While Kevin was urging Beetle to take action against Michael, Michael was focused on something else.
The moment that he saw Beetle, he was actually surprised. But the emotions that were swirling within those eyes, they told Michael that there was more to the appearance of beetle in this place.
It was for that reason that he informed Onyx to investigate the information about Beetle. And most of the information about this guy had already been found by Onyx within just less than 30 seconds.
At the moment, Michael was scrolling through the smartwatch, going through the information. Of course, Onyx could not talk out loud, otherwise, it would shock the people around.
For that reason, Michael had no other choice but to read the document that contained the information on Onyx by himself. But with his reading speed, he was able to easily go through most of the crucial information within just a short time.
Good thing, Onyx had read the situation, so, the summary was presented first, before the detailed information followed later on. So, just by going through the summary, Michael was able to easily tell what was going on here.
At this moment, Michael saw that Beetle was approaching him. And the way that he was doing it, it made Michael realize that there was no false information that had been presented by Onyx.
This guy was already cautious of him. This was something that would not be expected from many people. After all, Michael was just a teenager. For most veteran fighters, they would not even take teenagers like Michael seriously.
But judging by the expression that was on Beetle's face, it was clear that he was cautious of Michael. As for what it was, most probably, it was due to his combat experience?
Regardless, Beetle approached Michael, standing just about 2 meters away from him.
Michael gazed at Beetle for a moment before he spoke, "Bernard Morris, 28 years old, previously a soldier, but was dishonorably discharged. Currently has a younger brother, suffering from congenital heart defects, with the medical expenses costing $5,800 a month.
Joined the bloody cage arena in 2020, was champion for 3 years, before he lost the title, and only reclaimed it over one week ago.
It was detected that the younger brother has other complications that require urgent surgery. But, the surgery is as high as $30,000."
At first, when Michael began speaking, most of the people could not understand what he was talking about. This obviously included Kevin.
But for Beetle, he gazed at Michael with a grim expression on his face. As for why that was the case, it was simply because this information was about him.
Ever since he was discharged from the military, not many people came to know of his name. That was especially after he joined the underground fighting arena.
But now, this young man in front of him, possessed the information on him. It was not just about himself, but even about his younger sibling.
How was it possible for Beetle, rather, Bernard not to be shocked? This made him much more wary of Michael, as he took a step back, extremely cautious.
As for Kevin and the others, when Michael mentioned that Bernard had joined the underground fighting arena in 2020, it was only then that they realized that he was actually talking about Beetle.
They might not recognize the information regarding his brother, or his real name, but the information about him from the underground fighting arena, they recognized that.
This was something that left them shocked. They had not anticipated that Michael was capable of finding so much detailed information about this guy within such a short time.
In fact, they began wondering, was it possible that Michael had already known about Kevin's plan in advance? Or, was it possible that he had only just acquired the information now?
All of them had seen him busy with the smart watch on his wrist. So, they initially thought that he was going to make a call, so that someone would come over.
But now, it turned out that he was going through the information on Beetle.
The thing that shocked them the most was how Michael was able to obtain such detailed information. It also shocked them that Bernard was actually a soldier, at least before he was discharged from the military.
As for the dishonorary discharge, most of them could not understand it. But for those that could, they felt that there was a possibility that Bernard had done a mistake while in the military, one that could not be ignored, and was eventually discharged from the military.
With such a reputation to his name, it was no wonder that it would be difficult for him to be able to find a good job. Additionally, his skills, it seems that they were obtained during the time that he was still in the military.
"Who exactly are you?" Bernard asked as he stared at Michael with a serious expression on his face.
"Who I am is not important. But, I believe that I can help you. Most probably, that guy over there asked you to take action, and he promised to give you a good amount of money.
How about this? I will pay all the expenses for your younger brother, making sure that he is transferred to the best hospital in the city. Additionally, I will offer you a job, and the pay will be quite good.
That way, you will not have to continue getting involved in those illegal fights. After all, if by chance you all get arrested, the consequences could be unimaginable." Michael made an offer.
"You punk! How dare you try to poach someone that I just recruited? Let me tell you, no matter what, today, I'm going to teach you a lesson!" Kevin shouted as he looked at Michael.
Michael had not spoken in a low voice. So, Kevin and the others had obviously heard his words. Thus, when Kevin realized that Michael was actually trying to poach Bernard away, he could not help but get infuriated.
Bernard on the other hand could not help but get surprised. He had no anticipated such an offer from Michael.
Currently, he was not sure about Michael's combat capability. Even though he had watched the previous fight, it was not enough to be able to tell the exact extent of Michael's abilities.
After all, the way that he had handled the group of eight, it was just so easy. It was clear, he had not used his full abilities.
But it seems, apart from his combat abilities, this guy had quite an influential background. After all, to be able to obtain so much information on him in such a short time, it required connections.
To say that he was not tempted by the offer by Michael, it would be a lie. He was much more tempted to agree. But still, there was something that was holding him back.
When Kevin came to him, he had done his own investigation. He understood that Kevin was from an underworld background. That implied, that guy would not play by the rules.
Most probably, if he did something that ended up provoking him, there was a possibility that he might target his younger brother.
It was impossible for him to always stay at the hospital with his younger brother. After all, he needed to work to earn the money that could be used in paying the medical fee.
What would happen if his younger brother was targeted while he was away? That was something that he could not risk.
It was just that, currently, he was trapped in a dilemma. Just from the fact that Michael was associated with Alex and the others, it was clear that he was not a simple person.
Additionally, with his ability to acquire all that information on him, his background was not simple either. This implied, if he really took action against Michael, assuming that he could take him down, he would have risked being targeted by his background.
But if he did not take action against Michael, and did as he was told by Kevin, he would not be able to get the money. As for accepting Michael's offer, if he did so, he would be going against Kevin.
Caught in such a dilemma, for the first time in his life, Bernard was not really sure on what to do.
Looking at Bernard's expression, Michael could easily tell what the guy was thinking about. So, he said, "You don't need to hesitate. He promised you just a small amount of money, I'm sure. But, I can cover all the medical expenses for your brother, as long as you work for me.
Additionally, you don't need to worry about him retaliating against you. Today, the Green family will be dealt with completely, today."
It was not just Bernard who was left shocked by Michael's words, but even Alex and the others were left dumbfounded. None of them had expected Michael to make such a declaration.
But since they had the most understanding about Michael, they knew that he was not the one to boast. And, with his background, and ability to be able to acquire Sky Technologies, then there was a possibility that he was going to be able to deal with the Green family.
The Green family was not simple or easy to deal with. After all, with the connections that they had in the underworld, it was difficult for them to be uprooted.
Of course, the difficulty only applied to those without great abilities. For those giants, especially those from the central province, they could easily deal with the small Green family.
"He! You are claiming that my Green family is going to be dealt with? Do you even have the ability to do it?" Kevin, after a moment of shock, sneered at Michael.
Then, without caring about Michael anymore, he gazed at Bernard, who was still hesitating, and said, "You better deal with him right now. Otherwise, you can forget about the money. And not just about that, your brother will disappear from this world as well."
