Chapter 23 You Shouldn't Have Messed with Me
It was Alan Jordan! The Underground Emperor of Lindwood City! A man with immense power and influence.
If Leonard had been arrogant before, the moment he saw Alan step into the private room, he became worried, standing there with a darkened face.
"Alan, what do you mean by bringing so many people here?" Leonard's face was dark, and he was gnashing his teeth inwardly, quite displeased.
Could he really show aggression against Alan?
Clearly not!
Looking at Alan, who was completely ignoring Leonard's presence, not even deigning to glance at him, Leonard was so angry!
After all, he was one of the top five figures in Lindwood City's underground forces.
However, what happened next was enough to shock everyone in the private room!
Even Patricia, who had already roughly known William's identity, was still profoundly shaken by this scene.
Alan strode over to William, respectfully took off his gentleman's hat, bowed deeply, and said, "William, I'm sorry for my late arrival."
William was the Young Master of the George family.
Naturally, that made him Alan's Young Master.
William's expression was calm as he simply nodded and said, "You know what to do."
"Of course." Alan straightened up, his eyes coldly fixed on Leonard.
As for Leonard, at this moment, he was already in shock, unable to imagine that an Underground Emperor of Lindwood City would show such respect to William.
What the hell was going on?
Leonard was no fool and instantly guessed that this young man was no ordinary individual!
Now, Alan's face was icy as he stared at Leonard.
A powerful slap landed fiercely on Leonard's face!
Leonard stared at Alan in disbelief, his eyes venomous as he angrily said. "Alan! Are you forcing me to fight you?"
There was no boasting, only malice.
"Fight?" Alan chuckled coldly, then delivered a fierce kick to his chest, the sole of his white leather boot pressing down hard on Leonard's face.
"Do you dare to fight me?"
True to his reputation as the Underground Emperor of Lindwood City, he struck with dominance and ruthlessness!
Alan completely disregarded Leonard, reprimanding him as if he was correcting one of his own subordinates.
Alan looked down at Leonard and then coldly said. "Today, anyone who has offended William would be on my death list, and none shall escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of men that Alan had brought with him completely subdued all of Leonard's men on the floor.
Screams were heard everywhere!
Just then, a cold interrogation came from behind the beaded curtain.
Patrick, pressing a tissue against his bloody head, angrily pushed aside the curtain and roared. "Are you Alan Jordan? Do you mean to attack me as well?"
Patrick was extremely angry.
He had come to have a good time with women but ended up with his head split open.
Leonard, now on the ground, sneered coldly and said. "Mr. Jordan, don't say I don't warn you, Patrick is not someone you can afford to provoke. Even if you have some power in Lindwood City, you're still just a loser in his presence!"
'Patrick Rivera from Sunshine Bay City?'
Alan's brow furrowed slightly, his foot pressing down harder as he glanced at the man standing on the steps.
Sensing Alan's suspicion, Leonard immediately got up from the ground, ran to Patrick's side, straightened his back, adjusted his suit, and said with false bravado. "Alan, this is Patrick Rivera, the person in charge of the Sunshine Bay City Hospital branch in Lindwood City and the nephew of Professor Charles!"
The last sentence was said loudly, as if afraid no one would hear it.
Alan Jordan's eyes narrowed, and his gaze fell on Patrick Rivera, his arrogance diminished significantly.
He was the nephew of Professor Charles!
Seemingly noticing Alan's difficulty, William frowned slightly and asked coldly. "Is it hard to deal with?"
Alan moved beside William and whispered respectfully. "William, we probably can't touch Patrick Rivera."
Indeed, they couldn't.
Mainly because of his uncle, Charles, was an internationally renowned medical authority.
Many of Professor Charles's patients were prominent figures from home and abroad.
These influential people could shake an area's economy with just a word!
Among them were some big shots in domestic and foreign politics!
For example, the Provincial Governor of Stellaria Continent was a patient of Professor Charles.
Such power is immense, and no one dares to provoke him.
