Of course, Javier was only messing with Luca. There was no way he would be serious with him over something so trivial.Speeding away, they finally arrived at Easton Group’s headquarters.Luca was mumbling away downstairs as though he wanted to say something. Javier was able to see through all of his thoughts with a single glance. “Since it’s not going to be convenient for you to talk to your father, forget it. All you have to do is convey a message to me. It doesn’t matter whether he decides to meet me or not. The Panganis’ future solely depends on your family’s capabilities, nothing else.”Luca did indeed want Javier to meet his father since the latter had instructed over and over again that he wanted to meet Javier should the opportunity arise.However, now that Javier had said this, Luca could not muster up the courage to say anything further.Javier said, “This is a good thing. Otherwise, how are you going to be able to communicate with me if your old man treats me politely?
Luca could more or less guess that Javier was suspicious of Thorin’s intentions that night, but Luca begged to differ.“I’m sure Thorin isn’t that kind of person, Javier.”Javier smiled and did not want to argue with Luca. ‘There’s no point arguing with a fool unless I lower my standards to meet his. Instead, I’m going to make him understand what growth means through facts.’The bar Thorin had brought them to was a spacious one, enough to fit thousands of people.The place was indeed packed with people, and the atmosphere was very lively.This was a place where handsome men and beautiful women would gather. As long as they were interested in one another, all that was left was a few drinks, and they would be off. Usually, it would be one cheer for freedom, two cheers to salute death, or one cheer for the time they were spending together that night, two cheers to head off to bed.After that, it would be a series of events that would be rather obvious to imagine…The next day, wh
Thorin’s sudden performance managed to catch Harold’s attention. As such, Harold began to become slightly interested in Javier. More accurately, he was interested in seeing how Thorin would drive Javier down to the ground like he was nothing.Thus, he asked Thorin, “Hey, Thorin. What’s the country bumpkin done to get you all excited?”“It’s nothing much, actually. But this country bumpkin here has a pretty girlfriend, and believe me, she’s f*cking perfect! She’s beautiful, has good curves, and has this unique temperament that really pulls on your heartstrings whenever you see her. You have no idea how many times I had to look for women to vent my frustration because of her, Harold!“Let me put it this way, I still feel this huge urge inside of me whenever I think of her, and I want to have my way with her!”Harold became interested in Thorin’s introduction and looked at Javier curiously. “Hey, country bumpkin. Do you have any photos of that beautiful woman Thorin just mentioned?
After one retaliation after the other, Harold felt he was being severely humiliated, especially when it was in front of so many people.“I’m going to teach you a lesson so hard that you’ll realize just how weak and small you are in Medb!”Javier merely flicked the ash off of his cigarette in the face of a furious Harold. “I really have no idea how weak and small I am, but I do know how weak and small your mother was.”Harold was slightly stunned but instantly blew his top when he understood what Javier meant.He then waved his large hand, and the men inside the private room all rushed over and surrounded Javier in the middle.This was especially true for Thorin, who even held up a red wine bottle. ‘I’ve been waiting for this day to come for a very long time!’Javier looked at the people who were surrounding him with a smile. He genuinely could not be bothered to even criticize them for how they failed to realize just who they were dealing with.Javier had been following Mackenzi
Stone could not be bothered to explain what he had just done to cause Thorin’s confusion.Instead, he directly said to Harold, “Remember to clear up all of the debt you claimed you were going to settle before you get the f*ck out of here. You declared that all of the expenses here tonight would be on you, so go get it settled at the counter. If you don’t, I’ll make sure you have it settled at your house!”Stone was a member of the circle, so of course, he did not mean it when he said he would head up to Harold’s doorstep to settle his bill.Thus, as much as Harold was unhappy about his situation and how confused he was, he could only suppress the anger he felt and walk out of the room under the public’s gaze. Most importantly, he still had to pay off the expenses of everyone there that night, to which most of them had a hand in laughing at him.There was someone who was even shameless enough to head up to the counter!“Hey Harold, I’ll do you a favor. Get me ten bottles of Remy Ma
Countless people cheered and shouted Luca’s name in the bar. They were several times louder and stronger than the cheers for Harold earlier.Luca felt like he was energized upon hearing the cheers for his name. The tidal strength came from just one sentence by Javier. It felt addictive, and the gratitude was never before felt.Not only had Javier not held grudges against his recklessness back then, but he had also helped him up to such a high position from being a prodigal son.Luca gnashed his teeth as he made a silent resolution, determined to manage this shop properly and not let Javier’s trust in him down.A girl was hanging her head and looking disinterested among the partying crowd. It was Gigi. Her friends had come out for some fun with her tonight since they had noticed she was moody the past few days. It was unexpected that Gigi had spotted Javier, who was in the booth on the second floor during the night.She had been delighted, thinking she could go to Javier tonight an
Harold panicked. He felt fear overwhelm him. He knew that Javier was going to cripple him and he was not joking about it!Just as he was about to wail and beg, however, another voice spoke up, “Isn’t this going a little too far?”Lloyd Young was disgruntled. He had been ecstatic over the small progress he had made in a business deal he had negotiated tonight but when he was passing by the junction just now, his car got hit by a Bentley Bentayga. What was more infuriating was that there was no one driving the Bentayga.His chauffeur went down to check and said the front window on the left side was crushed while their Rolls-Royce Phantom had a dent at the front and the side airbag had deployed. When the chauffeur was getting out of the car, he had to use the passenger side too.It was ridiculous. They got hit by a car that was without a driver during the nighttime.His chauffeur later reported to him that two people were fighting up ahead. More precisely, someone was being beaten up
Javier did not even care that he had encountered Lloyd. He just thought that the guy was…all right, not as brainless as the other guys he had met previously. As for treating him like a serious opponent, Lloyd was far from it. It was not only that Javier was disdainful, he did not have such leisure time either.He was still occupied with finding news about his parents and he had to find a chance to find out about the Osborn Award from people in the show business. While he contemplated, he received a text. [I’m back. Luca said you came. Are you asleep?]Just when Javier wanted to get someone in the show business to answer his questions, Edelgard texted him. What a coincidence. Javier sent a “not yet” reply and the next moment, his phone rang. Edelgard was calling. Both of them chatted for a bit on the phone before Edelgard invited Javier for supper. “I just got off my flight and haven’t eaten anything. Let’s eat together!”Javier readily agreed as there was no way he would reject her
