Chapter 62 Lean on Me, Mr. Johnson!
Wayne's face changed. He had clawed his way up through the years and had seen all sorts of people.
But today, he felt he was facing an utterly unpredictable enemy.
The aura emanating from William was too unique, imposing a different kind of pressure on him.
It seemed that this seemingly ordinary man had an extraordinary background.
It was true!
That was the impression William had given Wayne after his declaration.
But Wayne was no coward. He chuckled coldly, saying, "William, are you sure you want to oppose me? Although Fred is backing you, I am still the head honcho of Lindwood City's underworld. Even if the hands behind Fred are long, they should weigh their actions before making a move."
Indeed, Wayne was referring to George. In his view, the only reason William dared to be so bold was because he relied on the face and money of Joe, the Richest Man.
If it really came down to a fight, Wayne had plenty of thugs and hoodlums at his disposal. He had built his fortune on this in his youth. He knew the drill.
Moreover, the figure behind Wayne was no pushover but a person of significant influence.
If things really got out of hand, just a few words from that influential figure would make Joe, the Richest Man, consider the consequences.
In the world of business, capital is the thread that moves the whole body.
However, contrary to Wayne's expectations, William simply smiled faintly and said, "Wayne, you think too highly of yourself and too little of me. No matter who you are, how many people you have, or how strong your backing is, if I decide to deal with you, no one can stop me!"
The arrogance was unmatched!
The tone was brazen!
Wayne's frown deepened, his face growing darker, and with a ferocious smile, he said. "William, do you really intend to make a move against me?"
William didn't reply. His attitude said it all.
Wayne didn't dawdle either. He stepped back, and in an instant, dozens of thugs charged from all directions within the bar. They were the kind of ruffians and hoodlums from the streets, armed with clubs, and they came with a menacing momentum.
"Attack!" Wayne roared, then shouted loudly. "Don't take their lives!"
Wayne had already planned to take down William and Fred, to give them a taste of suffering, to let them know he was not to be trifled with.
Once he had them, Wayne would immediately inform his backer to come forward and resolve the issue.
After all, Fred was Joe, the Richest Man's man.
Touching his people would be the spark that lights the fuse.
Facing the rapidly encircling crowd, William and his companions showed no sign of panic.
They just watched silently.
Meanwhile, outside the bar, dozens of black business cars paved the way, instantly surrounding the Starlight Bar!
In a uniform fashion, forty to fifty black-suited, black-booted, black-sunglass-wearing bodyguards with white gloves got out of the cars, quickly lining up in two rows at the bar's entrance!
Then, a black Jaguar stopped at the door!
The scene was grand!
The atmosphere was tense!
The car door opened, and Alan, dressed in a white suit, stepped out, removing the gentleman's hat from his head, and glanced at the tightly closed door of the Starlight Bar.
This was his signature entrance.
With just a look, Craig, who had gotten out of the car wearing a green military uniform, immediately waved his hand, leading his men to violently break open the door!
Then, Alan entered first, followed by his subordinates who filed in line behind him.
This shocking scene was witnessed by Nancy and the others hiding in the corner.
Todd was already scared out of his wits, sitting on the ground, stuttering. "It's over, it's over! Alan, the Underground Emperor of Lindwood City! He actually came too!"
The Underground Emperor of Lindwood City, Alan!
The name reverberated in their ears like a demonic chant.
In Lindwood City, from the youngest child to the eldest senior citizen, everyone knew Alan!
His was an invincible and terrifying existence!
And judging by the people Alan brought, something big was definitely happening!
Today, Starlight Bar was extraordinarily lively!
Percy Wheeler was so frightened that he wet himself and ran away on the spot.
He didn't dare to stay any longer; it was too terrifying!
The other two girls were also nervous, unable to speak, pulling Nancy to leave. "Let's go, Nancy, we can't help anymore. Your cousin-in-law is definitely doomed because of Mr. Perez and Mr. Jordan."
"We should run now, if we get caught and taken back, we're finished too."
