Harry Leigh felt as though he was slapped in the face as he did not manage to accomplish what he was supposed to.
At this moment, he could only pander up to Joseph and Samuel, "Mr. Myers and Mr. Samuel, we will head to Goodrich Hotel for a nice meal first. Then, I'll bring you guys to Brick's Bodies Boxing to watch a boxing match! Please enjoy yourselves today. Rest assured I will deal with Nathan Cross tomorrow."
The largest underground boxing ring in Channing, Brick's Bodies Boxing, was run by none other than Harry Leigh.
Many wealthy individuals from high society enjoyed the thrill and brutality of underground fights as it helped them discover their deepest, darkest desires.
Joseph and Samuel were extremely interested and excited about underground boxing and agreed to Harry's plans.
Night fell and the moon shone brightly.
Nathan and Penny just finished dinner and were watching a TV cartoon with their daughter.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Penny opened the door to see Thomas Dunn outside, looking a little flustered.
Surprised, she asked,
"Mr. Dunn, what are you doing here?"
Normally, Thomas acted as though he was unsurpassable in this world. However, at this moment, he behaved in a cautious and reserved manner as though he was a student visiting an esteemed teacher.
He spoke courteously,
"Ma'am, I'm here to see Sir."
Nathan's voice echoed from the inside of the house, "Is Thomas here? Let him in!"
As Thomas followed Penny into the house, Nathan passed his daughter to Penny and urged to Thomas in a calm manner, "Let's go to the study.”
After the two settled down in the study, Penny brought two cups of tea and left the room.
Nathan's gaze drifted to Thomas as he asked, "I heard that your father's passed away. Have you held the funeral yet?"
