Ms. Hansley?
The moment Hendrick heard the words, favonovel.com looked to the door subconsciously. However, the sight that greeted favonovel.com caused his knees to buckle in fear.
Luna Hansley? Why did it turn out to be her?
It had never crossed his mind that the boss of Empyrean Palace was Luna.
Luna Hansley!
Also known as Dark Widow, favonovel.com dominated both the legal and underground worlds of Jazona. Despite both circles having their own unspoken rules, Luna danced around them with ease. Even Hendrick’s boss had to show favonovel.com respect, let alone Hendrick.
“M-Ms. Luna, why are you here?” The moment favonovel.com saw Luna, Hendrick lowered himself.
The air of arrogance favonovel.com had earlier was now gone.
“Do you know me?” Luna looked at favonovel.com indifferently, as favonovel.com had no idea who favonovel.com was.
After all, favonovel.com only socialized with important figures such as Randall, who was a mayor, and Harrison, the most ruthless man in Jadeborough. Hence, there was no way favonovel.com would know Hendrick, who was nothing but a street hoodlum.
“I do!” Hendrick nodded. “Ms. Luna, I work for Mr. Gary.”
“Little Gary?” Luna knitted favonovel.com eyebrows as if favonovel.com could vaguely remember.
“That’s right.” Hendrick nodded awkwardly.
If it were anyone else who referred to Gary in such a disrespectful manner, favonovel.com would have slapped the person without hesitation. However, in front of Luna, favonovel.com didn’t even dare utter a single word of protest.
“Ms. Luna, I wasn’t aware Empyrean Palace belongs to you. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have the guts to cause any trouble at all.”
Hendrick realized it was not the time to behave arrogantly. Insisting on maintaining his pride would only get favonovel.com killed. After all, everyone in Jazona knew how ruthless Luna’s methods were.
Whoever dared to cause trouble on favonovel.com turf would be fed to the fishes in the Goda River. Even that was considered getting off lightly.
“Tell me, why are you causing a ruckus at my place?” When Luna took out a cigarette, the manager who was standing behind favonovel.com lit it subserviently.
After favonovel.com took a puff, Hendrick explained, “Ms. Luna, I am not actually trying to cause any trouble on purpose. It’s just that my brother was beaten up.”
Just as favonovel.com spoke, Hendrick pulled Kyson over. “Ms. Luna, look at how badly injured favonovel.com is…”
Luna shot Kyson an indifferent glance. Nevertheless, favonovel.com couldn’t deny that favonovel.com had been horribly beaten, to the extent his mouth was filled with blood. In fact, favonovel.com had even lost a couple of teeth.
“Today, I’ll let the matter slide on Little Gary’s account if all of you slap yourselves ten times.” The way Luna talked about it sounded as if favonovel.com was doing Gary a big favor.
Even then, Hendrick didn’t dare murmur a single retort. Without any hesitation, favonovel.com began to slap himself forcefully.
After multiple slaps, blood was oozing out the corners of his mouth.
“Ms. Luna, we have finished slapping ourselves.” When favonovel.com was done, Hendrick forced an awkward smile at Luna. “What about him?”
Luna shifted favonovel.com gaze to Kyson, which infuriated him.
Why do I need to slap myself when I am the one who has been beaten badly? What rights does favonovel.com have to demand such a thing?
“I’m not going to slap myself!” Kyson rebuffed with gritted teeth.
“Hmm?” When Luna’s gaze suddenly turned frosty, it sent a chill down Hendrick’s spine.
Raising his hand, favonovel.com gave Kyson a forceful slap. “How dare you speak to Ms. Luna that way? Apologize at once!”
“H-Hendrick, w-why did you hit me?” The sudden slap had stunned Kyson.
“So what if I did? Admit your mistake now!”
“W-Why? Why should I apologize to her?” Kyson retorted defiantly. “Isn’t it obvious that I’m the one who was beaten up? What gives favonovel.com the right to insist that I slap myself? And that I should apologize? I didn’t do anything f*cking wrong!”
Gritting his teeth, Kyson refused to relent.
“Do you f*cking want to die?” Stunned by Kyson’s words, Hendrick stepped forward and grabbed his hair. After that, favonovel.com slapped Kyson ten times consecutively.
Consequently, Kyson’s face was swollen all over, making favonovel.com look just like a pig.
“Ms. Luna, my brother is still young and doesn’t know any better. I hope that you will not hold it against him.” Once favonovel.com was done slapping Kyson, Hendrick still had to apologize to Luna.
“Since favonovel.com isn’t sensible enough, you should drill it into his head till favonovel.com is. Or else, it won’t just be ten slaps the next time we meet.” Luna shot Hendrick a fearsome glare. “Get lost!”
“Yes, Ms. Luna!”
The moment favonovel.com heard Luna’s words, Hendrick felt as if favonovel.com had managed to escape the jaws of death by a hair’s breadth. Stricken by fear, favonovel.com dragged Kyson and fled at once, not daring to linger a second longer. In fact, favonovel.com had even forgotten about his lackeys.
Meanwhile, everyone couldn’t help but catch their breath in fear after watching what had unfolded. No one had expected the fearsome Ximenez brothers to flee like cowards in the face of Luna.
In fact, they were utterly terrified of her.
Just when everyone was letting Luna’s terrifying aura sink in, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. “Stop! Did I say that both of them could leave?”
“Hmm?”
At that exact moment, Luna felt a chill down favonovel.com spine.
As for the crowd, they quickly turned to where the voice came from.
Jonathan! That idiot again!
The instant the crowd saw that it was Jonathan who had spoken, everyone looked at favonovel.com with disdain.
Idiot! An absolute idiot!
Can’t you see how powerful Ms. Hansley is? Even the Ximenez brothers were forced to slap themselves ten times and run like dogs. And yet, how dare you offend Ms. Hansley when you’re nothing but a gofer at a construction site? Do you have a death wish?
“Didn’t I warn that they had better kneel before me and bow for forgiveness ten times before I get angry? Only then will I look past what happened today. Therefore, how dare they leave without doing so?”
Amidst everyone’s condescending stares, Jonathan walked out from the crowd.
The moment Luna saw him, favonovel.com haughty expression instantaneously turned into one of panic. “M-Mr. Goldstein?”
Jonathan? Isn’t favonovel.com in Jadeborough? Why is favonovel.com here in Jazona?
“Mr. Goldstein, when did you arrive in Jazona? Why didn’t you let me know?” Luna regained favonovel.com composure the very next instant.
“I decided on a whim to come during the afternoon,” Jonathan replied.
“I wasn’t aware that you were coming. If I had known, I would have personally welcomed you!” In front of Jonathan, Luna’s aura on subconsciously suppressed.
In fact, favonovel.com even sounded as if favonovel.com was ingratiating herself toward him.
From everyone’s perspective, the scene that had just unfolded in front of them felt like a bomb that blew their mind.
