Chapter 164: Nothing to lose
Chapter 164: Nothing to lose
George Weir continued, "However, Sam Smith has been extremely cautious with his transactions and communications, so even the police can't pinpoint his exact whereabouts at the moment. Capturing him is going to be quite a challenge for the time being."
Ryder Clark nodded in understanding and did not probe further. He started to ponder in his mind.
Reflecting on the past, Sam Smith was the one responsible for the accident that harmed Ava Clark and had repeatedly clashed with Ryder Clark, ending up in a miserable defeat.
Ryder Clark was well aware that sparing Sam Smith's life could potentially invite retaliation, but still, this level of aggression was somewhat unexpected.
Initially, Ryder Clark had suspected the Johnson and Hong families due to their direct business conflicts with SG Group, and likely motives for wrongdoing. However, he had overlooked Sam Smith.
Interestingly enough, this added a twist to things.
George Weir expressed his concern, "Mr. Clark, Sam Smith seems to have gone off the deep end. If he's plotting to set fire to a warehouse this time, who knows what crazy thing he might do next? How about I assign a few reliable guys from the company to provide 24-hour security for you and your wife?"
Ryder Clark rolled his eyes in slight exasperation, "No need to be so panicked. As the old saying goes, ' Fight fire with fire.' If Sam Smith has thrown down the gauntlet, I simply have to accept the challenge! If I need your help, I'll be sure to ask."
George Weir nodded in respect.
Glancing at the clock, it was already past five in the afternoon.
"Let's set aside the matter of Sam Smith for now. I was just getting ready to check out my new place and see how the renovations are coming along. Care to join me and maybe offer some input?"
Eagerly, George Weir stood up and nodded, "Of course, that'd be no problem at all!"
No way was George Weir going to pass up the honor of visiting Ryder Clark’s new house when he personally invited Weir. Refusing would make Weir look like a total fool, he thought.
They walked downstairs together, and George Weir offered to give Ryder Clark a lift, but Ryder Clark turned him down. Ryder Clark insisted that riding his e-bike over would be just fine, and that he could even give Weir a lift!
The thought of riding behind Ryder Clark on an e-bike nearly sent George Weir, known as the Dragon of Houston, into a panic. It was hard to imagine that Mr. Clark, the respected president of Maple Real Estate and the secretive owner of Boss Security, would suggest such a mode of transportation. For a moment, George Weir thought he’d misheard.
But knowing Ryder Clark well—his character and his indifference to such details—he knew Ryder Clark treated him like a brother and this wasn’t a big deal to Clark. If he hadn't known Ryder Clark well, he wouldn't have gone along with Ryder Clark, not for all the courage in the world.
After getting on the e-bike, Ryder Clark took George Weir towards the Platan Height Villa area...
On the way, George Weir learned from Ryder Clark that the new house was in the Platan Height Villa area.
To this, George Weir was not surprised at all!
After all, in his view, it would be strange if someone with Ryder Clark's status didn't live in the Platan Height Villa area!
Of course, at this moment, he was still unaware that Ryder Clark actually lived in the legendary No. 1 villa of the Platan Height Villa area...
Ten minutes later.
Ryder Clark arrived at the foot of the hill of the Platan Height Villa area.
Just 500 meters up the spacious road was the entrance to the community!
Just then!
Three figures suddenly darted out from the roadside, blocking the path of Ryder Clark's electric scooter!
"Stop!"
Screech!
Ryder Clark stopped the e-bike and asked, "What's the matter?"
At this moment, the person in the middle of the three lifted his head, his face cold, and said, "Well, if it isn't Ryder Clark! Didn't expect this, huh? We meet again!"
Seeing the man's face, Ryder Clark couldn't help but frown slightly: "Sawyer?"
He remembered that the last time he came to see the house, this guy, along with the wealthy widow Ella, had caused him quite a bit of trouble!
In the end, it was his own doing, entering the No. 1 villa without permission and stirring up trouble, and he was thrown out!
Just today, Sawyer's appearance had changed a lot!
Originally, no matter what, he was a pretty boy who relied on his looks, and his appearance and temperament were quite good!
But now, Ryder Clark noticed two new scars on the guy's face!
The whole person exuded a somewhat decadent and resentful air!
Sawyer's eyes were coldly fixed on Ryder Clark: "Mr. Clark! Do you know how hard I've waited for you these days? Do you know how much suffering I've been through because of you? Do you know that my future prospects are all gone because of you? Goddamn it!"
Thinking back on the recent events, Sawyer had an endless stream of grievances!
Because of his violation of the rules in the Platan Height Villa, Ella's family was implicated and driven out of the Platan Height Villa!
For this, Ella's father, Old Master Hou, was furious!
Not only did he slap Ella severely and confine her, but he also paid some thugs to teach him a lesson!
The scars on his face were left from that!
This was something Sawyer could not accept!
His face was ruined, what would he rely on for a living in the future? How could he cling to a wealthy woman? How could he live in a villa?
All of this was fucking Ryder Clark's fault!
This grudge must be avenged!
So these days he found two fellow townsmen to specifically wait on the road outside the Platan Height Villa area to block Ryder Clark!
Because he believed that Ryder Clark would definitely come to the Platan Height Villa again!
Sure enough, he managed to block him!
Now facing Sawyer's questioning, Ryder Clark replied calmly and confidently: "This series of mistakes was caused by yourself! It has nothing to do with me; you've got the wrong person!"
Hearing this, Sawyer's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Ryder Clark! Don't act high and mighty! I know you're powerful now, you have money, and you don't take people like me seriously! But you should have heard the saying, 'The barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes!'"
"Oh? From what you're saying, do you have some kind of plan?"
Sawyer hummed with a smirk, threateningly: "You're right! You're rich now, no doubt, but you have to leave your house, right? Your beautiful wife has to go out, right? Best not let me catch the opportunity, as long as I do, I won't do anything illegal, but making you feel disgusted is easy! Like taking secret photos, spreading some rumors online, and so on! Anyway, I'm best at these things!"
Ryder Clark narrowed his eyes slightly, interested: "So what do you want me to do to resolve this matter?"
Sawyer stretched out his hand and made a gesture for money: "Give me 50 million! Then we can call it even! You're so rich, consider it as spending money to avoid disaster!"
"50 million? You really have the nerve to ask! To be honest, not to mention 50 million, I wouldn't want to give you even 5 yuan! Because I'm not in the wrong!"
This response caused Sawyer's eyes to twitch uncontrollably, and he cursed: "Mr. Clark! You're pushing me! Not giving money? I'm going to let you taste my power right now!"
Saying this, he commanded the two brothers behind him: "You two, strip him clean! I want to take a few photos, see how much they're worth!"
"Alright!"
The two fellow townsmen grinned and stepped forward.
But just two steps out!
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, two muffled sounds.
The two men flew backward like kites with their strings cut...
