Keith looked at the guards and waved his hand signaling them to stop bowing to him, he was doing this while trying to ignore the fact that Jared had a pistol ready to fire him. “You better have an explanation for why you are late, I have been waiting here and you were busy having a joy ride.”
Keith had a stern look on his face, he was not looking like a wimp anymore but he was looking like some kind of angry man that needed help with something.
“We are so sorry sir, we didn't get the address that Mr. Marx gave us. We apologize from our hearts, sir.” One of the guards said, trying to bow his head, Jared was looking at everything unfolding in front of him and it was like none of it was real.
Eleanor was still trying to put one and one together knowing there was no way on earth Keith would have the money to afford all this. “What in the world is going on? Keith is a nobody and he will never be able to have all this.” Eleanor was trying to understand what was going on, she saw that Keith was being respected like some boss.
“How dare you ignore me?! Do you know who my father is? I will make sure that you all are jailed but before that, I will make sure you fight for your wretched life.” Jared was about to pull the trigger, but the guards in front of Keith reacted quickly.
They kicked the gun off his hand before he was able to pull the trigger, Jared was not given enough time to think of the next move he was knocked down to the floor with a blinding move.
“How dare you try to shoot our master? You will be punished for this, and the only way to punish a lowlife like you is death!” The guard held Jared down trying to choke him, Eleanor couldn't do anything but cry for help but nobody seemed to be coming to help.
“That is enough, let him go,” Keith ordered, his voice was stern and calm, it was like he was trying his best not to let them hurt Jared.
“But sir, he tried to shoot you. How can we let such a vile human live? Someone who will try to shoot them,”
“I told you to let him go, do I need to repeat myself.” Keith sounded cold, and his demeanor changed. The guards released Jared without uttering a single word.
“See this as mercy, but know this if I ever cross paths with you again it might not be nice,” Keith said before turning away, he and the guards walked to the car and they rushed to open the door for him.
The car then zoomed off leaving Eleanor and Jared in dismay as they watched the car zoom off.
“Why did it take you so long to find where I was? Isn't this house known in this district or do you have an excuse why you didn't find me earlier?”
Keith was not happy that the car came late, he was not prepared to face Jared or his guards regardless.
“We are sorry sir, we found you late because we weren't familiar with that side of town.” The guard was trying to make sure that he didn't incur Keith's anger.
“Hmm, Marx better have some explaining to do. By the way, where is Marx? he was the one meant to pick me up.” Keith was still angry but he was trying not to show it.
“Sir Marx went to take care of something in the Northern district, he sent us because he trusted that the both of us would be able to take you to the Phoenix Spring Hotel without any problems.” The guard replied quickly.
Keith made himself comfortable on the seat, he didn't need anything that would strain him that much.
‘What a day,’ Keith thought to himself as the car kept increasing in speed.
Back at the Kendrick family mansion, Jared was being treated. “How dare he?! Why in the world would be try to do such a thing to me?” Jared was still infuriated, he knew there was no way he could have thought someone like Keith would lay a finger on him.
“Calm down Jared please, I know he doesn't know any better. He just hired some actors to make sure that he acted all big and tough.” Eleanor tried to console Jared, she knew he was planning to do something.
“I can't believe that brute would dare lay a finger on you. He doesn't know that he just put his hands into the fire.”Sandra scoffed as she helped apply lotion to Jared's wounds.
Jared was trying to keep his anger at bay but it was not working, he was not going to let Keith go free after he touched him.
“I will make sure that my father hears of this, Keith Norman will pay with his blood,” Jared swore in anger, and the entire room went silent.
‘I wonder what got into him, I know Keith as a simple man but I have never seen him act like a brute before.’ Eleanor was still trying to find out what happened in front of her earlier.
**
Keith and his men got to Phoenix Spring Hotel, it was a luxurious Hotel filled with people of greater class and higher ranks. A night there cost at least a million dollars, Keith looked around and scoffed.
