Chapter 11: I Underestimated How Shameless You Were
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
What?
Ryan was stunned for three seconds. It seemed that he had underestimated how shameless Simon was.
As if five million dollars was not enough, he was now blackmailing him for ten million dollars.
Heck!
People thought Ryan was an easy prey just because he had been keeping quiet this time.
Helene was heaving in anger as she looked at Simon. “Don’t be too much, Simon! There is someone that you definitely don’t want to mess with. You are going to regret it if you do that.”
Helene might be young, but as the Intelligence Queen of the Fletchers in the Southwest, she could get quite nasty at times. Simon was stunned at seeing her aura.
This dumbass Ryan might look unassuming, but the pretty woman beside him seemed to come from the 18th floor, too.
Since Simon knew little about Helene, he was cautious about her.
“Hey, beauty, I didn’t mean to offend you. Just because Ryan has damaged our company’s oil painting, we need to answer to our boss. You don’t have to defend him at all.” Simon tried to sound her out.
Helene turned around and glanced at Ryan suspiciously. This young master was really interesting.
The Fletcher family was apparently a monstrous organization, fabulously wealthy and powerful. Yet Ryan was pretending to be a painting expert.
What was he up to?
This young master really knew how to have fun, eh?
Those few pathetic characters of the Fletcher family were still clueless about whom they were up against.
Simon had noticed Helene’s hesitation, and he continued. “Hey, beauty, I am in charge here. Let me give you an Imperial Membership Card along with one-hundred-thousand-dollar cash. How about another fifty percent discount when you and your friends come to Hotel Imperial in the future?”
For Simon, this would cost him an arm and a leg.
One hundred thousand dollars in cash and a fifty per cent discount by flashing the Imperial Membership Card were rare privileges that Hotel Imperial had only issued a few of these.
It would be a right investment if Helene was really from some influential forces. But if she was just a small fry, this one hundred thousand dollars would be spent for nothing.
Helene had no word for this guy, Simon. He did not know what he was doing, and did not even know whom he was up against.
How could the direct descendant, the young master of the Fletcher family, be worth only one hundred thousand dollars and a piece of Imperial Membership Card?
Just as Helene was about to burst with anger, Ryan winked at her before turning to Simon. “Okay, ten million, right? Do you still want to increase the price? If not, let me know the account number. I will ask someone to deposit the money right away.”
It was even OK to transfer ten million dollars?
Simon and Kenneth looked at each other. Was Ryan not just a doormat son-in-law of the Mears family who worked at a bar? How could he take out ten million dollars in one go?
Even Mears Corporation could not save itself now. Rumor had it that Mears Corporation had tens of millions of cash deficits. Therefore, it was not possible for it to pay for Ryan’s mistake.
“Retard! Just brag on, Ryan. If you can raise ten million dollars, I will eat my own socks in front of everyone here today!” said Kenneth with confidence.
Lucy sneered. “I really didn’t expect you to be such a person, Ryan. Just admit it, you have no money. Why must you pretend that you have it? What’s the point? Why do you let everyone expose you? Just go down on your knees. Apologize and admit your mistakes, then things will be over—”
“Shut up!” While Lucy was talking, Ryan snubbed as he could not stand it anymore.
When Ryan turned to look at Simon again, Simon felt a chill running up his spine. There was nothing unusual about Ryan’s expression. But somehow, it flustered Simon to see Ryan’s eyes.
“Hmph! Who are you trying to fool, Ryan? I know you left and right. You are the doormat son-in-law of the Mears family, working at a bar. Believe it or not, I can make you lose your job with just a phone call? Now I have changed my mind; forget about the ten million dollars. I want you to kneel in front of me and beg me for mercy.”
Immediately after that, he ordered the group of security guards around him, “Take him!”
Those security guards had been at the ready and lunged towards Ryan and Helene at the sound of the order.
Helene had, on many occasions, wanted to act. But Ryan had stopped her from doing so, as it was still not the time to reveal his identity. Ryan still had a lot of preparations to do. The Fletcher family had their tentacles of control all over the world. It was not easy to take control of it.
Ryan made his move, knocking down four to five security guards. However, he was subdued by two security guards eventually, each on one side. He was brought in front of Simon.
Simon looked at Ryan triumphantly, suddenly lunging up to give him a kick in the stomach. “Bugger, how dare you become arrogant in front of me? Show me your arrogance now, would you? On your knees!”
Kenneth let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Ryan had been subdued. “You fool. Don’t go against Mr. Hodge. You are not his match.”
Simon kicked him just now because of Ryan. Right now, he took the opportunity and gave Ryan a kick in the stomach.
Kenneth turned his head and glanced at Lucy. “Did you feel bad when I treated him like this?”
“Feel bad? Are you kidding me, Kenneth? I couldn’t bother to spare a glance at an idiot like him. How could I feel bad? As long as you are happy, I am happy.” Lucy sneered.
Ryan stared at Lucy with icy eyes as two security guards apprehended him. He almost could not believe that this was the woman he had once been fond of. She was such a vicious and short-sighted woman.
The two security guards got an order from Simon and were about to press Ryan down to the floor.
But at this time, an energy was circulating inside Ryan’s body as he stood still and would not budge an inch.
During the fight with the security guards, he could use his internal energy to protect his vital points. When Simon kicked him in the stomach, he could guard against the kick to avoid injury.
But they would be sorely mistaken if they thought they could make him go down on his knees.
“Do you even have to go this far, Simon?” He glared at Simon, anger reaching a tipping point inside him.
He was no longer willing to wait for the boss of Hotel Imperial to come forward.
He was being bullied on his own turf. Did they really think the young master of the Fletchers was an easy target?
Simon was afraid to have eye contact with Ryan. “Break his legs and throw him out!” His gut feeling told him that Ryan was very dangerous. He should either get rid of Ryan for good now, or had to watch his back all the time.
“Yes, Mr. Hodge!”
Seven to eight security guards holding sticks in their hands had rushed over and were about to hit him on his legs.
Ryan and Helene exchanged a look. Just as they were about to make their moves, a middle-aged man stormed into the hotel lobby with a shout. “Stop! Stop it all! Are you all trying to kill me?”
Those security guards stopped what they were about to do at the sound of the familiar voice. They all bowed to the man with respect. “Hello, Mr. Salvage.”
“Hello my foot!” The man ignored the security guards and walked up to Simon quickly!
Simon let out a servile smile. “Mr. Salvage, I—”
Smack!
He got a slap in the face in response. The blow was so hard that he could almost see stars as he spun two rounds on the spot. “Mr. Salvage, this—”
Smack!
Yet another slap in his face.
Simon was baffled by what happened.
‘What the heck is going on? Why am I always the one who’s getting hurt? Can anyone tell me what is going on?’
