Chapter 338
“He must have taken advantage of our family’s connections!”
“Didn’t you see? My grandson knows a guard called Marcel, so he must have been riding off my grandson’s
coattails!”
“Let’s go in!”
The crowd seemed to accept that explanation.
Zeke must have convinced the guards that he was from the Hinton family, forcing the guards to act in favor of
them.
No wonder the Hintons are amongst the nobility in the Riverdale District!
However, just as the rest of the Hinton family was about to enter the hotel, the bespectacled man stuck out an arm
to stop them. “Halt! You’re not allowed to enter.”
“Why?” Aaron growled, glaring at the man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You don’t have the right to enter,” the man answered.
The crowd burst into laughter.
What a comeback!
They had theorized that Zeke got in by lying that he was part of the Hinton family, but looking at how the Hintons
were barred from entering, that theory had collapsed on itself.
Aaron’s face turned beet red.
The bespectacled man led Lacey and her family into the hotel as the rest of the crowd followed them closely.
They were more or less convinced that Zeke was the one who took over as the ruler of the Riverdale underworld,
seeing how well the bespectacled man treated Lacey and her family.
He even apologized for causing trouble to them!
Nancy turned to Lacey and asked quietly,” Lacey, is he really the leader of the Riverdale underworld?”
“Something feels wrong, doesn’t it? Isn’t he just a beggar?”
Lacey did not have the answers to Nancy’s questions. “I-I don’t know... Zeke had been in Oakheart City the whole
time.”
“Wait... he did pop by to visit Riverdale District a couple of days ago, but he was just here to pick someone up. He
left as quickly as he came.”
“There’s no way he could take down the Riverdale underworld in just two days!”
“Never mind, let’s just ask Zeke himself.”
Nancy nodded. “Yeah, something smells fishy here.”
“That beggar is definitely not the leader of the underworld.”
“Nancy...why do you dislike him so much?” Lacey asked, exasperated.
“I just despise him!” Nancy huffed. “I can’t believe a man like him would resort to begging! He’s nothing compared
to my hero.”
“Alright...” Lacey sighed.
Meanwhile, T-Rex was chased out of the private room after he escorted Zeke inside.
Zeke seemed reluctant to have other people in the room during his family meals.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moment T-Rex came out of the room, he bumped into Marcel - a guard in the hotel.
He was the guard that Michael asked for help just moments ago.
Marcel ran up to him when he saw T-Rex coming out of the room. “Boss, I need to talk to you!”
He had wanted to convince T-Rex to let the Hintons in early so that he could get the funds that Michael promised.
Unfortunately, he did not know that the ‘boss’, who he had been waiting for, was already inside the hotel, while
Aaron and his family were barred from entering.
“Marcel, you came at the right time. I have a task for you,” T-Rex said.
“Take good care of the Hintons later, or else!”
He was referring to Lacey’s family.
However, Marcel thought that ‘the Hintons’ T-Rex meant was the Riverdale Hinton family.
He froze for a second. “What do you mean, Boss? Did they promise some kind of benefits for us?”
“Of course, you dumb mule! They’re our boss’ family members!” T-Rex hollered.
Marcel’s jaw dropped all the way to the floor and was shocked out of his wits.
