Chapter 623: Chapter 623 Touching Porcin_1


    “Yo-ho!” the bearded man stepped forward, sneering at Reba Brown, “Kid, with your puny frame, you dare to go against our Lord Ridge?”


    Reba Brown came from an intellectual background and always dressed in a refined manner.


    At Aron Jackson’spany, she was in charge of finance.


    How much money they collected was entirely up to her.


    However, that didn’t mean Reba Brown was soft-hearted.


    If it came down to it, she could be many times more ruthless than those thugs.


    “Oh?”


    Hearing the man’s threat, Reba Brown lightly pushed her ck square-framed sses up her nose and said with a fake smile, “Lord Ridge? May I ask, which Lord Ridge is this?”


    “Is it Abraham Ridge, or Qualin Ridge?”


    Faced with the questioning, the bearded man’s face flushed red, somewhat upset, “It’s Darnell Ridge, Lord Ridge!”


    The two people Reba Brown just mentioned were quite reputable bosses in Gonzalez City.


    Inparison to those two, Darnell Ridge was hardly in the same league.


    “Darnell Ridge?” Reba Brown thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, “Never heard of him. Break one leg each, throw them out.”


    Finished speaking, sheughed looking at Elwood Thorneycroft, “I apologize for making Miss Thorneycroft witness this.”


    “Not at all, they should learn their lesson if even Boss Brown doesn’t recognize them.”


    Elwood Thorneycroft nodded with a smile.


    Whoosh!


    No sooner had the words fallen than the two groups started fighting.


    The bearded man was skilled, but he was quickly taken down by Reba Brown’s bodyguards with just two moves, wailing in pain.


    “You dare hit my people!”


    Darnell Ridge’s face darkened as he and his brothers gathered around.


    “Kid, you look like a wealthy man. Here’s the deal,pensate me with half a million and we’ll call it even!”


    He needed money, and Reba Brown gave off the vibe of a big boss,


    The kind of big boss who was stupid but had a lot of money.


    “Your employees injured my brother. If he ends up in the hospital, the cost won’t stop there, and you’ll be implicated too,” Darnell Ridge said with a grin. “For someone of your status, it would be a loss not worth the gain if you got locked up, right?”


    This was his usual extortion tactic, especially effective against these sessful individuals—tried and true.


    No one would want to waste their time over such a trifle.


    A few hundred thousand was nothing for the wealthy; to them, it was mere pocket change.


    “Extortion? Or are we talking about a scam?” Reba Brown was first surprised, thenughed turning to Elwood Thorneycroft, “They’ve brought the scam to me!”


    She was once among the most powerful people under Aron Jackson, and though her current role with Fabian Percival wasn’t as prestigious as before, she remained a local powerhouse.


    She didn’t take a small fry like Darnell Ridge seriously at all.


    “What’s wrong? Don’t want to pay?” Seeing Reba Brown’s joking demeanor, Darnell Ridge became furious.


    “Pay! Of course, I’ll pay!”


    Reba Brownughed, pointing with her finger towards the private room, “My money’s in there,e in with me.”


    “That’s more like it!” Seeing her concede, Darnell Ridge beamed with joy, waving to those behind him, “Let’s go, guys! Dinner and drinks on me tonight, plus a special treat!”


    “Let’s go!”


    “Smart thinking!”


    These people had no idea that endless peril awaited them.


    Miss Thorneycroft didn’t enter, but stood at the door instead.


    She despised her husband’s vile behavior and looked down on it.


    “Move!” Cooper Ridge broke free from the restraints behind him and gave a cold snort before swaggering into the private room in front of Reba Brown.


    Only after they entered the private room did they realize it was packed with people.


    At least thirty or forty people were gathered around arge round table.


    And they all had a murderous aura, with unfriendly gazes.


    “Boss!”


    On seeing Reba Brown enter the private room, the group stood up collectively and greeted in unison.


    “Boss?”


    This shout terrified Darnell Ridge, making his whole body tremble.


    He knew he had entered the wolf’s den.


    When he turned back, he found Reba Brown smiling at him.


    “That, I’ve got something else, we can forget about the medical fee, let’s just be friends,” Darnell Ridge said with an awkward smile and turned to leave.


    Whoosh!


    Just then, the door to the private room was suddenly closed.


    Several burly men stood at the door, blocking Darnell Ridge’s path, “Do you think this ce is where you cane and go as you please?”


    “Boss, what’s going on?”


    A man with a scarred face stepped out of the crowd, pointing at Darnell Ridge and his group, “Who are these people?”


    “That kid at the door just pushed me,” Reba Brown pointed at Cooper Ridge, then towards Darnell Ridge, “This gentleman is the father of the person who pushed me, here to demand medical fees.”


    “Fuck! Tired of living, huh! You even dare to extort Boss Brown!”


    The man with the scarred face brandished a chair menacingly and walked over.


    “Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!”


    Seeing the man with the scarred face, Darnell Ridge knew this was not someone to be trifled with.


    He definitely had blood on his hands.


    “Misunderstanding?” Reba Brown said with a cold snicker, “Just now, you were so arrogant, insisting on half a million.”


    With those words finished, the crowd erupted.


    “Half a million? You’ve really got the gall!”


    “Boss, take him out!”


    “Ignorant fool, daring even to extort Boss Brown?”


    Everyone’s face was filled with anger, as they all stood up and surrounded him.


    “Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!”


    Darnell Ridge’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.


    Now he deeply regretted it, realizing he had offended a boss!


    Whoosh!


    “Go to hell!”


    The man with the scarred face flung the stool he was holding, striking down an employee next to Darnell Ridge and knocking him to the ground.


    Blood kept flowing out, frightening the rest who were backed up against the door, their faces pale.


    “Brother, can you give me a chance, I know I was wrong!”


    Facing such a formidable person, Darnell Ridge slowly knelt down, raised his hands, and lowered his head to the ground, “Boss, I didn’t recognize Mount Tai, please let me off as a fart! I beg you!”


    Leading a few so-called friends to intimidate ordinary people was one thing.


    Now faced with a real serpent of the territory, his spirit was immediately broken.


    “Just outside, weren’t you quite bold?” Reba Brown asked, hands in pockets and smiling at Cooper Ridge, “Young man, you’re pretty strong, huh!”


    “Sorry… I… I didn’t mean it…” Cooper Ridge’s courage was thoroughly chilled by now.


    With a room full of various bosses, what could he contend with?


    “Which hand did you push with just now?” Reba Brown asked with a smile, showing no sign of anger on her face.


    “This… this one… Ah!”


    As soon as Cooper Ridge stretched out his right hand, it was grabbed by the man with the scarred face and pinned against the wall, and he fiercely broke a finger!


    “Don’t rush! This is just the beginning!” the scarred-faced man chuckled, his elbow mming directly into the back of Cooper Ridge’s head.


    Whoosh!


    The sheer force caused Cooper Ridge’s head to hit the wall, knocking him out cold.


    “Boss, watch how I wake up this guy pretending to be asleep.”


    After saying that, the man with the scarred face slowly ced his hand on another finger of Cooper Ridge and broke it again!


    Crack!


    “Ah… pain… I beg… I beg you guys…”


    The excruciating pain caused Cooper Ridge’s body to shake, his face instantly turning pale.


    At the sound of her son’s screams, Damien Leopold was momentarily stunned, then immediately turned around and rushed towards the ‘Purple Qi Coming from the East’ private room.
