Heston heard this and became silent. After hesitating for a moment, he said, the things I
asked you to do, are they all settled? The man laughed. Don't worry about that.
It's just like last time. Three pills. If tonight's plan works, Mia will be in your pocket.
Heston snorted and said, if it weren't for that brat meddling in other people's business
earlier today, Mia would already be in my arms. Call Pierce later. Once the plan has
succeeded, you'll get your rewards.
The man chuckled and said, thank you, boss. But boss, that kid and his friends at the
other table are a little tricky. We have to think of a way to get rid of them first.
Heston said with a cold smile, Grant Hartley is a smart man. He won't offend these
criminals. As for that kid, could a child like that really be a threat? The other man replied,
if that's really the case, then you'll definitely get what you want tonight.
When the time comes, the deal will be done. And once you enter Olive Industries. Heston
laughed too.
Little did he know, in the corner of the restroom, an iPhone was slowly floating. The
conversation between the two was recorded without missing a single word. Not long
after, Heston and his friend came back out to the table.
Keith took the phone from under the table and lowered the volume. After listening to it
for a while, a cold smile crept over his face. Grant asked curiously, Sir, are you listening
to music? There's a Lupe Fiasco show on tonight.
Do you want me to book tickets? Keith smiled and sugar said, I appreciate your kindness,
but I think there'll be a good show here tonight. It might even be better than a concert.
Let's wait and see.
The four muscular men looked at each other in confusion. A moment later, four black
cars screeched to a halt outside. More than 10 gangsters jumped out and barged into the
diner.
One of the gangsters in the front yelled, Yo, get us some food. Each of the gangsters had
the outline of a long or bulky object under their jackets. They looked like various kinds of
weapons.
When the other diners saw them, they were all scared out of their wits. They
disappeared from the diner like a wisp of smoke without even waiting to pay their bills.
Apart from Mia's table and Keith's table, no one else was left.
The waiter cursed under his breath, but he didn't dare disobey. And he said with a smile,
May I know what you would like to eat? What do you want to eat? The hoodlum shouted.
You really need to ask good beer and good food now.
The thug banged his fist on the table and continued. And let me tell you, there's more of
us coming later. We'll take care of your diner today so everyone else can leave.
The waiter was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He braced himself and
walked to Mia's table. He forced a smile and said, I'm really sorry about this, but you
heard what the gentleman said.
And don't worry about the bill. You guys should just leave here ASAP. Mia frowned and
sighed.
She took out a few hundred dollars from her purse and put them on the table. She
looked at Heston and said, forget it. Let's go.
Heston smiled confidently at her. He stood up and said to the gangsters, May I know who
your boss is? I'm friends with Big Mo from the south side. It's rare for us to have a class
reunion.
So can you save us some trouble and go eat at the restaurant next door? Save you some
trouble? The gangster smashed Heston onto the table and shouted, you asshole, you
think because you know Big Mo, you get special treatment. So what if you know him? Big
Mo is nothing. At this moment, another gangster beside him pointed at Mia and said,
Hey, you see that? This chick's hot.
She's covered in designer gear. Her outfit alone must be worth at least $80,000. You
think the Jaguar outside is hers too? The words attracted the attention of all the other
thugs.
They heard the gangster laugh and say, rich bitch. Listen punk, he said to Heston, I
guess we could help you out. But my guys are a little short of money right now.
If you get that beautiful lady to hand over, let's say a million dollars, I'll leave on the spot
without another word. The faces of the people at the table were a little pale. Mia's
eyebrows were tightly knitted, but Heston smiled faintly and said, you must be joking
about this.
Leave me your phone number later on. I'll call Big Mo to set up a few tables at the
international hotel. You guys can have a good time with me about you.
Let us have our reunion, huh? The gangster laughed when he heard that kid, you know,
the rules. How about this? If you really know Big Mo, give him a call right now and say
that I'm looking for him for something. If you can make the call, then don't even think
about walking out of here today.
