Chapter 209

Chapter 209:

With that, Liam delivered several hard kicks to Slater.

Special forces? Black Dragon Gang?

The mention of these names sent shivers down the spines of the Axe Gang members.

Though the Axe Gang wasn’t a local gang, everyone knew that the Black Dragon Gang was a formidable titan of the underworld in Inewood.

At this moment, Slater realized that the man who had kicked him was Liam, the second son of Hubert Walker, the boss of the Black Dragon Gang.

If anyone else had spoken so boldly, Slater might have dismissed it as bravado. But coming from Liam, it was hard to ignore.

After all, the Black Dragon Gang’s power was immense — easily capable of wiping them out. So, there was no need for Liam to boast about Ashton.

Slater’s fury had swiftly morphed into a chilling fear of death.

If Liam’s words held any truth—that Ashton could indeed mobilize the special forces—how could they possibly hope to prevail?

Moreover, they couldn’t even hope to defeat Liam and his men.

The thought gripped Slater with a paralyzing fear.

Whether Ashton could truly mobilize the special forces or not, the mere fact that Liam called him “boss” was proof that his true identity was far from ordinary. Slater regretted his hasty actions and lack of investigation, but it was too late for second thoughts now. Overcome with terror, he crumpled to the ground, his composure as a gang boss evaporating completely. Trembling, he knelt and begged for mercy. “Mr. Baldwin, I’m sorry! I didn’t realize you were such a powerful figure. Had I known, I would never have dared to provoke you!”

Ashton’s lips curled into a sneer. “That’s not quite what you said earlier. Didn’t you ask me to break my legs and kneel before your son to beg for forgiveness?”

Slater, drenched in cold sweat, slapped himself violently across the face.

Through his self-inflicted punishment, he pleaded, “I was just too angry and impulsive. It’s all Roger’s fault. He was the one who took on the task of dealing with you. I know you’re in a position to let us go, and I’ll have someone bring that fool to you right away!”

Seeing their boss on his knees begging for forgiveness, the Axe Gang members, who had already lost their fighting spirit, followed suit. They slapped their own faces and begged for mercy as well.

With a stony expression, Ashton remained silent. Observing their swollen faces, he lifted Slater and asked, “I’m giving you one chance. Tell me, who sent you here to stir up trouble?”

Hearing this, Slater quickly confessed, his voice trembling with urgency. “It’s Jacoby Marquez from Sup Group! I didn’t even want to take on the mission in another city, but my son was enticed by the money and took it. I didn’t realize he had angered you!”

Jacoby from Sup Group?

Ashton’s brow furrowed. He had suspected that Fraser might have used Sup Group’s name as a cover for his own attack against him and Rosalie.
