Chapter 140 -
"It's good that you think so." Asher smiled faintly. He wanted to smoke. As he was fishing for a cigarette, he accidentally saw a familiar car following him in the rearview mirror.
It was a yellow Lamborghini; it was Tristan's car. Asher drove and bumped into Tristan's car just recently, so he remembered that car very well.
At this point, Savannah had smoothly become the second highest ranking one in the Gentlemen. Besides, Tristan was Savannah's cousin. Presumably, Tristan had also gained a higher status in the Gentlemen.
Asher was right. It was indeed Tristan in the car behind him.
At first, Tristan asked a few friends out to have some fun in a private club. However, when he had just walked there, he saw Asher's car in front of him.
If it was in the past, he would have taken a detour and run away. However, it was different now. The Gentlemen's power and influence had gradually grown stronger. Besides, Savannah was the second-in-command. It made Tristan gain immense confidence. He then recalled how beaten down he was when Asher bullied him during the few former instances. He finally felt that it was the chance for him to get revenge.
It was hard to act alone. Hence, Tristan asked the woman sitting in the shotgun seat to use his phone to call the other members of the Gentlemen. He wanted to ask them to come and surround Asher.
That woman was in her early twenties, and she was also a member of the Gentlemen. At the same time, she was Tristan's new girlfriend. She looked pretty with fair and tender skin. She had a good figure too. However, Tristan's appearance was so-so. He could get such a woman as his girlfriend most probably because of Savannah.
"Tristan, did you say that the Audi in front of us is Asher's car? Did you get it wrong? Does Asher drive a car that's only worth seventy or eighty thousand dollars?" The woman clearly did not believe that. A shabby Audi A6 was considered a luxurious car for common people. But for people like that, it would only be considered a car at most with a very low value.
Tristan became angry when she mentioned the Audi A6. Back then, he looked down at that shabby car, so he vented his anger at it. However, he did not fucking expect the mighty son of the Crawfords, the famous Asher, to drive such a cheap car.
"I will always recognize this car. It's definitely Asher in it. Two days ago, Miss Schmidt specially gave us an order. As long as we're members of the Gentlemen, we've got to find faults with Asher if we bump into him. She also said that all members of the Gentlemen are one big family. As long
as it's related to Asher, they've to come immediately. I didn't expect to bump into him. Hmph! Asher, you're unlucky!"
Tristan nearly lost his mind from his desire to take revenge. He was all set on avenging the humiliation that he had suffered.
The woman was hesitant for a while. After that, she could only spread the news using Tristan's phone.
In a manager's office in Schmidt Group.
Rose had just returned from inspecting the assembly line. She was slightly tired, so she asked her assistant to make her a cup of coffee to feel more energetic.
After Garrett and Maggie's marriage was called off, only then did Xavier start to put Rose in an important position. He asked her to be in charge of the design and production at the same time. Besides, Rose knew very well that she did not get that chance easily. Hence, she was always strict with herself on anything related to work. She was vastly different from Garrett in that aspect. In the past, Garrett always subconsciously thought that he was the heir of the Schmidts. Hence, his working attitude was not that important.
Before long, the phone that she put on the office desk vibrated. Rose put down the cup and picked up the phone. She saw that it was a call from Savannah, so she picked it up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Miss Schmidt, a member of the Gentlemen bumped into Asher near Bar Street. These days, he's been hiding at home and not coming out. He finally came out today. Can we take appropriate actions?"
Savannah mentioned that it was a member of the Gentlemen instead of clearly specifying that it was Tristan. She naturally had her reason.
Rose said without any hesitation, "Very well. Give them my order. Ask all the members near Bar Street to rush there immediately. I'm curious as to how long Asher can hold himself back." Now that Rose had the Gentlemen with her, she was not at all afraid of Asher. Even if it was a great mess, the families behind the Gentlemen would work together to deal with the Crawfords. She did not have to step forward at all. She just had to control the situation behind the scenes. After hanging up the call, Savannah called Tristan. She said, "Tristan, don't get involved in this affair. Ask others to deal with Asher. Do you get me?"
Savannah considered a great deal more than Tristan. Although The Gentlemen's power and influence were growing day by day, Asher was not easy meat. She was not afraid if he wanted to deal with the Gentlemen, but she was afraid that he would target a certain person.
