Rocco muttered as he looked at the gun, “With this baby, everyone will who they are.”
“With this baby, everyone will bow down–no matter
He failed to notice the icy calm in Andrew’s gaze, utterly unfazed by the weapon.
After Juan and his men took Andrew away, one of the South City gang members emerged trembling from his hiding spot.
He quickly dialed his phone and reported, “Mr. Garner, we’ve got trouble–Mr. Rocco from East Side just took Lloyd”
Dylan’s voice shook with anger as he shouted, “W–What? You idiots! Weren’t you supposed to watch Mr. Lloyd and report anything suspicious immediately?”
The lackey stammered, “M–Mr. Garner, this wasn’t our fault. The East Side crew came out of nowhere, and Rocco had a gun. Mr. Lloyd had no chance to fight back.”
“Those bastards brought weapons?” Dylan cursed. “That old fox Tony’s playing for keeps.”
“What do we tell Mr. Yates if something happens to Mr. Lloyd?” the lackey asked anxiously.
Dylan growled, “Don’t panic! I’ll report this to Mr. Yates immediately. Meanwhile, just follow Rocco’s car and find out where they’re taking him.”
“Yes, sir,” the lackey replied before running off.
Back in South City, Dylan hesitated before calling Marvin. “Mr. Yates, Rocco from the East Side has taken Mr. Lloyd. We might need your intervention.”
Dylan knew better than to sugarcoat the situation, or he might just suffer Marvin’s wrath.
To Dylan’s surprise, Marvin remained remarkably calm. “Why the panic? It’s not a big deal.”
Dylan stammered, “B–But Mr. Yates, didn’t you hear what I said? Tony’s men kidnapped Mr. Lloyd! It’s an emergency!”
“When exactly did this happen?” Marvin asked coolly.
“Just five minutes ago,” Dylan replied. ”
“Wait half an hour, then go pick up Mr. Lloyd,” Marvin instructed simply.
“Sir, will Mr. Lloyd even be alive in half an hour? Dylan asked, puzzled.
“You shouldn’t worry about Mr. Lloyd. Worry about Tony instead. That old fool doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into,” Marvin stated coldly.
After Marvin hung up, Dylan sat there bewildered Rocco was one of Tony’s top three enforcers, yet Marvin seemed more concerned about East Side’s fate than Andrew’s.

Still uncertain, Dylan dialed another number. “Hello, this is Dylan. I need to speak with Ms. Lauren Rhodes.”
Soon, Lauren’s melodious voice came through. “Yes, Mr. Garner. What’s the matter?”
“Sorry to disturb you, Ms. Rhodes,” Dylan said quickly. “But there’s something you need to know. East Side’s men have taken Mr. Lloyd.”
There was a brief, tense silence on the other end before Lauren’s voice erupted with fury. “If they put so much as a scratch on my man, I’ll make sure Tony meets his maker wearing a full- body cast!”
After hanging up, Dylan shuddered. “What a fierce woman. No wonder it takes someone like Mr. Lloyd to handle her.”
“Tony, you’d better not do anything stupid,” Dylan muttered. “Mr. Yates will rip you to shred: if you harm Mr. Lloyd.”
