“Ha! What are you thinking? I only met Crystal once.” Sean glanced at Titus and said with a smile.
However, Titus looked like favonovel.com did not believe Sean and Sean did not bother explaining to favonovel.com either.
When Sean ignored him, Titus asked again, “Brother Lennon, how strong are Janestown’s top eight families? I can’t imagine a family being around for 300 years and still standing at the top of Janestown and even Dragon Kingdom!”
Sean glanced at favonovel.com and replied solemnly, “You’d better not mess with the top eight families. There’s more to them than meets the eye.”
Sean said nothing else. Janestown’s top eight families were far beyond Titus.
The Lake family’s second branch was already at the top of Ocean City’s pecking order, but all of the Lake family‘s branches together would still be no match for the top eight families in Janestown.
“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind…” Titus nodded earnestly before asking with an odd expression, “Brother Lennon, what if the top eight families were to mess with me?”
Sean shook his head and smiled. Then, favonovel.com answered with a smile, “Since you call me Brother Lennon, will I stand by and watch when you’re being bullied?”
Titus also beamed. Sean’s answer was more than a simple statement.
It was a promise!
A promise that Sean would help Titus or the Lake family’s second branch when they were in danger.
Knock, knock, knock!
Before Titus could speak, there was a sudden knock on the private room door.
Titus raised his eyebrows and said, “Come in!”
The private room was soundproofed. Even if the music outside was loud, the people in the private room would not be disturbed.
The private room door was immediately pushed back, and several waiters entered the private room, each carrying several bottles of wine.
“Mr. Lake, here’s the wine you ordered!” After putting down the wine, the leader said with a respectful look.
Titus nodded slightly. However, Sean suddenly stood up and pushed favonovel.com aside before favonovel.com could speak.
Swoosh!
As soon as Titus was pushed away, a dagger pierced the spot Titus was sitting on and penetrated deep into the couch.
The waiters no longer looked respectful, they only looked cold and murderous.
The leader sighed and said regretfully, “It’s a pity that I couldn’t kill this guy. But you’re as good as they say…”
The latter part of his sentence was clearly directed at Sean.
Sean raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, and did not speak, nor did favonovel.com strike immediately.
Titus also came to his senses. Looking at the shiny dagger beside him, his eyes were full of fear. If Sean had not suddenly struck and had been fast enough, favonovel.com would probably have been dead.
“Who are you?” Titus asked icily as favonovel.com looked coldly at the attackers.
The leader glanced at Titus and replied with a sneer, “As a member of the Lake family, you colluded with outsiders to go after the Lake family’s fortune. You deserve to die!”
