Chapter 299: What Would He Choose?

“You have some foreign currencies, don’t you?

Drop all the money you have here as compensation.” The atmosphere instantly shifted.

Little Sweetie “…” Ekene “..!” John “.!!” Karen “!!!” Abuchi “..?” The crowd “???” People gasped.

“What?” “All the money?” “You’ve got to be kidding,” someone whispered behind them.

The leader glanced at his dazed brother again, who was still holding his jaw and blinking like he had forgotten what day it was.

“From the looks of it,” he continued, “we might have to get an MRI.

Who knows if you’ve damaged his face, or worse, his brain.” Abuchi’s crew stared at the man like he had just grown three heads.

Karen scoffed aloud.

Ekene narrowed his eyes.

John’s hand slowly curled into a fist.

Abuchi himself looked stunned for a second before he stepped forward, jaw tightening.

“Didn’t you just say your brother was the one who caused the problem?” he said firmly, his voice low but steady, carrying an edge that made some of the younger ruffians flinch.

“You said he was all bark, no bite.

You said you’ve warned him before.

So why,” Abuchi asked, his eyes boring into the leader, “am I the one who now has to either be beaten or robbed?

Where is the sincerity in your apology now?” The leader sighed.

It was not loud, but it felt cold.

Calculated.

“I meant what I said,” he replied with a shrug.

“My apology was sincere…

but my loyalty to my brother is also firm.

I have to give him some satisfaction, one way or another.” His voice was calm, but there was something dangerous underneath it.

Like a river that looked still but could drown ships.

“So choose,” he said, turning away as if he was already bored.
