132: Deal
Dylan and Mr. James sat inside a luxurious restaurant that Dylan had booked for their discussion.The atmosphere was calm and quiet, completely different from the chaos that had happened earlier at the bar. Soft music played in the background while waiters moved around politely, serving customers.Mr. James still looked overwhelmed.Even after everything that had happened, it still felt unreal to him.After several moments of silence, he finally looked at Dylan and asked,“Who are you? And what exactly do you want from me?”Dylan smiled faintly before taking a sip from the drink in his hand.“Who I am doesn’t really matter,” he replied calmly. “What matters is what the two of us can gain from each other. Don’t you think?”Mr. James frowned slightly, confused by the answer.“And what does that mean?” he asked carefully.Dylan leaned back in his seat.“It means I can help you,” he explained. “And in return, I’d appreciate your help with something as well.”Mr. James raised an eyebrow.“
131: Saved
The manager panicked as he staggered backward, barely keeping his balance.“That’s impossible… that’s not…” he muttered, looking around in confusion. “How did you…?”In a burst of anger, he rushed at Dylan, throwing a punch meant to knock him down.But Dylan moved smoothly.He dodged the attack with ease—and in the same motion, delivered a sharp slap across the manager’s face.The sound echoed through the bar.The manager stumbled backward and crashed to the ground, landing hard. He groaned, then pushed himself up slowly, glaring at Dylan with a mixture of rage and disbelief.Dylan only smiled.“I warned you,” he said calmly. “But you didn’t listen. Now I’d like to see how you keep running this place after everything comes out. You brought this on yourself.”The manager clenched his fists tightly, his breathing uneven.“What do you want…?” he asked through gritted teeth.Dylan’s expression didn’t change.“It’s simple,” he replied. “Give him back his money. Every last bit of it. And ap
130: None
Dylan stared at them lying on the floor as he slowly walked closer.“Does anyone still want to fight this useless weakling?” he said calmly. “I’m open to it.”His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried across the room.The men on the ground immediately shrank back, dragging themselves away from him. No one dared to step forward again. Even the ones still standing avoided his eyes.The manager struggled to his feet, clearly shaken, yet trying to hold onto what little authority he had left. He wiped his mouth and glared at Dylan.“Who the hell are you?” he demanded. “And what do you want?”Dylan gave a small, almost amused smile.“Simple,” he said. “Pay him back. Every single bit of his money. Add a bonus for everything he went through. And apologize to him—right now.”The words were clear. Direct.As soon as he finished speaking, the manager turned to look at Mr. James—and then burst out laughing.Loud. Mocking. Disrespectful.“So you’re telling me to apologize to him?” he said, pointing ca
129: Who?
The words left the manager speechless. He couldn’t believe Dylan was actually talking down to him like that.Annoyed, he suddenly threw a hard punch at Dylan’s face. Dylan staggered backward, holding his chin.The manager let out a laugh.“You weak bastard think you can say anything about me and walk away?” he said coldly. “I’m going to make sure you pay for that.”He stepped forward again and landed another punch. Then another. And another.Dylan only staggered backward, taking each hit without saying a word.The manager kept laughing as he attacked.“You’re a lowly bastard! Do you even know who I am?” he shouted. “You’re a nobody before me! I can crush you whenever I want!”He kept punching and pushing Dylan, trying to break him down.But Dylan remained silent.He simply endured it.Until a point.Then, Dylan smiled.As the manager raised his hand again to slap him, Dylan suddenly caught his fist mid-air.The room changed instantly.The manager froze.He stared at Dylan’s face—and f
128: Dare!
While Mr. James was still on his knees, the manager turned impatiently to the security men.“And why are you just standing there?” he snapped. “Throw this trash out before he ruins my business!”At his command, the security men quickly moved forward to grab Mr. James.“Take him straight to jail,” the manager added coldly. “That way, he won’t come back to disturb me again.”Mr. James continued begging through tears as the guards dragged him up roughly, preparing to throw him out once more.“Please… I’m begging you… just give me what I worked for…” he cried helplessly, his voice breaking as he struggled in their grip.Just as they began to pull him away—A calm voice suddenly cut through the noise of the bar.“I wonder what gave a common manager like you the confidence to bully your own worker like this. Don’t you fear the consequences?”The entire place fell silent.Every head turned at once.Who dared to say something like that?The manager of this bar wasn’t just any ordinary man—he
127: Speechless
That day, the manager of the bar happened to be around. So when he heard the commotion, he stepped out to see what was going on.“What’s all this noise?”Mr. James immediately turned to him and walked forward, his expression tight with desperation. This time, he didn’t hesitate.“I’ve been working here for years, and I haven’t been paid,” he said, his voice firm despite the strain in it. “You’ve been denying me my money for so long. And now that I’ve retired, you still refuse to pay me. How is this fair?”The manager looked him up and down, his face twisting with annoyance.“You again?” he scoffed. “Didn’t I ban you from ever stepping foot in this place? Why are you here?”“I came to take what’s mine,” James replied, forcing himself to stand his ground. “Pay me.”The manager let out a short, mocking laugh.“And why should I listen to any rubbish you’re saying?” he said coldly. “You’re disturbing my business. Get out before I have you thrown in jail.”Mr. James clenched his fists, his
