Chapter 174 One Trouble After Another
Everyone turned in the direction of the sound and saw another group of people approaching from the distance.
Leading the group was Ignatius, dressed in a suit and looking every bit the successful businessman.
Following him was Lucian wearing a black tank top, with long hair and tattoos on his body.
Finally, there were over twenty subordinates. These people were carrying stretchers. On the stretchers lay many people, all covered in wounds and groaning in pain.
"Who are these people?" The Martins looked puzzled.
Rowan walked over, seeing the stern faces of these people, and cautiously asked, "Excuse me, what brings you here?"
"Where is Larry?" Lucian ignored Rowan and shouted fiercely.
Everyone's eyes turned to Larry.
Chloe was also puzzled. She thought Lucian looked familiar but couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Larry looked at the fierce Lucian and recognized him as the troublemaker from the previous night. He walked over calmly and said indifferently, "I'm here. What's the matter?"
As soon as Lucian saw Larry, he pulled out a sharp knife and viciously lunged at Larry, shouting, "I'm going to kill you and avenge my buddies."
Larry quickly dodged, avoiding the knife, then swiftly grabbed Lucian's wrist and twisted it forcefully.
Lucian screamed as he bent over double in pain.
"Get lost." Larry suddenly let go and kicked Lucian.
Lucian was kicked six feet away, rolling across the ground a few times. He screamed in pain, lying on the ground, unable to get up.
The Martins watched this scene, not knowing what had happened, but they could all guess that Larry had caused trouble again.
Ambrose, who was called on by Percival, saw Ignatius and frowned slightly. He then walked over and greeted Ignatius with a smile, "Ignatius, what a coincidence. What brings you here?"
Ignatius glanced at him and recognized Ambrose. Both were part of the underground forces in Neon City, so they had naturally met before.
Ignatius said, "It's you, Ambrose. What are you doing at the Martin residence?"
Ambrose smiled and said, "Someone here offended Percival, so I brought some buddies to avenge him."
Ignatius glanced at Percival and nodded in acknowledgment. He then said, "It seems we have the same purpose. This guy named Larry beat up a few of my buddies last night, and I'm here to get revenge."
The conversation between the two was overheard by the Martins.
Solene immediately stepped forward, looking at the big shots, and hurriedly said, "This has nothing to do with the Martin family. Larry isn't related to us Martins."
"Is that so?" Ignatius said coldly, "Larry is the son-in-law of the Lewis family, and Scott's wife, Maria, is your daughter. Are you still going to say that Larry is unrelated to the Martins?"
"Yes, he has no relation to us." Solene was truly scared. These were all extremely troublesome gang members.
She hurriedly said, "I will expel Maria from the family right now. From now on, Maria has nothing to do with the Martin family."
Maria felt very angry and immediately cursed, "Larry, you loser! What did you do? How did you offend so many of Neon City's big shots in just one day?"
Chloe was also a bit confused. She knew about Percival, but didn't know other people. She looked at Larry.
Larry remained calm and didn't take these people seriously at all.
Percival and Ignatius both fixed their gaze on Larry.
Percival shouted, "Larry, let me beat you up, and let Chloe come with me. Then this matter will be settled."
Ignatius pointed to his subordinates on the stretchers and said coldly, "You think you can just walk away after beating my subordinates? Compensate us with twenty billion dollars, and this matter will be settled. If the Lewis family doesn't have the money, then the Martin family should pay. If you don't, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The Martins remained silent. These big shots were all here for Larry, so they wisely kept their mouths shut.
But Rowan couldn't swallow this insult.
"Outrageous." He stepped forward and shouted, "This is the Martin residence. Let's see who dares to act recklessly here!"
"Stop it, Dad. These people are not to be messed with."
"Exactly, Dad, this has nothing to do with us. Don't get involved."
"Dad, do you know who these people are? This is Ignatius, a very powerful man in Neon City. I heard that a prominent family once offended him and ended up bankrupt and in prison."
The Martins spoke up, pulling Rowan back, urging him not to get involved.
But Rowan was a soldier, and he couldn't tolerate these people causing trouble. He immediately took out his phone and called the police chief, Finnian Creed. "Finnian , it's Rowan. There are a lot of people causing trouble at the Martin residence."
At the police headquarters, in the chief's office, Finnian received Rowan's call. Rowan was his mentor and had helped him a lot in the past. It could be said that without Rowan, he wouldn't be where he was today.
However, this morning, Finnian received a call from higher-ups, warning him not to get involved in the Martin family's affairs, or no one could protect him.
Finnian said, "I'm sorry, I'm really busy. I'll bring some gifts and visit you at the Martin residence another day. That's it, goodbye."
Rowan wanted to say more, but Finnian hung up the phone. His aged face showed a heavy expression.
Although he was old, he wasn't senile. From Finnian's perfunctory response, he could tell that Larry had offended some truly powerful people, and they were taking action against him.
The Martins looked at Rowan.
Ignatius laughed. "Mr. Martin, did you call Finnian? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Today, even Finnian can't protect the Martin family. I mean what I say, pay me twenty billion dollars, and this matter will be settled. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what?" Rowan's expression was dark and terrifying.
At this moment, Cormac received a call. After hearing the content, he instantly collapsed to the ground. "I'm screwed."
Many members of the Martin family looked at Cormac.
Rowan asked, "Cormac, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa," Cormac said with a deathly pale face, "I've been suspended."
At the same time, all the employed members of the Martin family received notifications that they were all suspended. The Martins fell into a state of panic.
Lucian got up from the ground, laughing maniacally. "If we don't get a satisfactory answer today, the Martins will be wiped out from Neon City!"
Hearing this, the Martins were terrified.
"Larry, you loser, what have you done?"
"Chloe, you're such a jinx."
"I told you Chloe was a jinx, but you didn't believe me."
"Maria, do you realize how much trouble you've brought to the Martin family?"
The Martins all blamed Maria's family.
