The Lethal Love Hunter by J.M.J (Robin Bruce)

Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Barry Newell Livia said in a cold voice, “If the rules of Purpeak Club are broken, I’m afraid some people will be in bigger trouble.” Manuel’s mouth twitched as he sized up the cold and arrogant Livia. For a while, there was a dilemma. Robin looked at the father and son with interest and let out a light laugh. “Jacob, there’s no need to pretend like this. Kneel down before me, and I won’t take the 16 million dollars.” “Asshole! Do you want to die?” Manuel furiously pointed at Robin, the four bodyguards behind him ready to strike. Robin looked up at Manuel. “You want to make a move? You better not. Your men are not powerful enough. “What’s more, if word gets out that you beat someone to default on your debt, it won’t be good for you! “The best way is to let your son pay it quickly or kneel before me, and then this matter will be over.” “How dare you!” Manuel’s face darkened as the four bodyguards beside him rushed toward Robin. Karina stepped forward and said in a cold voice, “Mr. Walsh, your son is ignorant. Do you not know the rules either?” Manuel frowned slightly and raised his eyes to Karina. “Ms. Huber, what do you mean by this?” “This bet was started by your son. “I bet the Huber Group’s Eastern Business District project worth 8 billion dollars on it, while they only bet 48 million dollars. “Now that my friend Robin won the bet, you want to renege? “Do you think I would waste time on a good-for-nothing like Jacob?” Manuel was slightly shocked. It was only now that he realized that the one who bet against Jacob was actually the Huber family’s eldest daughter.

Karina cast a glance at Manuel and the several brawny bodyguards around him. “Mr. Walsh, if you are going to solve the problem in this way, the Huber Group will deal with you!” Manuel narrowed his eyes at Robin and then at Karina. He was thinking about Karina’s words. If it were in the past, he would definitely not dare to make an enemy of the Huber Group. Now, it was not the same as before. The Walsh family lacked cash now and might collapse at any time. However, they got in with the Reynell family, the owner of World Real Estate. Today, if the Walsh family reached a deal with Cecilia, the Huber family, the top old family in Hallcester, would be nothing to them. Manuel laughed dryly and changed the topic. “Ms. Huber, this is just a children’s game. Do you take it seriously too?” Karina picked up the betting contract and said in a cold voice, “Mr. Walsh, do you mean that the contract signed at Purpeak Club is a children’s game?” Manuel’s eyelids twitched wildly. Without waiting for him to speak, Livia said in a deep voice, “Security Department, close Riding and Shooting Recreation Center immediately and deal with Ms. Huber’s bet with Jacob.” In an instant, the gate to the underground training ground of Purpeak Club opened. Dozens of Purpeak Club’s security guards who used to be mercenaries surrounded the Riding and Shooting Recreation Center. Manuel was certainly aware of their strength. Cecilia was able to fight against Conway, the Underground Demon King in Hallcester, all these years, partly because of the Purpeak Security Department. Manuel knew that anyone who broke the rules of Purpeak Club would be crippled or even killed. It seemed that if Jacob didn’t take out 16 million dollars today, he wouldn’t be able to leave. However, the Walsh family was in such a situation. Where could they get 16 million dollars in cash? Today was such a critical day, yet Jacob brought him so much trouble.

