Chapter 48 Do Not Be A Hero
“What insolence!”
Walter slammed his hand on the table as he went through the roof.
All the guests present were terror-stricken at his wrath. Beside him, Luca leaped up and landed squarely before Tommy when he saw Walter going off the deep end.
“You’re courting death to challenge even Mr. Grange, Steven!”
Sheer menace radiated off Luca, and his bones popped audibly.
Halting in his attack, Steven eyed the man with a frown. “You might not necessarily be able to defeat me if we were to battle it out today. Furthermore, I have dozens of lackeys with me!”
“Hmph! We’ll only know about that after giving it a try!”
Snorting, Luca dropped into a fighting stance right away.
“I initially didn’t want to make an enemy out of you, Mr. Grange, but you keep forcing my hand. Let me tell you that the Crimson Dragon Gang is no easy prey either! If worse comes to worst, we’ll all fight to the death! If that happens, no one will be leaving this place alive!”
Steven’s eyes glinted coldly, seemingly long since prepared to go as far as risking his life.
Walter’s face was bright red, and he shook with rage. No one in Horington has ever dared to go against me, but today, he humiliated me thoroughly!
Nonetheless, he was caught in a dilemma at the sight of the dozens of men who exuded murder behind Steven. He came prepared, so it’d be really tricky if things were to come to a head.
“Let me end things with Steven today, Mr. Grange. You don’t need to intervene in this matter.”
Tommy naturally discerned the man’s hesitance. With that said, he made the first move and attacked Steven.
He punched his fist forward with a whizzing sound as it cut through the air. The speed was lightning fast, and its force was the maximum he could manage.
After all, he knew that he couldn’t show the slightest reservation when he dueled with Steven.
When Steven saw him attacking, a sneer showed on his face. He made no move to dodge but faced the man’s blow head-on.
