Chapter 176: Begging for Mercy
Neil did not leave.
Instead, he stayed temporarily at the Martins, chatting with Rowan.
The young people of the Martin family surrounded Chloe, constantly trying to please her.
About an hour passed.
Hundreds of military vehicles appeared outside the Martins yard.
Some fully armed soldiers showed up, only then did Neil walk into the yard.
Several leading officers approached, standing straight, saluting with their middle fingers to their brows.
"Neil," their voices were loud and clear.
Neil waved slightly, pointing to the hundreds of people still kneeling on the ground, and ordered, "Take them all back, investigate thoroughly, and punish severely without leniency."
The soldiers responded, "Yes, sir."
One of the soldiers instructed, "Take them away."
The soldiers came and took all the kneeling people away.
After they were taken away, Neil also had someone bring out a special supply of cigarettes, giving them to Rowan.
Neil reassured him, "Mr. Martin, don't worry, the Martin family members will be reinstated, and those troublemakers will be severely punished."
Rowan, holding Neil's hand, said excitedly, "It's truly a blessing for the people of Neon City to have you."
Neil smiled and said, "Mr. Martin, I have other businesses to attend to, so it's time for me to leave now. I'll visit you again when I'm available."
Meanwhile, he walked over to Chloe.
Chloe immediately stood up as he approached..
Neil was about to leave but still sought Chloe's opinion.
Neil sought Chloe's opinion out of respect and informed her, "Chloe, I'm leaving now."
As for Larry, Neil realized Larry was trying to be discreet and didn't want to reveal his identity. He also knew that Larry's primary concern was Chloe. As long as she was happy, Larry would be happy too.
Chloe was flattered by Neil's gesture..
She said respectfully, "Neil, if you're busy, you can go back first."
"Alright," Neil agreed, then he turned away.
After a few steps, he remembered Larry's credentials.He walked up to Larry and said, "Larry, come with me for a moment."
Larry nodded in understanding.Under many watchful eyes, Larry followed Neil outside the Martins' yard.
Outside the yard, Neil took out the Black Dragon credentials and handed them to Larry with both hands.
Larry took them and said calmly, "Thank you."After speaking, he turned away.
After a few steps, he stopped again and said, "By the way, that guy named Cormac is quite good. You can train him."
"Yes, sir," Neil obediently accepted the order.
Larry smiled faintly at Neil as he continued to walk away.
In the entire Martin family, there weren't many who helped out aside fro, Rowan and Cormac.
Although Cormac was restrained, he didn't show any fear in the face of so many important figures.
Larry returned to the yard.
Chloe came over, holding his hand, and asked, "What did Neil want with you?"
Larry said, "Nothing much, just asked me what your relationship with Free is."
"Free?"Chloe was stunned.
Larry whispered, "Neil said it was Free who called him over to ask me what your relationship with Free is."
Chloe's face gradually became serious.
Free?
She had no relationship with Free.
Could it be that the mysterious Mr. Bennett had a good relationship with Free?
She really couldn't figure it out.
Larry added, "Honey, it seems that the mysterious Mr. Bennett has quite a background. Even Marshal Free can be persuaded."
"I don't know," Chloe looked confused.
Larry smiled faintly.
He had said so much, Chloe should be able to guess the identity of the mysterious Mr. Bennett.
"Chloe, what are you standing there for? Come sit here," an elder of the Martin family came over, pulling Chloe to a table in the yard.
A bunch of members surrounded her.They all asked about Chloe's relationship with General Neil.
Meanwhile, Maria was enjoying herself being in the limelight. This was the most glorious homecoming she had in decades.
On the other hand, Sam was also mingling with the young people, bragging about his encounters with the mysterious Mr. Bennett.
Then Larry walked out of the yard, sat on the doorstep, lit a cigarette, and smoked while staring into the distance.
Time passed unknowingly, and soon it was noon, time for the banquet.
Friends and relatives who came to partake in the birthday celebration, all took their seats.
At this moment, a luxury car drove up and stopped outside the Martins yard. A middle-aged man in an expensive suit, carrying many gifts, walked in.
Seeing the person approaching, Kian instantly stood up excitedly and exclaimed, "It's the richest man in Neon City, Caius!"
Caius walked into the yard, his voice loud, saying, "Caius from the Martinez Family is here to wish Mrs. Martin a happy birthday."
As Caius spoke, the Martin family members all gasped in surprise and they were all puzzled by his visit.
Why would the richest man come here? The Martins had no connection with the Martinez.
Rowan stood up personally, with a puzzled look on his face, asked, "Mr. Martinez, what brings you here?"
Caius scanned the surroundings and saw Chloe sitting at a table.Instantly, he knelt on the ground, shocking the Martin family members.
What was going on?
Under many astonished gazes, Caius knelt and crawled towards Chloe, constantly groveling and pleading, "Chloe, please spare the Martinez Family."
Chloe was stunned, and after a few seconds of being in a daze, she quickly stood up and helped Caius up, "Caius, what are you doing? Get up."
Caius said desperately, "Chloe, if you don't agree, I won't get up."
Chloe agreed hastily, "Alright, I agree, I agree. You get up first."
Only then did Caius stand up.
Yesterday, Caius had already injured his forehead. It had just started to heal, and now it was bleeding again.
The Martin family members looked confused as they witnessed the richest man in Neon City kneeling on the ground, begging Chloe for mercy. Their gasps filled the air. What kind of powerful figure was behind Chloe?
After helping Caius up, Chloe asked, "Caius, what's going on?"
Caius apologized, "Chloe, the incident at CureAll Drugstore was the fault of the Martinez Family. I'm here to apologize and ask you to tell Neil to spare the Martinez Family."
"I don't know Neil," Chloe said, shocking Caius.
Caius was about to kneel again.
Caius was about to kneel again when Chloe hurriedly interjected, "Stop. I promise you, I'll tell Neil to spare the Martinez Family."
"Thank you," Caius said gratefully. He felt relieved and left in a hurry.
After he left, the Martin family members' eyes were all on Chloe.
Chloe looked innocent and said, "I don't know anything. Why are you all looking at me?"
One of the Martins beckoned, "Chloe, come, sit down, have some food."
Another offered, "Chloe, have a drink."
Someone else suggested, "Chloe, let me massage your shoulders."
A bunch of Martin family members surrounded Chloe.
