Everyone was dumbfounded, and even Leroy was grudgingly impressed. Jared seemed to have defeated his opponents with the barest hint of effort.
Benji had woefully underestimated Jared's abilities, and he groaned, “Get Mr. Lewis here at once!”
One of the waiters rushed off.
Everyone in the room grew nervous at the thought of Tommy's arrival. They were mere bystanders, yet Tommy's reputation preceded him.
“Jared?” Virgil called out hesitantly. He was still holding the chair from earlier.
Smiling, Jared asked, “Are you scared, Virgil?”
Virgil clenched his jaw and shook his head. “There's nothing to be scared of at this point. I'm ready to fight to the end!”
That earned him a quiet smile from Jared.
Leroy's arrogance grew as he anticipated Tommy's arrival, and he warned, “Watch out, Jared. Once Mr. Lewis is here, he'll have you hacked to pieces!”
“I can't wait,” Jared replied drily before returning to his seat, cool as a cucumber.
In fact, Tommy had been awaiting Jared's arrival on the third floor for some time now. Despite his concern over Jared's prolonged absence, he did not want to rush Jared and could only wait patiently for the latter's arrival.
A waiter burst into Tommy's room on the third floor and announced, “Mr. Lewis, there's trouble happening downstairs. Someone beat up Benji!”
“What? How dare they cause trouble in my restaurant! Is it someone from the Crimson Dragon Gang?” Tommy demanded, jumping to his feet in an instant.
He hurried downstairs as the waiter explained, “I'm not sure, but he's very strong!"
Tommy frowned. If he's strong, then he's obviously here to cause trouble. No one but the
Crimson Dragon Gang has dared to mess things up on my turf. It could be them since Steven was humiliated just days earlier!
Soon enough, Tommy came to the second floor. He kicked the door open and was about to reprimand the troublemaker until he saw Jared sitting in the room. He quickly swallowed the insults on the tip of his tongue, and he subconsciously shuddered with fear.
Oblivious to Tommy's emotions, Benji struggled to get up and croaked, “Mr. Lewis, he—"
