Tobias stood frozen in terror, realizing the situation was dire.
Gia attempted to escape, but the bodyguards, Aurelia, and Neil, surrounded her before she could make a move.
"It's all a misunderstanding!" Tobias stammered, his mouth twitching nervously. "There must be a misunderstanding!"
"This CEO is a legitimate businesswoman from Southeast Aciatic, and we're doing legitimate business. We—"
Nicholas' cold voice cut him off. "Tobias Chambers, save your explanations for the judge."
Tobias's eyes widened, and his legs felt weak, as if all his blood had frozen.
Nicholas approached, exuding an intimidating aura despite nearing his 50s. The years seemed to have deepened his dominance and presence. His expression remained calm, and he coldly smirked at Tobias.
"Mr. Thompson—"
"I didn't realize I only know how to fight, kill, and be completely clueless about management and business," Nicholas said, his tone biting.
"No!"
"Tobias, you dare to steal my land right under my nose!" Nicholas clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. "Do you know what this means in the underworld?"
"No, Mr. Thompson... Please listen to my explanation!"
Tobias dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his face.
"Mr. Thompson, I have a family to support, and people depend on me. I just wanted to make more money! I made a mistake in a moment of confusion. Please, give me a chance to turn over a new leaf. I'll be absolutely loyal to you in the future. I'll do anything for you..."
Nicholas gave him a disdainful glance and kicked him in the chest.
"I've been away from the gangs for many years, but thanks to you, I'm reminded that even if I've left, I'm still a man of the gangs! According to the underworld rules, I'll handle you!"
