Chapter 549 I Give You One Chance
Nathan put down his cutlery politely and used a napkin to clean his hands when he saw Barry and the
others walking in.
The Jackson siblings, Barry and Denise, both stared at the tall and charismatic Nathan, whose eyes
shone like stars.
For a moment, it felt like Nathan had be even more graceful than his former self when he was still
the heir of a wealthy family.
Colin Dunne, the Elite Eight, as well as Thomas Dunn and his bunch of brutal and muscr men stood
respectfully behind the prominent Nathan Cross.
Nathan didn''t stand up to greet Barry, Sean, or anyone else. Instead, he stared with a skin-deep grin
and said, "Barry, it''s been so long since west saw one another."
Back in the days, the Jackson family wanted a piece of the wealth to which Nathan was heir, so they
spared no effort to appease members of the Cross family.

Even when Denise was already engaged to Nathan, Barry was still extremely ingratiating and served
tea every time Nathan was around.
However, when Nathan waster disowned and lost his privilege as a member of his wealthy family, the
Jackson family immediately renounced Nathan''s engagement to Denise.
The Jackson family''s business had since grown exponentially, and Barry thought that Nathan was no
longer worthy of the Jackson family.
Barry scoffed at Nathan. "My, my. The powerful man from the Cross family has since turned into a kept
man of the Smith family. Nathan Cross, you have truly fallen far."
Nathan remained calm as he asked, "You came all the way here just to say that?"
Barry replied, "I have a ton of debt to collect from you." "Let''s talk about the incident from a moment
ago. That subordinate of yours attacked and injured my subordinate, Landon. What do you n on
doing about that?"
Nathan turned to Thomas Dunn.
Thomas had his head up high as he reported loudly, "Mr. Cross, they tried to barge in and attempted to
murder me, so I kicked and injured that a**hole."
Nathan then turned to Colin and asked, "What is the punishment for that?"
"Repentance for three days and a month''s worth of torturous training," replied Colin grimly.
Nathan nodded. "I agree. Carry out that punishment."
Barry smiled smugly upon hearing that.
Repentance for three days and a month of torturous training.
It wasn''t a harsh punishment, but Barry thought that it was Nathan''s way of
appeasing him.
It seemed that even Nathan knew the Jackson family was someone to be reckoned with.
Thus, Barry narrowed his eyes and imed proudly, "Nathan, I see the sincerity of your apology to the
Jacksons. However, there are two more..."
Barry hadn''t even finished speaking when Nathan interrupted.
Nathan remained calm as he rified, "You''ve misunderstood, Barry. Thomas is not being punished
because he injured your subordinate. He is being punished because he embarrassed me. I''ve already
said that I do not allow the Jackson family to enter or cause trouble in the South, but you guys came
anyway. Moreover, you were rude and tried to threaten us. The fact that Thomas only kicked and
injured your subordinate was too mild—he did not properly carry out the orders I issued. He should''ve
crippled every single one of you and dragged you guys out like the dogs that you are."
Barry''s proud expression turned stiff when he heard Nathan''s insult.
Barry''s words got all the managers and servers of the restaurant to turn pale.
Penny Smith''s family also looked terrible at that moment.
Sean Smith and his family, however, were delighted. They were more than happy to see Nathan getting
hurt.
Nathan had a skin-deep grin on. He stared at Barry and teased, "How mighty of you. If I remember
correctly, you used to be a training officer for the country''s army, right?” Reаd at Dramanovеls
"I will give you one chance since you are a veteran."
"And what if I prefer to fight in groups?" scoffed Barry.
Colin Dunne narrowed his eyes as he led the Elite Eight. "My eight subordinates and
I will be more than enough to destroy all of you!"