Manuel stepped on Jacob with one foot. “Brat, you caused the trouble, so you should solve it by yourself!” After saying that, Manuel shook his sleeves and left Riding and Shooting Recreation Center. Jacob panicked at once. Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from outside the crowd. “It’s so lively here today. Mr. Walsh lost money? How much? Just say it. I’ll pay it for you!” Jacob looked over excitedly when he heard that someone was willing to pay the money for him. When he saw that ugly face, his heart thumped. The person who came was Barry Newell, the right-hand man of Conway, the Underground Demon King. Barry was known as Death Lord. Conway had an underground bank and some secret entertainment clubs in Hallcester. Barry was in charge of all these illegal businesses. These were also the industries in which Conway got his start. Many business figures in Hallcester were killed by Barry just because they borrowed money from Conway’s underground bank. It would be terrifying if one took money from them. He had to pay it back with interest within the stipulated period. Otherwise, apart from the mortgaged assets, all the property under his name would be taken away. Miranda hastily pulled Jacob and whispered, “Mr. Walsh, you can’t…” Jacob thought otherwise. After today, the Walsh family would take a share of the investment in Eastern Business District. 16 million dollars would be nothing to them. “Mr. Newell, I need 16 million dollars, and I’ll pay you back with interest in a week.” Barry laughed out loud, “No problem! Considering the Walsh family’s status in Hallcester, even if you want ten times that amount, I can get it to you now.” Jacob glanced arrogantly at Robin and smiled, “Mr. Newell, thanks a lot then.” Barry signaled his men to bring a loan contract.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Mr. Walsh, sign it, and 16 million dollars will be transferred to you soon.” Jacob took the contract and gave it a cursory glance. He was then shocked. The contract asked him to pay back 48 million dollars in a week. “Mr. Newell, is the interest too much? I… I can’t…” Barry’s face went cold. “Jacob, are you toying with me? “I’m saving your ass, and you’re still bargaining? “Give him another contract!” Barry let his men take away this contract and put another one on the table. Jacob saw on the contract, the interest within a week changed from 48 million dollars to 80 million dollars, his whole body trembling. However, he knew in this situation, he had to sign it. The Walsh family could not afford to offend people like Conway and Barry. Conway and Barry were unscrupulous. Barry could kill Jacob in minutes. At that moment, Jacob’s forehead was in a cold sweat. Looking at the loan contract, Jacob held the pen, trembling. He did not dare to sign it. The expression on Barry’s face was instantly hideous. “Mr. Walsh, do you think I have a lot of time to accompany you in this place? “Do you want this 16 million dollars or not?” Jacob shook with fear for a moment, and he instantly signed his name and left his fingerprint on the contract. At that moment, he hated himself. If he had not wanted to humiliate Robin in front of Miranda and Karina, he wouldn’t be in this situation now. However, after signing the loan contract, Jacob wasn’t too scared. When he thought that his family would get a project worth nearly 1.6 billion dollars, he felt that 80 million dollars was nothing.

After signing the contract and paying the 16 million dollars, Jacob pointed at Robin and said, “Just wait. I won’t let you go!” Robin shrugged his shoulders. “I’m afraid you won’t have the chance.” Barry raised his eyes to Karina and walked up to her. He sized her up and laughed vulgarly, “Ms. Huber, it’s rare to meet you… “Let’s go to the café on the second floor for a cup of coffee and a good chat…” Karina ignored Barry and turned to Robin. “Come on. Let’s go to the front and have a look.” Barry’s face instantly went cold. “Ms. Huber, are you really not accepting my invitation?” Karina said without expression, “Who do you think you are? Why should I accept your invitation? Go away!” After saying that, she turned around and walked away. Seeing this, a crowd of onlookers looked at her with astonishment from behind. In Hallcester, the only ones who dared to talk to Barry in such a way were Cecilia and Karina. It was said that even Harold would not fight Barry head-on. They thought, “How dare Karina talk to Barry like this? “But it’s reasonable. “She’s such a noble and elegant lady. “How could she possibly agree to have coffee with Barry, the leader of the rascals?” Barry looked at Karina’s back and said in a cold voice, “Stop right there! What the hell are you so proud of? Once you take off your clothes, you are no different from the girls at our nightclubs!” Barry laughed evilly with a group of henchmen. Karina stopped abruptly, slowly turned around, and slapped Barry’s face. “Fuck you!” Barry’s face darkened. “Bitch, do you think I don’t dare to hit you?” He raised his thick dark hand toward Karina’s fair and delicate face.
