At Least You Kept Your Word
Marvin stepped back to where he had been standing. Jonas watched him, clearly puzzled.“Why ask me to do that?”Marvin shrugged. “My relationship with the Banguards is… not good. Now that I own this place, I’m banning any member of the Banguards from ever setting foot here. You won’t be doing any more shady deals with Calvin Banguard on my property, Officer.”Jonas searched Marvin’s eyes, trying to read what lay behind them. Marvin knew far too much, which meant he was no ordinary man. Suddenly it made perfect sense how he could casually drop seven hundred million dollars.“I see,” Jonas said slowly. “But my dealings with Calvin are long‑standing business ties. If I cut him off, I’m closing one of my biggest sources of income. I’m not sure I can do that—even if we are friends now.”Marvin nodded calmly.“So this is about replacing that income, huh? You’re hoping I can offer you something better?”Jonas lifted both shoulders and eyebrows. “Something like that.”Marvin grinned. “Then ho
A Triumphant Smile
“Hello, Freign. I have something to ask you,” Jonas said as soon as his nephew picked up, his eyes still fixed hard on Marvin. “Is it true you’ve just sold The Salted Pearl?”[Well, someone has just invested an unimaginable amount of money into that restaurant, Uncle. And right now… you could say he is the new owner.]Jonas frowned deeply. “You just let him take it that easily? And you didn’t think to tell me about this?”[I’m sorry, Uncle, but this was an extraordinary situation. I would never have handed The Salted Pearl over to just anyone.]The lines on Jonas’s brow deepened. “What do you mean?”[Do you know how much he put in? Seven hundred million dollars. Seven. Hundred. Million. Dollars.]Jonas’s eyes went wide. “That’s impossible!”[I know. I thought exactly the same at first. But the money was already in my account before I could even question it. No ordinary wealthy person would throw that kind of money at a seafood restaurant worth maybe three hundred million at most.]Jon
I Won’t Be Nice To A Fucking Liar
Not far from The Salted Pearl, a middle‑aged man with an air of commanding authority had just stepped into a black Jeep and settled into the passenger seat.His name was Jonas Wellinsky, a senior police officer whose influence across the Murndale police force was beyond question.“Where would you like me to take you, sir?” asked the young man behind the wheel—Jonas’s most trusted aide.“To The Salted Pearl, Fred. Longham needs my help,” Jonas replied.“Roger that.”Fred started the engine and pulled away. As always, he asked no unnecessary questions. If Jonas gave an order, he carried it out without hesitation. That unwavering loyalty was exactly why he was so highly trusted. Among all officers in the Murndale force, Fred was widely tipped to rise to chief within a few years—a clear sign of just how powerful Jonas remained. Even though he had formally handed over leadership to younger officers, he still pulled every string he wanted.Jonas was, in every sense, the most powerful man i
Let Him Come
Henry froze in utter shock. He had been ordered to slap a paying customer? Was this serious?“What’s wrong? Don’t you want this job anymore?” Marvin sneered.“No, sir, that’s not it!” Henry said quickly, shaking his head. “I just… I was just surprised by what you asked me to do.”Marvin narrowed his eyes. “Surprised? About what? Was my order not clear enough?”Henry opened his mouth to speak, then hesitated. The look in Marvin’s eyes and the tone of his voice made it perfectly plain—he meant every word.The question now was: would Henry actually do it?He turned to the three of them, his gaze lingering longest on Longham. Longham glared back, furious that he was being stared at like that.“How dare you even think of laying a hand on me?! A nobody like you picking a fight with me?!” Longham roared, his eyes bulging.“Don’t listen to this idiot’s nonsense!” Charlotte snapped. “You don’t want to cross someone like Mr. Longham. He has connections everywhere in this city. You’ll regret it
Slap All Three Of Them!
Marvin glanced at Henry with no expression at all, lifting his chin slightly.“Do you think groveling like this will make me feel sorry for you? If you wanted to apologize, you should have done it back then, not now,” he said coldly.Henry froze stiff. Was it really too late? Was there no way to save himself?“I… I know I’m too late. Just as you said, I should have asked for your forgiveness back then. I was wrong. I made a terrible mistake. I was a fool to speak and act the way I did toward you. But please… give me a chance to make up for it. I will do anything you ask, sir.”Henry spoke in a pleading tone. Rachel frowned—she had never seen him look so pathetic. But she knew this was not her concern; he had made his choice, and now he had to face the consequences.Marvin’s expression remained unchanged, showing no interest in Henry’s pleas. But after thinking it through, he realized he wasn’t actually that angry anymore. Unlike Rachel, Henry had chosen the wrong side, and that had a
The New Owner
“People like me? Hahaha…”Marvin threw his head back and laughed openly. It was so loud that several guests turned to stare, looking annoyed.Rachel noticed this. As manager of The Salted Pearl and Mr. Freign’s trusted assistant, she knew she should have him removed at once. But for some reason, instinct told her to hold back.“I’ve asked you nicely to leave,” Henry warned, stepping closer until he was almost face-to-face with Marvin. “Don’t force me to be rude.”Marvin stopped laughing, though he still wore a faint smile. This square-jawed man looked down on him like he was nothing, yet he now held nearly a billion dollars in his name. It was absurd, almost funny.“I’m here to meet Mr. Freign, the owner. Stop blocking my way and let me see him,” Marvin said calmly.For the second time, both Rachel and Henry fell silent. This stranger had just called Mr. Freign by name. Very few people even knew that Mr. Freign owned The Salted Pearl. What was this about?Marvin pointed straight at Ra
