Chapter 919

Just then, Leo sprang forward, blocking their path with a grin on his face.

"Trying to leave? Have you no shame? Did you forget there's still something you need to do?"

Nelson's expression turned grim. He glared at Leo and snapped, "Do you know who I am? Are you sure you want to make me kneel and call you 'Daddy?' Aren't you afraid of the consequences?"

How could Nelson dare to compare his connections with Zane, Neil, Jack, and the rest?

Leo wasn't afraid of playing the background game. He smiled and said calmly, "I don't care if you're the president. You're calling me 'Daddy' today. That's non- negotiable."

Wilhelmina stood off to the side in fear. She hadn't told Nelson who Jack really

was.

Tension crackled in the billiard room. Nelson tried to bluff his way out, but Leo blocked his path without flinching.

How could Nelson have the nerve to try and walk away after losing the bet? Since when was life that easy?

There were five people in Nelson's gang, two of them women. The remaining three, including Nelson himself, looked soft and delicate, more like pretty boys than fighters, despite the arrogant looks on their faces.

On the other side, Jack's crew-including lan-had five men and three women. Every one of them was tall, solidly built, and used to stirring up trouble. They weren't the least bit afraid of a fight.

Leo and Jack, especially, were seasoned brawlers. They'd taken on ten

opponents at once and still come out on top. Why would they be afraid of Nelson's threat?

If Nelson refused to kneel and beg for mercy, he'd be leaving the place flat on his back.

Outnumbered and clearly outmatched, Nelson quickly realized his threats carried no weight. Panic crept into his heart. He had come in full of confidence, certain of victory. Never did he expect Jack to play so well and effortlessly defeat him.

Kneeling and begging? That would be the ultimate humiliation.

But if Nelson didn't do as they say, judging by the fierce looks in his opponent's eyes, they clearly had no intention of letting things slide.

Nelson stood frozen, torn and anxious.

Meanwhile, Wilhelmina fixed her gaze on Jack. "Are you really going to be so heartless? Think carefully about the consequences. If you go through with this, there'll be no going back for us."

There was a deeper meaning behind her words. If Jack chose to let them off the hook, perhaps she would reconsider their relationship.

But it was only a possibility, a faint hope. If Jack refused to let go, she would never look back. Their ties would be severed for good.

Wilhelmina was hoping Jack would weigh the consequences. But all her warning earned was a mocking smile.

Who did Wilhelmina think she was? To Jack, she wasn't even worth the dirt on his shoes.

He held a deep grudge. The

humiliation that Wilhelmina had

once inflicted on him had never been

had the

forgotten. And now, he had the

perfect chance to wound her pride

Jack asked coldly, "Who do you think you are? Do I even know you? You'd all

better hold up your end of the deal or you will regret it."

Cody jumped up and bellowed, "Try touching us if you've got the guts! You have no idea who we're back-ouch!"

Before he could finish, Neil, who was fed up with him, launched forward and slammed an elbow right into his face.

Cody didn't stand a chance against Neil's solid, heavy frame. He let out a scream and collapsed to the floor, rolling in pain.

Neil didn't stop there. He followed up with punch after punch, hammering Cody relentlessly. In the end, Cody's teeth flew, his face swelled up and clumps of his hair were torne feaving him nearly bald.
