Chapter 118: Chapter 118: I’m Sitting Here, Do You Have a Problem?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Why is Longman sitting in White Mitchell’s seat?
With so many empty spots in the room, he could have sat anywhere, so why choose the last place?
What could be the reason for this?
Unbelievable, the Coopers are taken by surprise. Unless it was happening right before their eyes, they would have thought there was something wrong with their vision!
Whoosh!
After a few seconds of silence, a wave of exclamation rose from the crowd.
The Coopers were behaving like ants on a hot pan, becoming restless.
“Enough of the noise! Silence!” Maddox, his face worn, scolds them and silences their astonishment.
Maddox then walks over nervously towards Longman, his old face strained into an uncomfortable smile.
At this moment, his forced smile looks uglier than a cry.
“Mr…Mr. Longman, would you…would you prefer a different seat?” Maddox respectfully said to Longman.
Longman, who carried an air of brashness about him, gave Maddox a disdainful look and pretended to be displeased as he said, “What do you mean? Do you have a problem with me sitting here?
Are you suggesting the Coopers are trying to kick me out?”
Whoosh!
Longman’s words shook Maddox, making him tremble. He was like a frightened bird trying to explain desperately, “No, no, Mr. Longman, you’re mistaken. I don’t mean it that way. I didn’t…”
With a swoosh, Longman pulled out a long, curved knife from his waist and slammed it on the table.
The blade plunged instantly into the tabletop, as if he was showing everyone his attitude.
Hiss!
The moment Longman drew his blade, all those present couldn’t help but gasp.
At this moment, they all understood that Longman wasn’t here to celebrate longevity, but to cause a ruckus.
What happened just now was clearly aimed at making Maddox uncomfortable.
Maddox also realized this, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat in an instant. He trembled and asked Longman, “Mr… Mr. Longman, do…do you have any complaints against the Coopers?”
Maddox was exasperated, knowing that Longman was causing trouble but he couldn’t deal with him in the slightest.
This was Longman, one of the two underworld kings of Sayon. If they offended him, even if the Coopers were considered a first-class powerhouse, they would not be able to stand in Sayon.
In this moment, Maddox felt a huge pressure descending upon him.
“Hehe… Offend me?” Upon hearing this, Longman sneered and then continued sarcastically, “If you offend me, you might be able to pay some money to settle the matter. Unfortunately, the person you offended is not me.”
Not you?
Maddox was stunned for a moment, a knitted brow appeared on his face, and he felt as if the pressure on his shoulder had increased.
Who did I offend?
Could it be…?
Whoosh!
Maddox’s gaze immediately landed on White Mitchell, who was calm at the moment.
“His demeanor is so neutral. Could it be that Longman is defending him!?” When Maddox realized this, he narrowed his eyes. His face, already hard, became even more serious.
His speculation was mostly true; otherwise, White Mitchell would certainly not remain so composed in front of Longman.
No wonder from the start, this young man, White Mitchell, appeared so fearless.
No wonder he dared to provoke the powerful Coopers consciously.
It was no wonder that the twenty Peak Martial Artists outside wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on him.
It turns out that all of this was because Longman was backing him!
What a White Mitchell! I didn’t expect him to get acquainted with Longman. This is really surprising!
Thinking of this, Maddox’s gaze became even colder.
“Family Head, this…” Several prominent members of the Coopers walked up to Maddox. Concern written all over their faces.
Obviously, they also figured out what Maddox had.
At this point, Longman specifically chose to sit next to White Mitchell, while White Mitchell looked calm, as if this was not surprising to him in the slightest.
If this is a coincidence, they will certainly not believe it.
The fact was, Longman was on White Mitchell’s side!
Therefore, at this point, the faces of the Coopers became very ugly.
If they didn’t handle this situation properly, they might offend Longman!
At this moment, all the Coopers had their eyes fixed on Maddox.
Maddox wore a cold face, and his tone became more chilly as he said, “Since
Mr. Longman enjoys sitting here, then let him be. Bring Mr. Longman the best tea, the finest wine!”
After saying these words, Maddox got up and left with a gloomy face.
What…?
The Coopers looked at each other in confusion, not quite sure what Maddox was implying, and hurriedly followed him.
“Family Head, is it really okay for us to treat Longman this way?” Someone couldn’t help but voice his concerns, his face filled with apprehension.
The Cooper family was feeling the alarm at this point, not comprehending Maddox’s intent.
Maddox glanced impatiently at the direction where White Mitchell was, turned his head back, and explained with seriousness. “Longman’s attitude has been made clear.
We and that White Mitchell brat are in a do-or-die situation. It’s either his life or the destruction of the Coopers!
Even if we butter him up with sweet words, it’s pointless.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces turned ashen as they voiced their concerns,
“Then family head, what must we do next? Should we run or…?”
Maddox swept his eyes over them in exasperation. “What’s there to be so nervous about? Is Longman alone enough to scare all of you? Don’t forget, the Cooper family today is not what it used to be!” This…
Everyone was taken aback, a bit stunned.
Seeing their reaction, Maddox gave them another stern look. He said, “Have you all forgotten? David Herb is coming soon.
We’re one of those in charge of the wedding project for that influential figure. No matter how capable Longman is, will he dare to challenge David Herb? Will he dare to provoke the backing of David Herb?
When David Herb arrives, everyone must behave well. We have to show Longman our relationship with David Herb. Did you all hear me clearly!” Whoosh!
When the Coopers heard this, their previously dispirited expressions suddenly brightened.
“The Family Head is indeed wise! With David Herb backing us, what does a mere Longman count as?”
“Hehe, if we perform well, we might even get introduced to that mysterious figure. At that point, crushing the likes of Longman will be a piece of cake!”
“White Mitchell is such a foolish man to think he is invincible with Longman backing him. I wonder if he’ll beg for mercy, once David Herb shows up!
Hahaha….”
