Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 King Of The Underworld 

Derek nodded. Alright.” With that, he started his car and drove off quickly

All the ladies looked at each other in confusion. Who was this man, and why did Derek obey his orders

After all. Derek was the king of the underworld in Nebula City. He had numerous underlings working under him, all of whom addressed him respectfully as Mr. Fleming. Many of the business clans had to humble themselves in front of him

On the other hand, Alex was dressed very plainly, and quite frankly, he looked very much like a loser. However, Derek addressed him politely as Mr. Jefferson and deferred to his every need. This was the first time Derek did for someone

Gazing at Alex’s side profile from the backseat, the ladieshearts fluttered a little

With his eyes focused on the road, Derek asked, Mr. Jefferson, when did you arrive in Nebula City?” 

It’s been about seven or eight years ago.” Alex replied

Oh, that means you arrived just after I did.” Derek felt a little surprised. Alex hailed from one of the most prestigious families in Lumenopolis. As the oldest son, his status within the family was undisputed, and he commanded great respect in the Northern Territory. If he had already been here for seven or eight years, that meant that… 

Derek glanced at him and understood everything at once

He pressed. Mr. Jefferson, are you leaving now because something has happened back at home?” 

One of my friends is in trouble, and I’m heading over to lend him my help,” Alex replied

Did he get into a fight with someone from the underworld forces? If that’s the case, one word from me will resolve everything.” Derek said, puffing out his chest in pride

Alex turned to look at him. You’ve done quite well for yourself these few years, Derek.” 

Derek smiled cheekily. I’ll have to thank you for saving my life and lending me some money eight years ago. With the one million you lent me, I arrived in Nebula City and worked as hard as I possibly could. I finally made it a few years later.” 

Hearing this, the ladies in the backseat felt extremely startled. Had Alex really lent Derek a million eight years ago

With inflation, that would come up to about five million in today’s money

Was Alex some sort of big shot

One of the ladies spoke up. Mr. Fleming is the king of the underworld. There is nothing in Nebula City that he can’t solve.” 

That’s good, then.Alex nodded approvingly. Back then, he had seen how tough Derek was. After saving his life, he gave Derek a million on a whim to see if he could make anything out of himself

Back in Lumenopolis eight years ago, Derek had mixed with the underground crowd

He didn’t let Alex down. With that one million he gave away so casually, Alex had accidentally created the

king of the underworld

Derek laughed. I got lucky, that’s all. I have to thank Mr. Jefferson for saving my life back then, or I would have died in Lumenopolis a long time ago.” 

Alex smiled. Chatting happily, they quickly arrived at Grange Road and turned in to Woodgrove Lane

Something was happening in Woodgrove Lane. When they arrived, they immediately spotted a crowd gathering around a kneeling man. The man was wearing a delivery man’s uniform, and his face was covered with bruises

In an instant, Alex’s face clouded over

Pointing to a wolfish man standing in the crowd, one of the ladies exclaimed in surprise, Isn’t that Bob Lane?” 

Alex turned to Derek and asked. Is he one of your men?” 

Derek nodded. Yes. I don’t know what’s happening though.” 

Alright, just drop me off here then. There’s no need for you to show your face, I’ll resolve the matter by myself. Alex said

However. Derek demurred. Who do you take me for, Mr. Jefferson? Don’t worry, I’ll handle my own 

men

The ladies knew that Bob was Derek’s righthand man. He was the big boss of Grange Road, and no one int the area dared to offend him

However, he had inadvertently offended one of Mr. Jefferson’s friends. How was Derek going to settle this matter

The ladies couldn’t help but feel excited. It was time to see how deeply Derek regarded his benefactor, Mr. Jefferson

Derek had wanted to call Bob to warn him, but the car had already pulled up to the scene. Alex told him to stop the car

Derek had no choice but to follow his orders. As soon as the car rolled to a halt, Alex threw open the door and got out

There were about 30 over people in the crowd. Around ten of them were gangsters that Bob had called in for backup

Dylan was kneeling on the floor with his face completely covered in bruises. His clothes were muddy with footprints all over, and he looked as though the life had been kicked out of him

However, his eyes were full of hatred

Alex felt enraged. There was no way this matter was simply a case of debt collection

Shoving through the crowd, he found himself standing right in front of Dylan

However, the wolfish man and his pretty counterpart stood next to Dylan

The two of them looked at the kneeling Dylan mockingly

Bob looked Alex up and down, his expression was full of scorn. So you’re this loser’s friend, are you?” 

Were you the one who hit him?Alex asked, his gaze was cold

Bob laughed manically. Of course! Since you’ve come, if you don’t help him pay his debt of 200 thousand today, I’ll beat you up too.” 

You must be tired of living!With a loud roar, Alex lunged forward to punch Bob in the face

In an instant, the smile disappeared from Bob’s face. He hadn’t expected Alex to use get physical. Quickly, he ducked to avoid his punch

However, Alex had thrown too many punches to miss

With a damning thud, his fist landed squarely on Bob’s face, knocking a few of his teeth out

Derek pushed his way through the crowd trying to stop Alex, but it was too late

You imbecile!Spitting out his broken teeth, Bob stared daggers at Alex

Even his boss, Derek, had never hit him before, let alone knocked his teeth out
