That night, Samuel, Miles and May visited Joseph Myers, while bearing a lot of expensive gifts.
Dressed in a tunic, the man was currently in his living room with Harry Leigh, plotting his revenge on Nathan Cross and Penny Smith.
When he saw Samuel and his family, his eyes narrowed as he said indifferently, "Smith."
Samuel gestured for Miles and May to present their gifts. Plastering a smile on his face, he said, "Mr. Myers, I've heard that the crazy man had injured you. Hence, I've brought you some supplements. I hope that you'll get well soon."
At the mention of his assault, Joseph's face darkened. Never had someone dared to smash a beer bottle overhishead.
"I'll never forgive that b******!"
Harry Leigh shifted slightly, his floral shirt moving aside briefly to reveal the tattoos covering his chest. His lips split into a wide grin as he assured Joseph, "Mr. Myers, leave this matter to me! I promise you that I'll make sure that they regret the day they'd dared to offend you!"
Samuel stared at the well-built man before him in shock. His voice was weak as he asked, "You're the underground overlord of Channing, Harry Leigh?"
Harry replied smugly, "That's me."
Turning to Joseph, Samuel said, "Mr. Myers, Nathan Cross is a dead man if you have Mr. Leigh helping you."
Ignoring the man who was speaking, Joseph looked at Harry Leigh. "Mr. Leigh, I want Nathan Cross to regret the day he was born. I want his company destroyed and his life to be ruined. I also want you to bring me his wife. Can you do that?"
Harry smiled savagely as he answered, "That's easy."
As if to prove his statement, he immediately called Channing Bank's director, Liam Harrison, so that he could get a feel of this Nathan Cross. Then, he would plan his next move.
Occasionally, there were debts that were unable to be collected by the bank. When this happened, the bank would usually hire men like Harry Leigh to collect those debts. Thus, as the director of Channing Bank, Liam Harrison had to have connections with the underground. That was how they had known each other.
When Liam heard that Harry was trying to teach Nathan a lesson, his expression fell.
His voice was stern as he warned, "Harry, I advise you against taking this course of action. Mr. Cross is not someone whom you'd want to cross.”
