying fury. “I do not wish to see him in Riverdale City ever again.”

“Yes, Mr. Clarke!” Theo was a man of the underground world, so he could easily understand the

meaning behind Philip’s words.

With just an eye signal, two men grabbed Gavin who was wailing and howling for forgiveness and

dragged him to another room. Gavin was so frightened that he wet and soiled himself on the spot,

leaving a foul smell in his wake.

“It’s your turn, Jeffrey Scott,” said Philip.

Jeffrey hung his head and forced a smile. “Mr. Clarke, since my uncle is Henry Turner and you’re

acquainted with him, let’s not create any bad blood. Let me go this time and I will never again step foot

into Riverdale City.” Jeffrey had already thought it through. No matter how powerful Mr. Clarke was, he

was probably only just a little bit more capable. If Mr. Clarke really did anything to him, his uncle would

definitely not let this man off. Hence, he grew a little more confident.

“Don’t create bad blood?” Upon hearing this, Philip laughed. “Do you know who that woman you were

trying to lay a hand on is?”

Jeffrey genuinely had no idea. “It’s just a woman. Does Mr. Clarke really want to turn this into a life and

death struggle?”

“A life and death struggle?” Philip’s expression hardened almost immediately as his gaze turned cold.

“Wynn Johnston is my wife!”

Thump! Jeffrey shuddered. He knew in an instant that things have gotten serious! He had ended up

toying someone else’s wife! Sh*t!

“Uhm, Mr. Clarke, it was just an almost. I’ll compensate five hundred thousand as an apology, please

take it as a mental compensation for yourselves.” Jeffrey was feeling anxious inside but he maintained

a confidant front. To Jeffrey, five hundred thousand was quite a lot.

“Are you discussing money with me?” Philip said chillingly. “Theo, give him three million.”

Theo did not hesitate. He took one man along with him to personally withdraw the cash. The whole

process took less than five minutes as three silver briefcases appeared on the coffee table, opened to

show that it was all filled with red notes! There were three whole million in here!

Cold sweat started to form on Jeffrey’s forehead. The corner of his mouth twitched. “Mr. Clarke, what

do you mean by this?”

“I’m buying your third leg!” Philip’s voice was cold.

Right after he spoke, Theo’s men pressed Jeffrey to the ground with his back on the floor, and stripped

him, leaving only his underwear on.

Jeffrey was frightened and in fear.

“Mr. Clarke, my uncle is Henry Turner. You can’t do this!” Jeffrey yelled as he struggled, but it was

futile. “If you lay a hand on me, my uncle definitely won’t let you off!”

Philip said nothing but closed his eyes.

Theo raised the metal bat in his hand and smashed it down on Jeffrey.

“Ah!!” A soul-shuddering scream resonated throughout the whole room. Jeffrey’s face had turned

purple as huge drops of sweat fell from his forehead. His back was arched, unable to speak a word,

and could only hum.

At the same time, five Audi A8 Ls stopped in front of Celestial Club. Henry got out of the car frantically

with the mayor of Riverdale City behind him. Keagan Sanders was drenched in sweat as he brought

along his secretary to chase after Henry. “Professor Henry, please slow down.”

The moment Keagan received word of the medical magnate, Henry’s arrival in Riverdale City, he had

personally rushed over to the airport to receive the professor. For this prominent figure to visit Riverdale

City was a great honor, and Keagan intended to receive him with the greatest hospitality!

However, the moment he received him, Henry had chosen to rush over to Celestial Club. Keagan was

confused. Just who was it that Henry had to go over to see personally and could make him this

anxious.

At the entrance of Celestial Club was a group of hitmen in black suits solemnly standing guard. They

immediately stopped Henry. “I’m sorry, but this place is currently closed off.”

Henry frowned. He was about to say something when Keagan rushed over and bellowed, “Who dares

to stand in the way?!”

Upon seeing the newcomer, the hitman started shivering in fear. “Ma… Mayor Sanders…”

Oh God! Why was Mayor Sanders here? Who was this old thing that Mayor Sanders had to escort

personally?

In an instant, the hitmen gave way to them and bowed as they let Henry, Keagan, and the rest of their

group in.

When Keagan saw that the premise was filled with people, a fire started to burn within him! It seemed

like he had to hasten to rid the city of evildoers!

The door of the VIP room was pushed open. Henry rushed in to immediately see Jeffrey letting out

blood-curdling screams on the floor. However, he ignored his nephew and rushed over to Philip, bowing

slightly as he greeted, “Mr. Clarke, my apologies for being late.”

Keagan, who had been following closely behind, felt like his whole being had just been struck by

lightning. He was shocked when he saw this scene.

Pro… Professor Henry is bowing and apologizing to a young man!
