Chapter 56


    Seeing how Mandy was about to recklessly ask Harold for money, Brittany stopped her.


    “Well... What should I do, then? Just let myself be lied to by this sted idiot?” Mandy spurted angrily.


    “Mom, of course, we can''t let things be as they are,” Brittany assured her mother. She then gave


    Gordon a fierce look and said to him, “Gordon, you know people who do shady work, don''t you? All this


    while you''d wasted money hanging out with them. Well, it''s now time for you to be useful. Go and take


    care of this!”


    “Brittany, so long as you are no longer fantasizing over that loser, I am more than happy to do so. I just


    need to make one phone call for him to return the five thousand he cheated off mom and to make him


    pay for how he humiliated our family that day.”


    Gordon made a call to his friends the moment he was done talking.


    Back at the café, after Harold saw that Mandy had left, he left a puzzled-looking James behind and


    returned to the private room.


    When the voluptuous Carolyn saw Harold return, both she and Logan stood up.


    Puzzled, she asked, “Harold, you could''ve let Logan handle such a small matter. Why would you


    trouble yourself with this?”


    “That was my ex-girlfriend''s mother. It would be more appropriate for me to handle that myself! Please,


    have a seat!”


    As soon as he finished speaking, Harold sat down and took his time brewing a pot of Earl Grey tea.


    The entire brewing process took a few minutes. When the tea was ready, Harold poured both Logan


    and Carolyn a cup of tea each.


    “Mr. Campbell, please, allow me!”


    Logan''s face was frozen with apprehension as he received the cup of tea Harold had poured for him.


    “Allow you to do this? And what, ruin such fine tea?”


    Harold''s words caused Carolyn to smile.


    As for Logan, those very words left him distressed.


    Whenever it came to tea, Harold insisted on brewing it himself. He insisted that his subordinates did not


    appreciate tea, and he did not want them to ruin the good tea.


    Harold gently took a sip of his tea, closed his eyes in enjoyment, then questioned Carolyn, who sat


    beside him, “Carolyn, didn''t you mention that there were important matters to report? Are you using


    that as an excuse to mooch a few cups of tea off me?”


    “Of course not. While the tea you brew is delicious, I still prefer alcoholic beverages. I do have


    important matters to report. Two years ago, I found a mysterious organization that had appeared


    overseas. They were going about gathering information on you and The Four. After a while, they


    suddenly went silent for some time. It seems that they had begun moving again recently. I believe they


    might be plotting against you, Mr. Campbell. Just in case, should I assign a few underlings to your side


    for protection?”


    As soon as work-rted matters were brought up, Carolyn stood to her feet. Her demeanor was very


    solemn, and her eyes were fraught with worry as she looked toward Harold.


    “Hmph! Are those bandits still at it? If they daree here and think they can just leave, they won''t


    have it as easy as they did six years ago.”


    Suddenly, Harold''s body emitted a strong aura that was almost tangible.


    Not only did the pressure cause both Logan and Carolyn''s hair to fly backward, but it also broke the


    high-end coffee table before them into pieces.

    The color drained away from their faces, but it didn''t take long before they rejoiced.


    “Mr. Campbell, your injuries are healed?” Carolyn asked gleefully as soon as Harold rescinded his


    pressure.


    Harold nodded.


    His simple nod led Carolyn to breathe a sigh of relief.


    Back then, had Harold not been injured, they would not have signed The Five-Year Agreement with the


    other major powers. Instead, they would''ve repressed their opponents by force.
