2024-04-10 02:52:03Rose was shivering on the spot and her breathing was hard.
The aura imposed by the armed men was threatening even though they had now retreated their guns.'This shabbily dressed loser, is he an important person? Why are they bowing before him? ' She wondered and slowly lifted her head to see William who stood there with a hand in his pocket.
This scary squad of the SWAT team who had everyone unable to breathe for fear are now bowing in front of this young man.
This is simply unbelievable. Were they acting a movie scene here? The director must be really good but alas there is no camera around. Why are they respecting this ordinary person?Everyone had their questions especially the three women who have been left dumbfounded.
Mr. Grey had arrived at the scene and to the greatest shock of everyone, he collapsed to the floor and clung to William's legs.
"Young Master," The branch manager of Exclusive Avenue Bank cried aloud, "You have finally returned"'What!?' Everyone gasped in shock.
Mr. Grey didn't care about his expensive suit and had laid on the floor like a child.William had become the center of attraction in the bank.Seeing the peering eyes from all directions, he felt embarrassed and couldn't help but help Grey Almond to his feet.
"Old friend, don't do this to me. I'm embarrassed" William's tone was calm and he could see the tears forming in Grey's eyes.This man could indeed be emotional."Young Master, I've searched the entire world for you. Where have you been?"
Only if Grey knew he had been right here in this City.The best place to hide was the last place one would expect you to be.Instead of replying, William rolled his eyes to see the watching crowd and Grey got the message.He turned to the armed men and commanded them, " Quickly, send everyone away, the young master doesn't want them here"
At once, the men in black turned around and proceeded in the direction of the crowd who wondered what was happening.The three women quickly rushed forward and one of them spoke up immediately, "Mr. Grey, perhaps you're mistaken. This man must be an imposter and not the person you think he is"
Her friends supported her.
"Yes, don't be deceived. He is definitely a con or something. We all know this man""Mr. Grey, he is a bad person and he drives an old garbage truck. This man is a trash picker!"
This was Grey Almond, a very powerful man whom no one would dare to offend in this city.Why was he being respectful to a poorly dressed young man?He must have mistaken him for someone else.A cold light flashed across Grey Almond's face as he barked madly, "Even I dare not insult the young master. Who are you?"
"Me?..." A bright smile appeared on the woman's face as she only paid attention to his last words.
"I'm the wife of Robert Davis. We own a--"Bam!
The woman didn't finish speaking as she was thrown to the side by a powerful slap from Grey who had a menacing look. "No one in this city will dare say such nonsense, whoever your family is"The eyeballs of the other two women almost dropped in shock as they shrunk backward.
Their families were ofcourse influential in New Spring and own successful businesses but Grey Almond was no pushover. He had connections with tycoons who visited the bank branch occasionally and also the top power players in the city. This was no man that could be messed with. One call from him can ruin their family."You must be with her.." Grey's cold eyes flashed in their direction and their legs started to shake for fear.
"No... No.. No.." They stammered incoherently, "We don't know her"
The two women quickly turned around and joined the staff who had been led out by the SWAT team.The woman on the ground was shocked by the betrayal of her friend and hot tears burnt the inner walls of her eyes.
They really denied and left her. "Scram before I break your legs!" Grey had returned his gaze to her like a tiger who had seen a prey.She covered her swollen face and started to run.
Everyone was forcefully sent out of the banking hall including the staffs who were curious about the scene.
Seeing all of this, Rose carefully took her handbag from under the desk and made to run away.
Could this mysterious person be under the disguise of a poor man?He was powerful enough to make her boss drop to the ground and now she had offended him.This person was capable of killing her and leaving no traces behind."Who asked you to leave?" The husked voice of William sent her heart pounding and her legs trembled.
She thought he was some ordinary country bumpkin who had come to cause trouble in the bank.Slowly, she turned to see the big smile on William's face.
It was now she realized how handsome the man in front of her was.He was now different in her sight and she couldn't stare him directly in the eyes.

"You're forgetting to return my card," William said so casually like nothing had happened. "Huh?" She was stunned. Quickly, she moved to the table and picked up the handheld machine only to see the message on the screen. 'Card is unreadable'This was the first time she had seen such a message. Rose dared to not delay as she pulled out the black card and handed it over to William with the slight bow of her head. Her fingers fidgeted as she did and she glanced in the direction of her boss, hoping he would come to her rescue. There was a fierce look on Grey's face instead. He scolded her, "Rose, what did you do?" Somehow, he knew she had done something wrong. Young Master William knew the right place to insert his black card. Rose's legs went jelly and she dropped to her knees, "Forgive me, Mr. Grey. I didn't know he was an important person. He warned me to not insert the card and requested to see you.

The two brothers help their third to his feet and gave him a questioning look. "I slipped, Brothers" He almost stammered.

215: Arrival
Amelia and Ethan arrived at the location of the Underground casino and looked around clueless when a rough-looking man who stood away from them at the alley suddenly approached."You must be the Sinclair woman," The man said, displaying his dirty tooth as he tried to get to Amelia, but Ethan stepped between them."Where is she? Where is my sister?" Amelia yelled in rage, moving from behind Ethan. "You are really the Sinclair woman. The Boss has been waiting for you." After the dirty-toothed man finished speaking, he moved in the direction of a door at the alley, and they quickly followed him.He took them through the door and down a staircase to another door which was guarded by two hefty bouncers.When they entered the main underground gambling hall, they were welcomed by the loud, incoherent noise in the air and the stinging smell of cigarettes and alcohol.Amelia almost puked but she managed to keep walking with her head down.She occasionally looked sideways to see various rough-

Why don't you to that office and worry less about this?"These little underground rats really thought they were strong enough to contend against him.They were nothing but troublesome flies he could flick away.Ethan snorted coldly and puffed his chest to say, " Don't even think you can act capable here again. Didn't you say you could help Ms. Sinclair with the trouble you caused for her family, but this Quantumleap Company had helped the company?"How could he allow this ordinary-looking man to act boastfully in front of a goddess like Amelia?He must be trying to impress her.Natalie quickly stepped in to say, "If it wasn't for you, the Sinclair wouldn't be in this mess, and now you have put Ms. Sinclair in trouble because of your despicable means.
