He felt regret now. He wouldn't have come over if he had known that he had offended the HowardFamily.

Seeing his dilemma, Phoebe gritted her teeth and said, "Brian, even you could not save mybrother?"

"Brian, you're powerful and resourceful. Can't you really save Tian?" Elizabeth asked nervously.James sighed and said sadly, "The Howard Family is the first family in H City. No family can be morepowerful than them. Don't make things difficult for Brian. A father is responsible for teaching hisson. It's my fault. Now that Tian is in trouble, I, like his father, should help him on my own. I'm goingto kowtow to the Howard Family one by one. I can kneel down for their forgiveness. I hope they canaccept my apology!"

Brian felt a little guilt, and he excitedly slapped his thigh and said, "Phoebe, uncle, auntie, don'tworry. I can help you! I believe I own some authorities in H City, so the Howard Family would giveme respect.”

"Really?" Phoebe's eyes lit up.

James and Elizabeth got excited. "That's great, Brian. We'll remember your kindness!"

Brian was flattered by their words. When looking at Phoebe's beautiful face, he couldn't help butfeel excited and blurt out, "But I have a condition. I hope Phoebe can go on a date with me after thisis done.”

Brian immediately regretted what he said. How could he say it out directly?

Sure enough, when Phoebe heard this, she felt a little uncomfortable because she thought Brian wasthreatening her. And his originally heroic image suddenly disappeared.

James and Elizabeth also frowned slightly.

"Okay." Phoebe nodded. "As long as you can save my brother, I'm willing to date you."

Brian said hurriedly, "Phoebe, don't misunderstand. I'm just joking. Even if you don't date me, I'llsave your brother.”

Phoebe squeezed out a smile. "Well, even if you don't say it, I'll date you.”

She was about to sacrifice herself for her family, and she would no longer be pure. What was thepoint of dating Brian?

Tom was in the car from afar, watching Phoebe and Brian talk intimately, as if they were lovers, andhe felt very uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he was still worried and decided to follow them.Maybe he could help.

They went to a high-class billiards club. When Phoebe and others entered, they saw Logan kneelingon the ground, and looked terrible. His face was bruised and swollen.

Logan saw Phoebe and cried out in grievance, "Sister, help me!"

As soon as he finished shouting, he was kicked to the ground by a young man next to him, and thatman scolded fiercely, "Be quiet! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

Elizabeth had always doted on Logan. When she saw her son being beaten like this, she washeartbroken, and tears streamed down her face. "My god, my son..."

She wanted to run over, but James grabbed her tightly and warned her in a low voice. "Don't actrashly. Do you want to kill Logan?"

Elizabeth then realized that it was inadvisable to provoke these young people in front of her,especially the young man who was leisurely playing billiards. He looked strong and was the leaderof these men. Then he must be the young master of the Howard Family.

Phoebe took a deep breath and stood up, saying, “I'm sorry. My brother Logan is not sensible andhas offended you. I hope you can forgive my brother in mercy and let him go. Our Scott Familywould be grateful!”

"Wow, what a beautiful woman. She looks nice!"

"I didn’t expect Logan to have such a beautiful sister.”

When they saw Phoebe, they all became frivolous and whistled.

Several men even wanted to come to touch her, which scared her into hiding behind Brian. "Brian,help me!"

Brian could not tell Phoebe what he was thinking. He recognized that these young people were allbig shots he dared not to provoke. Everyone could easily ruin him, especially the young man whowas playing billiards. He was from the Howard Family. His name was Dylan, and he was the mostinfluential person here!

Last month, he met Dylan once, and even his father was submissive to Dylan, let alone him.

Brian liked to pretend to be powerful, but he could not influence Dylan at all with his status. And itwas impossible to let Dylan give him respect.

And once he offended Dylan, he would be finished.

At this moment, he even wanted to escape.

However, Phoebe's help stimulated him. He decided to show his masculinity and protect Phoebe. Sohe shouted with his head held high, "Stop it."

"Who are you? How dare you tell me to stop?”

A wealthy young man pointed at Brian and cursed.

Brian swallowed his saliva, and the courage he had managed to squeeze out suddenly becameweak. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and sent it to that man, saying humbly, "Big brother,my name is Brian, the chairman of the HY Group, is my father. I am also from the H City."

"HY Group?" That man frowned and turned to ask other people, "Hey, do you know HY Group?"They all shook their heads to show they didn't know and hadn't even heard of it. Brian was veryembarrassed. Indeed, HY Group was nothing to these young rich men. It was just a small companyin their eyes.

"I don't care about the HY Group. Cut the crap and take out ten million. Then I'll let you take Loganaway. Otherwise, just get out of here!” The rich man said arrogantly.

Brian lowered his stance even more. "Big brother, Logan is my brother-in-law. He's too stupid toprovoke you. May I ask what he did?"

Seeing Brian's humble attitude, that man controlled his temper. Then he snorted and said, "You'reright. This bastard is blind. He thinks he's the best in the world after drinking some wine. He notonly bumped into Mr. Howard without apology but dares to speak rudely to us! Let me tell you this.We will cut his hands if you can't give us ten million dollars today to redeem him!"

Elizabeth couldn't help but scold, "He just scolded you a few words, then you just beat him up likethis? And you even asked for ten million dollars from us. You are robbers!"

Dylan, who was playing billiards, said, "You're right. I'm rubber. So what? How dare he calls mebastard? Your son is so bold! Now the price has risen, ten million won't solve the problem. You haveto pay twenty million. Of course...”

Dylan said with a malicious smile. "You can also go to the police and gamble to see if it's useful.However, don't blame me for not reminding you that once you call the police, I would not only cuthis hands but kill him!"

His words made Phoebe and the others shudder!

Brian swallowed even more nervously. He regretted it and was about to shirk his responsibility whenDylan hooked his finger and said jokingly, "So you are, Brian. Come here.”

"Mr. Howard..." Brian's legs were swinging, but he didn't dare refuse Dylan. Now his face was palewith fear.

However, when Brian walked over, Dylan patted him on the shoulder and was about to speak whenfootsteps came from the door, and a man came in.

It was Tom.

Dylan, who was still very aggressive a moment ago, suddenly changed his face and showed hisrespect when seeing Tom.
