Leo Hugh scoffed and took out his phone to give his brother Dan Hugh a call.
Soon, Dan Hugh picked up, and his intimidating voice boomed from the other end of the line, "Are you done?"
Leo Hugh lowered his voice and professed, "Not yet, bro."
Dan Hugh was unhappy. "You can't even settle such a small matter?"
Leo Hugh glanced at Nathan Cross before whispering, "Bro, there's a guy from Cross Corporation who's beating everyone up."
"He knocked out thirty of my men and broke Dogbreath's leg right in front of me despite my warnings. He even wants you to come and kowtow to him."
Dan Hugh was angered. "He's looking for trouble!"
It had been ages since anyone in Channing dared to cross paths with Dan Hugh, much less ask him to kowtow.
Nathan Cross was the first ever person who had dared to even try.
Leo Hugh glanced at the crowd from Cross Corporation and smirked, "My bro's personally coming after you, since you're so eager to die!"
Penny Smith and Bob Hoffman, as locals, knew exactly how the Nine Tattoo Dragon went about doing things.
When they heard that Dan Hugh was going to beat Nathan Cross up in person, genuine fear crept onto their faces.
Penny Smith whispered to Nathan Cross, "Dan Hugh is well-known in the Western District and the underground answers to his orders only. If he wants someone to disappear, they will evaporate from the face of the earth. If we anger him, we're dead for sure!"
Nathan Cross was unfazed. "The Cross Corporation is in charge of the Asiatic Shopping Mall project. They're the ones messing things up before the construction has even started."
"If we don't teach them a lesson now, they're going to be a nuisance to us forever."
