Chapter 1273
1273 Courting Death
This group of people charged into the restaurant furiously with steel rods and other weapons in hand, instantly scaring all the customers in the lobby. A huge ruckus broke out.
Seeing that the situation was amiss, the lobby manager hurried over to stop them. “What do you want to do? We’ve already called the police. Don’t create trouble in the restaurant!”
The young man in the lead walked over. He was clad in a casual attire of luxury brands, but there was an obvious footprint on his chest. His eyes red and full of murderous intent, he stared at the manager. “Where is Lucas Gray?”
Dumbfounded, the manager stared at the young man and said, “You… you’re that streamer whose account got deleted.”
!!
The young man in the lead was Chace, who had just fallen out with Lucas at the entrance of the restaurant.
Earlier, Luke and Chace had argued at the entrance for a long time.
In particular, after Chace’s account was deleted, he broke down and lashed out at Lucas. At the time, the manager had been standing beside the entrance, so he had heard everything clearly.
But the moment Chace heard the manager say that his account had been deleted, he snapped and slapped him hard in the face.
“Damn it! How dare you say that my account was deleted? I’m a famous streamer with almost five million followers, and I make more money in a month of streaming than your annual salary!” Chace had just lost his account and reputation, so he was exceptionally sensitive at this moment.
Bringing up his deleted account struck a sour chord in Chace, who felt that the manager was provoking him on purpose.
The manager was speechless, but he gritted his teeth and said, “Please leave immediately! The Parkers’ Hampton Restaurant is not a place where you can cause trouble. If things blow up, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
“Damn it!” The tall and strong young man with green hair next to Chace immediately kicked the manager to the floor.
“Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?! Isn’t this just some lousy restaurant? Can your backer compare to mine? All it takes is one call from me for dozens of people to come here and tear this place down!” the young man said arrogantly.
The manager sneered. “You don’t know your place! People like you can’t afford to offend the Hampton Restaurant!”
The manager was naturally well aware of who the owner of the restaurant was. The Parkers were now the family that was second only to the eight top families of DC. How could they allow a few gangsters to cause trouble here?
Unfortunately, almost all the restaurant security guards had been arranged to stand guard at the entrances and exits on the top floor due to the arrival of distinguished guests, and there were only two on the first floor. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed these gangsters to enter the restaurant.
At this moment, some vigilant staff had already reported the matter, but it would take at least a minute or two for people to come downstairs.
“Damn it. How dare you be stubborn with me? Beat him up!” the young man ordered furiously.
More than ten thugs immediately raised the steel rods in their hands and began hitting the manager.
“Stop! Stop hitting us! I know where the person you’re looking for is. I’ll take you there!” a waiter frantically shouted when he realized that someone might die.
“You should have said so earlier. F*ck, what a waste of our time!”
The young man finally let go of the manager and stormed upstairs with his Chace and his subordinates under the lead of the waiter.
At the same time, in the private room on the top floor, Kenneth received a call and had a drastic change of expression. “What did you say?! Someone actually dared to barge in here to cause trouble? How impudent! Get people to chase them out immediately! Wait, what did you say? They said they’re looking for Mr. Gray? Beat them up and drag them away!”
Lucas looked at Kenneth and asked with a frown, “What’s going on? Did someone come here to confront me?”
Kenneth replied, “Yes, Mr. Gray. Someone downstairs reported that a streamer asked about your location. I’m afraid he has ill intentions.”
Hearing the word streamer, Lucas immediately knew who the troublemaker was.
“Heh, I planned to let him off, but I didn’t expect that he would court death himself!” Lucas sneered. “Kenneth, tell your subordinates not to chase them out and bring the leader here.”
Kenneth naturally obeyed Lucas’s orders. “Yes!”
Then he made some arrangements over the phone.
Damon, Edmund, and the others immediately looked displeased.
They had finally gotten the chance to chat with Lucas, but some ignorant people came to ruin things. What a killjoy.
If Lucas hadn’t personally asked to bring the troublemaker here, they would definitely have taught these people who had the audacity to bother Lucas a lesson!
Soon, the door of the King’s Room was suddenly pushed open from outside.
Chace charged into the private room impatiently. When he saw Lucas sitting calmly, he immediately looked agitated and furious and pointed at Lucas. “Mr. Harper, this punk is Lucas Gray!”
The Mr. Harper he was referring to was the green-haired young man who followed closely behind him into the private room.
Chace glowered at Lucas and shouted arrogantly, “Lucas Gray, you bastard! Weren’t you very arrogant outside just now? You even messed with me and caused my account to be deleted. Watch how I’ll get revenge on you!”
Then he pointed at the green-haired young man beside him. He said proudly, “Do you know who this man standing next to me is? He is Mr. Harper, the general manager of the esteemed Kenneth Media Agency Co.!
“I’m the streamer with the most followers and engagement and who makes the most money in the company. By ruining my streaming career, you’ve caused not only me heavy losses but also the company. Mr. Harper won’t let you off!”
Harper raised his head high and glanced at Lucas with contempt. “Lucas Gray, I can’t be bothered to waste my breath with you. Anyway, you’ve ruined our agency’s most lucrative streamer and caused us to suffer heavy losses. Tell me, shouldn’t you compensate me for all the negative impact?”
“Even if I give you a discount, you should compensate me at least ten million dollars! If you don’t, I’ll have someone skin you alive and sell all your organs!”
The two of them were extremely conceited, so much so that they failed to realize that their underlings hadn’t followed them in. They even thought that they were waiting quietly outside for orders!
When Kenneth heard that they were from Kenneth Media Agency Co., he immediately grimaced and wished he could kill them.
