“Beat him up!”
Mr. Gross shouted out to the remaining bodyguards behind him.
The bodyguards rushed forward in an instant, and they were about to charge directly toward Gerald to chop him up.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a pair of bodyguards dressed in black came over and stopped those men.
“Who are you people?!” Mr. Gross yelled as he looked at them.
“The Smith family.” The bodyguard casually replied.
“What?”
Mr. Gross could not help but tremble slightly as he hurriedly put his pistol down.
“So, it turns out that the Smith family is here!” Abner said as he smiled faintly.
The Smith family was indeed one of the very few families that were even more powerful and influential as compared to the Gross family in Lugaw City.
Although Abner was very vicious, he also knew the ways of this world very well, and he knew how to abide by the rules. He knew that there were people that he could provoke, but at the same time, there were also some people he should never try to provoke!
“You cannot touch this man, and you cannot touch this pair of father and daughter either! This is because they are under the protection of the eldest young lady of the Smith family!” The bodyguards said.
“Pfft. The eldest young lady of the Smith family?! I am the…”
Abner’s girlfriend was about to lose her temper as she slowly stood up at this time, but she was immediately stopped by Abner, who gave her a warning look.
“Alright, then. Since the eldest young lady of the Smith family has already spoken up, the Gross family will certainly give her face. Moreover, these are just a few stray dogs anyway. I will let them go if she wants me to!”
Abner said as he nodded and smiled coldly.
After that, he supported the woman as they prepared to leave.
However, as they walked up to Gerald, Abner whispered, “Brother, you’d better watch out. Wait for it. There will come a day when I make you pay for your actions!”
After that, Abner left with his girlfriend.
“Uncle, there are fifteen thousand dollars here. This is given by our eldest young lady. You can just treat it as though she bought the jade pendant from you!”
The bodyguard handed a box that was filled with fifteen thousand dollars over to the middle-aged man. “Use this money to treat your daughter’s illness first. You don’t have to worry about Mr. Gross. He will not cause you any trouble!”
“Thank you! Please thank Miss Smith for her kindness and mercy!”
