Chapter 917 Naive
Chapter 917 Naive
Ever since Mickey's last humiliating defeat and its subsequent consequences, he had become much wiser.
He was now aware that there were certain individuals he shouldn't mess with!
The first and foremost being Boss Nicholson standing before him!
He called his men in to fight earlier because Rayden had attacked him without warning.
Now that he realized that massive blunder he had made, his body was already drenched in cold sweat!
Kingsley looked down at Mickey and said lightly, "So, you intend to betray Jarett and join our faction?"
"Yes! That's exactly it!" Mickey nodded repeatedly.
Then, he continued, "I should have followed Advisor Shane from the beginning and joined you. I can only see a future worth living for when I follow you! Compared to you, Jarett is nothing! He's not even worthy of licking your shoes!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room sported rather peculiar expressions.
From Luke and the diners' perspective, Jarett was a well-known underworld boss!
Meanwhile, they had no idea who this young man in front of them was!
Yet, Mickey actually claimed that Jarett wasn't even worthy of licking his shoes!
So... who exactly was this young man?!
For a moment, the diners looked at Kingsley with awe in their eyes!
Kingsley smiled and responded calmly, "Well, I suppose it's not impossible for you to join me… However, I'm sure you've noticed that now isn't the time, yes? I do need to address the current situation before anything else."
"Of course!" Mickey transformed into a being of never-ending patience as he beamed.
Then, he turned to address Kingsley's recent 'victims,' saying, "Mr. Lawson… Then again, your title means nothing here. So, I don't think you'd mind overly much if I refer to you by name now, Kendall. There's also that foolish woman. Oh, there she is! They're nothing but fools. I can't believe they would be so brave as to steal someone under your protection! You have to teach them a lesson!"
Kendall and Hillary were rendered utterly speechless when they heard his declaration.
Frankly, the both of them were flabbergasted by his sudden change in attitude.
Wasn't Mickey here to help them?!
Why the hell did he betray them so easily?!
Kendall's disbelief immediately burned into sheer fury as he hissed, "D*mn it, Mickey! This was your plan all along, wasn't it? First, you brought in some nonsense leader to tie me up. Now, you've turned against me! You're just a deceitful b*stard!"
Mickey merely narrowed his eyes and replied nonchalantly, "Mr. Lawson, you can't pin the blame on me just like that! If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending Boss Nicholson in the first place!"
Once he said that, he turned to look at Kingsley with eager eyes and said, "Boss Nicholson, why don't I take care of him for you?"
Mickey was well aware that he had successfully burned any bridges he had with Mr. Lawson today.
If the man returned alive, his fate would undoubtedly be miserable!
Since that was the case, he might as well just kill him right here while using this opportunity to prove his loyalty to Kingsley!
If the Lawson Family were to investigate the matter, he could easily shift all the blame onto Rayden's head since Rayden outranked him within the Cole Gang!
"Now, now. There's no need to rush. Let's take it one step at a time," Kingsley said, turning his head to look at Ethan, who was hiding in Yulia's arms.
"Ethan, did someone bully you earlier?"
Ethan nodded hesitantly as he kept shooting frightened looks at Hillary. "She hit my hand earlier."
Kingsley immediately examined Ethan's tiny hand and noticed that the red swelling on the back of his hand hadn't subsided yet.
It was more than evident how much force Hillary had used against such a young child!
Nonetheless, he didn't want to scare the poor boy too badly. So, he simply smiled kindly at Ethan and said, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine now. So, why don't you look for your father and grandfather in the meantime?"
"Okay!" Ethan nodded as he leaped out of Yulia's arms. Then, he promptly dashed over to Joaquin, calling out for his grandfather as he threw himself into his grandfather's arms.
Kingsley turned to Yulia and inquired, "Is this woman your agent?"
"Yes," Yulia replied, looking at Kingsley with admiration in her eyes. "She is my agent, and she arranges all my work."
Then, his voice grew cold as he questioned, "Does she often mistreat you?"
Judging from the insults Hillary hurled toward Yulia earlier, he had already deduced that Hillary didn't see Yulia as a person at all!
There was a high possibility that this kind of humiliation had become a regular occurrence!
"She… She hasn't really mistreated me. However, she does always make me serve some bosses and Young Masters," Yulia replied. "If I refuse, she will keep pressuring me into doing it. She always claims it's for my own good."
Kingsley couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead after hearing her statement.
Oh, naive Yulia, isn't this still considered mistreatment?! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"I see. I will teach her a lesson for you!"
