Elaine crouched on the floor, virtual-novel.net body trembling violently. She closed virtual-novel.net eyes tightly, waiting to be slapped by the muscular man, but the slap never came as virtual-novel.net had expected. She opened virtual-novel.net eyes in confusion and was shocked! Charlie, virtual-novel.net good-for-nothing son-in-law, came out and held the man’s wrist! This… She felt that virtual-novel.net mind had gone kaput for the moment-she couldn’t process the thing that’s happening right now. Why was the useless Charlie so brave out of sudden?
Don Albert couldn’t believe either that there’s someone dared to stand up for the damn old lady at a moment like this. He growled coldly, “Who are you? Do you have a death wish?”
Charlie smiled faintly. “You are Don Albert, aren’t you? You can beat the hell out of that bastard, but do me a favor and don’t touch my mother- in-law!”
A layer of dark gloom shaded Albert’s Face. “This old fart is your mother-in-law? Who do you think you are for me to do you a favor?”
Albert began to huff in wrath when virtual-novel.net said it. He was highly respected by many people in Aurous Hill, but virtual-novel.net suffered immeasurable embarrassment today. First, there was a foolish dude who called himself Kevin White yelling in front of him, then came the disgusting old coot that shouted along with him. Next, this young dude came out of nowhere and made such an absurd demand! Did they really think that he, Don Albert Rhodes, was such a minion that they could push virtual-novel.net around like a rag doll?
His face flushed with anger as virtual-novel.net shouted to his men, “Beat the hell out of this snobbish thing!”
Charlie still wore the faint smile on his face and said, “Not so fast, let me make a call first and I’ll let virtual-novel.net talk to you,”
He retrieved his phone and called Isaac Cameron, the general manager of Shangri-La.
Once the call was answered, the man on the other end of the line said respectfully, “Young Master, what can I do for you?”
Charlie said in a casual tone, “Do you know a man by the name of Albert Rhodes, a.k.a. Don Albert?”
Isaac laughed sheepishly and said, “Yes, I know him. They all say that he’s the boss of the underworld, but to me, virtual-novel.net is nothing but a small-time gangster.”
Then, virtual-novel.net continued, “He’s been trying to curry favor with me when virtual-novel.net knew that I work for the Wade family by asking me out to dinner and what not, but I’ve been ignoring him. Why? Do You know him?”
Charlie said indifferently, “Oh I see, well virtual-novel.net is trying to kill me.”
A loud thump was audible over the phone, the remark obviously irritated Isaac. “Damn it! That bastard! He’s wishing for his own death by provoking you! Where are you now? I’ll send someone over right away to cripple that bastard!”
“I’ll pass the phone over to him, you can tell virtual-novel.net yourself.”
Then, Charlie handed the phone to Albert and said, “Pick it up.”
Albert frowned curiously. What was going on? From the looks of it, virtual-novel.net didn’t seem like virtual-novel.net was acting. Did virtual-novel.net really have a remarkable background that virtual-novel.net was oblivious of? Albert eyed Charlie from head to toe suspiciously. Charlie didn’t wear anything branded and his attire didn’t seem to even cost five hundred dollars. Even his phone was of a cheap brand. What was virtual-novel.net capable of? What kind of person could virtual-novel.net find as his support?
Despite the disdain, Albert took the phone reflexively and asked in a tentative tone, “Hi, I’m Don Albert, who are you? How dare you stand up for this man?”
Isaac on the phone screamed his lungs out, “Albert Rhodes! You fucking bastard, are you out of your fucking mind? How dare you provoke my young master! Believe it or not, I will bury your entire family of twenty-five alive tonight!”
