Operation: Cobra Is Back novel Chapter 52

"You want to take the bar with just your word. Have you asked me?!"

As soon as Duncan finished his sentence, the box fell silent and even a pin drop could be heard.

But, within two seconds, the crowd burst into laughter and looked at Duncan as if he were an idiot.

"Where did this idiot come from? How dare he talk to Boss like that?"

"Who the hell are you? Does Boss still need your approval for what he decides?"

Lionel reacted rather calmly. He slowly raised his hand and pressed it down. Then the men gradually shut their mouths.

Lionel nodded in satisfaction and looked straight at Duncan with deep eyes, then said with a wry smile, "You have a problem with me taking the bar?"

"Why shouldn't I have a problem with that?"

Duncan shrugged and said playfully, "It's like me coming to your house and announcing to you that it's mine. Wouldn't you have a problem with that?"

"I don't really have a problem with it."

Lionel shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Assuming you can actually get in, of course."

"..." Duncan's eyes narrowed. Lionel was quite confident!

Lionel laughed in disbelief and said indifferently, "Go ahead, what do you want?"

"I'm a generous man. Don't say I didn't give you guys a chance ..."

Duncan said as if it was a matter of course, "I'll spare your lives if you promise not to bother the Mysterious Midnight Bar again!"

He spoke calmly, but there was an unquestionable majesty in his tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd in the room shouted as if they had been stimulated.

"Boss is giving you face for looking up to you. How dare you be so fucking shameless!"

"I reckon you were still drinking milk when we were hanging out in the mob! How dare you speak such big words? You're really tired of living!"

Duncan glanced coldly at the shouting men, then his eyes fell on Lionel as he said, "I'm talking to your boss, why are you interrupting? How dare you? Do you want to rebel?"

The crowd was stunned at first, and then they felt a sudden surge of anger.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you talk to us like that!"

"Do you really think we're cowards if we don’t show off? Or do you really think you're invincible!"

In fact, not to mention them, Lionel, who had been extremely calm and collected throughout, frowned in displeasure.

He admired Duncan and wanted to take him under his wing, but Duncan's repeated refusals made him feel a bit unhappy.

The man in his early thirties, who had been standing behind Lionel all along, sensed Lionel's change of mood, took a step forward, and suggested, "Mr. Rogers, that boy is too arrogant. Why don't I teach him a lesson?"

"Jim?!"

Lionel was visibly stunned, then nodded affirmatively and smiled, "That's fine. Just don't beat him to death."

The middle-aged man known as Jim nodded and stepped away, then walked two meters away from Duncan.

"Jim, come on!"

"Give that kid a good beating and see if he dares get arrogant again!"

Seeing the best fighters, Jim, stepping out, Neil and a few other executives of Dark Tiger Gang, who had long been extremely upset with Duncan, called out to cheer Jim on.

"Kid, maybe you do have some skills. But ..."

Jim stood upright in front of Duncan and stared at him with a cold face, then said in a deep voice, "You shouldn't have refused Mr. Rogers, let alone treated him with such an attitude!"

"So?" Duncan said nonchalantly.

"It's good for young people to be arrogant, but too much arrogance makes it easy for you to die young."

Jim shook his head slightly and said, "They say there is always someone stronger than you. You will pay the price for your arrogance!"

"Humph!"

Duncan snorted and said disdainfully, "Just you?"

Jim nodded affirmatively and said arrogantly, "Yes, just me!"

Duncan looked Jim up and down and shook his head sarcastically, "Believe it or not, with that trifling martial art of yours, I'm afraid you won't even be able to withstand a single blow from me, not to mention beating me down!"

Not only Jim, but also the senior members of the Dark Tiger Gang could not stand Duncan's arrogance and said, "Jim, why are you still nagging him?"

"This brat is too arrogant! Just kill him!"

"Damn it!"

Jim's face also sank, not knowing whether he was completely enraged by Duncan or whether it was because of the urging of the executives of the Dark Tiger Gang.

He bellowed, then raised his right hand, which had been hanging straight down, and punched Duncan as fast as a bolt of lightning.

Jim's move was fast and furious, and his fist seemed to pierce the air with a whistling sound that contained a terrifying force as it slammed into Duncan's face.

"Watch out!"

Flora, who was beside him, shouted out in shock and was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Just by looking at his strong punch, she was afraid that he would be able to just blast through the sandbag. If Duncan had been hit, it could be imagined what would have happened to him.

Unfortunately, his opponent was Duncan!

Almost as soon as Jim's shoulder twitched, Duncan reacted.

He lifted his slap and smacked him without mercy.

Slap!

The sound of a crisp slap reverberated around the box.

The senior members of Dark Tiger Gang stared in disbelief at the scene before them, and their jaws dropped, which showed the shock in their hearts!

Just as Jim's fist was about to land on Duncan’s body, Duncan slapped him on the cheek in a humiliating manner first.

"You!"

After a few seconds of dismay at the pain on his cheek, Jim's eyes turned red with rage like a wild animal.

"Damn it!"

Jim's features were twisted and grim with rage, and he let out a snarl like a beast.

Unfortunately, before Jim could make any move to fight back, Duncan threw him out with a kick.

Bang!

Jim felt a pain in his abdomen, and then his whole body flew backward uncontrollably, and he hit a wall not far away.

Poof!

Poor Jim, in the face of absolute strength, had no ability to fight back. He dropped to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted straight away as his head tilted.

"How ..."

Wow!

This scene instantly made the senior members of the Dark Tiger Gang dumbfounded.

Jim was the most powerful fighter who had made countless achievements for the Dark Tiger Gang.

It was no exaggeration to say that without Jim, the Dark Tiger Gang would not be what it was today!

But now, the Dark Tiger Gang's most decorated fighter had been defeated by Duncan with a single blow. The contrast was too great, wasn’t it?

Grrr!

The executives of the Dark Tiger Gang couldn’t help but swallow and look at Duncan with fear.

Was Jim too weak, or was Duncan too strong?
