Chapter 421 He's the Richest In the World?
"I'm the vice president of Harmony Realty Group. How do I not have the power?" Cecil shouted, his voice cracking.
"You won't be for long," James replied coolly. He grabbed Cecil by the collar and dragged him in front of Pamela. "Apologize to Pamela now, and I'll let you go."
Cecil looked at the frightened Pamela, then turned to James. "James, I'll apologize to Pamela, but can I make a phone call first?"
"A phone call?" James was taken aback, then chuckled. "You're still not convinced, are you?"
"That's right, I'm not convinced!" Cecil shouted, glaring at him.
"Alright, I'll give you this chance. Go ahead and make your call," James said. He knew that with someone like Cecil, you either didn't act at all, or you made sure he was completely subdued. Otherwise, who knew what trouble Cecil might cause in the future.
Cecil was shocked that James actually agreed to let him make the call. The onlookers, unless they were fools, could see that Cecil was clearly trying to call for backup. But they couldn't understand why James would allow it. Wasn't this asking for trouble?
"James, are you crazy? If he makes that call, he's definitely calling people to deal with you. If you let him make the call, you're dead for sure!" Pamela stepped forward, her big, watery eyes looking very agitated.
James, hearing Pamela's words, said something that shocked everyone. "If I can't handle a thug, what kind of world's richest man am I?"
Everyone was stunned, looking at him with puzzled expressions. They couldn't understand the connection between Cecil and the world's richest man. Could James be the world's richest man?
If James claimed to be just some rich kid, many people might believe it. After all, the sports car James drove today was worth 18 million dollars.
But if he claimed to be the world's richest man, no one would believe it. In their eyes, the real world's richest man couldn't be so young. Moreover, the name of the world's richest man would be well-known, but no one had heard of James.
What they might not know was that there were many hidden billionaires in the world. Those on the Forbes rich list only publicized their wealth to gain social status and influence.
Some people's wealth had long surpassed those on the Forbes list, but Forbes didn't dare to publish their names, like Willard and the Three Elders of the Rockefeller, whose wealth had long exceeded anyone on the rich list.
But for various reasons, regular folks would never know about the Rockefeller super business empire, and they'd never get a chance to come into contact with it.
"James, don't let him make that call, or you're dead!" Pamela shouted, looking super agitated.
James turned to her, calm as ever. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Then he looked down at Cecil with disdain. "What are you waiting for? Didn't you want to make a call? Hurry up!"
Cecil hesitated for a moment, then pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
The phone rang twice before the other side picked up.
"Mr. Murray!"
"Casey, bring all the guys to the sales office now. I've been beaten!" Cecil gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Okay, Mr. Murray, I got it!" The other party replied quickly.
Cecil hung up, then looked up at James coldly. "James, just wait. My people will be here soon. You want me to apologize? Today I'll show you if you have what it takes to make me do so!"
Pamela's eyes showed a hint of despair after seeing Cecil make the call. She looked really distressed.
"James, while Cecil's people aren't here yet, you should run!" Pamela hesitated, then ran to James' side and whispered to him.
James turned to her calmly. "If I run now, what about you?"
Pamela was instantly moved by James' words. This was the second time James had moved her so much! She never expected that even at this moment, James was still concerned about her. And she didn't expect that even facing a penniless James, she still felt a flutter in her heart!
Seeing Pamela standing there in a daze, James turned to the security guards in the sales office. "You four helped me just now, and I promised to give you that car. That car cost me 18 million dollars. If you split it, each of you can get 4 million dollars. Do you want the car or the money?"
"What?" The four security guards were stunned.
"I asked, do you want the money or the car?" James repeated, looking a bit helpless.
"Money! If we can get the money, of course we want the money!" The leading security guard shouted excitedly.
James smiled at the security guard, then took out his phone and walked away.
When Marc saw James seemingly about to leave, he shouted, "Kid, where are you going? Are you planning to run?"
"If I wanted to run, I would have done it long ago. Why would I wait until now?" James replied calmly, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
