Chapter 460 Being Threatened

When Liam headed back, he only said that he had some business matters to attend to, he did not bring up any private matters. Hence, he said plainly, “I’ve finished with the matters over there. Since I still had matters to attend to over here, I thought I might as well.” He paused briefly before looking over at Gideon Leith. “So, how’s it going? Any updates?” Gideon glanced over at him and said in a low voice, “3:00 p.m. today.” Liam frowned. “3:00 p.m.?” After thinking about it briefly, he continued, “I’ll follow you guys there.” When Nell heard that he instinctively wanted to reject his offer. Although she had already given Janet a heads-up, she still did not want to bother Liam Jackman too much. However, before she could even reject him, Gideon suddenly nodded and said, “Alright.” She quickly glanced over at Gideon. Since he already agreed to it, she would just take back her intent on rejecting Liam’s offer. Considering they had agreed on a time to head over, Liam did not bother staying there for too long. After they agreed to wait for him to arrive before leaving together, he quickly sped off. Once Liam left, Nell asked Gideon in a confused tone, “Why did you agree to let him come with us?” Gideon grabbed her hand and said in a calm voice, “It is the Griffin clan’s territory after all. Liam Jackman is the future heir of the Griffin clan, this territory will eventually belong to him anyway.” “It’s no big deal if one more person joins us at the Tiger’s Den. After all, you’re still pregnant, we gotta take whatever precautions we can.” After thinking about it, Nell understood that Gideon was only thinking for her sake. Since he seemed to have thought of everything, there was no point in her concern. She just agreed to it. As 3:00 p.m. struck, Liam Jackman came just as promised and the five made their way over to the Tiger’s Den. When they arrived at their destination, with the help of Quinn Hotchner, the group finally met up with the legendary Scarface. Since Quinn had brought up to Scarface that Nell Jennings had wanted to see him, when the man himself saw this group of people, he was not surprised at all. He just sat in his chair as he casually looked over at them. “Heh, what interesting guests we have here! Not only do we have the Griffin Clan’s very own young master here, we even have the great President Leith visiting me. To think that the Tiger’s Den would one day welcome such big-name VIPs, well, it’s free publicity for the business!” Inherently, before they had arrived, Scarface had already dug up information on this group of people. After all, this was Country F and the guy was someone from the Bauhinia clan. His taking such actions against Nell Jennings and company was not out of the ordinary. As the group took their seats on the sofa, Liam, being the straightforward person he was, cut straight to the chase. With a low voice, he said, “Since you already know who we are, then you should also understand that what we want isn’t something you can provide us. Hurry up and ask your master behind the scenes to come out and meet us.” Scarface narrowed his eyes, as he scoffed slightly. “I’m afraid you’re asking the impossible from me. I’m the one who opened this casino, there’s no master behind the scenes. If young master Griffin is looking for some mysterious mastermind in the shadows, I’m afraid you’ve got the wrong place.” “Stop bullsh*tting me!” Right before Liam wanted to start rampaging, Gideon immediately stopped him. He did not show much emotion on his face. He merely looked over at Scarface and said in a calm tone, “We wish to see someone from the Bauhinia clan.” Scarface glanced over in Gideon’s direction and frowned at him. “I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean.” “Heh, I guess we’ll need to teach you a little lesson before you can finally ‘understand’, huh?” Liam Jackman’s voice was ice cold. However, Scarface was used to being feared and respected, how would he just sit idly by as he kept on getting talked down on by this person? He suddenly snapped as he spat out coldly, “The Griffin family might be an influential force in Country F, but they’re not gods. Young Master Griffin, you might want to teach me a lesson, but can you?” However, right as he finished his sentence, a figure immediately zoomed past him. The next second, both his arms were grabbed and forced to his back as what seemed like a sound of a gun cocking rang out from behind him. “Click. Click.” At the same time, Nancy’s stone-cold voice also rang out from behind him. “Do you still think he can’t?” Scarface did not expect them to actually make a move just on a whim. Instantly, his expression changed. While still being angry, the fear had also struck in. “What do you guys want? Let me warn you, this is the Tiger’s Den. If you hurt me, don’t even hope of getting out of here alive!” Gideon Leith stared coldly at him. His face did not show much expression, but Scarface could instantly tell that this man was not playing around just by his aura of intimidation and mercilessness. “If we dared to come here today, we’d naturally have our own backers. Hence, you need not worry about our determination. The thing you should be worried about is whether the Bauhinia clan would dare to take on both the Griffin and Leith clans just for a lowly life like yours.” At that moment, Scarface finally understood what he was up against. He finally understood that if this all were to play out, Gideon Leith was undoubtedly a man who had both the guts and the resolution to take his life right this moment. He stayed silent briefly, before looking over at the group of visitors, coldly asking, “What in the world are you guys looking for him for?” Nell replied plainly, “That’s none of your business. All you need to do right now is to tell us where he is.” Scarface frowned. That moment, he gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t know.” “Hah!” With a scoff, Nancy tightened her grip on Scarface’s wrists even more. His face instantly turned pale, it hurt so much that beads of sweat started to roll down from his head. “I really don’t know! For people like us, we only look like we’re in charge of many things. In reality, we’re nothing but a bunch of their errand boys. There’s no way we’d know about their whereabouts. If you don’t believe me, then leave some people here to keep watch. I don’t know how long you’ll need to have them wait here to get the information though.” When the group heard his statement, they knew he was telling the truth this time. Thus, they decided to stop troubling him. “Alright, we’ll believe you this once. I hope you didn’t lie to us.” As Nell said that, the group stood up. “We’ll take out leave for today, but we have a little favor to ask you. If anyone from the Bauhinia clan drops by, tell them that Juliette Garrett’s old friends are looking for him, he’ll understand.” Scarface frowned, seemingly confused. However, a glimmer suddenly flashed in Liam Jackman’s eyes. Scarface questioned, “Who is Juliette Garrett?” Nell just looked back at him plainly. “That’s none of your business. All you need to do is pass the message.” As the group finished their work there, they just walked off, having no intention to stay there any longer. Scarface also did not hold them back. Once they saw the group leave the Tiger’s Den, he finally let out a sigh of relief. On the other side, as Nell and Gideon left the building, they saw a black Maybach pulling up near to them. As the car doors opened, four bodyguards walked out, followed by a middle-aged man who slowly made his way out of the car and into the center of the protection detail. When the group noticed who he was, they were all shocked. Gale Shelby? Inherently, Gale had noticed them as he walked over in their direction bearing a smile. “It’s been a long time, huh? Never would I have expected to meet you guys out here in a foreign country. It must be fate! If you guys aren’t in too much of a hurry, why not come over to my place and take a break?”
