“He’s just another one of my subordinates, so I’ll take care of that for you,” Marcel said.
“I’ll make sure he apologizes to you later on!”
“Let’s go in. Boss will be angry if we waste any more time.”
“Let’s go!” Aaron said, taking a step towards the door.
However, he stopped just after one step.
“Why aren’t you going in, Mr. Hinton?” Marcel asked.
“Why are you rushing us?” Michael snarled.
“We’re the esteemed guests, and you’re just a servant. Open the door for us!”
Marcel froze for a second before his temper threatened to act up.
If they were not in that situation, he would already slap Michael in the face for saying that.
Unfortunately, he was in no position to do so, since it was revealed that the Hintons were relatives of his own boss.
With that, he forced himself to calm down and opened the door for them.
Aaron and his family began their ascent to the private rooms on the second floor.
Marcel had offered to take them there, but Michael rejected his offer.
Just then, Michael caught up with his grandfather and said, “Grandpa, Marcel had been bullying me for a long time now, but I’ve been very tolerant of him.”
“Now that we’re more powerful than ever, I figured that I should get back at him for once.”
Aaron nodded. “Alright, I’m counting on you.”
“His boss would probably not bat an eyelid even if we killed him, since we’re related to his boss after all.”
Michael nodded.
“By the way, Grandpa, who is his boss anyway?”
Aaron pondered over it for a moment before answering, “I think you should try contacting our relatives later on. I’m not very sure of it either.”
“Alright,” Michael answered enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, in a private room on the second floor.
Lacey and her family, as well as Nancy, had their eyes trained on Zeke.
Zeke felt uneasy being stared at like that. He took a sip of tea and asked, “Do you have any questions for me?”
Nancy piped up first. “I have one.”
“Are you the mysterious person who dismantled the Riverdale underworld forces?”
“Were they waiting for you the whole time?”
Zeke nodded. “That’s right.”
“Why didn’t you say earlier?” Nancy asked.
“I did, didn’t I? I said no one’s going in until I do.”
Everyone fell silent.
No one took his words seriously then.
“Zeke, from what I knew, you only stayed in Riverdale for a couple of days.”
“How did you conquer Riverdale in just two days?”
“Two days? Oh, you’re so wrong,” Zeke said.
“I only took two hours.”
Only two hours had elapsed from him being led to the abandoned jetty by the Callums to the Sole Wolf arriving to take away the five hundred people there.
Nancy was unconvinced. “Stop boasting! You’re going to get busted one day!”
“The only person who can take down the underworld forces in two hours would be my hero!”
Zeke began to get impatient. He was starting to consider if he should just reveal his true identity to her just to shut her up.
Actually, I’m the hero you’re talking about. A million soldiers bowed before me that day, for I had gotten rid of the underworld forces...
Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and Aaron waltzed in with his family.
Lacey and company were shocked.
Weren’t they stopped at the entrance? How did they barge in?
Zeke looked like he could explode with anger.
What the hell is T-Rex doing?
