Chapter 89
“What did you just say?” Innocent Barry whispered, his voice trembling with a mixture of terror and rising fury.Marco, still blinded by his own arrogance, puffed out his chest and smiled widely. “I said this broke fool, Arthur Fletcher, is disrespecting your fine establishment, Mr Barry! You should have him kicked out.”A sharp slap echoed.Innocent Barry swung his hand with all the strength in his body, striking Marco across the cheek. The force of the slap was so sudden and violent that Marco’s head snapped around, sending him stumbling backwards into Philip.The entire room froze in shock. The sixteen association members standing in the doorway stopped breathing, their hands hovering in mid-air as their camera phones recorded the unbelievable sight. Philip stared with his mouth agape, unable to process what had just transpired.Marco clutched his burning red cheek, his eyes wide with confusion. “Mr. Barry, why did you hit me? I am Marco Chester! I booked the Golden Suite! I’m a

Arthur quickly stepped in front of Gabriel, extending a broad arm to gently pull him back behind his shoulder. Concern was etched on Arthur’s face, his voice dropping into an urgency.Arthur pleaded quietly, his eyes fixed nervously on the crowded doorway. “Gabriel, please, step back. Do not get involved in this mess. Marco has spent years building deep financial connections across this city, and half the executive board is standing behind him tonight. You are young, and your future is just beginning. You don’t need to get dragged into our malice or suffer their insults on my account.”Gabriel gently placed a hand on Arthur’s shoulder, feeling the tension vibrating through his frame. His posture remained unyielding.“Uncle Arthur, relax,” Gabriel said softly, his voice possessing a steady rhythm. “You booked this room legally, you paid in full, and you have treated everyone with respect. You haven’t done a single thing wrong tonight. There is no reason for you, or anyone standing at t

The atmosphere inside Bronze Suite 5 was filled with light conversation and warm laughter. Arthur, Jack, Fabian, and Raphael sat comfortably around the wide mahogany table, listening intently as Gabriel quietly answered a few polite questions about his recent return to Ironport.“It really is remarkable,” Jack said, setting his tea glass down with a genuine smile. “Arthur, having someone like Gabriel by your side must bring so much peace of mind. He carries himself with a steady presence.”Arthur smiled warmly, nodding as he patted Gabriel’s shoulder. “He truly does, Jack. After everything my family has endured over the past few years, having him around feels like a turning point.”Before Fabian could pour another round of tea, a resounding crash shattered the calm of the private room.The doors of Suite 5 burst open with force, slamming hard against the interior walls. The peaceful ambience dissolved instantly as a crowd of men poured across the threshold, led by Marco Chester and Ph

Before stepping out of his vehicle in the parking bay of Ascord Spring, Gabriel tapped his phone as he called Andrew. “Andrew,” Gabriel said, his voice smooth and calm. “Notify the owner of Ascord Spring that I am currently on site under my civilian identity. My official title must remain strictly hidden. Tell him that Arthur Fletcher is currently dining in the Bronze Suite, and he should extend every courtesy to Arthur and his guests.” Andrew replied instantly over the line. “Understood, General. I will contact Innocent Barry directly. How should he explain his sudden appearance without raising suspicion?” Gabriel hesitated, watching the entrance of the establishment through his windshield. Then he stated, “Tell him to use a personal cover story. Have him claim his late father once received crucial assistance from a businessman named Arthur Fletcher years ago, and upon hearing that Mr. Fletcher was dining here tonight, he came down personally to show his gratitude.” “Consider i

“We’ll see about that,” Marco snapped coldly, turning on his heel and leading his large entourage out into the hallway toward the private elevators of the Golden Suite.The moment the doors of the Golden Suite swung open, the sixteen members who followed Marco gasped softly in awe. The grand hall featured high ceilings, glittering crystal chandeliers, plush leather seating, and expansive glass windows overlooking the illuminated gardens of Ascord Spring.The men immediately scattered around the spacious room, taking out their smartphones to take pictures of the luxurious décor, the imported wine bottles, and the lavish spread of appetisers set across the long marble table.“Make yourselves comfortable, gentlemen! Tonight, you dine as my guests!” Marco announced grandly, raising his arms with a triumphant grin. While Marco basked in the admiring chatter of the members, Philip leaned in close, whispering sharply into Marco’s ear with a frown.“Marco, you can’t just let Arthur sit down

Even though everyone in the private room knew Marco was arrogant. No one spoke out against him. As the members looked around the cosy Bronze Suite, Marco’s lavish offer made Arthur’s arrangement feel meagre by comparison. A wave of pity washed through the room for Arthur; his carefully planned welcome-back dinner had flopped entirely, turning what should have been a triumphant return into an embarrassing spectacle. Marco stood at the head of the table, resting his hands on his hips with a smug smile. “Let’s settle this simply. Raise your hands if you want to leave this cramped room and come with me to the Golden Suite.” “What do you guys think?” Philip added loudly, waving his arm toward Marco. “Why sit here drinking basic tea when we can dine like royalty?” Marco stepped forward, deepening his pitch. “Not only will you enjoy a far superior meal in the Golden Suite, but I also have word that the owner of Ascord Spring might drop by the upper floor tonight. You’ll have an opportuni
