chapter 18 intimidation

"Once and for all," Hiroko showed hesitation on her face and asked timidly, "Don't tell me, you are planning to..." "Of course not! What is going on in your head? I just want Pinckney to know that I am not someone he can offend, so he shouldn't trouble me. It's not whatever nonsense you thought of." Canyn was a little dumbfounded. The present society is governed by law, so ancient warriors, and supernatural beings, including cultivators, must also abide by the law. Because the state has the power to uphold the law, and that power is very, very powerful. "You scared me to death." Hiroko relaxed. "What are you afraid of? Are you worried about me? I've told you, don't fall in love with me, not even a little bit," Canyn said with a smile. "Who likes you? How conceited," Hiroko asked, "Why are you so powerful? Who did you call just now? Who are you?" "You have so many questions, but I'm not going to tell you." Hiroko doesn't need to know so much. "Tell me." "I'm not telling you. I'm not telling you even if I'm beaten to death." "I won't beat you to death, just tell me." "If you won't beat me, all the more I won't need to tell you." "I couldn't care less about knowing." Hiroko was speechless. How can a grown man be so petty? It's an honor for him that I want to know more about him. Since he doesn't want it, there's no need to give him that honor. "I have something to do in the afternoon. I need to go to the hospital to meet someone. Why don't you go home first?" Canyn said, "This morning has been crazy enough, having a quiet afternoon should not be a problem, right?" "I don't want to, who are you meeting at the hospital? Can't I follow you?" Hiroko asked curiously. "You can follow, but..." "Since I can follow, no more buts. I'm helping you, okay? If you work long enough, you'll get more pay," Hiroko said, "This is my reward to you for saving me just now." "This repayment is too insincere," Canyn curled his lips and said, "You can consider offering yourself, that would be better." "Stop dreaming," Hiroko chuckled. "Let's go get something to eat first." "Is there anything delicious outside? Why don't we go home and you can continue cooking?" Hiroko thought about the food in the morning and missed it a little. "Think of something better," Canyn straight away ignored Hiroko's suggestion. "Stingy," Hiroko stuck out her tongue. After Mansel put down the phone, he asked for Gannicus and Forney without hesitation. Canyn's incident was a blessing in disguise for them. They became Mansel's confidants. Does Mansel resent them? Of course, he does. But no one expected that they would be going against someone tough like Canyn. If not for this, both of them are not completely at fault. And since these two people interacted with Canyn before, Mansel decided to have them by his side. As for the purpose of bringing them with him, even Mansel was not sure. Who knows, they might be useful when dealing with Canyn. Soon, under the orders of Gannicus and Forney, Mansel gathered hundreds of people, divided them into more than a dozen vans, and headed directly towards Pinckney's game hall. Mansel's territory is mainly clustered in a few streets near Tokai University, which is not close to the area where Pinckney's game arcade is located. Following the rules, Mansel had crossed the line. But Mansel couldn't care about this now. If he couldn't do what Canyn asked him to do well, and if Canyn became angry, he felt terrible just thinking about it. In addition, Mansel also regarded this as an opportunity. What he was worried about was that Canyn ignored him. The more he ignored and didn't care, the more Mansel felt unsure and anxious. But if he could make Canyn realize his usefulness and value, it would be completely different. Therefore, no matter what situation he encounters, Mansel must handle it beautifully. A dozen cars parked at the entrance of Pinckney's game hall, and then hundreds of people entered directly. This situation immediately frightened some young people who were playing games there. They stopped playing, quickly checked out, and left. Even those who were usually bolder lost interest in watching the fight. "Go, change some game coins, everyone can play as you like, I'm treating you today, everyone can relax," Mansel took out a wad of money, gave it to Gannicus, and said with a smile. "Okay." "Thank you, boss," a large group of people shouted in unison. Some staff in the arcade were frightened and their expressions changed drastically. "Boss, Mansel came," Someone quietly called Pinckney immediately. "Who?" Pinckney is on his way to the hospital. His legs are still not working properly. He was afraid of any sequelae and planned to go for a check-up. In addition, his group of brothers were also injured. They also need to go to the hospital. Otherwise, Pinckney will lose the support of his people. "Mansel, Mansel Causey from Tokai University." "What is he doing here?" Pinckney frowned. "I don't know. He brought hundreds of people. They just exchanged game currency and are playing games. Our... our guests were all scared away." "Just wait, I'll be right back," Pinckney frowned, hung up the phone, and immediately asked the