Chapter 75
The trio continued to talk about how Lightning was defeated so easily by Nathan Cross because he had chosen to challenge him one-to-one. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
At this moment, the butler entered and reported, “Sir, there is a man named Fernando Larson outside who wishes to see you.”
“This crazy man, why is he here again?” Joseph Myers frowned and asked with displeasure.
Samuel Smith asked curiously, “Mr. Myers. what’s up?”
He replied casually, “He was one of my men. I heard that he was once in the military in Africa and is numb to killing.”
“I saw that he was good at fighting and decided to hire him as my bodyguard last time. However, he kept causing trouble. Last month, he’d fought with someone at the bar and killed three people.”
“After that incident, he came to ask for my help. I gave him some money and asked him to flee immediately.”
“I didn’t know that he was still in Channing. And now, he’s here to look for me again. Does he take me for charity?”
Joseph instructed the butler to tell the bodyguards to chase Fernando out.
However, Samuel Smith stopped him and suggested, “Mr. Myers, since Fernando is so ruthless and he’s on the run, why don’t we make use of him?”
“What do you mean?” Joseph asked, as a look of confusion could be seen on his face.
With a sly smile, Samuel continued, “Fernando Larson is just an outlaw. Killing one or two more people does not matter to him, considering the number of lives that he has on his hand. Why don’t you just give him some money and ask him to kill Nathan Cross?”
Paul added on too, “Exactly. After all, he’d once worked for you. Now that he is in trouble, he might hate you if you kick him out. Just give him some money and ask him to do something for you. It’s a win- win.”
Joseph pondered over their advice with a gloomy expression. Alas, he nodded, “You two are right. Get the crazy man in.”
The butler responded, “Yes, sir!”
Very quickly, he brought in an average-looking but rather buff man. It was none other than Fernando Larson.
Just as he stepped into the living room, a few of Joseph’s bodyguards stopped him.
They scanned his body with a hand-held metal detector to make sure he was not carrying any weapons before allowing him near Joseph Myers.
Fernando looked genuine. However, one could occasionally spot a tinge of viciousness flash past his dazed eyes.
He allowed the bodyguards to check him and as a bodyguard drew the scanner over him, a beeping sound could be heard.
“He has a weapon on him!”
“Hand it over, now!”
A few bodyguards looked at Fernando on high alert.
Even Joseph and the Smith brothers who were seated on the sofa looked over.
Fernando let out a smile and unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his scar-ridden body.
There were not only knife scars, but also bullet wounds and scars caused by grenade explosions. It was a terrifying sight.
The bodyguards looked at him in shock and many of them gulped at the sight.
They had all thought that his man must have gone through tons of battles on the African battleground for him to look like this!
As he noticed everybody’s shocked expressions, Fernando turned satisfied. With a slightly arrogant tone, he assured, “Don’t worry. I do not have a weapon on me. I just have a few bullets and grenade pieces in me.”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned increasingly stupefied.
Joseph made eye contact with the Smith brothers. Suddenly, they came to the realization that they needed a truly vicious man such as Fernando Larson, and not someone who was only vicious in-name, such as Lightning.
Joseph stood up and approached Fernando with a smile as he greeted him, “Hey, crazy man! You are here!”
Fernando responded almost immediately, “Mr. Myers!”
Joseph’s gaze darted up and down Fernando’s figure a few times. With a laugh, he continued, “Hey man, don’t blame them for what they’ve done. I offended someone recently and I almost got kicked in
the head for it.”
“These bodyguards are here to protect me and hence, they are strict with whoever comes near me. Please understand that.”
Fernando took a glance at Joseph and spotted the bandage on his head. Widening his eyes, he shouted in fury, “Who is so daring as to hit you! Tell me! I will sort him out now!”
