Chapter 99 Can't Even Pass the Security
Victor also had some doubts about Larry.
If it were an ordinary place, it would be fine, but this was the Imperial Residence.
The Imperial Residence was very famous in Sunset City.
Victor decided to see it for himself.
Harry drove personally.
He took Victor, Oscar, Julia, Stella, and her husband Chris to the Imperial Residence.
Chris was from Neon City and rarely came to Sunset City. But he had also heard of the Imperial Residence's reputation.
It was said to be a super mansion that wouldn't be sold even for 1.5 billion dollars, and even if one had the money, one couldn't find a way to buy it.
They soon arrived in the suburbs of Sunset City.
Ahead was a mountain. The environment of this mountain was elegant, and the air was clear. At the foot of the mountain was a super mansion.
From a distance, one could see the gardens, golf course, swimming pool, and other facilities around the mansion.
Around the mountain were some independent villas, collectively known as Scenic Villas.
These villas belonged to some big shots.
However, no one knew exactly which big shots they were.
At the entrance of the Scenic Villas, by the security booth, two security guards stood outside the booth.
Inside the booth, there were more than a dozen security guards gathered, chatting.
"Don't look down on me just because I'm a security guard. I'm a security guard at Scenic Villas. With this status alone, I managed to date a beautiful girl, a college freshman, very young and pretty."
"Yancy, how did you manage that?"
"It's simple. We guard Scenic Villas and can come and go freely. To be honest, a few days ago, I quietly went to the Imperial Residence, took a selfie in front of the iron gate with the Imperial Residence as the background, posted it on WhatsApp, and nearby girls came to me automatically."
"Damn it, Yancy, you really have a way. I'll try it someday."
"I advise you not to get any ideas. Although it's a good way to pursue women, if the manager finds out, you'll be fired. Do you know whose place the Imperial Residence is?"
"Whose?"
The group of security guards was puzzled.
Yancy whispered, "My uncle used to be a construction worker, building villas in Scenic Villas. He told me that when they were building the Imperial Residence, it was supervised by fully armed personnel. It's owned by a big shot from a military district."
"Could it be Free King?"
"Don't mention Free King's name lightly."
While the security guards were chatting, a Bentley drove up.
Several security guards immediately came out. Seeing it was a car with a strange license plate, they didn't pay much attention.
Because the cars coming in and out of Scenic Villas were all luxury cars like Rolls-Royce.
However, this was still a Bentley worth hundreds of thousands dollars, so the security guards didn't dare to be negligent.
One security guard asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Victor got out of the car, leaning on a cane, and stood up straight. "I'm going to the Imperial Residence. I'm planning to hold my 80th birthday banquet there and came to check the venue in advance."
The security guards burst out laughing.
"Hold a birthday banquet?"
"At the Imperial Residence?"
"I know you, you're Victor from the Lewis family, right?"
"Victor, you should know the status of the Lewis family in Sunset City. The Lewis family doesn't even qualify to buy a villa in Scenic Villas, let alone hold an 80th birthday banquet at the Imperial Residence."
The security guards looked at the arrogant and confident Victor with disdain, not giving him any respect despite him being from the Lewis family.
They were security guards at Scenic Villas and had seen all kinds of big shots.
A patriarch of a second-rate family didn't earn their respect.
Oscar and the others in the car felt very humiliated.
It was too shameful.
Julia angrily cursed, "Damn Larry, Victor is really stupid to believe Larry's words and dream of holding an 80th birthday banquet at the Imperial Residence."
Victor's face blushed with shame. But Larry had confidently assured him that he could definitely hold the 80th birthday banquet at the Imperial Residence and even enter in advance.
Victor straightened his back and shouted, "Do you know what you're saying? Do you know who asked me to hold the banquet at the Imperial Residence?"
"Victor, get lost." The security guards started to drive them away.
"What's going on?" At this moment, a man in a suit and tie, with a sexy lady holding his arm, walked over.
"Mr. Martinez." The security guards immediately bowed.
The man in front of them was Francis Martinez, the manager of Scenic Villas and their superior, a member of the Martinez family with a significant background.
"Mr. Martinez, this is Victor from the Lewis family. He said he wants to hold a birthday banquet at the Imperial Residence. It's hilarious. I was just about to kick him out."
"The Lewis family?"
Francis glanced at Victor and sneered, "A birthday banquet at the Imperial Residence? Who gave you the right to hold a birthday banquet at the Imperial Residence?"
"I..." Victor's face turned red.
"Victor, let's go back. Don't make a fool of yourself." Oscar got out of the car to pull Victor back in.
The other members of the Lewis family also got out of the car.
"Oscar, is that you?" A sarcastic voice came.
It was the sexy lady beside Francis, dressed in a glamorous outfit and holding a designer handbag.
Oscar was surprised when he saw the woman.
He thought, 'Isn't this my ex-girlfriend, Molly?'
Molly burst into laughter when she saw Oscar. "Who would have thought, the Lewis family still loves to brag. Let me introduce you, this is my husband, Francis Martinez, from the Martinez family. Do you know the Martinez family? It's part of the Five-State Business Alliance. Scenic Villas was built by the Five-State Business Alliance. The villas here cost tens of millions dollars each, and you can't buy one just because you have money."
She raised her head, holding onto Francis. "The villas in Scenic Villas can only be purchased by entities at the level of the Four Great Families in Sunset City. The residents here are big shots from all over the country. The Martinez family owns two villas here, and you, the insignificant Lewis family, dream of holding a birthday banquet at the most luxurious Imperial Residence?"
Molly looked at Oscar with disdain.
Oscar had despised her for being poor and for her family back then.
Now, Molly had married into a wealthy family and finally had the chance to get back at the person who once looked down on her.
She said, "Oscar, thank you for not marrying me back then. That's how I got to marry into the Martinez family. Any subsidiary of the Martinez family is stronger than the Lewis family."
Oscar's face turned very sour.
Being belittled, looked down upon, and ridiculed, he had no way to respond.
At this moment, he only felt embarrassed and wished he could hide. Because Oscar knew about the Martinez family.
As a member of the Five-State Business Alliance, the Martinez family's business was not something the Four Great Families of Sunset City could compare to.
The influence of the Four Great Families of Sunset City was limited to Sunset City. They didn't qualify to join the Five-State Business Alliance.
"So, it's Francis Martinez from the Martinez family." Chris stepped forward with a bright smile and extended his hand. "Francis, nice to meet you. I'm from the Ortiz family in Neon City and currently serve as the deputy captain of a special police unit in Neon City."
Francis glanced at Chris indifferently and said, "Who are you? I don't know you. The Ortiz family? What the hell is that?"
Chris awkwardly withdrew his hand.
The Ortiz family was also a big family in Neon City, with assets of over four billion dollars. Now, they were being looked down upon, but he had no way to respond because Francis was from one of the core member of the Five-State Business Alliance, the Martinez family.
Francis looked at the security guards at the gate and scolded, "What are you doing? You should know what kind of place this is. You can't let irrelevant people in. If you anger the big shots inside, you won't be able to bear the responsibility. Beat them up and throw them out."
"Yes, sir." The security guards immediately became arrogant.
They clenched their fists and moved forward.
Outside Scenic Villas, painful cries could be heard as the members of the Lewis family were beaten and kicked by more than a dozen security guards.
Even Stella's husband, Chris, wasn't spared.
As the deputy captain of a special police unit, Chris was now being kicked to the ground by security guards, with a footprint on his face.
