Chapter 213 The Carter Family Begs for Mercy
Larry was deep in thought, cooking up a plan.
He was set on wiping out the Carter Family, making it clear to everyone that even though he’d stepped down, he could still crush a family with ease.
Justin’s threat had Chloe shaking in her boots.
She broke down, begging, "Mr. Carter, I messed up, please give me another shot."
The pain ripping through Justin’s body left him speechless. Same deal with Timothy.
After Larry’s attack, it felt like his whole body was on fire and crawling with bugs.
Right then, he remembered Larry’s other gig—miracle doctor.
Word on the street was that the Black Dragon was not only a beast in strength but also a medical genius who could save or end lives.
Larry’s words, "You won’t last three days," had him scared out of his mind.
Fear gripped him, and he wanted to get up and beg for mercy.
But every muscle and bone felt like it was being chewed on by bugs, the pain was unreal.
He wanted to black out, but he stayed painfully awake.
"Mr. Bennett, please spare me," Timothy croaked from the ground.
Even though his voice was weak, everyone heard it and thought they were hearing things.
Timothy, begging for mercy?
Larry squatted down, yanked Timothy up, and said coldly, "Still thinking about going after the Lewis Family?"
"No, no way. Mr. Bennett, please spare me," Timothy stammered, shaking all over.
The pain had him so twisted up, veins were popping out on his face.
Larry tapped a few spots on Timothy’s body.
Finally, the pain eased up, and Timothy collapsed, drenched in sweat.
Larry turned to Chloe and said, "Chloe, let’s bounce. The Carter Family won’t mess with the Lewis Family."
Chloe hesitated. Larry glanced back at Timothy on the ground and asked, "Timothy, right?"
"Yes, yes." Timothy struggled to his feet, dragged himself to Chloe, and said, "Chloe, I’m really sorry, it was all a big misunderstanding. The Carter Family won’t retaliate against the Lewis Family. You can go."
Chloe finally exhaled, bowing deeply to Timothy and the big shots of Sunset City. "I’m sorry," she said, then followed Larry out.
The elites in the villa were stunned. Was it really over just like that?
They were all set for some drama, but it ended just like that?
Chloe left, and the engagement party wrapped up. The big shots started leaving one by one.
Justin got hauled off to the hospital, cursing, "I’m so pissed, I won’t be satisfied until Larry’s dead."
Timothy stood by, looking dark, and said coldly, "He’s not one of the Five Great Marshals anymore, but he’s still so cocky. Larry, just wait. The Lewis Family will face the wrath of the Five-State Business Alliance, and the Epoch Group will get its revenge."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Alexander walked in with gifts, grinning, "Mr. Carter, I came to see you."
Justin barked, "Alexander, go kidnap Chloe for me. I want the Lewis Family to know what happens when you mess with the Carter Family."
"No problem, Mr. Carter, I got this."
The Lewis Family was fuming.
Chloe was still in that wedding dress worth thirty-eight million dollars.
She plopped down on the couch, staring at the grim faces of the Lewis Family, and said, "Dad, Mom, don’t blame Larry. He did it for me since we’re still married. This is on me."
Maria shot up and slapped her. "Larry’s being an idiot, and you’re just as bad?"
"Do I need to remind you who Justin is? And don’t you know who Larry is? How can he stack up against Justin? Today at the Carter Family, with just one word, you could’ve sent Larry packing, but you didn’t."
Maria looked super regretful. This was the closest she’d come to having a powerful son-in-law. But Larry ruined it all.
A red handprint instantly bloomed on Chloe’s fair face.
She covered her face with her hand, tears welling up, and cried, "What does this have to do with me? This whole mess was because of Sam. If he hadn’t stolen my money, none of this would’ve happened!"
"You still dare to talk back?" Maria was fuming and raised her hand to slap again.
Chloe suddenly stood up and shouted, "It was his fault, why should I take the blame?"
Sam stood up, looking annoyed, saying, "Chloe, you can’t pin this on me. If it weren’t for me, how could you have married into the Carter Family? Everything I did was for nothing, all ruined by Larry."
Larry sat on the side, smoking. He didn’t want to get too involved in the Lewis Family’s drama.
There was a knock on the door.
Scott went to open it, finding someone from the Carter Family.
They came to the Lewis Family to reclaim the ten-million-dollar wedding gift and the pricey wedding dress Chloe was wearing.
But the Carter Family said they didn’t want the worn dress back; so Chloe had to pay for it at full price.
They didn't plan to take back the gift and demanded the Lewis Family pay for it within three days. If not, the Carters would take legal action.
"It’s over, it’s over." Sam collapsed on the couch, muttering, "I knew the Carters wouldn't let this slide. This is just the start. Next, they'll definitely come after the Lewis Family.
The Lewis Family were all fuming.
Where would they get that kind of money?
Larry’s face was dark. At the Carter Family, Timothy had said there’d be no retaliation, but now they were gunning for the Lewis Family.
It seemed that unless the Carter Family was taken down, this wouldn’t end.
"Larry, what should we do?" Chloe was also at a loss, anxiously asking, "The Lewis Family doesn’t have that kind of money."
Larry waved his hand slightly and said, "Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll handle it."
Larry really didn’t take the Carter Family seriously.
"I’m heading out for a bit."
Larry stood up, looked at the tearful Chloe, and said, "I told you I can solve any problem. In the future, if you run into something you can’t handle, you gotta tell me first, okay? As your husband, I don’t want everyone else to know before I do."
"Okay." Chloe nodded tearfully. With his confident words, Chloe believed him inexplicably.
Larry left, heading to the Carter Family, planning to teach them another lesson.
As soon as he left, Alexander barged into the Lewis Family with his men and forcibly tied up Sam and Chloe.
"By nightfall, gather 1.8 billion dollars and bring it to Willow Creek Lodge, or be ready to collect their bodies." Alexander left this and took Chloe and Sam away.
