However, Steven was still smiling when he saw the trickle of blood at the corner of Francis' mouth. The very next moment, Francis fell to the ground and became unconscious.
Steven was in shock, and the smile on his face froze.
“Mr. Chance, I'm so sorry... Please spare my life, Mr. Chance...” Steven fell to his knees. “Mr. Chance, please spare my life. I'm willing to give you everything I have and leave Horington forever!”
Steven was trembling all over, and he was freaking out. At that moment, he felt like an ant that could be crushed to death at any second.
As for Felix, he was slumped on the ground in a daze as he endured in silence. All the while, he had thought that Steven, as the gang leader, had found some backup so that they would not have to be fearful of Jared anymore. Yet little did he expect such an outcome.
Jared had wanted to get rid of Steven as well, but after hearing what he said, he thought otherwise. Right now, he needed money, and Steven was loaded.
“Well then, I will spare your life. Leave Horington!”
Jared waved his hand.
Relieved, Steven bowed and quickly ran off.
Jared told Tommy, “Tommy, now that Steven is gone, you will take over his assets and the gang!”
Tommy responded weakly, “Okay.”
It seemed that Tommy had suffered a huge blow. He had thought that the enhancement pill would make him invincible. Instead, he was beaten by a young chap.
Looking at Tommy's crestfallen face, Jared patted his back and smiled. “Don't take it to heart. Work hard and make more money. One of these days, I will produce a pill that is more powerful than what you had. I assure you, it will make you unbeatable!”
“Really?” Tommy's eyes lit up.
