Chapter 221 Focus On Your Studies, Little Boy

Channing was truly dumbfounded at this point. He had seen people gambling with money before, but he had never seen such a gamble! He had just been offered to play the simplest game, one match that would decide whether he’d take away around 600,000 dollars or lose 150,000 dollars. This was a very harsh game, but a very exciting one at the same time!Channing’s friends had now been attracted to Javier’s table, their eyes instantly filled with envy when they saw the stacks of cash inside the luggage. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were bound by the law, Channing’s friends would most likely have robbed Sam on the spot. Unable to contain their envy, some of Channing’s friends began egging him on. “Go on, play with him! It’s 600,000 versus 150,000 dollars. It’s a small risk for a huge return!”The others gradually began to coerce Channing into gambling with Javier with his 150,000 dollars as well. In fact, Channing wanted to gamble for the stacks of cash in front of him out

Chapter 222 A Surprising Coincidence

Neither Javier nor Jade had taken Channing’s fiasco seriously.In fact, a matter so trivial was not even worth becoming a conversation topic.Instead, what they were talking about was on a much higher level. During their journey back, they kept having a heated debate about which position was better. In the end, neither of them wanted to give in to the other’s suggestion, so they decided to try it out when they returned home to see which one was better. While their conversation had reached a certain climax, Javier suddenly noticed a mother and her son walking on the street, looking very dejected. Although Javier had been driving fast and he merely took a single glance, he immediately stopped the car and reversed when he confirmed that there were no cars behind him. Finding Javier’s sudden reverse move strange, she asked, “What’s the matter?”Javier replied, “I think I just saw someone I know.”Indeed, what he had thought soon came to pass. When Javier reversed all the way to t

Chapter 223 Marjorie's Gratitude

Javier had no intention of killing the pitiful Marjorie and Sigmund. After all, the two of them were idiots and puppets that blindly followed orders. They had not committed a big sin. Not to mention that the old fox hadn't made the call to kill them, so Javier wasn't in a position to do so either. It was obvious from the old fox's decision that the two of them didn't deserve to die, so of course, Javier wouldn't kill them unnecessarily. However, he couldn't leave just like that. Javier looked at the young Sigmund and raised his hand. Sigmund thought that Javier was going to whack his head again and quickly closed his eyes. However, a moment later, he felt a gentle caress on his head. Nothing else. "Since you used to follow me around and call me brother when you were young, I'll take care of you two from now on." Javier's words made Marjorie feel overjoyed. Tears of joy flowed down her cheeks. Marjorie knew Javier well. She knew he was a man of his word and would never s

Chapter 224 Gutsy

Thus, Javier sent Marjorie and Sigmund to Xerxes Village. Xerxes Village was no longer a poor and dilapidated place. After all, Javier had invested so much money into the place. Now, all the roads leading out of the mountain had been opened up. Additionally, due to the incident with Edelgard Weiss, many people had started paying attention to this place. The city council was also paying special attention to it. With so much care and attention given to the place, it was safe to say that Xerxes Village had undergone a tremendous change. At the very least, a car could drive straight to the innermost part of the village unscathed. After entrusting Marjorie and Sigmund to the village chief, Thomas Bloom, Javier stayed there for half a day to check out the recent changes in the village. The situation in the village had gotten much better. Although it had only been a few months, the changes in the village were especially apparent. Other than the successful renovation of the dangerous h

Chapter 225 Roy’s Here

A month had passed swiftly since Javier had last spent time with Dana. It was nearly the end of the year now, so it was busy everywhere. People were either preparing for the holidays or spring cleaning, but work continued for office workers. After all, there were still a few days left until the holidays.As an office worker, Javier began getting busy too despite being a boss. He did not need to prepare things for the holidays but he needed to prepare the annual bonus for his company employees.After leaving the office, he drove to the bank. The floor manager, who was dressed decently, welcomed him with a smile.“Hello, sir. What kind of service do you need?”“I’d like a haircut.” Javier flirted upon seeing that the floor manager was quite pretty.The floor manager, whose name was Sally Kearn, froze and asked awkwardly, “Sir, can you repeat yourself? I’m afraid I didn’t catch that.”Javier replied, “Didn’t you ask what I need? I need a haircut. It’s going to be a new year, so I ne

