The private room fell silent when they heard Butch’s announcement. Serena and the employees bolted upright with their hands on their sides, facing the entrance.As expected, a row of men in black suits emerged to inspect the room. Then, a middle-aged man in a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked in. The gray-haired man held two jade balls, exuding an air of authority.His presence was overwhelming. It was the top dog, Tage Warrin, of Shalholm’s underworld. Everyone lowered their heads as he entered, calling out, “Mr. Tage!”However, Serena and the employees stood rooted while Xayne remained seated. Xayne’s calmness shocked Serena and the employees.“Xayne, get up!” Serena exclaimed, tugging at Xayne’s clothes.Some employees rolled their eyes, and others trembled."We're done for! How can Xayne be so bold? Tage's here, yet he's just sitting there eating.""What do we do now? We’ll die because of him.""It's all Xayne's fault! Now that Tage is here, it’s over for us."Many
Serena was distraught. She never expected Xayne to retaliate against Butch and his gang. Still, she did not blame him because he only wanted to protect her.Jordan hurried over, asking, "Ms. Serena and Mr. Xavier, are you both okay?!"Serena looked at Jordan and said, "I'm so sorry for what happened here. Don't worry, I'll make sure to compensate you."Jordan could not accept Serena’s compensation, so he chuckled awkwardly, "N-No, there's no need. I'll have it cleaned up right away."Soon after, a few wait staff entered to tidy up the room and set up a new spread of dishes. Serena’s employees then sat down with worry and anger as they stared at Xayne.Even so, Xayne sat there like nothing had happened and resumed enjoying his meal. No one knew he had gone to the restroom to text Donovan and Harold while the waitstaff cleaned the area.Everyone directed their anger at Xayne."Xayne, do you know what you’ve done?! Butch Tyder is Mr. Tage’s subordinate! You’ve signed your death war
Serena and the other employees were shocked as the tattooed men charged forward. Everyone huddled in the corner of the booth in a panic. However, Xayne remained calm and unfazed as he observed the opposing group. One thrusted his knife toward Xayne’s chest and abdomen, but Xayne avoided the knife and grabbed the man’s arm.A snap sounded as the arm bent, and then Xayne sent the man flying with a kick. The man crashed into two others, shattering the chairs under them.Two more tattooed men attacked Xayne from the sides, swinging their fists and knives. They soon realized they had underestimated Xayne. He reached for a liquor bottle on the table and smashed against the man holding the knife.Alcohol and blood splattered across the floor while the man howled in pain. His eyes stung from the alcohol, and he dropped to his knees. Simultaneously, Xayne pressed the broken bottle against the neck of the other tattooed man.The man froze and looked at the broken bottle against his neck. I
“Does he mean Tage Warrin, the underworld’s top dog?”“Then he has to be the one who just got out of prison after stabbing someone.”“It’s only been a few years, yet he’s already out?”The male employees who shouted at Butch now trembled in fear. Meanwhile, the female employees paled and panicked.Butch scoffed and glared at the group, demanding, "Now, who's leaving?"The employees bowed, mumbling, "We're leaving, we're leaving..."However, Serena was not one to yield. Instead, she confronted Butch, “We've already reserved this private dining room. Why should we leave? If you cause any more trouble, I'll call the police.”She was no ordinary person and would not bow to these thugs. Still, the employees pulled her aside, saying, “Ms. Serena, please don’t argue with them, especially since Butch is one of Mr. Tage’s most trusted subordinates. We should leave!”"Yeah, Ms. Serena. We can't afford to provoke them. Let's go!""Butch is ruthless. He's seriously hurt many people. Don't
Jordan panicked, realizing he was between a rock and a hard place. On one side was Butch, one of Tage’s top enforcers, while the other was Xayne, a presence even the Grim Reaper bowed to. Offending either was a recipe for disaster.Butch scoffed at Jordan’s nervous behavior. “Hmph, you won’t talk, huh? Fine, I’ll go there myself.”Butch led his men and barged into the private dining room. Jordan almost lost it as he chased after them, desperately shouting, “Butch, please stop! You can’t afford to offend the people in that room!”Smack!Butch and slapped Jordan, sending him sprawling to the ground. Simultaneously, he pointed at one of his subordinates and thundered, "You keep an eye on him!"He then turned his attention to the private room and told his men to kick the door in. Butch barged into the room, yelling as his subordinates surrounded the area, “Get lost, all of you! I’m taking over this place!”Serena and her employees were shocked when the tattooed individuals barged in.
