Chapter 147 Tony chuckled .


    Of course , Mr.


    ckwood .


    Even just having you here is worth every penny .


    Even though he said that , his heart ached at the cost .


    These martial arts masters had extraordinary skills but were also arrogant and greedy .


    Each job they took was like an excuse to extort the clients , draining them dry with every outrageous demand .


    Nheless , Tonys thoughts turned cold as he remembered the rumors circting in Jayrodales underworld that he , the East Side crime lord , was a useless old man , and Juan was equally worthless .


    Both father and son had been humiliated by some nobody , tarnishing the reputation of East Sides ruler .


    The shame was simply unbearable , and Tony believed the only way to salvage his reputation was to eliminate Andrew .


    By doing so , he would restore his image as the unshakable ruler of the East Side .


    Just then , Christina was brought in .


    Her face turned pale at the sight of the hundred plus thugs and the martial art masters seated at the front .


    Ms.


    Stevens is truly a rare beauty , Tony said with a twisted grin , his gaze lingering on her .


    Even at my age , I cant help but feel tempted .


    Mr.


    Madden Senior , Stevens Corporation has never had any conflict with East Side .


    What do you want ? Christina asked , trying to keep her voice steady .


    Tony snorted .


    Thats not for you to decide .


    Tell me , whats your rtionship with Andrew ? Hes my ex , and weve gone our separate ways , Christina replied .


    Good .


    Now call him and tell him toe save you , Tony demanded coldly .


    Mr.


    Madden Senior , I absolutely cannot do that ! Christina eximed .


    No ? So you wont cooperate ? Tonys expression turned vicious .


    Panicking , Christina quickly replied , Ive already said it I have nothing to do with Andrew anymore .


    Theres nothing between us !!! Tonys voice turned icy .


    I dont care what your rtionship with him is now .


    Youre going to call him , bring him here , and then Ill consider letting you go .


    Otherwise , Ill have my way with you before killing you .


    Thest trace of color drained from Christinas face .


    Why are you so determined to lure Andrew here ? What is East Side nning ? Tony sneered .


    With all these men and three martial arts masters here- isnt it obvious ? He wont be leaving here alive !
