Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 268

Howard, on the other hand, just stood still there until the car roared away. His expression clearly reflected his admiration and appreciation for Mr. Brian Long. The assigned task may have been against Brian, but he himself actually quite admired him. After all it was not an easy task for anyone to be as successful as Brian was in A City at the mere age of 25-years-old. He was powerful, successful and a force. Just this fact alone explained why so many people wanted to get rid of him.

Howard smile tacitly, then turned around and got into the car, bidding,"Head straight to the hotel first."

"Howard, he seemed like a tough and scary guy."

"If he was easy to deal with, boss wouldn't have sent us here, would he?" Howard said calmly, his head still recalling Brian's domineering and heavy words.

Such a man was worth a task of this proportion and importance.

Meanwhile, in front of the alley at Molly's house, Brian glanced around with his sharp eyes and gestured Tony to get rid of Edgar's spies before he walked in to meet her.

Steven was not anticipating Brian's arrival even slightly. He didn't even welcome Brian in, but instead just stared at him timidly. "It's so late at the moment. Mr. Brian Long, are you here to meet Molly?" he asked carefully trying to avoid offending Brian and added,"I'm sorry to tell you she is not home right now. She is working at the casino."

"Well actually I came here for you." Brian said in a soft yet intimidating tone, but his expressions remained calm and peaceful.

"Um, for me?" Steven looked at Brian in disbelief and shock.

Brian looked at him with disappointment, then walked to a shriveled tree in the yard. His eyes seemed cold and threatening.

First Steven glanced inside the house, then at Brian who was outside. He then rushed to Brian and obediently asked,"Em... What...brings you here today to meet me? What is that you came for, Mr. Brian Long?"

Brian turned around and examined Steven's nervous expression, a man who was earlier quite ambitious. With an increasingly stern expression, he said,"Just for your personal motivation and reasons, you pushed an innocent girl into the face of danger. Don't you feel an ounce of guilt?"

His interrogation made Steven nervous. He tried to keep himself together and replied in a composed tone,"Mr. Brian Long, I... I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

Brian put on a disdainful look and retorted,"Oh, just so you know I've been invested and interested in this game from the beginning. So I definitely know what you did."

Steven gazed at Brian, with his mouth slightly open in shock. His heart was gripped with sudden panic and fear.

"Steven, I made Molly a promise and before I deliver it, she must always be safe and sound. If she weren't in a good position, I would be unhappy. To be precise I would be very, very unhappy." Brian's voice remained cold and calm, as he went on speaking,"I don't care about the indifference between the old and new parties or even what happened in the past. There is just one thing you must bear in mind and that is not to use Sharon to mess with Justin."

Then after casting one last scornful glance at Steven, Brian turned around to leave, but just then Sharon opened the door and saw them standing across her.

There was no pressing urgency for him to come here in person tonight, but Howard's sudden appearance suggested that Steven must have come to Justin's place this afternoon. Despite his pressing desire to resolve these persistent problems at the earliest, he would never be a pawn in this game. If anything, he was the king, the one who called the shots and controlled the dice.
