Chapter 104
Nino’s expression changed. Having plied in this trade for so many years, he had seen people from all
walks of life. He knew them all.
Today, however, he felt as though he was facing apletely unfathomable enemy.
Philip’s aura was just too unique. It exerted a pressure on Nino unlike any other.
It was almost as though this in-looking man had a very exceptional background.,
No, not almost. He definitely did!
That was the feeling Nino got from Philip after he spoke earlier.
Still, Nino was no spineless coward himself. He chuckled twice coldly and said, “Are you sure you want
to go against me, Master rke? Yes, Mr. Thane is here, but don’t forget, I’m a leader of the Riverdale
underworld. No matter how much power Mr. Thane’s boss has, he might want to reconsider before he
removes me.”
That was right. Nino was talking about George Thomas.
The way he saw it, Philip was only acting so bold now because he had the support of George
Thomas’s money and reputation.

If they really wanted to escte this into a brawl, Nino had plenty of thugs at his beck and call.
That was how he made it big as a young man.
This was his turf.
Besides, Nino had quite the support system too. He was backed by a very formidable person.
If they truly made this into a war, all he had to do was call that man out here for a few words. That
would make even George Thomas pause for a good while.
For businessmen, every investment could affect their entire fortune if they were not careful.
However…
Contrary to Nino’s expectations, Philip just smiled mildly and said, “You think too highly of yourself,
Nino, and you’re underestimating me by a mile. It doesn’t matter who you are, how many men you
have, or who you have behind your back. If I, Philip rke, want to get rid of you, no one would dare to
stop me!”
He was unbelievably cocky!
Every word oozed a wild pride!
Nino’s frown deepened, and his expression grew ever darker. Grinning viciously, he said, “Are you sure
you want to do this, Master rke?”
Philip did not reply, but his attitude was answer enough.
Nino did not drag his feet either. He took two steps back, and several dozen thugs flooded out into the
bar from all directions. They were all gangsters and hooligans, armed with sticks, bats, and a desire to
maim.
“Do it!” Nino roared angrily, following up with a loud, “But don’t kill them!”
Nino had everything all nned out. He was going to capture Master rke and Mr. Thane and teach
them a little lesson. That would tell them not to mess with him.
Once he had them captive, he would immediately call his patron and ask thetter to solve this matter
for him.
After all, Mr. Thane was George Thomas’s man.
Nino did not have enough clout to attack Thomas’s men without repercussions, at least not yet.
As the gang rounded in on them rapidly, Philip and the others did not look panicked in the slightest.
Philip just looked at them quietly.
At the same time, outside the bar…
Several dozen ck MPVs surged down the road and surrounded Starlight Bar in the blink of an eye!
Inplete unison, forty or fifty bodyguards dressed in ck suits and ck leather shoes with ck
sunsses and white gloves got out of the cars. They quickly stood in two lines, opening a path to the
bar entrance!
After that, a ck Jaguar with a ck license te, RVD C77777, stopped at the door!
It was quite the spectacle!
The atmosphere turned extremely tense!
The car door opened, and Theo walked out, dressed from head to toe in a white suit. He took the
fedora off his head and looked at the door to Starlight Bar, which was tightly shut.
This was his trademark entrance.
Just one nce from him was enough. Dressed in camo, Tiger had followed him out of the car. He
waved hisrge hand and forcefully stormed down the door with his men!
After that, Theo led the way into the bar. His men streamed inside with him in two orderly lines.
Of course, Lynn and the others who were hiding in the corner witnessed the entire magnificent scene
first-hand.
Kyle had long since been shocked out of his wits. He fell bottom-first onto the floor, stammering non-
stop, “It’s over, it’s all over! T-Theo… Theo Zander, the emperor of Riverdale’s underworld! H-He’s here
too!”
Theo Zander, Riverdale’s underground emperor!
That name and title filled their ears like the toll of death bells.
Everyone from eight-year-old children to eighty-year-old grandpas in Riverdale knew Theo Zander’s
name!
He was definitely a monster among monsters!
Judging by the men Theo had brought with him, there was an astronomical storm brewing here!
Starlight Bar seemed exceptionally popr today!
Kyle was so freaked out that he simply ran away with his tail between his legs.
He did not dare to stay here any longer. It was just too scary!
The other two girls were no better. They were so nervous that they could barely speak, and they tried to
drag Lynn away. “C’mon, Lynn, we should go. We can’t help! First there was Master Nino, and now
there’s Master Theo? Your cousin-inw is dead meat for sure now.”
“Hurry, let’s run! If they catch us, we’ll be dead too.”
“Let’s call the cops! I doubt that Philip rke can make it out of this in one piece, so hurry and call the
cops! Maybe that way he won’t die, at least.”
The few of them talked over each other, all of them pale as death.
Lynn was utterly terrified too. If something really happened to Philip, she would definitely be implicated
in it as well.
Should she leave?
Should she call the cops?
While she hesitated, all hell broke loose in the club.
A dozen of Nino’s hired hands surrounded Philip and the others, bloodlust in on their faces.
“Get them!” Dick roared.
The men pounced.
