“Pay? Pay for what?”The tattooed man asked.With a smirk, Skylar uttered, “For a loan company like yours, I bet your boss must have made a lot of dirty money.“Doesn’t he always send you to do his bidding? Well, you can go back and collect the money for me. Make him cough out all the money and donate it to charity.”“What?”The discoloration on the tattooed man’s face was soon replaced by anger as he snapped back, “That’s a lot of ask, Mr. Stone.“He’s my boss. There’s going to be bloodshed before he can cough out the money.”Skylar answered in a chilling voice, “I don’t care how you do it. You have a day.”Adam cut the tattooed man off before any more could be said. “This is not a discussion. Don’t try to argue your way out of it!“Do what you’re told. You can fail at the task or run away, but on my family’s honor, it won’t be a consequence you can bear!”Color washed off the tattooed man’s complexion.Despite his need to say something, the tattooed man could not find the courage to utter a word.Jesus Christ. It was on the Currey family’s honor!In other words, the tattooed man could expect Adam and the entire Currey family to go after him if he failed to meet Skylar’s demand.He could run, but he could not hide from the Curreys.The tattooed man was left with no other choice but to heed Skylar’s orders.With that in mind, the tattooed man drew a deep breath and submissively replied, “Got it, Mr. Stone.“Loud and clear, Mr. Currey.”The tattooed man was completely bummed out. He thought it was going to be a straightforward transaction, but he hit not one, but two roadblocks. His life sucked!Not only did he not have the money, but the tattooed man also had to make his boss donate all the money away.The leader of the loan sharks was no pushover for sure.The tattooed man could already foresee himself and the boss fighting to the death.“Now get lost!”Skylar faintly uttered.Without hesitation, the tattooed man scrambled out of the residence together with his men.They bolted out of there before Skylar changed his mind about sparing their lives.Once these people were gone, Adam drew close to Skylar and ingratiatingly uttered, “Skylar, yesterday at the Foxes’…”Unbothered to waste another breath with him, Skylar took a look at Adam and curtly barked, “You can leave.”Adam froze before humbly responding with his head down, “Yes, Mr. Stone!”He then led Stuart and the bespectacled guy to the gate.Now that they were in the safe confinement of their car, the bespectacledProperty © NôvelDrama.Org.

man looked back at Adam and indignantly remarked, “Sir, you paid him a visit to apologize. What more does Stone want? He has no shame!”The way he saw it, even the head of the second-to-none family in Cloudtopia – Old Mr. Shepard was unworthy of Adam’s groveling.It was absurd for a nobody like Skylar to boss Adam around.Adam smacked the bespectacled man on the head.Smack!The bespectacled guy was thrown into a daze “Sir!”Adam harshly told him off, “Who do you think you are to criticize Mr. Stone?“You can pack your things and see yourself out if I catch you talking about this again.”Horrified, the bespectacled man gave his word. “I’m sorry, Sir. I won’t do it again!”
