A Man Already At The Top Chapter 8
Simon Mayfair shamefully called his father in the presence of everyone then scurried away once Venice confirmed the payment. Now that they couldn’t upload the videos or publish any articles about what happened, the people around naturally turned their attention to the person he had been on a date with. Mia Miller lowered her face to the floor and covered her face with her palms as she rushed out of their presence, but the crowd went in pursuit of her. Now, the only people left behind were Venice and Leon. Because it was only natural for the owner of a hotel to defend its name, Leon didn’t think too much about why she helped him, but he did plan to thank her for doing so before leaving. However, she suddenly ran to his front and went down on her knees in front of him. “Mr. Bartlett, it’s an honor to meet you!” He halted and glanced around to make sure there was no one around. Thankfully, there was a car behind him which shielded them from the sight of anyone coming behind them.

“What? Did you say something?” Aria was a little startled by him suddenly raising his head that she didn't pay attention to what he said. The man froze for a moment, realizing he almost blew his cover. After being silent for some seconds, he smiled innocently and asked cluelessly, “Have one of what?”Aria ruffled his hair again and laughed faintly knowing his simple mind would never understand no matter how she explained it. But after a brief thinking, she came up with a way to break it down to his understanding and parted her lips to reply when a familiar shrill voice came up from behind her.“What do you think you’re doing? Your date is just an hour away, and you’re still here wasting time with this foolish husband of yours?”“I still have a whole hour, mother..” Aria pressed her lips together and retorted, the smile leaving her eyes.“Your grandmother said to dress and doll yourself up when you go to your dates. If you pet his hair even for a minute more, when do you intend to d

A pompous-looking scion in a red tuxedo with undone buttons and vibrant, brown spiky hair walked into the lobby of Rosewater Guesthouse dragging a half-conscious woman with him.Although Aria Miller’s head was fuzzy and there was no strength in her arms, she knew she had to fight this person who drugged her during her date with him. So she mustard up every ounce of strength she has and slapped him across the face.Naturally, he instantly released his grip on her to massage his stinging cheek, and she took the opportunity to race towards the door they had just walked through.However, the man turned around the next second and yanked her backward by her hair. She screamed at the top of her lungs, attracting the attention of the few customers and the staff in the lobby.One of the young men in the lobby saw this and was about to rush towards her, but was held back by his friend.“Don’t do it. That’s Kevin Larol.”“Kevin Larol?”“Mhm, the Larol family owns this guesthouse. They are influ

Leon left the hotel immediately in Aria’s car. He sped all the way to Rosewater Gueshouse without stopping. Along the way, his driving speed caught the attention of patrol officers who immediately went in pursuit of him.However, he lost them before he got to the guesthouse.“You can’t just tell us to leave in the middle of the night without telling us your reason!” “It’s too late to look for another guesthouse to spend the night in. If you were going to do this, you should’ve told me three hours ago!” “Do you think i care about being refunded in full? Every guesthouse and hotel around this area are all fully booked. I have nowhere to stay for the night besides here!” “Hey, where are you going? Don’t ignore me!”As he walked into the building, he noticed there was a clamoring crowd in the guesthouse's lobby, but he paid no attention to them and just walked towards an elevator.However, before he could get in, someone grabbed him by the arm and roughly shoved him back."If you have

A four-versus-one fight usually ends with the lone party getting beaten to a pulp. Furthermore, Leon was lanky and looked weak. Hence, the four bulky men were quite confident they would beat him up.They cracked their fingers, flexed their muscles again, and then acted on the manager’s words by rushing towards Leon simultaneously.The customers watching from behind chairs and tables in the lobby immediately whipped out their phones in excitement to record what was going on, while a few others shook their heads in pity."Who's that retard? Is he eager to die?""Who cares? This is good entertainment. I've been lacking something to post on my social media page these past few days. This will definitely get lots of views!""Still, it's such a gruesome sight to watch. That young man is about to get beaten to death. He looks so young.""That is none of our business. If he wanted to live longer, then he shouldn't have provoked people stronger than him in the first place.""Stop talking and le

Kevin Larol gritted his teeth in pain and annoyance as he felt his broken nose. “I was just going to break a few of your bones, but now it looks like I’m going to have to kill you!”Leon moved closer to him and slammed his foot hard into his abdomen, causing him to vomit blood.He rolled over on his side, continuing to spit up blood. Leon stomped on him numerous times until he was lying on his back again, then pressed his foot against Kevin’s chest.Kevin clenched his jaw tightly and glared angrily at Leon. “I’m going to kill you once this is over, you crazy bastard!”Leon tilted his head to the side and chuckled calmly. “Do you know why I’m not bending over to beat you up? It’s because you’re trash. You’re not even worthy of a duel.”“Stomping you to death is another option, but you don’t even deserve to be stomped to death by me.”“But getting stomped to death will be too easy. A trash’s life is too worthless to be taken by me. So that leaves me with no choice but to condescend so l

