UNRIVALLED GOD OF WAR - Season 2 Episode 21

Nathan narrowed his eyes, “Mr. Zabinski?”

T-Rex had nothing more to lose after selling his master out, so he decided to just bite the bullet. “The oldest of the Zabinski family, Jerry Zabinski.”

“Like me, Novem was a follower of the Zabinski family. But he had a higher ranking and he was also the spokesperson for the Zabinski family in Channing.”

“Your killing of Simon had greatly affected the family’s profit, so Mr. Zabinski wished to settle the score with you.”

Nathan’s mouth twitched upwards, “Settle the score with me?”

“That’s right. He said I should have some fun with you, the fatal kind of fun. He also said…”

“Said what?” frowned Nathan.

T-Rex decided to go all out. “His nickname is the Player because he likes hooking up with all types of beautiful women. He’s got his eyes on Ms. Penny, and he wants her to climb into his bed willingly so he can have his way with her.”

Nathan’s eyes narrowed into slits and his voice turned deathly cold. “Bastard!”

A sense of dread started to creep into Nathan. He took out his phone and gave Penny a call, but there was no answer.

His face fell before he quickly called his mother-in-law.

When the call went through, Leah spoke in a hushed voice. “Penny told me not to tell you. She went to the Smiths to ask her uncle for a loan after you left.”

Nathan hung up the call and turned to Thomas. “We need to get to the Smiths right away!”

…

Penny had summoned all her courage to drive to the Smith residence even when she was aware that there was a very good chance they would slam the door on her face.

And yet, it seemed like her uncle and his family had been expecting her.

Indeed, they welcomed her.

When she walked into the living room, she noticed that only Samuel, Paul, and a few others were there. But her granddad, Sean, was nowhere to be seen.

Penny quickly cut to the chase and told them the reason for her visit.

Samuel grinned widely. “Penn, we are family. Even though your granddad kicked your family out then, you will always be my niece.”

“The loan is not that big of a deal either.”

“But you’re asking for two hundred million. Our companies have been at a loss recently, so we don’t have that kind of money.”

Penny had more or less been expecting such a response from her uncle.

She was already feeling pleasantly surprised because Samuel wasn’t insulting her like before.

She plastered on a smile. “I understand that it’s inappropriate for me to ask for such a large sum of money, but I really don’t have any other options. Anyway, I thank you for your warm hospitality and I shall make a move now.”

Samuel stopped Penny hurriedly from leaving. “Wait!”

“Is there anything else?” asked Penny quizzically.

Samuel grinned. “We may not have the money to help you, but I know of someone who can. All you have to do is just to ask and he’ll definitely give you a loan.”

“Who is that?” asked Penny in surprise.

Samuel smiled mysteriously. “The person just happens to pay us a visit today, and he’s upstairs in the study right now. Feel free to go upstairs and find out yourself if you wish to know who he is.”

Penny hesitated for a second before nodding, “Alright.”

Penny stood up and headed towards the staircase, when May, who was sitting beside her, reached out to stop her.

“That person has a pet peeve. He doesn’t like to be interrupted by phone calls whenever he’s in a meeting or business discussion. So it’s best for you to leave your phone here before you head up.”

Penny handed her handbag and her phone to May then walked straight up the stairs.

There were two bodyguards in front of Samuel’s study.

One of them opened the door for her when he saw Penny approaching. “Ms. Smith, if you please.”

Penny frowned slightly before walking into the study.

Inside the study, she saw a malicious-looking man sitting in a leather chair behind the desk. He was holding a glass of red wine and smiling ambiguously at her.

Penny didn’t recognize him. “I’m sorry, you are…?”

The man gave her a sly smile. “I’m Jerry Zabinski, the eldest son of the Zabinski family of the Southern Four.”

Penny had heard of the Zabinski family previously. They were considered one of the wealthier, more elite families in the South region and was very influential.

She had never expected this man to be one of the Zabinski family.

Penny looked at Jerry Zabinski suspiciously. “I have no ties with Mr. Zabinski at all so why did my uncle say that you will be willing to give me a loan as long as I asked you?”

Jerry’s gaze traveled up and down Penny’s slender figure then he replied in a seductive voice, “Because I’m interested in you.”

Penny’s face hardened and her voice took on a chill. “I think you got it wrong. I’m not the kind of woman who would sell herself for money. You are barking up the wrong tree. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”

She turned and walked towards the door, but when she tried to open it, she realized it had been locked from the outside.

Penny’s face ashen as she turned to look at Jerry, “You…”

Jerry grinned brazenly. “My nickname is the Player. I always get my hands on those women that I have set my eyes on whether they’re socialites or virgins. And you are no different.”
