Dahlia might have the backing of Regulus Nicholson, but the patriarch in
Glenstead was too far away from
Balerno to pose any threat.
"Oh, it shouldn't be a problem if she's nothing special." Nelson chuckled
. "She'd better not show up! If she ever does, I'll make it tough on her!
" It was simply ridiculous for a person who wasn't rich or powerful to de
mand
money from him.
"Lord Horst, I'll have to trouble you for this. When it's done, I'll send
you a gift." Hank bowed to Nelson.
"Haha! Not a problem. We're brothers. Take it easy." A wide smile appeare
d on Nelson's face. Based on his past experiences, the mention of a "gift
" would imply at least a million dollars in monetary reward.
"Lord Horst …" One of Nelson's men knocked on the door during the convers
ation. Nelson raised his brows unhappily. "What? Can't you see that I'm i
n a business meeting with my client?"
"A few visitors demanded to see you. They would like you to pay your debt
s," the man reported the situation.
"Oh, they sure act fast! Speak of the devil!" Nelson rubbed his chin.
Hank cracked a smile. "Lord Horst, I shall be the audience for your show.
"
"Open your eyes wide and see how I teach her a lesson!" With a slap on th
e table, Nelson rose and marched out of the room. At the same time, Hank
went to the window and watched the situation unfold from the gap
between the curtains.
Meanwhile, Dahlia was standing at the entrance to the Flame Dragon Proper
ties with Dustin to her left and
Julie to her right.
"Dahlia, should we call it off? Look at the men in there! They are scowli
ng and glaring at us. It's so terrifying!" Julie cowered behind them and
swallowed hard in fear. The Flame Dragon Gang was known for its
ruthlessness, and she was gravely concerned that the gang might sexually
assault her after she entered their
nest.
"We're already at the entrance. We can't give up
at the last minute, right?" Dahlia, however, was calm and
composed.
"Dahlia, the gang is violent! What if Julie stammered because, at that mo
ment, she saw Nelson emerging with a bunch of men in tow, ready
to fight. She was shaking at the sight of his contracted brows and his
deathlike stare.
"Who's the daredevil who asks me to pay up?" Nelson marched forward fearl
essly.
"It's me." Dahlia took a step forward and announced in a shrill voice, "L
ord Horst, it's only fair to pay your debts. It's time for you to pay the
70 million you owe to my company."
"Haha! You're quite bold!" Cackling, Nelson gestured at the men. "Someone
get me my saber!"
"Yes, Sir!" The men replied and immediately hauled out a brass ring saber
for him.
"Crap! We're done for!" Looking pale, Julie seemed ready to faint. Simila
rly, Dahlia was nervous about Nelson's
actions.
"Hmph! They overestimated themselves!" A gleeful smile spread on Hank's f
ace as he stared down from the
windows above.
"Nelson Horst, are you seriously going to slash people when you're in the
wrong for not paying your debts?" Dustin suddenly emerged from behind Da
hlia.
"Hmm?" When Nelson saw Dustin, he appeared to be struck by lightning and
dropped the brass ring saber
onto the ground. Realizing the gravity of their situation, he turned arou
nd
and slapped one of his men on the face as he yelled, "Why the fuck did yo
u even bring that saber to me? Quick! Get me a check!"
