It was quite obvious that Thomas was here for Amos. Harley stood up immediately and warned.
"Thomas, this is not the place for you to do this."
Thomas looked at Harley. "Yo! Is this Officer Louis? I did not do anything illegal here. I am just here to chat with my old friend. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
Harley frowned. "You know very well what kind of business you are doing. Don't provoke me."
"Thank you for your advice, officer. But I am a good citizen now." Thomas looked at Amos and continued, "President Granger, you messed up two of my businesses. What are you going to do now? Are you not going to give me an explanation?"
Amos replied with a faint smile on his face. "What kind of explanation are you expecting?"
"Ah!" Thomas pinched one of the ladies' breasts while smiling proudly at Amos.
"Why don’t you become my collaborator? Who else can compete with you now in Rosaville City? Do you remember what I told you last time, that if we collaborate, we will be unbeatable."
"Ha..." Amos smiled. "Thank you for your kindness, President Shelby. Everyone has their own ambitions. I will definitely give you a hand if you ask me for help in real estate development. But, if it’s something else, I don’t think I can be helpful." Thomas' face darkened instantly.
"Amos, are you kidding me? I remember that you did a lot more terrible things when you were still in the States. Are you telling me that you are turning into a new leaf now? Are you f*cking kidding me?"
Several men behind him put their hands into their coats and grabbed their weapons.
All of a sudden, a few men flashed out from behind them in a split second and pointed a baseball bat at Thomas.
Thomas immediately knew who they were and broke out in cold sweat. He quickly concealed his fear in a smile.
He sneered. "I knew it! It's impossible for a person like you to change!"
Charlie pushed him with the bat again and Thomas held his tongue instantly.
He quickly added, "Misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding. President Granger is right. It’s not right to do such things."
"You may leave now!" Charlie said coldly.
Thomas left with his men right away.
Charlie only let go of Thomas after they left the building.
A man named Neil White came up to Thomas, "Boss."
"Pa!" Thomas gave him a slap in his face. "It’s such a waste of resources for me to raise you! You had just embarrassed me!"
He shouted, "I'm sorry, Boss!" His slap was so hard that the palm print glowed in red on his cheek.
He rubbed his face and added, "Don't be angry, boss. I have an idea!"
"Spit it!" Thomas replied in a cold voice.
He blurted out, "We just need to find out his weak spot. Once we know what it is, I swear that he is going to listen to us!"
"Weak spot?" Thomas was so angry and gave Neil another kick. "Do you think that cold-blooded man has a weak spot?"
"Someone just told me that he bought an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Brooklyn," Neil answered.
"So what?" Thomas was getting impatient. "He doesn’t even like Brooklyn. On top of that, I don’t want to go back to that place either."
Neil smiled and replied, "Boss, that’s the point. Why would someone go there if he hates it?"
Thomas’ eyes lit up.
"You mean?"
Neil explained, "I believe something fishy must be going on there. He’s going to listen to you once we know what he has up his sleeve."
