Chapter 364
Dylan threatened, โYouโd better release him, or hundreds of my South City boys might pay Mr. Warrenโs house a visit.โ
Donald exploded with rage, โMr. Garner, are you threatening me?โ
Dylanโs face suddenly darkened, twisting with menace. He snarled, โThatโs exactly what Iโm doing. What are you going to do about it? You fat pig, others might fear you, but I donโt give a damn about your position.โ
He added, โIf anything happens to Mr. Lloyd, Iโll take you down even if it costs me my life. Am I clear?โ
The ferocity in Dylanโs voice made Donaldโs face pale as he struggled to maintain his composure.
Donald could not wrap his head around itโwho the hell was Andrew? Why were even the underground crime lords getting involved?
Moreover, Dylanโs stance seemed to show that he was ready to go to war over this.
Donald said through gritted teeth, โThink carefully about what youโre doing. Even if I release him now under pressure, what about later? Not everyone can get away with disrespecting me like this. Besides, Andrew is a criminal. Iโm justified both legally and personally.โ
Natasha cut in coldly, โI donโt care if heโs a criminal or not. I just need you to release him. And Mr. Warren, I have evidence of your visits to prostitutes. Donโt make me upload that to the internet.โ
Donald finally cracked, his voice ice-cold. โFine, you win by force of numbers. But remember, the tide always turns. Iโll get my payback eventually.โ
Francesca pointed at the security case on the desk. โThat case belongs to Andrew too, Mr. Warren. Please return it to its rightful owner.โ
Donaldโs face turned several shades of purple. He had never had to give up something once he had claimed it.
However, under the death glares from Dylan, Natasha, Lauren, and the Aickers, he had no choice.
โFine. I wonโt forget this day,โ Donald spat venomously.
Francesca grabbed the case as Donald called for his subordinate. โGo release him.โ
The subordinate wore an awkward expression. โMโMr. Warren, heโsโฆ already been released!โ
Donald froze, then exploded, โReleased? Who the hell authorized that?โ
This was beyond humiliating. Not only was he forced to release Andrew, but someone had already done it without his order.
โIโm going to find out which dead man walking dared to override my authority!โ Donald snarled with a twisted laugh, desperate to find someone to take his anger out on.
โI released him. So, Mr. Warren, am I your dead man walking?โ
A group of people strode into the office with an imposing presence.
Donaldโs temple throbbed with murderous rage. Did everyone think his office was a public coffee shop?
First the Aickers, then Lauren, followed by the crazy duo Dylan and Natasha, and now a fourth wave of visitors who clearly meant business.
As several officers respectfully led them in, Donald recognized the two people in front and felt his head spin. His blood ran cold as he realized who had arrivedโthe mayor of Jayrodale and the cityโs wealthiest businessman.
What the hell was going on?!
