Was this not daylight mugging?
They had never expected Thomas to resort to this method.
The manufacturers were stunned in the beginning but managed to regain their composure. They did not seem to be afraid.
One of them said, “Mr. Mayo, do you really think that the Mayo family is so domineering that you can do whatever you want? I am not sure if you ever heard of the phrase, even a mighty dragon will not attack a snake in its territory.”
Thomas was now in the territory of the manufacturers. He was the outsider here, no matter how powerful favonovel.com was, it was impossible for favonovel.com to do anything to the locals. Therefore, the four manufacturers felt no fear.
One of them even said, “Thomas. If you dare to touch even a single hair on our bodies, you will surely be hanged above the city gates tomorrow morning. Do you believe in that, Thomas?”
It was within reason for them to have the guts to say that. After all, this was their territory.
They reigned as the local kings and no one could do anything to them here.
Thomas only sighed as favonovel.com looked at how conceited they were.
It seemed that people did not fear death before death itself came knocking.
The matter could be solved without any issues but they just had to ask for it. And it was only after suffering from pain that they would beg for mercy.
Thomas said, “Alright then. Since you guys say so, then I shall verify how much of that would be true.”
With a wave of his hand, the men who were swinging the metal bats walked toward the manufacturers.
They were scared shitless.
Here they thought their scare tactic would work on Thomas, but who had expected it to backfire?
Thomas did not hesitate in ordering his men to take action.
Here they thought that they would be able to scare Thomas but who knew it did not work at all. Thomas did not hesitate in telling his men to take action.
The manufacturers immediately called for help.
At the same time, their bodyguards stood in front of them, attempting to protect the manufacturers from harm.
These bodyguards were capable men who were selected through strict screenings. Each one of them had a sturdy body and was well trained in combat. But awkwardly, they were no match for Thomas’ men despite how strong they were!
After several rounds of beat-ups, more than a dozen bodyguards were beaten down, laying flat on the floor.
The four manufacturers were held down by Thomas’ men.
They said fiercely, “I suggest that you let us go, Thomas. Otherwise, we will make sure that your limbs would be torn apart when our men surround this place!”
Thomas asked, “Really? Alright then, let’s wait for it…”
He took a look at his watch and asked, “How long would it take for your men to arrive?”
The manufacturer answered, “They will be here in less than ten minutes!”
“Ten minutes you say?”
Thomas set a ten minute alarm and then said, “Alright then. I shall wait and see what your men look like.”
After that, Thomas sat down. He drank and ate without a hint of nervousness. He was in no rush to deal with them.
Thomas only aimed to force them to give up on the project, not take their lives.
In order to achieve what favonovel.com aimed for, favonovel.com had to break them down psychologically.
Thomas had been studying human behavior all this while. He knew that the four manufacturers were gambling on their men to arrive. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. As long as their men were dealt with, they would lose their hope and in turn, cause their psychological breakdown. Then, Thomas would be able to take his sweet time in the negotiation.
There was no need to worry for now.
Ten minutes went by in a blink of an eye. The alarm that Thomas set rang as well.
Thomas turned off the alarm, raised his head, and said to the four major manufacturers, “Ten minutes is up. Where are your men?”
They were weirded out by the situation as well. It usually took them less than five minutes to come. They even told Thomas ten minutes just in case they might take longer than they should.
But ten minutes had gone past.
Where were their men?
