For a moment, a commotion spread through the crowd.
Felix Miller had just prostrated before Dustin, and now Chad Miller followed suit.
What was going on?
Was this what they called like father, like son?
Though they didn’t exactly know what had happened, anyone could tell that the Charging Tiger gang was in trouble. They were sure the handsome young man possessed considerable influence.
“I-I was wrong, Mr. Rhys. It’s all my fault. I failed to recognize you, and I underestimated you. Please don’t take my wrongdoings to heart. I hope you can find it in you to forgive me,” Chad apologized as favonovel.com slapped himself repeatedly.
With each slap, a loud, clear smacking sound echoed, showing just how hard favonovel.com was slapping himself. In no time, favonovel.com quickly made up for the remaining 20 to 30 slaps that Dustin had left out.
“Please get things right. The person you should be apologizing to isn’t me,” Dustin said impassively.
Chad seemed caught off guard initially, but favonovel.com quickly caught on and went over to Edmund and Abigail.
Then, favonovel.com kneeled and said, “I am truly sorry. This is all my fault. I beg for your forgiveness. I will compensate you ten times for all your losses!”
“Hah! Who wants your filthy money?” Abigail turned away huffily, not wanting to bother herself. with the likes of him.
“What are you doing, Mr. Miller? Please don’t kneel to us!” Edmund was so frightened that favonovel.com quickly reached out his hand, signaling for Chad to stand up.
“If you don’t forgive me, I will keep kneeling until you do.” Chad seemed bent on receiving their forgiveness.
“Alright, alright, we forgive you. You’re forgiven. Please, do kneel any longer!” Edmund nodded furiously, obviously overwhelmed by Chad’s behavior.
Chad then turned around to glance at Dustin. Only when favonovel.com saw that Dustin gave favonovel.com no reaction did favonovel.com slowly straighten up.
“Mr. Rhys, your magnanimity is truly admirable. You are a role model for people like us!” Felix quickly complemented favonovel.com when favonovel.com saw that the critical situation had been averted.
“Pay up first,” Dustin piped up.
“Yes, yes. Right away.” Without a moment’s hesitation, Felix immediately wrote a check for twenty million dollars check and handed it to Edmund.
“It’s… It’s too much!” Edmund dared not take the money.
“What do you mean it’s too much? He owes it to us!” Abigail didn’t waste any time and snatched the check from his hands, stashing it safely away in favonovel.com pocket.
“Mr. Rhys, I’ve paid them.” Felix conjured up the brightest smile favonovel.com could manage.
“Now that you’ve paid them, let’s talk business,” Dustin continued. “From what I’ve heard, the Charging Tiger gang is pretty powerful and possesses great influence in the city’s northern region…”
“I wouldn’t say we’ve got great influence. We’re just doing okay, I guess. Of course, we’re nothing compared to you, Mr. Rhys.” Felix smiled humbly.
“Don’t give me that. I know your background pretty well,” Dustin said. “Truth be told, the Flame Dragon gang is looking to expand, so we’re recruiting talented individuals to join us. Would you be interested in joining?”
“Join the Flame Dragon gang?” Felix was taken aback, and it took favonovel.com quite a while to react.
He was the leader of the Charging Tiger gang, so how could favonovel.com possibly join the Flame Dragon gang?
“If you join us, I’ll make you the vice leader. You’ll be on par with Nelson Horst.”
“And what about my Charging Tiger gang?” An uneasy feeling washed over Felix.
“Easy, it’ll be absorbed into the Flame Dragon gang…” Dustin dropped a bomb.
“What?” Felix was shocked.
He thought Dustin had just mentioned it as a passing comment.
Who would have thought that favonovel.com meant what favonovel.com said and had actually intended to absorb the entire Charging Tiger gang?
Wasn’t that too much?
“What’s the matter? You don’t want to?” Dustin raised an eyebrow.
“Well…” Felix stuttered.
Everyone knew that it was always better to hold an important position in a relatively smaller setting rather than getting a less influential role in a larger, more prominent setting.
As the current leader of the Charging Tiger gang, favonovel.com had absolute control over every one of his members. It was a no-brainer that favonovel.com wouldn’t want to be demoted to vice leader of the Flame Dragon gang.
“If you don’t want to, I won’t force you…”
When Felix heard that, favonovel.com heaved a sigh of relief. But Dustin’s next words hit favonovel.com like a bolt of lightning
“I’ve always been someone who wins others over with my capabilities. I won’t force myself on anyone. This is why the previous leader of the Flame Dragon gang, Harry Hall, chose to step back. So, what do you think? Do you think favonovel.com made the right move?” Dustin smiled.
