Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Hit Me_1
Benson Dragon could never have dreamed that in the small Gonzalez City,
he would suffer two slaps within an hour.
“You dare to hit me?” His gaze was icy, the words almost squeezed from between his teeth.
“Heh!”
Lucan Davenport snorted lightly, looking at his brothers behind him with a hint of mockery, “Guys, this kid actually seems dissatisfied? Does he really not know that our Cook Family is about to rise in Gonzalez City!”
“Haha! Boss, this is just a metal dimwit, should we brothers help you teach him a lesson?”
“You little brat, don’t even recognize Bran Cook? You must be blind!”
“Get him!”
The employees behind them all showed eagerness, rubbing their hands together, ready to jump into action.
“Bran Cook?” Benson Dragon’s face darkened, his tone exceedingly cold, “Now, kneel and apologize, or I will kill your entire family!”
Just a minor Cook Family in Gonzalez City—through Mr. Thorneycroft’s tone earlier, he knew that such a small family was utterly disregarded by Mr. Thorneycroft.
Thus, to exterminate them would be a piece of cake.
It wouldn’t take long for Fabian Percival to become the king of Gonzalez City.
And he would be the second most important person in Gonzalez City.
“You want me, to kneel?”
Upon hearing Benson Dragon’s words, Lucan Davenport stepped forward in great surprise, pointing at himself, “And you want to kill my entire family?”
“Correct! You can try and see if I can’t do it!”
A smug look flashed across Benson Dragon’s face.
Indeed, it was the ignorance of someone from a small town—where had all their bluster gone?
But now, no matter how much they groveled, they couldn’t escape death!
“Young man, take a look at what this is.”
Lucan Davenport extended his hand, asking seriously.
Benson Dragon glanced and saw Lucan’s hand was empty, nothing there. “You’re trying to trick me again?”
Slap!
Before he could react, Lucan smacked him across the face, flipping him over onto the dining table.
Even the teacup in Fabian Percival’s hand was knocked over, spilling tea all over him.
“You can’t even handle this simple matter!”
Fabian Percival, taking the handkerchief passed by Elwood Thorneycroft, spoke with some displeasure.
If they couldn’t even deal with these people, how would they help him clean up the mess in Gonzalez City?
After getting rid of Aron Jackson, restructuring the businesses would take a long time.
This wasn’t something he could handle alone.
“Young man, earlier you were so eager to meet Fabian Percival.”
After putting away the handkerchief, Fabian Percival stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and with a smile, came up to Lucan, “I am Fabian Percival.”
“You’re Fabian Percival?”
Lucan, after hearing his words, said in surprise, “Then why didn’t you speak up earlier?”
“At no point did I deny it,” Fabian Percival said with a faint smile, patting Lucan on the shoulder, “It’s understandable to be hot-blooded when you’re young, but don’t act too recklessly.”
He gestured towards Benson Dragon, “This gentleman is my right-hand man, and you’ve hit him. I need an apology, and it must be sincere.”
Throughout the conversation, Fabian Percival’s tone remained dominant, leaving no room for negotiation.
Over the years, his assertive character had built this commanding presence.
“That Itai Huntington…”
Lucan exclaimed, slapping his thigh, his face turning pale with shock, “Doesn’t that mean I’ve just offended a friend of Mr. Thorneycroft? This is bad, this is really bad!”
“Haha!”, Fabian Percival laughed heartily, waving his hand, “It’s fine, those people are not my friends, in fact, they might be my enemies. Today, you’ve helped me out. As long as it satisfies Benson Dragon, I can pretend this never happened.”
“You little rascal, you’re scared now? You were so arrogantly hitting me just a moment ago!”
Benson Dragon approached Lucan triumphantly, speaking with a mocking tone, “Just now, you were so bold and imposing, weren’t you, Mr. Lucan?!”
What he enjoyed most was seeing the look of terror on someone’s face once they knew his identity.
And that look of regret.
“So do you know who I am?”
Lucan Davenport pointed at his own nose and asked with a smile.
“Aren’t you Bran Cook?”
Benson Dragon furrowed his brows, “You already said so yourself just now.”
How come, he didn’t seem to see any sign of fear in the other’s eyes?
“Hehe, did you say you are Fabian Percival?”
Lucan Davenport turned his head and pointed at Fabian Percival.
“Is Mr. Thorneycroft’s name something you can casually call out? Slap your own face!”
Wind Dragon bellowed angrily.
“Indeed, I am Fabian Percival, I have already told you just now, does Young Master Cook wish for me to repeat myself?”
Fabian Percival spoke with a displeased tone, clearly becoming a bit angry.
“If you are Fabian Percival, then I’m Fabian Percival’s daddy!”
No sooner had Lucan Davenport finished speaking than a roar of laughter erupted from behind him.
“Son, quickly call our Bran Cook ‘daddy’!”
“You don’t kneel when you see your own father?”
“No manners at all!”
These employees stirred up trouble in quick succession.
Just then, people from several nearby tables came over, bringing their drinks to Lucan Davenport: “Bran Cook! We’ve just realized it’s you, I toast to you, sir. When Bran Cook assists Mr. Thorneycroft, don’t forget to take care of us too!”
“Right! Our current interests must be protected by Bran Cook, we thank you in advance!”
“Later, for the industries swallowed up by Aron Jackson, we would also implore Bran Cook to put in a good word for us with Mr. Thorneycroft, to help us claim them back. We’ll be eternally grateful!”
Having said this, these people drained their glasses.
“Worry not, you will surely be the first I look after when the time comes.”
Lucan Davenport laughed as he took one bank card after another, tossing the gold and valuables to his employees to keep safe.
“This is ridiculous! Mr. Thorneycroft is right in front of you, and you’re still looking for him?”
Benson Dragon was almost furious inside, what kind of fools were these?
The main man was right there, could they not see?
“Worry not, I have been away from Gonzalez City for many years, and my appearance may have been forgotten by people.”
Fabian Percival, however, wasn’t angry at all, in fact, he felt somewhat pleased.
It seemed that even before he had returned to Gonzalez City, his reputation had already preceded him.
The fawning behavior of these merchants gave Fabian Percival even more confidence.
A man’s name, a tree’s shadow.
After many years away, the name ‘Fabian Percival’ still echoed throughout Gonzalez City.
“Who is this?”
The merchants of Gonzalez City sized up Fabian Percival, their expressions filled with confusion.
“This is…”
Benson Dragon was just about to proudly introduce him, but Lucan Davenport interrupted, “This is my son, newly adopted.”
“Bullshit!”
This outburst directly enraged Benson Dragon.
Whoosh!
The moment he finished speaking, Lucan Davenport kicked out, landing his foot on Benson Dragon’s abdomen!
“Ugh…”
Benson Dragon groaned, kneeling on the ground in extreme pain.
“Well done! How dare he curse Bran Cook, does he not want to live?”
“Bran Cook, do you need our help? The kid really doesn’t know his place!”
The merchants chimed in one after another, each trying to curry favor with Lucan Davenport.
“No need, dealing with this kind of trash is a job for my employees.”
Lucan Davenport sneered with disdain and waved his hand, “Beat him!”
