Chapter 82
Tom's face darkened. This guy was really arrogant.
"So, you're more powerful than the law?"
Jeremias laughed. "Yes, you know the truth! I am the king and the rule in this land!"
His way of speaking and words were extremely domineering. The five big men behind him burst into laughter, and a wave of evil spirit rose into the sky, making many people who were looking at them more and more afraid.
"Hey, Logan, it's you? Why are you here?"
A man came out of the crowd. It was Zack. He looked at Jeremias with surprise and happiness. "Zack, it's you." Jeremias was surprised to see Zack.
Zack walked over, handed Jeremias a cigarette, lit it, and said curiously, "Logan, what happened?" "It's nothing serious, but there are two blind brats who provoked my woman. I'll teach them a lesson.” Jeremias said domineeringly.
When Phoebe saw that Zack knew Jeremias, she was overjoyed. She immediately stood up from behind Tom and said to Zack, "Zack, so you know him. That's good. Tell him that what happened just now was a misunderstanding.”
Elizabeth also said quickly, "Yes, Zack. It's great that you know this man. Tell him it's just conflicts arise between people on the same side. It's a misunderstanding.”
Jeremias's face suddenly darkened. He frowned and said to Zack, "Zack, do you know them?" Phoebe and Elizabeth looked at Zack expectantly. Their nervousness now relaxed a lot. It seemed that there was still a way out for them. Since Zack knew this man, Zack could help them, and they believed that nothing would happen.
Zack finally understood what had happened. He showed a thought-provoking expression. Under the expectant eyes of Phoebe and Elizabeth, he shook his head and said with a smile, "Logan, are you kidding me? How could I know them?"
"Zack! How could you say that? I'm your cousin!" Phoebe immediately became angry.
Elizabeth also said excitedly, "Zack, what are you talking about? We are your relatives!"
Jeremias frowned and stared at Zack. "What's going on?"
Zack laughed and said, "Logan, they are indeed my relatives, but you don't have to consider about me. You can do whatever you want. I'm not familiar with them.”
Jeremias understood and laughed. "You really have something. Since you're unfamiliar with those relatives, then I won't stand on ceremony.”
"Help yourself, Logan." Zack smiled obscenely and stepped aside, gloating at Phoebe and Tom. He hated Phoebe and Tom so much that he wished they could fall on evil days. So, how could he save them?
Besides, Jeremias was famous for the arrogance. Even if he was willing to plead for Phoebe and Tom, Jeremias would probably not agree. How could a smart man like him offend Jeremias because of this?
Jeremias looked up and his big beer belly attracted people's attention. He said to Tom arrogantly, "Now, kneel down and kowtow to my people and apologize. Otherwise, I will break your legs!" Phoebe's heart skipped a beat.
Everyone thought that Tom was doomed. The useless son-in-law of the Scott Family actually provoked the big brother of society. He was just doing the court death.
The Scott Family, once again, was about to get disgraced.
However, just as everyone thought that Tom was going to wet his pants in fear, they saw that he didn't look scared at all. Instead, he smiled and said two words, "An idiot."
When these two words came out, there was a brief and abnormal silence at the scene.
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Tom in shock. They had not expected that Tom would not beg for mercy at such a time, but would dare to scold Jeremias? What was this? It could be nothing other than looking for death.
After all, Jeremias was a big brother. He was rich and powerful, and many bosses did not dare to provoke Jeremias. But this useless son-in-law of the Scott Family actually dared to call Jeremias an idiot?
In an instant, Jeremias's mouth twitched violently twice. His face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Elizabeth almost fainted. She was so angry. Was Tom a fool? How could he say such a thing at such a time? It's over. It's over. This stupid Tom was going to implicate her and get her killed!
At this moment, Elizabeth was really angry and wanted to slap Tom to death.
Phoebe also staggered and was angered by Mr. Howard.
As for Zack, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He was overjoyed.
This Tom was too stupid. He was really a trash. He was born without a brain. He was faced with imminent death. It was okay if he didn't admit his mistake, but he could still pretend to be something. Hahaha!
There's going to be a good show.
Many of the audience also felt that Mr. Howard was crazy. Wasn't he looking for death?
Jeremias laughed back angrily. "Good, good, good! You have the guts as you won't cry without seeing the coffin, right? It seems that you don't know the cruelty of this society. You don't know how the society works!"
As he spoke, he struck out and slapped Tom in the face.
Many people closed their eyes and thought that Tom was going to be finished. As Jeremias's big palm hit his face, half of his face was going to be wollen!
However, they did not wait for the imagined scene. Instead, they saw an unexpected scene.
They saw that Tom also slapped Jeremias in the face at the same time. And Mr. Howard was faster. With a loud clap, he hit Jeremias's fat face.
This slap made Jeremias spin on the spot, then Jeremias fell heavily to the ground. Half of his face was swollen. Apart from that, his face was also bleeding, and he also broke two big teeth.
"You are not only an idiot, but also a piece of trash.” Tom said disdainfully.
At this moment, how could Tom look like a useless son-in-law described by others?
Many people were dumbfounded and couldn't react. What was going on? Didn't people say that Tom was a trash? How did he dare to fight back?
Zack was also dumbfounded. It was as if he had met Tom for the first time.
"Fuck! I, I." Jeremias struggled to get up and shook his head hard. With two teeth that were broken, he now couldn't speak clearly. "What are you guys still standing there for? Come on. Kill him. Fuck!" Hearing Jeremias's order, the five gangsters shouted and cursed, and together they attacked Tom. Everyone thought it was over. No one thought that Tom, who was small, could withstand the siege of five big men. Just now, Tom hit Jeremias back. He looked mighty. But what Mr. Howard did was just a stupid move.
