Chapter 24
Stanley was flabbergasted. It took him a moment to process what Wilbur had just said and burst out
laughing.
He gave Wilbur a murderous stare. “Young man, do you know who this guy here is? He’s Lightning
Hank, the head of the Black Tiger Gang! They run Seechertown’s underground scene. I think you don’t
understand what’s going on here.”
“The Black Tiger Gang? Lightning Hank? Wilbur asked calmly. He then added, “I’ve never heard of
them.”
Those words made Stanley lose his, cool. Just as he was about to shout back at Wilbur, Lightning
Hank said, “What a stubborn little guy! You don’t know who I am? I guess I’ll just have to show you
today.”
Faye hurried to say, “Sir, please don’t! You just want money, right? I can give you as much of it as your
want. Please don’t hurt us. We can talk this through.”
Lightning Hank retorted coldly. “Why would I need to talk things through with you? You think that the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCape Consortium is that powerful, do you? You’re in Seechertown, and I’m the boss here! You might be
loaded, but will you be alive to spend it?”
Wilbur glanced at Lightning Hank calmly and said, “I wouldn’t get any ideas if I were you. I can
effortlessly. Just be good. You’ll get hurt if you don’t listen to me.”

-Faye panicked upon hearing those words.
Wilbur had always been aware of the extent of his abilities. Why was he provoking Lightning Hank and
Stanley like that all of a sudden? Did he have a death wish?
Lightning Hank broke out laughing when he heard that. He shook his head and said, “I’ve never heard
anyone talk down to me like this in the past two decades. Honestly, I’m rather surprised.”
“Let her go, or I’ll have more surprises in store for you,” Wilbur said calmly.
Lightning Hank’s gaze flashed coldly, and he said in a solemn tone, ‘Chop his legs off. See if he can
still act this cocky after that.”
“Yes, sir.” One of his men walked toward Wilbur, brandishing a big cleaver.
Faye panicked. “Please don’t get violent! I’ll give you all the money you want! Let’s talk this through!
The Cape Consortium has all the money in the world!”
“I’ll take the money, but I’m going to teach this guy a lesson as well,” Lightning Hank scoffed coldly.
Anyone who humiliated him or his men would have to pay. It was no longer about the money.
Stanley was excited, his gaze flashing wildly.
Everything that had happened to him was caused by that b*stard. Even chopping him up would not be
enough to make him feel better.
Just then, Wilbur’s phone rang. He took a look and asked, “Can I take a call?”
Lightning Hank raised a hand for his men to pause, staring at Wilbur smugly. “I’ll give you a chance.
You can call the cops or whomever you want. Let’s see if anyone wants to meddle in this and get on my
bad. side.”
Wilbur shook his head with a smile and then accepted the call.
*Mister Penn, this is Gordon Grayson. My father would like to invite you over for a drink. I’m In front of

Wilbur fell silent. “I’m out running some errands. It might be a while.”
“What errands? Do you need help?” Gordon was trying hard to show that he was sorry to Wilbur
Wilbur glanced at Faye. “My employee’s been kidnapped.”
“What? By whom? Where?” Gordon flew into a rage at once.
Wilbur replied calmly, “Copperhead Factory. It’s up north.”
“Mister Penn, please hold out for a while. I’ll be there in ten minutes,” Gordon said hurriedly before
hanging up
At the same time, a member of the special services brigade received an order. They gathered within
three minutes, armed up, and headed off to Copperhead Factory at once with no less than thirty
military vehicles.
Wilbur hung up and then turned to look at Lightning Hank. “Can you wait ten minutes? Someone might
want to see you.”
Lightning Hank broke out into peals of laughter. “Ten minutes? How about I give you half an hour? I’d
like to see who has the nerve to get involved in this.”
