The poor bodyguard did not know why he was hit, but he quickly reacted and ordered those men in black surrounding the Riddle family to step aside.
Mr.Rogers Sr.looked flatteringly at Mr.Johnston Sr.and asked in a pleading voice, "Would you calm down now? Of course, you can take them away, and I won't stop them from going."
The Rogers family had always survived by attaching themselves to the Johnston family.
But after his ignorant third brother offended one of the Johnston family members, his father expelled him from the family.
Now, it seemed that he was going to follow in the footsteps of his third brother.Mr.Johnston Sr.looked at Mr.Rogers Sr., hissed and ignored him, then went straight to Mr.Riddle Sr.
"Are you all hurt?"
He had a kind look on his face as if afraid that he would scare them.
Mr.Riddle Sr.was flattered and shook his head hastily.
Mr.Johnston Sr.walked up to him with a gentle face.Glad to know you're all okay.Let's go.I'll send you back and leave someone to protect you."
The Riddle family, even Mr.Rogers Sr., was shocked upon hearing that.
‘What is the relationship between the Riddle and the Johnston families that Mr.Johnston Sr.would say such a thing? It isn't what I've heard.I thought they only had casual ties between them? But it seems not t o be the case by the looks of things.He will even leave behind his men to protect them; isn't that mean placing them in his own sphere of influence? Not even the Rogers family can get this privilege"