The following day was weekend which meant there was no going to work for Aria. She opened her eyes around 4pm and found no one in her room. She remained down on her bed for several seconds before ahe sat up and glanced around her room in confusion.The last thing she remembered was being at a date with Kevin Larol. Why was the rest of her memory of the evening missing? Why didn’t she remember when she got back? She lowered her eyes to the bed and shut her eyes, trying to recall what really happened, but flinched and opened her eyes again when someone opened rhe door and banged it against the wall. She raised her eyes to see Dean standing at the door with his eyes lowered onto his phone. After five seconds, he glanced up at her, doing nothing to hide the anger in them. “Grandmother called a family meeting. We’re all to be in the family house in the next twenty minutes.” He huffed and turned around to leave, but stopped and glared at her. “Seriously, If you were drunk why did you h

Aria froze for a moment. She parted her lips to say something, but slowly closed it again. She repeated this action for two more times before Ryan sniggered.“Do you know what the time is? Grandmother may have other things to say to us, and even if she doesn’t, she needs to go to sleep early every night. Hurry up and answer the question!” “Are you being silent because you have nothing to tell us? Have you even be going to any of those dates or did you let grandmother’s good intention go to waste?” Mia butted in with a scoff. “Aria has been diligently doing as grandmother asked her to by going to the dates arranged for her. Don’t you dare accuse her of being disobedient!” Dean glared hostilely at them. Ryan leisurely leaned back on his seat, the corners of his lips curling up into a smug smile. “Is that so? Then why is she so quiet? Mia didn’t hesitate to tell everyone how her dates were going.” “Only a guilty person will remain quiet when they are asked to report and they don’t ha

“Yeah, it’s Aria.” Ryan’s eyes darkened as he said dispiritedly. “Aria, hurry up here. These gentlemen have better things to do than to stay here.” Joseph urged her, forcing on a wide smile. Aria gripped the hand of her bag tighter and swallowed hard when her eyes met the furious look in Stella’s eyes. Nevertheless, she lowered her eyes to the floor and strutted towards the men. “Miss Aria Miller?” The second man repeated, raising his brows questioningly as she got close to him. She nodded, “Yes, I am.” As soon as the words rolled off her tongue, the one with the invite reached into the pocket of his suit jacket for it. He handed it over to her with a gentle look on his face. “Ms. Miller, you’ve been invited to Carolyn Jensen’s fundraiser which is being held tonight.” “The venue and time is written in the visitation. Ms. Jensen looks forward to seeing you tonight. Have a nice day.” Then they left immediately. As soon as they walked out of the door, Joseph snatc

Aria hurriedly closed her eyes to shield the water from getting in. Then, she wiped it off with her palm and slowly opened her eyes to gaze blankly at Ryan.The corners of his lips hooked up into a mocking smile as he dropped his hand and snorted, “What is that scary look for? Is this your way of thanking those who do good deed for you?” Some staffs who were lurking behind him chipped in with a huff, “She can’t even thank you for giving her water.” “How ungrateful. If I were Ryan, I wouldn’t give her anything ever again.” “Look how hard she’s glaring at him after what he went through to bring her that water.” When she kept looking at him without saying a word, he scoffed in contempt, “You still won’t thank you? I just saved you from dying from thirst and you repay me by glaring hard at me?” “Honestly, if I knew you’d be like this, I would’ve saved myself the time and energy of bringing you this water.” “No one even remembered you were standing outside except me. Yet, this is how

“Mr. Bartlett, this is not somewhere I can be. Keegan Gyst isn’t someone that I can just cross into his territory.” “He may not be around now, but when he returns and finds out I crossed into his territory, he won’t take it lightly with…” Rex Mercer was saying, fear laced into his voice as he walked into the basement with his boys, but instantly fell silent when he saw the sight in front of him. He didn’t know which was more shocking; the sight of Keegan’s men heaped onto each other as they groaned in pain or the sight of Keegan himself lying helplessly under Leon’s foot. The shock in his eyes disappeared after a few seconds and he rushed towards Leon unable to hide his excitement. He stood above Keegan, his eyes wide open in disbelief. “Y-you defeated him! You defeated him!” “Do you know anyone called Carolyn Jensen?” Leon blankly asked without turning to look at him. Rex Mercer’s happiness dwindled a little and his brows knitted into a small frown. He was silent for a moment b

