Chapter 396
Finally, it was Gerald’s turn to get into the car.But there was no space.“Oh, f*ck! Just look. Both of our two cars are already full. We cannot possibly ask you to sit with the girls, right? It wouldn’t be convenient!”Douglas laughed and said after rolling down the car window.He had been deliberately mocking Gerald ever since he heard that he had a marriage contract with Leila and deliberately making things difficult for Gerald to embarrass him.Gerald also knew that the reason Douglas had invited him to the karaoke bar with them was probably for this very reason too.“What’s wrong with sitting next to a girl? I will move in a little. Gerald, come and sit next to me!”Cindy said as she waved at Gerald.Douglas felt a little unhappy at this, but he did not dare to say anything because Cindy was also a beautiful goddess too.“Thank you!”Gerald smiled and nodded slightly before he sat next to Cindy.Soon, everyone arrived at a room inside a karaoke bar.Douglas also invit

”What? He got beaten up?”“F*ck! He got into trouble!”The boys and girls in the room suddenly grew very nervous.Even Douglas became anxious.But he did not panic. He simply replied calmly, “Why are you so anxious? Come, let’s go out and take a look. I want to see who’s the prick that actually dares to touch my buddy!”Douglas then waved his hand and a crowd of boys and girls followed closely behind him.A few of the boys even grabbed a few bottles of beer with them. It seemed as though they were going to start a fight today!Gerald had already expected Yorick to get easily agitated.But he really did not expect him to get beaten up.Everyone had already headed out now. It would not be good for Gerald to continue sitting and drinking in the room by himself. Hence, he decided to just follow everyone out.Let’s talk about Yorick. A group of people were surrounding him in the center of the karaoke bar.He was curled up on the ground and blood was oozing out of his forehead.A

”Louie, who is this young brat? A friend of yours?” asked a man with a dragon tattoo.“I don’t know him, but f*ck! He actually knows who I am!” Louie replied with a laugh.“Douglas, who is he?” asked Leila as she quietly nudged Douglas’s arm.“He is Louie Lourdes. The mine in Serene County belongs to their family. He’s the richest man there, and their family is considered one of Mayberry City’s top-ranking families. His father is also the leader of Serene County’s underground triads. Big Dolph works for him. They are definitely a bunch of ruthless people.”“The few around him are also famous members of triads.”Since Douglas knew many people, he hurriedly explained the situation to them.After listening to his explanation, Leila and the others became even more afraid.They had heard of Louie’s name before.They knew about his great influence and power. In fact, how could they not panic when they heard Big Dolph’s name?“Wow! Buddy! What are you doing here with people holding

“Huh?”A moment of silence broke out in the room. Everyone was staring at the young man who just spoke.Give you face?Who are you? Why would I give you face?The person who just spoke was none other than Gerald.He had been outside the room, watching in excitement when he saw Douglas getting embarrassed and humiliated.It had nothing to do with him, after all.Now, Louie obviously had eyes for Leila, Cindy, and the rest of the girls. He didn’t have many reasons to worry about Leila.After all, even though Leila was somewhat polite to him on the surface, Gerald knew very well that this girl actually despised and looked down on him.There was no need for him to brag or show off in front of her.However, Cindy was also here, and Gerald would feel bad if he really did not care about her.She had treated him well since the beginning, never once despising him in any way. She was also the kind that held no preconceived judgments or prejudice in her heart.Perhaps, it might not

A group of men rushed into the karaoke bar after Drake and Tyson waved their hands.At the same time, in the room.Louie was fiddling with the wine glass in his hand as he looked at his watch and said: “Young lad, it has already been five minutes now. There hasn’t been a single phone call. Are you kidding me?”He laughed as he spoke.The next moment, the room door was kicked upon with a loud bang.A group of men swamped into the room.The bodyguards of the group immediately tried to stop the men.However, before they could even do anything, the bodyguards had already been kicked to the ground by the men dressed in black.Their action and movements were all very swift and violent, like a predator attacking its prey!“Who are you guys?”Louie was taken aback.When he saw the skills of these people and the tough yet mysterious aura surrounding them, Louie knew that these men were not from any ordinary backgrounds.“Mr. Crawford, is it him?”Drake and Tyson walked over to Gera
Chapter 401
“Huh? What’s going on, here?”Staying out of the way by the side of the road, Leila and the others watched what was happening in shock.A veritable fleet of expensive cars lined outside the karaoke bar. A throng of people swarmed about the place.“Something must have happened! Gosh… could it be that rascal Gerald’s gotten in over his head?” Douglas wondered aloud.“Must be. I mean, who else in Serene County could stir up this much of a fuss? I should’ve known better than to bring that guy here, no matter what anyone said. Now look at this mess: The moment something major goes down, we’re gonna get dragged into it—Mr Lourdes knows very well he’s with us!” The guys whispered amongst themselves, their outlook seemed bleak.Cindy had gone pale, hearing their words. If what they said was true, then Gerald’s life might be in extreme danger!No, she had to go in and see for herself. If things were really that bad, she’d call the cops! Thinking thusly, Cindy threw open the car door and r

He’d meant summoning people to help fight Louie Lourdes.At that time, Cindy hadn’t paid much thought about it. She’d assumed Gerald was just stalling for time.But right here right now, were a whole horde of people whom, sure enough, had attacked and vanquished Louie.What Cindy was suggesting sent a tremor through Leila’s entire body.“Impossible! That guy? I don’t know much about him, but isn’t he just some penniless loser? How could he have so many rich and powerful friends? Don’t you fall for his nonsense, Cindy!”Heaven’s sake! If it turned out to be true… Leila might as well just ram her head against the nearest wall.But no, haha, it was simply not possible!Leila turned to gesture for everyone back in the car to come over and join them, where she then shared with them what had been learned. Everyone was gobsmacked by the news that Louie had been wiped out clean. They gazed with admiration at the magnificent cars lining up along the street outside the karaoke bar.“Look

“Excuse me, miss!” The waitress in the lead smiled at Leila, who stared with mouth gaping wide as a feast was laid out upon the table before Gerald.“Huh? What?” Leila stuttered for a moment, then exclaimed, “Hey, hey, hey! There must be some mistake—you’ve got the wrong table!”Anyone could tell that it was a sumptuous meal worth a small fortune—at least five hundred dollars or more—and it was meant for Gerald?Leila had always held him in contempt as a man with nothing to his name. One time, she’d let slip that their fathers had been arranging for them to be married, and it had made her a complete laughing stock.“Hey, Leila! Somewhere on a far away farm, your fiancé’s waiting for you!” She could still see those mocking grins vividly at the back of her mind.It had been the greatest source of misery in her life. She never spoke of it, but it was always on her mind. As a symbol of her humiliation, she utterly despised Gerald Crawford.And yet, Gerald was eating so well right now
