Chapter 131 The receptionist hesitated and responded after a while. “Sir, it's a birthday celebration and the celebrant had paid to use this hall and some other rooms.” She said while Michael was looking around. The receptionist then drew Michael's attention back as she asked, “Can we proceed with yours instead?” Michael nodded but wasn't happy at what he was seeing. “Sure. I want to book a room, any vacant one?” His attention was then focused on the receptionist. “Of course, sir. There are few rooms available but they are quite expensive.” “Why is it so?” Michael asked. He had thought that the infamous rich man who was celebrating his birthday would have booked and lodged in the expensive rooms alongside his gang members. “I think that's because it's expensive like I said. And no one has been able to pay for it.” The receptionist said and glanced down at the computer, going through the list of rooms that were available at the moment. Suddenly, she raised her and said,
Chapter 132 Immediately, Michael's voice echoed out; all eyes narrowed at him in surprise. And the lady quickly and smartly yanked herself from the fierce bodyguards and ran to the back of Michael, holding his waist. “Please, save me, Michael. Save me! They are hurting me. Don't let them continue.” Lucy cried out, her eyes full with tears and her voice drawing emotion. Even though Lucy knew that Michael wasn't powerful enough to save her from this infamous man, she had no other option but to run to him. Perhaps he might do something that she doesn't even know how. Michael turned and looked at Lucy, perplexed. “What are you doing here…” Before he could even finish his statement, Don Scott had already shouted at his bodyguards. “Get that fool out of the way and bring her to me!” Don Scott yelled and yelled at his bodyguards who nodded firmly and began to approach where Michael was with fierce faces while he sat down to watch. “Michael, please, don't let them take me. Pleas
Chapter 133 Galp! The gang member and the bodyguard, including Don Scott, were shocked. The two of them vigorously shook their heads. How could they slap their Boss whom they respect and fear so much? By the side of Michael, Lucy, who was now convinced that Michael had some kind of hidden power that she wouldn't bother to know about now, yelled. “Do it! Slap him now!” There was contempt in her voice towards Don Scott. Her words alone vividly showed how she hated that notorious man. Michael joined in, furious. “I said slap him now if you don't want to see the other side of me!” Hearing that, Don Scott's legs jiggled more than the previous. He knew that it would be better and safer for him to receive the slaps than to allow Michael to deal with him in his way. Thus, he shouted at his bodyguard and gang member, “What's still stopping you? Slap me now!” He slapped them. Out of annoyance, both the bodyguard and the gang member in unison landed tight and resounding slaps
Chapter 134 Back inside, after walking for twenty minutes, Michael and the staff member arrived upstairs; Michael couldn't help but admire the beautiful, grand design of the place. The door that he saw was beautifully painted black. “No wonder, the price per night is something else.” He nodded his head in approbation. “It's worth the pay.” He muttered to himself. Not that it was his first time going to sleep in such a luxurious place but he was the type who admired some things. “Here we are, sir.” The staff member said, snapping him out of his thoughts. He gestured his hand to the door and added, “Here's your room. To be able to enter your room, you just need to place the access card that has been given to you right here.” He pointed to a modern and sleek, silver pedestal next to the suite entrance. “You may proceed.” He stepped aside, allowing Michael to get close to the door. With the access card placed on the spot, the door automatically swung open, revealing the opul
Chapter 135 The waiter was surprised and shocked at the same time, he smiled, “You don't have to do that, ma'am. You're a guest here and I'm a worker. This is my work and not yours. You don't have to help me, I'll get it done.” However, Lucy insisted, standing firmly on her words. Her tone was not shaky but commanding, “I said give it to me, I'll take it to his room. Just give it to me and go and attend to some other things.” “But….” “Don't worry.” Lucy interrupted the waiter sharply, “I insist that you give it to me, you won't be fired for this.” She reassured the waiter, and to soften the whole thing, she dipped her hand into her handbag, brought out a dollar note, and cunningly put it into the waiter's pocket. “I think that'll serve.” She smiled at the waiter, who remained silent, perplexed, while this lady was acting the way she was doing. “Now, hand it over to me!” Lucy added, her voice full with command and it was as if she just used charm or loved eyes on the waiter who
Chapter 136 “Are you still annoyed with me?” Lucy's voice came from the other end, sounding remorseful. She continued without allowing Michael to say a word, “I'm sorry for everything.” “I was never angry at you in the first place.” Michael interrupted, “Just have a nice rest, good night.” He abruptly added and ended the call. He sighed after the call, then made use of the landline telephone, sending a call through, and within twenty minutes, a waiter came in, gathered the dishes, and left the room. “Good night, sir. Have a wonderful rest.” He said to Michael before leaving. “Thank you,” Michael answered him with acknowledgment. He then turned on the TV and watched an Indian Drama, but slowly,y, he fell asleep. Meanwhile, the morning broke at 5 AM still inside the Grand Hotel, Michael rolled himself on the bed, and his eyes slowly opened. He yawned, stretching his body, and sat on the bed. He looked at the clock and saw the time, “It's morning already. I need to go ba
Chapter 137 “Under arrest? What for?” Michael frowned at the policeman who had said that to him. “You have every right to remain silent or whatever you say or do will be used against you in the court of law. Arrest him!” The policeman turned and said to his counterpart. “Bring forth your hands, sir.” The other said to Michael, ready to handcuff him. Michael was perplexed, he hesitated but gave them his hand. After binding his hands together, the policeman ordered, “Please, follow us. You'll get to know about everything when we get to the station.” **** The Chevrolet Tahoe car finally arrived at a spacious area, which was painted gray intermediate between black and white around 6:30 AM after an hour and thirty minutes drive. The door was opened, and Michael was brought out of the car. He looked around the car and saw different kinds of people, coming in and going out. Policemen with different ranks walking to and fro in the place with files piled up in their hands. Incl
Chapter 138 The policemen's mouths opened in extreme shock, unable to dilute their saliva as it hung on the surface of their tongues. “Mr. John Lewis?” Steve muttered. All of them were aware of the power that John Lewis held; they were also fully aware that he was the CEO of the Golden Group of Companies before someone whose identity they didn't know stepped into power in replacement of John Lewis. But why was he here? Did he in any way relate to this man in their front? Thoughts upon thoughts kept running in both the policemen's and Steve's minds. Quickly, Steve transported himself and bowed before John Lewis, “Good morning, sir.” The policemen also hurried and did the same. John glanced down with a frown expression, “What has my boy done to you that you have to arrest him?” He asked, his voice sounding calm. “He's your boy?” Steve raised his head, looking at Michael who crossed his arms. “I swear, sir. I didn't and never knew he was your boy. Are we mad to touch him if w
