Jayden had always regarded Zell as a source of easy money. The annual protection fee that Zell paid to him alone was already as much as seven or eight million dollars. In addition to the portion handed over to Albert, Jayden could also save two to three million dollars for himself.
So, as soon as he heard that Zell wanted him to beat someone up for him, he blurted out without any hesitation, "Okay, wait a minute. I will bring my men there now!" 1
After Zell had thanked him, he hung up the phone before looking at Charlie and sneering as he said, " Young lad, don't blame me for not giving you a way out. I asked you to kneel in front of me just now, but you did not cherish the opportunity that I gave to you. Even if you decide to kneel in front of me now, it is already too late." 1
Charlie smiled as he asked, "Who did you call just now? Chief Jay? Is it Bruce Willis from the movie ?"
"You must be mad!" Zell replied coldly. "Chief Jay is Jayden Marquez. He is one of Don Albert’s Four Great Guardians!" 9
When Draco heard this, he said anxiously, "Charlie, I a m truly very sorry about today! You should leave with Claire now. Chief Jay and Mr. Morningstar have a very good relationship with one another. Chief Jay is from
the underground world, and he is very vicious. I do not want you and Claire to get hurt just because of me...”
Charlie smiled before he said, "Draco, you don't need t o apologize to me because of this matter today.
However, I feel a little embarrassed. I hope that you will not blame me for procuring you a stepmother today.”
"Um...” Draco was speechless.
Draco had always thought that Charlie was just joking with them, which was why he did not take his words seriously at all. However, now, it seemed as though Charlie was being serious and he meant all of his words!
This... what did it mean, then? 6
At this time, Charlie looked at Zell before he smiled and said, "You said that only one of the Four Great Guardians is coming here? That will not be lively enough! Why don’t we ask the remaining three of the Four Great Guardians to come over here too? After all, your daughter is getting married today. The more people who come here today, the merrier it will be!” 6
"You are truly the kind of person who refuses to admit defeat until you are faced with the grim reality!" Zell gritted his teeth before he cursed, "Okay, I will let you b e wild for a little longer. You will have to pay the price for your rampage later!”
Charlie shook his head and smiled helplessly as he said, "You odious old man and woman! You are
already in your fifties or sixties, so why are you still so bad-tempered? You see, I am still so young, but I am not angry at all. I can even speak to you so calmly." 6
