Quintin took out his phone and dialed his fatherâs number.
âFather, come to the Zachary Restaurant now. I was slapped by uncle Deacon. Please help me!â
Hearing his sonâs voice, Grant was worried and said nervously, âWait, is Deacon losing his mind? I will come to talk to him!â
Because Quintin was his only child, Grant always treated him like a treasure and had never beaten him. It was impossible for him to tolerate others to slap him.
However, Quintin didnât dare to tell the truth and didnât tell his father why he was beaten.
He hanged up the phone and said unhappily, âMy father will be here soon. Uncle Deacon, I will see how you explain to him.â
Deacon smiled and sat beside Maximilian. He put up the teapot to re-fill his glass.
Grant ran to the restaurant in a short time. After glancing over the room, he rushed beside Quintin.
âOh, my son, whatâs wrong with your face?â
âFather, itâs all because of them. Uncle Deacon humiliated me together with that loser!â Quintin complained when pointing at Deacon and Maximilian.
Grant frowned and glanced at Maximilian. When seeing he was wearing ordinary clothes, he ignored him at once, but stared at Deacon in wonder.
Grant was the director of the restaurant association and was in charge of major industries like Zachary Restaurant, which explained why he could become a shareholder of the Zachary Restaurant in H city.
âDid Deacon really beat you?â Grant asked.
âYes, he slapped me twice as soon as he got in without even asking me what happened.â Quintin replied, full of grievance and anger.
Grant was so angry that his blood pressure went up directly. He pointed at Deaconâs nose and shouted, âDeacon, are you seeking death? Or do you think I am too old to go mad? How dare you hurt my son?
Are you crazy?â
âAnd who is this broke? Are you silly by standing by such a trash and beat my son?â
âYes, itâs him. Uncle Deacon beats me because of him. Maximilian is the man who marries into the Griffith family and relies on them.â Quintin said in an aggrieved manner.
Maximilian glanced at him and shook his head, thinking that the father and son were really stupid.
Seeing Maximilianâs scornful expression, Grant yelled, âHow dare you contradict my son? Do you want to know what death is? I am a powerful man in H city and my son canât be bullied by a random person.â
Afterwards, Grant turned around and yelled at Deacon, âDeacon, you owe me an explanation. If you canât, donât blame me for not helping you. Your restaurant can no longer run business and will shut down forever.â
Deacon sneered and stood up, âMr. Grant, your son is really getting into a big trouble. I think youâre the one who are looking for trouble by protecting him.â
âAh, how dare you say it? Do you think I am afraid of you? Do you think you can threaten me? If you dare do that, I will ruin the Zachary Restaurant!â
Grant thought he had found Deaconâs weakness. As long as he mentioned his position in the Restaurant Association, he was sure that Deacon would retreat. He might also have the opportunity to ask for more shares in the Zachary Restaurant.
âGrant, are you really trying to mess up with me? Weâre not a small business.â Deacon glared at him and the atmosphere suddenly became intense.
âWell, we already had when you beat my son. Now itâs my time to teach you a lesson. I will only forgive you if you kneel down to let my son slap you until heâs happy.â Grant werenât afraid of Deacon.
Deacon felt he was breathless because of anger.
Quintin smiled and cursed Maximilian, âLoser, have you seen how powerful I am? Are you really regarding yourself as a big shot? This place is going to close and will stop running business. Just wait to pay the debt by doing sexual work.â
Maximilian took out his phone and called Wilfred again. âA director of the Restaurant Association is barking before me.â
âPlease wait, lord. I will let their president handle this.â
âYes.â Maximilian hanged up the phone by simply talking one sentence.
Deacon looked at him respectfully. He was really a powerful person by making Mr. Ferguson afraid of him with a phone call. His call was aggressive. Could he really make Grant lose all of his power by simply calling someone?
âFuck you!â Grant spat and squinted at him when turning around his head.
âYouâre really good at being pretentious! How dare you say I am barking? I will fuck you and make you kneel down in front of the door to bark!â
Grant was mad at Maximilianâs words. It had been so many years since he was cursed by someone.
Quintin felt familiar about the way Maximilian called. It seemed that he had made a call in this way not long ago.
âWell, then you have to make yourself prepared.â Maximilian said with a smile.
âPrepare for what? Who do you think you are? I am not afraid of anyone in H city. Even powerful people like Thomas have to call me big brother!â
Grant was confident and didnât realize what was going to happen. He just kept on bragging.
âAnyone who wants to open a restaurant in H city has to get my permission. They have to be really careful when seeing me. Have you experienced that feeling, loser? Youâre sure to be obedient to me if you are running a restaurant!â
âBesides, Deacon, do you think you are strong enough to fight with me? Have you forgotten the time when you tried to flatter me? You know nothing about my power! So did Mr. Ferguson. He is such a cheapskate. Just tell him if he wants to continue running the Zachary Restaurant, then he has to provide me with more shares. Otherwise, his restaurant can never open and run again!â
Grant cursed continuously, thinking himself as the master of the world and can decide everyoneâs destiny.
Deacon didnât say anything but looked at him quietly, as if he was watching a fool.
âWhat are you looking at? Donât you believe I can close the Zachary Restaurant? Your front door will be sealed next morning!â
Grant was still barking for ten minutes.
Suddenly, a deep voice came from the direction of the door. âDo you really think you are something?â
