At that moment, everyone's expression changed instantly. As for Chase, the chill he felt down his spine turned him sober at once.
He had not expected that by falsely claiming to know Tony just to satisfy his ego, he would end up in such dire circumstances.
When he saw Chase's reaction, John sniggered before giving Chase a tight slap.
"Why aren't you as brazen now as you were before? How dare you hit my man and even abuse Mr. Campbell's name? Looks like you have a death wish."
John's slap brought Chase back to reality. He pleaded at once, "Mr. Quinn, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I swear I won't."
Chase's pleas struck home with Meagan and his subordinates. They finally realized that he had been boasting all this while and never knew Tony at all.
Upon the epiphany, all of them began to tremble, as there was no one for them to rely on.
"Sorry?" Mr. Quinn chuckled insidiously. "It's too late for that now. Prepare for your doom!"
