Chapter 284

The rooftop was a banquet hall. Men in black suits stood at the entrance of the elevator lobby. They filled the entire corridor and gave off a daunting presence.

“I’ve been messing around in Toneville since I was a kid. Everyone here shows me some respect.”

Wilbur nodded. People like Ted may not be of high status, but he was well–connected. When people needed something, they would seek help from someone like him. He was the kind of person who could navigate social circles with ease, a jack of all
