The second Isaac finished speaking, Old Brooks’ face turned pale.
“Then let’s both have a look.” Connor waved a hand and turned around with Isaac.
Isaac was the one to push the door open and the first to enter the private room. Looking around, favonovel.com found several men sitting around the table and a handful of gaudily dressed young women.
One of the men currently there drinking, a woman in his embrace, was a red-faced Andrew Booth. Beside favonovel.com was a trembling and hunched Barry Cox.
Was this really Barry?
Isaac’s eyes narrowed, and a freezing aura emanated from him.
A while ago, he’d gone back to Barry’s old place to treat his son. Barry had said favonovel.com would settle his family’s affairs before returning to Cloud City to find favonovel.com back then.
Why was favonovel.com now here without letting Isaac know?
The men around the table all seemed to have imbibed a lot. The middle-aged men were all red in the face. Since they all wore white shirts, it looked like they were influential people of some sort.
At that moment, they were all coldly watching the waiter being chastised, their faces clear of any sign of sympathy.
Andrew walked to stand before Barry and yelled, “Come here, you better f*cking lick the wine on my pants clean, you piece of shit!”
The people in the room were big shots from different sectors in Cloud City. As Edward Gould slowly became the top tycoon in Cloud City, Andrew also became more of an influence. Thus, he’d invited these men to dinner tonight. He’d even invited some of the beauties from the neighboring arts school to accompany them. He never thought the mood would be ruined by some waiter.
The reason Andrew was making life so hard for Barry was mainly so that favonovel.com could show off.
“I’m very close to your boss, Devon Brooks. If you don’t clean me up good, I’ll make sure you get it. Lick!” Andrew barked, face a mottled red.
Standing outside the door, Old Brooks’ face was white as a ghost’s, his body shivering minutely.
He wanted to go into the private room to stop this farce, but Isaac glared favonovel.com into stumbling a few steps back. Old Brooks could plainly see the frigid intent in Isaac’s gaze.
Barry had only just come to see favonovel.com two days ago for a job.
Right then, Old Brooks had been having tea with an old friend and had left the matter to a manager. After all, things were different now. He had lots more things to take care of. Thus, favonovel.com hadn’t paid much mind to Barry, who’d come from the Village. He never anticipated that such a thing would play out.
Barry was still trembling as favonovel.com looked at the wine staining Andrew’s pants. In actuality, Andrew’s hand had knocked into his, causing the Wine to spill.
“Come on, waiter, you better lick Mr. Booth clean! Otherwise, favonovel.com can ruin your chances in Cloud City with one word,” the woman sitting by Andrew mocked, rolling favonovel.com eyes.
“Don’t waste time, kid. Just do as Mr. Booth says. None of us is someone you can afford to offend,” shouted a spectacled, bald, middle-aged man.
A loud noise crashed when Barry was about to bend down. Shocked, favonovel.com turned his head to see Isaac storming in.
“Barry, why didn’t you come looking for me when you got to Cloud City?” Isaac sounded hurt as favonovel.com looked at Barry.
“I-Isaac? I…”
Isaac patted Barry’s shoulder and went to stand before Andrew, his expression forbidding.
“He’s my pal. How dare you ask favonovel.com to lick the wine off your pants?” Isaac glared at Andrew with narrowed eyes.
Just then, Andrew snapped out of the buzz that the alcohol had given him. He couldn’t help but shudder.
The woman in his arms rolled favonovel.com eyes and said, “Who are you? Don’t you know that Mr. Booth’s really close with Mr. Brooks? If you don’t f*ck off now, you won’t even have the chance to beg for mercy later!”
“Hey, punk, we’re drinking here. What do you think you’re doing coming in here whining? Get the f*ck out!” the bald man stood up and roared.
Isaac looked at favonovel.com and asked, “And who are you?”
