Chapter 487
Waylon stood up and yelled.Stunned, Warrick and his guys stopped immediately.“Young man, are you asking for a death wish too?”Warrick pranced towards Waylon, his face grim and black.“Don’t mess around with him! Don’t you know who Waylon’s father is?”Although Xella had tasted the harshest realities of the world in these few years, never had she come across anything like this before. When this incident broke out, the sense of security that she felt in Jacky was gone entirely.Looking at how things turned out, it seemed as though Waylon was handling things better compared to Jacky.Despite being clouded in fear, Xella felt the urge to reveal Waylon’s family background to scare off Warrick and his men.“Pfft! Who is he?”Before Xella could reply, Waylon grabbed her arm and motioned for her to shut up.“Xella, I told you before that I do not want to involve my father in any of my own affairs in the future. Get behind me. It’s okay. I will solve this matter!”Waylon replied.

“Who is causing trouble?” questioned the young man. When Warrick saw the young man, he was shocked. “It’s really you, Jaxon the Great! I am Warrick, and I was just hanging around the area. This is all a misunderstanding!”Jaxon had been invited to sing at a karaoke bar next to Johnsbury Bistro. He initially thought that it would not be right for him not to help Waylon at all after receiving so many favors from Waylon’s family. With that thought in mind, he decided to come over in person to take a look.“So, what should I do now then? Waylon, you’re not injured, are you?”Jaxon asked.“I am not injured, brother! No worries.”Waylon walked over to Jaxon and took out a cigarette before handing it over to Jaxon as he lit it up for him.Just as Jaxon had a few drags of the cigarette, it fell right to the ground. “Brother, what’s wrong?”Waylon asked curiously.“You… you are here?”Jaxon asked as he looked at Gerald, who was sitting down at the table in astonishment.He was v

Jaxon’s respectful attitude toward Gerald surprised everyone. This was especially so for Xella, who was now looking at Gerald with a completely different expression on her face. She had used to think that Gerald only had personal connections with average statused people. To think that he knew such a powerful and reputable individual as Jaxon! What more, Jaxon had even taught the people who were planning to beat Gerald up a lesson. He didn’t give them any face at all! “What a great coincidence! If it weren’t for you, I would already have been beaten up!” said Gerald with a wry smile on his face. He had seen through Waylon’s act. If his guess was correct, then everything that had happened was orchestrated by Waylon. That was probably also the reason why both Waylon and Milo were laughing between themselves earlier. Jaxon simply bowed slightly at Gerald’s comment. What an awkward meal today… Gerald himself already felt full. As for Francesca, after seeing Waylon getting be

After Gerald left, Xella re-entered the building quietly and stood close to Francesca and her daughter. She had been listening to the mother and daughter’s conversation from the moment they started talking again. “What happened at the karaoke bar?” asked Xella nervously before Francesca could even respond. “Oh! See, we went to a karaoke bar a little while back to have some fun. A friend of ours provoked some people there and it led to a clash with Louie from the Lourdes Mining Group in Serene County! Back then, even Douglas was frightened to death despite being such a capable person! After all, it was Louie who we had provoked. Louie had even ordered all the girls to remain in the bar and drink with him!” “What? Cindy! Why wasn’t I told about this earlier?” All Francesca knew was that Gerald had invited her daughter over to enjoy a meal with him. She had just found out about this entire conflict today. “Well, I was afraid that you would be worried! I’ll explain all of it no

“Oh, don’t be like that, Deputy Leia. It isn’t every day that we get to see Deputy Lacy being this happy! After all, she still has to fulfill a pretty big quota that even the President may not be able to reach, and she’s just a deputy!” mocked one of the ladies closer to Leia. Leia was pleased to hear that. “That’s right! She’s still just a deputy! As if she could have that much power!” Lacy only smiled without saying a word. While this was happening, a middle-aged woman suddenly burst into the office, covered head to toe in sweat. Seeing this, the employees in the room immediately shouted in unison, “President!” “President Khan, what’s wrong? You’re drenched in sweat!” asked Leia. Usually, Leia would get more respect from President Khan because of her husband. This time, however, she didn’t even look at her. She simply walked over to Lacy as though she hadn’t heard a word from Leia. “Deputy Lacy, you have accomplished a great achievement on behalf of the bank this time!

“Oh, you know, Gerald. Actually, now that I think about it, you should know him better than I do. After all, he’s the one who withdrew ninety thousand dollars in cash and is also my daughter’s best friend! He treats her very well, you know?” Everyone in the office knew each other very well, which was why Lacy spoke without the slightest hesitation. “Wow! He must be your future son-in-law!” Everyone had slight envy in their voices. “…What? What are you even talking about? As if he could ever have that much power! You’re joking, right?” shouted Leia. “Haha… Oh yes, yes, I’m definitely joking!” replied Lacy sarcastically as she smiled. Lacy’s words pierced through Leia’s heart like spears. She was so angry that she couldn’t even say anything at that moment. How couldn’t she be? Her competitor had won everything! She had even lost to the person she looked down on the most! That Gerald! As the cocktail of anger, hate, and jealousy filled her mind, she couldn’t take the utter

By the time Gerald reached Xeno’s second-hand car shop, several cars were already parked outside. Even from afar, he could hear a group of people quarreling from within the shop. When Gerald got closer, he could see that the glass door had been shattered. The familiar backs of two people could also be seen in front of the shop. It was the mother and daughter from the blind date event! Gerald instantly put two and two together. No wonder she kept telling him not to come over through the phone. The people there were after him! “F*ck! That’s him! He’s the one who beat us up!” shouted the angry woman when she saw Gerald. As she pointed toward him, several people who looked like gangsters wielding wooden bats exited the shop. They had dragon tattoos all over their arms and they each bore fierce expressions on their faces. Xeno himself ran out, holding a kitchen knife in each hand. Even though he was clearly outnumbered, Xeno wasn’t afraid. All of them were outside now, and s

Being the hot-headed person that he was, Xeno eventually scolded the mother and daughter, saying they were extremely thick-skinned! Eventually, Quazzie called in some reinforcements—the gangsters—and all hell broke loose when Xeno’s door was shattered. It was at that moment when Xeno ran into his kitchen to get his two kitchen knives. That was also the reason why Xeno wasn’t picking his phone up when Gerald called earlier. He didn’t want Gerald to get involved with them. “So, who is this Quazzie guy?” asked Gerald. Xeno had taken the hit on behalf of Gerald and Gerald was angry about that. No matter what happened, Gerald would definitely teach Quazzie a lesson. “Well, he’s a gangster who also owns a second-hand car shop. Last month, he accused Xeno of snatching his customers away and not following the rules! He came looking for trouble but luckily, the bosses around here stood by Xeno’s back and after some words, Quazzie left. Quazzie’s been depending on his brother-in-law
