Chapter 146: Dangerous Dragon
Daniel Schmidt—Tony finally remembered his name. He didn’t remember his name because he used to call him with whatever swear word that comes to his mind.
Daniel Schmidt was known well in the elite circles of this country even though he was not a citizen. His love for girls could only be rivaled by his love for money. He was too prideful to take a loss too. He was someone anyone wouldn’t want to mess with. He had money; he had friends who shared his interests and were powerful in the government. They weren’t just his friends; they were dependent on his money and that made him notorious.
If there was someone unshakable in Hollywood, it was Daniel Schmidt.
Judging by Marcella’s reaction, Tony could say that Daniel might have had his foundation shaken that night. He saw it in her eyes that she was not willing to back off. Like he did, she had figured out what was going to happen to her friend in there. She was too much like her father in that aspect and she wouldn’t allow her friend to be abused by that greedy pig.
If he had to decide, he would leave this place immediately. He would never like to cross paths with the likes of Daniel Schmidt. He wouldn’t want to be seen with him; he wouldn’t want his help even if he was dying out of thirst in the middle of a desert and Schmidt had a bottle of clean water. He’d rather die than be helped by Schmidt.
On the other hand, he wouldn’t want to antagonize that pig either. That pig likes the muddy swamp he rolls in and Tony wouldn’t want to get dirtied in there. Yes, he has blood on his hands, but he cannot wash away his blood in raw sewage.
Another thing was that, although he was a pig in his opinion, he was hailed as the dragon. Yeah, he was called the wolf and his wife dearly calls him an eagle, but he was in no way comparable to a dragon.
He’d rather leave.
Tony was in a dilemma. He can ask his wife to not deal with whatever that was going on in someone else’s life as it would make their life ugly. She probably would understand him and do what he asks of her. She was not that irrational.
But she will not forgive him, just like she hasn’t forgiven him for choosing to protect her over her sister. She would hide it in her heart and box it up along with the feelings she had boxed up for her sister.
More than that, she would be filled with guilt for not doing anything to save her friend.
As a husband, it was his duty to protect her. Not just her physical self, but also her mental well-being needs protection.
Marcella took a step toward the restaurant. "Tony, I’ll go ask Beth if~"
Tony grabbed her hand. "No..." He shook his head.
Letting her meet that pig was not an option. It would turn very ugly if she got in that pig’s eyes. Then the situation would get terrible. If anyone even looks at his wife the wrong way, he would finish them. That would cause an international incident.
"I’ll go see..." Tony said. He tried to smile, but he couldn’t lie to her and his eyes showed the hesitation he had.
Daniel Schmidt wouldn’t like it if someone tried to stop him from taking the prey he had marked. People have been literally burned at a stake for that.
"Tony," Marcella held his hand. It was not bright but she could sense the hesitation in his tone. He didn’t look normal to her. "Are you okay?" she asked. "If you are not feeling good, I’ll just take a peek at her and~"
"No, silly. I am fine," Tony hugged her and kissed her head.
"Get in," he opened the car door for her. "I’ll leave the engine running. See, there... Henry and his men are watching you. So, don’t worry. If you hear something inside, don’t mind me and leave with Joey."
Marcella gulped. She could see his face clearly in the overhead light and he looked like a soldier preparing for war.
"Tony, who is he?" she asked holding his hand. "Is he... Maybe, we should leave..." she said.
If she had to choose her friend or her husband, she would definitely choose her husband.
"Really?" Tony leaned to her face. "Will you sleep peacefully tonight?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" Marcella furrowed her brows.
"That guy is going to violate your friend. After he’s done with her, he will let his "crew" take her. Can you sleep knowing you could have done something?"
Marcella said nothing. He could have not given her the details and she probably would have been okay. But now...
"That’s what I thought," Tony smiled.
"Who is he?" Marcella asked. She wanted a name.
"His name is Daniel Schmidt," Tony patted her head. He nodded at her and closed the door.
Marcella quickly rolled down the window. Tony bowed and looked at her. "Tony, take Henry with you," Marcella said. She had a feeling that she had heard that name before and a biter feeling rose along with that name. That guy mustn’t be a good guy.
Tony smiled. Of course, she doesn’t even think that he couldn’t handle that guy. She just asks him to bring one other person with him. What can he do? He didn’t think that it would be a bad idea to bring Henry with him.
Making sure that Marcella was locked in the car, he walked into the restaurant. He signaled Henry to follow him. Henry was not that shocked to see Tony getting back in. without Tony saying anything, he knew what must have gone through.
Bambina is not so different from her father!
Tony walked in. The Hollywood posse was waiting by the elevator. Marcella’s friend was surrounded by a group of men. They all were excited. After their boss finishes up with her, it would be their chance.
Bethany Jane recognized him through the reflection on the golden elevator door.
"Mr. Crawford!" she smiled widely seeing him.
She shouldered the guys around her and tried hard to slip out of the group of men. But it was impossible.
Daniel Schmidt heard the commotion behind him and he looked behind.
Tony’s eyes met with Daniel’s.
