Walking up to Ferry, Andy sat beside him and greeted him with a cold smile, pouring himself a cup of wine and tasting its flavor. "A good taste!"
"Take it if you like it." Ferry offered the bottle of wine to Andy respectfully, "Andy, I think, you'd better just stay out of it."
"I am surely involved in this case, considering the relationship between me and Autumn." Andy replied in a calm and composed manner.
"But you've already given up the old business." Ferry was shocked that Andy decided to protect Autumn. Andy used to have a overriding prestige in the gangland, but he had long quit the industry.
While Ferry was no more than an novice involved in the gang affairs, Andy had absented himself from the gang world and established his family. But Ferry had been bombarded with Andy's exploits.
Ferry had thought of Andy's influence when evolving his scheme against Autumn but assumed Andy would not interfere in his plan.
And what justified Andy's interference?
But at that moment, Ferry came to a conclusion that those concerned would put their heart and soul into serving Andy if he asked for their help; even though Andy had long been out of contact with anyone in the gang affairs.
Ferry was, at that moment, badly wanted on the phone by influential and powerful personalities, who threatened to doom him if he continued his petty design.
Seven or eight calls successively bombarded on him, and then Ferry realized he had offended a person he shouldn't.
Ferry was holding the receiver, paralyzed with fear and then went into silence.
"So can you make sense of these calls?" Andy questioned Ferry after the end of those menacing calls, "Now can you make a decision?"
"What on earth could you be satisfied with?" Ferry looked at Andy in a cold manner.
"You should have gotten even with Yvonne, who is responsible for the death of your ex-girlfriend and your disfiguration. All I expect of you is to stop harming Autumn, otherwise..." Andy let off a cold smile, "Do you still remember Troy?"
Ferry was unable to conceal his fear and shock at the mere mention of Troy, who had been a most influential and prestigious gang leader, only to be crippled as a street vagabond all because he had offended Andy.
In the ensuing vengeance against him, Troy was as good as lost.
Andy, seeing Ferry greatly alarmed, was pleased inwardly.
Andy let off a sarcastic smile and patted Ferry's shoulder meaningfully. "I have long excused myself from gang feuds. And promising young generations will surely excel their predecessors. But if you continue the attack against Autumn, I will be bothered to doom you through my previous connections."
"You...." Ferry was fully aware of Andy's unabated influence and prestige in the gang world. He had just had a taste of it from the phone calls from Andy's previous connections.
Ferry finally succumbed to Andy's power. "Andy, please spare me this time. I swear not to harm Autumn anymore."
