“Okay, Mr. Fletcher Jr.! Our men will be there in one minute. Congratulations, Mr. Fletcher Jr., you can finally return to the family and no longer have to endure all those frustrations.” A magnetic voice responded on the other end of the phone.
“Remember, don’t reveal my identity yet. I don’t plan to go back yet!” Ryan let out a sigh.
“Understood.”
…
Now that the family ban had been lifted, Ryan no longer had to put up with all this nonsense.
Watching someone bullying his wife?
Ryan could not tolerate that.
After hanging up, he was about to open the door and storm into the room. Just then, Percy Santiago, the manager, came out of the room, saw him, and blurted out, “Do you think the trouble is not big enough, eh? If you want to die, don’t bring us with you!”
While the manager was yelling, Ryan raised his hand and gave him a good slap in the face.
Smack!
The crisp slapping sound reverberated inside the corridor. The manager and several security guards were shocked. “How dare you slap me? You are fired!”
The Royal Bar was a high-end car in Saltband City. The waitstaff here could earn ten million dollars upward a month in salary and tips. This level of pay was considered good in the city.
For many people, working in the Royal Bar was a highly coveted job.
Before the family ban was lifted, Ryan needed a job to support himself.
But now…
“Hmph, it is just a job. So what if you fire me?” Ryan took off the vest and threw it on the ground. Before the manager knew it, Ryan slapped his other cheek. “These are to reciprocate your slaps earlier. You’d better not meddle in my affairs!”
As soon as his voice trailed off and before the manager and security guards knew it, Ryan had kicked open the door and stormed into the room.
At the time, Lumi was pouring wine for Lionel and several other overweight men. “Mr. Ball, Mr. Ramos, I am sorry for what happened just now. I apologize.”
While Lumi was bending over to pour Lionel wine, he groped her with his unbandaged hand. “Forget about the wine, Miss Mears. Why don’t you sit down with me?”
Men would always be men; the harder to get a woman was, the more attractive she was to men.
“Please don’t do this, Mr. Ball. I have a husband…” Lumi shrank back. Unwilling to give up, Lionel pounced at her.
His hand was five centimeters away from Lumi when another beer bottle hit him.
Lionel screamed and pulled back his hand in pain. There went this hand of his.
When he came to his senses and saw that it was Ryan again, he was furious and turned hysterical. “Are you mad or something? Manager, what are you guys doing here? I am going to kill this kid myself today!”
The manager and a few security guards rushed in at once and apprehended Ryan again. “I am sorry, Mr. Ball.”
Interrupted twice in a row without even touching a finger of Lumi, Lionel was fit to be tied. “No amount of sorry can quench my anger now! I am going to kill him today!”
While speaking and ignoring his bleeding hand, Lionel grabbed a beer bottle and was about to smash it down on Ryan’s head.
Subdued by the manager and several security guards, Ryan had no way to dodge. If this beer bottle hit him, it was going to break his head.
Lumi saw that and lunged up to block Lionel in front of Ryan in the nick of time. “Calm down, Mr. Ball. I apologize to you on his behalf. Let him go for my sake, would you? He is my husband, after all.”
But Lionel had gone ballistic. He would not listen to Lumi, no matter what. “Get the hell out of the way! Do I really think you are still a virgin? I will settle accounts with you later!”
Lionel raised the bottle and was about to smash it down. Just then, the sound of footsteps, along with an icy voice, came from outside the door. “Lionel, when will you repay the money that you owe me?”
Lionel’s hand froze in the air upon hearing the voice. He turned around with a smile on his face. “Mr. Parker, didn’t we agree I would repay after two months of grace period?”
A man wearing a suit stepped into the room. Nothing was striking about this square-faced man who seemed to be in a good mood. It was just that he gave off an elegant aura.
When other men in the room saw this man, they all got to their feet and greeted him with respect.
Mr. Parker stretched out his hand and flicked his sleeves. “I have changed my mind. Come with me. You have eight hours to inform your family to raise the money. By the way, since you all are here, come with me, too.”
Mr. Parker glanced at everyone in the room, his voice not loud but it possessed an unquestionable authority.
“Mr. Parker, we have nothing to do with Lionel’s business.”
“I still have something else going on. Can I go first?”
…
When the few men who came with Lionel heard they had to go with Parker, their faces turned pale, and their bodies were shaking.
Parker’s full name was Preston Parker.
He might look gentle on the outside, but he was a ruthless man nicknamed Living Hades in Saltband City. It was said that he had a white house of his own. Anyone who got invited there would come out of it black and blue or even crazy.
Ryan glanced at Preston and immediately knew what it was about.
Preston Parker, the Machiavellian character in Saltband City, must be Level-D support from his family.
How powerful would Level-B and -C support be when Level-D support was already this influential?
“You have opinions?” Preston shot a glance at Lionel and others with a smile, which sent chills up their spines.
“No… no opinions…”
…
Lionel Ball, Frank Ramos, and others, who had been arrogant earlier, were now timid as a mouse as they queued up and walked out of the room.
They were no longer in the mood to worry about Lumi and Ryan.
Preston turned around and glanced at Ryan, who was still apprehended by the security guards, and exchanged a look with him. He then turned to the security guards. “Why are you all still holding him down? Let him go!”
“Yes, sir.” Percy, the manager, quickly responded and then winked at the security guards.
Even the boss of Royal Bar was not fit to carry shoes for Preston. Who was Percy Santiago, the bar manager, to mess with him?
Now that Ryan was safe, Preston quickly left the place.
The manager shot Ryan a look. “You’ve got lucky that Mr. Parker has helped you today. Otherwise, I would have broken your legs. I now announce that you have been fired! Get the hell out of my sight, and don’t let me see you again!”
After saying the harsh words, the manager hurriedly left with the security guards.
He had to report to the boss as soon as possible.
Now, Ryan and Lumi remained in the private room. “Is it really worth it selling yourself for mere thirty million dollars?”
Lumi looked at him with a complicated look and forced a smile. “You don’t understand. The company is about to go bankrupt; I really need the 30 million.”
After marrying Ryan for so many years, their relationship was neither close nor hostile. Nevertheless, she felt touched that Ryan had defended her in every way today.
On the contrary, all her relatives, except for her grandfather, despised Ryan, thinking that he did not deserve her.
Ryan took a long, hard look at her. “You go home first. Never do such stupid things again. I’ll go to my classmates to raise thirty-million-dollar capital.”
It was time to go to the bank.
Thirty million dollars was just a small change.
In the Fletcher family, even the collateral descendants had access to tens of billions of dollars of wealth after the ban was lifted.
What’s more, Ryan was a direct descendant.
