Thomas sneered, pulling out his phone "I'll show you the difference between you and I"
Thomas sent a text before shoving James, Thomas is a second generation heir to his family wealth and knew how to throw is weight around.
James grabbed his bag and began to walk out of the room "since your a second generation, your contacts will definitely try to get me kicked out of college, right?"
Thomas laughed "yes that was the order I gave"
James laughed and walked himself out of the campus. "Hope he gets me kicked out of the college, can't stand these types of people"
Thomas noticed Charlotte walking in shaking her head "Charlotte!, your looking beautiful today"
She ignored him and continued to her seat, Thomas became unpleased seeing how she ignored him.
"Whatever James is holding over you, you dont have to worry anymore he'll won't bother you anymore"
Charlotte chuckled "your mistaken, he holds nothing over me."
"Then why are you being so polite to him?" Thomas couldn't help but ask.
Charlotte looked at him expressionless "only thing you know is your own strength, therefore you have no clue in how to pick your battles. That's why you've already" She chuckled again as the teacher walked in.
Later that evening James was sat at a little restaurant drinking a cup of coffee, thinking of what had happened earlier.
Bang
Platter of food hit the ground, grabbing the attention of the customers. A hoarse voice was heard "this is apart of our territory, and you haven't paid us any fees to be able to be here"
Trembling voice spoke softly "i-i didn't know of any fee's that was supposed to be paid"
The man smiled coldly "it is 50 thousand, you been opened for 4 months so it's 500 thousand with interest"
"W-we don't have that type of money haven't been open for very long to make any profits"
"You got 2 hours to get the money or we will personally close your business for good, or 500 slaps and the debt is paid"
The owner closed his eyes and lowered his head, as the man saw this he began to luagh. Raising his hand to slap the man, just as he striked his hand was grabbed. "Who are you, to dare stop me?"
Everyone in the restaurant was scared seeing the gangsters but looked away going on as nothing happened. "Who are you to intend to hurt someone and extort money form them?" James asked coldly.
"Do you know who I work for?"
"No one important i bet" James was expressionless, talking to the gangsta.
"Men break his legs!" As he spoke no one responded
"I don't care who you walk for. Take your men and leave" James released his wrist, and remained in front of the owner.
The man looked behind him seeing his men slowly getting up holding their heads, the group left quickly.
"T-Thank you for helping but you don't know what you have done"
"Well, you have a good restaurant here" James smiled while looking around
They began talking about the story and why he decided to open in such an area, half an hour went by in a flash.
The restaurant door flung open again panic drenched the owners face seeing a bulky man walk, his aura made everyone chiver in fear. James looked at him noticing the man from earlier standing right beside him.
"So your the man who attacked my men and disturbed my business?"
James remained seated "and you are?"
The owner lent over whispered "he is Julian Carter, he runs this side of the city"
"Oh in that case, today got more interesting" James spoke as he was smiling.
He looked at Julian, standing up out his chair. Julian stood 6 foot, towering over James. Onlookers was rushed out of the restaurant by his men.
"Julian is it? I have a proposal for you, let's fight if I win you work for me and if you win I'll give you 1 million dollars"
Julian was stunned before luaghing mockingly "you must be joking you don't look like you even have 1 cent to your name"
His men began to luagh with Julian.
"Ok, but if you can't pay up then you'll lose your life" a murderous aura came from Julian before he rushed towards James.
Bang
Thunderous echoed through the restaurant, everyone stood there stunned at what they have saw. James landed a hit sending Julian stumbling back before falling onto the ground.
No one expected James to be able to defeat Julian so easy. "You run this section yet you fall so easily. Work for me and I will help you become stronger" James reached his hand out to help Julian up.
Whack
Julian grabbed James hand began pushing him the face.
"You"
whack
"got"
whack
"alot"
whack
"Fight" James was still standing in the same spot with budging a single step speaking to Julian.
Julian stopped his attacks as he began to get scared "who is this monster?"
He took a few steps back "I surrender" forcing these words out of his mouth, Julian bowed. Leaving his men in disbelief "I, Julian pledge my loyalty to you"
"Boss what are you doing?"
"Yeah boss why are you admitting defeat"
"Shut it!, we are no match for him" Julian growled at his men. For he saw that his strength was just a dirt mound underneath James.
"What are your orders Mr James"
James smiled coldly "tell me about this city and who else is in this section"
There was currently a handful of people from different guilds wrestling for control and strength through out the section, but none have succeeded as of yet. James listened to Julian's everybody to get an understanding of what's been happening under the surface.
"Mr James, I'm in charge of this section becuase of my strength but I'm still in the bronze category, so is most of the other guilds here"
James grabbed a pen and paper, writing down a couple of things. "Do this everyday and you'll move to the silver league get your men to do the same"
James began to walk out "sir what about the last three things on the bottom?"
"Just do it" James didn't want to continue talking, so he left straight away.
