Chapter 456 Invincible!
Thelonious was bewildered, his brow furrowed, and a look of confusion flashed across his face.
That Jones family?
Impossible!
He had investigated William, a nobody!
How could he be related to that family?
It must be fake!
"William, are you trying to scare me? I am Thelonious!"
Thelonious shouted.
In response, Scarlett slapped him directly!
In an instant, the entire room echoed with a crisp slap.
Thelonious was completely stunned, staring blankly at Scarlett, his eyes filled with anger!
"This is too much! How dare you hit me? Ms. Ashford, even though you are the daughter of the Ashford family, this is my private residence. By doing this, you are completely disregarding the Gonzales family. I will report this to Emrys!"
Thelonious's face was filled with anger.
Being slapped by a junior was too humiliating!
"You can try."
Scarlett replied coldly, not taking Thelonious seriously at all.
"I think the Gonzales family might not need to exist anymore."
At this moment, William, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly spoke coldly, a smile playing on his lips.
That smile sent chills down the spine!
"I agree. If you want to deal with them, I can help you."
Scarlett beamed at William, seemingly with a hint of flattery.
Thelonious said coldly, "What arrogance! Although the Ashford family is powerful and influential, if our Gonzales family doesn't let this go, I think the Ashford family will also suffer. Ms. Ashford, you better think twice."
Thelonious had no choice. It was the first time he had been cornered like this in his own territory.
He didn't want to provoke a giant like the Ashford family, but he had no choice.
Earlier, Zander, who was standing at the door, was already scared out of his wits.
He had never seen such a scene before. The daughter of the Ashford family had come, just for William?
The key point was that Thelonious was being pinned against the wall with a gun to his head. This was unprecedented!
These Ashford family people were too domineering!
Could they really dare to kill Thelonious of the Gonzales family here?
Weren't they afraid of being hunted down by the entire Gonzales family?
This was no longer a personal issue for Thelonious; it had escalated to a conflict between the Gonzales family and the Ashford family!
Zander's heart couldn't take it. This was simply too absurd!
One William could potentially stir up a battle between two families in Imperial City!
Zander was panicking because he understood that the Gonzales family was no match for the Ashford family!
The Ashford family was the real giant!
Thinking of this, Zander looked at William, who was sitting calmly. It seemed that all of this was because of him, yet he sat there nonchalantly, as if watching a show.
He really had a big heart.
At this moment, Santino frowned, his gaze sweeping over Yosef and the others before finally landing on Scarlett.
He hadn't expected the other party to be so forceful, and from Thelonious's words, she was actually the daughter of the Ashford family in Imperial City!
Santino was no ordinary person; he had many hidden connections, so he knew a lot of things.
Especially about a giant like the Ashford family, he had heard of them long ago. They were a colossal presence!
But such a presence was now willing to stand up for William, even at the risk of breaking ties with the Gonzales family, almost to the point of drawing guns and causing fatalities!
Santino's heart was already filled with doubt and even a bit of regret!
Santino suddenly thought of all the things that had happened before. Someone who could know Alan, and even someone Savannah had to treat cautiously, how could his background be ordinary!
Now, the daughter of the Ashford family had come to support William, even having a top bodyguard draw a gun on Thelonious. What did all this indicate?
The answer was too simple and too terrifying!
Looking at William's young and innocent face, Santino suddenly felt his heart clench violently!
This William was definitely not an ordinary person; all previous investigations had gone wrong!
William must be from a prominent family in Imperial City, possessing an unimaginable identity!
Jeffery had really screwed him over!
No wonder Savannah repeatedly emphasized not to act rashly!
Santino felt a bit dizzy. Everything had been under control, but in the end, it was overturned!
"Thelonious, I hope you think carefully and don't do something you'll regret!"
Scarlett's eyes were icy, and her tone was equally cold, sending a shiver down one's spine.
"Ms. Ashford, this is the Gonzales family's territory. Your aggressive behavior is unreasonable!"
Thelonious's brow furrowed into a line. He didn't want to break ties with Scarlett unless absolutely necessary.
Then, he continued bitterly, "Regarding William, the Gonzales family still needs to investigate thoroughly. If you want to take him away just like that, you need to get the Gonzales family's approval first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Gonzales family members rushed out, surrounding the place!
They were all elites of the Gonzales family, martial arts prodigies.
Their appearance made the atmosphere extremely tense.
Scarlett glanced at the martial arts disciples of the Gonzales family standing outside the door, a disdainful smile playing on her lips. "Tie him up."
As soon as she spoke, Thelonious's eyes widened. Before he could understand what was happening, he felt the cold muzzle of a gun!
The icy sensation sent a shiver down his spine, and combined with Yosef's cold gaze, it made Thelonious feel like his blood had frozen!
Too arrogant, too reckless!
They were completely disregarding the Gonzales family!
Yosef apologized, "Mr. Gonzales, I'm sorry. Although you are from the Gonzales family, in this matter, believe me, no one dares to go against Ms. Ashford's wishes. I hope you make a wise decision because this matter is not as simple as you think."
The gun was pressed firmly against Thelonious's forehead, making him both shocked and scared!
"If you have the guts, shoot me! I don't believe it. You Ashford family people dare to be so disrespectful to the Gonzales family! If I don't die, I will go back and report you!"
Thelonious roared angrily, his eyes bloodshot, looking righteous and indignant.
William sighed. Seeing the scene unfold, he already knew what would happen next.
He couldn't understand why such a big family like the Gonzales family had so many idiots.
Yosef, with the gun still pressed against Thelonious's head, said, "Mr. Gonzales, you might be thinking that if we really did that, we would also be punished and sent to a military court. But you're wrong; this is far more complicated than you think."
Yosef's words revealed a lot of important information.
It meant that William's identity was very sensitive, and even if they exchanged Thelonious's life for it, it might not matter!
Yosef's expression was serious, not fake.
Thelonious's last bit of hope was completely shattered by Yosef's words.
This William was indeed not someone he could provoke!
"Thelonious, you can actually call your brother and see how he decides."
William said quietly, looking completely unconcerned.
Thelonious frowned. The other party was so confident.
"Fine! I want to see who you really are!"
Thelonious, furious, took out his phone and called his brother.
The call connected, and a deep voice on the other end asked, "Thelonious, what is it so late? Is there a problem with the underground trade association in Lindwood City?"
"I captured someone named William Jones. He beat up Dashiell and Lazlo. But he's very arrogant, saying that even you would have to kneel and beg him."
Thelonious's face was full of a sinister smile, as if waiting to see William's downfall.
However, in the next second...
