Ice and Fire novel Chapter 816

It was eight o'clock in the evening.

A waiter walked towards Greg as soon as he entered the bar.

"Good evening, Mr. Xiao," the waiter greeted politely.

Greg simply nodded. He already guessed that Lawrence sent this waiter since he was in charge of this bar.

"Mr. Lawrence Chu is waiting for you in the room. Please follow me," said the waiter while guiding him to VIP area.

Without any question, Greg followed the waiter into the VIP room.

The flickering neon lights and the noisy music played by the DJ in the bar did not bother Greg at all. Nothing even seemed to catch his attention.

There were only a few people in the VIP area especially in the corridor. The waiter didn't say much while they were heading to Lawrence's room.

As they reached the door, the waiter stopped. He turned to Greg and said,"Mr. Chu is inside waiting for you. Since my duty is done, I shall take my leave now."

As soon as he finished his words, the waiter strode back to the bar.

Greg waited until the waiter was out of his sight. Then he knocked at the door. No one responded so he pushed the door and walked in.

When he was inside, he saw Lawrence sitting on the sofa. There was a glass of wine in his hand. Beside him was Mike who caught Greg's attention. Greg couldn't help but stare at him.

Mike, with a cigarette in his hand, felt Greg's presence. He looked up and greeted Greg when he recognized who he was,"Hello. I'm Mike Chu."

As Mike introduced himself, Greg had confirmed that his guess was right when he for the first time saw the man sitting beside Lawrence. So he greeted him back,"Hi. I'm Greg Xiao."

Greg then turned to Lawrence and called out his name in a low voice,"Lawrence."

However, Lawrence just ignored him and kept on drinking his wine. His gaze was in somewhere not in Greg's direction.

Greg who was still standing, hopelessly had no idea what to do next because of Lawrence's silence and neglect. He sensed an air of a king from Lawrence who just quietly sat on the sofa.

Mike was suddenly became aware of the awkward situation. He glimpsed at Lawrence only to find out that he was still indifferent. So he just said to Greg,"Please sit down, Greg. Take your time."

Greg once heard from Violet that Mike was her brother's closest friend and the two always shared unanimous views about everything.

Greg sat down on the sofa next to them but still looking at Lawrence.

Mike knew that Greg came to Lawrence for some private matters so he said to him,"Greg, please feel free to tell Lawrence anything you want to say as if I'm not here."

Greg nodded to him in response. In fact, Mike's presence didn't really bother him because obviously, Mike already had full knowledge about all the issues.

Lawrence turned to Mike and asked,"Did you bring the man here?"

"Of course, I did. Do you want him to be here now?" Mike asked. He immediately got the answer from Lawrence's grave expression so he took out his phone and called his men.

When the line got through, Mike said to the man in the other line,"Take him here."

Mike hung up the moment he finished his order.

Greg was quiet upset to see Lawrence and Mike's actions. 'What's going on? Who else is coming?' he thought.

Before Greg could get any answers from them, two men in black opened the door and dragged a middle-aged man in.

"Boss, here he is," one of the two men said to Mike.

"Okay, you can go now," Mike answered while glaring at the middle-aged man.

As soon as they heard their boss' order, the men let go of the man and turned to walk out of the room.

The middle-aged man just stood there, trembling. His head was lowered but he occasionally glimpsed at the three men in front of him. Based on his impression, the man sitting in the middle seemed to be cruel and cold. Despite his quietness, the middle-aged man roughly guessed that he was the leader among the three.

"What are you doing now?" Mike asked impatiently. "Do you want me to introduce you to them so you can be friends with them?" He added harshly with his brutal eyes glaring at the man.

"Of course not!" the man immediately answered.

Then he looked at Mike with pleading eyes,"Sir, please let me go. I haven't done any illegal deeds for years. You can check into that if you want."
