You must know that the Longman family in Langstel is a top-tier clan, and Larry, as the eldest son of the Longman family, shouldn’t be so submissive to a few security guards, right? Although the time she had known Larry was short, the beautiful woman had witnessed Larry’s arrogance. Under normal circumstances, Larry would have shouted at the guards to get lost.
“Mr. Longman, these security guards are so rude…”
“You shut the hell up!” Larry suddenly yelled at the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman was surprised; had Larry taken the wrong medicine? Or were these security guards exceptionally powerful?
The head security guard focused on Larry’s face and said coldly, “You seem familiar, aren’t you from the Longman family?”
Hearing this, Larry suddenly felt a chill down his spine and quickly said, “Sir, I’m sorry. I was just taking my girlfriend for a walk and accidentally passed by here. I won’t do it again.”
“Taking a walk?” The head security guard clearly didn’t believe him. “I remember now, you’re indeed from the Longman family, and your name is Larry, right? Your family has been living here in Langstel for a while now, so you should be aware of the villa area’s rules. Trespassing on someone else’s territory comes with consequences. Come with me.”
The implication of the security guard’s words made Larry understand immediately. If his father learned about this, he’d be in for a world of trouble, maybe even losing the use of his legs.
“Sir, please, it’s the first-time for me. Show some mercy and spare me this time,” Larry pleaded.
The security guards’ duty was to uphold the villa area’s rules and maintain security in the assigned villas. He had the authority to punish anyone who violated the rules.
This was the top wealthy district in Langstel, and the rich valued their privacy the most, hence the strict rules. If someone broke the rules without facing consequences, it would tarnish the reputation of Cloud Dream Mountain and, in turn, hold the property management company under Azure Cloud Group accountable. The head security guard couldn’t afford that.
So, in the eyes of the head security guard, there was no leniency. He reached out and grabbed Larry’s shoulder. “No need for further discussion. Come with me or I won’t be polite!”
Larry was now regretting everything. It was all because of the annoying woman beside him. If she hadn’t insisted on visiting Villa Number Nine, this wouldn’t have happened!
“What’s going on?”
Just then, Leo’s voice sounded from behind the head security guard.
The security guard, upon hearing Leo, released Larry and turned around. Seeing Leo, his expression immediately turned respectful. “Mr. Bloomer, these two people trespassed into your private area. I was just about to take them back for handling. We never tolerate those who break the rules.”
As Larry watched the security chief’s respectful and submissive attitude towards Leo, he was utterly baffled. He knew the security head’s disposition quite well, so he quickly deduced that the young man in the Audi definitely wasn’t from a renovation company. Could he be…
Could he be the owner of Villa Number Nine!?
Leo glanced at Larry and the beautiful woman beside him, then said to the security chief, “You’ve misunderstood. These two are my friends.”
The security chief paused for a moment, then immediately turned to Larry with a apologetic smile, “Mr. Longman, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. Didn’t know you were Mr. Bloomer’s friends.”
Larry was left dumbfounded.
This security chief had a change of attitude so quickly. He had been fierce and stern just moments ago, and now he was all smiles. Leo’s switch in attitude was too abrupt for Larry to comprehend.
Larry’s mouth hung open.
Damn, he had been fierce and domineering a moment ago, and now he was smiling and respectful. His change was too fast!
Leo wanted to inform the security leader of something and said, “I have a request. On the 30th of this month, I’ll need two buses.”
Leo had learned some of the villa area’s regulations from the security chief today. If he wanted to invite more than five people into the villa area, he had to notify the property management in advance. To avoid traffic congestion caused by private cars, the property management provided buses free of charge.
The villa area had numerous rules, but they were all designed to protect the residents’ interests and privacy. Thus, there had never been a situation where residents collectively protested against the rules.
The security head immediately responded respectfully, “Mr. Bloomer, rest assured, I’ll inform the property management department and arrange two buses for you on the 30th.”
“Thank you. If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”
The security guards saluted Leo and then walked away.
Larry didn’t relax until the security guards were far away. If he hadn’t figured out by now that Leo was the owner of Villa Number Nine, he would truly be an idiot.
“Mr. Bloomer, thank you for helping me out. I would have been in big trouble if not for you,” Larry said gratefully to Leo.
Leo gave a faint smile. “Since you know the rules of Cloud Dream Mountain, don’t break them casually. Today, I’m in a good mood and won’t hold it against you. But I don’t want to see a situation like this again.”
“Yes, yes, I won’t dare anymore,” Larry nodded repeatedly.
Larry’s attitude towards Leo had changed drastically. At the entrance of the villa area, he had shown disdain and scorn, but now he was filled with gratitude.
In Larry’s eyes, this guy around his age was being too low-key. He had spent 200 million dollars to buy Villa Number Nine, yet he drove an Audi A8. If Larry were in his shoes, he’d definitely get a Bugatti Veyron to play with.
After descending from Cloud Dream Mountain, Leo checked the time. It was almost time for Sophia to leave from work.
Due to the Dreamland incident, they had been in a cold war, resulting in Leo losing the privilege of sending Sophia to and from work. However, he could still drive following her home.
When Leo reached Youth Road, his phone rang, and the car’s screen displayed Karen’s call.
Leo raised an eyebrow and answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Karen’s voice, filled with urgency and panic, came through the car’s speakers. “Leo, something’s happened to Sophia!”
Her words made Leo’s heart skip a beat, and he instinctively slammed on the brakes, causing the car behind him to nearly rear-end him, eliciting angry honks from the driver.
“What happened to Sophia?” Leo asked anxiously.
“She’s been kidnapped!”
Instantly, Leo’s eyes were filled with a murderous intent, but he tried to control his emotions, maintaining his composure. “Where was she kidnapped?”
“Golden Leaf Shopping Plaza’s underground parking lot. Sophia and I had plans to go shopping and have dinner after work today. Suddenly, a van appeared in the parking lot. Several masked men jumped out, forcibly abducted Sophia into the van, and then fled.”
Karen anxiously narrated the kidnapping process to Leo.
