Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 70

The news spread quickly that Thomas Dunn, the underground boss of the Eastern District, attacked Harry Leigh, the boss of the Southern District. Furthermore, all of Leigh’s men were destroyed. This thoroughly shocked the underworld in Channing.

Many talked and gossiped over this throughout tea and dinner.

However, they merely repeated what they had heard despite not knowing the truth.

They did not know that it was Nathan Cross who had destroyed Harry Leigh and they thought that this was a strategic attack by Thomas Dunn.

At Joseph Myer’s mansion, Samuel and Paul Smith, as well as Joseph Myers himself, sat together and discussed the destruction of Harry Leigh by Thomas.

Till now, Samuel Smith was still in disbelief and he expressed doubt as he frowned, “Harry Leigh ruled the underground in Channing for so many years. He should be much better than Thomas Dunn. How could he be defeated so easily?”

Initially, Joseph placed all hopes of revenge on Harry Leigh. He had hoped that Harry Leigh would punish Nathan and Penny. However, things went south as Harry Leigh’s empire was destroyed within a night.

Puzzled, he remarked, “Thomas Dunn is such a ruthless and sly man. He’d definitely came prepared this time. I suppose Harry Leigh did not see this attack coming and hence, was defeated by them this easily.”

Meanwhile, Paul added angrily, “Thomas Dunn destroyed him and now, Nathan and his wife stand to win so much! I remember that we’d even wanted Leigh to punish the two of them. What are we going to do now?”

“Exactly. Nathan and his wife are too lucky,” sighed Samuel Smith.

“Haha, why do I think otherwise?” Joseph Myers scoffed with his eyes narrowed.

The two Smith brothers looked at Joseph and asked with their brows raised, “Mr. Myers, what do you mean?”

He let out a sneer and explained, “Nathan Cross asked Thomas Dunn to help him defeat Harry Leigh. However, do you know who is Harry Leigh’s brother, Lightning?”

Paul looked lost. He obviously did not know who this man was.

On the other hand, a shocked expression crept onto Samuel’s face as he blurted aloud, “Did you mean Lightning? The ruthless man who took the underworld by storm in recent years? Are you telling me that the man who turns everyone in the underworld pale, Lightning, is Harry Leigh’s brother?”

Joseph Myers replied with a smug, “Exactly. Why did you think Harry Leigh could have a piece of his own in the underworld? It’s all because of his brother.”

“Lightning is extremely cold-blooded and merciless. He is also extremely protective.”

“Surely, he’d be infuriated upon discovering that it was Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn who’d killed his brother. Do you think he would let them off that easily?”

The Smiths turned elated as they heard Joseph Myers’s words.

With a smile on his face, Joseph continued, “Well, it so happens that I’d once had a meal with Lightning. I will let him know of what’d happened and tell him who’s killed his brother.” NôvelDrama.Org content.

Night fell outside of Mojo Club, which was located along Club Street in Alberesque.

The first floor of the club had a large hall and booths. The second floor had private VIP rooms, while the third was Lightning’s nest.

There was an altar with a statue of Zeus on the third floor.

Lightning was seated on an armchair, with a bold and imposing posture. There was a large Tibetan Mastiff next to him, which stuck its tongue out in a ferocious manner.

Behind him were a dozen men. Each of them had a vicious look in their eyes. One could tell that all of them have had blood on their hands.

Meanwhile, a bespectacled man knelt in front of Lightning.

The man had a bag in his hands and he spoke with a quivering voice, “Lightning, I’ve brought the money that I’d owed you, including the interest. It’s a total of three hundred thousand. I followed your instructions and it’s all in cash.”

Lightning pursed his lips slightly with an indifferent expression on his face. One of his men immediately understood, went up and took the bag from the bespectacled man, and did a quick count of the sum. Nodding, he reported, “Lightning, it’s all good.”

The man knelt on the floor breathed a sigh of relief. Wiping the cold sweat trickling down his forehead, he muttered softly, “Lightning, I have returned you the money. If there is nothing else, I shall take my

leave.”

He stood up and was prepared to scurry away.

However, Lightning stopped him, “Stand right there!”

His voice was low and coarse, and he sounded like a devil speaking in the dark.

The bespectacled man froze in his steps. Turning around, his eyes darted to Lightning in a terrified manner as he asked, “Do you have something for me?”

Lightning brushed the Mastiff’s head lightly as he asked in a cold manner, “Do you remember when I’d said you should return the money?”

The man’s expression changed slightly as he replied, “Before nine o’clock tonight.”

Lightning asked again, “What time is it now then?”

The bespectacled man started to tremble and he replied with a shaking voice, “It’s ten o’clock now.”

Lightning lifted his gaze and shot a cold glance at the shaking man in front of him.

“Don’t you remember what I’d said? That if you dare to return me the money even a second late, I’d toss you from the balcony?” He added.
