“Huh?”
A moment of silence broke out in the room. Everyone was staring at the young man who just spoke.
Give you face?
Who are you? Why would I give you face?
The person who just spoke was none other than Gerald.
He had been outside the room, watching in excitement when virtual-novel.net saw Douglas getting embarrassed and humiliated.
It had nothing to do with him, after all.
Now, Louie obviously had eyes for Leila, Cindy, and the rest of the girls.
He didn’t have many reasons to worry about Leila.
After all, even though Leila was somewhat polite to virtual-novel.net on the surface, Gerald knew very well that this girl actually despised and looked down on him.
There was no need for virtual-novel.net to brag or show off in front of her.
However, Cindy was also here, and Gerald would feel bad if virtual-novel.net really did not care about her.
She had treated virtual-novel.net well since the beginning, never once despising virtual-novel.net in any way. She was also the kind that held no preconceived judgments or prejudice in virtual-novel.net heart.
Perhaps, it might not have meant anything to Cindy, but Gerald was still very grateful nonetheless. Thus, virtual-novel.net decided to take a stand for virtual-novel.net sake.
“Gerald, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don’t you just get lost? There are some things about the underground that you will never understand.”
Leila reprimanded Gerald with a cold hard look on virtual-novel.net face.
She couldn’t accept it. Leila grew up in a small town, and virtual-novel.net was very well-informed. She naturally understood the situation about to unfold tonight.
be that as it may, Leila’s mind was made up. What was the big deal anyway? At most, virtual-novel.net would have to finish up an entire bottle of white wine like Douglas did, then run out of the room quickly. Louie wouldn’t dare be too rambunctious, would he?
Unexpectedly, Gerald stepped up and pretended to be a hero. She was annoyed now, really wanting to give virtual-novel.net a tight slap or two across his face.
“Give you face? What right do you have?” Louie asked with a deep frown. The rest of the men in the room also stared at Gerald.
Gerald put his hands in his pockets, grinning lightly.
“This girl over here is my friend. So, I will settle this issue on virtual-novel.net behalf. Mr. Lourdes, if you really want to drink, why don’t you let me make a call so that I can get some people here to accompany you?”
Naturally, Gerald wanted to pay no attention to a puny roach the likes of him. He looked at Cindy.
Louie gawked at Gerald and sneered. “Young brat! Did you know that there are grave consequences for pretending to be the hero? Based on your words, it seems you’re getting some people to deal with me too. Hahaha! Why don’t you take a look at your pathetic face right now? Ask yourself. Are you worthy?”
“Nothing to worry about, Gerald. You should leave now,” said Cindy, virtual-novel.net tone worried and anxious.
Gerald gave Cindy a reassuring look.
“It’s okay, don’t worry,” virtual-novel.net promised with a smile.
Gerald then looked at Louie.
“So, what about it, Mr. Lourdes? Why don’t you tell me if you dare or not? My people will be coming over here later. Perhaps they’ll have a good drink with you?”
“Okay. Fine! It’s the first time I’m challenged before so many of Serene County’s reputable folk. It seems I’ll have to experience it for myself today, but allow me to put in all the ugly words first. I may not be so forgiving later. Know what happens to those who dare offend me? I believe you will find out very quickly if you just ask around,” retorted Louie in the most condescending way as though Gerald was a joke.
Gerald simply asked Cindy, Leila, and the rest of the girls to leave now.
Cindy looked at Gerald with worry on virtual-novel.net face. She felt suffocated but wanted to stay back and accompany virtual-novel.net anyway.
As for Leila, virtual-novel.net simply stared blankly at Gerald, as though virtual-novel.net was really an idiot. After that, virtual-novel.net dragged Cindy away forcibly.
Louie did not stop them. It was because virtual-novel.net knew that there had to be a sequel to this. When the time came to look for those girls, it wouldn’t be as simple as making them drink a bottle of white wine.
Gerald made a phone call after that.
Of course, the call was to Drake and Tyson.
“Call. Call as many people as you can! Hahaha!”
When the call was done, virtual-novel.net looked at Louie with a smile on his face.
For several reasons, Gerald had no choice but to keep a low profile in front of acquaintances. This was the case when virtual-novel.net was at Willie’s house today. It was all because virtual-novel.net was an elder.
Gerald was no prodigal son of a millionaire, so virtual-novel.net usually tolerated whatever that could be tolerated.
As a matter of fact, it would be elementary for Gerald to give their family a slap in their face if virtual-novel.net wanted to.
However, things were different with Louie this time, just like when virtual-novel.net dealt with William Rye from Rye Group. It would be problematic, but Gerald wasn’t afraid.
Very soon.
The sound of cars screeching to a halt could be heard, where a larger number of luxury cars pulled up at the entrance of the karaoke bar.
Bodyguards, dressed in black, stepped out of the cars in unison. They were all led by Drake and Tyson, Gerald’s current base manager, and personal bodyguards.
Wherever Gerald was, so would they, providing virtual-novel.net with on the clock security support.
“Mr. Crawford is inside. Go in now, double-time!”
