“Are you telling the truth?” David asked in a deep voice.“Dave, don't you believe me? When did I lie to you? Plus, we've been friends for so long, so don't you know what King Kong is like? How could he do something like that?” Colby said.“Alright, I got it,” David replied.“Dave, you must find a way to save King Kong. He gets beaten every day in there and I'm worried he won't be able to hold on much longer.”David did not speak. At this moment, his heart seemed to be surging with lava and it was about to erupt like a volcano at any time.He stood up and said, “Everyone, since something came up at the last minute, I won’t be able to stay here with you all tonight. I will pay for today's bill so don’t fight me for it, Clay. Just treat it as me apologizing. If you ever need me in the future, you can private message me or give me a call, and I, David, will try to help everyone as long as it’s within my power.”After he finished speaking, David said to Celia again, “Celia, why don't
“He’s fine now, just a little weak. Someone must’ve beaten him up inside,” David said. “What do we do, then? David, you’ve got to think of a way! King Kong won’t hold on for much longer! It’s only been half a year now, and there are still fourteen and a half more years to go!” Colby said anxiously. “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to King Kong. I won’t allow it!” David patted Colby’s shoulder and reassured him.After this, David pulled out his phone and sent a message mentioning all the members in the SCC group chat.David (core): [All members around Shu City in South River Province report to Shu City immediately.] Soon, a few members replied. [Yes, Sir! ETA one hour!][Yes, Sir! ETA one and a half hours!][Yes, Sir! ETA two hours!]As an SCC core member, David was in a high enough position to be called “Sir”, and no one ignored his message. Even the boss of SCC, Clinton, who was rarely active in the group chat, replied. Clinton (boss): [David! Is
Cade, the cabinet minister of South River Province was in a meeting when his encrypted phone rang.He walked to the side and picked it up as people did not call his encrypted number unless it was an emergency.“Hello, this is Cade Nelson, cabinet minister of South River Province.”“Hello, Mr. Nelson! This is Team Vulture’s Lucas Brown.”“Hello, Captain Brown! How can I help you?” Cade asked courteously.When people from Team Vulture contacted him, it was usually because a foreign threat had appeared within his jurisdiction and his cooperation was required.“Hello, Mr. Nelson. Please proceed to Shu City and take further instructions from a man called David Lidell,” Lucas said.“Captain Brown, did a foreign threat appear in Shu City? What’s the level of threat?” Cade asked.He needed to know what level of threat this situation was to decide which people to send over.“None of that. Team Vulture member David Lidell got into conflict with Shu City’s local forces, among which is a
Three hours later, David received a call from Cade, the cabinet minister of South River Province.David did not waste time on small talk and directly told him what happened as well as the government official’s involvement in this, then told the man to deal with the problem appropriately.At the same time, David also informed the SCC members present in Shu City to try and oppress Shu City’s wealthiest businessman, Eden, and gang boss Milton with their own methods and suffocate the two of them financially.Shu City was just a small county, Eden and Milton just happened to have a few connections in Shu City. They could not even be considered aristocrats.Faced with the oppression from aristocratic families in large cities around Shu City, the two of them were defenseless and were fully crushed.Whether it was in terms of commercial or illicit businesses, these families were more than enough to completely destroy Eden and Milton.Around an hour later, luxury cars gathered at the rest
“Mr. Lidell, we’ve already sent your friend to the hospital. He’s rather weak and it’ll take him some time to recover completely. How should we deal with the rest?” Cade asked.“Mr. Nelson, I was hoping you would catch everyone involved in this. I do not want to see people of power using their authority to harm ordinary people.”“Yes, of course, Mr. Lidell! I’ll straighten out the whole of South River Province once I return! I promise this won’t happen again.”“Thank you, Mr. Nelson. Are you free right now? Perhaps we could talk over a meal?” David invited.David was not an impudent man, and Cade was indeed treating him with courtesy despite being a provincial minister and his elder.“I would love to!” Cade replied.As if he would reject the opportunity to get to know David better.Not when he came all the way here just to leave a good impression on David.“You first, Mr. Nelson!”“No, you, Mr. Lidell!”They then left together.Behind them, the SCC members watched as David a
David brought everyone to Frangipani Restaurant and booked the entire place while also paying the bill for his high school reunion meal.David, Celia, and Colby then sat with Cade and the other core officials in South River Province at another table.Meanwhile, the members of the SCC split to sit across three tables.As far as they were concerned, this trip to Shu City would have been worth it if they could just see David and leave an impression on him.Seeing Mr. Nelson was beyond their expectations.These officials were the most authoritative people in South River Province.As expected of the man whose mere text had garnered the replies of two SCC bosses and the courtesy of South River Province’s cabinet minister. They could only imagine how powerful David was.Not even all three SCC bosses could receive such treatment from Mr. Nelson, not when Cade was their elder.Honestly, not even their fathers, people of a status lower than the three SCC bosses, would treat an ordinary y
“Dave, you’re too polite. We hope you can help us in the future.”“Yeah, Mr. Lidell, you have such a big business. Don’t say you don’t know your poor classmates if we look for you in the future.”“Mr. Lidell, do you still need people to work for your company? Many of us were not admitted to college after graduating from high school and have yet to find suitable jobs.”“Don’t worry, guys. If you want to find a job, you can contact me in a few days. If you have any good projects that need my investment, you can also contact me. I, David Lidell, will not turn you down.”“If that’s the case, we would like to thank you, Mr. Lidell. Let's all give Mr. Lidell a toast!”“Alright, cheers!”Everyone stood up and said loudly together.David also drank from the glass in his hand.Although taking a little alcohol would not affect him at all, since he had to drive later, he still figured it would be better not to drink too much.He knew that he should not drink and drive, and if he did drin
The meal took them more than 2 hours.David asked the others to go back first because he could handle the rest himself.Thus, Cade also returned to River City.David then drove to the hospital to pick up King Kong.The conclusion of this matter depended on King Kong's decision.At the hospital, David located King Kong's ward.After an afternoon of treatment, King Kong had recovered a lot, but he still had many internal injuries and they all needed time to slowly heal.King Kong was still a little confused in his bed.When he was brought out, he thought he was going to be killed.However, in the end, he was taken to the hospital.He still had not figured out what was going on.He only realized that David must be the one who saved him when he saw David and the others coming in. Otherwise, he could not think of anyone else who would save him.“Dave, Rice Cake!” King Kong called out excitedly.“King Kong, how are you feeling?” David asked.“King Kong, You’re finally out! Haha
