Chapter 430 Apologize
“What? Do you think you can make me stay?”
The man stopped in his tracks. When he turned around, the expression on his face was one of disdain.
Who in Durbaine would dare to offend Justin Haberly?
“Didn’t your family teach you that you should apologize after bumping into someone else?” Jonathan’s face turned cold. He didn’t want to bother himself with a snobby kid, yet the latter kept getting on his nerves.
“They did, but I don’t intend to apologize to you. What are you going to do about that?” The young man raised his brows in a provocative manner.
Right then, the few subordinates behind him silently walked up to Jonathan.
It became quite apparent that, as long as Justin gave the order, they would no doubt spring into action.
“Since your family didn’t teach you well, I guess I’ll have to teach you about rules and regulations in their stead!” Jonathan didn’t want to waste his breath on the young man any longer. He turned to Logan and commanded, “I’ll leave him to you!”
“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!”
At Jonathan’s order, Logan quickly stepped forward without saying a word and punched one of Justin’s subordinates in the face.
After that, he swiftly kicked another subordinate to the ground.
“W-What are you doing?” When the young man saw Logan getting physical so fast, he instantly panicked. “What are you guys standing there for? Get him!”
“Yes, Mr. Haberly!”
The few subordinates charged at Logan without hesitation. Unfortunately, their numbers were no match for the commander-in-chief.
In less than a minute, the subordinates were all defeated by Logan as they lay sprawled on the ground.
In fact, Logan had shown them mercy.
Otherwise, they would have lost their lives.
He had fought and killed all his life. He had practiced the many different ways to take lives.
“W-Who are you?” Panic was written all over Justin’s face when he saw Logan make short work of his subordinates.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. All you need to know is that you have to apologize after bumping into other people!” Logan lunged forward and kicked the young man in the knees. “Kneel!”
With that, and before Justin could even react, there was a loud thump. Instantly, the young man found himself kneeling in front of Logan.
“H-How dare you force me to kneel! Don’t you know who I am?” Justin shouted furiously. “I am the second son of the Haberly family, J—”
Before the young man could finish that sentence, he was cut off by an abrupt slap from Logan, who said, “Who you are has nothing to do with me, and I have no interest in finding out! You just need to learn to apologize after you’ve done something wrong!”
“I—”
Feeling indignant, Justin wanted to say something, but he was cut off once again by another smack. “Apologize!”
“The Haberly family—”
Slap!
Logan gave him another slap again.
“Apologize!” he barked with an icy expression.
“You—”
Slap!
Several slaps later, Justin’s face had become utterly swollen. Apart from telling the young man to apologize, Logan didn’t even give him a chance to speak.
“I’ll say it one last time. Apologize!” Logan’s patience was running thin. “And stop using the Haberly family’s name to threaten me! You’re just their kid. Not even your father, Quentin Haberly, dares to speak to me like that!”
“You know my dad?” Justin’s expression shifted when he heard his father’s name.
Yet, Logan didn’t give him a chance at all. “Apologize!”
“I-I’m sorry!”
Seeing Logan lifting his hand, Justin had no choice but to bow his head, grit his teeth, and apologize even if he felt terribly indignant about it.
“Louder! I can’t hear you!” Logan commanded, his brows furrowed.
“I’m sorry!” Justin shouted.
“Not to me! To Mr. Goldstein!”
“I’m sorry!” Justin lowered his head and, through gritted teeth, apologized to Jonathan.
“All right, that’s enough. He’s a kid. This much should suffice.” Now that Justin had finally apologized, Jonathan felt that he shouldn’t be wasting any more time there. He walked over to the young man and said, “Remember, my name is Jonathan Goldstein! If the Haberly family has any sort of dissatisfaction with this, you can come to me at any time!”
With that said, Jonathan strode away.
To Jonathan, whatever happened in the casino was just a brief interlude.
A few minutes later, when Jonathan returned to the hotel, Logan, instead of leaving, whispered in his ear, “Mr. Goldstein, shall we send the Haberly family packing?”
The Haberly family was one of the four prominent families in Durbaine, whose influence spread throughout the city.
One could say that the entire Durbaine was under the control of the four prominent families, and the Haberly family was the most powerful one among them.
It was known as the head of the four prominent families.
Yet, Logan had spoken of the Haberly family as though it was merely an ant that he could squash at any given moment.
With one nod from Jonathan, the Haberly family would cease to exist in Durbaine the next day.
“That’s not necessary. The kid just made a mistake. There’s no need to drag the whole family into this!” Jonathan shook his head. “Of course, if the Haberly family doesn’t appreciate my goodwill and insists on messing with me, then I don’t mind taking them out!”
“Yes, Mr. Goldstein! I understand!” Logan nodded and got ready to leave.
Right before he left, Jonathan suddenly stopped him. “Oh, right, how are the preparations for the auction tomorrow night?”
“We’re ready!” Logan nodded. “We’ve chosen the most remote area, as per your instructions!”
“That’s good.”
“By the way, Mr. Goldstein, should we inform Josiah about your visit to Durbaine?”
“Who?” Jonathan arched his brows.
“Josiah Zeimet,” Logan reminded him.
Josiah Zeimet was the governor of Durbaine.
He was also the highest-ranking official in Durbaine, at least in name.
In other words, except for the garrison, the whole of Durbaine was under the control of the governor’s office.
“There’s no need for that.” Jonathan waved his hand. “This time, I’ve come to attend their auction. I don’t intend to cause a commotion!”
“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!”
After hearing Jonathan’s reply, Logan turned around to leave. “Mr. Goldstein, I shall take my leave now. I’ll pick you up at eight o’clock tomorrow night!”
“Okay!” Jonathan nodded. Then he turned around and got back into his room.
