"What do I want?"
With a light laugh and a shake of his head, Fabricio, while calmly removing the needle, stated, "My request is quite simple, firstly, from this moment onward, I don't want to see your people causing trouble in Bevelle Market, especially near Lee's Grill."
"Secondly, due to your people's actions last night, Lee's Grill suffered significant losses, and you are liable for compensation."
Scar nodded immediately, urgently instructing, "Aaron, did you hear that? Notify our associates right away."
"Also, prepare a 100,000 dollars check, personally deliver it to Lee's Grill."
"Yes, Scar!"
After Aaron left, Scar turned back and respectfully inquired, "Sir, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Fabricio replied nonchalantly, "For the moment, I am content."
"Regarding the other matter on my...?"
"Let's wait until I am completely satisfied."
Fabricio smirked, his tone turning sardonic, "Who gave you the liberty to allow your subordinates to behave arrogantly and violently at the People's Hospital? Given that, I don't mind imparting a lesson and inclined to prolong your situation for a while."
"What the...!?"
Scar exploded instantly, passionately asking, "Who? Who's causing trouble for us now? Who?"
The henchmen looked at each other, and after a while, someone finally stepped forward and admitted, "Yes, it's Aaron."
Fuck! ! !
Scar was infuriated beyond measure. Just as he was about to recall him, Fabricio casually intervened, "That's enough, I'm not in the mood to watch your theatrics."
Scar became anxious, urgently pleading, "But Sir, what.. am I to do tomorrow?"
Fabricio raised an eyebrow, jesting, "This time, I've extended it to 72 hours, you only need to report to me every three days, remember, during this period, don't do anything that displeases me, or else..."
Fuck! ! !
Scar exploded in frustration.
Who am I? I'm the bigwig in the Economic Development District.
Now, you're asking me to report to you every three days. Am I a grade-schooler? Or am I clocking in for work at your place? This is beyond acceptable! You're pushing it too far!
However, as Scar thought this, Fabricio narrowed his eyes and observed him, "What's this? Not satisfied? Fine, I'll change it back to thirty-six hours."
Scar tensed up, hastily assuring with a smile plastered on his face, "No, no, I have absolutely no dissatisfaction, please, don't punish me, show me some mercy."
With a slight scoff, Fabricio indifferently said, "So be it. Three days from now, at six in the evening, see me at Lee's Grill."
After saying this, Fabricio turned to leave, but with Scar's fate in his hands, there was no way Scar would miss a chance to ingratiate him.
So, he called out urgently, "Sir, where are you going? Let me escort you."
Fabricio thought for a moment; indeed, there was a ready car, might as well save some taxi fare?
So he didn't refuse and said, "Then I'll give you a chance. Send me to Bevelle Market."
"No problem, Kiba, go and bring the car downstairs for me!"
The doctors watched helplessly as Scar and his group escorted Fabricio away, after five or six minutes, they were still unable to grasp the situation.
Initially, they wondered, who had the audacity to offend Scar like this?
They had heard that just a few pricks with needles had nearly incapacitated Scar, this method was baffling, finally, they understood.
So, it was all the doing of Doctor Harrison.
But wasn't he afraid?
Yet, recalling Scar's performance just now, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Scar turned into a mere speck in front of Doctor Harrison, having to personally report to the Doctor Harrison every three days, with such methods, who would be afraid?
Impressive.
After this time, they were all completely convinced.
On the other side, outside Lee's Grill in Bevelle Market .
Jarell bit into a bunch of roots with force, chewing, and snarled, "Damn it, when will he return?"
"Soon or later, he'll be back!" Kocsis, with a face filled with resentment, affirmed, "He has a habit of taking a bath every day, so, as long as we wait here, I'm sure he'll show up!"
"Better be the case."
Jarell clenched his teeth, swearing, "That damn bastard made us lose our jobs, if I don't personally flay his skin, I won't name Jarell Lee!!!"
On the other side, a slightly overweight woman watched him coldly, "What's the use of skinning him? Can that make up for my losses?"
Jarell's confidence wavered instantly, nodding meekly, "Eukene, what do you suggest we do?"
With a heavy snort, his cousin Eukene sneered, "Didn't you mention his sister being decent looking? Good, I know someone rich who fancies such well-bred girls, if we sell her, it's easily worth a hundred to eighty thousand dollors."
Jarell and Kocsis rejoiced upon hearing this, especially the latter, she exclaimed eagerly, "Really? That's fantastic, when he returns, we'll let him get Waimarie, that little wench, out of the hospital immediately."
"Not enough!" Eukene's voice turned malicious, "Shouldn't we spend some money for calling up those people today? Huh, then I'll remove all of his kidneys, otherwise, even my annual income won't make up for it!"
"Yes!" Kocsis's expression turned ferocious, "They're all on their way to die anyway, if we don't let him use his remaining energy, how can we justify all the humiliation we faced yesterday!?"
Before she finished, they spotted an Audi parked in front of Lee's Grill, and then a figure stepped out of the car.
"Fabricio!!!"
Kocsis leaped from her seat, blocking his path alongside Jarell, Eukene, and the seven or eight people they had spent a fortune to bring in.
"You bastard, you dare to come back?!"
His gaze swept across each of their faces, finally locking onto Kocsis's, Fabricio shook his head, "Why wouldn't I dare to return? But you, aren't you shameless? After being deceived so many times, you're still sticking with him. Are bitch and fraud a perfect match?"
Kocsis exploded, shouting fervently, "Fabricio, you're still this arrogant? Do you think anyone can protect you today?"
"Look behind me, Ervine from East City District. If you keep showing off to me, I'll have Ervine break your legs!?"
Jarell stepped forward arrogantly, commanding, "Stop blabbering, now, kneel down immediately, do you hear me!?"
Ervine and the others approached, trying to intimidate Fabricio.
But Fabricio remained indifferent, he said coldly, "Don't make me say it a second time, fuck off you all!"