Dickson’s sudden outburst caused the private dining room to fall silent.Several employees grabbed Dickson's clothes, urging him to sit down. However, Dickson shouted, "Don't pull me! I refuse to keep it in anymore. Who is Xayne, anyway? A deadbeat. Why does he get to be Ms. Serena's husband?“A guy like him will only…hinder Ms. Serena. I just can't stand it anymore. Ms. Serena could have a better future if not for him. He's why the other employees hate Ms. Serena, and you all know it. Xayne, don't you feel ashamed as a man!"Xayne remained composed as he raised an eyebrow and looked at Dickson.When Xayne stood up, Serena grabbed his hand and shook her head, saying, “Xayne, don’t. He’s had too much to drink. That’s why he’s talking nonsense.”She was worried, constantly giving Dickson pleading looks. Still, the latter seemed oblivious to her efforts.Xayne raised his glass, downed it in one gulp, and then looked at Dickson. "I know you like my wife. I’ll take your words as conce
Xayne explained, "I don't have that kind of money. Maybe Mr. Jordan is just being generous. Right, Mr. Jordan?"Jordan smiled, saying, "Exactly. I heard you were coming to our restaurant, so I came to welcome you personally."Serena was skeptical and wanted to ask more questions, but her employees were getting impatient. Reluctantly, she let go of her curiosity and led everyone into Heavenly Delights.Everyone was in awe of the luxurious decor as they entered. The restaurant was magnificent, making the employees feel like they were in a palace. Moreover, no other customers were in the restaurant, creating a peaceful atmosphere.Suddenly, the patiently waiting waitstaff set off confetti cannons. It was quite a spectacle. The staff bowed and declared in unison, “Welcome, Ms. Serena and co!”Serena and her team were amazed. Some even took out their phones to capture the moment. With Jordan leading the way, they soon arrived at the most expensive and luxurious private room in Heavenly
Several tattooed men approached Luke, making him feel sheer despair. He begged on his knees for mercy, crying, “Mr. Jordan, please spare me!”However, what followed was a symphony of painful cries. The three tattooed men pinned Luke to the ground and continuously kicked him. Then they pulled him up and delivered a barrage of punches.The ten-minute beating left Luke disfigured and sprawled on the ground. He was covered in blood with a swollen face with missing teeth.Jordan glanced down and then turned to Xayne. "Sir, was that to your satisfaction?"Xayne frowned and replied, “I didn’t ask you to resort to violence. Aren’t you tarnishing my reputation by doing this?”Jordan became wide-eyed and slapped himself twice before saying, “I’m sorry! It was my oversight. Rest assured, I’ll take full responsibility and leave you out of it.”The employees who witnessed Luke’s beating became even more apprehensive of Xayne.Not wanting to waste any more time, Xayne stated, “I'm here to boo
Luke nodded and bowed with respect as Jordan approached. Luke said, “Mr. Jordan, it’s not that we couldn’t handle it. It’s just that the guy was too strong. We run a business here and don’t provoke our customers.“Still, we never expected this person to disregard your authority and resort to violence.” Luke distorted the truth and victimized himself.Jordan was furious, scoffing before asking, “Where is he?”Luke pointed toward Xayne, who was playing with Coco. Luke said, “That’s him, Mr. Jordan. He's the one who started the fight!"Jordan only saw Xayne’s back and could no longer contain his fury. He waved for his men, and they approached Xayne. Jordan roared, “So, you’re the one causing trouble at my restaurant?!”However, Xayne turned with a smile, hands tucked in his pockets as he casually remarked, “Jordan, it’s been a few days since we last met. How’s everything with your family business?”Jordan’s whole world crumbled when he saw Xayne’s face. The former staggered backward
