YM778.TV Chapter 124 - 123 Benjamin Abbott Arrives 1
Gonzalez City, Red Star Building office.
“Allen, come up here!”
Benjamin Abbott lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair, silently smoking.
“Dudu…”
The phone still only emitted a dial tone, but the call never went through.
“Fuck! ”
He punched the desk with his fist, his complexion growing darker and darker.
Watching the scene of Ives Abbott being humiliated on his phone, he couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Yet, after receiving this video, he couldn’t contact either of them.
“Big brother, did you call for me?”
Moments later, a man with a scar on his face entered Benjamin Abbott’s office.
He carried an air of natural ferocity and was also quite burly.
“Allen, my niece was beaten up in Gonzalez City. Do you recognize this place?”
Benjamin Abbott stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and casually pushed his phone towards Dominic Leocadia.
“Who’s got such a big nerve! Daring to offend the Abbott family?”
After taking the phone, Dominic Leocadia pondered for a moment and then said, “Crystal Plaza!”
As the number one enforcer of Benjamin Abbott’s staff, he roamed around Gonzalez City every day and was very familiar with large structures in the area.
When he saw the background of Ives Abbott being beaten, Crystal Plaza was the first place that came to mind!
Coincidentally, it was his territory and not too far from the Red Star Building.
“Bring people and go over!”
Benjamin Abbott stood up and put on his overcoat from the chair.
If someone dared to touch Abbott family members, they had to be ready for the consequences!
“Sis! Brother-in-law! I was wrong!”
Inside Crystal Plaza, Wellington Radcliffe knelt on the ground with a bruised face, begging continuously.
He had been pampered from a young age; when had he ever been beaten so
mercilessly?
Moreover, when Cosmo struck, he held nothing back; he did whatever he wanted.
Now, Wellington Radcliffe’s clothes were covered in blood from his nose, and he was somewhat inarticulate when he spoke.
“Sis! Please, speak up for me!”
Finally, he began to call out to his sister, although reluctantly, he had no choice.
Oddly enough, ever since Julius Reed had attended the birthday celebration for the old man last time, it was as if he had transformed into a different person.
He had shed his previously useless persona and had become much more assertive!
In the past, he would not retaliate even when insulted or hit! But now, he barely escaped death for uttering a single word!
“You all wait for me!”
Ives Abbott covered her swollen face and cried out, “I will make you wish you were dead!”
When had she ever been so humiliated.
Her cheeks were slapped till they swelled, and her delicate skin even had traces of blood seeping out.
“Did you even send a message to uncle!”
While crying, Ives Abbott looked at Wellington Radcliffe.
As long as Benjamin Abbott knew about her situation, he would certainly come over with people!
“I sent it! I sent it!”
Wellington Radcliffe’s head bobbed like a woodpecker.
Having been with Ives Abbott for a few days, he naturally knew the extent of Benjamin Abbott’s ruthlessness!
With the influence of the Abbott family in Five-river Province, Benjamin Abbott could even converse with Aron Jackson!
With such a powerful uncle, Ives Abbott dared to be so brazen in Gonzalez City.
“Oh! Calling for reinforcements, are we!”
Cosmo looked at Ives Abbott’s tear-stained face and, without a shred of mercy, slapped her hard across the face!
Slap!
They say women shouldn’t make life difficult for each other.
But at that moment, she showed absolutely no pity.
“Waah!”
Finally.
Ives Abbott, on the verge of a breakdown, started sobbing uncontrollably from the slap.
“Who dares to touch my Abbott family members!”
Just then, a series of orderly footsteps echoed throughout Crystal Square.
The elevator was filled with people, who were continuously making their way over here.
Leading the group were two men wearing sunglasses, one in a shirt, and the other in a trench coat!
“Uncle!”
Upon seeing the newcomers, Ives Abbott was overjoyed!
But before she could approach them, Cosmo smacked her down with a slap, sending the young miss of the Abbott Family tumbling to the ground!
“Ives!”
Benjamin Abbott frowned and immediately took off his sunglasses, quickening his pace.
When he got close and saw Ives Abbott’s face covered in blood, he was like an
enraged non!
“You! Are looking for death!”
At this moment, Dominic Leocadia, who was beside Benjamin Abbott, raised an eyebrow and addressed the group of men in black, “Boss Leopold, what is this supposed to mean?”
Having been involved in Gonzalez City, he naturally knew the Leopold brothers.
In fact, they had a rather decent relationship privately.
The Red Star Group was in building materials, while the Leopold brothers were in real estate; occasionally, they even had business dealings.
Being thus addressed, Benjamin Abbott also noticed Nicholas Leopold standing to the side.
“Young Leopold, what are you doing here!”
Nicholas Leopold’s presence was so odd, it inevitably made him suspicious!
“Uncle! They are all in cahoots! ”
Before Nicholas Leopold could open his mouth to explain, Ives Abbott yelled out loudly.
At her shout, Benjamin Abbott’s expression immediately darkened.
“Allen, rescue!”
Having said this, Benjamin Abbott turned to look at Nicholas Leopold and, with a cold smile, said, “Young Leopold, I’ve always treated you fairly! What’s the meaning of this today, to trouble my Abbott Family?”
No sooner had he spoken than Red Star Group’s enforcers immediately went after him, swiftly converging on Nicholas Leopold!
But Nicholas Leopold’s men were not to be underestimated either.
Seeing the Red Star Group’s aggressive approach, they quickly gathered around their boss.
The tension was mounting!
“Abbott, this has nothing to do with me!”
Nicholas Leopold gestured for his staff to back away.
Before their downfall, the Leopold brothers were no match for the Abbott Family, let alone now that they were as wretched as stray dogs!
Even though he could stand up to Benjamin Abbott for the moment, once they left Crystal Square, the two men were not even in the same league.
The Abbott Family’s influence in Five-river Province was nearly on par with Cesar Pendleton’s and slightly below Stanislaus Potter’s.
“Nothing to do with it? Then why are you here, and why would Ives say you are all together!”
The more Benjamin Abbott spoke, the louder his voice grew. Finally, he was almost roaring his question, “Who told you to do this!” Of the people here, he only recognized Nicholas Leopold.
Meaning, it should have been Nicholas Leopold who instigated it. But who exactly was pulling the strings, Benjamin Abbott had no clue!
“I told him to do it! If you have a problem, come at me!”
Suddenly, Julius Reed spoke up from the side.
Regardless of how Nicholas Leopold treated the Abbott Family, if he stood by and let Benjamin Abbott attack, it would surely dishearten many!
“You? Are you an employee of Nicholas Leopold?”
Benjamin Abbott turned and eyed Julius Reed up and down but didn’t recognize him at all.
He knew all the influential people in both Five-river Province and Gonzalez City.
Such an unfamiliar face was likely an insignificant character.
Hearing this, Nicholas Leopold was almost scared out of his wits!
He was very clear on who Julius Reed was!
To be his employee would be an overstatement, yet Benjamin Abbott referred to Julius Reed as his employee?
“Not at all! But Ives Abbott insulted my wife, so she deserved to be punished,” Julius Reed said, hands in pockets, still exuding an air of composure.
He was well aware of the Abbott Family!
It just so happened that he did not expect to run into them so soon.
“Alright! Kid, today I’ll let you learn how to spell ‘death’!”
Benjamin Abbott sneered and with a forward gesture commanded, “Brothers, kill him for me!”
