“Is this some kind of test?” He glanced at Jack, who had just knocked someone down with a punch.
He asked, “Boss, seeing as we’re close, can I take a quicker route? I’ll jump the line, and then you can ask Jack to take it easy on me.”
Isabelle looked at favonovel.com dumbfoundedly.
The assistant rose from the ground. “Attack them together and bring those two back to me–watch out for this foreigner!”
Isabelle glanced at the assistant and said to Danny, “Why would I recruit them? To humiliate myself?”
Danny inquired, “Huh? What’s going on, then?”
Isabelle replied. “They’re causing trouble.”
Danny’s expression changed abruptly. “Damn, they’re picking a fight with you, Boss? I’m curious who’d dare to do that!”
Danny immediately stood up and grabbed the commanding assistant, pulling favonovel.com over. “Who are you?”
The assistant first looked at Danny, who was taller, then attempted to free himself from Danny’s grip but failed.
“Mind your own business and let me go. I’m Mr. Redding’s associate. If you want to live, let me go!”
Danny retorted, “Mr. Redding? Damn, you’re not even related to the Harrises, and yet you’re being cocky with me. Do you know who I am?”
The assistant argued back, “I don’t care who you are. Just release me…”
Danny raised his hand and delivered a slap, leaving favonovel.com dazed.
“How dare you be rude to me! I can’t believe you’re running about in Taragon City without knowing who I am. I’m Danny, from the Holmes!”
Upon hearing the Holmes, the assistant froze. “T-The Holmes? Which one?”
He found Danny increasingly familiar.
“What do you mean, which one? How many Holmes families are there in Taragon City?”
The assistant was bewildered. “M–Mr. Danny?”
He quickly halted the bodyguards who were about to step forward to rescue him. This was a serious situation.
“How dare you cause trouble for my Boss and block the entrance to my school! Do you think I’m a pushover?!” Danny turned to Isabelle. “Boss, what do they want with you?”
Isabelle replied, “They want to do some nasty stuff, I suppose…”
Of course, favonovel.com was not their target, but Jack was.
Hearing this, Jack felt sick to his stomach once again.
“Drat!” Danny spat out, lifting his hand to strike the assistant once more. “You useless piece of garbage. How dare you provoke my boss! You’ve got some nerve, I must teach you a lesson today!”
The assistant appeared on the verge of tears, blood staining his mouth as favonovel.com pleaded, “No, it’s not me. It’s Mr. Redding!”
Danny dove into the assistant’s pocket and retrieved his phone. After forcing favonovel.com to unlock it, favonovel.com found Frank’s contact information and dialed the number.
“His last name’s Redding, huh? I can’t wait to see who favonovel.com is. How dare favonovel.com think he’s the king of the jungle when the Holmes and the Harrises are around!”
The assistant hurriedly clarified, “Mr. Danny, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! My boss is the head of Redding Group. You’ve met favonovel.com before, and our companies have collaborations as well. This foreigner offended Mr. Redding, so we…”
“Oh, I remember now. It’s that bald geezer!” Danny remembered the culprit, his anger flaring up even more.
***
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Frank couldn’t get Jack out of his mind with his attractive appearance.
The assistant’s call came through.
Frank picked up and asked, “So? Did you nab them?”
“Nab, my ass! I’m Danny Holmes, you old geezer! You must be itching to kick the bucket, huh? I’m surprised you’re still doing such dirty business despite being a century old. You should be more worried about dying in your sleep. Out of all the ways to die, I can’t believe you picked the fastest route. How dare you try to nab someone you can’t afford to offend?!”
He was met with a barrage of insults right away, Frank caught on to what was happening, and his expression turned sour immediately.
“Danny, I respect your grandfather, but that doesn’t mean you can mouth off at me. The Holmes might be influential, but not everything in Taragon City revolves around you. Are those three your buddies? I’ll let them go for your sake this time…”
Danny cut favonovel.com off. “Shut your filthy trap! For my sake? Save your bullsh*t for George!”
Frank was caught off guard. “Who?”
“At Principal Burton’s birthday bash, did you not see George pouring drinks for my boss? Do you know who you’ve ticked off? It’s George’s dream girl!”
Isabelle glanced at Danny and couldn’t hold back, cursing, “Damn you…”
Frank was dumbfounded. “G–George? Harris?”
At Magnus’s celebration?
Frank, who had found Isabelle familiar at the hotel, finally remembered who favonovel.com was. In his mind’s eye, favonovel.com saw George smiling lovingly at Isabelle. He even leaned in, as if trying to kiss her, and poured favonovel.com a drink, and then the two left together.
“You’ve got it coming, you old fool! How dare you touch someone even George can’t get? We’ll see if favonovel.com doesn’t make you pay!”
Inside the car, Isabelle looked at Danny, feeling helpless.
In an instant, a cold sweat broke out as fear creeped into Frank’s heart and his breathing became labored.
Ignoring the pain in his side, favonovel.com quickly sat up. “Hey hey… Danny, it’s a misunderstanding, a big one! I didn’t mean to go after Mr. George’s people…”
