Chapter 375: I Was Wrong, Brother Knox
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Knox Eaton’s words stumped both Sarah Eaton and her boyfriend. ‘Isn’t Knox Eaton the most powerful around the area? But he rushed over just because of Finn Taylor’s call and even kneeled down to apologize without even knowing what he’s done wrong?’
“You haven’t done anything wrong, but he says he knows you.” Finn Taylor pointed at Sarah Eaton’s boyfriend, whose name was Calvin Lowe.
Knox Eaton glared at him. ‘How I wish I could kill this man right now. It’s this b*stard who offended Finn Taylor, and he even dragged me into this! Just because of him, Finn Taylor now hates me. I even had to kneel down to him!’
“Knox Eaton, I’ve heard all about you. Apparently, nobody dares to provoke you around here. I think your lackey here has done something wrong. Why don’t I help to get rid of him?”
“No, there’s no need for that. I’ll do it myself.” Knox Eaton was on the verge of tears. ‘There is no way I’d ask Finn Taylor to get rid of my men.’
Given Finn Taylor’s abilities, Knox Eaton was sure that he’d be left with no subordinates.
“May I stand up, Mr. Taylor?”
“Sure, I didn’t even ask you to kneel.”
Knox Eaton bowed respectfully at the other man as he stood up. “Thank you, Mr. Taylor.”
Following that, he took hesitant steps toward Calvin Lowe. “Calvin, are you going to own up to what happened, or do you need me to beat you up first?”
Calvin Lowe was on the verge of a breakdown. ‘I can’t tell him about what I did. If I do, he’ll definitely kill me.’
“Brother Knox, I-I didn’t do anything…” Calvin Lowe could only try to shirk all responsibility. He wasn’t going to admit to anything if the other didn’t have any evidence.
“Oh, so you think that my words don’t mean a thing anymore.” Brother Knox took a few more hesitant steps toward Calvin Lowe.
This terrified the latter. He didn’t have an ounce of courage when faced with his boss since he had personally witnessed the latter beating others to death.
He didn’t want his life to end that way.
There was no way the man would’ve risen through the ranks to the top if he wasn’t capable.
He was really no match for Knox Eaton.
“Brother Knox, I’ll tell you everything.” Eventually, Calvin Lowe broke down and crumpled onto the ground. “I threatened her to be my girlfriend with her family’s lives.”
Knox Eaton’s eyes were filled with fury. Although he was a gang leader, he would never hurt anyone in the area. All he had done was ensure the security of the area so that the residents would thank him and pay him for his efforts.
That was the difference between him and other gang leaders.
Knox Eaton had always believed in karma. If he bullied the residents, he was bound to pay for it one day.
However, Calvin Lowe had gone against his ideals, and he naturally wouldn’t keep someone like that under his wings.
“Alright. Let’s see if I kill you today, Calvin Lowe.”
The latter retreated and suddenly said, “I’m Dirk Larson’s brother-in-law.”
Dirk Larson was Knox Eaton’s boss, and he had indeed gotten a new wife recently—Calvin Lowe’s sister.
Calvin Lowe revealed this, believing that the other wouldn’t dare to touch him. Otherwise, Dirk Larson would definitely hold him accountable if anything happened.
As expected, those words made Knox Eaton stop in his tracks.
This pleased Calvin Lowe. ‘Ha! He must be scared now. I was worried I wouldn’t get the chance to turn the tides and become Knox Eaton’s boss, but my chance is here!’
But what Calvin Lowe didn’t know was that Knox Eaton hadn’t stopped because he was afraid of the former or Dirk Larson but because he thought that Calvin Lowe was retarded.
‘I’ve already tried to help him.’ Knox Eaton turned to Finn Taylor. “Mr. Taylor…”
“Mm.” Finn Taylor nodded.
Knox Eaton picked up the phone and made a call to Dirk Larson. “Dirk, Mr. Taylor wants you to come down. You’ll find out what’s going on once you’re here.”
For some reason, Dirk Larson couldn’t help but feel uneasy about the call.
Master Peregrine had called him earlier on, asking if he knew Knox Eaton. He also requested the latter to meet him.
‘When I heard Finn Taylor’s tone, it seemed like he was slightly mad. But now, his target has changed—Finn Taylor now wants to meet me! What is Knox up to?’
“Just you wait, brat. I want all of you dead once Dirk Larson comes. And you, Knox Eaton. Do you think you’re brilliant? I used to be afraid of you, but now that I have Dirk Larson supporting me, I want nothing to do with you. Let’s wait and see how you’ll die once my brother-in-law comes.”
Knox Eaton sneered inwardly. ‘How I’ll die? What a great question. However, I can’t wait to see how Dirk Larson dies because of you.’
Before long, another car arrived in front of the snack store. Both Knox Eaton and Calvin Lowe recognized it—it was Dirk Larson’s.
Calvin Lowe rushed up emotionally to help his brother-in-law open the door. “Brother Dirk, you have to save me. Knox Eaton wants to kill me.”
‘Kill him?’ Dirk Larson was stumped. ‘Although Knox is one of my subordinates, he is different from the others. He is peace-loving and would never try to kill anyone. What’s going on?’
“What’s going on, Knox?”
“Dirk Larson, I heard that he’s your brother-in-law,” Finn Taylor casually said.
It was only then that Dirk Larson spotted the man. He rushed up to the latter and bowed respectfully. “Hello, Mr. Taylor, but you must be joking. I found a new woman recently, but she isn’t his biological sister. She’s just his cousin, so he isn’t really my brother-in-law.”
“Oh, but he’s still your relative. Your brother-in-law is really something.” Master Peregrine pointed at the snack store owner. “He threatened my friend and my auntie with their lives so that she’d be his girlfriend. Well, I’ve been away from Chicago for too long, and my subordinates don’t know me anymore. They even think that they can bully my friends.”
Each word was like a stab to Dirk Larson’s heart, and he couldn’t wait to rip his ‘brother-in-law’ to shreds. ‘Of all people to offend, the latter has offended Finn Taylor!’
The image of Finn Taylor killing others on that rainy night years ago was still fresh in his mind.
He didn’t want to become yet another victim of this man.
