Sayon, Woods Family!
At this moment, Antonio Woods, as the head of the Woods family, was tremblingly kneeling in the hall, his face full of ingratiating expressions, as if he was trying to please someone.
“Mr… Mr. Duke, is there some misunderstanding? Did I, Antonio, offend you somehow? Is that why you have taken the trouble to come here in person? With a word from you, I will definitely come to your door to apologize.”
He was careful in his courtesy, and the cold sweat on his forehead had nearly soaked his pajamas.
Half an hour ago, he had just finished taking a bath and was about to lay down when Amanda had led a group of more than a hundred people and dismantled the front door of the Woods family’s house.
Moreover, they directly brought him, who had just prepared to lay down, to the hall.
At first, he thought his house had been burglarized, but when he looked up, he was shocked to find that it was Amanda, the head of Southern Nan Xiaodu, one of the two major underground forces in Sayon!
At this moment, Antonio Woods realized that he had probably offended Amanda, which led to this situation.
First, his venue was smashed, and now Amanda had come to his doorstep.
It seemed that the problem he had caused was not insignificant.
Thinking about this, Antonio Woods felt increasingly uneasy. He was scratching his head, trying to think of where he could have offended Amanda.
Upon hearing this, Amanda gave a cold laugh, “If you offended me, maybe you could solve it with money, but unfortunately, the person you offended is someone even I don’t dare to provoke.”
Someone that Amanda doesn’t even dare to provoke?
Upon hearing this, Antonio Woods felt his heart drop, and his sweat flowed like rain, non-stop.
“Misunderstanding… misunderstanding, Mr. Duke, I really don’t know…” Antonio Woods pleaded desperately, quickly trying to defend himself, but Amanda just didn’t want to waste words with him.
Amanda’s face turned cold as she frostily said, “Don’t bother explaining to me. Tomorrow, bring your people and apologize to the Jones Family. Can you do that?”
“The…the Jones Family?”
Antonio Woods was taken aback and was a little slow to react. How was the Jones Family related to Amanda?
“What, is it difficult for you?” Amanda’s face darkened as she indifferently responded.
Antonio Woods shivered all over and quickly nodded like mashing garlic in response, “No… not difficult, I will take my people to the Jones Family tomorrow and apologize, I will give you a satisfactory answer.”
Amanda just nodded her head and was ready to leave with her people, but just at that moment, Finn Woods, with his plastered arm, walked in tremblingly.
Outside, he had already seen a lot of people, and all of them were Amanda’s men.
The moment he entered the house, he saw Amanda herself standing in their living room.
For a moment, Finn was taken aback, but when he saw his father, who was all smiles and respectfully sending Amanda off, his heart finally settled down.
Truly, his father had thought ahead, directly inviting Amanda over. This time, that kid White Mitchell would certainly be in great trouble!
Thinking about this, Finn hurriedly walked over to Antonio Woods and angrily said, “Dad, look, today I went to the Jones Family to collect money, but then that bastard White Mitchell, of the Woods family, beat me up!
Dad, you have to get back at him for me. That White Mitchell, he has no respect for anyone. He not only took away my girlfriend last night, but he also beat up people today!
More than that, he even said that even if the Cooper family showed up, he would still beat them up. Can you believe that? It’s too damn infuriating!!” Hisss!
On hearing this, Antonio Woods instantly took a gulp of cold air, his face turned fear-stricken.
Damn it, why did you have to bring this up!
Antonio Woods abruptly tried to stop Finn Woods, but at that moment, Finn, in a fit of passion, quickly ran to Amanda’s side.
“Mr. Duke, look, look! Look how they have beaten me. This time, you must let your men teach them a harsh lesson.
It would be best if they break both his hands, otherwise, I won’t be able to swallow this anger!” Finn grumbled, his face contorted in a grimace of determination and fury.
“You rude boy, shut up!”
Just as Finn was gloating, Antonio immediately pulled him back.
“Dad, what are you doing? I’m talking to Mr. Duke. Are you just going to let that bastard from the Jones Family continue to swagger?” Finn stubbornly retorted.
Antonio instantly slapped him, making Finn stagger as he spun around.
Then, Antonio, in sincere alarm and trepidation, moved to Amanda’s side and said in a quivering voice: “Mr… Mr. Duke, my son misspoke in the heat of the moment. Please, Mr. Duke…”
While Antonio was apologizing, Amanda slowly turned her face to him with an expression cold as frost.
wow!
Seeing Amanda’s expression, Antonio’s heart sank to the bottom.
He was in trouble. He had just promised Amanda to apologize, but his own son was causing her grief.
Isn’t this like running headfirst towards danger?
While Antonio sat in restless dismay, Amanda, her face icy as frost, indifferently said, “Correct, your son made an excellent point, let’s break both hands.”
Huh?
Antonio displayed a baffled expression, had he misunderstood something?
“Dad, see, I told you I spoke…” Finn started to brag with apparent delight, displaying an obnoxious demeanor, yet his words and his smug expression ceased abruptly.
“Wh…what? What is this…?”
Finn suddenly saw two of Amanda’s men approaching with stern faces. This scared him so badly, he began to stutter.
While Finn was trembling with fear, two ruthless men held him down and grabbed his hand which wasn’t already in a cast.
Crack!
The sound of a bone breaking resonated, followed by Finn’s screams of agony.
Suddenly, the whole of the Woods household echoed with the squeals from Finn that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.
Antonio stood to the side, bitterness written all over his face, unable to say a word or react.
“Remember the words I just spoke. If by tomorrow you haven’t shown up, be ready for your bodies to be found in the River Arch.” Amanda’s voice was as chilly as millennia-old ice, piercing to the bone.
Antonio shuddered, fearfully kneeling on the ground without daring to lift his head.
It was a good half an hour before Antonio slowly raised his head. By this time, Amanda and her people had already left.
Antonio pulled himself up off the ground, turned around, and directed his anger towards Finn, slapping him over and over: “You wastrel! I told you, beautiful women bring trouble, but you didn’t listen! When I asked you to marry…told you to get married….”
The next day, at the break of dawn, a figure frantically ran into the Jones’s residence, “This is bad, very bad. The Woods Family called upon many people from the streets last night, they’ll likely come to cause trouble for us today!”
What!?
Old Madam Jones was so scared when she heard the news, she couldn’t even eat her breakfast.. She indignantly exclaimed, “Quick, get on the phone and tell Sherry to bring that rascal back immediately! Remember, right now! If they think we at the Jones Family are going to cover for him, they can think again!!!”
