Chapter 2342


    He needs to ask for the favor with humility!


    The Smith family secretly cheered when Nathan told Tye off bluntly after he acted arrogantly despite being there to ask for a favor.


    Tye''s face turned red from anger when he heard Nathan''s words.


    He had not expected a young chap to dare rebuff him, as even Sean was very respectful to him.


    He red furiously at Nathan and roared, "What did you just say, punk?" Nathan nonchntly retorted, "Are you getting old and deaf? I said if you are begging for help, you do so with humility. If you want to throw your weight around, do so somewhere else. We don''t wee that attitude here!"


    Well said!


    Everyone in the Smith family grinned in approval at Nathan''s retort. Some of the young ones even cheered out loud.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Even Sean was secretly pleased with Nathan for standing up against Tye.


    Tye was enraged, and he stood there frozen briefly, his eyes widened in anger.


    He knew Nathan was the former Commander-in-Chief of the North Army, but he too was a prestigious deputy governor of the South during his heyday.


    He knew both of them were past their prime and no longer the powerful men they used to be. However, being much older than Nathan, he had expected some respect as an elder. He could not ept being told off by a young punk!


    The man was about to fly into a rage when one of his followers came up to him and whispered, "Mr. Carlson, we are here to help Mr. Rivera with Mr. Mateo''s case. We need them to drop charges so Mr. Mateo can be released from police detention. It will be more advisable to ignore Nathan and get our mission aplished first!"


    That made Tye set his priorities straight, so he suppressed his anger and reluctantly tried to persuade Nathan again.


    "Nathan, I came here to help Mr.


    Rivera mediate Mateo''s case. I hope you can drop charges on my ount. What do you say?" There was a strained look on his face when he said that.


    All eyes were on Nathan as they waited in anticipation of his reply.


    "I am sorry, but Mateo broke thew, and the relevant authorities are looking into it now. I don''t have the right to interfere in their work," Nathan replied coldly.


    "Moreover, he arrogantly did his bullying in full view of the public, with no regard for thew. Why should I help him go scot-free?" he added.

    Tye tried to reason by saying, "We are all active in the high society, so let''s cut each other some ck. If you are willing to help Mateo, I with get him to apologize to you and Penny as soon as he gets out of detention. How does that sound to you?"


    "If all crimes can be excused with an apology, then are we not making a


    will


    mockery out ofw and justice? I not ept his apology. In my opinion, people like him will only mend their ways after getting a taste of the consequence of their own actions," Nathan said.


    Tye was taken aback by the outright rejection. He furiously mmed on the table and shouted, "Know what is good for you, Nathan. I am asking for a favor in my name!"


    Nathan leisurely lifted a ss and took a few sips of wine before replying, "What is in a name? Would a dog be a lion just because we named it lion ?"


    What? Dog!


    Tye''s face turned lobster red, and his eyes were wide as saucers. He was incensed by Nathan''s mocking and rejection.


    His blood pressure shot up, and suddenly, he lost consciousness and copsed onto the ground. He had passed out from anger.


    Sean, Penny, and the family members behind them were stunned by the unexpected twist of events. No one could have foreseen the swaggy old man to copse in distress because of Nathan''s retorts.


    The men who came with Tye were flustered, and they quickly rushed forward to help him up. "Mr. Carlson! Are you okay, Mr. Carlson?"


    Sean was also in a panic. He would not want his family to be med if anything untoward happened to Tye.


    Sean stepped forward to check on Tye and was relieved to find that his pulse and breathing were still present. The man had only fainted.


    Sean breathed a sigh of relief, then


    turned to Tye''s men and said, "Mr. Carlson is all right. He has only fainted. You''d better send him to the hospital immediately for a checkup. Both you and I will not be able to bear the responsibility should anything bad happens to Mr. Carlson!"


    Tye''s men thought it was valid, so they quickly carried him away to the hospital.


    As soon as they stepped out of the door, everyone broke into cheers!


    "I have to hand it to you, Nathan! You certainly taught that old arrogant dog a valuable lesson!" Samuel patted


    Nathan on his back and chuckled.
