At that moment, everyone's expression changed instantly. As for Zayne, the chill he felt down his spine turned him sober at once.
He had not expected that by falsely claiming to know Tommy just to satisfy his ego, he would end up in such dire circumstances.
When he saw Zayne's reaction, Josh sniggered before giving Zayne a tight slap. “Why aren't you as brazen now as you were before? How dare you hit my man and even abuse Mr. Lewis' name? Looks like you have a death wish.”
Josh's slap brought Zayne back to reality. He pleaded at once, “Mr. Queen, I'm sorry.
I won't do it again. I swear I won't.”
Zayne's pleas struck home with Maria and his subordinates. They finally realized that he had been boasting all this while and never knew Tommy at all.
Upon the epiphany, all of them began to tremble, as there was no one for them to
rely on.
“Sorry?” Mr. Queen chuckled insidiously. “It's too late for that now. Prepare for your doom!”
Overwhelmed by fear, Zayne dropped to his knees with a thud. “Mr. Hoffman, I won't dare to make false claims in Mr. Lewis' name anymore. I beg of you. Please show me mercy.”
At that moment, Zayne was filled with remorse and crying like a baby.
As for the others, they were even more terrified than Zayne was. Maria stared at him in shock, as she didn't even know what to think.
After glancing at Zayne, who was on his knees, and shifting his gaze toward the rest of the group, Charlie asked, “Mr. Queen, what do you think we should do?”
Charlie handed Josh the honor. After all, he was one of the establishment's key customers.
“They're just a bunch of hot-blooded youths. There's no point in crippling them.
