Chapter 21
Kingsley was speechless. Even though he was aware that his car was lousy, he was rather unhappy with the way Kayla talked to him and refused to move his car. Feeling annoyed, she slammed on this car and exclaimed, "I'm going to alert the security guards if you don't leave!"
"What's wrong, Kayla?" Just then, a young man dressed in formal clothes that looked well-groomed stepped forward with a lustful expression on his face. This man was Caleb Summers, Randy's second eldest son.
"Mr. Summers, this man insists on parking his lousy car here, which is unsightly. I've asked him to leave, but he refuses to do so!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
As Caleb's attention was on Kayla's curves earlier on, he didn't notice the car parked in front of his house. Once he turned his attention away from her, he saw the car and felt a jolt of anger. "Hey, today is my father's fiftieth birthday banquet, so you'd better move your car. If it obstructs the banquet, you'll be dead meat!"
When he heard that, Kingsley got down from the car and slammed the door shut, causing specks of dust to fly off. "Are all these people here to celebrate Randy Summers' birthday? He must be a big shot."
While Caleb covered his nose and mouth, he fanned the dust away and said annoyedly, "Who are you to call my father by his full name?"
"I'd like to visit the mansion and wish Mr. Summers a happy birthday," said Kingsley with a faint smile as he looked at the other man.
"Hah, do you think that anyone can enter the Summers Residence? Get lost now, you buffoon!" Caleb shot a look of contempt at Kingsley.
Just then, many well-dressed guests started gathering around, criticizing Kingsley contemptuously. "Why is this indigent man causing a scene here? Doesn't he know what this place is? He's even talking about wanting to enter the mansion—how presumptuous of him! It's disgusting to see this kind of low- level garbage, and the security guards should just take him away."
Meanwhile, Kayla crossed her arms and chided, "Did you hear them? You're just a piece of garbage, so get out of here with your lousy car!"
"That's right, you should leave while I'm in a good mood!" Caleb smirked as he hugged Kayla before adding, " Someone as poor as you isn't worthy of celebrating my father's birthday. I doubt that you can even produce a decent birthday present."
Kayla was enraged by Kingsley's attitude, so she whined and said, "Let's stop talking nonsense with a sc*mbag like him and just call the security guard!"
"Alright." Just as Caleb was about to wave his hand to summon a security guard over, a voice in the crowd was heard saying, "I'll bring him in." The next moment, a middle-aged man in a black suit appeared among the crowd.
As soon as Caleb saw him, he immediately retracted his hand that was placed on Kayla's bottom and greeted respectfully, "Mr. Tanner."
The Tanner Family was the most affluent family in the Northern District of Qustia. The middle-aged man
who exuded a noble vibe was Gavin Tanner, the rightful successor of the Tanner Family.
However, he wasn't there for the birthday banquet since Randy wasn't worthy of it in the first place. Instead, he was there for a business meeting with the man, and it just so happened that their meeting clashed with the banquet.
Since he knew who Gavin was, Caleb asked with a puzzled expression, "Mr. Tanner, this man is merely a pauper. Why would you want to bring him in?"
"Are you questioning my decision?" Gavin glared at him coldly.
"I wouldn't dare to—" Caleb denied. He was so frightened that he had to bend over slightly as his legs were shaking.
Gavin ignored him, turned toward Kingsley, and said, "You can follow me into the Summers Residence, my friend."
"Why? Who are you, and why are you helping me?" asked Kingsley. He seemed to think that there was a motive behind Gavin's actions.
Everyone in the crowd gasped when they heard Kingsley's words. This man was brazen enough to speak to Mr. Tanner in such a way!
Caleb smirked and thought to himself, This brazen piece of garbage even dares to be disrespectful toward Mr. Tanner. He's digging his own grave!
Everyone in the crowd had the same thought, for they knew that the Tanner Family had the
unimaginable authority since they possessed the Northern Draken Tag. Once the Northern Draken Tag was released, everyone within the underworld had to obey them regardless of their ranks.
Much to everyone's surprise, Gavin wasn't angry at all. Instead, he replied, "I'd like to befriend you since you seem familiar."
Everyone was taken aback by his words. "Oh my, why would Mr. Tanner want to befriend him? Is that poor man even worthy of that?"
As everyone looked at Kingsley with envy, he shrugged and replied, "Alright, I shall do you the honor."
Do Mr. Tanner the honor? Everyone's jaws dropped as they couldn't believe how brazen Kingsley was.
However, Kingsley didn't see any issues with that as he was Ares, the God of War. A normal man like Gavin should be honored that he was willing to befriend him!
As Gavin and Kingsley walked into the mansion, Caleb said sulkily, "How did that garbage get so f*cking lucky?"
"Mr. Summers, we shall let him make a fool out of himself later on at the banquet. By then, Mr. Tanner would know what kind of a man he is!"
"You're right!" Caleb squinted his eyes sullenly before continuing, "I've been trying to please Mr. Tanner for so long, but I've failed to do so. How can he succeed on his first try? I'll teach this sc*mbag a lesson today!"
