Wallace Carterâs forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly jogged to Greg Jensen, smiled sheepishly, and said, âMr. Jensen, whatâs⦠what happened?â
Greg Jensen glanced at him coldly and asked, âIs this your man?â
âUh, he used to follow me. You know, Iâm into legitimate business now, and these guys⦠we still have some ties.â
âHehâ¦â
Greg Jensen understood as soon as he heard his words. Wallace Carter was no longer in the underworld, but he had left his seeds there.
People like Scarface, who had followed him in the past, though they had started to venture on their own and seemed independent, would still follow Wallace Carterâs arrangements on significant matters.
With a sneer, he ignored Wallace Carter and walked straight to Scarface, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and then said coldly, âIâll ask you one more time, your brother touched my woman, and I broke his hand. Was it deserved or not?â
âDeserve your momâ¦â
âScarface, shut up!â
Wallace Carterâs face changed dramatically. He wanted to intervene, but it was too late.
Bang!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Scarface was tossed to the ground like a doll by Greg Jensen.
He felt as if all the bones in his body had fallen apart, unable to muster any strength, but his mouth didnât stop moving as he continued to curse, âAiden Clark, I wonât accept thisâ¦â
âScarface!â
Wallace Carter hurried over, kicked him hard, and scolded, âWhat nonsense are you talking? Arenât you going to apologize to Mr. Jensen right away?â
âMr⦠Mr. Jensenâ¦â
Scarface struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with fear.
Only then did he realize the extent of the trouble the kid, Yellow Hair, had gotten him into.
As one of Wallace Carterâs old-timers, he was very well aware of what had happened recently.
Thatâs precisely why he was so afraid!
That Mr. Jensen, whom even Boss Carter had to bow his head toâwhy on earth did Yellow Hair have to mess with such a fiend?
Scarface cursed Yellow Hair in his mind, propped himself up with great effort, and staggeringly got to his feet before he knelt down with a thud, and said unclearly, âMr. Jensen, I was wrong, I didnât know it was you.â
Greg Jensen looked down and said indifferently, âIâll ask you one last time, your brother Yellow Hair touched my woman, and I broke his hand. Was it deserved?â
This time, Scarface didnât dare to talk back, gritted his teeth, and said, âDeserved, breaking his hand is letting him off light. His legs should be broken too, so he canât harm people when heâs out and about!â
Wallace Carter said with an embarrassed face, âMr. Jensen, look at all the trouble this has causedâ¦â
Greg Jensen silently glanced at him, did not say anything more, and walked outside with a bewildered Vince Cooper in tow.
âBoss Carter, Iâ¦â
âSkip it, just head to the hospital. Later, bring that kid Yellow Hair to me, Iâll teach him a lesson myself!â
âYou can count on it, Boss Carter. As soon as he wakes up, Iâll bring him right over!â
Scarfaceâs face turned the color of iron, and he watched Yellow Hair, who was unconscious, with vicious eyes, as if he were looking at his fatherâs killer.
Yellow Hair, still in his coma, shivered unconsciously.
Wallace Carter glanced at Scarface and then chased after Greg Jensen.
â¦
As Greg Jensen held Vince Cooperâs hand, he smiled and asked, âScared you, didnât I?â
Vince Cooper shook his head but didnât speak.
After a while, he suddenly looked up, tilted his small face, and asked, âMr. Jensen, have I caused you trouble?â
âHaha, what trouble is that?â
Greg Jensen laughed and said, âThe person who was driving here earlier was Theo Carterâs father. Iâve taken care of him, so why should I be afraid of a little Scarface?â
âDid I really not cause you any trouble?â
âNo.â
Seeing her guilt-ridden expression, Gregâs heart ached as he gently said, âDonât worry, from now on, with me here, no one dares to bully you.â
âHmm, youâre really kind.â
Finally, a smile crept onto Vinceâs face, and he happily leaned on Gregâs shoulder.
The two of them walked forward, arm in arm, and were about to reach the car when suddenly they heard the sound of hurried footsteps from behind.
Vinceâs face changed, and he anxiously said, âMr. Greg, they couldnât be chasing us, could they?â
Greg frowned and turned around, only to see Wallaceâs somewhat rotund figure running over from the distance.
âMr. Greg, you left so quickly, but I finally caught up,â panted Wallace.
Greg furrowed his brow and asked, âYou want something from me?â
Wallace responded with a smile, âNo, no big deal, I just wanted to apologize to you in person.â
Greg suddenly thought of something and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he asked, âReally no trouble?â
âUhâ¦â
âIf itâs nothing, then Iâll be going.â
Seeing this, Wallace hurriedly said, âWait, Mr. Greg, I do need your help.â
âWhat is it?â
With a cold laugh, Greg said, âTheoâs arm, thereâs no way I can treat it.â
âOh, thatâ¦â
Wallaceâs expression immediately fell. He had been so eager to find Greg, not only to apologize in person but also for Theoâs arm.
These past days, having taken Theo to several hospitals and consulting many doctors, they still couldnât figure out what exactly was wrong with his arm.
It wasnât until someone reminded him that Wallace thought of seeking out Greg.
Hearing Greg say he wouldnât treat it, Wallace suddenly seemed to age ten years, weakly smiling as he said, âMr. Greg, itâs true that Theo is disappointing, but heâs still my son. I canât just ignore him.â
âAnd cure him for what? So he can continue to harm others?â
âMr. Greg, I promise, he absolutely will not commit any more misdeeds in the future!â
Looking at Wallaceâs desperate plea, Greg frowned, pulled a pill out from his bag, and tossed it to him, then gave him another pill as an antidote.
âHave him take this pill, and in half an hour, give him the other one. Then bring him to see me tomorrow.â
âThank you, Mr. Greg,â
Wallace sent Greg off with endless gratitude and let out a long sigh of relief, then quickly got into the car and headed home.
Fearing Greg might overthink things, he had purposely driven alone this time, not even using a driver, and finally managed to learn the whole method to treat the arm.
Back home, Theo was playing video games. Seeing this, Wallace kicked him and snapped.
âWith just one arm, youâre still playing games?â
âWhat else am I supposed to do? You wonât let me go out to play. If I donât play games, what can I do?â
Theo also lost his temper. All these years, heâd been scolded constantly, as if he was the only one at fault.
Seeing his son like this, Wallaceâs heart ached, and he quickly handed over the first pill Greg had given, saying, âEat it. This is medicine from Mr. Greg.â
âGreg? You saw him?â
Theo instantly perked up, quickly stood up, took the pill, and examined it skeptically, saying, âWhatâs this, itâs all black and stuff.â
âJust eat it if I tell you to, will you stop with the nonsense?â
âAlright, alright, Iâll eat it, okay?â
