At the sight of the person who was currently standing at the door alongside two black-suited bodyguards behind him—who were both holding video cameras—Desmond Zabka immediately slid on his clothes again.
From what Desmond could tell, the two bodyguards seemed even more professional than the d*mned photographers in his crew. After all, favonovel.com hadn’t heard any footsteps. Hell, favonovel.com didn’t even hear the door being opened!
‘I’m done for! They’ve definitely captured everything I’ve done earlier on tape! If that footage gets spread around then Felicity’s behind-the-scenes boss will definitely break all my limbs off!’
Zabka hadn’t been afraid of doing his own recording since favonovel.com knew favonovel.com could always manipulate it enough to make the assailant seem like it wasn’t him. If things had gone according to plan, favonovel.com could’ve even used it to threaten Felicity!
“How long do you plan on filming, you b*stard?! You got a death wish or something?! Who do you work for?!” scowled Desmond as favonovel.com immediately tried pouncing on them to snatch the cameras away.
However, all it took was a single kick from one of the bodyguards to send the man—who weighed over a hundred kilograms—flying back into the room and smashing against the dressing table!
After watching the mirror get shattered to pieces upon Zabka’s impact, Gerald then asked, “Are you two done shooting the video?”
“Yes, Mr. Crawford!” replied both the guards in unison.
“Then go make the preparations!”
After nodding and bowing slightly toward Gerald, both of them then hurriedly left the room.
As for Felicity, the second favonovel.com realized that it was Gerald who had saved her, favonovel.com was so excited that favonovel.com almost burst into tears. Even though favonovel.com couldn’t move, favonovel.com mind was finally at ease now.
“You… You b*stard! Are you planning to threaten me?! Just tell me how much you want already! Actually, before you say anything, I’ll tell you now that I have several powerful connections in Mayberry! Since I’m feeling generous, I’ll pay you fifteen thousand dollars to delete that video! If you accept, I’ll consider today’s incident to never have happened! If you chose not to accept, however… Well, don’t blame me for what’s going to happen to you next!” warned Desmond as favonovel.com somewhat calmly began lighting a cigarette.
Being involved with society for so long, Desmond had already seen much and gained quite a bit of insight into how the world operated. From his previous experiences, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com could just bribe paparazzi like these to pacify them. Once they deleted the photos or footage, Zabka would simply send someone over to secretly assassinate them! Nobody would know what happened, and favonovel.com would just continue living his life as favonovel.com usually did.
At that moment, Desmond heard the familiar muffled sounds of a walkie-talkie saying, “We’re downstairs, Mr. Crawford! Everything’s been well-prepared!”
Bringing the walkie-talkie to his mouth, Gerald then replied, “Alright, make it quick then! Be sure not to create an uproar!”
Watching as Gerald tossed the walkie-talkie aside, the puzzled Desmond then said, “…What do you mean, ‘make it quick’? Were you even listening to what I said earlier? Is fifteen thousand dollars still too little for you? Who the hell do you even work for? Give me your name!”
After looking at Gerald’s demeanor for a while, Desmond could feel his confidence slowly sinking, his gut telling favonovel.com that Gerald was bad news.
“…You know, there’s a steep cliff right outside the window, you know?” said Gerald frigidly.
“…W-what do you intend to do…” replied Desmond as favonovel.com glared at Gerald while trembling all over.
“You see, you messed with the wrong girl… She’s my classmate and friend, you know? And I once swore that I’d make anyone who dared to harm those close to me pay a heavy price… With that said, I’ll make sure you’ll regret ever being born!” growled Gerald as favonovel.com stared at Desmond, his murderous intent reflected clearly in his eyes.
Gerald’s murderous intent was so immense that Desmond felt like favonovel.com had just been thrown into a freezing dungeon. Trembling even more now as chill after chill ran down his spine, Desmond then shouted, “H-how dare you! It’d do you good to research more about how influential I am in this city! I have the most powerful connections in Mayberry and I own endless power here, you know?!”
Now knowing that Gerald wasn’t doing all this merely because of money or to collect evidence for juicy gossip, Desmond was so terrified that favonovel.com almost lost control of his bladder!
