“What?” The man was in a state of confusion after being slapped. He held his cheek, looking lost. The other

men exchanged looks of shock. No one had expected that outburst from Nelson, who one second ago was

screaming about slashing the visitors. And the next second, Nelson appeared frightened, as though he saw

ghosts. What was going on?

“What are you doing there? Hurry up and get me the check!” Nelson gave the frozen man a nervous kick.

“Okay…” The man hurriedly stumbled his way back to the office. He had no clue about the situation, but one thing was for sure–Lord Horst was fearful.

During the wait, Nelson went up to Dustin and squeezed an apologetic smile. “Sir Rhys, when did you arrive? You should have informed me earlier, so I could send someone to pick you up.”

“Sir Rhys?” Dahlia and Julie were stunned by Nelson’s obsequious behavior. They looked at each other in disbelief. Why would the cruel Lord Horst of the Flame Dragon Gang act in such a humble manner after meeting Dustin?

“Nelson Horst, it’s only fair that you pay off the debts of the Flame Dragon Gang. Understood?” Dustin scolded Nelson. The latter nodded fervently as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Right, Sir Rhys, you’re right. I was acting without thinking just now. I promise I won’t do that again.”

“That’d better be the case. By the way, you were a hooligan just now. You should apologize to the debtor.”

Dustin warned him.

“Chairman Nicholson, I’m very sorry. I was rude to you just now, and I can only hope that you show me grace and forgive me this time.” Nelson plastered a smile on his face as he continuously bowed and apologized. However, his behavior came unexpectedly for Dahlia. She had mentally prepared herself to fight a gangster, but never had she expected the fierce–looking Lord Horst to turn into a tame animal this soon.

She wasn’t the only one who received a great shock. To be honest, Julie was at a loss for words as well. She

questioned if Nelson Horst was still the same man as the notorious and formidable Lord Horst she knew.

“Lord Horst, I’m only here to collect the debts. Please forgive me if I offended you in any way.” Dahlia politely

responded to him.

“Don’t say that! It’s all my fault for owing you the payments in the first place.” Nelson was rather surprised and moved by her manners. Anyone could tell that Dustin and Dahlia shared an unusual relationship. Nelson revered and feared his new leader at the same time.

“Lord Horst, the money’s here.” The man returned in a hurry, carrying a check in his hand. Nelson wiped the sweat off his forehead and carefully handed Dahlia the check.

He said with much respect, “Chairman Nicholson, this is the amount I owed you. Please take a look.”

“80 million?” When she checked the figures, she was slightly surprised at the extra money. “Lord Horst, did you accidentally pay me more?”

“No, no, I didn’t. I’ve owed you the money for a while now. Just see it as interest payments.” Nelson smiled at her.

Dahlia was speechless; this was just perplexing and troubling. She was grateful and lucky enough to have

recovered the 70 million in debt, but now, she received 10 million more.

“Dahlia, since it’s for the interest payment, you should accept it,” Dustin chimed in.

“That’s right. Chairman Nicholson, please accept the check, so I can sleep well tonight.” Nelson had at pleading look on his face.

“Well, okay then. Thank you, Lord Horst, for your generosity and help.” No longer insisting, Dahlia pocketed the check. She could tell that Dustin was the sole reason behind Nelson’s humble attitude, and she couldn’t help but wonder if Dustin was telling the truth earlier today.

“Nelson Horst, keep in mind what you said today.” After warning Nelson once again, Dustin left with Dahlia

and Julie.
