Chapter 174 Can You Still Hold Me Down?
Once everything was ready, in the afternoon, William drove with Kayla and Sharon to the KY Hotel in the North district. Before leaving, William specifically checked who owned the KY Hotel.
This investigation led him to even more suspicions. The KY Hotel was owned by the Bell family, his enemies.
Once they knew that William was here, they might send people to capture him. Luckily, William had already arranged for Baca to bring over a hundred employees from the Black Fist Academy, who had dispersed and hidden themselves.
If anything were to happen later, with a single command from William, he would immediately receive support from these Black Fist fighters.
Even if they were faced with the entire Bell family's security personnel, they could handle it easily. Even the weakest among them could take on three security guards, and someone like Baca could handle ten of them without any problem.
Furthermore, William had Sharon protecting him, so they couldn't harm him at all.
"William, do you think this might be a trap?" Kayla, sitting in the car, frowned with worries about this unexpected turn of events.
"Whether it's a trap or not doesn't matter to me. What I care about is whether Ruben will show up later. As long as he does, I won't lose out this time!" William's mouth curved into a slight smile. As long as Ruben dared to appear, he had confidence in obtaining the 10% stake in the Garcia Group. Moreover, if they tried to plot against him, William had an excuse to acquire that stake at an even lower price.
"Ruben should come, right?" Kayla couldn't be certain at this moment. Although the person who called her was indeed Ruben himself, she couldn't be sure if he had deceived her in this situation.
William drove the car into the underground parking lot of the KY Hotel, where many luxury cars were parked. It was evident that the KY Hotel was a relatively high-end establishment. After getting out of the car, William took Kayla and Sharon directly to the third floor through the elevator. Along the way, they didn't notice anything suspicious.
Room 308 on the third floor was the private room that Kayla and Ruben had agreed upon.
Once William and the others entered, they saw that Room 308 was quite spacious, measuring up to two hundred square meters. Such a large room was usually reserved for banquets, but in the center of this large room, there was only one dining table.
At the dining table, there were only three people seated, one of whom was the refined-looking Ruben with a pair of black-framed glasses. He appeared to be around thirty years old, looking quite youthful.
The other two people, Yves and Harold, were people that William knew.
"William, long time no see!" Yves greeted with a big smile, secretly admiring Harold's cunning plan for successfully luring William here.
"It has indeed been a while. Did you bring me over because you still want to give me assets?" William smiled at the corners of his mouth, not feeling scared upon seeing Yves. On the contrary, he was calm and even seemed confident.
As he stood there, a sense of superiority emanated from him.
Before, Baca had already brought more than a hundred skilled black boxers to secretly infiltrate KY Hotel in batches. One call or a message from William, they could reach the room 308 within ten minutes.
"This time, it's not me giving you assets, but you giving me assets. It's time to settle our accounts," Yves said, smiling, thinking William had fallen into his trap.
In this spacious 200-square-meter private room, he had already arranged over a hundred security personnel. Even if that female bodyguard were skilled in combat, she wouldn't be able to defeat this large group. With a single command from him, William and his companions would be immediately surrounded, like fish waiting to be slaughtered.
"It hasn't been a few days, and you're already boasting!" William smiled and teased Yves.
At this moment, only William could still maintain such a relaxed and composed demeanor when teasing the head of the Bell family.
"William, even in this situation, you remain so optimistic. I must admit, I admire you. But I'm curious to see if you can continue to maintain this optimism," Yves sneered and clapped his hands forcefully.
Instantly, the front and back doors of room 308 swung open with a loud noise. Dressed in identical black clothing, the security personnel entered with an imposing manner, surrounding William and his companions with layers of people. The entire room was filled with people, easily over a hundred.
Kayla, scared by this sight, paled. She never expected Ruben to deceive her into coming here by selling shares at a low price. Frightened, she couldn't help but hide behind William.
Yves was quite satisfied seeing that William and his allies were trapped by his subordinates.
"How do you feel now, William? Still feel optimistic? Do you still dare to be arrogant in front of me? Haha!" Yves laughed heartily, finally trapping this man. The next step would be to tie him up and use him as leverage against Antony.
"Just over a hundred people? Do you think this can trap me?" William faintly smiled, while secretly sending a message to Baca, asking him to bring people to room 308 on the third floor.
After sending this text, all William needed to do was stall for time, until Baca and his men arrived, completely relieving the pressure.
