It was Harry Crocker for goodness sake!
Although Lily did not know him personally, his name was often mentioned in her friends’ conversations!
It was said that Harry was a well-known figure in Donghai City, he was young, courageous, and especially ruthless. Most importantly, Samson was the man behind him!
Samson was the owner of Moonlit River Bar, the most luxurious bar in Donghai City.
Lily could see Harry's fierce face as he held the machete. If he managed to get to Darryl, the latter would at least be half-crippled, if not dead.
"Hurry up and leave!" Lily was getting extremely anxious. She got up from her seat and was about to go over and pull Darryl, but was stopped by those around her. i
Lily could not even comprehend her thought process. While it was true that she looked down on Darryl, she nevertheless felt uncomfortable when she saw that Darryl was about to be beaten up.
Those around her did not share the same views. They were more excited to see Darryl being beaten up to a pulp!
It was especially so for Ashton, who immediately grabbed Lily. "What are you doing with this loser, Lilybud? He doesn't know where he stands but has the balls to provoke William. He deserves to be beaten up!" 1
Harry raised his machete and dashed into the villa!
"Rest assured, William." Harry spitted out the cigarette butt in his mouth as he said. "I'm curious to see which fool grew the balls to threaten my bro! That person is a s good as dead today!" 2
William nodded heavily and walked arrogantly toward Darryl. He felt good in his heart because he had such a good reputation and could ask Harry to come over!
In reality, he had only met Harry once by chance.
Once, William was on the road when he got into a fight with another driver. As a result, they both agreed to take the fight somewhere and the driver had called Harry.
That time, Harry almost beat William to death.
William was afraid of him, so he tried his best to make friends with Harry.
He found out that Harry liked to gamble and often lost tons of money. William therefore 'lent' Harry a sum of money each month. Though the term used was 'lend', Harry never paid back.
William had no intention of asking him to pay back either! It did not hurt to give the man some cash every month and his help could be sought too should
William ever need it.
No one had dared to mess with William after he got to know Harry. Harry’s reputation reached far and wide throughout Donghai City and no one among the younger generation dared vie with him for it!
Harry was only ten meters away from Darryl when the two of them exchanged glances.
Unfortunately, Harry was a short-sighted kid, and had yet to recognize Darryl despite squinting his eyes! Still full of aggression, he raised his knife and quickly rushed to Darryl's side!
"Run! Run!" Lily shouted, but there were people all around her.
Lily closed her eyes, she could already envision Darryl falling into a pool of blood!
However, she had never expected Harry to stop dead i n his tracks just as he was just about to sink the knife into Darryl!
Darryl looked at him with a smile. Their distance was only about half a meter at that time!
William suddenly felt anxious after seeing Harry froze in his tracks.
"Mister Harry, this is the idiot I was talking about!" William roared. "It's him, Brother Harry! Make him kneel!"
William wailed, his eyes red with rage!
"You... Is this the guy you want to beat up?" Harry finally reacted and asked William.
"Yes, it's him!" William nodded his head repeatedly.
Everyone in the Lyndon family was giving their full attention, eager to see how the drama unfolding.
Grandmother Lyndon walked over and said, "William, don’t overdo it. Don't injure him severely."
‘Don't injure him severely?’ William sneered. Darryl had slapped him in front of the entire family. If he did not avenge himself, how could he have the dignity to face the family in the future?! 1
"Okay. Don't worry, Granny, I'll just hit him and make him kneel," William snickered with a smile.
It was then that Harry managed to catch a clear glimpse of Darryl, and was shocked so much that he nearly peed his pants!
Harry's cold sweat began trickling down. His godfather had to address Darryl as Second Young Master whenever they met!
"The person you want me to beat up is...him?!" Harry confirmed again and asked incredulously.
"Yes, it's him!"
William yelled. The sight of Harry’s inaction made William's blood boil, prompting the latter to try punching Darryl immediately!
He was just about to deliver that punch when in a surprising turn, he saw Harry roared strangely and
grabbed him by his hair! 1
Slap!
Without warning, Harry slapped William hard in the face!
The slap was so strong that blood began dripping down from William's cheek.
William covered his cheek in bewilderment. "Mister
Harry! I... What did I do wrong?!"
Aside from William, everyone else was equally dumbfounded!
