The guards glared at James, it seemed he was not satisfied with the beating they gave him the other day, they were even surprised that he survived, they guessed he was back for more.James, maintaining his composure, looked at the guards with a calm expression. "I'm here to make a reservation for the Sky Garden.The guards exchanged glances and burst into laughter simultaneously. The guard on the left wiped the tears from his eyes, and managed to speak, "You? Make a reservation for the Sky Garden. You this miserable pauper Where would you see the money for it?"The other had recovered from his laughter and finally spoke "You can't even afford an ordinary table reservation and you want to reserve the Sky Garden?"Cherry Garden has four types of reservation, each type of reservation has a floor in the building.Ordinary reservation, you can only eat in the lobby, which is on the ground floor of the building, a reservation costs only $1000.Silver reservation can eat on the second floor
"Manager Ethan!" The guards exclaimed and the guard holding James collar quickly let go of it.Ethan was the manager of Cherry Garden, he was a Middle-aged man wearing a black stylish suit.The restaurant manager, with a stern expression, stared down at the guards.The guards, startled by the manager's intervention, the manager looked threatened as he was visibly sweating like his life was in danger or something.The manager turned to James, acknowledging him with a bow "Mr Winslow, pardon their unacceptable behavior, you're welcome to Cherry Garden"Brian had called Ethan earlier and told him the president of the Winslow Group was being embarrassed at his doorstep.The two guards looked so dumbfounded as to why the manager was bowing down to this common man whom they were just about to beat up, or was he confusing him for someone else?"Manager Ethan, I don't mean to be rude but this is the same man that we threw out of the restaurant for constituting a nuisance" one of the guards sp
"I bought some wealth management products from this insurance company, I invested all my money in it, and now the company does not allow withdrawals," Maureen said.People were carrying cardboard and placards, demonstrating in front of the company.The company was owned by Maverick and he had defrauded over tens of millions of dollars from their victims.Companies like this who dared to swindle people of such amount of money usually had strong backing, it's even possible that they are the big dogs of the underground world- If not how would someone dare scam people of such amount of money?"Why didn't you tell me before investing money in such I would have researched to know if it was legit" James scolded Maureen.Maureen, lowering her gaze, responded with a feeling of regret, "I thought it was a good opportunity, James. They promised high returns, and I wanted to secure a better future for us."Truly the profits they promised were very attractive, over 70%As James looked around at th
"I'll show you what I can do," Darren said as he entered the gate and approached the door of the insurance company but there were several employees blocking the door."Go and tell your leader to come out and refund the money of these uncles and aunts standing outside otherwise I will involve the lawyer team and the public security organ intervene and this place will be shut down and you will definitely be arrested alongside all of you!" Darren shouted angrily at the employees but they just stood there motionless blocking the entrance."Are you deaf??? Do you know who I am? I promise I will send all of you to prison"The young employee at the end was a little nervous and hurriedly said "I am sorry, I am just a security guard I am not responsible for any business"James said coldly "Then go and call your boss, tell him that I Darren from the Harris family said he should come out or he will face the consequences"While speaking, Darren's face was full of arrogance.The young employee was
Darren stood in front of the door of the insurance company with a proud face.He knew that today was a good opportunity to prove his worth to James and the other people outside and besides if things went right he was going to make millions from the percentage of money he was going to collect from them.As the employee went inside to call Maverick out, Darren went back outside the gate to announce "Uncles and aunts be rest assured, the boss of this scam company will come outside soon and refund everybody their money"When everyone heard this, they immediately applauded and they were all excited, and they cheered happily.Everyone was cheering except one person, James, he looked at Darren with a sneer on his face, this guy took himself too seriously and was afraid that he might end up eventually getting himself killed"Darren held his chin up as he enjoyed the respect and admiration from everyone until the gate of the insurance company was suddenly pushed from the inside.They saw the o
Maureen closed her eyes, twitching in fright, expecting a slap to land across her face, but nothing happened.When she opened her eyes, she was shocked.James held the bulky man's hand in mid air before it landed on her face.She stared at James in shock, she did not know what to say.The whole crowd gasped in shock and a hushed silence fell over the scene, tension escalating.Why is James so daring?Lucas Rattler did not expect someone to stand up for this old lady and he asked coldly "Who the hell are you? Do you want to die too?"When Lucas said this he was fuming with anger.He was greatly respected by countless people in Aston Villa but today he has encountered one disrespect to another.First, it was Darren yelling in his face, then it was a miserable old lady who was chirping in front of him.And now a young kid was holding onto one of his men's hand, staring at Lucas defiantly.What kind of animals dared to contradict what he said?Thinking of this infuriated him the more and
Everyone was stunned that James could make Lord Lucas actually kneel on the ground.Nobody in the whole of the south district could make The underground Lord bow to his feet not even people in political power.Lord Lucas was the underground Emperor what kind of man could make him kneel?Lucas Rattler and his men were scared as shit!James was not interested in taking Lucas's life, all he wanted was to protect Maureen from harm.James then said with a calm expression to Lucas who was still on the floor "I can forgive you this time, but speaking about my Matron's money, you must return everything and you must return it with the profit this scam company promised!"Lucas was relieved as he heard James' words, at least today would not be his last day, he saw it as amnesty, he really didn't expect James to forgive him.He immediately blurted out "Don't worry I will do it, I will refund all her money with the profits!"After he immediately turned to Maverick, who clearly had not recovered fr
James frowned and said coldly "And why should I help you? You all mocked me, insulted me, and belittled me. Now, you want my help? You reap what you sow. Deal with the consequences of your actions or find another person in a higher place to help you out."They were all filled with regret when they heard this.It was all their fault, and their only chance of reclaiming their lost money had slipped away.Thinking about this, some of them began to roll on the floor wailing, some began to even slap themselves crying it's all over! All their money is gone!With that, James turned away, leaving the group of uncles and aunts to their fate.As James and Maureen entered the house, Maureen could not help but ask the question that had been bugging her mind."James?" Maureen called softly."Yes, Maureen" James answered.From the curious look on her face, James could tell what she was about to ask."How do you know the Underground Lord Lucas and why was he so polite to you?"James took a moment to
