That man is prominent enough to make even the boss kneel, yet this punk actually asked me to go teach him a lesson. This is clearly an act of sabotage!
It was fortunate that Craig was there. If not, the consequences would be unimaginable if Goldie had really beaten up Harold.
At the thought of this, Goldie looked at Gordon with eyes full of resentment. With a yelled order from him, more than two dozen of his underlings all started punching and kicking Gordon.
“Goldie... Y-You... Mom, Brittany, help me!”
As he was getting beaten up by Goldie and the rest, Gordon became confused. He did not understand what was happening.
“Stop! What are you jerks doing? Why are you beating up my son...”
Mandy and Brittany were confused by the sudden turn of events. They did not understand why the people that Gordon had asked for help from would beat him up.
“Beat up those b*tches too!”
At the sound of Mandy's voice, Goldie, caught up in his rage, shouted a ruthless order, not sparing the women.
Screams came from outside the café.
The family of three was badly beaten and bruised when Goldie and the others finally left.
“Gordon, didn't you say that you were close with Goldie? What's going on?”
After Goldie and the others left, Mandy and Brittany dragged their aching bodies over to help Gordon up. They had puzzled expressions.
“Ouch! Be careful of my back. I used to have a very close relationship with Goldie. The pocket money that Brittany would give me was usually used to treat them to eat and drink. I don't know what happened to them today. Maybe they went crazy.”
Gordon was still in a daze.
Brittany thought for a while before suggesting to them, “Something must have gone wrong inside. Let's go in and see.”
Mandy led the way as the three of them walked into the café.
Soon, they saw Craig and James, who were still standing outside the room.
When Gordon spotted Craig, he was shocked.
At that moment, he understood why Goldie and the others were acting so strangely.
“Stop! Stop! Let's leave quickly.”
Gordon pulled Mandy and Brittany away and ran outside.
After coming out, Brittany asked Gordon with a puzzled face, “Gordon, what's wrong with you? We haven't found that b*stard, Harold, yet. How could you drag us away?”
Mandy had the same expression on her face.
“Did you see the two people just now? The tall and big man with a scar on his face is Goldie's boss, Craig. It is said that this high-end café belongs to Craig's friend, James 'Moneybags' Smith. Craig must have seen Goldie bringing his men to his friend's turf to cause trouble and taught him a lesson. That's why they were so angry with us and started beating us,” explained Gordon confidently.
He often hung out with Goldie and the rest. Therefore, he was familiar with Craig's face and recognized him. He had also heard things about James.
“Then... What are we going to do about our money? Are we going to just let this matter go?” Mandy asked with an anxious face.
“Mom, of course we're getting the money back from that punk. However, now is not the time. We'd better go back first,” replied Gordon. He was feeling a little fearful.
With that, he forcefully dragged Mandy home.
When the three of them got home, they saw Richard sitting by the landline phone. He was holding the handset as he stared off into space.
