Chapter 400 What’s all the fuss about?
“You women can bring bodyguards, but we can’t bring people?” Salim had thought how good Felix was, but he hadn’t expected to do anything so wimpy and had grown a little impatient.
Felix was not as eager as he was to come out on top and just stood beside him, waiting to see James’ reaction.
He came over this time not only to settle a score with Angela, but also to test the Harvey family.
It is said that the Harvey family is about to collapse because of something to do with human experimentation, but how true this information is is anyone’s guess.
If he moves Angela this time and no one from the Harvey family comes forward, that means there is a high probability of something going wrong. The Pearson family can then prepare to enter the Harvey family’s original market and share the Harvey Group’s big accounts with other companies.
James just glanced at Salim and said indifferently, “For the sake of your Brown family trying to help this time too, I can ignore what you just said.”
“You’re counting, why not? It’s not that you’re afraid to, is it?” Salim stood up and tipped everything on the table onto the floor.
Things crackled to the ground and James looked at the mess on the floor and his expression went cold.
Salim wasn’t even scared, “You’re putting on a face, what are you pretending to be? Those people outside are watching you, you’re only temporarily out of prison ……”
Bang!
James kicked him to the ground.
I don’t know if he did it on purpose or not, but Salim fell right on top of the pile of debris and some of it lodged in his body, causing him to sweat coldly and keep sucking in cold air.
“Watch your mouth, I don’t like people swearing.” James withdrew his foot and sat back down on the sofa.
Angela heard the commotion downstairs and, fearing that something had happened to him, hurried down. She was relieved to see him sitting unharmed on the sofa and walked up to him at a normal pace.
“It’s a bit noisy in here, so go up and rest.” James’ face eased a few moments at the sight of her. He took her hand and carefully kicked the debris from the floor aside.
Angela scanned the dozens of men with knives or clubs in their hands and smiled, “It’s early, I can’t sleep up there, I’ll sit down for a while.”
As they spoke, Felix had pulled Salim up with a couple of thugs.
Salim had two or three cuts and was bleeding profusely as he stared hatefully at James, “You Harvey family are hooked up with human experimentation, and you still think you can be as rampant as before? I’m afraid that after a while the Harvey Group will be gone!”
“I don’t know about later, but right now, I can get you out of my sight.” James gave his bodyguards a wink and immediately two of them, one left and one right, set up Salim with the intention of throwing him out.
Felix beckoned and dozens of thugs came over and surrounded them intently.
If these fighters were regular bodyguards it would be fine, at least they would know how to strike lightly, but judging from the tattoos on their bodies, and their colourful hair, they were at best landlubbers and hooligans.
These people have no basic skills, they fight blindly and are easy to deal with. But equally, they don’t know the importance of the situation at all, and it’s not uncommon for people to get killed if they really get into a fight.
James frowned slightly and held Angela protectively in his arms.
I should have insisted on letting her go up there just now. If she gets into a fight and hurts her accidentally, he will be the one who will be hurt!
“Mr. James, your Harvey Group has not been doing well lately, and Mr. Salim is not lying. When the matter of human experimentation is announced to the public, it is not certain who will be stronger and who will be weaker between the Harvey family and the Brown family, so you should be more polite to Mr. Salim.”
Felix’s fox-eyes were up and in a good mood.
The Harvey family is so much better than the Pearson family that he has to give in to James almost every time, but not this time.
A few dozen inconsequential thugs were not enough for James to put in his sights. But Angela was here and he was worried about hurting her, so he asked the bodyguards to cut Salim loose.
But to Felix, it was clear that James was afraid and that it was mostly true that the Harvey Group had something to do with human experimentation and was being investigated.
He smiled, even the restraint he felt when facing James disappeared, “Count on Mr. James to be sensible, Mr. Salim and I will not bother you about this.”
James was not naive enough to compete with him for such verbal prowess, and he said lightly, “Can you have these men of yours withdrawn now?”
“Sure.” Felix waved his hand, signalling the beaters to back off.
James placed a light kiss on Angela’s hair, “You go up first.”
Angela also felt that she might be a bit in the way here and nodded her head ready to leave but was stopped by Felix, “Mr. James, that’s not acceptable, I still have something to say to Miss. Angela.”
Intent on humiliating James, he deliberately reached out to touch Angela’s face.
This Angela is really good looking, and even after two years in prison, her skin still looks better than the others.
I don’t know if it’s because of his unsuccessful attempts to get Angela, but the more he looks at her now, the more he thinks she’s beautiful. Especially the way she doesn’t want to be bothered with people, it makes his heart itch.
Before his hand could touch Angela’s face, though, it was clutched by James. The latter used so much force that he felt like his fingers were going to be snapped off.
“Mr. James don’t forget what you’re in for!” Felix’s face was contorted in pain, but after struggling hard several times, he didn’t get his hand out, instead he felt it hurt even more.
James ignored him and turned to Angela and said, “You go upstairs first.”
He didn’t want her to see too much bloodshed and was worried that he might hurt her when he moved.
“Well, you be safe too.” Angela turned around with her left hand protecting the small of her back and prepared to leave.
“Don’t go!” Felix was so sure that the Harvey family was going to be finished that he was able to command the fighters, “You guys go and stop her!”
The beaters responded, each one leaping to their feet.
Angela, protecting her stomach, didn’t dare go any further and stood still.
In the first trimester, the foetus was too unstable for her to take too many risks.
“Tell them to get out of the way.” James said with a grimace as he clutched Felix’s hand with a little more force.
Felix didn’t agree immediately, but provoked, “You can threaten me, I can also arrest Angela and threaten you. You guys go ahead and grab to …… ah!”
As James pushed harder, he cried out in pain and sweat couldn’t stop pouring down his head.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“I can break your fingers before your men get Angela, believe it or not.” James plucked at him with cold eyes, and as he spoke, his hands gained a few more inches of strength.
Felix felt like his fingers were about to break and couldn’t be bothered to discuss the impending loss of the Harvey family with James, “Shin Shin Shin! Get out of the way, you guys!”
