After saying that, she saw that Charlie seemed to be really afraid. So, she spoke up and said, "But you can just say so if you're really scared. I'll ask my father to arrange for you to run away and leave Hong Kong. They should not be able to do anything to you, then."
Dillion also overheard their conversation, and he yelled coldly, "Kid, you want to run away after Peking messing around with me?! Let me tell you, I will never let you off today if you refuse to kneel and grovel three times before me while slapping yourself a hundred times!"
Charlie looked up at Dillion and asked with a puzzled expression, "Are you joking with me?" "Joking with you?" Dillion thought that Charlie was afraid, and he said angrily, ' Who the f*ck do you think you are? Would I, Dillion Brown, joke around with the likes of you?!"
When Marianne saw Dillion's fierce appearance, she could not help but realize that the situation seemed to be getting out of hand. She did not bother about the fact that Charlie was holding on to her hand anymore. Instead, she quickly pulled Charlie aside and said in a low voice," Dillion is not someone to be trifled with. He is very vengeful. You should apologize to him quickly so that we can forget about this matter. Otherwise, I'm afraid that even my father will not be able to protect you...’
Charlie could not help but smack his lips as he put away his playful expression and said, "You want me to apologize to a good for-nothing? If this matter gets out to the public, what would my fellow countrymen think of me, then?”
Having said that, he turned to look at Dillion, who was in the car. He put away his playful expression from earlier and said seriously, “Kid, according to my previous temper, based on the words that you've just said, I would have already called for the royal body calligrapher to come over immediately. I would ask him to slap you ten thousand times first before putting some calligraphy on your forehead. However, you're lucky that the reason why I came to Hong Kong this time was not to waste time on a d*mned good-for-nothing like you. So, don't let me see your face again from now on. Otherwise, I will make sure that you become the Worm of Hong Kong instead of one of the Four Princes of Hong Kong!”
Marianne was surprised to hear his words, but it was already too late when she wanted to stop Charlie.
Dillion was instantly infuriated, and he pointed at Charlie and said coldly, "You're really courting your own death! Do you know that no one in the whole of Hong Kong dares to talk to me like this?!"
Charlie could not be bothered to pay attention to him and said indifferently, ' Remember what I've said. Stay out of my sight. Otherwise, you will be finished if I see you."
After that, Charlie took Marianne’s hand, turned around, and walked toward the parking lot exit.
Dillion did not catch up to them. Instead, he looked at Charlie's back through his rearview mirror as he gritted his teeth, took out his cell phone, and made a phone call.
At this moment, Marianne, who was being pulled away by Charlie, stomped her feet anxiously as she blurted out, "Charlie, why did you have to fight with Dillion?!"
Charlie asked her, "Isn’t that what you wanted? You wanted to use me as your shield, so I was only doing what you wished for. How was it? Are you satisfied with the effect?"
Marianne blurted out, "I wanted you to be my shield, but I did not want you to threaten him! You didn't have to say anything, and you could have just left with me! There was absolutely no need for you to provoke him! That man is very vengeful, and he will definitely come after you!"
Having said that, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and grabbed Charlie's hand as she wanted to walk back, and she said urgently, "No! You have to hurry and go back with me. I will ask my father to arrange for someone to send you out of Hong Kong immediately!"
"No need.” Charlie pulled her a little forcefully and then dragged her out as he said indifferently, "It's not my style to apologize, and it's even less of my style to run away. He is just one of the Four Princes of Hong Kong, and he is nothing to me at all. I will still be able to deal with them even if all Four Princes of Hong Kong are here."
"You..." Marianne stomped her feet anxiously as she was dragged away by Charlie, and she blurted out, "Charlie Wade! This is not the time for you to say these harsh words! They will kill you if you do not deal with it properly! It's all my fault! I'm begging you, okay? Please hurry up and leave first. I will ask my father to go to Oskia to look for you if you still want to discuss the collaboration with my father, alright?”
"No." Charlie said indifferently, "You already promised your father that you would bring me around Hong Kong, and you also promised him that you would take me to try the authentic snacks in Hong Kong tonight. You should make good on these promises first before you talk to me about other matters...”
