Nathan Cross said calmly, "I don't care who you are, but you have to look at this rationally. Remember, rationality is the root of all success. Without it, you can't do anything."
"Are you here to preach?" Douglas Hayes let out a scoff. "Fine then. Why don't you tell me how rationale it is for you to beat my nephew and son up like this?" he continued.
With a cold tone, Nathan responded, "Your nephew is flippant and flirted with my wife. He even asked his bodyguard to break my limbs. I'm sure that it is fair for me to snap just one of his bones?”
"As for your son, he brought a dozen people to smash up someone else's restaurant and even threatened to beat up anyone who protested. Don't you think that he deserved what he got? Even with that, I have only broken just one of his limbs."
Instantly, Douglas turned displeased. "So, according to your logic, I should be punished too? After all, I was the one who sent the men to destroy Thomas'
restaurant and injured his men."
Nathan told him with a faint smile on his face, "It seems like you are rather smart. I am giving you one more chance now."
"Let go of Thomas, compensate him, then apologize. I will forget everything that has happened."
Upon hearing his words, Douglas, Caleb Lowe, William Hayes burst into a fit of laughter, along with Jerry Zabinski and the rest.
This young man was indeed fearless! He was still boasting up till now!
A wry smile appeared on Douglas' face as he snorted, "Pfft, you may forget what happened, but I don't think I would be able to do that.”
After saying this, he turned his head to look at William and Giovanni as he asked, "You two, tell me how you want to vent your frustrations. Should I beat them to their deaths and dispose of their bodies at the dumpsite later on?"
"Or maybe I should send them to the mines and work them to their deaths?”
With a sinister expression plastered on his face, Giovanni replied, "Uncle, I have no patience for prolonged torture. I prefer things to be quick, simple, and violent.
Let's just kill him tonight."
