The Zettalillion son-in-law's revenge

Trouble

In the outskirts of Santo City. A black BMW drove slowly inside the compound of a grandiloquent building that had seven stars proudly imprinted at the top of the building.

Harry, Jane, Christel, and Mrs. Bertha stepped out of the car and stared at the building before them.

“So this is the infamous seven-star hotel. I never thought I'd get to visit this place one day, not to talk about having lunch here,” Jane laughed out loud then stared at her elder sister, Christel.

“Let's go, there's still more to show you,” Harry urged then led the way for them. He had promised to take Christel out for lunch and seeing this Jane decided to follow suit.

Just as they got inside the elevator and were about to close it a familiar figure appeared before them.

‘'What is he doing here?’ Harry's pupils shrank slightly as the familiar figure walked inside the elevator with a calm look on his face.

'What is this ungrateful man doing here? Is he by chance stalking my daughter? That's so disgusting of him,’’ Mrs. Bertha flashed Evan a disgusted expression and bit back the urge to kick him out of the elevator.

Christel stared at Evan for a while then looked away. No one knew what she was thinking but one could see the cold glints in her eyes.

“What do-” Harry wanted to stop Evan but when he saw the numbers Evan pressed, the words he intended to say quickly disappeared.

‘' That's the 20th floor! The top floor only received the most dignified guests! What is he doing there?’ Harry gasped with shock written all over his face.

'How could he enter the floor and I couldn't? Who does he think he is to try and show off by playing such cheap tricks?’ He thought then glanced at Christel then quickly understood.

'Oh my, did you think that such a cheap trick would gain Christel's attention?’ He thought and flashed Evan a disgusted look.

Evan simply stared ahead deep in his thoughts and it almost felt like he didn't see the people in the elevator.

His eyes were calm and collected as he listened to the soft music from the elevator's speaker.

“Let's go,” Harry said the instant the familiar dinged sound pierced through the thick atmosphere.

The women quickly left the elevator and waited aside to watch how Evan would get kicked out by the guards.

‘' Let's see how you will get away with this. If I, the son of one of the most influential men in this city, can't afford this floor, what makes you think your low life can gain access here?’ He smirked as he waited patiently to enjoy the show but to his dismay and that to Mrs Bertha.

Evan stepped out of the elevator with a calm look on his face and watched as the guards walked up to him.

“Please we would like to see your invite card,” One of them said.

“I don't have one,” Evan calmly replied, then took out his phone and showed him a text sent by the mayor.

“Is this enough?” He added. The guard's eyes widened in horror and they quickly cleared the way for him.

“We are truly sorry sir,” They whispered fiercely as a beard of sweat formed on their forehead.

Evan nodded but didn't say a word. They did nothing wrong and were only doing their jobs.

He walked past Harry as though he didn't see him then made his way to the room address he was given.

In the dinner room, a group of elderly men all sat around a long table with different auras emitting from them. Even the mayor was among these men and he looked calm and collected.

Each of their people had different dress patterns and symbols. They were the family heads who ruled in the shadows of Santo city.

“Are you sure he would come?” One of them asked nervously. The mighty aura they all had disappeared the instant the man mentioned ‘he’.

“I don't know. But my assistant told me that he agreed to come. So we all have to pray that he doesn't have a change of mind,” The Mayor coughed silently and then drank the hot tea before him.

Just as they were about to give up all hope. The door suddenly opened and Evan's calm and collected face appeared before them and without thinking twice they all got up on their feet and paid respect to him.

Evan returned the greetings and then took a sit on the spot left in the room.

“Ah! We are glad that you made it here sir. We thought for a moment that you might have had a change of heart,” The mayor laughed nervously as the image of what happened last time flashed in his head.

'Hopefully, there won't be any problems today.’

“ My name is Jordan Stone. The owner of the TGH business in this city. It is an honor to see you in person,” A bald man stood up and paid his greetings then took his seat.

“I am David Edward the head of the Edward family and our business is all about goods and importation,” Another man said.

A tall middle-aged man with grey hair stood up then said, “ I am Justin Greystone. The founder of the Silver Ray's company.” 

He took his seat and then stared at Evan. Evan stared at him for a while as though he was trying to get something from him.

“Is there a problem?” Justin asked.

“Do you by chance know a man named Harry?” He asked and Justin's face turned pale.

Seeing the quick reaction on his face, Evan knew that he was right.

“I guess I am correct then,” Even muttered and leaned against the chair.

Justin stared at the calm man before him and he suddenly sensed that something bad must have happened. 

“I sincerely apologize if my nephew had wronged you in any way. He is naive and always blinded by his arrogance. Please forgive him,” He quickly apologized. 

Evan's gaze never left him and when he was about to reply the door banged open and someone walked in with full force.

Harry stared at the men in the room and frowned when he saw the displeased look on his uncle's face.

He thought maybe Evan's presence must have irritated his uncle and such he walked towards Evan and yelled at him.

“I knew you were shameless and thick-skinned but I never thought you would be this foolish! Get out of this place you low life. When will you learn to know your place?!”
