It was quite obvious that Thomas was here for Amos. Harley stood up immediately and warned.
âThomas, this is not the place for you to do this.â
Thomas looked at Harley. âYo! Is this Officer Louis? I did not do anything illegal here. I am just here to chat with my old friend. There shouldnât be a problem, right?â
Harley frowned. âYou know very well what kind of business you are doing. Donât provoke me.â
âThank you for your advice, officer. But I am a good citizen now.â Thomas looked at Amos and continued, âPresident Granger, you messed up two of my businesses. What are you going to do now? Are you not going to give me an explanation?â
Amos replied with a faint smile on his face. âWhat kind of explanation are you expecting?â
âAh!â Thomas pinched one of the ladiesâ breasts while smiling proudly at Amos.
âWhy donât you become my collaborator? Who else can compete with you now in Rosaville City? Do you remember what I told you last time, that if we collaborate, we will be unbeatable.â
âHaâ¦â Amos smiled. âThank you for your kindness, President Shelby. Everyone has their own ambitions. I will definitely give you a hand if you ask me for help in real estate development. But, if itâs something else, I donât think I can be helpful.â
Thomasâ face darkened instantly.
âAmos, are you kidding me? I remember that you did a lot more terrible things when you were still in the States. Are you telling me that you are turning into a new leaf now? Are you f*cking kidding me?â
Several men behind him put their hands into their coats and grabbed their weapons.
All of a sudden, a few men flashed out from behind them in a split second and pointed a baseball bat at Thomas.
Thomas immediately knew who they were and broke out in cold sweat. He quickly concealed his fear in a smile.
He sneered. âI knew it! Itâs impossible for a person like you to change!â
Charlie pushed him with the bat again and Thomas held his tongue instantly.
He quickly added, âMisunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding. President Granger is right. Itâs not right to do such things.â
âYou may leave now!â Charlie said coldly.
Thomas left with his men right away.
Charlie only let go of Thomas after they left the building.
A man named Neil White came up to Thomas, âBoss.â
âPa!â Thomas gave him a slap in his face. âItâs such a waste of resources for me to raise you! You had just embarrassed me!â
He shouted, âIâm sorry, Boss!â
His slap was so hard that the palm print glowed in red on his cheek.
He rubbed his face and added, âDonât be angry, boss. I have an idea!â
âSpit it!â Thomas replied in a cold voice.
He blurted out, âWe just need to find out his weak spot. Once we know what it is, I swear that he is going to listen to us!â
âWeak spot?â Thomas was so angry and gave Neil another kick. âDo you think that cold-blooded man has a weak spot?â
âSomeone just told me that he bought an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Brooklyn,â Neil answered.
âSo what?â Thomas was getting impatient. âHe doesnât even like Brooklyn. On top of that, I donât want to go back to that place either.â
Neil smiled and replied, âBoss, thatâs the point. Why would someone go there if he hates it?â
Thomasâ eyes lit up.
âYou mean?â
Neil explained, âI believe something fishy must be going on there. Heâs going to listen to you once we know what he has up his sleeve.â
âYouâre good!â Thomas burst out laughing. âIâll leave this to you then. Youâll go there tomorrow morning. If you succeed, I will treat you well after you come back!â
âYes boss! You can rest assured!â Neil shouted excitedly.
â¦
After Thomas left, Harley asked, âDo you want a drink?â
Amos looked at his wristwatch and replied, âNo!â
He stood up directly and left.
Harley sneered, âItâs true that people do change when they are in love! Go! Donât ever come back again if you leave now!â
Amos rolled his eyes at him and went out of the room. He then tried to give Eudora a call.
Eudora was dealing with the thug when her phone rang. But it fell to the ground when she was about to take it out of her pocket.
The man quickly locked her hands against the wall before she could reach the phone.
The drunk manâs lecherous gaze reminded Eudora about her previous frightening experience.
She had no idea what to do. Before she could shout, the man was already dragged away from her.
He was thrown to the ground and Christopher punched him twice in his face. He quickly got up and escaped.
âAre you okay?â Christopher felt guilty. âItâs all my fault. I shouldnât have brought you here.â
Eudora shook her head. She lost her balance as she was about to walk away.
Christopher quickly grabbed her and asked, âAre you really okay?â
At the same time, Amos, who was on the other end of the corridor, saw Eudora fall into Christopherâs arms.
He frowned when Eudora saw him. She immediately rushed into his arms. She whispered, âAmos.â
She finally calmed down when she was with Amos. She didnât even know that she relied on him so much.
The coldness in Amosâ eyes disappeared immediately while he hugged her. âWhatâs wrong?â
Christopher felt something was missing in his heart. He stood there for a few seconds and said, âPresident Granger, itâs my fault. I brought everyone here for a team dinner, but I didnât expect for this to happen.â
Amos frowned and turned around to look at the man behind him.
The man understood Amos and disappeared instantly.
Amos stared at Christopher and replied, âItâs, of course, your fault since this happened to your staff during work hours since team dinner is a part of work.â
Eudora sensed the tension in the air. She quickly said, âIâm fine, really. It was President Gellert who saved me just now!â
Amos nodded while he took her hand and went out.
Christopher made a wry smile while looking at both of them leaving.
â¦
A drunk man was seen walking unsteadily on a street.
He approached a beautiful woman who was passing by and tried to hug her. The woman snorted, âYou drunkard, what are you doing?â
âWhat do you think?â He dragged the woman to the bush.
The woman followed him hesitantly.
After they both had fun, the woman screamed for help while she tried to put on her clothes.
Two policemen who were on patrol quickly pinned the drunk man down.