Keegan Gyst’s brows perked up slightly when he saw Calvin Heinz. But he only stared at him for a second before he threw his face to the side again.Calvin was bulkier and more muscular than Leon, but there were several of Keegan’s men with the exact same built. “It would take more than one backup to save you from dying today.” Leon stood behind Calvin and slipped a hand out of his pocket to look at the time on his wrist. Then he probed Calvin stoically, “Hurry up, I don’t have all day.” Calvin nodded and began advancing towards the thugs. Robert Weathers saw this and cackled loudly. “Don’t let those muscles in your arms fool you into thinking you can get out of this room alive.” “Instead of running towards the cause of your death, shouldnt you be running out of here? Seems you’re all muscles but no brains.” Calvin’s eyes shifted to him. The coldness in them made Robert flinch in fear and subconsciously huddle closer to Keegan. Calvin snatched the axe from the first thug he got

Robert Weathers sneered and turned on the light switch. The basement illuminated instantly, revealing the dozens of thugs wielding daggers and axes in the room. Leon’s eyes landed on the bulky man sitting in their midst. He had a gruesome knife scar which slanted from his left eyes down to the right side of his lips. Had he whoever gave him the scar slanted his hand a little further and they would’ve damaged his eyes and cut off a side of his lips. “I’ve worked for Mr. Gyst for over 10 years now and I’ve encountered worse scenarios that threatened to end my life, but I never gave up.” “Did you really think a retard like you was capable of making me turn against the man I revere with everything in me?”Leon listened to him with an indifferent look on his face as his eyes roamed the basement. Keegan Gyst stared at Leon intently before he scoffed in disbelief. “So this is the man who beat those bulky men I sent out with you earlier? I expected someone taller and muscular.” “But g

Leon still didn’t respond. The silence was killing Robert. Every second that went by, the more the back of his shirt got soaked sweat. He peeled his eyes open and swallowed dryly when he saw the blank, unimpressed look on Leon’s face. He couldn’t take it any longer and cried out, “I’ll do anything you want me to. Anything. Just name it!” Leon’s expression finally cracked into a small smile. “Go meet my father-in-law. He’s the one who cares about stuffs like this.” Robert nodded without hesitation before the thugs dragged him to Anthony. Anthony would’ve jumped in fright seeing the thugs and Robert walking towards him had Leon not been with them. As soon as he got to him, Robert pointed at the woman, who was still sprawled on the ground sobbing quietly. “I will return this woman’s child to her and also lead you to Keegan’s next big transaction. I will also tell you whenever he’s about to take another kid. I’ll help you put him out of business.” Anthony stared at him with a susp

Robert Weathers scoffed seeing Leon maintain his confident stance. He looked away and slipped out his phone from his pocket, opened the camera app and started video recording. “I’ll record you being beaten up so I can watch it when you’re long dead to remind myself someone as stupid as you lived before.” Leon ignores him and slipped his hands into his pockets, sizing up the dozen thugs running towards him with his eyes. They all had their daggers and axes raised high up in the air. Their movements were erratic and uncoordinated. No doubt, these were just average people who were recruited by Keegan Gyst and given weapons. The first thug to get close to Leon charged at with a wild overhead swing of his axe. Leon stepped to the side at that very moment, just in time to save his arm from being hacked off.As the thug stumbled past him, Leon grabbed the his wrist, twisted it, and disarmed him in a single fluid motion. “Arghh!” Before the others could react to their colleague’s pain

Anthony was speechless and had no idea what to do. This was the first time he was facing something like this. He had been doing this work for the past 25 years and none of the men he rescued children from ever found him. He reasoned since they hadn’t found him for the past 25 years, they would never be able to. So now that it finally happened, he had no plan in mind. He clenched his jaw tightly and glared hard at the restaurant owner, “You can’t do that! Don’t you see the weapons they’re wielding? If you send us out there, there’s no telling what will happen to us!” “To say the least, you and everyone in this restaurant will become an accessory to murder. That’ll be bad for your business, so you should hurry up and call the police!” The restaurant glared back at him and retorted, “You offended Keegan Gyst, he may not be the most dangerous person in Wentworth, but he’s someone you do not want to cross and neither do I.” “Furthermore, he has people in the police. If he finds out I

Thanks to the tempered glass, Robert Weathers could see the people inside the restaurant. His eyes flickered across the place for a moment before he turned to the van again and dragged out a severely bartered woman. Her eyes and cheeks were swollen and her lips were bled from all sides. The state of her face almost made it impossible for Anthony and Leon to recognize her. After a few seconds, Leon recognized her to be the mother of the boy they had rescued from Robert and taken back to the rescue home. .His eyes dimmed slightly and he pointed it out to Anthony, “Father-in-law, it’s the woman from the rescue home.” When Anthony recognized her, he panicked and shot out of his seat. He was about to stroll towards the door of the restaurant when he saw a dozen thugs holding axes and daggers climb out of the van to stand behind Robert. Robert pulled the woman by the hair and barked something into her face. Unfortunately, they were outside and far from Leon and Anthony. Hence, they