Chapter 226 That’s How Insolent He Is

”Robbery! I’m robbing the bank!”As Roy entered the bank, he had a cigarette between his lips and he behaved boisterously in the bank lobby, as though he was in a club.Everyone in the bank was watching him while an old lady who was collecting her pension assumed what he had said to be real and fled in fear.As the floor manager, Sally naturally could not allow this to happen and hurried forward to greet him. “Sir, please watch your words. What you said just now could disrupt the regular peace and order of this bank.”Roy pushed the sunglasses he was wearing down and pushed his face closer to peer up at Sally.“Pretty miss, stop it. I don’t have a gun or a knife. Would you just believe what I say? Okay, I’m stealing your bra then. Take it off for me and let me smell it, okay?”The man was both unreasonable and crude, which both humiliated and exasperated Sally.“Sir, please watch your words. I’ll have to call the police if you continue acting like this. We have surveillance came

Chapter 227 Don’t Know Your Place

Standing up, Sally wiped her wronged tears and fought with reasonable arguments with the vice president.“Why should I apologize to him? What did I do that’s against my employment rules? Point it out and I’ll accept it!“And on what grounds are you accusing me of instigating the public? I haven’t said a word to everyone else all this time, and the surveillance footage can prove it. What evidence do you have to claim that and threaten me with my job?“I know you’re scared that a big client like Roy Benning will run off. Aren’t you? I wasn’t even hoping that a superior like you would seek justice on my behalf. I just wished you’d pull him aside and feel free to curry favor with him however you want.“But what right do you have to ask me to apologize to him and say that I was wrong? Was I wrong?!“If you insist on doing this, I’ll bring this up to the president. If that doesn’t work, I’ll take it to the branch. If that fails, I’ll report it to headquarters. I refuse to believe that t

Chapter 228 A Large-Scale ATM Malfunction

The vice president suddenly remembered to call security over, which had completely slipped his mind when Sally had kicked him out a moment ago. Both security guards hurriedly rushed over with batons in their hands. However, they seemed to be out of breath after running. Both of them were probably more than 50 years old and were tasked only with guarding the main entrance and directing cars to parking lots, so anything else would be a chore for them.By the time they arrived, Javier slowly and calmly took out his bank card. “Are you really going to apprehend a major client of yours? Do you not show any concern for your bank’s major clients? Are you guys not afraid I might just cease all cooperation with your bank if you offend me?”The vice president was slightly stunned. He had not realized that Javier was actually a major client. ‘Now that I think about it, he did seem to leave the room reserved for major clients.‘But we consider someone to be a major client if they have a f

Chapter 229 An Unresolvable Issue Between Two Sworn Enemies

Javier was very familiar with the procedures the bank used to treat any staff members who made mistakes. They might not reward those who made contributions to the company all the time, but they would most definitely punish those who did something wrong.This was not limited to just the bank’s system, but all other units. Thus, the moment the vice president heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.The reason he had been afraid of offending Roy previously was exactly because he was afraid the higher-ups would end up penalizing him if something were to go wrong. In the end, he’d ended up offending an even bigger client, who caused him to suffer from so much fear that he almost felt his insides burn to cinders.“Sir…Sir, let’s not do this, please. You’ll get me in a lot of trouble.”Javier asked with a serious expression, “What’s it got to do with me, though?”Javier then chuckled and walked back to Sally’s side. He picked up the cup of warm coffee once again. “Are yo

Chapter 230 Such Unruliness

The president had originally thought he could get away with offending neither Roy nor Javier and put an end to that entire situation. After all, if both parties could remain peaceful, he would reap the greatest benefits, which would be splendid. The worst-case scenario for him would be having to remove Javier from the equation rather than offend Millenia Supermarket.However, the president had never expected that Javier would suddenly say that he was going to put 300 million dollars in the bank as a fixed-term fund.Although it was not a fixed deposit, the president would still be able to enjoy a large increase in his sales target if he received these funds.At that moment, Roy said, “Do you think I’m incapable of bluffing? I’ll put 1.5 billion dollars in your bank then! After all, neither of us will be able to fork out the money!”The vice president took Roy’s side. “Exactly! I have the guts to declare such a thing as well in that case! I’ll put in 12 billion dollars!”Javier
