Chapter 50 Be My Dog! Are You Worthy?
"I..." Joseph felt his throat tighten.
Faced with Ryder's question, he was already panicking. He couldn’t even answer.
He had truly realized that Ryder's words to him were not a threat but a fact.
The Smith family would be destroyed tonight! No one, no resources could help him!
When Joseph confirmed this conclusion, how would he dare to hesitate for a second?
He immediately fell to his knees in front of Ryder, tears and snot streaming down his face, begging, "Mr. Clark! It's my fault! Please spare the Smith family!"
"I'm willing to do anything, even be a dog by your side!" Joseph said, as he began to kowtow heavily to Ryder.
The force was so strong that even the floor of the private room trembled slightly.
Faced with Joseph's desperate kowtows and pleas for mercy, Ryder remained calm and simply said, "Are you worthy of being my dog?"
This sentence had a tremendous impact, and the expressions of the onlookers varied.
Joseph had been in Houston for decades and had never been told that he wasn't even worthy of being a dog!
Although this statement may have sounded pretentious, no one present felt that there was anything wrong with it.
After all, considering Ryder's current connections, there were countless people who wanted to be his dog!
A mere Joseph was truly unworthy of being a dog!
As for Joseph himself, he was naturally struck hard by Ryder's words.
But driven by his instinct for survival, he continued to plead, "Mr. Clark! I know my son can be extravagant in his daily life and has inadvertently offended you! I can take responsibility for all the mistakes he has made. Please, give the Smith family a chance!"
Ryder looked at Joseph indifferently and said, "Do you even know what your good son has done? Do you dare to take responsibility for it?"
Joseph's gaze became blank as he shook his head.
His business was so busy. Where did he have the time to understand every word and action of Sam? Moreover, Sam was independent in nature and rarely shared things with him.
Ryder raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Then why wait? If you don't clarify the whole situation now, there may not be another chance later!"
Joseph became nervous. He had a very bad feeling.
But under Ryder's command, how could he dare to delay even a bit?
He crawled and rolled to Sam's side, grabbing his leg with a fierce look, demanding to know the truth of the matter.
At this point, Sam was already terrified.
Even if he were arrogant, he knew that it was the moment when Arthur supported Ryder.
The whole Smith family would be finished, and he, Sam, would be responsible for it!
Seeing his father in a sorry state, Sam cried and revealed the entire course of events.
When he finished his story, Joseph sat on the ground with a pale face. The hollow look in his eyes indicated that he had realized the severity of the situation far exceeded his imagination!
Before coming to The Source Hotel, he never imagined that his son would first hit Ryder's sister while driving under the influence and escape, then come to Ryder's wife to propose, and finally attempt to kidnap Ryder's wife and commit rape!
Each of these actions challenged Ryder's bottom line! They were unforgivable sins!
"Dad... Dad... I really didn't mean it! If I had known how formidable Ryder was, how could I have done these things?" Sam lamented.
"Dad, I don't want to die! Please, you have to save me!" Sam cried out desperately. Being overwhelmed with fear, he had already wet himself, and the stench of urine permeated the air.
Joseph let out a complex and pained laughter.
"Why should I save you? And even if I wanted to, how could I?"
Just one word from Ryder, and they would immediately meet their demise with no chance of burial.
No one present could stop it. Nor did anyone dare to stop it!
Joseph felt an indescribable regret for indulging his own son, which now led to the jeopardy of the entire Smith family's decades of hard work and success!
His remorse was beyond words. All he could do now was continue kneeling before Ryder. His voice choked with sobs as he said, "The fate of the Smith family rests solely in your hands!"
Giving up resistance was the only thing he could do!
To this, Ryder seemed to pay no attention.
He walked straight towards Tony, step by step, getting closer and closer.
Tony's emotions were in shambles at this moment!
Originally, this whole situation had nothing to do with him. It was just because of a momentary impulse that he ended up coming here to help Joseph.
During this process, he had already suspected twice that Ryder's identity was extraordinary, but he didn't persist due to his greed.
And now, he was being punished at this very moment.
Faced with Ryder, who was approaching him, Tony knelt down and delivered a slap to his own face!
"I deserve to die! I beg you to show mercy and spare me!"
In no time, both sides of his face had swelled up, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth!
Ryder stopped one step away from him and asked, "I have a question. Answer truthfully!"
Tony nodded repeatedly.
Ryder asked, "If tonight Arthur hadn't arrived and it was our side that failed, I would have ended up in your hands begging for mercy. Would you have spared me then?"
"I..." Tony was momentarily at a loss for words. He really wanted to say yes, but the truth was, if such a situation were to occur, he wouldn't spare Ryder at all.
At the moment, Ryder wanted him to tell the truth, so he couldn't dare to lie. After hesitating for two seconds, he could only shake his head, indicating that he wouldn't spare him!
A cold smile appeared on Ryder's lips. "Right. Even you say you wouldn't spare me, then what reason do I have to spare you?"
"I have always adhered to one principle: if someone shows me kindness, I'll repay them tenfold; if someone shows me malice, I'll repay them tenfold or a hundredfold! Unfortunately, you happen to fall into the latter category!"
These words made Tony's mind buzz involuntarily. Cold sweat formed on his forehead, and his slightly chubby body couldn't stop trembling.
"Mr. Clark, I..."
Ignoring his panic, Ryder bent down slightly and picked up the pair of walnuts from the ground, playing with them lightly.
"I just said that the main characters for the formal program have already been chosen, but we're currently lacking an extra. How about you give it a try?"
Tony nodded eagerly, saying, "I can! I really can!"
Ryder tilted his head slightly and looked at Tony, asking, "Won't you regret it?"
Tony had a determined expression on his face and replied, "I will never regret it! But I don't know what your program is about?"
The dark eyes of Ryder flickered with a sinister gleam as he said, "I want to create a traffic accident, and you will be the one responsible for it!"
