At this moment, a fat man passed by, but as he passed, he stopped and looked at Robin Bailey in surprise. “It’s you, you poor bastard!”
“Jeffrey Wong.”
Gavin also saw the fat man, whom he recognized. A coal mine owner, a nouveau riche. They had met a few times before.
“Gavin, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
Jeffrey Wong walked over and exchanged greetings with Gavin. This Jeffrey Wong was none other than Fatty Wong from the border, the one who wet his pants in fear.
Robin Bailey found it somewhat amusing to see him. This fat guy had actually spotted him here.
“Do you know him?” Gavin paused for a moment and pointed.
His net worth was higher than Jeffrey Wong’s, and normally Fatty Wong would fawn over him. So, there was no need to be polite.
“I know him,” Fatty Wong nodded. “This guy is a poor man. When I met him while traveling, he couldn’t even afford a meal for $66, 000. In the end, he got beaten up and thrown out. He even wet his pants, a total wimp. I don’t know what he did to offend you, but he has no background, I guarantee.”
No one could prove he was lying. He could make up whatever he wanted. Besides, he believed most of what he said was true. As for the $66, 000, those people really didn’t give it to him. If they didn’t, he knew what would happen. He would definitely be thrown out. As for wetting his pants, he wanted to take the initiative.
He was afraid Robin Bailey would accuse him of wetting his pants, so he said it first. Once he said it, no one would believe Robin Bailey if he said it later. At this moment, he even admired his own cleverness.
Taking the initiative, how brilliant!
“Poor man, wimp?” Gavin was slightly taken aback. He had always thought Robin Bailey was the mysterious boss, so his tone had been slightly polite. Now he realized it wasn’t the case.
Immediately, he turned to Lorelei and said, “Yesterday, it was all an act. This guy is just a poor man, purely used to deceive you.”
“Deceiving me?” Lorelei was stunned and immediately became angry. It was all an act. Seeing Fatty Wong’s reaction, he knew Robin Bailey had offended Gavin. He knew Gavin’s worth was not to be underestimated. This guy was finished.
“Well, I have something to take care of. I’ll leave first.” Fatty Wong smiled and greeted Gavin before leaving. He had matters to attend to at the mine. He had to hurry back to handle them. Before leaving, he gave Robin Bailey a look, a look that said, “You’re finished.”
After he left, Gavin’s expression turned cold. “Damn, I was actually scared by a poor man. I was being so polite. Since the task given to me from above is to suppress Isabella’s company, I can start now. Call the lobby manager here. He’s my cousin. I want people to forcefully throw him out.”
Throw him out. Let everyone see how powerful Gavin was.
Soon, a well-dressed man, slightly older than Gavin, arrived. After coming over, he said, “Cousin, what’s the matter? Why did you call me here?”
“I’m giving you a chance to make a contribution.” Gavin smiled and then pointed at Robin Bailey and Isabella Turner. “I suppose you’ve heard of this woman, Isabella Turner. You know what’s been happening recently. This person and another mysterious figure have offended the Five Great Families. The Five Great Families are angry, so as the security chief here, I want you to kick him out. I will reward you handsomely for this great achievement.”
The lobby manager frowned upon hearing that. “That mysterious person is not someone to mess with.” He gestured towards Robin Bailey.
But Gavin shook his head, saying, “It’s not that. The mysterious person didn’t come. This is just a nobody. Don’t worry, I assure you. This is an incredibly rare opportunity. Once we gain the recognition of the five major families, we’ll soar to the top. Isn’t it simple? Let me tell you secretly, my cousin has secured investments from the five major families this time, allowing me to take down Isabella Company and support our company to grow and strengthen. Just think about it.”
The lobby manager’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Indeed, this was an extremely rare opportunity, and with his cousin by his side, he felt at ease. Immediately, the lobby manager looked at Robin Bailey, a hint of menace appearing in his eyes.
He intended to drive away these two individuals of lower status effortlessly and then gain the appreciation of the five major families. No matter how you looked at it, it was a big win. “Security, kick these people out, no, throw them out.”
The lobby manager promptly called the security guards. Gavin smiled instantly; he couldn’t manipulate the security guards here, but his cousin could.
Getting rid of these two guys would not only get them out but also allow his cousin to claim credit. “Good.”
Suddenly, five or six security guards surrounded them, wielding electric batons. There was a fierceness in their eyes; after all, they weren’t ordinary guards if they could work at this high-end restaurant. They were all retired soldiers.
Gradually, they closed in. However, a single glance from Robin Bailey froze them, not due to intimidation but because they gleaned some information from Robin Bailey’s eyes. It seemed this person was also a soldier.
All of them were soldiers, creating some hesitation. They didn’t want to turn against each other. “What are you waiting for? Attack!” The lobby manager, seeing them motionless, immediately scolded. However, they still didn’t move.
They didn’t want to lay a hand on Robin Bailey. They sensed a familiar aura emanating from Robin Bailey. The aura of military service. “What are you waiting for? I told you to attack!”
The lobby manager, witnessing their inaction, felt that they were defying his orders, especially in front of Gavin. It was embarrassing for him and made him infuriated.
He even considered scolding and hitting them to make them move. Make them act. However, at that moment, a person descended from the staircase, causing the lobby manager to rejoice. “Boss, there are troublemakers here, and these lousy security guards actually didn’t listen to me. Boss, these security guards are so disobedient. Do you mind replacing them? Right, quickly throw these two guys out. They dare to cause trouble in our establishment, seriously affecting the customers…”
However, before he could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard. The boss moved swiftly, grabbing the hand the person was pointing with, then executing a shoulder throw, slamming them onto the ground.
Their face twisted in pain, while the boss angrily said, “Did I let my people be insulted by you? Furthermore, you call that person a troublemaker? I saw it all on the surveillance footage. You’ve been abusing your authority, enjoying it, huh?”
The boss had seen it all from above. He saw this person’s mistake. After throwing them, the boss snorted as if he had vented his frustration, then approached Robin Bailey. “Apologies…”
However, at that moment, Robin Bailey took a step closer and whispered, “The Dark Division? Mr. Berger’s people?” The boss’s pupils contracted suddenly.
