Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, a middle-aged man in a dark blue suit with a buzz cut walked over from afar, surrounded by a dozen men in black. His deep eyes matched his square face, and he had an imposing aura.
“Who is it? How dare you interfere in my business? Do you f*cking want to die?”
Andy shouted angrily as he turned his head.
However, when he saw who it was, his face turned pale and he broke out in cold sweat.
“Mr… Mr. Albert, I… I didn’t know it was you. Just now, I—”
Andy stammered and tried to speak, but the huge fear in his heart made it impossible for him to say a word.
Albert Grant gave him a cold look but said nothing. He turned to look at the crowd, as if searching for something.
At that moment, Harry received a message from the butler: Young Master, this Mook Bar is also the Wilson family’s property. I’ve just called Albert. He’s the person in charge of Litho City and happens to be working at the Mook Bar. He should be there soon.
After reading the butler’s message, Harry felt a weight lift off his chest. If he was right, the man in front of him was Albert, as the butler had mentioned. Then the situation at hand was considered resolved.
Albert also saw Harry at this moment and was about to step forward to greet him, but he stopped in his tracks when he saw Harry blinking frantically.
He understood that Harry did not want to expose his identity, so he looked at Andy.
This person actually wanted to stab Harry with a knife. If he had not happened to come to inspect the area, Harry would have been injured if he arrived a moment later. Then he, as the person-in-charge of Litho City, would have been at the end of his rope. Although it had nothing to do with him, the Wilson family would not listen to his explanation.
“Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in the Mook Bar. Do you want to die?” Albert said coldly.
Sensing the coldness emanating from Albert, Andy lost his balance and slumped to the ground, swallowing hard.
“Mr. Albert, I’m not the one causing trouble. They started it. That chick—no, that young lady had kicked me. I was so angry that I came to confront them,” Andy explained, suppressing the fear in his heart..
Facing Albert, he did not dare to be impudent. In Litho City, be it the underworld or the legitimate world, everyone knew Albert, and no one dared to offend Albert unless he did not want to live anymore.
Albert was publicly recognized as the number one person in Litho City. He controlled 60% of the industries in Litho City. His businesses included hotels, jewelry, medicine, real estate, entertainment venues, and so on. Someone had once estimated that these industries would bring Albert nearly 100 billion yuan in revenue every year, and his annual taxes reached a terrifying 10 billion yuan.
His rise to prominence was also regarded as a legend. Twenty years ago, Albert, who had just graduated from university, came to Litho City alone. With the few hundred yuan he had, he began his entrepreneurial journey. With the idea that women’s money was the easiest to earn, he went to the wholesale market to buy many trinkets. With his extremely eloquent skills, this batch of trinkets made him a fortune.
With this money, he started a company. With his perverted business acumen, he thrived in the business world in the city of Litho, like a fish in water. In just more than ten years, he became the number one person in Litho City. Even the mayor had to respect him.
“He’s lying. He harassed my friend first. That’s why my friend kicked him. He was indignant and tried to force my friend to sleep with him. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to walk out of this bar,” Harry said calmly.
Since he knew that Albert was one of their own people, he had no qualms. In the end, Albert would believe him anyway. Besides, he wasn’t lying. That was the truth.
Hearing Harry’s words, Albert’s expression turned colder. “Is that so? I remember saying that I don’t care about consensual matters in the Mook Bar, but you can’t force yourself on others. Are you ignoring my words?”
As the young master of the Wilson family, there was no need for Harry to lie. Any family in the world would be destroyed in an instant if he said a word.
Feeling Albert’s superior aura, Andy’s face turned pale. He quickly knelt on the ground and begged loudly, “Mr. Albert, I didn’t do it on purpose. I was drunk just now, so I forced myself on that young lady. I can apologize to that young lady. Please let me off.”
Albert looked at Andy expressionlessly and said coldly, “There have been countless drunks since the opening of the Mook Bar, but no one has dared to cause trouble. Do you think you’re better than them? Or do you think your status will make me change the rules?”
“Send out an announcement. From this moment on, blacklist this person. He’s not allowed to appear in any of my industries. Announce that his company is banned. If any company still wants to work with him, blacklist them too.”
With that, he kicked Andy and sent him flying a few meters away.
This bastard had almost cost him his job. How could he let him off the hook so easily? It would be the greatest mercy not to kill him.
“Mr. Albert, don’t. Please don’t ban me, or I’ll die.”
When Andy heard Albert’s words, he panicked and quickly crawled to him, crying and begging for mercy.
Over the years, he had offended many people with his mafia background. Now these people were all staring at him. If he was banned by Albert, it would only be a matter of time before he went bankrupt. Once he went bankrupt, there would be no way out.
