    Chapter 1228 Why Are You So Mad


    After seeing Jerry''s unfamiliar face, Zeno confirmed he had never seen this person before and


    bellowed, “Who the heck are you? Are you one of his friends? F*ck off, or I will beat you up too!”


    Still grabbing the other man''s hand tightly, Jerry uttered, “You don''t have to know who I am, but you


    should know that Mr. Sutton''s younger sister is General Zeigler''s granddaughter. Do you think the


    Zeiglers will get mad if they find out that her brother was attacked?”


    Although Zeno had recently returned to the country, he wasn''t ignorant. He had gotten all the


    information he needed about the hierarchy in this city from his gang of friends.


    Without a doubt, he knew about the Zeigler family and who Genevieve was.


    Zeno didn''t want the Zeigler family toe and pick on him because of Cooper for fear that his father''s


    reputation would be tainted. He might get a beating at home if that happened.


    He shut his mouth as fear rose within him.


    Right then, his friend whispered in his ear, “I know this man. His name is Jerry Pann. Everyone fears


    the Pann family in Xedells, including the government.”


    “Zeno, let''s leave.”


    The Panns stopped doing illegal businesses many years ago and becamew-abiding businesspeople.


    However, the mention of the Pann family still sent chills down one''s spine.


    “Mr. Cicero, since you also got hurt, the drinks you and your friends ordered are on the house.” Jerry


    took an envelope from the waiter and handed it to Zeno.


    “The money is for your hospital bills, Mr. Cicero.”


    Zeno, who wanted to let the matter go anyway, took the envelope and left with his friends when Jerry


    gave him an out.


    The bodyguard released Cooper and left with his employer, too.


    Seeing Cooper clutching his shoulder with his brows furrowed in pain, Jerry said, “Let me take you to


    the hospital.”


    “It''s just a dislocated shoulder. I won''t die from it,” muttered Cooper coldly.


    They entered one of the private rooms. After tossing his phone on the couch, Cooper went to the


    restroom to wash off the bloodstains on his face and hands.


    His face gradually darkened when he recalled Zeno''s arrogant attitude.


    Zion just got transferred back to Jadeborough recently and has yet to possess full authority. If he really


    bes themanding officer, there''s no telling how outrageous Zeno will be. Also, what he


    said earlier...


    Cooper sshed his face with cold water, straining his injured shoulder. However, he felt no pain.

    The waiter entered with two bottles of whiskey Jerry had asked for.


    At the sight of Cooper exiting the restroom, Jerry took a sip of alcohol and asked, “Why did you hit


    Zeno''s head with a bottle for no reason?”


    Remaining silent, Cooper walked over, picked up the other ss of whiskey on the table, and downed it


    in one go.


    Jerry wanted to stop Cooper from drinking since he was injured but decided against it in the end. After


    all, he was the one who ordered the whiskey, and it was not like he would be able to stop Cooper


    anyway.


    Cooper sat down and pulled a cigarette out of the pack, letting Jerry light it for him.


    After a while, Cooper asked, “Why are you here?”


    “It''s quite inconvenient to tell you some things over the phone. Also, I knew you''de here looking for


    Zeno.” Jerry thought Cooper would ask Zeno where Sally was. To his surprise, Cooper smashed


    Zeno''s head.


    Jerry lighted a cigarette for himself too. “If I came one secondter, you might be crippled if not dead.”


    Propping his elbows on his knees and looking at Cooper with his head tilted, Jerry continued, “You


    haven''t told me why you are so mad. Is it because Zeno and Sally—”


    Cooper''s expression grew grimmer as he ced the wine ss on the table with a loud thud. “What do


    you want to tell me? Just spit it out!”


    Seeing Cooper lose his temper, Jerry reckoned Zeno must have said or done something outrageous


    which infuriated Cooper to no end.


    Reading the room, he didn''t insist on probing further to make things worse.


    Instead, wearing a solemn look, he muttered in a low voice, “I was informed that Mayor Taylor has


    fallen ill and can''t work. The government decided to transfer a mayor from another state to take his


    position.”


    Cooper''s expression changed. “And who is that?”
