After hanging up the phone call with Lussy, Javier put away his cell phone back in his pocket.He originally had not thought highly of Lloyd, but he found the man rather intriguing after this incident.‘Given Lloyd’s capabilities, there are many ways he could do this that would be simple and violent. He could have looked for someone in court to pressure us or directly get involved in a stock exchange snipe battle. All of those methods would be violent and satisfying, but Lloyd didn’t use any of them.‘Instead, he chose the simplest and cheapest method. Have a random guy who died due to an alcohol overdose and have him brought to the bar’s main entrance. Then, he made a dirt-cheap phone call and had the bar closed for business.‘I must say…this little tactic of his is a pretty good one. Plus, its effects are surprisingly good. He’s definitely someone who’s done this before.‘Now that I’ve found someone so interesting to spar with, I’m not going to snipe him through the stock exchan
A million thoughts ran through Javier's mind about what he wanted to do to her, but he still stopped himself the moment his hands touched her.This was not because he was a coward but because he was not as thick-skinned as Soairse.In the past, Saoirse would yell to the top of her lungs when something like that happened, “Help, someone’s trying to ra—”Thus, Javier was truly in awe of Soairse and her tactics.Saoirse reached out her hand and gently rubbed his ear before returning to her seat.As she walked, she mumbled, “I’ve always had this d*mn temper of wanting to bully those who are cheeky and sly. I just can’t seem to want to bully the honest ones. I remember I had my eyes on you a long time ago when you were absolutely unruly back at the Kerseys. My goodness, the fun I had bullying you at the time! You couldn’t even do anything to fight back.”Javier raised his hands once more to surrender. “You win. You’re the best. I won’t ever do that again. I promise I’ll behave myself
Meanwhile, Saiorse did resign very decisively.When she left, she brought her female secretary along with her. Her reasoning, however, was very simple. “I need someone to take care of my personal belongings!”However, Javier still believed that Saiorse felt comfortable with this secretary.After leaving Skyward Group’s office, Saiorse drove her Maserati Quattroporte with Javier in the passenger’s seat and left.During their journey, she asked, “You’re a boss in your own rights since you’re able to fork out $300,000,000 so easily, so why would you still have to hitch a ride? Are you not worried that you might end up embarrassing yourself in this prosperous city of Medb?”Javier chuckled and said, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? I prefer to have more depth. Those with depth will naturally be able to garner respect. On the contrary, those without depth would have to rely on these to make themselves look better!”Saiorse asked, “For example…Me?”Javier asked in return, “Do yo
Javier had to tip his hat to Saiorse. The person that she called a famous scriptwriter was…a lunatic?When he raised the question, Saiorse shook her head in response. "No, I've already told you. He's just experiencing life. He has written many famous books before."Saiorse then proceeded to give a few examples. She even took out her phone and searched through the online Encyclopaedia for his information to show Javier.Javier glanced through it and thought, 'Heavens! This fellow is amazing!'If this was back in ancient times, this man would definitely have made it as one of the literature world's big names. It was really rare to see someone willing to experience life like this. He was probably one of the rare few who would actually go to such extents in the entire world.When Saiorse added that this person had spent four to five years of his life in a mental hospital to gain experience, Javier could not help but exclaim, "Do you think he could have become mentally ill from this?"
Old Man Ackerman's sanity did not last for very long. In fact, every time he regained it, the duration would be shorter and shorter. This time, it lasted less than ten minutes. The doctor said that there was no way to treat it with regards to this. His situation could not be treated with external help or treatment. It was solely caused by Old Man Ackerman's mental block that he had inflicted upon himself. He could not bear the pain of his family’s passing, so his brain had built up a safe space within itself out of extreme self-protection—a fictional world of sorts. In that fictional world, Old Man Ackerman was the Watermelon Tree God. He could never feel any pain, and he would always be happy. The doctor said, "From our point of view, indeed, he looks pitiful. But from his point of view, he has achieved happiness. At least, he doesn't have to suffer the sorrow of his family dying anymore." Before leaving the hospital, Javier paid a substantial amount in medical fees to ensure th
Looking at Javier's familiar yet unfamiliar face, Saiorse felt a little confused. What was familiar was his appearance. Saiorse, who was only eight years older than him, had watched him grow up. He had always been a handsome one. What she was unfamiliar with was Javier's demeanor. He was no longer the little kid that she had bullied back then. Additionally, she realized that Javier's brash words earlier were not a joke. He really yearned to be in a romantic relationship with her. This flustered Saiorse. She could not help thinking that her previous actions were akin to playing with fire. Now, it was finally burning her. However, this burning sensation made her feel very confused. She did not know how to react. When it came to other men, the most she could do was admire them. Only when she was in front of Javier would she feel as though she was family. But now, he was acting this way toward her. He had even brazenly told her that he wanted to be with her! "I-I need to go to the
Lloyd's girlfriend, Carmen Benson, owned a bar that served mainly university students. Her bar could not compare to the one Javier had bought. The place did not even have a resident singer. It was more suitable to call it a leisure pub. But tonight, after dinner, the police came to seal away the pub and even hauled Carmen away. This was because there was evidence that a customer had been served fake alcohol there. The effect of the alcohol was too strong and had caused the customer's cerebrovascular vessels to explode. The customer had died in the end. Lloyd knew about this. He also knew that Carmen had not deliberately sold fake alcohol. She had been scammed. Thus he had instructed his men to quietly move the fake alcohol to Javier's bar. He anticipated there would be a few deaths over the next few days. His calculated move was perfectly executed by his men. However, Lloyd never imagined that Javier would have the fake alcohol delivered back to Carmen's pub that very night. Th
Saiorse had just returned upstairs when she saw Javier sitting by her door. She was surprised. "Why are you here?" Javier replied pitifully, “I’m poor. I can't afford to stay in a hotel. Aunt, please let me stay here tonight.” Saiorse wanted to kick Javier. He was someone who could throw around 316 million just like that, and he was now trying to cry about being poor in front of her. "Are you kidding me? Even if the hotel is on Mars, I’m pretty sure you can afford to stay there! Don't come crying to me about being poor. If you were poor, I'd already be dead from being even poorer!" Javier snickered as he stood up. As he dusted off his behind, he said, "Well, that's just an excuse. Most importantly, I've given this some serious thought. Since I've come to Medb, it would be disrespectful if I don't stay at my aunt's place. You treat me so well, so I've definitely got to give you the due respect that you deserve. "Aunt, you don't have to act so touched. We're family. It's only
