"Ms Salvage, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's best if you don't get involved!" Douglas Watts responded coldly and then pointed at Billy and the others. "Just hand them over to us!"
"Mr Watts, you must be kidding." Simona Salvage continued speaking. "All the people dining here today are friends of mine. How can it not concern me? If customers can't even have basic security when they come to my restaurant, who would dare to come in the future?"
"Simona Salvage, don't push your luck!" Mick Watts pointed at her and shouted loudly. "If you keep meddling, do you believe I'll have my men smash your restaurant right now?"
"Master Mick, that's quite a big mouth you have there!" Simona Salvage smirked. "You can give it a try!"
"What a bitch!" Mick Watts thundered and signaled to his people. "Go! Smash everything here!"
"Stop!" Douglas spoke up.
"Uncle, she..." Mick wanted to insist.
"I'll handle it!" Douglas Watts furrowed his brow slightly and looked at Simona Salvage. "Do you want to protect them?"
"Harleen is my friend. If Mr Watts can show some leniency, I'll definitely visit you to express my gratitude another day." Simona Salvage replied.
"What if I don't give you that leniency?" Douglas Watts responded coldly.
"Then it depends on your abilities to take them away from me." Simona Salvage said with a furrowed brow.
"Heh, quite the attitude you have!" Douglas Watts sneered. "Do you think you being the Salvage family's young miss makes me wary of you? You're too naive. In the eyes of the Watts, you are nothing."
"By the way, do you think that by making it onto Orson Baker's list, the Salvage family has climbed onto a big tree?"
"Hmm?" Billy's ears perked up when he heard Orson Baker's name.
"Unfortunately, your beloved may not have a bright future ahead of him!" Douglas Watts continued to sneer.
"What do you mean?" Simona Salvage furrowed her brow.
"You want to know? Why don't you try calling him yourself?"
"Webster!" Simona Salvage turned to the elderly man beside her.
The elderly man nodded and dialed a number on his phone. However, they made five or six consecutive calls, and none of them were answered.
"Miss, the calls can't get through," the elderly man reported to Simona Salvage.
Simona Salvage looked grim, and she turned to Douglas Watts. "What have you done to him?!"
"Ms Salvage, that's an overstatement. How could I dare to do anything to a high-ranking SHADOW member like him?" Douglas Watts sneered again. "However, whether you can see him tomorrow or not, I cannot say."
Stout's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this. He turned to look at Billy.
"Why does this involve a member of SHADOW?" they thought.
"You scoundrel!" Simona Salvage shouted angrily. "Are you even concerned about these four people now?"
"Ms Salvage, who is Orson Baker to you?" asked Billy.
"Do you know him, Mr Gardner?" Simona paused before continuing, "He's my fiance."
