Then, he turned his attention to Elder Mr. Bailey and strode toward him. Raising his hand, he delivered slap after slap on his face as he displayed his roguish attitude. “How dare you drug me, old man! You must be tired of living after living for so long!”
Next to them, John rubbed his nose and looked the other way; the scene was a little joyous to him.
Elder Mr. Bailey looked at Logan with daggers in his eyes, as he didn’t think that he would have zero respect for him and act like a thug with him.
Spitting on the floor, Logan scowled, “What are you glaring at, old man? Listen here, others might be afraid of you, but not me! Just you wait, damn old man.”
Unable to stand by and watch any longer, Lola nudged him and said, “Forget it, let the police here handle this.”
Later, a few of the policemen came over and checked on her. “Are you alright?”
Smirking, she answered, “I’m alright, actually.”
The police nodded. “You made another merit again.”
It was obvious that this was one of her old colleagues, and his face turned grim when he faced Elder Mr. Bailey.
Neither humble nor pushy, Elder Mr. Bailey stood with his back stick straight. Actually, he did have some regrets at this point, but not for anything he planned for today. Rather, he regretted letting Old Mr. Bailey in charge of some details.
If he had personally arranged everything himself, the situation wouldn’t have turned out as it did now. Take the four bodyguards who were beaten to the ground, for instance. They were obviously not cut out for the job and didn’t even do that much before they were trashed.
What a bunch of good-for-nothing, he lamented.