“This is where all the city's filthiest and most important men come to dine, I wonder if I am going to be noticed.” Keith looked around, he was not interested in the hotel but he was trying to see what made it such a nice place.
“Lord Keith, we are going to finalize things with the receptionist, please stay close by so we can help you to your room.” The guard bowed his head, and Keith nodded.
The two guards entered the hotel to talk to the receptionist about the hotel room, Keith on the other hand stood there looking at the Hotel.
“I am not impressed, these people just come here to waste their money, is this really what Eleanor left me for? How pathetic,”
Keith was about to head inside the hotel when something caught his eye, he looked up to see there was a group of men trying to force a girl inside a black SUV.
“Now this is interesting, I wonder what is going on there?” Keith turned to that direction and began walking towards them.
He had a stern look on his face, he needed to know what was happening to the girl. Keith got closer to hear what they were saying, it was like she was being kidnapped.
“Get in the car! This is no longer a request but an order, the master wants you.” One of the men said as he tried to force the girl into the car, he was having a hard time doing so.
“Let go of me, I don't want to go anywhere with you and you can tell your master to go to hell.” The girl fought back, she was trying to break free, she looked at the man's hand and bit him.
“Why you vile bitch! I am gonna,”
“I think that is enough,” Keith slowly walked up to the struggle. Keith looked at the men trying to see if any of them had a lethal weapon.
“What in the world? What is this disgusting-looking shrimp doing here? I know I am not meant to laugh at people like this but this man looks like a freaking retard.”
The men all giggled a bit, Keith didn't even look at them like they were relevant. He stood in front of them like he was ready to fight them.
“I don't want to repeat myself, so let her go and I won't hurt you all.”
Keith didn't move a muscle, he stood there looking at the men. It was a stare-off, the men found Keith amusing. “Say shrimp, where are you from? Are you aware that we run this part of town? And we are just doing our job so why don't you just run along now before you get hurt.” The men broke out in laughter, they were mocking Keith’s appearance. They were mocking the way he popped out of nowhere to tell them to stop what they were doing like he was some kind of king.“I will leave, but I am leaving with this young lady.” Keith was serious when he said that, this made everyone present pause for a bit and look at him. “Please sir don't risk your life for me, they will not hesitate to kill you so please go.” The lady pleaded with Keith, but it was as if he was not going to be listening to her. “Don't worry, I will make sure that they don't lay a finger on you,” Keith smirked as he kept his eyes on the men watching them like a hawk. The men felt insulted, they didn't expect someone lik
Keith walked back to the Hotel Lobby, he was trying to act like nothing was going on when he knew everything was going wrong but he chose to act that way since he had taken care of the threat. ‘I honestly thought they would put up a fight, but they were all flukes and they called themselves guards. Pathetic,’ Keith was a bit disappointed, he had expected to fight people with extraordinary strength. But he didn't get anything like that, he only got to beat around some rather weak men. Keith got to the Hotel Lobby, he didn't catch any sign of his guards he decided to wait for them. “They probably went to look for me, I will just wait here.”Keith made himself comfortable by sitting down and waiting for his guards to come back. It was like everyone was muttering the moment he took a seat in the lobby.‘I know I am not dressing properly but must they make it look like a big deal?’ Keith tried to shrug off the fact the people there were looking at him like he had committed some kind of c
Keith was looking at the man Jared had brought to him, he observed every single detail about the man trying to know who he was and why it was him that Jared decided to call. “Sir, I told you to leave the premises before I decide to call security to remove you from the hotel.” The man was looking at Keith who didn't even want to care about what the man in front of him was saying. “Don't you hear him? He is the new general manager of this hotel and the one that will decide who will stay here or not.” Jared was looking at Keith waiting for him to do something like beg him or the man for forgiveness. But Keith was unfazed, he simply looked at the man like any other person and didn't say a thing. He just made himself a bit more comfortable than before. “I am not going anywhere and if any of you have a problem with that then I will suggest you take it elsewhere.” Keith was trying his best not to be bothered by anyone, it was as if he was even trying to avoid anything that would make him
