Chapter 328:
They had hoped to use this scenario to target Ashton indirectly, without him realizing he was the actual target.
Although this seemed like a clever plan, the reality was completely different. After receiving the money, Hamza and his men retreated to the side and huddled together without making any further moves.
Eventually, Jacoby grew impatient but restrained his frustration, recalling Hamza’s earlier actions.
He cautiously approached Hamza and his group and asked in a trembling voice, “Why haven’t you started the fight yet? Aren’t you here to collect a debt p>
Hamza raised his eyebrows, looking puzzled. “Start a fight? Why would we do that? Do you want us to beat him up? Even though we are gangsters, we follow certain principles and do not easily break laws or our own rules. There’s no enmity between us. Why would we attack him? Do you want to be beaten again, or are you trying to bribe us to beat him for you? That’s not out of the question. However, if you want us to act against our principles, it will cost you more,” Hamza stated, shaking his head.
He avoided mentioning the debt, acting as if unaware of the reason for their presence.
Jacoby was nearly driven mad by Hamza’s response. He briefly wondered if he had confused them with someone else. However, upon reflection, he dismissed that idea. Considering how precisely they had located this place, these must be the men his brother had bribed.
In a rush of desperation, Jacoby could no longer contain himself. He blurted out, “Aren’t you here to collect the debt? This is completely different from what we agreed upon. You even accepted p>
Before he could finish, Jacoby caught himself, realizing he was about to reveal too much. He quickly changed his statement. “Is this how your gang operates? You brought all these people just to beat me p>
Although Jacoby stopped himself from finishing his original thought, he had already revealed quite a bit.

Upon hearing this, Ashton sneered. It seemed this playboy couldn’t resist exposing himself.
Bobby also raised his eyebrows. He chose to remain silent and acted as if he hadn’t heard anything. However, he was aware of what was happening.
Upon hearing Jacoby’s slip, Hamza swiftly slapped him.
Looking at the confused Jacoby, Hamza spoke with disdain. “Are you referring to the Lion Clan? We destroyed it yesterday. Now, we are taking over its properties. I was curious why someone suddenly asked me to bring people here. I assumed we were here to take control of the territory, but I waited a long time without seeing the person who called us. Did you summon us p>
Jacoby was shocked, then became extremely angry.
Previously, Beal had informed him that the Lion Clan was a formidable local gang. How could it have been destroyed so easily?
However, Jacoby didn’t dare confess when he saw the man staring at him menacingly.