"William, you really are audacious! I have over a hundred and fifty subordinates here. Do you think you and that female bodyguard can handle them?" Yves' expression grew colder and more menacing as he spoke, picking up a drink from the table and taking a sip. He coldly snorted, saying, "Today, I will grant your wish. Just don't kneel before me when the time comes!"
Yves intended to let his subordinates attack William and his companions, but he was interrupted by Ruben beside him.
"Hold on! Can I go up and say a few words to Kayla?" Ruben had long been thinking about talking to Kayla.
"Sure, go ahead! Just don't take too long. I don't have much patience," Yves said calmly, giving Ruben a chance. After all, Ruben had helped bring William here.
"Thank you," Ruben expressed his gratitude to Yves and then approached William and the others. His gaze fell on the alluring and sexy Kayla.
Today she was wearing a white off-shoulder bodycon dress, perfectly showing off her graceful and enchanting figure. The hem of the skirt barely covered her perky buttocks, drawing the attention of many men present.
Coupled with Kayla's seductive and enticing face, she was definitely a captivating beauty in the eyes of men. Most of the men present had their eyes fixed on her. It was evident how much attention Kayla attracted.
Ruben had been longing for her for a long time.
"Kayla, you heard it too. With so many people fighting, you're bound to get hurt. Come to my side, and I'll protect you!" Ruben pretended to be a kind and polite person as he tried to persuade Kayla. But everyone present probably knew what he was really thinking.
"Ruben, stop pretending to be a good person! You brought us here, and now you're acting like you have done nothing," Kayla firmly rejected. If it hadn't been for Ruben tricking her into coming here with promises of selling shares at a low price, William and the others wouldn't have fallen into Yves' trap.
"Kayla, I'm genuinely trying to protect you, but you treat me like this! Just follow me, I can give you 1% of the Garcia Group's shares. You'll become a shareholder of the company. If you agree, we can leave now. Otherwise, once the fight breaks out, you'll definitely get hurt," Ruben felt unwilling and continued to exert pressure and enticement.
However, Kayla had seen through Ruben a long time ago, and there was no way she would agree.
"Ruben, give up on me! I'll never go with you. You're not worthy!" Kayla's words completely enraged Ruben, and he pointed at her, shouting in anger.
"Wait and see how I deal with you later!"
Ruben then turned to Yves, trying to please him.
"Can you please ask your subordinates not to hurt Kayla later? Just tie her up, and I want to take her away."
"Alright, since you've done me a favor today, it's nothing to help you with a woman," Yves was in a good mood, so he agreed to bind Kayla and hand her over to Ruben. This also settled his debt to Ruben for today.
"Thank you so much!" Ruben was overjoyed. Finally, he could have Kayla, and he felt extremely excited.
"Alright, guys, bring out your weapons..." Yves was about to give orders to severely beat up William and the others when Mario, who had been standing outside all this time, rushed in panic with a worried expression on his face, loudly shouting.
"Something bad has happened!"
"Mario pushed through the crowd in a hurry and finally came to Yves. But before he could say anything, Yves slapped him in the face.
"Every time I'm in a good mood, you start shouting at me. Tell me clearly what's happening outside."
"There are a lot of people outside, and our security can't stop them. They are now trying to break into our private room," Mario gasped for breath and reported anxiously.
"Are your eyes playing tricks on you? This is our hotel. Who dares to barge in?" Yves slapped Mario again, his face turning grim.
"It's true. The one leading them seems to be Baca from the underground fighting arena. I saw him when I went there to bet on a match. I am not making a mistake," Mario said, with a hand covering his cheek, feeling wronged.
"Baca?" Yves was still puzzled when suddenly a group of people burst into the room through the front and back doors of the 308 private room. They started assaulting anyone they saw, with terrifying strength. The one leading them was indeed Baca, and no one could match him in strength.
Soon, Baca forcefully made his way to the center of the crowd. He felt relieved seeing that William was unharmed and immediately approached him with a respectful expression.
"Mr. Brown, all 120 fighters from the underground fighting arena are here, ready to follow your orders!" Baca said.
As soon as the words fell, the whole room was shocked. The fighters from the underground arena actually obeyed William's orders. What was going on?
Yves and even Harold couldn't believe their eyes. Ruben's face turned pale from fear.
On the other hand, William smiled faintly and looked at Yves before saying, "Do you still think your people can keep me trapped?"
