Dahlia might have the backing of Regulus Nicholson, but the patriarch in Glenstead was too far away from Balerno to pose any threat.
“Oh, it shouldn’t be a problem if she’s nothing special.” Nelson chuckled. “She’d better not show up! If she ever does, I’ll make it tough on her!” It was simply ridiculous for a person who wasn’t rich or powerful to demand money from him.
“Lord Horst, I’ll have to trouble you for this. When it’s done, I’ll send you a gift.” Hank bowed to Nelson.
“Haha! Not a problem. We’re brothers. Take it easy.” A wide smile appeared on Nelson’s face. Based on his past experiences, the mention of a “gift” would imply at least a million dollars in monetary reward.
“Lord Horst …” One of Nelson’s men knocked on the door during the conversation. Nelson raised his brows unhappily. “What? Can’t you see that I’m in a business meeting with my client?”
“A few visitors demanded to see you. They would like you to pay your debts,” the man reported the situation. “Oh, they sure act fast! Speak of the devil!” Nelson rubbed his chin.
Hank cracked a smile. “Lord Horst, I shall be the audience for your show.”
“Open your eyes wide and see how I teach her a lesson!” With a slap on the table, Nelson rose and marched out of the room. At the same time, Hank went to the window and watched the situation unfold from the gap between the curtains.
Meanwhile, Dahlia was standing at the entrance to the Flame Dragon Properties with Dustin to her left and Julie to her right.
“Dahlia, should we call it off? Look at the men in there! They are scowling and glaring at us. It’s so terrifying!” Julie cowered behind them and swallowed hard in fear. The Flame Dragon Gang was known for its
ruthlessness, and she was gravely concerned that the gang might sexually assault her after she entered their nest.
“We’re already at the entrance. We can’t give up at the last minute, right?” Dahlia, however, was calm and composed.
“Dahlia, the gang is violent! What if Julie stammered because, at that moment, she saw Nelson emerging with a bunch of men in tow, ready to fight. She was shaking at the sight of his contracted brows and his deathlike stare.
“Who’s the daredevil who asks me to pay up?” Nelson marched forward fearlessly.
“It’s me.” Dahlia took a step forward and announced in a shrill voice, “Lord Horst, it’s only fair to pay your debts. It’s time for you to pay the 70 million you owe to my company.”
“Haha! You’re quite bold!” Cackling, Nelson gestured at the men. “Someone get me my saber!”
“Yes, Sir!” The men replied and immediately hauled out a brass ring saber for him.
“Crap! We’re done for!” Looking pale, Julie seemed ready to faint. Similarly, Dahlia was nervous about Nelson’s Chaucer SIZ actions.
“Hmph! They overestimated themselves!” A gleeful smile spread on Hank’s face as he stared down from the windows above.
“Nelson Horst, are you seriously going to slash people when you’re in the wrong for not paying your debts?” Dustin suddenly emerged from behind Dahlia.
“Hmm?” When Nelson saw Dustin, he appeared to be struck by lightning and dropped the brass ring saber
onto the ground. Realizing the gravity of their situation, he turned around and slapped one of his men on the face as he yelled, “Why the fuck did you even bring that saber to me? Quick! Get me a check!”
