The Legendary Man novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 The Wrong Person

Pleased by how humble Oliver was acting, he responded with a nod and answered with his chest puffed out, “Yes!”

Oliver carried on with the conversation as if he was nothing more than the young man’s slave. “May I know the model of the car you’re purchasing? Is it one of the globally limited edition cars?”

Audrey got ahead of Charles and answered on his behalf, “No! Mr. Goldstein has gotten himself the cheapest sports car we have to offer in an attempt to live a humble lifestyle.”

“The one with the cost of two million? Mr. Goldstein, we’re currently having a buy-one-free-one promotion! Since you’re purchasing a sports car worth two million, we’ll give you another car of a similar value! Alternatively, you can opt to purchase a car that’s going to cost four million at the price of two million!”

Charles asked, “Huh? Why have I never heard of such a promotion?”

“It’s the first day of an exclusive event!” Oliver made something up to keep the young man in the dark. In truth, there was no such promotion.

It was something he came up with to please this important guest of Harrison’s. Hence, he couldn’t stop himself from perspiring when he thought of the potential loss due to the favor he had to do for the young man.

“If that’s the case, I’ll get myself a sports car that’s going to cost me four million!” Charles thought it was an absolute steal and completely disregarded his earlier words about living a humble lifestyle.

If I have more than fifty million to purchase the freaking globally limited edition sports car, I won’t even hesitate to bring that home with me!

“Sure, I’ll send someone to get everything ready at once!” Oliver turned around and instructed Audrey, “Stop standing around and register the car Mr. Goldstein needs!”

She leaned over and whispered her question, “Mr. Sandwith, why have I never heard of that promotion?”

Oliver glared at her. “Duh, isn’t it obvious? It was merely something I made up to flatter this important guest of ours! Hurry up and sort everything out! He’s someone the boss regards highly! Make sure nothing goes wrong, or else I’m feeding you to the fishes in the Goda River!”

“Mr. Sandwith, he doesn’t seem like the real deal at all!” She had encountered countless similar customers from a relatively well-off family like Charles. Most of them were there to get the cheapest car the store had to offer to fulfill their sense of pride.

“You need to keep that to yourself! Who else could it be apart from him? You’re not trying to tell me the man with an electric scooter is the one we’re looking for, are you?”

Glaring at her after his rhetorical question, he urged, “Why aren’t the cops here yet? Check on them and see if they’re nearby! Get this wimp out of my sight as soon as possible!”

Oliver was infuriated at the presence of Jonathan in the showroom—he thought it was an embarrassment to such a high-end store. Others might consider their store a second-rate car dealership or something with Jonathan in the store.

“Yes, Mr. Sandwith!”

She paid no heed to Jonathan and returned to Charles’ side with a pretentious smile. “Mr. Goldstein, please come with me!”

As he joined her at the showroom for sports cars with values of four million, he found a suitable one in a few minutes.

When they were about to seal the deal, Oliver received a call from Harrison. Consequently, he sprang up from his seat when he was about to have another sip of tea.

Instead of glaring at Jonathan, he instinctively bowed and greeted the man on the other end, “Hello, Boss?”
