Chapter 58 Gunner


    As looked at Zoee. Through Zoee''s crystal clear eyes, he saw Zoee''s persistence.


    "Well, I''ll lend you the money. If you get famous in the future, you can return it to me."


    Zoee still wanted to say something, but As raised his hand to stop her. "That''s a deal. If you still want


    to refuse, then throw it!"


    Zoee was helpless. She knew that As would do what he said. Just like when he faced three


    hooligans alone.


    He said, "I will definitely save you."


    Then, no matter how many times he was knocked down by the three hooligans, he would stand up


    again.


    At that time, As was just a weak high school student. The three hooligans were all young men in their


    twenties.


    Looking at As, whose head was bleeding, who still stood up stubbornly, the three hooligans


    retreated.


    Memories and reality ovepped. Zoee''s eyes were a little hazy, and there was a warm current surging


    in her heart. "Well, alright then. In the future, I will return the money to you!"


    Georgie said casually, "Don''t worry, Zoee. If you don''t want it, you can give it to me. A million is enough


    for me to buy a house."


    Georgie''s words broke the solemn atmosphere, and everyoneughed.


    Zoee rolled her eyes at Georgie. "You wish!"


    Georgie chuckled and suddenly looked at Harvey, whose face turned ugly. He said in a sarcastic tone,


    "Oh, who just said that As came here empty-handed? How many authentic works of Doig can a


    million buy?"


    The students held back theirughter and looked at the livid Harvey.


    "I''m going to the washroom." Harvey felt his face burning and made an excuse to leave.


    At the table next door, Quintin''s straight back suddenly bent down, as if he was afraid of being seen.


    The students continued to chat. This time, As suddenly became the focus of everyone''s attention.


    Soon, the banquet began. After Harvey came back, he regained his confidence and looked at As


    with a hint of resentment.


    Ken Aniston and his wife warmly greeted the guests at the three tables. Ken Aniston felt a little guilty


    when he heard that As had given Zoee the one-million check.


    After all, in the beginning, in order to please Quintin, he asked As to apologize to Quintin.


    Seeing that As did not take the opportunity to ridicule him, Quintin began to jump around the next


    table. He was extremely proud to be called Mr. Somberg respectfully by the others.


    Helen suddenly whispered to Zoee, "I''m going to the bathroom. Do you want to go with me?"


    "Okay!" Zoee agreed happily.


    Girls liked to go to the bathroom together, which had be an ironw. It was not strange, and As


    did not care.


    However, after a while, when Zoee and Helen did note back, the door of the private room was


    kicked open.


    A bald young man with a three-inch-long scar on his left face came in, a cigarette dangling on his


    mouth and a smirk on his face.


    Behind him, there were seven or eight flippant young men. Zoee and Helen were also among them, but


    they were escorted in.


    Ken and Lily were shocked. Lily shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Let go of my daughter!"


    As she spoke, Lily was about to rush forward.


    Ken held her back and looked at the scar-faced man. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"


    A yellow-hair guy behind the man snorted, "Don''t you even know Gunner? On this street, Gunner is the


    boss!"


    Harvey suddenly cried out in horror, "You are Gunner. You''re working for Mr. Beckett Jackman!"


    Gunner nced at Harvey and said with a smile, "Oh, smart boy. Not bad, not bad."


    People might not know Gunner, but when it came to Beckett Jackman in Lanceham, even toddlers


    could say his name.


    There was only one big shot in Lanceham, Beckett Jackman.


    "It''s Mr. Jackman''s right-hand man. I''m sorry!" Ken quickly bowed. "But, Mr. Gunner, why did you detain


    my daughter and her ssmates? They are both young. If they have offended you, please be so kind


    to forgive them!"


    Ken said humbly. He couldn''t afford to offend Mr. Jackman!


    Yellow Hair who was standing next to Gunner said, "These two little girls dared attack Gunner. If


    Gunner wasn''t merciful enough, they would have been knocked down now."


    "What! Gunner, how could the two little girls be so bold? Is there a misunderstanding?" Ken eximed.


    Zoee shouted furiously, "Dad, don''t listen to their nonsense. Helen and I came out of the bathroom.


    This scar face flirted with Helen. He said something very vulgar and even molested her. I couldn''t stand


    it, so I pushed him. I didn''t expect to be caught by them."


    Gunner''s face changed, and Yellow Hair hooted, "Shut up. Gunner saw that you two dressed well and


    thought you were the hotel staff, so he asked you a few questions. But you are so rude and


    unreasonable. You insulted Gunner and hit him. Now you are even lying. How despicable!"


    As found it a bit hrious. Nowadays even hooligans knew how to take the moral high ground?


    Zoee blushed and struggled to leave, but the two young men held her arms tightly.


    "Nonsense. It was you who spoke rudely first, and you even touched us. You are the liars here!"


    "Helen, tell everyone the truth!"


    Helen was so scared that she kept crying and could not say a word.


    Ken already understood what was going on. He trusted his daughter.


    It must have been Gunner and the others who thought Helen was a waiter and wanted to flirt with her.


    Zoee couldn''t stand it, so she went at Gunner.


    For hooligans like them, they definitely wouldn''t spare her so easily.


    However, the most important thing was that Beckett Jackman was behind them.


    Ken looked at Gunner and managed a faint smile. He said, "The girls didn''t know better. Mr. Gunner,


    you’re an high-minded man. Please forgive them. Let us all sit down and have a drink. I''ll apologize to


    you!"


    Yellow Hair sized Ken up and down with a sneer and shouted disdainfully, "Apologize to Gunner? Who


    do you think you are?"


    Ken blushed. Indeed, he had overestimated himself. Although Gunner was just a rogue, he was also a


    rogue with a backer.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    He couldn''t even afford the consequences of offending Gunner, let alone Beckett Jackman.


    As for calling the police, people with a little social experience would know better than that. This was the


    resort.


    Ken looked at Quintin. He was the only one with the highest status here. He hoped that these


    hooligans could give him some face!


    "Mr. Somberg, could you say something for me?" Ken pleaded.


    Everyone looked at Quintin expectantly. If these hooligans were so bold to stir up troubles in front of


    Quintin, it would be very embarrassing for Quintin as well.


    Quintin was also in a dilemma at this moment. If they were any ordinary hooligans, he would have


    stood up and stopped them.


    However, Gunner was one of Mr. Jackman''s men. Although it might be difficult for someone like


    Gunner to meet Mr. Jackman for the rest of his life; however, if something really happened, Mr.


    Jackman would still be on Gunner''s side, because it was after all a matter of his own dignity.


    However, so many eyes were focus on Quintin now. He had bragged and boasted. If he didn''t stand out


    now, he would definitely make himself aughing stock.
