Chapter 489 Trample on Braden’s Dignity
Just as Larry was about to send someone to send Braden back to the Stewart’s house, a subordinate
came to report in a panic.
“Mr. Wilson, a group of thugs are outside. They want you to hand over Braden, or they will burn your
pawnshop!” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hmph, they are quite bold. How dare they come to my territory!”
“They … they look very different. Each of them is armed with weapons. The key is that the leader has a
very strong background. We do not dare to act rashly, so we have to ask you … to take a look!”
“Sure, I would like to see who is tired of living!”
Larry did not bring anything with him as he walked to the gate of Crimson Pawnshop in plain clothes.
The gateway of Crimson Pawnshop was very imposing. The front yard was paved with stone slabs and
several thousand square inches. There were tall pines on both sides of the yard. There were two
ferocious-looking stone lions standing at the door.
On the top of the door was a large plaque with blue words written on it: “Crimson Pawnshop.”
For the entire Sutor Wharf, Crimson Pawnshop was like Reflection Room. It represented absolute
authority and power, guarding the entire Sutor Wharf.
Under normal circumstances, there would be two rows of security guards in the front yard of Crimson
Pawnshop. It was quiet and solemn, completely different from Sutor
Wharf which was crowded and noisy.
However, the gateway of Crimson Pawnshop was already packed with people. These people were
holding weapons in their hands and waving them high. They kept shouting, ’Hand him over!”
The leader stood on the high ground. She did not hold any weapons in her hand.
Instead, she held a torch and shouted, “If you don’t hand him over, then well set fire.”
Larry walked out, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that the leader was actually a woman.
Moreover, he knew this woman as well. She was Alina, the future successor of the Gilmore family. It
was rumored that the Gilmore family and the Stewart family were going to unite by marriage.
In other words, the woman in front of him was Braden’s future wife. So, she was Shirley’s former rival in
love.
How could Larry let her go?
Larry had been a bit angry, but because Alina was his sister’s rival in love, he was instantly in a rage.
“Ms. Gilmore, I’ve heard a lot about you. What brings you, a pampered girl, here?”
“You … you bloodthirsty demon, are finally willing to come out.”
When Alina saw Larry, she looked a little scared.
It was rumored that Crimson Pawnshop was not just a simple pawnshop. It was more like a black
market trading center. Everything visible to the naked eye could appear in Crimson Pawnshop,
including human lives.
As for the owner of Crimson Pawnshop, Mr. Quintin, he was known as “Midnight Ghost”, cold-blooded
and merciless, treating human lives as nothing.
In other words, if she went against Crimson Pawnshop or offended “Midnight Ghost,” her organs might
be publicly displayed in the pawnshop the next day or even sold.
However, she was not afraid of anything to save Braden. Her organs were nothing, and she could give
up her life.
“Let’s cut the crap. The group of people I brought here today are not simple thugs.
They were on the battlefield before, and they are very powerful. If you don’t want your lair to be
destroyed, hand him over obediently!”
Alina waved the torch and said arrogantly.
“Ms. Gilmore, you should also know that Crimson Pawnshop and the Stewart family have a deep
grudge. Back then, he destroyed my face and everything I worked so hard to get. In order to take
revenge, I hid for four years. Now that I finally caught my enemy, do you think I will let him go so
easily?”
Larry put his hands in his pockets and asked with a fake smile.
He looked relaxed and seemed to have a good personality, but the cruelty in his eyes made those
experienced thugs shudder.
Alina, who was pampered a lot, naturally could not bear it. She gulped and gave in a bit. “What do you
want? In the end, you fought for money. How much money do you want to let him go? The Gilmore
family has enough money!
“You’d better hand him over obediently when you get the money. Crimson Pawnshop is nothing now.
There is no need for the Stewart family to do anything. The Gilmore family can send some people to
flatten it!”
Larry smiled even louder.
And the viciousness in his eyes deepened. “Ms. Gilmore is really ignorant, silly, and naive. I have
earned enough money these years, and I don’t need any money. Ms. Gilmore, it is better to keep it for
yourself.”
As the man spoke, he approached Alina single-handedly.
The more relaxed he was, the more dangerous the atmosphere became.
“You … you don’t want money. What do you want? Don’t be shameless!” Although Alina was holding
the torch, her arrogance was visibly reduced. She became very timid.
Why would she be scared?
Crimson Pawnshop’s “dare-to-die squad” was very scary, so no one from the top eight families dared to
undermine its business.
The thugs that she had brought over were said to have fought on the battlefield, but in fact, only a few
had fought on the battlefield. The rest were here to put up a front.
