The return of the underestimated imperial master

chapter 10

“How could you treat a guest this way?” The woman asked, glaring as she pointed at the men.

“When I authorized the training for the new recruits, I specifically instructed the trainers to teach you both how to treat people professionally!

You're clearly not ready for this job. I'll have your resignation letters processed immediately!”

At that moment, the men's faces became filled with fear. Immediately, they dropped on their knees.

“We were only doing our jobs, boss. We thought he was a thief and…”

“Do you have any solid proof of that?” She asked, her voice icy.

Only then did the two men exchange glances and nodded hesitantly.

The woman scoffed as she brought out her phone and showed them a video.

It turned out that she had been watching the entire scene unfold from the control room.

Just to have enough proof, she recorded a video of how they manhandled the guest just in case they tried to twist the story.

Only then did she storm out furiously.

“We… I… it's not what you think, boss. Everyone needed safety…. “

The first man stammered, trembling.

He knew how hard it was for him to get the job with a generous offer from the Snow family. If he lost the job, he would be doomed.

“Well, you both are suspended until further notice. Now, leave!” She screamed.

Then, they dashed off without a word.

“Are you okay?” The woman's soft voice filled his ears as Reed looked at the woman in amazement.

For the first time since he left the prison, he was dazed. That was because everyone looked down on him without knowing who he was.

Yet, this woman was different. She was professional, composed and competent.

“I'm fine,” Reed replied.

“I'm sorry about what happened. I'll make sure the personnel are better trained. Clearly, they are not doing their jobs properly”

She extended a hand politely.

“By the way, I am Lieutenant Selena George. Head of the security unit of this party and the entire city.”

“I'm here to see Cornell and his wife”

Reed said instead, not sure of how to react.

Selena's expression instantly shifted slightly as she withdrew her hands with a light smile.

“I'm afraid that won't be easy right now, not even during a private party unless you have a valid ID to help us clear you faster”

At the mention of that, Reed tilted his head, thinking.

He didn't come with any means of ID card because he didn't know he was going to need one.

That moment, the blank card came to his mind. The man had told him that there was nothing he could not control with it.

Only then did he reach his pocket and pulled it out.

“I don't know if this will work,” He said, holding it out to her.

Selena's eyes widened in shock.

A blank card?

Wasn't that the infamous card rumoured to be controlled by a few of the city's wealthiest?

And here it was, in front of her?

Was she seriously dreaming right now?

It could not be the real one, could it?

Reed who noticed her stunned silence spoke again,

“You can check it out”

Only then did Selena have the card taken from him carefully and stare at it again.

It was the card!

How on earth did this man have it? He didn't look wealthy. Could he be a billionaire in disguise? Or a scammer?

No, she could not decide yet! She needed to find out more.

She shook her head and looked at Reed.

“I'm sorry but you need to come upstairs so I can verify the authenticity of the card”

Reed instantly remembered what the old man told him earlier about the card. Now, he suddenly realized why he should have gone to the bank first before anything.

Nevertheless, he was still willing to prove anything and if they didn't believe him, he would get the bodyguard to place a call across Mr Smith Snr.

“Of course,” He said. “Let's do that!”
