Jordan became confused. He looked at Charles, “What, what do you mean by this?”
Charles raised his eyebrows and smiled, “You seem to like to solve a problem violently, and I like to solve it in this way too.”
"You!" Jordan pointed at Charles, “You liar!”
Charles laughed even louder and arrogantly. He sneered at Jordan, “Did I say I wouldn't raise my hands to you?”
Someone leaned close to Jordan's ear and said, “He didn't seem to say that.”
Jordan had a feeling of being fooled. He kicked the man who spoke and rebuked, “You have no right to bother my business.”
“Are you crazy, Jordan?” the man was clutching his stomach and bending down after Jordan kicked him. He glared at Jordan.
"I've not afraid of anyone!" Jordan's face became ferocious. He pulled out a dagger from his waist and went to Charles's men to stab.
The men were formidable. One of the men caught Jordan's wrist when he just moved, and he wrenched Jordan's wrist in a backhand. The dagger fell to the ground.
Charles wanted to punish the people who bullied Lacey in the past with legal procedures. However, he would like to let Jordan suffered before he took legal action.
“Go ahead and do it. I'll settle everything as long as you guys don't beat these punks until dead.”
The people had no scruple to beat the punks since Charles had said that he would settle it. They took out baseball bats and furiously beat Jordan and his men with aim.
Jordan and his men wanted to fight back, but Charles had too many people, several beat one. They had no power to fight back.
Charles pulled off a landslide victory for the fight in which Jordan and his men were crying for mercy.
Some of them, who were crying, begged for mercy, “I beg you don't beat anymore. I don't dare to do it again.”
They were holding their heads and curling themselves up like a hedgehog when being beat on the ground.
“That's right. We are not purposely come to pick a fight. It's Jordan who called us to come. It's all because of Jordan.”
“You people are such a group of cowards!” Jordan hated these weakling guys, who were begging for mercy after taking a few beating. They could win the fight if they were willing to fight with all their might.
Charles sat calmly and instructed Amelia, “Bring a chair for Ms. Flores. We can't see this kind of scene often.”
Dolores frowned. It was the first time she saw such a violent and cold-blooded Charles.
“These people are lack lessons. They must be thinking that I will send them to the police custody for few days and come out from there, and everything will be okay. After that, they will still do all the terrible things. I'll teach them a lesson for their parents today and also teach them how to do a human being.”
“Ms. Flores,” Amelia moved the chair to Dolores's back.
Dolores did not want to watch such a violent scene. The crowd of the punks had been silent for a long time. She could only hear the noises of the baseball bats hitting on the people.
Charles turned his head and looked at Dolores, “Do you think I'm cruel?”
Dolores pursed her lips and remained silent. There were so many kindnesses and evils in the world, and she could not judge them since she was only a small human being.
She subconsciously agreed with Charles's way of doing this. However, she was unwilling to look it in her eyes.
Tom walked over to Charles and asked, “What to do next?”
Charles looked at Tom, and he was dissatisfied with Tom's question. How could Tom not understand his mind since Tom had worked for him for a long time?
Tom realized, “Send to the police custody,” after he spoke, he settled the beaten and unconscious punks.
“Mr. White,” A civil, thin man walked over to Charles.
He was the leader of these people, and they were gang as well and seemed acquainted well with Charles.
“Tell your boss that I'll take this favor, and I'll pay him to visit myself next time,” Charles spoke to the man.
The man smiled, “I'll pass the message on to him. I'll leave the aftermath to Mr. White and go on with the men first.”
Charles nodded.
After about ten minutes, Charles's men had cleaned up the front of the villa. Charles checked the time, “It's almost noon. Let's have lunch together.”