If Tristan made the move first, it was very likely that Asher would only deal with Tristan. Then, the Andersons would get into trouble.
Hence, Savannah did not mention that it was Tristan who had bumped into Asher when she called Rose just now.
"Sis, do we still have to be afraid of him up until now?" However, Tristan did not think so.
"How silly you are! Do you think the members of the Gentlemen are very united? Do you know all the seventy members? Tristan, don't act recklessly. You've got to listen to me!" Savannah said firmly.
"Alright, I'll listen to you," Tristan said half-heartedly. After that, he hung up the call. However, his expression turned malicious. He had finally gained a chance to get revenge, so how could he give that up easily?
After that, Tristan contacted other members to surround Asher from various directions. Asher took a look in the rearview mirror. There was a chance for Tristan to overtake his car, but Tristan still followed him. It seemed like there was something else on Tristan's mind.
"Mr. Crawford, do you know the people in the car behind us?" Hunter had also noticed Tristan's car. After all, the sound made by a super sports car was very special.
Asher nodded and said, "The owner of this car is called Tristan Anderson. He's a member of the Gentlemen, and his elder sister is the second highest ranking one in the Gentlemen." Hunter frowned and asked, "Does it mean that he wants to deal with us?"
"He wants to deal with me. Hunter, you remember the plan I told you last night, don't you? It looks like we've got to bring it forward," Asher said.
"Mr. Crawford, should I contact Peter and others now?"
Asher nodded and said after a slight hesitation, "Ask them to hail a taxi to go straight to Pearl Group." The boss of Pearl Group was none other than the Schmidts. Since he wanted to make a move, he had to let Rose, the head of the Gentlemen, see clearly how he was going to deal with the Gentlemen.
After that, he stepped on the gas pedal and brought his car to an extremely fast speed. He drove straight to Pearl Group.
"Motherfucker! He wants to run away! Unless you fly a plane!" Tristan snorted and followed Asher's car closely.
Around twenty minutes later, Asher stopped the car downstairs of the building of Pearl Group. He then said, "Hunter, go first. You're the boss of Sky Bar from now on. We can't let the members
of the Gentlemen know you for the time being. If not, it'll be very troublesome to manage Sky Bar in the future."
Hunter did not hesitate. "Mr. Crawford, I'll be nearby. Call me if there's anything." After that, Hunter got out of the car and left.
At that moment, a few luxurious cars appeared at the intersections ahead at the same time. Then, the cars stopped. A dozen young men and women got out of the cars. They were clearly the members of the Gentlemen.
Tristan also followed suit and parked his car a few feet away. After that, he got out of the car with his new girlfriend. He then waved at the group of young people in front of him with a sneer. Luxurious cars were not rare in Alexandrius. But it could cause quite a big commotion to see the fleets of luxury cars at the same time.
A lot of workers from Pearl Group had seen the fleet of cars. The piece of news spread, and soon a dozen workers were up against the window watching everything. They could not help discussing it.
In Rose's office, the assistant walked in from outside. "Miss Schmidt, do you want more coffee?" Rose shook her head slightly and asked, "What's going on outside the office? Why is it so noisy?" Her assistant said, "A fleet of luxurious cars appeared on the road outside out of the blue. A group of newly hired workers are enjoying the show. Miss Schmidt, I've scolded them." "Where did the fleet of cars come from?" Rose could not help frowning. In the end, she still walked to the French window and looked down at the road. At the moment, the number of luxurious cars had reached double figures. Rose was not unfamiliar with these luxurious cars. Suddenly, she saw a black Audi that was surrounded by luxurious cars. Rose suddenly understood what was going on.
However, Rose did not understand why Asher had stopped his car at Pearl Group. Did he drive there by chance, or did he do that on purpose?
When Rose was baffled, the door of the Audi opened up. A youth with a slender figure got out of the car. It was none other than Asher. Rose's office was located on the seventh floor, and it was not far from Asher. She could even see his expression.
At that time, Asher lit a cigarette and took a drag. The white smoke was rising gradually. At the same time, Asher lifted his chin slightly. He looked over to Rose's gaze.
His youthful short hair made him look very energetic. His facial features were refined and distinct. Even Rose had to admit that he was indeed very handsome.
But in Rose's perception, she cared more about a man's capabilities rather than his physical charms. As such, she had never been moved when Asher tried to gain her affection like that in the past.
