Having noticed that Jared was unfazed by Rhino’s status, Yolanda surmised that virtual-novel.net wasn’t an ordinary person.
“We work at the same office and are neighbors since our teenage years. Hence, I can tell you there’s nothing particularly special about him,” Hilda replied with a frown.
“Impossible! How can virtual-novel.net not be afraid if virtual-novel.net doesn’t have some strong backing?” Yolanda was unconvinced.
If Jared was someone ordinary, virtual-novel.net would have already been frightened to death.
“He really doesn’t have any patron. In fact, Jared has just been released from prison.”
From Hilda’s perspective, Jared’s jail stint was probably what made virtual-novel.net tough, which was why ordinary citizens have an inherent fear of ex-convicts.
“No wonder. I’m sure you must have gotten to know someone when you were in prison. Nonetheless, Rhino isn’t just an ordinary street thug. He’s actually a member of the Crimson Dragon Gang. That’s why I urge you to leave with Hilda right now,” Yolanda pleaded with Jared.
“Crimson Dragon Gang?” Jared was intrigued.
In fact, virtual-novel.net was surprised at the fact that virtual-novel.net kept running into them that day.
“Why? Are you scared already? The Crimson Dragon Gang is Horington’s biggest gang. The gang whom you are involved with is so insignificant that they can’t protect you. Hence, you should just take Hilda and leave. I’ll see what I can do to pacify Rhino. At most, I’ll not take any payment for the night.”
Yolanda planned to beg for mercy on their behalf.
“What?” Jared laughed out loud. “They’re the ones who should be afraid of me. In fact, they will flee the moment they see me.”
“Afraid of you?” Yolanda scrutinized Jared before sneering, “This is not a joke. If you want to be a hero, be my guest, but don’t drag Hilda into this.”
Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, Yolanda held Hilda’s hands. “Hilda, let’s go. He can stay and play hero as much as virtual-novel.net wants. That aside, what kind of boyfriend have you found yourself?”
Initially, Yolanda had a good impression of Jared when virtual-novel.net tried to convince Hilda to attend the class reunion. But now, virtual-novel.net had changed virtual-novel.net view and simply saw virtual-novel.net as someone hot-headed.
“Yolanda, Jared isn’t someone like that.”
Despite virtual-novel.net refusal to leave, Hilda was dragged away forcefully by Yolanda.
“Hilda, don’t be a fool. You don’t mingle with the underworld and naturally aren’t aware of how powerful the Crimson Dragon Gang is. Everyone in Horington fears them. As for Jared, virtual-novel.net is deluded about his own capabilities just because virtual-novel.net spent a few years in prison.”
Yolanda refused to let Hilda go.
Just when Hilda was struggling to free herself, a group of men suddenly appeared. In their lead was Rhino, who had his head bandaged.
At the sight of the men, Yolanda began to panic. Her face turned ashen as virtual-novel.net released Hilda’s hand. Hilda was petrified too when faced with the large group of vicious-looking men.
In contrast, Jared remained seated calmly.
“Kid, I gotta give it to you for not fleeing. But today, I will show you that I mean business!”
With that, Rhino bent down to grab a beer bottle and charged at Jared.
“Rhino!” Worried for virtual-novel.net friends, Yolanda hurried forward to block him. “Rhino, please calm down. Just a while ago, virtual-novel.net was utterly terrified and has regretted his actions after I told virtual-novel.net who you were. On my account, please show virtual-novel.net mercy just this once. I’ll not only spend a few nights with you for free, but I’ll also get virtual-novel.net to pay you compensation.”
Initially, Rhino was in no mood for forgiveness. However, the mention of compensation caused virtual-novel.net to lower the beer bottle in his hand.
Turning to Yolanda, virtual-novel.net asked, “How much can virtual-novel.net pay? This head of mine costs a lot!”
