Chapter 58: Pregnancy Doesn't Excuse Assault?

"You all are dead meat now!" Joseph couldn't hold back his anger. Today, he had practically ruled San Francisco. And yet, there was still someone threatening him with their father? Wasn't that just courting death? Thinking of this, Joseph coldly nodded. "Alright, since you want to dig your own grave, go ahead." "I'm curious to see how you'll screw over your dad." Joseph looked icily at the pregnant woman and took out his phone to make a call. "Hello, there's a pregnant woman here trying to harm my daughter. Just letting you know. You know what to do next, right?" After hanging up, he turned to the pregnant woman. "Didn't you say you were calling your dad? Go ahead, call him. Don't waste time." He then picked up Tangna and comforted her. "Sweetie, don't be scared. Daddy's here." Lucy watched Joseph, filled with admiration. She knew Joseph was not only a powerful man but also a caring husband and father. Initially, Lucy felt sorry for the woman and was about to speak up for her when she overheard the woman's phone call. "Dad! There's a filthy woman, a filthy man, and their bastard daughter bullying me! Come quickly and bring more people!" Any sympathy Lucy had vanished instantly. Bully my daughter, will you? Call her a bastard, will you? You're asking for trouble! Joseph noticed a scratch on his daughter's arm. He immediately called Dr. Mundo. "I'm here. Bring the medical kit over." Not long after, a group of men in black escorted a burly middle-aged man to the scene. The middle-aged man glared at Joseph and roared. "Who dares to touch my daughter!" Joseph held Tangna without fear and responded. "Your daughter tried to harm my child first!" The man glared at Joseph with rage. "I don't care! You dare touch my daughter, I won't let you off!" "My daughter is pregnant! You even hurt a pregnant woman! Are you even human?" Before he finished speaking, the men in black lunged at Joseph. However, Joseph easily dodged their attacks. "Oh, I thought your father was someone important. He's just a head of security. What's there to brag about?" The pregnant woman screamed. "He's not just a head of security! He's the security manager! Don't you dare look down on my family!" Joseph chuckled. "Oh, security manager. So these people are just security guards. I thought they were something more." The woman shrieked. "You look down on me, don't you!" Joseph shrugged, his silence confirming her suspicion. The black-clad guards charged at Joseph, but he calmly took them down. Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face turned pale. He realized Joseph wasn't an ordinary person. "Who is this guy? Is he some kind of martial artist?" "Why is he so formidable?!" "Who are you! Tell us!" The defeated guards cautiously got up. The security manager, the woman's father, yelled from a distance. "What are you doing! All of you, attack together! We must kill this man!" As tensions escalated, the sound of FBI sirens echoed nearby. It turned out the woman was the wife of a high-ranking FBI official, Alan. Joseph was curious. Would Alan side with his wife against him? This was going to be interesting! When the FBI cars arrived, Alan approached Joseph. "Mr. Joseph! What are you doing here?" Joseph calmly pointed ahead. "Ask your wife." Alan glanced at his wife, feeling utterly exasperated. "It's my fault. I failed to discipline my daughter properly and caused you trouble!" He knelt and kowtowed to Joseph. Alan was on the verge of breaking down. Not only Alan but also Sophia, the pregnant woman, was even more shocked. "Honey, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling to this man?" "Is he..." She suddenly realized. If her husband, a high-ranking FBI official, was so afraid of this man, Then this man must be a powerful figure in San Francisco! Sophia swallowed hard, terrified. The guards were also stunned. Who had they fought with? This man had an incredibly terrifying background! If they fought him, who knew what could happen! Joseph pointed to his daughter's injury. "Do you see the wound on my daughter? Your pregnant daughter did this. What should you do about it?" Alan wished he could kowtow to Joseph. He turned to Sophia. "Apologize to Mr. Joseph!" "Mr. Joseph..." Sophia was completely dumbfounded. For years, her husband had always catered to her every whim. But now he was asking her to apologize? Sophia was reluctant but didn't dare refuse. She swallowed hard and approached Joseph. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Alan kicked her hard. "Apologize properly!" "I'm sorry!" Sophia didn't want it to end this way and looked at Alan tearfully. "I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Alan didn't dislike her. He was just afraid something bad would happen to her. Since she had already apologized, Joseph decided not to push further. "Alan, I can forgive your wife, but I have one condition." "From now on, within San Francisco, you are responsible for my wife and daughter." "If they suffer any grievances, you will pay. Understand?" Alan was stunned but quickly responded. "Yes! Thank you, Mr. Joseph, for sparing us!"