driver to turn around and go back to the game arcade. Pinckney thought carefully and seriously. He didn't offend Mansel. What was Mansel trying to do? Pinckney didn't go far, so he came back quickly. The limping Pinckney's face suddenly darkened when he saw that the entire game hall was occupied by Mansel's people. Seeing Mansel playing a motorcycle racing game, he walked straight over. "Hahaha, Boss Causey, what brought you here?" Pinckney laughed, and the gloom on his face disappeared. "Boss Hardwick, you open the door for business. So I brought my people to take care of your business," Mansel didn't even look at Pinckney and concentrated on driving. "Boss Causey is such a good brother, but this seems a bit inappropriate," Pinckney said with a smile. "What's inappropriate? You opened your business, I'm here to play. Isn't it normal? I bought all the game coins with my money," Mansel looked at Pinckney with a smile and said, "Don't tell me that my brothers and I cannot come to your game hall and play.” "Of course not. Boss Causey misunderstood." Pinckney took out the cigarette and handed it to Mansel. He said with a smile, "Boss Causey, let's not beat about the bush. If I have offended you in any way, just tell me. I will change what needs to be changed and apologize for what needs an apology. How about that?" If Mansel continues to bring his people here to play, forget about how long they stay in the game hall, just having them over for one day will incur a huge loss. "Since Boss Hardwick is so direct, I won't beat around the bush. We interact often and are familiar with each other." Mansel approached Pinckney and asked, "Just now, did you offend anyone?" "Offend someone?" Pinckney looked surprised. "By the way, his name is Canyn Gilbert," Mansel reminded. Canyn Gilbert. Pinckney's face was filled with astonishment. Canyn had just made himself like this. Mansel came looking for him for the young man who had beaten up more than a dozen of his brothers. Pinckney felt that his brain couldn't keep up. Could it be that Canyn was not only good at fighting but also had a good background? Otherwise, why would Mansel come to stand up for him so quickly? Pinckney suddenly felt a little confused. He didn't expect to provoke such a person unintentionally. He glared fiercely at his four younger brothers who started the trouble in the first place, blaming them all. "Have you recalled? Mr. Gilbert told me to solve the problem once and for all. He doesn't want any more trouble," Mansel said with a smile, "Boss Hardwick, how do you think I should solve the problem once and for all?" "Boss Causey, I was wrong. I apologize. I will never provoke Mr. Gilbert again," Pinckney couldn't fight Mansel at all and could only bow his head. "How can I trust you?" Mansel asked. "I swear to God, if I dare to provoke Mr. Gilbert again, Mr. Causey, you can capture me and feed me to the fishes in the sea," Pinckney said quickly, tears welling up in his eyes. "Remember what you said. If you provoke Mr. Gilbert again and make him unhappy, don't blame me for not being merciless," Mansel said coldly, and then waved his hand directly, "Gannicus, bring our people away." "Okay, brothers, you've relaxed enough, time to go back." "Boss Causey, Boss Causey, wait, this is the money you exchange for game currency. You came to play, why bother paying, isn't this a slap in my face? Please take back your money." Pinckney chased and handed a bag over to Mansel. It was obvious that it contained much more money than the amount which Mansel had spent. Mansel nodded, and Forney took the money. "Boss Hardwick, I won't hide it from you. Mr. Gilbert is someone I don't even dare to provoke. If you provoke him again, I won't be needed to deal with you. But if Mr. Gilbert takes action, I promise it will be worse than being fed to the fish in the sea, so just take care of yourself," Mansel patted Pinckney on the shoulder and said sincerely. "I know, I know, Boss Causey, thank you," Pinckney nodded quickly and said with more beads of sweat on his forehead. Mansel led the people away. But Pinckney seemed to collapse suddenly. He wanted to take revenge on Canyn previously, but looking at things now, luckily he hasn't taken revenge yet. Although Mansel is not particularly powerful in Tokai, he is still someone of social status, but Pinckney isn't even close. Even Mansel is so afraid, what would that make him? "Unlucky." Pinckney shook his head and could only secretly blame himself for his bad luck. Tokai First Hospital. This is the best hospital in the entire Tokai City, and it is ranked among the top large hospitals in the country and even the world. After Canyn and Hiroko ate snacks for lunch at the food street, they took a car directly and came here. "Are you seeing a patient? Why not bring some gifts? It'll be too rude otherwise," Hiroko frowned and said. "They will be extremely happy with my arrival. No gifts are needed," Canyn said lightly. "Is it that fun to pretend in front of me?" Hiroko didn't believe it. "You can believe it or not," Canyn didn't intend to explain and stepped into the hospital gate. "I don't believe it. Pretend, keep pretending," Hiroko muttered and followed quickly.
