Thomas sneered and covered his face to look as he stared at the head that popped out from behind Mrs. Flores' shoulder." Why are you hiding when you so bravely told me you'd slap me again if I repeat my words?" he sneered. "Come out here now. I'm going to say it again."
Yannie bit her lip as she silently stared at Thomas.
Joshua squinted at Thomas as he indifferently remarked, "Mr. Howard, is your face not stinging at the moment? If you dare to say such things again, maybe I'd join Yannie in slapping you, too. Once I do that, you might not be able to sit comfortably and threaten her anymore."
With a smirk, he coldly added, "Thomas Howard, I advise you to stop while you still can. You've created enough chaos for my family this morning, and if you continue with your act, I won't let you leave so easily.
"You should know that the Lynch family and the Landry family are the ones in charge of Merchant City. If I want to do something to you, no one can stop me."
Thomas narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, knowing that Joshua was more than capable of doing what he said. Thus, Thomas sneered and stood up from the couch. "If that's the case. I'll be taking my leave now. He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day. This is your territory, after all."
He squinted and looked at Joshua before he sneered, "Still, it won’t be long until you and the Landry family lose control over this city. Just wait and see."
After that, he took his coat and strode to the door.
Joshua sat on the couch as he watched Thomas leave with a smile on his face.
When Thomas and his assistant were finally far away, Luna exhaled deeply and walked toward Yannie and Mrs. Flores, extending her hands to grab Yannie's hand. "Does it hurt?"
