Wynn stared directly at Philip, virtual-novel.net eyes filled with suspicion.
Just who was virtual-novel.net husband, really? Why was a man as powerful as Theo Zander treating virtual-novel.net with such respect and gravitas?
It was not just Wynn, either. Martha and Charles were also looking at virtual-novel.net with eyes widened in surprise.
They had met Theo Zander before at the Old Master’s birthday.
The Old Master had treated Theo with significant reverence.
Yet now, Theo was treating that useless Philip even more respectfully.
What kind of a sick joke was this?
Martha’s eyes narrowed in suspicion and virtual-novel.net looked Philip up and down. She just could not find anything special or impressive about Philip at all.
With that, virtual-novel.net was even more certain now that Theo was a nobody too.
If virtual-novel.net had to treat a piece of trash with such respect, virtual-novel.net must not be all that either.
Had virtual-novel.net old father gone blind? Why was virtual-novel.net so polite to a mere thug like that?
On the other hand, Manson also blinked slightly when virtual-novel.net saw that Philip had really called in reinforcements. He frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
He then exchanged another look with his sister and decided to demand the money anyway.
What was there to be scared of? He was the Chief Staff Sergeant, after all!
He would just arrest anyone who tried to resist!
Hence, Manson abruptly slammed his hand onto the table, making the cups on the table jump. The tea spilled everywhere as virtual-novel.net roared, “I don’t have all day, f*ckers! Hurry up and hand over the three million, or else I’m arresting the lot of you!”
“Who did you say you’re arresting?”
Theo turned to face virtual-novel.net coldly when virtual-novel.net heard that, giving Manson a glare.
Manson was still in the middle of his little tantrum, so virtual-novel.net nearly exploded at Theo. When virtual-novel.net saw who virtual-novel.net was looking at, though, his face instantly turned pale, and his heart pounded in his chest!
What the f*ck!
That was motherf*cking Theo Zander, right?
No way!
Manson thought his eyes were deceiving him, so virtual-novel.net blinked hard and asked in a shaky voice, “A-Are you… the Theo Zander?”
Theo straightened up, his expression stern. Holding his hands behind his back, virtual-novel.net looked at Manson quietly before saying, “Yes, that’s me.”
Crash!
Manson was so scared that virtual-novel.net fell off the couch. Throwing his image to the winds, virtual-novel.net crawled back onto his feet and jogged up to Theo. He nodded away as virtual-novel.net bowed, his body trembling as virtual-novel.net asked, terrified, “M-Master T-Theo… Why are you here?”
His legs could not stop shaking, and the corners of his mouth were twitching like motors.
Manson had lost his guts!
This was the underground boss of Riverdale, after all! He had a hand in everything!
That included both the legal and illegal sides of the city!
Who would dare to make an enemy of virtual-novel.net callously?
That would be simply asking to be killed!
Besides, virtual-novel.net remembered how subservient Theo Zander had behaved in front of that young man earlier.
That had to mean that the young man was a formidable figure indeed!
It was all over!
Manson was feeling very sorry for himself right now. Today might be the end of him, considering virtual-novel.net offended someone so important.
“S-Sorry! I didn’t know any better, Master Theo, forgive me!”
Manson hurriedly bowed his head in an apology. As everyone watched on in surprise, virtual-novel.net then turned to Philip and apologized to virtual-novel.net too. “Um… Mr. Clarke, right? I’m sorry. I was wrong. I’m a dog who can’t tell right from wrong. Please spare me just this once.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, Manson abruptly turned toward his sister, giving virtual-novel.net a look. “Come on, apologize to Mr. Clarke, and the lady with him. Apologize to their parents too!”
Right now, Manson had only one thought in mind. He just wanted to apologize as soon as virtual-novel.net could and beg for their mercy.
Otherwise, if Theo Zander really grew angry at them, they might not get away with their lives.
The flashy woman was proud, and virtual-novel.net did not understand why virtual-novel.net invincible brother had such a vast change in attitude after virtual-novel.net saw that man.
She jeered coldly, “What’s wrong with you, Manny? Who the hell is he, and why do you have to treat virtual-novel.net so nicely? He looks normal to me. You’re the Chief Staff Sergeant! Why are you scared of him?”
Manson wanted nothing more than to strangle his sister right now. How could virtual-novel.net talk to Theo like that? Did virtual-novel.net want to die?!
Theo looked at the flashy woman icily and frowned. “What’s your name?”
The others were still processing Manson’s apology from earlier, but now they watched in shock as virtual-novel.net fell to his knees, tears falling freely down his face.
“Master Zander! Please, spare us!”
Manson howled at the top of his voice and abruptly kowtowed his apology. Immediately after that, virtual-novel.net got up and slapped his sister across the face furiously!
Smack!!
He looked at his sister. It was all his fault for spoiling her.
The sound of flesh against flesh reverberated throughout the sales office!
Everyone was stunned!
What just happened there?
