"A gift?" Suzie pursed her lips. "What gift is that?"
Franklin exclaimed in agitation, "A gift which I would never think of even in my wildest dream!"
Meanwhile, a car halted all of a sudden at a crossroads in front of Rowan Lane.
"What happened?!" Looking sullen, Leonard was caught off guard by the sudden halt.
His facial muscle jolted as a result of the fright and caused a sharp pain in his right eye. He booted the driver seat madly and scowled, "Get lost if you can't drive properly!"
It was obvious why Leonard was so crossed. Not only did he lose several underlings, but he even had to swallow it and fork out money and land.
He had no choice but to surrender because Jacob was more powerful than him and he did not have a death wish. In fact, he heard that a gangster boss from a neighboring area had gone to challenge Jacob, but his underlings and he ended up dying a dog's death.
A cold chill ran down his spine, Leonard rolled his eyes and bellowed, "Why did you stop?!"
His underling at the driver seat turned around and muttered with his face as pale as a sheet. "Boss, we can't move forward. T-There's..."
"What the hell is there?!" Leonard snarled and unwound the window to crane his head out.
Immediately, a buff, gigantic figure came into sight, which made Leonard break out in cold sweat.
"Get out of the car. I need to talk to you." Gerald beckoned to Leonard. Despite the former wearing loose sportswear, his strong muscles couldn't be concealed.
"B-Boss, how can I help you?" At that moment, the usually hideous Leonard behaved like a helpless lamb as he quickly got out of the car.
Gerald shot an indifferent glance at him and uttered, "Boss is quite satisfied with your performance, so he pardoned your previous offense."
Hearing that, Leonard heaved a sigh of relief. Thank god! I'm finally safe!
A ferocious glow flashed through Gerald's eyes. "Mind you. Don't linger around this street anymore in the future unless you have a death wish!"
Perceiving the horrifying aura, Leonard gritted his teeth and nodded quickly. "Don't worry, Boss. Roger that!"
Gerald was a bloodthirsty, ruthless goon, so of course Leonard was terrified of him.
From today onward, I won't set foot in this area anymore, let alone this street!
Soon, nightfall came. The pub street situated at the northwest corner of South Precinct became lively. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Amidst the crowd, a group of youthful-looking chicks at the corner of the street was extraordinarily eye- catching.
"Why are we here?"
Looking at the colorful neon lights around the street, Janelle wore an uncomfortable and reluctant look. It was the first time she visited a place like this.
Cindy Worlon, who had light makeup on her beautiful face and tied her hair into a ponytail, giggled and said, "This is a fun place, Janelle!"
"Cindy's right!" Yasmine Lance, who had a pair of long legs, was the host of the night. She held Janelle's arm and said, "Just enjoy yourselves tonight and don't worry about the others!"
Another girl who wore heavy makeup chuckled. "Hey Yasmine, did you find a sugar daddy?"
"That sounds disgusting!" Yasmine rolled her eyes at the girl and retorted with a snobbish smile. "He's just a portable ATM."
"You're right. An ATM that can talk, walk, and give you warmth!" The girl with heavy makeup grinned.
Meanwhile, the other girls broke out in laughter too after exchanging glances with each other, which attracted the attention of the passers-by.
