Chapter 101 Apologizing in Person
The Five-State Business Alliance had a rep from each family in every city within the area. The head of each family was a director.
Sunset City was part of the Five-State Business Alliance. The Carter Family represented Sunset City.
Though not one of the Four Great Families in Sunset City, the Carters' assets far exceeded those of the Four Great Families, making them one of the most prominent families in town.
Timothy Carter was the director of the Five-State Business Alliance in Sunset City.
Timothy was in a meeting when he got a call from Nathan. Nathan was furious and roughly explained what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Timothy immediately called the Martinez family, then personally brought Francis, his mistress, and a dozen security guards who had beaten people, to the Lewis Family to apologize.
At the Lewis Family villa, everyone looked somber.
Oscar couldn't help but ask, "Chris, any news yet?"
Chris was uncertain, knowing it was the Martinez family who had beaten him, and doubted his family would offend the Martinez family just for him.
But then, the doorbell rang. Julia went to open the door. She was stunned when she saw who were visiting.
At the villa entrance, a dozen people were standing there.
It was Francis, who had ordered the beating, his mistress Molly, and the security guards. Julia's mouth dropped open in shock.
A man in his forties, dressed in a suit, stepped forward with an apologetic look. "Excuse me, is Victor home? I am Timothy, the director of the Five-State Business Alliance in Sunset City."
Julia exclaimed in surprise. 'The director of the Five-State Business Alliance in Sunset City, Timothy, had personally come to the Lewis Family? And why are they here?'
"Grandpa... you need to come out," Julia called out.
Victor came over with a cane.
When Victor saw Timothy standing at the door, his body trembled as he bent over with respect, "Mr. Carter, what brings you here?"
Victor stepped out of the house, seeing Francis and the others, his mouth dropped open in shock.
Timothy, with a respectful expression, said, "Victor, the Martinez family has offended you. I deeply apologize for what happened earlier and have personally brought the Martinez family members to apologize. These people are at your disposal."
Victor was so shocked he couldn't speak for a while. 'Since when had I been treated with such respect?
The director of the Five-State Business Alliance in Sunset City had personally come to apologize, and the members of the Martinez family are here as well. It is so unbelievable!'
Harry, Oscar, and other members of the Lewis Family also came out.
Seeing Francis and the others kneeling at the door, they were also stunned, their mouths wide open. It was as if they had seen something terrifying.
"What do we do, Grandpa?" Oscar was a bit confused.
Seeing that Victor hadn't spoken for a long time, Timothy immediately grabbed Francis by the hair and slapped him several times.
The crisp sound of slaps echoed. Francis's mouth bled from the beating.
Francis didn't dare to say anything, crying and begging for mercy, "Victor, I was wrong to offend you. I didn't know you knew the General. Please forgive me."
"The General?" Victor suddenly understood.
Chris, who had come along, became even more confident.
In Chris's view, it must have been his phone call that worked, and Daniel had avenged him.
Chris walked over and kicked Francis. He was in the SWAT team, so his kick was quite powerful.
Francis rolled a few times, but he didn't dare to complain and got up again.
Oscar also became smug, walking over with an air of superiority. He squatted down in front of Molly to hook her chin and lift her head.
With a smug look on his face, Oscar said, "Molly, was it you who spat on me earlier?"
Molly trembled, pleading, "Oscar, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
Oscar stood up and shouted, "Security!"
Two security guards from the Lewis Family came over and said, "Oscar, what are your orders?"
Pointing at the dozen security guards kneeling on the ground, Oscar said, "Beat them."
The two security guards replied, "Yes."
They immediately started punching and kicking the security guards, Francis, and Molly.
At the entrance of the Lewis Family villa, cries of pain echoed continuously.
At this moment, Oscar felt very satisfied.
Chris held his head high with pride.
Stella, Chris's wife, also felt immensely proud.
'This is the benefit of having connections in the military. A single word from a high-ranking military figure can make the wealthy kneel and beg for mercy no matter how rich they are.'
Timothy looked at Victor and said, "Victor, Francis has already apologized. Are you still angry? I heard that your 80th birthday is coming up and that you plan to hold it at the Imperial Residence, right? I will definitely bring luxurious gifts to celebrate your birthday there."
When Victor hearing this, his body trembled, "Timothy, do you mean I can hold my birthday banquet at the Imperial Residence?"
Timothy hurriedly said, "Yes, of course, the General has already given the order. Victor, you can go ahead and hold it there. No one will dare to stop you."
Victor burst into laughter.
At this moment, Victor felt very pleased.
The unpleasantness from being beaten had completely dissipated. Victor promptly called off the beating, saying, "Alright, stop hitting them."
The two security guards then stopped.
Oscar, on the other hand, pulled up the bloodied Francis and patted his swollen face, "Francis, remember, don't be too arrogant in the future. The Lewis Family may not be a big family, but we have connections, especially with the General."
"Yes, I won't dare anymore." Francis no longer dared to be arrogant.
"Victor, let's end this matter here. Can you tell that important person not to be angry anymore?" Timothy looked at Victor eagerly.
President Nathan had called, and if they didn't get forgiveness, there would be big trouble.
Victor laughed heartily, "Alright, let's end it here. Timothy, come inside and sit."
Timothy waved his hand slightly and said, "Victor, I don't bother to sit. The day after tomorrow, I will definitely bring generous gifts to the Imperial Residence to celebrate your birthday."
With that, Timothy kicked Francis and shouted, "You bastard, hurry up to thank Victor."
"Thank you, Victor, for forgiving me."
Very soon, Timothy left with Francis and the others.
After leaving, Timothy wiped the cold sweat off his face and called Nathan, "Nathan, I've already gotten Victor's forgiveness. By the way, who is the General you mentioned?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Nathan hung up the phone.
At the Lewis Family Villa, Victor laughed heartily. "Chris, the Ortiz Family is really impressive. One phone call and even the director of Sunset City personally came to apologize and allowed me to hold a banquet at the Imperial Residence. You really make me proud."
Chris hadn't expected that Daniel could really persuade the General and easily resolve this matter.
Chris straightened his back and said, "Free King promised that uncle Daniel would become the third most important person in the Neon City military district within five years. But, Grandpa, we should keep a low profile."
Oscar, feeling relieved after venting his anger, said, "Chris, this is something worth bragging about. We should be high-profile about this. Grandpa, let's go to the Imperial Residence now and see how to arrange the venue."
Julia flattered, "Chris, you are really capable."
Stella, with a proud look, held Chris's arm and said, "Of course, Chris is now the deputy captain. In another two years, he will be promoted to captain."
