Chapter 254 The Sanchez family Had Crossed the Line!
He continued, "You were looking for the Jones Group, weren't you? Actually, I'm your knight. If you have difficulties or troubles, I'll handle them for you."
William smiled and gently tapped Mary's delicate nose.
Mary chuckled and suddenly blinked, saying, "William, I feel like you're becoming more and more mysterious. When did you acquire such skills? It's terrifying."
William scratched the back of his head and said, "I learned a bit from someone at home before. It's nothing much, really."
"Really?" Mary asked, looking at William with burning eyes.
William gave an awkward smile.
Jasper and his men stood at the hotel entrance, bloodied and disheveled.
These were members of the Eclipse Mafia, one of the top five underground forces in the Southern District, but they had been beaten like this.
Even Alan would have to show some respect to the Eclipse Mafia if he were here today.
Jasper glared venomously at the hotel entrance and shouted through gritted teeth, "Gather our men! Tonight, I'm going to level this place! Especially that guy, I want to skin him alive myself!"
"Yes, Mr. Mitchell!" the subordinates replied in unison.
Hearing Jasper's words, they exchanged glances and then went to call for reinforcements.
At that moment, a black business car pulled up at the hotel entrance, and Joshua emerged.
"Mr. Mitchell, what happened to you? How did you get hurt like this?" Joshua asked.
He was shocked to see Jasper's arm covered in blood, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.
"Joshua, this is the great dinner you set up for me. I got stabbed!" Jasper shouted angrily at the approaching Joshua.
"What?" Joshua asked, gasping. He understood the weight of Jasper's words and scolded, "Who would dare to lay a hand on you? Do they have a death wish?!"
"Who else but that William you told me to deal with! Tonight, I'm going to kill him!" Jasper snapped.
Consumed by rage, he looked like a mad dog, his eyes bloodshot!
Several of his subordinates arrived with the Eclipse Mafia's men.
They brought a full thirty or forty people!
This was Jasper's power within the Eclipse Mafia!
He had specifically brought these people from the Southern District!
In Lindwood City, Jasper didn't dare to be too arrogant, so he only brought this many people.
If it were the Southern District, he would have brought at least a hundred or two hundred men!
Joshua stood by, a cold smile on his face. He thought maliciously, 'William, oh William, you brought this on yourself!'
As Jasper gathered his thirty or forty men at the hotel entrance, two figures slowly walked out from the doorway.
Mary had just stepped out and saw the crowd of tattooed, bare-chested men, a full thirty or forty of them.
William followed behind her. Seeing her frozen in place, he asked, "What's wrong?"
He peeked out and finally saw the crowd on the other side, a full thirty or forty people, all armed with weapons!
Jasper, standing at the entrance, looked disheveled, his hand simply bandaged, but his eyes were filled with malice and anger!
Aside from him, the men standing beside him had the same look, as if they wanted to devour someone!
Joshua stood at the back of the crowd and saw Mary and William coming out of the hotel.
He cracked a cold smile and quickly ran up to whisper in Jasper's ear, "Mr. Mitchell, go ahead and deal with that guy, but please spare the woman beside him. I'll give you a million dollars as compensation for her medical expenses."
Jasper didn't utter a word, just gave Joshua a cold glance and snorted.
Then he pointed to his blood-stained arm, his face dark, and said, "I've been in this business for over ten years, and nothing like this has ever happened. This is a blatant slap in the face to the Eclipse Mafia! It's a sign of disrespect! Even in Lindwood City, Alan has to show me some respect. This guy dared to touch me. I don't need you to tell me. I'm going to chop him up and throw him in the river to feed the fish! Otherwise, everyone will think they can show their fangs to the Eclipse Mafia!"
Jasper was asserting his authority.
William frowned deeply, feeling increasingly cold inside. Thirty or forty people, with over ten business cars, parked at the hotel entrance.
The Sanchez family from the Southern District had crossed the line.
William was very angry. A BK Pharmaceuticals deal and a billion-dollar investment had stirred up so many events.
William knew very well that this wouldn't have escalated like this without someone stirring the pot behind the scenes.
