Before ten minutes had even passed, more than a hundred men arrived at the scene with steel pipes, machetes and other weapons.
Spearheading the gang was a triangular-eyed man in a white sleeveless vest. “Who is the b*stard that dared to cross my men? Don't they know who I am? I'm Rattlesnake!”
Rattlesnake? Nathan, Colin, Amos, and the Elite Eight immediately exchanged looks when they heard the name.
“Mr. Rattlesnake, you're finally here!” exclaimed Lenny excitedly when he saw the thug and the large group of men following behind. “This guy thinks he can mess with us. He even took down all of my men. You have to teach him a lesson he'll never forget, Mr. Rattlesnake!”
With his head held high, Rattlesnake looked around the room before he shouted, “Where is the b*stard who dared to disrespect my friend? Show yourself!”
However, when Rattlesnake saw Amos, his eyes widened in disbelief.
They widened even further when he noticed Nathan, still smoking casually, on the couch.
Suddenly, Rattlesnake could feel chills running down his spine. His aggression quickly dissipated as terror and panic took place. Just my luck’. Why does it have to be them again?
Fear was written all over Rattlesnake's face, but somehow, Lenny failed to notice it. Standing next to the man, Lenny voiced, “That's the b*stard who disrespected me, Mr. Rattlesnake! He even demanded that I kneel before him. It's time to make him regret the day he was born!"
Smack'.
Lenny was still cursing at Nathan when Rattlesnake suddenly gave the man a hard slap to the face.
Stumbling backward, Lenny was smacked so hard that his cheek became swollen, and his lips bled.
“Mr. Rattlesnake, why? I... I don't understand,” stuttered Lenny while holding the side of his face.
Rattlesnake was so furious that his veins popped when he pointed his finger sternly at Lenny. “Do you have any idea who you've just insulted? Even I dare not offend Mr. Cross, so who do you think you are to disrespect him?”
