Chapter 108

Atlas remarked ruffled Donald, as he was referring to Tony Tiger, the legend of Night Pulse at the East Eighteenth Street of Newtropolis! Tony Tiger, once an underworld legend, had started practicing religion lately for some unknown reason. Everyone hoped for his return to the streets, but no one could convince him to do so. Donald hadn't expected a brazen man to show up and jeer at Tony Tiger, calling him Tony Cat. Atlas knew the reason behind Tony Tiger's retreat into the religious world. Only by doing so, he could cut off those useless bloodsuckers in the underworld. Tony Tiger was there to witness the Dawsons getting blacklisted from the underworld. He escaped to the mountains on the same day. He vowed to stay there until the day he died. "Atlas Blackwell, you're doomed!" Sounding excited, Donald dialed Tony Tiger's number. "Hello, is this Tony Tiger?" Tony Tiger was in the middle of performing a prayer. He said crossly, "Didn't I tell you not to call me?" "Mr. Tony, you might not be active now, but everyone still holds you in high regard. Did you know that someone just called you 'Tony Cat'?" Donald hissed with an intimidating expression. Tony Tiger hated it when people called him "Tony Cat" during his active years in the underworld. However, he wasn't interested in getting to the bottom of it now. He casually asked, "And who is he?" Donald, mistakenly thinking that Tony Tiger was enraged, immediately reported, "His name is Atlas Blackwell!" Tony Tiger immediately shot up from the seat cushion in shock. "Is he at Night Pulse currently?" "Yes, Mr. Tony." Tony Tiger quickly decided. "Tell him to wait there. I'll be there soon." "Got it." After hanging up, Donald chuckled and said to Atlas, "Atlas, you could have lived, but you just lost your chance because of that one sentence. "You've rattled Mr. Tony out of his retirement. It's not just you that'll go down. Tabitha and her family will be punished too, now that Tony Tiger is back!" It was at that moment Crystal realized the gravity of the issue. Crap! They got themselves into hot water this time! Tony Tiger would personally show up! "Atlas, what do we do?" She believed they were done for, as she knew that Hunter wouldn't come back to rescue them. Even if Hunter's dad showed up, he wouldn't dare as much as let out a squeak in front of Donald. They were doomed! "Don't worry about it. He's just a sickly cat," Atlas commented calmly, but Crystal's world started to fall apart. How could Atlas be so impudent? Raging, she hissed, "Please keep your mouth shut." Donald stood guard by the door to prevent them from escaping. "Crystal, if you beg for mercy, I could put in a good word for you when Mr. Tony is here." Crystal snorted, "I'm not begging you for anything!" Donald snapped, "Fine! I'll let you have a taste of what it's like." Licking his lips, he advanced toward Crystal. However, before he could make it far, someone pulled him back. He growled impatiently, "What are you doing?" The man pointed behind him with trembling fingers. "Big Don, Mr. Tony is here." Donald didn't expect Tony Tiger to show up this fast. He had to behave himself in Tony Tiger's presence. Hence, he respectfully said, "Mr. Tony, thank you for gracing us with your presence. "This brat over here is disrespecting you. To us, you're realizing your life goals by retreating and practicing religion. But this jerk had the guts to call you 'Tony Cat.' He was wrong to think that the Night Pulse was without a leader!" He added in a caustic and angry tone, "We can't take this anymore!" To his shock, Tony Tiger did not even take a look at him. Instead, Tony Tiger hurried over to Atlas to show his respect. "Mr. Blackwell, Tony Cat reporting to you! Please forgive me for showing up late!" Donald's mind went blank. He wore a baffled expression. Tony Tiger had indeed shown up, but in a move uncharacteristic of himself, he willingly referred to himself as "Tony Cat"!
