Archie looked at Nolan and nodded solemnly. "How dare that monster have a bet with you! Who does he think he is? Don't worry, Mr. Greene. I'll make sure he keeps his promise."
Then, he slapped Shaun heavily on the face.
He said furiously, "What bet did you have with Mr. Greene? Admit defeat now and walk on all fours naked!"
Seeing the infuriated Ironhead with his broken finger, Shaun gritted his teeth. "Mr. Ironhead, since it has come to this, there's no point in talking anymore. Get all of your guys in here now! We have to round these people up!"
Then, he looked at Lincoln and said angrily, "How dare you betray me, Lincoln? Have you forgotten the consequences, you two-faced scum? It's not too late for you to change your mind now. Otherwise, I'll make sure you bawl your eyes out."
Even at that moment, Shaun was still bold enough to threaten Lincoln.
Lincoln coldly stared at him and said, "Mr. Shaun, I was just momentarily clumsy for believing in your stupidity. I can't believe I had betrayed Mr. Baxter and thought that I was protecting him. In the end, Mr. Baxter would rather starve to death than compromise.
"Meanwhile, your true colors had shown. If I still believe you now, I would really deserve to die. Today, Mr. Greene has given me a chance to make up for my mistakes. So, even if I die, I would rather die by Mr. Baxter's side than give in!"
Lincoln had perfectly voiced out how he felt at that moment.
As for Shaun, he was slowly losing confidence.
Archie and Shaun were going at each other's throats, and even Gregory was getting involved. There was no way anyone from the crowd could interfere. So, everyone just stayed still, not daring to move. They were worried about getting involved in the situation.
Lincoln looked at Archie and said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Baxter, please give us your orders!"
Archie smiled coldly. "Today, I'm going to do a little spring cleaning and declare war with Gregory!"
Then, he raised his hand in the air. Just as he was about to swing his hand back down, they heard someone talking.
"Guys, have you forgotten about me? After all, this is Norwich Hotel, and that makes it Norwich Group's territory. How could you possibly start killing each other without asking me about it first? Is that really wise?"
