The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 948 Who Dares to Step Forward?!

"I'll have you know that I'm a member of the Cole Gang! I don't care if he's a big shot or a small fry; none of that works in front of me!" Maverick, with a fierce expression, declared. "I brought my family here today to eat. Do you dare to block my way?!"

Just then, in the SUV behind him, a woman in her sixties stuck her head out and tried to persuade, "Maverick, why don't we just go around? Don't argue with them…"

"No way!" Maverick interrupted with a frown. "You and Dad have bad legs and have difficulty walking. If we go around from behind, you'll have to walk an extra long distance! I will absolutely not let you two suffer a grievance!"

The elder parted her lips to speak but hesitated. Ultimately, she swallowed her words back. It seemed that she also felt helpless about her son's fierce temperament.

Meanwhile, Kingsley stood on the side, carefully observing Maverick.

To think this bearded, burly dude is a dutiful son despite his rough and reckless appearance.

Kingsley always believed that, regardless of a person's occupation or temperament, as long as they were filial to their parents, it was enough to prove that their nature wasn't bad, even if they were a rugged figure from the underworld.

After all, humans weren't always necessarily black and white.

Just as Maverick raised his fist, ready to strike the staff member, Robert arrived with seven or eight tall and robust bodyguards.

"Hey! What are you doing?" shouted Robert loudly while running, pointing at Maverick. "I dare you to try and hit him!"

Maverick's eyes twitched when he saw the several strong bodyguards.

If he had been alone, he certainly wouldn't have backed down and would knock a few down, even if he had to take a beating. However, his parents were still sitting in the car, and he worried they would go after the two elders after he got beaten up.

Maverick slowly lowered his fist and growled, "What, can you only rely on numbers?!"

As he spoke, he thought he would gather his men later and smash all the filming equipment inside.

Meanwhile, Robert pointed at the onlookers and shouted, "I'm warning you all, these bodyguards are all from Lawson Group! This film crew is also supported by Mr. Kendall of the Lawson Group! If you don't want trouble, you better leave now!"

Maverick's heart skipped a beat upon hearing the mention of the Lawson Group before the others could even respond.

Being a member of the Cole Gang, he knew that Jarett was currently cooperating with the Lawsons. Thus, he dared not offend Jarett's business partner at this time.

At that, he slowly released the staff member's collar and took a step back.

Seeing this, those who were initially cheering for Maverick quieted down and began whispering.

"Even this burly guy backs down at the mention of Lawson Group."

"Huh, who wouldn't?! Who'd dare mess with Lawson Group?"

"Exactly, I bet none of the people here would dare to go against Lawson Group!"

Everyone whispered, but none turned to leave, and at this point, more and more people had gathered, for everyone tacitly agreed to gossip whilst hidden amongst the crowd since this burly guy

would be the first to get caught in the trouble.

Maverick's fists were locked into a deadly clench as he listened to the crowd's whispers. This was undoubtedly the most aggrieved moment in his life. To make it worse, it happened before his parents. Nevertheless, he genuinely dared not confront Lawson Group head-on!

Alas, he had never been in Jarett's good graces, so he couldn't afford to clash with Lawson Group at this moment.

Maverick gnashed the back of his teeth tightly, his cheeks twitching as he appeared deadly grim.

He had appeared overbearing just a few minutes ago, but at the mention of Lawson Group, he immediately withered. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

On this day, he had been greatly humiliated.

Maverick looked around at the onlookers, hoping that someone would bring chaos to this production crew so he could salvage some dignity. However, as he looked around, he couldn't help but sigh. Who'd have the guts and ability to step forward when even he, a division leader of Cole Gang, wouldn't dare?!
