Alden didn't waste any time.
He gestured for his men to take Robert away, and then he turned to leave.
Just as they reached the entrance of the bar, a battered Graham finally staggered back to his feet.
The moment his eyes landed on Daniel, his expression lit up.
"Well, well. I thought you ran off, you little shit! You got a lot of nerve!"
Graham's voice dripped with fury.
He had walked in thinking he'd have a fun night with a beautiful woman.
Instead, he'd had his ass handed to him!
Graham had barely managed to drag himself back for revenge, only to get caught up in the stampede.
If not for curling up and covering their heads, he and his men might've been trampled to death!
And now, his anger boiled over seeing Daniel standing there, perfectly fine.
He pointed straight at Daniel's face and started cursing.
Alden glanced at Graham.
At first, he was curious. Then he saw the clothes and the insignia on them.
The color drained from his face.
These men were from the Obsidian Group.
Daniel also noticed that Alden's men were draped in the colors of the Obsidian Group.
"Alden, your men are pretty bold."
Alden almost cried.
Why in the world was he getting caught in this mess?
"Mr. Ashcroft, this is my fault!" His stance turned rigid, his tone submissive.
"I take full responsibility. I'll make sure to give you a proper explanation!"
Daniel clapped a hand on his shoulder.
"I don't care how you handled things before. But from now on, keep your men in line."
"Understood!"
Cold sweat trickled down Alden's back.
He watched nervously as Daniel got in his car and drove away.
Meanwhile, Graham had just gotten a good look at Alden.
He'd finally realized what he had done!
"Haha, okay. So, you think you can just ignore my orders, huh?"
Alden kicked Graham in his stomach.
"Beat him! Make sure that even his mother wouldn't be able to recognize him!"
Charlene sat on the couch, her fingers hovering over her phone.
