Chapter 10: How About Lying in the Hospital for Half a Year?
1357 Words
Back at the Pierrot Group's construction site, several cars sped through the gate and headed for the building where the company's headquarters was located. The doors opened, and several young men alighted from the vehicles. Then, with Paul in the lead, they barged into the multistoried building.
Boom, boom, boom...
A thunderous sound of footsteps echoed from downstairs to upstairs.
"Haha, they're here! Boy, you're so dead!" Dominick was excited. Despite his broken leg, he used the wooden desk to prop himself up and appear more dignified.
"Even if you kneel on the ground and start begging for mercy, it's too late now! Today, you'll understand who has the final say in Lisle!"
Before the words could land, Paul entered the office.
Behind him, his subordinates, all in black suits and sunglasses, filled the corridor, exuding overwhelming killing intent.
Dominick straightened up, his face full of ferocity. "Kid, do you know who's coming? My brother-in-law, Paul."
"Are you afraid now? If you're afraid? Huh! In my eyes, the Hartleys family means nothing. You dare to come for settlement today? I'll kill you first, then go to the Hartleys family to claim medical expenses for my brothers."
"Damn, why are you so quiet? Weren't you good at fighting?"
"Now, I order you to kneel down and beg me!"
Boom!
Adam kicked Dominick into the corner of the wall.
Wow, Dominick spouted a stream of blood, staring with disbelief.
"Why, why... d*mn it, Paul, quickly let your men kill him!"
Paul's face darkened. "Kid, being the first one to hit my people in front of me, you're the first. How do you want to die today?"
Katie was shocked and hurriedly pleaded, "Mr. Booker, we didn't know about your relationship with Mr. Pierrot. We don't want this settlement anymore. Please let us go."
Yes, that expression.
Fear, trembling!
Dominick laughed maniacally, extremely pleased. "Begging for mercy? Hahaha... kneel down first! Today, I'll let you know the difference in status, what it means to provoke someone unaffordable."
"Kid, you used to be so powerful, right? Now, why are you a coward? Do you need your wife to plead for you? Even if you willingly give her to me now, it won't work. No one can save you now."
"Sorry, sorry! Adam, why are you still standing? Quickly apologize to Mr. Booker," Katie urged with a pale face.
It's not that Katie is timid, but she has never witnessed such a situation. The thought of dealing with people from the underworld made her shiver.
Adam squinted his eyes and took a step forward. "Don't you recognize me?"
"Haha, who do you think you are? A loser who came knocking on the door wants my brother-in-law to recognize you? Stop daydreaming," Dominick mocked.
However, Paul frowned, feeling a faint unease. He seemed to have overlooked something.
"Am I supposed to know you?" He decided not to act immediately.
Adam's momentum was too strong. Facing hundreds of people without any fear, he exuded a dominating aura, as if he could single-handedly suppress the entire scene. Moreover, he had defeated all of Dominick's subordinates, which was a clear demonstration of strength.
Adam snorted, "Call Black Dragon and ask if he knows someone named Adam."
Black Dragon?
Paul's eyes widened as he finally remembered what he had overlooked. Black Dragon had mentioned sending a photo of "Drake the Dragon" to him, but he was too hasty and hadn't checked his phone.
Could it be...
In an instant, Paul broke out in a cold sweat. Trembling, he took out his phone and glanced at the face...
Thud.
Paul's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing rapidly. "I'm sorry, I was blind, offended by your grandeur, please forgive me. I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."
Slap, slap.
Paul slapped himself twice.
Dominick's face turned from arrogance to horror. His subordinates were also frozen in place.
A couple of quick-witted subordinates tried to step forward to help Paul up.
But Paul scolded without lifting his head, "All of you, get out!"
Katie, "???"
What's going on? Why did Paul suddenly kneel?
"Please forgive me, please forgive me..." Paul continued kowtowing, seemingly afraid that he would keep doing this if Adam didn't speak.
What dignity? What status and identity? What face in front of the boss?
All of it didn't matter!
Being alive mattered!
Today, Black Dragon specially reminded him to keep an eye on his subordinates, not to let anyone with a lack of vision confront Drake the Dragon. And now, he himself had walked right into the trap.
This was a man even Black Dragon respectfully called "Drake the Dragon"!
This was Drake the Dragon!
Paul felt like he wanted to die!
"Paul, what are you doing? Why are you kowtowing to him?" Dominick anxiously asked.
He had finally waited for this powerful support, but in the blink of an eye, his reliance was kneeling in front of the enemy. What kind of situation was this? In Dominick's mind, Paul was invincible in Lisle, and he found it difficult to accept the current situation.
"F**k, kneel down for me!" Paul turned around and scolded angrily.
Dominick became even more anxious. "Brother-in-law, my mother is your mother-in-law!"
"F**k..."
Boom!
Paul suddenly erupted, rushing over and kicking Dominick in the face. Dominick's nasal bridge collapsed instantly, and he became unrecognizable.
"You bastard, I'll deal with you today."
Bang, bang.
Paul scolded and kicked, leaving Dominick bewildered.
"Paul, brother-in-law, stop fighting, I'll kneel, I'll kneel." Dominick, covered in blood, said in a pitiful manner.
Paul tore Dominick and threw him in front of Adam.
Thud.
Kneeling again, Paul said, "I beg you to spare his life, please, I beg you..."
Dominick, looking at Adam with a calm expression, felt a sense of resentment and anger. He still couldn't accept it and said, "Brother-in-law, you... you should be here to help me."
"Shut up! If you say one more word, I'll throw you off the building. Kneel!" Paul was sweating profusely, his eyes red with urgency.
For the first time, Dominick saw Paul so fearful. Without hesitation, he knelt down in front of Adam.
"Sorry, sorry... It's all my fault, I was blind and stupid. Please forgive me." Dominick begged for mercy.
Katie stared in astonishment, her mind blank.
Was this still the fierce Dominick from a moment ago?
Adam asked calmly, "Shouldn't you repay the debt to Hartley Group?"
"I should, I should. I'll prepay all the debts to Hartley Group. Let me prepay for two years... No, no, five years. Ten years, ten years are fine too."
Adam asked again, "How did you find out about my identity?"
"It was Peter Hartley. He said that as long as I got rid of you guys, I would no longer have to pay the Hartleys. He even said that he would give me a big contract."
Sure enough, him!
Cold light flashed in Adam's eyes.
Katie was also surprised and asked in disbelief, "He asked you to kill us?"
"He said... he said... I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Dominick quickly apologized, but he didn't dare to repeat Peter's original words. Apparently, they weren't pleasant.
Katie clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white with anger.
Adam continued, "Record this incident in a video and then... go lie in the hospital for half a year."
"What do you mean? I've already been honest..." Dominick suddenly looked terrified.
"Thank you, thank you," Paul quickly expressed gratitude.
With that, Paul waved his hand and shouted, "Come, break Dominick's hands and legs, ribs..."
Paul glanced at Adam secretly and added, "Leave him with a breath, let him lie in the hospital for half a year, not a day or an hour less."
"Paul, brother-in-law! No!" Dominick retreated in fear.
"Katie, let's go." Adam didn't want Katie to witness the upcoming cruelty.
Bending down, Adam picked up the money bag from the ground and left with Katie.
"Allow me to personally see you off."
Paul got up and led Adam and Katie to the elevator, delivering them downstairs.
As they got out of the building, they heard Dominick's cries coming from the roof…