Of course, people respect this medical authority more than anything. Provoking this giant could trigger a magnitude seven earthquake!
After explaining, beads of cold sweat formed on Alan's forehead.
He gazed at Leonard and the glowering Patrick on the steps with a tumultuous mix of emotions, feeling a hint of panic.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, William in the crowd showed no sign of panic and simply stared coldly at Patrick, declaring, "There's no one in this world I can't deal with."
Alan's body trembled, his eyes blazing with a sharp light!
However, Patrick laughed in anger, his face darkening as he said. "Very well! You're quite arrogant, William. I refuse to believe that in this little Lindwood City, there's anyone can't handle!"
"Leonard, I want him crippled right now! And those two women, strip them bare. I want to do them right in front of him!"
Patrick's eyes gleamed with ferocity, completely disregarding William.
His uncle was Professor Charles, a medical giant who could make the entire Stellaria Continent tremble with a stomp of his foot!
A mere ordinary boy dared to talk big was simply courting death!
On the other side, Leonard sneered and shouted into the walkie-talkie. "Everyone get in here and take action!"
Instantly, dozens more tattooed men rushed in through the private room door, surrounding the place tightly.
"Take them down! Cripple them all!" Leonard commanded with a wave of his hand, his eyes gleaming with a sinister smile.
Alan was horrified. He had only brought a dozen people with him and pointed at Leonard as he roared. "Leonard Reed, I advise you not to make a mistake. Mr. Jones is definitely not someone you can provoke!"
"Is there anyone here I can't handle?" Patrick on the steps roared, his face crimson with rage and smeared with blood, terrifying to behold. "Get him! Beat him to death!"
"William!"
Alan knew the situation was perilous. He watched intently as several thugs wielding metal baseball bats charged at William and instantly engaged in a brawl with them!
True to his title as the Underground Emperor, Alan Jordan took down three or four thugs in a few moves!
On the other side, Leonard's expression turned cold, his eyes narrowing as he personally led a group of people to surround them.
Even if Alan was fierce, he was outnumbered and soon he would be taken down.
Leonard triumphantly stepped on Alan's back and laughed. "Alan, I don't expect you to be in this situation. From now on, I call the shots in Lindwood City!"
Alan glared at Leonard, saying. "Leonard, you can kill me, but you absolutely cannot touch William, or you will regret it!"
"Fuck, you’re still threatening me!" Leonard stomped down hard, his eyes fierce.
The private room was now deadly silent. Leonard's men had subdued Alan, Patricia, and the people he had brought with him.
The only one left standing was William, holding the unconscious Mary.
Patrick Rivera descended the steps, his eyes vicious, with a sinister smile. "Kid, weren't you arrogant just now? Come on, there’s a wine bottle, hit my head again!"
William was very calm, without a trace of fear on his face. He gently placed Mary on the sofa, sighed, and said. "Patrick, Leonard, you should never have provoked me."
Hearing these words, Patrick flew into a rage and pointed at William, shouting. "Leonard, cripple this brat for me, make him kneel before me."
Then he arrogantly sat on the sofa, a wicked smile on his face, smoking a cigar, while someone temporarily bandaged his head.
Leonard, holding a metal baseball bat, sneered as he approached William.
"Leonard, stop! William, you absolutely cannot hurt him!" Alan, pinned to the ground, screamed.
If something happened to William here, Alan would have to take his own life in apology.
Leonard just sneered and raised the baseball bat to smash it down on the knees of the upright William.
Suddenly, an incongruous ringtone sounded, causing everyone to hesitate.
Leonard glanced at Patrick, who was very arrogant, and coldly said. "Let him answer."
William's brow furrowed, he glanced at the incoming call on the phone, an unfamiliar number, and then he answered as if no one else was present. "Hello! Who is this?"
"William, good day, this is Charles. I have arrived in Lindwood City with a medical team. I wonder if you are available, could we meet now?" On the other end of the line, Charles's voice was full of respect and humility.
