Chapter 25 My Shoes Are Dirty
After leaving the Crystal Starlight Hotel, James immediately dialed Charles's number on his phone.
"James, do you have any further instructions?" Charles's voice came through as the call connected.
"Please investigate the individual named Kevin for me," James said softly.
"Of course, James. I will send someone to investigate right away, and they will contact you shortly!" Charles quickly agreed.
"Good!" James nodded before ending the call and heading towards the University of Lumina.
However, before James could step inside the school, a Bentley pulled up in front of him. A middle-aged man in a suit emerged from the car, bowing respectfully to James and stating, "Hello, James!"
James glanced at the man in the suit and asked in confusion, "You are Charles's associate?"
"Yes, James. Mr. Wilsons instructed me to investigate a person named Kevin, and I have just completed that task. Are you planning to go find him now?" the man in the suit quickly responded.
"Yes, let's go now," James affirmed.
"Please, James, get in the car!" The man in the suit opened the car door, protecting the roof with his hand, displaying a cautious attitude.
James felt a bit embarrassed by the man's formality and said softly, "You don't have to be so polite to me."
"James, you are Mr. Wilsons' boss, and Mr. Wilsons is my boss. It's only proper for me to be polite to you!" The man in the suit replied softly.
"What's your name then?" James chuckled at the man in the suit.
"I'm Terry Campbell. Just call me Terry!" The man in the suit said while driving.
"You're Terry?" James' expression changed drastically upon hearing this unexpected revelation, his face registering astonishment.
"Have you heard of me before, James?" Terry asked with a smile.
"Of course. Everyone in Lumina City knows about you!" James responded, visibly surprised.
"James, you're overestimating me. I cannot compare with you. In the future, if you need anything, don't call Mr. Wilsons — simply reach out to me!" Terry respectfully addressed James.
James looked at Terry somewhat helplessly, unsure of how to express his current feelings.
Anyone in Lumina City should have heard Terry's name more or less, and James had naturally heard about him from classmates. It was said that in Lumina City, there was a very powerful figure who straddled both legal and illegal domains, and his name was Terry. Almost no one dared to provoke Terry in Lumina City, and most establishments were under Terry's control!
James couldn't believe that the legendary Terry was now driving him and treating him with such respect.
If Paul, Tyler, and the others found out, they would surely not believe it.
Ten minutes later, Terry parked the Bentley in front of the Stellar Lounge and helped James out of the car, whispering, "James, I've investigated, and the person you mentioned, Kevin, should be inside the bar right now."
"Alright, let's go in and take a look," James replied softly before heading straight toward the Stellar Lounge.
Moments later, James found the room he had entered before and pushed the door open.
Kevin, who had been playing poker inside, paused when he saw James enter.
Grinning, Kevin said, "Isn't this our James? What brings you back? Planning to lick my shoes this time?"
"This time, it might be my shoes that are dirty!" James replied calmly, gazing at Kevin with a smile.
Upon hearing James' response, Kevin paused for a moment, then stormed angrily towards James. Meanwhile, Brian, seated on the sofa, squinted at James, looking slightly puzzled about James' intentions.
"Kid, did you just say your shoes are dirty?" Kevin provocatively glared at James.
"That's right." James nodded gently.
"Brothers, this kid says his shoes are dirty; what should we do?" Kevin suddenly raised his voice.
Immediately, over a dozen bodyguards surrounded James in the room.
"James merely mentioned my shoes are dirty. Why are all of you surrounding me like this?" At that moment, Terry slowly entered the room.
Brian, who had been sitting on the sofa drinking beer, abruptly turned around upon hearing Terry's voice. His expression was one of shock and astonishment.
"You're just another loser, huh?" Kevin, unfamiliar with Terry, sneered angrily.
Without hesitation, Brian strode up to Kevin and violently kicked him to the ground.
Glaring at him, Brian scolded, "Fool! Apologize to Terry right now!"