“Mr. Jacquline, what are you doing here? I was not expecting to see you here.” The manager sounded like he was scared when he saw the man standing by the door.The man standing by the door was the owner of the Phoenix Spring Hotel and the city’s third richest man. He was not the best of people to hang around but it was known that he hardly came by his Hotel.“I know you might think that there is a problem here but I will assure you that everything is being taken care of and you will no need to worry about anything.” The manager was looking at Mr. Jacquline as he was looking at the way the guards were holding Keith like he was some kind of criminal.“Mr. Jacquline, your manager is one of a kind. There is no other person on this planet earth that would be able to handle such a problem without messing up and it would have the end of this establishment.”Jared butted in, he was trying to make the manager sound like a good guy to the hotel owner, he was only doing it to make sure that he w
“What in the world are you doing? Who do you think you are?!” Jared was filled with rage, he was not even trying to understand what was going on. The only thing on his mind was how he was going to make sure that he made Keith pay for trying to embarrassing him. “You think there is something you can do? You don't even know who I am! I will make sure that you will die of hunger when I am done with you.” Jared began walking to Keith, he was going to make sure that he got his message to him. Keith looked back at Jared, he didn't know what he was planning to do but he was not about to stand there and watch them do something. “You know that there is no way for you to get anything out of whatever it is you are doing but I will tell you one thing. You have overstayed your welcome here and you don't want to make me angry.” Keith was not smiling anymore, he was looking at Jared trying to make sure he made go up to his hotel room and not take it too far. “What do you think you are? I am on
There was silence in the room, Keith was pissed off and it was not looking like he was going to listen to anyone. “Sir? What do you mean?” the man kept shivering; he had heard Keith but he was not sure that there was going to be a chance for him to even talk to Keith again. “Are you deaf? I told you to get yourself out of here and make sure that you don't show your face around here again.” Keith was stern when he said those words, the ex-manager knew better than to make Keith angry than he was already. He stepped back and began to walk away, there was nothing he could do or say to even make him consider giving him his work back. “This is beyond an embarrassment; he has lost his job and there is no way he will even get it back even if he were to beg for it like that. I know that there is no way for him to get another job in this city.” “He has made himself a fool, I don't blame him too. There is no way I would have known that the lad over there played an important part in this ho
Keith and Jacqueline were walking together to the office. Keith was trying to hide the fact that he was filled with rage at the moment and it was not going to be nice if he was to explode. “I am sorry sir; I didn't know you would arrive here this early.” Jacqueline was still apologizing to Keith; he was not about to make sure that nothing would make Keith angry. “I am not mad at you Jacquline; I know you didn't know that I would be here at any time now so there is no way you would have thought that there would be a fight and it would cost you an employee.” Keith was a bit serious; he was not sure that there was any explanation for what he had faced earlier. “Marx was meant to be here; I don't know why he is not here and why he is absent.” Keith was still angry that he didn't meet his guards there nor did he see his closest ally, Marx. “Sir Marx would have been here but there were some unforeseen circumstances he needed to make sure that there would be nothing that would irritate
“I have checked everyone but the rat still keeps himself hidden, I don't know how he was able to keep himself hidden from us for long.” Marx sat down, he knew that there was no way he would be able to get things if he didn't find a way to get the culprit. “Strange, then it means that the person is amongst our ranks and he has been hiding from us. But how is possible that they would cause an accident that almost killed you three years ago.” Jacquline was not even clear on wh would think of trying to kill Keith. “Clearly whoever did it wanted to remove our master from his throne and they were trying to kill him to make sure their plan didnt fail.” Marx was looking at the table trying to make sense of the entire thing but it was still not clear to him how it happened under their watch. Keith dropped his glass on the table, he looked at the two men and he had something to say but he di not know how he was going to say it without causing a bit of confusion for them. “I know this is goi
