Of course, Alexander wouldn't tell Quinn too much. He certainly wouldn't admit that he was here to apologize to someone, as it would compromise his status. He simply told Quinn that he was here to deliver a gift.
"Oh? Who are you giving the gift to? A man or a woman?" Quinn asked, puzzled.
"A man. What's the big deal? Do I need to report back to you on who this person is?" Alexander snapped.
"No! No! Of course not... hehe!" Quinn laughed awkwardly.
After hanging up the phone, he looked surprised for a moment before becoming even more excited.
"Dad, what's going on?" Dillon asked with confusion as he saw his father's changing expressions.
"You know what? Mr. Austin actually came all this way just to give someone a gift! Can you believe it?! With Mr. Austin's status and reputation, who could this person be that deserves such special treatment from him?"
As excitement and anticipation shone in his eyes, Quinn continued, "And most importantly... this important figure is also male! Hahaha! That's great news!"
"Really? If there is someone whom Mr. Austin wants so badly to please with gifts in Edoland... we only need some connection with them and we can walk sideways in Edoland from now on!" Dillon exclaimed excitedly.
The next second they both turned their attention towards Allison who was tied up there; an evil grin appeared on their faces!
The Hodge family had made it big thanks solely due her presence; ha-ha-who said women were bad luck?
Allison was their lucky star!
However, at that moment, they heard some commotion outside which sounded like chaos breaking out somewhere nearby...
"Hmm? What happened?" Quinn frowned slightly
"I don't know either! Let me go check with Black Scorpion." Dillon said as he walked out of the basement accompanied by Black Scorpion
When they got upstairs and saw what was happening within the courtyard of the winery - several bodyguards had been beaten down onto the ground while screaming miserably - both men's faces changed drastically upon seeing one tall figure standing nearby exuding an icy aura...
"Lachlan?" Dillon cried out in surprise when recognizing him immediately.
Immediately, a hint of hostility appeared on his face as he sneered, "You still came here? What, you want to force me to buy your pills? Didn't I say I don't have time for that tonight?"
Lachlan stared at him with a cold voice and asked, "Where is Allison?"
Hearing this question, Dillon thought to himself that this guy must be here for Allison. "How should I know!"
Lachlan snorted and walked directly towards the villa. Dillon had come out from there earlier and Lachlan suspected that Allison was inside the villa.
"Black Scorpion, kill him! Damn it!" Dillon's expression suddenly turned fierce as he pointed at Lachlan.
"Yes, Mr. Hodge!" Black Scorpion responded fiercely and charged towards Lachlan with great momentum. When he reached Lachlan's side, a cruel look appeared on his face as he pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and slashed it towards Lachlan's throat! This guy was wanted by the law and an outlaw who always used deadly moves when attacking.
"Die!" A wicked smile appeared on Black Scorpion's face.
However, in just an instant moment of lightning speed movement, Lachlan flicked his hand causing Black Scorpion's knife to fly out of his hand directly! The force behind it made Black Scorpion feel numbness in his whole arm which started bleeding profusely!
