“I’m not going to that sh*tty place! Not even dogs go there!”Avery glared disdainfully. “Besides, today’s Mother’s big day. She’ll be embarrassed if we just leave like that!”“The entire place is booked, you say?” Gabriel coldly asked.“I don’t f*cking care!”“The Heavenly Box has to be ours tonight!”“I’m a member here! You need to serve me, no matter what!”“If not, I’ll report you people to the Food and Drug Administration!”Gabriel had a determined look.After all, he couldn’t even do anything significant. If he couldn’t deal with such a small matter, Lilian would surely look down on him.The lady smiled, unperturbed by his threats.“I’m sorry. You can report us all you want, but we can’t serve you tonight.”“Please don’t block the entrance,” she said firmly.“My name is Silas John.” Silas stepped forward with a smile before Gabriel could lash out.“Tell your boss to see me.”“Tell them that I’m here!”The lady froze. She was naturally terrified of the John family
“Ms. Lee! I was wondering who it was!”Silas glared coldly at her, his eyes narrowed.“Do you think you have the right to go against me just because the Newgate Chamber of Commerce is backing you up?”Silas was filled with disdain.At the end of the day, Ms. Lee was just a woman who relied on Kellan to rise to power.‘Does she really think that she’s capable?’‘Does a sinful woman like her have any rights?’Ms. Lee smiled faintly.“True, CEO Ruiz and I are small fries. We’re nothing to you.”“That said, Mr. Bolton has the place booked for the honorable Mr. York.”“If he knew that a mere relative of the John family is causing trouble outside…”“I’m sure he’ll be here to teach you a lesson soon enough.”Ms. Lee spoke gently.She seemed so frail, as if a small gust of wind could bring her down. However, her threatening words were enough to make Silas’s eyes twitch.“Mr. Bolton?” he said, cold sweat forming on his forehead.“Which Mr. Bolton?”Ms. Lee chuckled.“Other than
A custom-made Maybach stopped in front of them. Eight layers of glass were stacked in every single window. Even sniper rifles couldn’t penetrate it.A Rolls-Royce Phantom sat between eight of the Maybach cars. It had an old-school look to it. It wasn’t going too fast, but it exuded a dignified aura.Ms. Lee and the others trembled, and rushed forward.“Mr. Bolton’s here!”Silas and the others instinctively stood at the side, looking at the convoy with admiration and curiosity.They could tell that Azrael was coming.They wanted to know who he invited.Judging from Azrael’s identity, the people he’d invite would normally be from the five hidden families or the top ten families.The door of the cars opened.Thirty-six fierce men in suits rushed out, looking stern and unapproachable.Eight men in robes walked out, their eyes sharp and fearsome.After all the men made sure that there wasn’t any danger, they opened the door of the Rolls-Royce.Everyone saw a single leg coming ou
Harvey nodded with a smile, and walked beside Azrael.Saul, Lochlan, Kellan, and the others followed as well.The group chatted idly, in high spirits.Lilian and the others were shocked. They couldn’t accept the fact that Harvey was Azrael’s guest. They couldn’t bear Harvey looking down on them, either.No—he didn’t even see them in the first place.Birds in the sky wouldn’t bat an eye toward mere ants.It was only natural.Mandy let out a silent sigh.She knew Harvey had an extraordinary identity. She doubted him at first, but her belief was getting stronger again after seeing what was happening in front of her.Sometimes, she would think that Harvey was below her.But most of the time, she’d feel that Harvey was like a star in the sky—completely unreachable.It was fate that the two were even a married couple to begin with.It felt like a dream—it was almost unreal.While Lilian and the others were still shocked, Avery didn’t want to believe anything in front of her. She
Avery didn’t realize it, but Gabriel was already shivering in fear.He quickly dragged Avery back, and repeatedly bowed to Azrael.“I’m sorry, Mr. Bolton! I’m really sorry! My wife’s a little out of it right now!”“She didn’t mean it! Please be kind to her!”Lilian kept nodding. “That’s right, that’s right! She’s a little crazy! She didn’t mean it!”Lilian wasn’t worried about Avery at all. She simply didn’t want Azrael to get angry and take back the money he gave her.“Mr. Bolton, here’s my wife and my parents-in-law,” Harvey said calmly, before Mandy could speak. “This woman didn’t mean to offend you.”“Give her a chance.”Harvey didn’t want Avery to die, even though he didn’t like this woman and her husband.If that happened, Lilian would pester the living daylights out of him.“I see. They’re your family,” Azrael said.“Hahaha! What a coincidence!”He waved his hand, signaling for the others to step back. Then, he looked at Lilian and Simon. “I’m sorry about that, eve
Seeing that, Lilian screamed.“Enough, Harvey!”“Silas is our guest! How dare you let that woman slap him!”“Is this a joke?!”Mandy hesitated, then spoke up to defend Silas. “Young Master John saved my mother, Harvey. Maybe we can…”Harvey immediately cut her off.“The staff aren’t servants. They’re free people, like every single one of us.”“What goes around, comes around.”“If I wanted Silas dead, he wouldn’t be standing right now.”“Do you think he’d just take a couple of slaps to the face?”“Ask him. See if he’s going to fight back after that.”Silas gritted his teeth.“You…”The lady gritted her teeth, then charged forward. She immediately slapped Silas’s face a few times.Slap, slap!Two palm prints appeared on Silas’s face. He was seething with anger; he wanted to strangle both Harvey and the lady to death, but he simply couldn’t. He was filled with unbridled rage.‘Just you wait, you b*stard!’ he thought angrily.“Remember, call me if someone comes at you fo
“Mandy!”“Don’t go!”Simon quickly called Mandy, but she had already picked up the pace.He could only wave his hand at Harvey, and then catch up to his daughter.Despite her shame, Lilian wanted to head inside. However, she could only leave with the others, looking resentful.Gabriel and Avery stumbled out of the place immediately, afraid they’d be pushed around by Azrael if they stayed.At that very moment, a red Lamborghini parked at the entrance. A long, slender leg wrapped in fishnet leggings could be seen. A second later, Kairi stepped out of the car.Harvey’s head started to ache when he saw that. He finally knew why Mandy left.Then again, it’d be bad if he tried to explain the situation. He had no clue what to actually tell Mandy.The door of the passenger’s seat opened. Arlet walked out as well.Harvey was speechless.Thank goodness Mandy had already left; he wouldn’t know what to tell her if she didn’t.Azrael had a profound look when he saw the couple’s little
Everyone knew that Azrael’s strength was quite extraordinary.Together with his family’s influence, if anyone dared to assassinate him, their entire families would be burned to the ground.That said, a few did try to kill him when he started to learn martial arts. Now that he was well-known, nobody dared to attempt something like that.Without bothering to take action, Azrael pointed at the killer.The security guards immediately pulled out their firearms, and surrounded the killer completely.The welcome lady finally raised her head, but she wasn’t looking at Azrael; her gaze was locked on Kairi. Then, she glanced at Harvey.Harvey returned her gaze calmly. If it wasn’t for Kairi and Arlet, he would’ve dealt with the killer by then.The situation was in utter chaos. Nobody could know if there were more killers hidden in the crowd. It was best for Harvey to sit back and watch for the time being.“No need to keep her alive,” Azrael said, as the security guards stepped up.They
