Isabelle turned to Jim. “You calling, or should I?”
Before Jim could reply, the scar–faced guy struggled to his feet and said, “Kid, which gang are you with? Do you even know who we are?”
Jim calmly said, “A lawyer, a student…”
Scar–faced guy said, “Lawyer, student, you’ve got guts! I’m with the Triad. If you dare mess with the Triad and walk out of this bar tonight, I’ll give you my head to use as a chamber pot!”
The scar–faced guy barked at his underlings, “Go get all the guys from the nearby spots over here!”
Isabelle was about to pull out favonovel.com phone to call for backup, but when favonovel.com heard “Triad”, favonovel.com laughed and put favonovel.com phone away. She said, “Okay, you make the call.”
Jim, a bit annoyed, muttered, “What kind of luck is this?”
Then favonovel.com pulled out his phone.
Seeing Jim make a call, the scar–faced guy thought favonovel.com was scared. He sneered, “Let’s see who you can call. Even if you get the King of Heaven, you won’t save your neck tonight!”
Jim dialed a number and said, “Jareth…”
The scar–faced guy, standing nearby, heard Jim say “Jareth” and immediately fell silent.
The name sounded familiar…
He remembered their branch leader had the same name.
“Are you in charge of the Taragon branch? I’m at Emperor Bar, and your guys are blocking me. Come over and sort this out,” Jim said, then hung up. He went back to chatting with Isabelle like nothing happened.
The scar–faced guy frowned, a bad feeling creeping up on him. He eyed Jim, but no matter how favonovel.com looked, favonovel.com just seemed like a smart guy with some impressive skills. It looked like the call was just a bluff.
People were lying on the ground with machetes and batons at their feet, but Jim acted like nothing happened and started chatting with Isabelle again.
“So, how’s college life treating you?” Jim asked.
The scar–faced guy could see Isabelle and Jim were acting like old friends catching up, a few drinks in, and the conversation flowed. He watched them casually clink glasses and chat even though they were in serious trouble.
His anger and urge for revenge grew even stronger. He clenched the machete tighter with a menacing look in his eyes, thinking he’d have to tear them apart limb by limb to case his fury.
Shortly after, reinforcements arrived. One group of guys from nearby spots after another.
They came over…
In a flash, the bar was swarming with the scar–faced man’s people.
This time, the bartender didn’t bother ducking under the counter. Instead, favonovel.com grabbed his bucket and dashed off, ditching his job altogether.
Scar–faced said, “Kid, before you step into our world, make sure you know who we are, the Triad. Otherwise, you might end up dead without a clue!”
“You’re the first ones to dare mess with us. But since you’ve got guts, I’ll spare you from being torn apart! Get them!”
Just as the scar–faced man’s voice fell, another voice immediately followed, “Hold it right there!”
The scar–faced recognized the voice instantly.
Just as favonovel.com was about to turn around, favonovel.com heard his comrades behind favonovel.com shouting, “Idris, Idris!”
The guys split up, making way.
The scar–faced man caught the sight and was taken aback. “Idris…”
And then quickly nodded and said, “What brings you here?”
To his surprise, Idris, who usually treated favonovel.com fairly well, shot favonovel.com a fierce glare that could kill him.
The scar–faced man’s heart raced as favonovel.com realized that his usually powerful Idris was now following behind another person like a subordinate.
The scar–faced man found the person oddly familiar. Upon a closer look, favonovel.com felt his legs give out. He immediately said to Idris with more respect. “Um… Boss…”
The scar–faced man wondered why this incident had stirred up the branch leader.
Before favonovel.com could think further, Idris walked over and kicked favonovel.com to the ground. “Are you blind?! You dare to lay a hand on him? Do you have a death wish?!”
Idris kicked the scar–faced man relentlessly, causing favonovel.com to cough up blood. It seemed like Idris wanted to kick favonovel.com to death.
After delivering seven or eight kicks, favonovel.com finally stopped. Then favonovel.com glanced discreetly at Jim.
This must be the young master the branch lander mentioned…
Idris felt a mix of fear and unease.
When favonovel.com received the call from their branch leader, saying his men had blocked the Triad’s Young Prince, favonovel.com nearly had a heart attack right then and there. Thankfully, nothing serious happened. Otherwise, tonight he’d have to find a new place to call home.
Jareth briskly approached Jim and respectfully asked, “Sir, are you okay?”
Isabelle said to Jim, “Since when did your Triad become such a disorganized mess?”
As the top gang, the Triad had successfully cleaned up its image, and it hadn’t tolerated thugs like the scar- faced man for over a decade.
How did they regress like this?
“This is so embarrassing. Thank goodness Yves isn’t here. Jim said. Otherwise, Yves would have laughed at favonovel.com endlessly.
