Chapter 167 Twenty Cups, Two Billion Dollars
Chloe had already drunk about ten glasses of red wine. She usually didn't drink, and now that she had drunk so much, her head was spinning. She refused to drink any more.
However, the Martins were not pleased.
"Chloe, stop pretending."
"Don't think we don't know about your affairs. You have a husband but still mess around with the mysterious Mr. Bennett. If it weren't for Mr. Bennett's help, would you be where you are today?"
"The Lewises have already made it big. Can't you help the Martins a little?"
The Martins started saying all sorts of nasty things.
"What are you doing?" Sam stood up and shouted, "Why should Chloe help the Martin Family? Watch your words."
Sam glanced at Larry.
Larry was sitting lazily in his chair, looking indifferent, with a hint of anger on his face.
Sam cursed in mind, 'Chloe is being insulted, but Larry doesn't dare to stand up to them. What a loser.'
Although Sam wanted a wealthy man to be Chloe's husband, the Martins' words were too harsh.
"Sam, forget it." Chloe stood up. She had already given the Martin family enough respect, and now she wanted to go back and rest.
She stood up to leave, but Cassian grabbed her and said, "Chloe, what are you doing?"
With the Martinezes' help, the Martins could prosper, so Cassian refused to let Chloe leave.
Chloe shouted, "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Cassian slapped Chloe across the face and yelled, "Stop pretending. Do you know who Ewan is? What's the problem with having a few drinks and sleeping with him?"
Suddenly, Cassian was sent flying—Larry had kicked him.
Larry stood up and kicked Cassian, sending him flying six feet away. He couldn't tolerate Chloe being bullied.
The reason Larry didn't speak was that he wanted Chloe to get more startup funds. Although he had money and didn't lack it, if he just gave it to her, she would definitely think his money was dirty.
Chloe didn't expect Larry to kick Cassian directly. She quickly pulled Larry and said, "Honey, let it go."
Larry then sat down, looking at Chloe, and asked, "Honey, can you still drink?"
Chloe frowned. "Larry, what do you mean?"
Larry smiled and said, "If you can still drink, keep drinking."
"What do you mean?" Chloe was stunned.
At this moment, Cassian had already gotten up. He clutched his chest, his face contorted with pain, and pointed at Larry, "You loser, how dare you hit me."
He then looked at Ewan. "Ewan, this is your restaurant. Call in a couple of security guards and kill him for me."
Ewan's face also darkened. He stared at Larry and said coldly, "You loser."
Larry sat in his chair, legs crossed, ignoring Ewan. He said, "Honey, if you can drink, keep drinking."
"Let's go home," Chloe shouted. She knew Larry could fight and could take down dozens of people in an instant. She didn't want to make a big scene.
Ewan then took out his phone and made a call.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and a dozen security guards with electric batons walked in.
Larry immediately raised his hands and said, "Don't act rashly. Honey, have a few more drinks with Mr. Martinez. If you don't, I'll be beaten to death."
Seeing the situation, Chloe was also scared. She didn't want Larry to fight again. She looked at Ewan with a hint of pleading on her face, "Mr. Martinez, please send them out. I'll have a few more drinks with you."
"That's more like it." Ewan smiled. On his turf, he could handle things as he pleased. He waved his hand slightly. The security guards immediately left.
Chloe had no choice but to sit down and continue drinking. Larry, on the other hand, looked indifferent and lit a cigarette.
Meanwhile, after receiving Larry's call, Timothy immediately called Francis.
Francis was stunned when he heard the news. Then, he cursed angrily, "That damn Ewan, does he want to destroy the Martinez family?"
If Francis were in Neon City, he would definitely rush over and kill Ewan. But he was in Sunset City and couldn't get back in time. He called Caius, the current head of the Martinez family.
"Dad, something big has happened. That bastard Ewan actually made Black Dragon's wife drink with him. You need to get to FlavorFusion Bistro right away. Black Dragon called, and each drink costs a billion dollars in compensation. If you get there too late and Chloe drinks a few more glasses, we will loss a lot of money."
"Losing money is one thing, but if we offend Black Dragon, the Martinezes will be done for.
"Black Dragon is the Supreme Commander of Southwild, the hidden boss of the Epoch Group, the one who destroyed the Hall family, the top of the Four Great Families in Sunset City.
"I previously met Black Dragon at the Imperial Residence..."
Caius was a member of the Five-State Business Alliance and a director in Neon City. He knew who had bought NextGen City. Upon receiving Francis's call, his expression instantly fell. "That bastard, I won't let him off."
Caius stormed towards FlavorFusion Bistro.
Chloe had already drunk a lot. In total, she had almost twenty glasses. She really couldn't drink anymore and felt like throwing up.
Cassian, seeing that it was almost enough, took out a stack of money and threw it at Larry. "You loser, take this. Ewan is taking Chloe. She'll be sent back to you tomorrow morning."
Larry calmly accepted the money. His actions were seen by the drunken Chloe, and at this moment, she felt disappointed.
Ewan, on the other hand, was very excited that he would finally get to do what he wanted to. Seeing Chloe's sexy figure, he couldn't help but gulp, already imagining the scene of sleeping with her.
Just then, the door was kicked open. Caius rushed in, accompanied by seven or eight bodyguards. "Give him a good beating," he commanded.
Ewan was slightly stunned to see Caius rush in and shouted, "Uncle Caius, why are you here?"
A bodyguard rushed over, grabbed Ewan by the hair, and slapped him hard.
Ewan was stunned by the hit.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Only Larry remained calm.
Caius shouted, "Beat him harder."
The bodyguards immediately knocked Ewan to the ground and started punching and kicking him.
"Uncle Caius, stop hitting me," Ewan kept begging for mercy.
The Martins were shocked by this scene.
Caius said, "Chloe, the Martinez family had wronged you. Please forgive us."
Chloe, feeling dizzy from the alcohol, didn't know what was happening. She suddenly vomited all over Caius, then weakly sat back in her chair.
Ewan let out a scream and then passed out.
This scene scared the Martins silly. They all sat aside, too frightened to say a word.
Larry looked at Caius and said calmly, "The Martinez family made Chloe drink. Her drinking price is very high, a billion dollars per glass. I counted, she drank over twenty glasses. Let's call it twenty glasses. Give me twenty billion dollars, and this matter will be over."
"What? Are you crazy?" The drunken Chloe suddenly sobered up, looked at Larry, and shouted, "Larry, stop talking nonsense. "
Caius didn't dare to refute. Francis had made Larry's identity very clear on the phone.
With one word from Black Dragon, not just the Martinez family, but even the Five-State Business Alliance would be finished. Twenty billion dollars was a lot, but if money could solve this problem, Caius would spend it.
Caius looked up at Chloe, pleading, "Chloe, I'll pay the price. Twenty billion dollars, right? Give me the account, and I'll transfer it immediately."
Chloe was completely stunned, thinking, 'Twenty billion dollars is not a small amount. Who is this person, giving away twenty billion just like that?'
