Eventually, Quazzie called in some reinforcements—the gangsters—and all hell broke loose when Xeno’s door was shattered. It was at that moment when Xeno ran into his kitchen to get his two kitchen knives.
That was also the reason why Xeno wasn’t picking his phone up when Gerald called earlier. He didn’t want Gerald to get involved with them.
“So, who is this Quazzie guy?” asked Gerald.
Xeno had taken the hit on behalf of Gerald and Gerald was angry about that. No matter what happened, Gerald would definitely teach Quazzie a lesson.
“Well, he’s a gangster who also owns a second-hand car shop. Last month, he accused Xeno of snatching his customers away and not following the rules! He came looking for trouble but luckily, the bosses around here stood by Xeno’s back and after some words, Quazzie left. Quazzie’s been depending on his brother-in-law for a very long time now and I’ve heard that he’s quite a powerful man!” said Sienna as she swept the floor.
“Got it,” said Gerald as he nodded. He would have a talk with Michael tonight and let him handle the rest.
For now, he had more important things to tell Xeno.
“Anyway, Xeno, you should know that the people from the Dream Investment Group are here in Serene County, right? Why don’t you arrange for a huge car carnival? I could help you out!” said Gerald.
Gerald didn’t mind forking out the funds needed for that idea. After all, he wasn’t just doing this for anyone. It was Xeno!
Sienna sighed at his proposal. “Why would anyone even invest in us?”
Xeno agreed. “Bro, you probably don’t know this, but I’m confident that they won’t invest in us, simply because we aren’t even qualified. In fact, any small and honest company in Serene County won’t be able to get into the Dream Investment Group!”
