Chapter 131


    Scarface Louie was shaking like a leaf as he groveled with a hoarse voice.


    Kingsley stared at him impassively. "Didn''t you say earlier that you wouldn''t apologize even if I killed


    you? What happened to all your bravado?"


    "I..." Louie smacked his own mouth and wailed, "I''m sorry! I was stupid! It was all a bluff! I''m so


    sorry!"


    Louie was filled with regret and self-reproach.


    Why did I act tough just now?! I''m the one who''s asking for it now!


    Even if Kingsley did not go so far as to take his life, the same could not be said about Baron.


    If Baron, the underground fighting champion, wanted to take his life, it would be a piece of cake for


    him.


    When Louie thought about this, he began to quiver in fright again!


    He hurriedly bowed to n and repeated, "Professor Gershwin, I''m really sorry! Please forgive me


    just this once!"


    Louie knew that n was a kind person, so he hoped that n would speak on his behalf.


    n had aplicated expression on his face, but just as he was about to speak, Kingsley cut in


    and said, "Professor Gershwin, you should go and get your head injury checked. I''ll sort this mess


    out."


    "Just as well..." n sighed. "There is no progress without change. Rules are important to maintain


    social order."


    He tottered away slowly after saying his piece.


    "Prof..."


    Louie''s heart sank as he stared after n''s retreating figure.


    He was dead meat!


    No one could plead on his behalf now!


    Louie turned around and kneeled to


    Kingsley. "Mr. Nicholson, please forgive me! I beg you, please let me off just this


    H once...


    However, there was a dangerous glint in Kingsley''s eyes. "Professor Gershwin is right. Rules need


    to be set in ce to maintain social order. In any case, I''ve already given you a chance earlier."


    Kingsley gestured to Baron andmanded, "Lay down thew! Bury him!"


    His voice was ringing in Louie''s ears, and Louie felt like he had been struck by lightning!


    Everything went dark!


    Thud!


    Louie fainted from terror!


    Meanwhile, Louie''s men were frightened out of their wits as well!


    All of them fell limp to the ground and begged for Kingsley to forgive them.


    Kingsley gave them a fleeting nce. "I''ll let you handle these guys, Baron. I trust that you won''t


    disappoint me?"


    "I won''t let you down!" Baron promised. "I''ll toss them all into the underground fighting ring tonight


    and let the new recruits have some fun!"


    What?


    The moment they heard what was in store for them, all the thugs dressed in security guard uniforms


    nearly peed their pants!


    While they could deal with a bunch of civilians, they were nowhere near skilled enough to fight


    against underground fighters. Even if they got out of the ring alive, they would still be beaten to


    within an inch of their lives!


    Thud!


    Thud! Thud!


    All at once, the menacing bunch of thugs who were waving their batons around just a moment ago


    were now lying unconscious on the ground.


    Baron ordered his men to drag Louie and the others away before asking courteously, "Mr.


    Nicholson, I''ve been meaning to apologize to you in person. Would you happen to have some time


    tonight?"


    Kingsley waved him off. "I''m busy today.


    Maybe some other time."


    Reene was still in surgery, so he was in no mood to sit around with Baron.


    "Of course, of course..." Baron nodded agreeably.


    A thought urred to Baron and he muttered to Kingsley, "By the way, Mr. Nicholson, I heard that


    Felix Jacob is putting out a hit on you. It''s best to be cautious and keep an eye out..."


    Kingsley''s eyes grew sharp once he heard this news.


    Felix wants to assassinate me?


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    Could this mean that the server at the prebid conference today was sent by the


    Jacobs?!


    "Alright, I got it," Kingsley said to Baron. "You don''t need to concern yourself with this. Just deal with


    Scarface Louie."


    "Yes, Mr. Nicholson. I''ll see to it at once." Baron bowed politely to Kingsley before leaving with his


    men in tow.


    Now that all the men from the underworld had left, there was only a group of frightened doctors and


    nurses left, including a trembling Zayne.


    Kingsley swept his gaze across them. "Do you all remember what Professor Gershwin said?"


    "Yes, we remember! For the benefit of the sick, we must practice with warmth, sympathy, and


    understanding! We must respect every patient as fellow human beings! We remember his words


    clearly!"


    All of them nodded obediently.


    They were all scared stiff, and no one dared to speak out against Kingsley.


    Then, Kingsley turned to Zayne and questioned in an icy tone, "Mr. Church, are you still keen on


    teaching me a lesson?"
