The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 30

A criminal 

In less than a second, security came rushing towards Elijah and this dude because of the commotion this guy was creating, and Matt quickly stood in a defensive position, ready to take care of whoever dared to attack his boss if things went awry. 

“What is going on here?” The security guard asked angrily as he stopped right next to Elijah. 

“This thief stole someone’s invitation to the League private club and is using it to get access and benefits of the membership. I suggest that you arrest him!” The guy barked, pointing an accusing finger at Elijah. 

“Sir, you are.” 

“We all know he’s Melina’s, cheating, good for nothing, ex-stay-at-home husband. There’s no way he can afford to get into such a club… Hell, I have been trying to get into that club for years now.” 

“Just-” 

And you think this idiot here can get in?! He must have stolen that from someone else or he used a fake one. Either way, I demand the arrest of this criminal!” Frowning, Matt clutched his fist as he glared at the man, then mumbled beneath his breath,” Who is this dickhead calling, ‘Idiot?’ Criminal?’ Haha, does he think I would not knock the shit out of him for disrespecting my boss just because we are in public?!” People started whispering amongst themselves as they watched the scene unfold with wide eyes and that only hyped this dude up more. 

Shaking his head and taking a deep breath, the security looked at the guy and said, “We would like to see this matter resolved as much as you do, but we need you to calm down now, and let the receptionist check the records.” “What’s the need of checking when it already proves that this man has the card, and he is not qualified to have such a membership! You should be investigating this matter and toss this scum out before he does more than steal a card.” The fellow stated with an angry sneer. 

Deciding that he had had enough of this piece of garbage speaking nonsense about his boss, Matt couldn’t wait any longer and stepped forward, but Elijah gave him a side-eye, warning him to stand down. 

With a restless look in his expression, the guy continued loudly, “You are wasting time here, why don’t you just go ahead and put this thief behind bars? It might save us all some trouble.”
