Chapter 1687

If anyone were just doing their job as they were told, Harvey York wouldn’t make it harder for them either. He wouldn’t mind telling them his background. But since Lenny Thompson obviously came here to support Steven Bauer, how could Harvey even possibly stay civil? “With the gods’ courage, you say? “Kid, I don’t need that to deal with you. “But speaking of, why are you doing this?” Lenny looked at Harvey as if he was a scoundrel that could not be taught. “Since you’re just a low-class person that doesn’t belong in this upper social circle, you shouldn’t be crashing without any invitation! “You should know that you wouldn’t gain anything other than embarrassing yourself by coming here without knowing your limits. “Do you understand what I’m talking about here? “If you are willing to get out of here obediently, I’ll pay for your cab myself. “I wouldn’t want a rotten egg spoiling the entire basket in the Paramount either. You understand, right?” Lenny then pulled out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and slammed it on Harvey’s table. “Pffft!” Quiet chuckles could be heard everywhere after the crowd not being able to hold in their laughter. “He must be pretty lucky today! Not only did he eat and drink here for free, but he also got to keep the hundred-dollar bill!” “Manager Lenny had already quit his previous ways. If it were the Lenny from before, he would’ve broken all of this bastard’s limbs!” “Sigh. Don’t get angry yet, everyone. The gathering hasn’t even started yet. Can someone relieve us from our boredom already?” “Come, let’s give the man a bit of cash!” People around Harvey then reached into their pockets for a spare change and threw it toward Harvey. “Hey, kid. Stop asking for more now that you have enough. Pick up the change and get out of my sight! I’m not saying that again!” Lenny coldly exclaimed while seeing the sight. Harvey slightly squinted and then replied coldly, “Are you certain that I have no right to be at this so-called banquet?” “No, but I should take you out to get a background check on you for the safety of the banquet. “Of course, I’ll personally invite you back inside if you prove to me that you indeed have the right to be here!” Lenny glared coldly at Harvey. “Of course, the possibility of this happening is close to zero.” That piqued Harvey’s interest. “But, what if I can prove my worth to be at the banquet?” A hint of regret flashed in Lenny’s eyes. He then calmly replied, “Then I’ll apologize.” “Apologize?” Harvey chuckled. “Is there even a use for that?” “Of course there is…” An expression full of ridicule was showing on Lenny’s face. “I’ve already given you enough respect. What else does a country bumpkin like you could ever want? I’ll tell you right now…” Slap! Harvey suddenly stepped forward and swung his backhand across Lenny’s face, sending him flying across the hall and smashing right into the champagne tower. The sight looked horrible at that moment. The loud noise had attracted everyone’s attention in the hall. Everyone was quite dumbfounded after seeing Harvey slap Lenny across the hall. Lenny had been in the underworld for quite a while. He quit recently to become the hall manager in the Paramount. Although the people present were upperclassmen, they would still need to pay him some respect. Yet, Harvey dared to hit him at that moment. “I’m sorry, my hand slipped.” Harvey was showing a genuinely apologetic expression. “I apologize. You should be able to forgive me. “You said that there’s a use for it after all.” “You!” Lenny stood back up with a wretched expression on his face, then furiously exclaimed while pointing at Harvey, “Get over here right now! Beat this guy up and throw him out of here!”