Everyone looked at Heston and Zara said nervously, Heston, you aren't bluffing, are you?
This isn't a joke. Mia was also staring at him in expectation, feeling the gaze of the goddess. Heston's eyes lit up.
He smiled faintly and said, you guys just sit quietly. I'll handle this. His words were
spoken with confidence, and the group at the table all heaved a sigh of relief.
As promised, Heston called Big Mo. The gangster seemed to be familiar with him, and
after Heston hung up, they smiled at him and said, you've got a lot of connections, not
bad. I wasn't going to let you out of here without handing over a million, but since you
sorted things with Big Mo, I'll let you off, but we're not leaving.
You guys can go and eat somewhere else. As soon as he said this, Mia's table felt a wave
of relief, even though they needed to change restaurants, at least they weren't in any
danger. Mia looked at Heston with a hint of praise in her eyes.
Zara chuckled and said, nice work, Heston. Tell me, what other important people do you
know? Heston had a confident smile on his face. He laughed loudly and was about to say
something when he saw the gangster walking towards Keith's table.
He said in a cold voice, you're so calm sitting there. Are you looking down on us or what?
That guy over there knows Big Mo. Don't tell me you guys know him too.
The faces of the four muscular men darkened. Grant suddenly stood up and said, you
dare to use this kind of attitude to talk to the young master here? You think you can
scare us with a knife? Do you really believe I won't kill you? Well, the gangster hadn't
expected to meet someone even more ruthless. Keith stood up and patted Grant's
shoulder, indicating for him to be patient.
He then smiled faintly and said, I hate gangs, but I have to say, your acting isn't bad.
Even still, it ends here. As he spoke, he calmly took out his phone, turned the volume up
to maximum, and started to play a recording.
Boss, I didn't expect your daughter to have a boyfriend. If she gets married, our plan
won't. This is a rare opportunity.
We must take her down here. Let's stick to the plan. As the recording played, everyone
looked at Heston and the man beside him.
In disbelief, Zara widened her eyes and said in a trembling voice, Heston, you guys. She
didn't even know what to say. Mia covered her mouth and her face was also filled with
disbelief.
This old classmate, this man who was a friend in her eyes, was actually scheming
against her behind her back and had even drugged her. Heston's face turned the color of
pig liver. He roared, you liar.
This recording is fake. Why are you scheming against me like this? What do you want from me? When he said this, everyone's eyes once again focused on Keith. After all,
Heston was an old classmate who they had known for more than 10 years, and Keith was
just a young man they'd never met before.
When Keith saw this, he smiled faintly and said, fake recording. You don't even use your
brain when you speak. How could I possibly have a fake recording of you two? Could it
be that I have foresight? I knew that you were going to have a reunion, and I knew that
you two were going to the bathroom together.
His words completely shattered all the excuses. None of them were fools. In such a short
period of time, even the top international experts couldn't have faked their voices.
They all looked at Heston with fear in their eyes. You've shattered Heston's plan.
Attribute point plus one.
Heston's face was extremely ugly. He hurriedly turned to Mia and said, Mimi, you have to
believe me. I really shut up.
Mia shouted, Heston, I know your business has failed. If you had asked, I would have lent
you money. But I didn't expect you to use such a dirty trick.
Our friendship ends here. Zara, let's go. Mia stood up and pulled Zara after her.
But the gangsters were actors invited by Heston. When they heard him, they
immediately rushed over and blocked the door. Mia's face turned pale.
She heard Heston laugh and said, Mia, Mia, do you think you're still the campus
sweetheart of 20 years ago? Well, let me tell you, you're not. Yeah, I owe a lot of money.
I'll be finished sooner or later.
But today, I'm going to finish you. He turned to the gangsters with these two bitches in
the car. The gangsters heard him and sneered.
Okay, but she's too hot to waste. After you're done, you have to make us happy, too,
right? Heston laughed and said, Sure, we can all have fun tonight. As soon as he finished
speaking.
