Chapter 24

Stanley was flabbergasted. It took him a moment to process what Wilbur had just said and burst outlaughing.

He gave Wilbur a murderous stare. “Young man, do you know who this guy here is? He’s LightningHank, the head of the Black Tiger Gang! They run Seechertown’s underground scene. I think you don’tunderstand what’s going on here.”

“The Black Tiger Gang? Lightning Hank? Wilbur asked calmly. He then added, “I’ve never heard ofthem.”

Those words made Stanley lose his, cool. Just as he was about to shout back at Wilbur, LightningHank said, “What a stubborn little guy! You don’t know who I am? I guess I’ll just have to show youtoday.”

Faye hurried to say, “Sir, please don’t! You just want money, right? I can give you as much of it as yourwant. Please don’t hurt us. We can talk this through.”novelbin

Lightning Hank retorted coldly. “Why would I need to talk things through with you? You think that theCape Consortium is that powerful, do you? You’re in Seechertown, and I’m the boss here! You might beloaded, but will you be alive to spend it?”

Wilbur glanced at Lightning Hank calmly and said, “I wouldn’t get any ideas if I were you. I caneffortlessly. Just be good. You’ll get hurt if you don’t listen to me.”

-Faye panicked upon hearing those words.

Wilbur had always been aware of the extent of his abilities. Why was he provoking Lightning Hank andStanley like that all of a sudden? Did he have a death wish?

Lightning Hank broke out laughing when he heard that. He shook his head and said, “I’ve never heardanyone talk down to me like this in the past two decades. Honestly, I’m rather surprised.”

“Let her go, or I’ll have more surprises in store for you,” Wilbur said calmly.

Lightning Hank’s gaze flashed coldly, and he said in a solemn tone, ‘Chop his legs off. See if he canstill act this cocky after that.”

“Yes, sir.” One of his men walked toward Wilbur, brandishing a big cleaver.

Faye panicked. “Please don’t get violent! I’ll give you all the money you want! Let’s talk this through!The Cape Consortium has all the money in the world!”

“I’ll take the money, but I’m going to teach this guy a lesson as well,” Lightning Hank scoffed coldly.

Anyone who humiliated him or his men would have to pay. It was no longer about the money.

Stanley was excited, his gaze flashing wildly.

Everything that had happened to him was caused by that b*stard. Even chopping him up would not beenough to make him feel better.

Just then, Wilbur’s phone rang. He took a look and asked, “Can I take a call?”

Lightning Hank raised a hand for his men to pause, staring at Wilbur smugly. “I’ll give you a chance.You can call the cops or whomever you want. Let’s see if anyone wants to meddle in this and get on mybad. side.”

Wilbur shook his head with a smile and then accepted the call.

*Mister Penn, this is Gordon Grayson. My father would like to invite you over for a drink. I’m In front ofyour house, but no one’s home.”

Wilbur fell silent. “I’m out running some errands. It might be a while.”

“What errands? Do you need help?” Gordon was trying hard to show that he was sorry to Wilbur

Wilbur glanced at Faye. “My employee’s been kidnapped.”

“What? By whom? Where?” Gordon flew into a rage at once.

Wilbur replied calmly, “Copperhead Factory. It’s up north.”

“Mister Penn, please hold out for a while. I’ll be there in ten minutes,” Gordon said hurriedly beforehanging up

At the same time, a member of the special services brigade received an order. They gathered withinthree minutes, armed up, and headed off to Copperhead Factory at once with no less than thirtymilitary vehicles.

Wilbur hung up and then turned to look at Lightning Hank. “Can you wait ten minutes? Someone mightwant to see you.”

Lightning Hank broke out into peals of laughter. “Ten minutes? How about I give you half an hour? I’dlike to see who has the nerve to get involved in this.”
