Unexpected Rise of Leonard Storm

Chapter 4

 The crowd turned around. The manager was also a well-known figure in the city not only because of his wealth and being surrounded by influential friends, but he was also a prominent figure in the underworld.

And especially in the case where a lady crosses his path, he always makes sure that he gets after them in one way or the other.

And nobody would ever dare to challenge him before. Especially for someone like Leonard that was looking like mere trash.

The manager pulled his hands off the lady. For the first time, he noticed how stunning she was.

Her cleavage popped through every opportunity they had. And not only for her beauty but her classic nature and air of calmness even the fear of such a situation was something to reckon with.

Now you would be wondering, how a lady got herself into such a mess.

Sofia was one of the most beautiful ladies in the city. Her father was known for his fame and wealth.

Manager Wile had always had his eyes on his right from the first time that he laid his eyes on her.

But this lady could pass for one of the most reserved ladies in the city. He was young and at least had a cute face, and coupled with his wealth and influence, what else would she want in a man?

But even though he always displayed this quality before her at the slightest opportunity that he got, he never for once stole a glance at him

This made him furious. Wanting to rip her in halves until she was going to bleed for mercy. Until she would beg him.

But he never got this opportunity to do what he wanted until today. There she was, walking right into his trap.

And he was going to do anything in his power to get her. "Get your hands from her." He roared once again. 

There was a tint of amusement as he walked up to him and stared right into his eyes and said.

"And who are you to keep your nose into my business?" He said.

"The only nose that I see deep is one that caught wind of what a flirt you are." He flared back to him.

Even Sofia was surprised at his confidence. The manager was a man who was akin to doing whatever he wanted.

She was already plotting how she was going to get her father's help. The card that she had used for payment all her life had suddenly been declined.

And she had a feeling that Wiles had something to do with it.

Even though she appreciated Leonard's courage, acting rashly was only going to make things worse.

But Leonard was the last person that was going to back down.

"What has she done for you to treat her in such a manner?" He flared.

If they had been somewhere else, Leonard would have been dead already after a few slaps. 

But even though he had the whip of the most important institution of the government under his whip, that didn't mean that he was going to act rashly since real estate was the major business that he did.

Even though it would be easy for him to cover things up, it was going to be bad for business. So he had to play his cards neatly.

Just like he had always done and eventually won in the end.

"She tried to steal from the company. Do you think that I was going to allow her to go scout-free without any sort of punishment just because she is a Lady? In your dreams." He said.

Even after these words, Leonard could still feel that the lady was calm and genuine. There was certainly more to this.

"Then if I pay for hers, would you still hold her for theft?" He replied.

The sound of his provoked a deep reckon of laughter throughout the hall. Legs shaked. And the table roared.

Even Wiles could not hold back his laughter.

"You didn't tell me that you were a clown. I would have brought a chair and some popcorn." He mocked, in between his laughter.

Even Sofia could not help but frown. This was even worse than acting brave, he was acting very stupid.

She should have known better.

The Gerund Real Estate enterprise was one of the best that could be offered anywhere in the city. 

The only people who set their foot in that place were members of the highest class in society.

The lowest asset that you are going to get from such a place would be up to ten million dollars and taking a look at Leonard, he was screaming at someone that needed help himself.

Dressed in what the county passes as rags, there was no way that he would be able to afford such after all.

The halt of Wiles brought a stop to the laughter that ravaged the hall. No one would dear Continue.

"What do you think of this place? A roadside supermarket?

Or some thrift shop where you get your clothes from. Oh, I see, you must be one of those beggars that try to pull a scene."

Wiles shoved out his hands from his pockets and began to laugh, while the other joined him soon enough.

The roar of their clap could be equaled by the deafening sounds of lightning bolts.  Sofia scoffed, not knowing if she should be irritated or angry.

With the halt of Wiles, the rest of them quickly pulled a stop.  

"I will have to recommend you for your good acting." He ended his clap, drew a dollar bill from his pocket, and tossed it off to him.

"Take this. I am sure that it's going to get you a meal from those slams that you call a restaurant. I think after eating, you will get enough strength to find a life after this." He finally ended.

And was about to walk away. But even with his stale and domineering look, he didn't budge even for a single moment.

"Are you done?" Everyone in the hall was petrified at the sound of Leonard's words.

Even Wiles was stunned. His subconsciousness makes a U-turn towards Leonard with a glare on his face.

"When I said what I said, did it look like I was joking?" He inquired, without any ounce of respect or fear for not only a wealthy man but an underworld boss.

Did he have a death wish?
