Translator: 549690339

In his early years, Irving Harris’s business was anything but glorious, but after expanding over the years, he became much more restrained and no longer ran afoul of the law.

However, many still believed he was involved in his old trades, while in truth, Irving Harris had accumulated substantial resources and was now involved in various industries, far from the person he once was.

With the Leopold Family recently taking a hit, Irving Harris’s major concern had been eliminated, and he was free from any further worries!

After lying low for decades, he could finally raise his eyebrows and breathe easily, making a bona fide appearance among the people.

Leaning on a gold-inlaid cane, Irving Harris approached unhurriedly, emanating a murderous aura.

Even from a distance, Miguel Abbott couldn’t help but feel an immense pressure weighing down on his heart.

He knew very well that today’s events were no coincidence!

Rather, they were the culmination of Irving Harris’s long-premeditated plan!

And today’s events would, in all likelihood, not end well.

“Abbott Brother, long time no see!”

After entering the Aqua Pearl, Irving Harris outstretched his hand, and immediately an employee pushed a wheelchair over to him.

Sitting down, he turned to Miguel Abbott with a very natural smile on his face. “01′ Bro Irving, it’s been many years, but you’re still as robust as ever!”

Miguel Abbott also quickly stood up and responded with a joking smile.

Although the atmosphere was as tense as drawn bows and ready crossbows, the two appeared more like old friends catching up after many years. “Indeed! I know many are eager to see me dead, and Abbott Brother, you’re one of them, ”

Pointing at Miguel Abbott with a shake of his head and a chuckle, Irving Harris continued, “But alas, I’m only growing stronger with time, and have even become the nightmare of some.”

His gaze suddenly turned icy cold.

It might be a good time to settle the scores that had accumulated between them over the years.

“What are you saying, Ol’ Bro Irving! I truly wish you live a long and prosperous life,”

Miguel Abbott’s heart skipped a beat, but he kept up a welcoming smile.

He certainly hoped for Irving Harris’s death, for the grudge between them was beyond reconciliation!

Even after so many years, each was still seeking revenge.

“We’ll settle our matters slowly today! But I heard that your friend hit one of my employees, and I need to inquire about that first,”

Irving Harris pointed to Davonte Cook and asked coldly, “Cook, who did it?”

When reporting the incident, Davonte Cook did not hide anything and recounted the details thoroughly.

As his employee, Irving Harris naturally wanted to stand up for Davonte Cook.

It also served to inform everyone that whoever dared to make life difficult for his employees would end up like this!

“Brother, it was him!”

Davonte Cook wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the imprint of a slap apparent on his face.

“What happened! ”

Seeing the fresh injury on Davonte Cook’s face, Irving Harris asked as he wheeled himself over, “Who did this!”

“Brother, I’ve embarrassed you! I wasn’t prepared, and that bastard hit me again!”

Davonte Cook’s face flushed with embarrassment as he spoke.

To show up with five hundred people to settle scores, only to be beaten again!

Where could he put his face? Does he have no sense of shame?

“Huh! Interesting!”

Irving Harris let out a cold chuckle, looking at Julius Reed: ‘Young man, you sure are arrogant!”

After sizing him up, contempt flashed in his eyes.

With such arrogance at a young age, he must be some rich second generation or a distant relative of Octavius.

Accustomed to wielding Octavius’s influence and causing trouble, but today, he had met his match!

Irving Harris was naturally aware of the recent turmoil in Five-river Province. But he was arrogant by nature and had not paid much attention to this young man.

Thus, he was unaware that the youth standing before him was the one stirring up chaos in Five-river Province!

“You think you’re worthy of speaking to me like this?”

Julius Reed walked with his hands clasped behind his back, his face betraying no trace of fear.

On the contrary, the disdain in his eyes was even greater than Irving Harris’s!

This made the long-established Irving Harris feel very uncomfortable.

“Irving, this man is my friend! Whatever the case, I hope you can grant me this favor. Let’s put today’s incident aside for now, you name your price, and as long as I, Miguel Abbott, can afford it, I won’t say no!”

Miguel Abbott stood in front of Julius Reed, his heartbeat quickening.

From the incident of giving money to Julius Reed initially, it was clear that Miguel Abbott was a thorough businessman.

If he could maximize his profit, he did not mind taking some losses.

As long as he could get through today safely and be on guard afterward, spending a lot of money was worth it!

He had been caught off guard today, he would be willing to lose money to avert disaster.

“Ha! Abbott Brother, you are indeed a businessman, never straying from your trade. Look at the injury on my brother’s face, a billion per slap, isn’t that a fair price?”

Irving Harris raised his eyebrows, inwardly feeling some admiration for Miguel Abbott.

Many people, including Cesar Pendleton, would rather die than part with their wealth.

The richer the person, the more they care about money, the less they are willing to spend it.

But Miguel Abbott’s willingness to make painful sacrifices was indeed beyond his expectations.

“A billion? Alright then, let’s round it up!”

Julius Reed stepped forward and fiercely slapped Davonte Cook’s face!

Smack!

The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the Pearl on the Water, and before Davonte Cook could stabilize himself, he received another solid slap!

This time, the force was even stronger!

“Pah!”

Davonte Cook lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

There were even a few teeth mixed in.

Clearly, he had just had his teeth knocked out.

“Kid! Don’t think that having Miguel Abbott to back you up means you can show off in front of me! To tell you the truth, you’re not qualified enough!”

Irving Harris slammed down his wheelchair violently, saying fiercely, “You mess with my brother in front of me, you’re looking for death!”

“Irving, let’s talk this out!”

Miguel Abbott’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat, hitting Davonte Cook in

front of Irving Harris was like slapping Irving Harris in the face!

Especially with so many people watching, if he couldn’t give a satisfying answer to his brothers, what would the staff present think afterward?

Would they still be loyal to him?

“Talk this out?”

Irving Harris chuckled lightly and pointed at Julius Reed, “Brother, today’s incident isn’t about me not giving you face, but about him not giving me face! I’m sorry, please step aside! If you don’t, don’t blame me for turning my face and denying I know you!”

After he finished speaking, his staff immediately began to approach.

“Who would have thought Irving Harris would be one to break his promises!”

Julius Reed shook his head, his face full of disappointment.

“Ha! How have I broken my promise?”

Irving Harris valued his reputation, particularly at such a critical juncture, he aimed to win people over with virtue.

Building a good reputation was necessary to have the right to enter Five-river Province and redistribute the cake.

“You just said, a billion per slap! I gave two slaps, that makes two billion, isn’t that just right?”

Julius Reed said with a smile.

This put Irving Harris in a bit of a dilemma.

His previous statement was just intended to make Miguel Abbott bleed a little.

But now, nobody expected Julius Reed to actually dare to hit someone!

“Alright! Davonte Cook, consider these two billion as compensation for you!

You’re not at a loss!”

Irving Harris looked at Davonte Cook, a cold glint flashing in his eyes..
