Chapter 457 Inescapable Fate
"Wait there, I'll be at Lindwood City soon!"
The head of the Gonzales family, Tobias Gonzales, said this.
Then, the call was hung up!
Thelonious was stunned for half a minute before he reacted.
What was going on?
Tobias was coming to Lindwood City in person?
Lindwood City was several hours' journey from Imperial City.
Meanwhile, on the highway to Lindwood City, a Rolls-Royce was speeding.
Inside the car, Tobias was full of shock and horror, with cold sweat on his forehead, saying, "Get me to Thelonious's residence as fast as possible!"
After saying this, Tobias's heart was pounding wildly!
It was Panic-stricken!
As the head of the Gonzales family in Washington, D.C., it was really unusual and rare to see such a panicked expression on his face.
Even the driver was as silent as a cicada in winter at this moment.
The atmosphere in the car was extremely cold.
Tobias cursed inwardly, 'How did Thelonious provoke him! Damn it! Is the Gonzales family going to experience the crisis from eight years ago again?'
At Thelonious's residence.
"So, what did your big brother say?" William asked indifferently.
Thelonious frowned, not knowing how to answer.
"Don't be so smug! He will be in Lindwood City soon!"
Thelonious said, his eyes full of provocation.
This sentence was naturally meant for Scarlett to hear.
Scarlett shook her head, full of helplessness, and said, "Thelonious, the outside world says you're very powerful, but now I see, you're just a brainless fool."
"Scarlett Ashford, I've tolerated you for a long time. Even if the Ashford family is big and powerful, if you really get into a dispute with the Gonzales family, you won't benefit! I advise you, it's best not to meddle in this matter!"
Thelonious could be said to be shouting with bloodshot eyes, almost unable to catch his breath.
He was completely cornered!
But to Scarlett, these were not worth mentioning at all!
She looked at Thelonious coldly and said, "Yosef, count to three. If they don't apologize by then, deal with them on the spot."
Yosef looked at Santino coldly and said, "Mr. Gonzales, I'm sorry, Ms. Ashford has spoken. I hope you consider carefully. You have three seconds to think about what you should do next."
Yosef looked at Thelonious, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"One!"
At first, Thelonious still had a glimmer of hope, or rather, he was still immersed in his anger.
But when "one" was shouted out, Thelonious fell silent.
Yes, he couldn't control his emotions. A feeling of impending doom quietly crept into his heart!
Just a single number could make him feel the threat of death!
Because Thelonious deeply understood that the other party didn't care about him at all, or to them, the result they wanted was the most important, everything else was insignificant.
Thelonious had no time to think now. He knew clearly that if he shook his head, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Two!"
Yosef called out.
The entire room was eerily quiet, only Yosef's voice echoed, like a demon from hell summoning the arrival of death!
When "two" was called out, the gun Yosef had pointed at Thelonious's head slowly pressed down on the trigger!
Thelonious knew very well whether there were bullets in the gun.
When the trigger was halfway down, Thelonious suddenly felt the threat of death, his breathing almost stopped. At that moment, he almost thought the other party had fired!
"Three!"
Yosef said coldly!
"How dare you! What are you trying to do? I'm a member of the Gonzales family! My big brother will be here soon!"
Thelonious roared!
At the same time, a Rolls-Royce suddenly burst into the gate!
Tobias had arrived!
He hurriedly jumped out of the car and rushed inside as fast as he could. Seeing the scene, he quickly shouted, "Wait!"
Seeing Tobias, Thelonious finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Scarlett and the others and scolded, "Tobias, look, these are the people of the Ashford family, they actually want to kill me! They're too lawless, they don't put the Gonzales family in their eyes at all!"
Thelonious thought that as long as Tobias arrived, the matter would be resolved immediately.
After all, the head of the Ashford family was unlikely to come.
Unexpectedly, Tobias suddenly kicked Thelonious hard in the chest and abdomen, shouting fiercely, "Shut up!"
In that instant, Thelonious was kicked to the ground, looking at Tobias in disbelief.
How could this be?
Tobias glared angrily at Thelonious. As a martial artist, he had controlled his strength; otherwise, Thelonious would have been crippled!
"Tobias, do you have anything else to say?" Scarlett turned her head, looking coldly at Tobias, and asked.
"I'll take responsibility for this. I'll unlock the handcuffs for Mr. Jones."
Tobias looked serious, his eyes falling on William, and he got goosebumps all over!
"Tobias! Why are you doing this? He hit Dashiell and Lazlo! Are you really that afraid of the Ashford family?"
Thelonious didn't understand and asked hysterically.
Tobias had traveled all this way just to surrender?
"Shut up! What do you know? If I hadn't come to Lindwood City in advance, you would have caused a major disaster today!"
Tobias shouted, his face flushed!
Fortunately, he had come to Lindwood City and received Thelonious's call, so he rushed over.
Tobias was at most wary of the Ashford family.
He was afraid of the man sitting there, William!
After saying this, Tobias walked heavily to William, leaned forward, and looking at William's sarcastic eyes, he said very seriously, "Mr. Jones, I apologize. I hope you can forgive Thelonious's recklessness."
William did not respond, his eyes cold.
Tobias gritted his teeth and continued to bow and scrape, "On behalf of the Gonzales family of Washington, D.C., I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry!"
William was the first person who had ever been able to make the head of the Gonzales family, a prominent martial arts family, show such humility!There was no other way; William was that god of death!
But Tobias had no choice. The events of eight years ago were still vivid in his mind!
The entire fate of the Gonzales family was now hanging by a thread.
As long as William said a word, there would be no more Gonzales family in this world.
Seeing this scene, Scarlett finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to see William lose his temper here. If her investigation was correct, this William was someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance!
If he really sought revenge, the Gonzales family would be completely finished.
This would inevitably touch many people's interests and cause a backlash.
By then, the situation would become unmanageable.
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, William quietly said, "Tobias, do you think an apology is enough? Thelonious wants me dead!"
Everyone was stunned!
Although the tone was very light, it was like a thunderclap, making the room tense again!
The entire room fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at William, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Was he not planning to let the Gonzales family go?
Hearing this, Tobias's heart sank, and Thelonious felt even worse. He seemed to have guessed what William wanted to do.
Thelonious now roughly realized William's identity, which was not as simple as it seemed. He could make the Ashford family come overnight to rescue him and make Tobias treat him like this, which was enough to show that his status was not simple!
But it was precisely such a person that Thelonious had misjudged and even captured him!
"Tobias, aren't you going to give me a result?"
William said lightly.
"I will definitely give you a satisfactory result."
Tobias responded quickly.
He knew that today's outcome was already determined. He could only say this, hoping to extinguish the anger in William's heart.
"Fine, Tobias, you said it. I'll be waiting. If I'm not satisfied, I'll make sure to settle this matter today!"
After saying this, William stood up, extended his hand to Thelonious, and with a bright smile on his face, said, "Thelonious, you unlock it."
