The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 2017

Chapter 2017

The manager shouted again, “Get them. Give these two a good beating. I’ll take full responsibility and pay you 30 thousand! Hurry, beat up these two and take me to the hospital.”

There was a saying that money talks. Although 30 thousand dollars was not much money, a few of these people were tempted anyway. They immediately rushed up to attack Zander and Sean.

Zander immediately slapped them.

He slapped them on their faces, knocking them to the ground like firecrackers being set off. Those who got hit were badly battered.

Several men who did nothing covered their faces aggrievedly.

“We didn’t do anything! Why did you beat us too?”

“Yeah, we were only passing by!”

Zander sneered. “Can’t I be annoyed by you?”

Sean spoke up.

“Zander, stop wasting time. Get their boss here and settle this from the top.”

“Alright.” Zander was just about to grab someone and ask them where their boss was when he saw a half-bald man with a big belly and gold-rimmed glasses walk up, surrounded by four bodyguards.

“What the hell? Who’s causing trouble here?”

Though he said that, the half-bald man did not even glance at Sean and Zander.

Instead, he held a small mirror with his left hand and a small comb with his right hand while slowly and carefully combing what little hair he had left in front of the mirror.

“Oh! I look as good as ever.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at my handsome face. I look so charming no matter when. It’s only a pity I suffer hair loss when I’m so handsome. But hair loss doesn’t hide my good looks.

Sean said to the half-bald man, “They call me Mr. Lennon. I’m buying your company. What’s your price?”

The half-bald man froze when he heard that.

He thought, ‘How could someone say such a thing so casually? But from the sound of it, it’s not something a poor man pretending to be rich would say.’

He knew all the famous people in Ocean City. He had never heard of a Mr. Lennon.

Moreover, the Lake family, the top family in Ocean City, somehow seemed to have a grudge against everyone surnamed Lennon recently. Many people with the surname Lennon that was a bit famous would go bankrupt due to ” accidents”. They all met a tragic end.

Besides, no one would just buy a company without doing some research.

After thinking about it, the half-bald man got only one result.

This Mr. Lennon was probably good at acting. That was why he was temporarily fooled.
