The host continued to call her boss.
Boss, the midnight snack restaurant has offended so many famous companies now.
What should we do? What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and leave! was the reply.
So even the event organizers were packing up and quietly leaving the restaurant.
It was as if the midnight snack restaurant had fallen from radiant heights to a pit of
despair. Ed Flower sniggered with satisfaction. How's it going? He asked Aiden.
I told you that offending me wouldn't end well for you. Are you happy now? The
managers at the opening had of course been bribed by him. In their eyes, the midnight
snack restaurant didn't matter much.
They had readily agreed to Ed Flower's plans. As a result, there was a devastating scene
of everyone leaving the midnight snack restaurant. Ed Flower seemed to have foreseen
that the restaurant would not be able to recover from this blow and would quietly retreat
from East Street.
He grinned from ear to ear. But Aiden shook his head mockingly. Flower, have you heard
of a saying about risking it all on a roll of the die? Ed Flower narrowed his eyes.
For some reason, a bad feeling rose in his heart. What do you mean? About risking it all and losing it all. What do you mean? Flowers repeated.
Aiden pointed to the end of the street. Look, what's that? Ed Flower turned his head and
saw a black Mercedes slowly approaching. When it arrived at the midnight snack
restaurant, it stopped.
A tall figure got out. Although he was not wearing a police uniform, a sense of justice
instantly emanated from him. He's Chief Officer Robert, Captain of Bayside District
Police.
I've seen him on TV. Robert had worked with the Bayside District Police for more than 10
years and had solved countless cases, big and small. The people of Bayside saw him as
their guardian.
Those still standing They looked at their hero and were left speechless. As soon as Chief Officer Robert got
out of the car, he came up to Aiden and said apologetically, Dale, I just came back from
somewhere else. I'm sorry for being late.
I didn't delay your ribbon cutting, did I? The crowd's expression changed instantly. It
seemed that Chief Officer Robert was here to cut the ribbon for the Midnight Snack
Restaurant. In other words, the restaurant was not as poor as they had thought.
At the very least, they still had some protection. Ed Flower trembled when he saw the
scene in front of him, but he still managed to look fierce. Isn't he just a security guard?
He asked.
He looks a bit shabby anyways. He told himself that, as he did not break the law, Chief
Officer Robert could do nothing to him, and this bolstered his confidence. Officer Robert's
eyes suddenly narrowed.
After asking Aiden who Ed Flower was, he suddenly said in a deep voice, According to
our sources, a batch of goods that your Nick Shoes business has imported have problems
with quality. You'll need to come back to the station with me later to help with the
investigation. Ed Flower's legs weakened as he said in a trembling voice, Why, why is
this happening? Chief Officer Robert's arrival was like opening the floodgates.
One luxury car after another arrived from the end of the street. From BMWs to Porsches,
from Cadillacs to Ferraris, the dazzling luxury cars filled the road. Slam, slam, slam! After
the sound of doors opening and closing, elegant people with luxurious clothes alighted
from the vehicles.
They were led by Anthony Kaye, a huge smile on his face. The crowd was in uproar, and
there were screams of excitement as if a celebrity had arrived. He must be the boss of
Kaye Group, Anthony Kaye! He looks really young.
The foreigner with the mustache behind him is the chairman of Anima Group, and the
one in the long dress is the president of Lloyd's Electricals. Today, all the big shots of the
business world are here. Anthony Kaye led the line of business execs to Aiden.
He was the first to meet the president of Lloyd's Electricals. He smiled and said, I wasted
a little time in inviting a few friends along to support you. I hope that's alright.
Aiden smiled. His heart was churning. He had not expected Anthony Kaye to invite these
top execs. Any one of them had enormous influence, calling the shots in their area. It was probably
true to say that if something happened to these people here today, half of the world's
economy would collapse. Aiden realized that he had to re-evaluate Anthony Kaye's
network.
He looked like a wealthy man in Bayside, but this was probably only the tip of the
iceberg. Chief Officer Robert, who was standing at his side, seemed also to have realized
something. He had thought there was more to Aiden than met the eye.
The scene he saw today confirmed his guess. Anthony Kaye sensed something was
wrong in the atmosphere. He frowned and asked, what's going on? Aiden told him the
whole thing simply.
Anthony Kaye's face darkened. Aiden was under his protection. If someone dared to
cause trouble for Aiden, it meant that they would not be able to work with him.
Kaye returned to the crowd behind him and said a few words to a few of the top execs,
the bosses of Animal America, and the Ugly Company. The presidents and owners
started to come up to Aiden, apologizing. Mr. Dale, I am so sorry.
My staff have caused you inconvenience. As they spoke, they moved over to their
managers, telling them to hurry up and apologize too. Those managers standing with Ed
Flower never wanted to see the Midnight Snack restaurant again.
The moment they had seen their boss arrive, they were dumbfounded. Now that they
saw that even their boss had to be polite to Aiden, they immediately realized they were
fighting a losing battle. Cold sweat dripped down their backs.
They came over to Aiden and gushed their apologies. Mr. Dale, please don't take offense.
Mr. Dale, we were not thoughtful enough.
We were bewitched by Ed Flower. Don't worry. From now on, we'll cut off contact with
him.
The sudden change in attitude of these managers shocked the crowd. They were
stunned by the subservience of their superiors and by the importance these big shots
attached to Aiden. Countless eyes immediately focused on Aiden.
At this moment, his figure seemed incomparably tall. He even stood out against the top
execs with his dazzling confidence and presence. Ding, everyone's attention.
Charm, plus one. Aura, plus one. Ed Flower's mouth hadn't closed since the moment he
saw Anthony K. His face turned mottled and red with rage when the managers who had
been standing by his side betrayed him.
His whole body was shaking. You! Anthony K. stood in front of Ed Flower. His murderous
