The tattooed man’s underlings had guns too, but they didn’t dare move under Winston’s compelling gaze. They looked toward the tattooed man. Scared out of his wits, the tattooed man wasn’t able to give any orders. He could only watch as Winston’s people took the debtor and the money away, leaving behind 5,000 yuan—the principal amount.

  Winston was the last to leave. He imitated the tattooed man, pointing the gun toward him and saying, “I’ll be covering for that guy from now on. If you want anything, come to me. Otherwise……”


  A “bang” rang out, and a bullet hit the wall.

  The tattooed man’s legs instantly gave out and he sat on the puddle of pee with a ghastly pale face.

  Winston was given a fright as well and quickly put the gun aside. In the end, he said, “This is pretty good. I’ll take it as a gift of apology for hurting me.”


  Winston then left the factory as well, taking the gun with him.

  “Brother Wei, Brother Wei, how are you?” Those underlings flocked over to the tattooed man’s side like flies, asking noisily.

  The tattooed man took a look at his pants, then flew into a rage from embarrassment. “Scram! Inform Brother Leopard immediately that someone is trying to snatch our territory!”


  “Yes, yes, yes.” An underling quickly took out his phone to make the call.

  Putting aside how things were over at this side, on Winston’s side, he gave 10,000 yuan to Lanky’s group while keeping 10,000 for himself. He then looked at the two people he had saved in deep thought.

  “What are your plans now?” Winston asked.

  The middle-aged man looked as if he had just woken up from a dream. He knelt and kowtowed at Winston, begging him to continue protecting him. He said that Brother Leopard wouldn’t let him off so easily.

  Of course Winston knew that. He tossed the gun to Lanky and said, “You guys protect them for now. Keep your guards up. I’ll go buy a phone right away. If there are any problems, you can call me.”


  “Alright, Brother Tiger,” Lanky immediately replied.

  The girl had been sobbing for a long time and finally managed to calm down. She wiped her tears and said, “I don’t trust you guys. I want to leave by myself.”


  She was a girl, after all. Living together with a bunch of guys, moreover, with them being a bunch of ruffians, it might just be another hell pit.

  Winston was used to treating females with grace and immediately took out 2,000 yuan from his share. He handed it to her and said, “Go as far away as you can for now. Things will be fine after some time.”


  The girl was stunned and accepted the money hesitantly.

  Winston then looked toward the middle-aged man and said, “I’ll take it that you owe me this 2,000 yuan.”


  “Why?” Upset, the middle-aged man’s face was filled with reluctance. He was a typical example of an ungrateful person.

  “You’re the one who gave her the money. I’m not paying for it. Lass, return the money to him. I won’t owe money on your behalf. I don’t even have any money on me.”


  The girl stared at the middle-aged man with hatred, shouting hysterically, “If it wasn’t because you didn’t pay up your debt, would I be caught by them? You were the one who got me into this. I’m really down on my luck to be your daughter!”


  The two of them got into an intense quarrel. However, when Winston raised his hand, they stopped in unison.

  Winston gestured with his gaze for the girl to leave. He then said to the middle-aged man, “Regardless of what you think, you owe me 2,000 yuan. I won’t charge you interest for it, but if you don’t pay me back……”


  He looked at the middle-aged man’s big belly and smiled coldly, saying, “It just so happens that I have two carnivorous pets at home. You won’t die a meaningless death.”


  The middle-aged man’s face turned pale. He understood that this important character in front of him might be even more brutal than Brother Leopard and that there was no point in saying more. He shut his mouth as a silent sign of agreement.

  The girl cast a glance filled with admiration and gratitude toward Winston, suddenly having an impulse to stay by his side. However, when she looked at his fierce face, fear rose in her heart and she quickly ran off with the money.
