Chapter 503

"What?" The man was in a state of confusion after being slapped. He held

his cheek, looking lost. The other

men exchanged looks of shock. No one had expected that outburst from Nels

on, who one second ago was

screaming about slashing the visitors. And the next second, Nelson appear

ed frightened, as though he saw

ghosts. What was going on?

"What are you doing there? Hurry up and get me the check!" Nelson gave th

e frozen man a nervous kick.

"Okay…" The man hurriedly stumbled his way back to the office. He had no

clue about the situation, but one thing was for sure–

Lord Horst was fearful.

During the wait, Nelson went up to Dustin and squeezed an apologetic smil

e. "Sir Rhys, when did you arrive? You should have informed me earlier, s

o I could send someone to pick you up."

"Sir Rhys?" Dahlia and Julie were stunned by Nelson's obsequious behavior

. They

looked at each other in disbelief. Why would the cruel Lord Horst of the

Flame Dragon Gang act in such a humble manner after meeting Dustin?

"Nelson Horst, it's only fair that you pay off the debts of the Flame Dra

gon Gang. Understood?" Dustin scolded Nelson. The latter nodded fervently

as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Right, Sir Rhys, you're right.

I was acting without thinking just now. I promise I won't do that again."

"That'd better be the case. By the way, you were a hooligan just now. You

should apologize to the debtor."

Dustin warned him.

"Chairman Nicholson, I'm very sorry. I was rude to you just now, and I ca

n only hope that you show me grace and forgive me this time." Nelson plas

tered a smile on his face as he continuously bowed and apologized. Howeve

r, his behavior came unexpectedly for Dahlia. She had mentally prepared h

erself to fight a gangster, but never had she expected the fierce–

looking Lord Horst to turn into a tame animal this soon.

She wasn't the only one who received a great shock. To be honest, Julie w

as at a loss for words as well. She

questioned if Nelson Horst was still the same man as the notorious and fo

rmidable Lord Horst she knew.

"Lord Horst, I'm only here to collect the debts. Please forgive me if I o

ffended you in any way." Dahlia politely

responded to him.

"Don't say that! It's all my fault for owing you the payments in the firs

t place." Nelson was rather surprised and moved by her manners. Anyone co

uld tell that Dustin and Dahlia

shared an unusual relationship. Nelson revered and feared his new leader

at the same time.

"Lord Horst, the money's here." The man returned in a hurry, carrying a c

heck in his hand. Nelson wiped the sweat off his forehead and carefully h

anded Dahlia the check.

He said with much respect, "Chairman Nicholson, this is the amount I owed

you. Please take a look."

"80 million?" When she checked the figures, she was slightly surprised at

the extra money. "Lord Horst, did you accidentally pay me more?"

"No, no, I didn't. I've owed you the money for a while now. Just see it a

s interest payments." Nelson smiled at her.

Dahlia was speechless; this was just perplexing and troubling. She was gr

ateful and lucky enough to have

recovered the 70 million in debt, but now, she received 10 million more.

"Dahlia, since it's for the interest payment, you should accept it," Dust

in chimed in.

"That's right. Chairman Nicholson, please accept the check, so I can slee

p well tonight." Nelson had at pleading look on his face.

"Well, okay then. Thank you, Lord Horst, for your generosity and

help." No longer insisting, Dahlia pocketed the check. She could tell tha

t Dustin was the sole reason behind Nelson's humble attitude, and she cou

ldn't help but wonder if Dustin was telling the truth earlier today.

"Nelson Horst, keep in mind what you said today." After warning Nelson on

ce again, Dustin left with Dahlia

and Julie.
