Chapter 73
upon hearing Ethan condition, the Boss didn't hesitate for a second. He immediately agreed to Ethan's words, knowing he had no time to waste.
He stood up, brushing the dust off his suit, and approached the gang boss with a deadly look on his face.
Upon seeing the man walking closer to him.
The gang boss burst out laughing, his eyes were filled with mockery. "You must be joking, right!"
He exclaimed, his voice dripping with disdain.
"How could a mere five men possibly stop all 80 of us?"
He spread his arms wide, gesturing to his massive crew, with a smug grin plastered on his face.
However the head of the private security company didn't put ears to what the gang boss was saying; he continued to walk forward, his posture straight and full of confidence.
Then he stopped in front of the gang boss who was staring at him with deadly eyes.
"Allow me to introduce myself,"
he said, his voice clear and authoritative.
"I am the head of the K-guard company."
His words hung in the air, the weight of his significance settling over the crowd.
Immediately upon hearing those words, the gang boss's expression transformed from amusement to utter disbelief.
His eyes widened, and his mouth fell open in shock.
He stood there, stupefied, unable to comprehend the turn of events. Something tells him he's only trying to pull his legs.
Naomi, too, was taken aback by this revelation.
She knew all too well the reputation of the K-guard company. Everyone knows them. They are an elite private security firm, reserved for only the most influential and wealthy individuals in the country. She recalled she applied to join their ranks once, but her application was swiftly rejected; it didn't even take long.
"What in the world are they doing here?"
she said to herself, her mind racing with so many questions.
"And how on earth are they connected to a young boy like Ethan?"
She couldn't make sense of the situation anymore, but one thing seemed certain: it had something to do with Lady Madison. At that moment the pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together, but the full picture remained frustratingly out of reach as she gazed at Ethan with a curious look.
The gang boss at that moment, started recovering from his initial shock, then he started laughing again once more.
"I know you're pulling my legs"
he said, shaking his head in disbelief.
"There's no way the K-guard would ever interfere in a situation as trivial as this, it's below their standard"
He waved his hand dismissively, his confidence started returning.
Just then, one of the K-guard men stepped forward, with a phone pressed to his ear.
"I've just finished calling for backup,"
His entire body was filled with righteous anger.
Then he began smacking the gang boss over the head with the frying pan, each blow landed by a satisfying clang.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Despite the assault, the gang boss remained on his knees, his hands raised in surrender.
He continued to beg for mercy, his words barely audible over the sound of the frying pan connecting with his skull.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Immediately he used his hand to hold his head, he knew his life depended on the old man's forgiveness, and he was willing to endure any punishment to secure it.
The old man was still mad, because the gang didn't give him a breathing space to grow his restaurant, they saw him as an easy prey so they took advantage of it.
As the gang boss groveled, the K-guard team worked swiftly to apprehend the remaining thugs. They moved with practiced precision, securing the criminals and loading them into waiting vehicles.
The head of the K-guard approached Ethan, with a look of determination on his face.
"I'll use my connections in the police force to ensure these thugs are properly dealt with,"
he assured, his voice low and serious.
"We'll make sure they return every last penny they've stolen from innocent people."
With the situation under control, the K-guard boss turned his attention back to Ethan again.
He leaned in close, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Ethan, I implore you,"
he said, his eyes pleading.
"Can you please help me with Lady Madison? I'm at my end as I speak."
His words carried a sense of desperation, he was like a man on the brink of losing everything.
Naomi, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, stepped forward.
"Ethan."
she said, her voice filled with a mix of confusion.
"Do you... do you know Lady Madison?"
immediately her eyes searched his face, seeking answers to the countless questions swirling in her mind.
At that moment Ethan reached up, scratching the back of his head nervously.
A small smile played on his lips as he met Naomi's gaze.
"It's a long story."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
