After Nathan, Sofie, and Kylie left, the spectators pointed at Bradley's wet pants and gossiped about him.
It made him so embarrassed and angry that he was filled with murderous intent.
That was when a man in a black suit showed up in front of Bradley.
He stared at the former curiously as he didn't know what the man was doing there.
“My employer would like to speak to you,” informed the man in the suit.
“Huh? Who is your employer?” asked Bradley in a confused tone.
The man in the tuxedo pointed at the spot under a gigantic tree where a luxury black car was hidden in plain sight. In a stoic tone, the man answered, “My employer is Dip Turner of the South.”
Dip Turner!
Bradley's eyes bulged in shock.
He used to be the head of the Turners from the South, and he practically ruled the place. If I remember correctly, he is known as the King of the South. All I know is that he offended a powerful figure and was chased out of the country.
Despite Dip's circumstances, it couldn't diminish his prominent image that had been burned into Bradley's mind.
Bradley would always remember how things were when he was ten years old. His father had brought him to Alberesque for Dip's grand birthday party, which was attended by countless big shots.
Hence, Bradley never imagined that the powerful man from all those years ago would come to the nameless kid that showed up at his party once.
The former was delighted and surprised at the same time. “Is he in the car right now? I'll go greet him right away.”
After saying that, he stood up to make his way to the car that was parked under the tree in the distance.
The man in the suit stopped Bradley, though.
After that, the former shot a look at Bradley's wet pants before calmly saying, “Mr. Turner has time on his hands, so you need not hurry. Perhaps you should change out of your pants first.”
Bradley's face instantly turned red.
