Chapter 685

Joshua's voice grew louder, so much so that Cedric could hear him from the other end of the line. Cedric's expression darkened immediately. "Did you just call me a spineless lackey? Are you planning to have me arrested? What do you think you're doing?" Cedric demanded angrily. If it weren't for the fact they were speaking over the phone, Cedric would've already lost his temper. Cedric was the mayor, and the only reason he humbled himself in front of Matthew was out of respect—for both Matthew and the Juprus Ring. Joshua, on the other hand, was the same guy who would nod and bow whenever they met, offering to pour Cedric tea and even hold doors open for him when he went to the bathroom.

In Lambda City, my word still means something. I'll make sure the both of you end up in jail. I'll beat you both to death!"
