Chapter 83
That was who this
Gordon Grayson, son of one of the nation’s heroes Benjamin Grayson!
Everyone was certain that Gordon would become one of the most important people in the country in
the future.
Just then, Harrod was ready to die. His legs wobbled and he fell to the ground.
Bernie did not know what was happening at all and hurried to help his uncle up. “Uncle Harrod! What’s
the matter with you?”
Gordon smiled and shook Chase’s hand. “I had some free time today and happened to run into one of
your men bullying a small cafe owner. I couldn’t stand it, so I gave you a call.
Chase’s expression shifted at once.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPeople like Gordon had very specific ways of talking about things.
Even if something big had happened, it would usually be described as vaguely as possible and then
handled behind doors so everyone would be able to maintain their pride.
Gordon saying something like that pretty much meant that this was a serious matter, and that Chase
would be on his bad side if he did not take care of it.
No one dared to mess with someone with Gordon’s level of authority, let alone go against his words.
Chase understood what had happened after that
He smiled, then looked at Harrod who had crumpled on the floor. “What did you do?”
Harrod did not dare to play dead anymore. He could only pretend to get to his feet shakily, stumbling
over to Chase. “Mister Brigado, it’s my fault. One of my men screwed up really hadly, but I’ve fired him
with immediate effect…”
“Is that it?” As if Chase was that easy to fool.
Things were clearly a lot more serious if Gordon had had to call him.
Harrod’s face was white as a sheet, stuttering but unable to get a word out. He did not dare to say that
Bernie was his nephew but knew that he would not be able to hide it for long. In a fit of panic, he was at
a loss for words.
Just then, Wilbur said, “Let me do the talking.”
“Oh? Who’s this guy here?” Chase asked Gordon,
Gordon replied, “This is Mister Penn. He’s a swom brother of my father.”
“What?” Chase gasped. There were probably less than a handful of people who could say they were
sworn brothers with Master Grayson.
Despite not understanding how Mister Penn was able to have such a relationship with Master Grayson,
Chase understood that this man was truly powerful,
“Oh my. It’s an honor to meet you “Chase shook Wilbur’s hand heartily. “Can you please tell me what
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhappened, so I know what to do?”
Chase had a way of speaking as well, and Wilbur understood his intention at once.
“This guy, Bernie Dorbrook, works at the Weston District food safety department. He refused to pay for
his meal after eating and threatened to get physical with me after I reminded him. He even got his
uncle, Mister Coup here, to come over. Mister Coop got here and was going to arrest me for assault
and hand me over to the authorities. That’s pretty much what happened.”
Chase’s expression darkened at on
He hardly cared about Harrod or Bernie, if he was being honest..
2/2
But to have someone working under him humiliate him like this in front of Gordon Grayson and a friend
of Benjamin Grayson
He was ready to have these bastards lung.
Chase looked at Harrod, who looked like he was going to faint any second, and asked, “Is that true?