Thirty or forty people, each one a fierce thug, were either shirtless with tattoos or holding weapons like steel pipes and machetes!
In Lindwood City, open conflicts between factions hadn't occurred for many years, let alone such cross-city and cross-regional brawls.
Moreover, the backs of these people's clothes were all emblazoned with "Eclipse Mafia!"
Someone exclaimed, "Holy crap! That's the Eclipse Mafia from the Southern District. What are they doing in Lindwood City?"
Another chimed in, "Oh my God, what's happening? Eclipse Mafia? The one even more powerful than our local Alan?"
Many passersby recognized the origins of these people and quickly hid, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire.
A voice said, "What on earth is going on? Last time Xavier was taken out, and now the Eclipse Mafia is here?"
Many people were shocked by the scene, finding it quite exaggerated.
These were all Eclipse Mafia enforcers, a bunch of desperados, and they had all killed.
As Joshua saw Jasper with so many people, his cold smile grew even stronger, though it was fleeting.
Jasper, with his bandaged hand, clenched his fist!
He stared at William, who stood at the forefront, with a vicious look on his face, and said, "You all know what to do, right? Today, someone dared to challenge the Eclipse Mafia. According to our rules, chop that man up and throw him in the river to feed the fish! As for the woman, I have use for her. Capture her and bring her to me intact!"
Jasper was full of arrogance, not worried about any mistakes that might follow!
Even though William had shown remarkable skills in the private room earlier, so what?
In front of thirty or forty people, could he still turn the tables?
William didn't understand why so many people wanted to throw him in the river to feed the fish. Clearly, it was them provoking him repeatedly, yet in the end, it was all his fault.
He shook his head helplessly, pulled the petrified Mary aside, patted her shoulder, and said softly by her pink cheek, "Honey, go inside and hide for a bit. Come out later."
Mary was stunned, turned her head in shock to look at William, and grabbed him anxiously, saying, "What are you going to do? There are so many of them, all with knives. Going out there is suicide! I'll call the police right now, and we'll hide inside!"
Mary was scared, trembling all over, and held William tightly.
William shook his head, gave Mary a reassuring look, and said, "Don't worry. These people can't hurt me. Wait here. I'll come back for you."
Mary's eyes welled with tears; she trusted William deeply, as she had in the private room.
However, she was also very worried about William.
There were too many people on the other side.
She held William's hand tightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally reminded, "Be careful!"
All of this was seen by Joshua. He was furious as he watched the woman he wanted to conquer flirting with another man. His anger flared up!
'You bastards, let's see what you do later! Mary, tonight I'll make you kneel before me and beg for mercy!' Joshua thought viciously.
Jasper waved his hand and shouted, "Get him! Anyone who dares to obstruct the Eclipse Mafia today, beat them until they're crippled!"
At Jasper's command, the Eclipse Mafia thugs behind him charged at William like hungry wolves, shouting and screaming!
Jasper wasn't worried about causing any trouble. The relevant people would naturally be informed. As long as things didn't get too out of hand, money could solve anything!
Killing one or two people was no problem. They could just say it was a street fight and pin it on some beggar as a scapegoat!
Jasper had done this many times, and he was very experienced!
As for Alan from Lindwood City, Jasper didn't care at all. Even if Alan came, he would still kill William to make a statement!
Joshua, seeing Jasper with his bandaged hand, approached and said casually, "Anyone who dares to lay a hand on Mr. Mitchell must have a death wish! If it were me, I'd snap his neck to set an example!"
Jasper raised an eyebrow, turned his face, and said with some surprise and amusement, "What do you want to do?"
Joshua quickly smiled and said, "That guy William dared to touch you. That's outrageous! Could you do me a favor and let me handle him? I'll give you another million dollars!"
Someone wanted to see William, and Joshua had to bring him back.
Two million dollars!
It was a good deal!
Jasper was a black-market businessman, and he knew the value of a human life.
He smiled, patted Joshua on the shoulder, and said, "Since you asked, how could I refuse? It's a deal!"
Joshua nodded in agreement and thanked him profusely, then whispered in Jasper's ear, "Actually, I brought someone else tonight, just in case!"
