Chapter 223

"Mr. Sanders! What a surprise to see you here!"

Leah and Ron were getting bored of the party when they heard the voice of a man calling out to Ron excitedly. The man walked up to the pair, who were seated on a sofa, and stood before them.

Ron was the leader of a notorious gang in Linkville, and he had control over two-thirds of the entertainment establishments operating in the city. Naturally, some of the people among the guests were eager to get acquainted with Ron. Most of them were interested in making money through the entertainment business, and they would have to get Ron’s approval first to do that.

There was a flash of annoyance in Ron’s eyes as he kept his gaze down. He hated this type of socializing the most.

"Mhm." He remained seated with liis legs crossed. Then, he raised a brow and asked bluntly, "What's your deal?"

"Oh, no! I just wanted to offer my greetings when I noticed that you were here. Mr. Sanders." The man replied smilingly. It was clearly not his first time dealing with a cold, indifferent response like the one coming from Ron.

Then, Ron waved his hand dismissively. "You're done, right? You can go now."

The man's smile faltered slightly upon receiving such a frigid response from him. However, he swiftly decided to keep the feelings of dissatisfaction to himself as he was waiy of Ron's status and influence.

The man smiled warmly at Ron again as he reminded himself inwardly of the reason why he was there. He spoke in a respectfill tone, "Mr. Sanders. I'd like to ask a favor from you. It's about the bar on West Street..."

All along. Ron had given his men the authority to run and manage those establishments, so they were more well-versed than him in how the industry works. He had no intention of changing that for the sake of helping someone out for a favor.

With an irritated look in liis eyes. Ron lifted liis head and got to liis feet. "Sony, I need to pee. I'm going to use the bathroom."

The man was rendered speechless at that very instant.

I've dealt with difficult people many times before, but this is the first time I'm meeting someone who's impenetrable.

Still, it's not like I have any other options left. I can't possibly force him to stay when I need a favor from him.

"Of course! Nature calls! Go ahead. Mr. Sanders. We can talk later after you're done." The man took a few steps back to make way.
