Chapter 71: The Manager Regrets His Action
Chapter 71The receptionist quickly dialed the manager's number and informed him that his presence was needed downstairs before she ended the call. Putting the telephone down, she looked up with a terrified expression and a sweaty forehead and said, “I have called him. He'll be here soon." Charlie didn't say a word, nor did Rick. Rick was just observing the surroundings with a cold expression. Just then, the sound of footsteps was heard. A man around the age of fifty came into view. He was wearing a black suit, and his expression was filled with anger as he was stepping down the stairs. “All these incompetent workers!" He said, “They can't even handle a minor task! They just keep disturbing me. In fact, I'm going to deduct her salary." Then, he entered the room, and his gaze immediately moved toward the receptionist's desk without acknowledging or realizing the presence of anyone. “Why did you call me?" The manager asked rudely. Hearing his tone, Charlie shook his head and mumb
Chapter 70: Terror in the Bar
Chapter 70 Charlie didn't blink. He pointed, his expression calm. “Him first," he replied. “He got himself involved in what wasn't really his business. He called me names and even threatened to deal with me." Hearing that, the man’s heart skipped. Rick's eyes turned dark. His eyes flicked to the man then back to Charlie, the dark lines in them slowly disappearing. “Any other person?" Rick asked. Charlie glanced around the room, looking at everyone one after the other. Some held their chests, shaking their heads with a pitiful expression as if begging Charlie not to implicate them. Hearts pounded. Finally, Charlie turned to Rick and shook his head. "No, just him.” Beating hearts filled with fear dropped low. A relieved breath escaped their noses. Rick nodded. Without saying a word, he turned and started walking toward the man, his expression calm, but each of the steps he took, depicted a perceived danger. His hand was already balled into a tight fist as he

Chapter 69He pointed toward Charlie, saying, his face twisted with disgust. “This man has been disturbing the whole place and the worst of it all? He’s acting so arrogant. I want you to deal with him.”Rick didn’t respond immediately.He glared at the man, his eyes getting red with resentment. “Don’t worry I will add $1k to what the bar will pay you.”As he uttered that, Rick’s expression changed instantly.“Who are you and what are you talking about?” Rick asked, his voice cold. The man shivered, his lips slightly vibrating. He had thought it was the bar that had informed Rick after this fool came in to make noises.Reality dawned on him—Rick wasn’t invited.No one from the bar called him.Then who did? His heart raced faster as he tried to wrap his head around the whole thing. However, before he could stammer out an answer, Rick’s hand balled into a fist and he lunged it straight into the man’s face, causing him to stumble backward like one without any stamina.The man grunted h
Chapter 68
Chapter 68Charlie’s calm warning stunned the room. Everyone turned to look at each other, wide-eyed.Duke stared at Charlie without words, wondering what had come over him. The man himself let out a chuckle at first, amused by Charlie’s statement. However, his face instantly changed. His face twisted, a dark particle visible in his eyes. “Bastard! How dare you talk back to me?” He grumbled, voice filled with venom. “Alright, let’s see what you can do after I’m done dealing with you.”Hearing that, Duke’s heart skipped, fear immediately gripping him. He rushed forward to beg the man on Charlie’s behalf, but the latter held him and slowly pulled him back, shaking his head slowly.“What do you think you are trying to do?” Charlie asked, his face contorted with a frown. “Beg him? Come on. Let him be. Let’s see what the simp is capable of doing.”His expression was calm, with one hand casually tucked into his pocket as he spoke. Boom!The astonishment in the room grew even louder.Char
Recap II
Chapter 60Just a minute after Charlie left, Jake walked out of the restroom, exhaling in relief.He adjusted his shirt, eyes scanning the place as he stepped forward. “Where's he?" Jake asked, looking around to see if he could find Charlie. The waitress turned, facing him. “Sir Charlie? He just left a few minutes ago. He received a call—an urgent one—and he had to rush away.”Jake frowned but before he could say anything—“But…” the waitress reached out to the table, grabbing the bag of packaged food that Charlie had instructed her to give to Jake. "Here. He instructed me to give this to you.” Jake didn't hesitate.He took it sharply, but gently, and started glancing inside, taking note of the contents. His eyes widened. "You mean he bought all of this just for me?" He asked, his mouth slightly open. The waitress nodded, confirming. “Yes. And here too." She pulled out the five crisp bills that Charlie had also given her. Subtracting one, she handed the remaining four to Jake.
Recap I
Chapter 57A few minutes later, Charlie stepped out of the cab that had carried them. Following immediately was Jake from the other door, his eyes sharp as they scanned around the place, slightly nodding in admiration.Charlie dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out a crisp $100 bill, handing it to the driver. “Here you go. The fare." The driver, after taking the money, glanced down, his eyes rotating as if they were searching for something, but suddenly Charlie spoke up, his voice calm and his expression unreadable. “Is it the change?" He asked, but before the driver could nod and reply, he simply added, waving his hand in dismissal. “Don't worry, just keep it to yourself." The driver's mouth fell open and his jaw dropped to the ground. “I should keep the change? $60? That's huge! Thank you so much, Sir. God bless you." However, as he was thanking, Charlie had already started walking toward the restaurant building, hurling the bag of his purchased gadgets with one hand. Jake