"Call the police, I think that William is in big trouble. Let's call the police now! Maybe, we can still save our lives."
The group spoke over each other, each pale-faced.
Nancy was also very panicked and afraid. If something really happened to William, she definitely couldn't escape responsibility.
To go or not to go?
To call the police or not?
Just as Nancy was hesitating, chaos had already erupted inside the bar.
A dozen of Wayne's thugs, all with ferocious expressions, surrounded William and the others.
"Take him down!" Enrique bellowed.
The group pounced.
It was quite a scene.
But there was an even bigger scene!
Suddenly, there were several loud bangs inside the bar!
From the entrance passages to the left and right, seven or eight men were suddenly flung out!
They were all Wayne's men!
Then, a group of men in black suits charged into the bar's main hall!
The leader was the towering and fierce Craig!
One man stood against a dozen thugs armed with clubs!
These were the men Wayne had arranged to guard the door.
However, in a flash, they were all taken down by Craig single-handedly!
Hearing the commotion, Wayne's face turned furious, and as he glared over, he saw Alan walking out from behind the crowd with a smile that disgusted him.
"Alan! What are you trying to do? This is my territory! Why did you bring so many people here?"
Wayne was furious, not expecting Alan to bring people to smash his place.
The two had been openly and covertly fighting for years, but never like today.
What did Alan want?
Did he want to recreate the bloody conflict from five years ago?
Had he forgotten the agreement they made back then?
However, Alan didn't give a damn about Wayne but quickly walked up to William, bowed, and said respectfully. "William, I brought a total of forty people, all elite and under my command. Additionally, I've ordered my men to surround Wayne's venues, companies, and the kickboxing gyms of the Sky Association. Just say the word, and Wayne's power will be uprooted from Lindwood City today."
Alan was straightforward, laying out his plans without delay.
He had been waiting for this day for many years.
However, after hearing this, Wayne laughed a few times, saying, "Alan, have you lost your mind? You think you can take me down with his help?"
At first, Wayne was momentarily panicked when he heard Alan's words, but he quickly found it laughable.
His venues and companies in Lindwood City amounted to dozens!
Could they be uprooted so easily?
Even if someone had the power to uproot them, it couldn't be done with just a word, right?
And Wayne had his own backup plans!
Alan turned around, his expression indifferent as he coldly spoke to Wayne. "Wayne, in the past, our conflicts were merely overt and covert skirmishes, minor frictions. But today, you should never have provoked William. He says he wants to eliminate you, and I, Alan, will spare no effort!"
"Very well! I never thought the great Alan, the biggest power in Lindwood City, would listen to a young man. You think I am a three-year-old child, afraid of you?" Wayne shouted angrily, then quickly took out his phone and dialed a number. "Bring people to the Starlight Bar, the more the better, immediately! It's war!"
The phone was immediately answered. "Alright Mr. Perez, I'll bring people over. Fuck! Who the hell are you? Who let you in?"
"Don't move! We are a joint law enforcement police force, you are all under arrest! Get down!"
Wayne was taken aback, his expression panicked.
Sounds of fighting and gunshots came through the phone!
At the same time, an authoritative voice came from the other end of the line. "Wayne, this is Mark Jackson. We've been waiting a long time for this day, and I believe we'll be meeting very soon."
Mark! The captain of the enforcement squad!
He had always been watching Wayne, lamenting the lack of direct evidence.
But just ten minutes ago, he received an anonymous letter, full of evidence of Wayne's crimes!
Irrefutable evidence!
So, he immediately mobilized dozens of officers from the city and border guards, over two hundred armed personnel, to surround the kickboxing gym of the Sky Association!
They took it down in one fell swoop!
Hearing this, Wayne was already in a state of panic.
But he had weathered many storms and quickly dialed another number, one he didn't often contact. "Hello, Mr. Johnson, I'm in trouble here, you need to come forward and help me."
This was the backer Wayne relied on! A person of tremendous power! A figure to be revered!
