Chapter 167
Before the man could complete his sentence, the driver was already holding him at gunpoint.
It turned out that the cab driver was Jack, Thomas Dunn’s right-hand man.
Holding the revolver to Jon Xander’s forehead, Jack sneered, “I heard you wanted to seek revenge on Mr. Cross and Thomas after you escape, yeah?”
Jon Xander was shocked beyond words as he stared at Jack.
At the same time, Nathan Cross, Thomas Dunn and Colin Dunne had also driven out of the abandoned building.
When Nathan Cross’s car passed by the cab, he stopped.
The man wound down this car window and looked at Jon Xander, who had despair written all over his face. Nathan Cross said unfeelingly, “As you requested, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Remember to be kind in your next life.”
That was all Nathan Cross said, before he rolled up his window and instructed Colin Dunne, who was at the wheel, “Let’s go.”
Nathan Cross’s fleet of vehicles picked up pace as they drove further away.
Seconds later, a loud gunshot was heard from the cab behind.
With the illumination of the moonlight, Nathan Cross could see, from the rear-view mirror, Jack dragging out Jon Xander’s body from the cab and putting it into the trunk.
As he drove, Colin Dunne asked deferentially, “Young Master, it seems like the Zabinski family was behind all this. Should we do something to give them a warning?”
Nathan Cross replied in an unconcerned manner, “Let’s observe a while more. If this is not enough for the Zabinski family to learn their lesson and they try something funny again, I don’t mind exterminating that entire family.”
Meanwhile, Jerry Zabinski was lying in bed in the VIP ward of the Alberesque hospital, expressionless.
His parents, Finley Zabinski and Harriett Quigley were by their son’s bedside, looking at him with pained expressions.
“Isn’t that Jon Xander supposed to be the tyrant of the South? He’s undeserving of that reputation. Your grandpa has instructed him to finish off Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn, but not only did he fail his mission, but he also got himself killed instead!” Finley Zabinski was burning with wrath as he spoke to his son.
“But Jerry, don’t worry yeah? Our Zabinski family has men everywhere in the South. Your grandpa said he would get a more reliable person to avenge you.”
Jerry Zabinski, who was in a white patient gown, finally opened his mouth to speak. His voice did not sound as booming and orotund as it used to be, but instead, had a sharper and more effeminate tone to it.
He said unemotionally, “Dad, tell grandpa that I’m going to get revenge myself.”
Finley Zabinski was momentarily stunned when he heard what his son said. Harriett Quigley tried to persuade her son, “Jerry my dear, why lower ourselves to battle those crazy people?”
Finley Zabinski added, “Exactly! Just leave it to your grandpa. Our aim is just to see Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn dead anyway.”
With a menacing look in his eyes, Jerry Zabinski said in a hoarse voice, “What good is revenge if we can’t feel the satisfaction of it? I’m going to torture Nathan Cross with my own hands, such that he’ll rather be dead instead, and beg for my mercy. Not only that, but I’ll also make sure his wife gets raped many times over!”
“Sure, sure. We’ll do as you deem fit. We’ll leave it to you to decide. I’ll tell grandpa to halt taking action and let that son of a b*tch Nathan Cross live for a while more. You can deal with him personally after you’re discharged from the hospital two months later.” Finley Zabinski and his wife tried to calm their agitated son down.
Two months passed by in a blink of an eye.
The Smith Family, especially Sean Smith, had been secretly worrying that the Zabinski family would stir up trouble for them.
Sean Smith had even handed over Diva Limited, which he had originally planned to gift the Zabinski family, to Benson Smith.
The reason for this move was to let Benson Smith take the first blow in the event the Zabinski family sought revenge.
However, it had been more than two months since Benson Smith took over the subsidiary.
Apart from sending Jon Xander to kick up a scene in the company, the Zabinski family had not taken any further action.
This evening, Sean Smith had called for a meeting with his eldest son, Samuel, and his third son, Paul, in his study. The agenda of the meeting was to discuss a plan to gain back control of Diva Limited. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
The brothers had expressed their approval when they heard of their dad’s proposition to recover the company.
“Dad, it seems like the Zabinski family has let the matter slide. They seem to have no intention of getting even with us. Since this is the case, there’s no reason to continue letting Benson manage Diva Limited,” Samuel Smith sneered.
Paul Smith agreed, saying, “Yeah, Benson and his family are of no value to us anymore. It’s time to get the company back.”
Their father squinted and replied, “Okay then, in my capacity as the Group’s chairman, I’ll remove Benson from his position and reappoint May to manage Diva Limited instead.”
