Chapter 513 Brent Arrives
Unconsciously, Michael's presence weakened significantly in front of James.
Michael now felt that he had initially thought of James as merely a talented young man, someone he could mentor and support as an elder brother. However, it turned out that James was a figure of immense influence, a true giant among men. His own capabilities seemed utterly insignificant in comparison.
This was quite awkward.
But then, he thought of something else. Since James had such an impressive background, it also meant that the person James was dealing with today wouldn't have a small background, either.
"James, who is the person you have a grudge against?" Michael asked quietly.
James, while stuffing a lobster into his mouth and eating contentedly, casually replied, "Brent."
James had no reason to hide it from Michael, as Michael was present and would find out soon enough.
Upon hearing this, Michael was once again filled with immense shock!
In other words, it was more like fright.
Brent was the second son of the Lewis family, a significant figure in Starlight State.
Although Michael was a billionaire, worth several hundred billion dollars, he still fell far short when compared to Brent.
If it was just about money, Brent might not be as wealthy as Michael, but in terms of influence, Brent was far more powerful than Michael!
To put it bluntly, if Michael offended Brent, Brent could easily wipe out the entire Brown family, just like what happened to the Perry family, leaving them with no chance to fight back!
The Lewis family was not something the Perry family could compare to.
The gap between them was as vast as that between a cat and a tiger.
And now James had a grudge against Brent and even came specifically to trouble Brent.
Michael couldn't fathom where James derived his confidence from.
Michael speculated that James had deployed a great number of personnel.
Michael asked, "James, how many helpers did you bring with you?"
James smiled, "I came alone. To deal with Brent, I am enough."James was crazy!
Michael's first reaction was that only a crazy would come alone to trouble Brent.
Not to mention the influence of the Lewis family in Starlight State, just the presence of so many big shots here meant that if James caused trouble, he would be disrespecting all these attendees, and they would all turn against James. Michael was not sure whether James could bear the consequences.
To be honest, Michael felt a bit scared.
Michael couldn't imagine what kind of scene it would be!
And Michael had just been seen with his arm around James' shoulder by many onlookers. If James really caused trouble, Michael wouldn't be able to escape the consequences, either.
Michael sighed deeply, not regretting it. He couldn't just sever ties with James immediately. Besides, the Brown family owed James so much.
Michael thought if this was the fate of the Brown family, he would accept it.
At worst, they could simply transfer all the money abroad and have the entire family seek refuge. With the substantial wealth of the Brown family, they could comfortably ensure the well-being of generations to enjoy.
Having figured this out, Michael was no longer so conflicted and just waited for things to unfold.
James saw Michael's reaction and felt quite touched. He had been so direct not only because there was no need to hide it but also to test Michael's reaction.
"Michael, if you're worried, you can leave now. The Lewis family won't trouble you," James suggested with a smile.
Michael punched James and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of disloyal person?"
James smiled without saying anything.
Michael continued, "I won't ask how you got into a grudge with Brent, but I must remind you that Brent is not an ordinary person. The Lewis family behind him is very powerful. If you make a move against him, you will face severe retaliation."
James threw a pastry into his mouth and said leisurely, "Michael, don't worry. The one who will be in trouble is Brent, not me. If the Lewis family dares to come after me, it will be their biggest mistake."
James spoke calmly, but his tone was incredibly domineering.
Michael inexplicably felt reassured.
Upon careful reflection, Michael realized that in all the time he had known James, he had never seen him get into any trouble.
At this moment, a voice suddenly erupted from the crowd, "The Lewis family, Brent has arrived."
Michael's body trembled slightly upon hearing this, and he quickly looked towards the entrance. He saw Brent, dressed in a white suit like a prince charming, appearing in the public's view.
rent was exceptionally handsome, with a tall, commanding presence and an air of confidence. Surrounded by admirers, he stood out like a paragon among men.
Brent was also a martial artist, with an outstanding aura. His long-term high position had given him a unique imposing presence that even a billionaire like Michael would be perfectly suppressed in front of him.
Many big shots at the scene went up to greet him, showing his high status.
Logically, Michael should also go and greet him to show respect, but with James around, he dismissed the idea.
Two individuals with Michael curiously asked, "Mr. Brown, why don't you go greet Mr. Lewis? Aren't you planning to do business with the Lewis family?"
Michael waved his hands and said with a smile, "I won't join the crowd. You guys go ahead."
The two found Michael a bit strange but didn't think much of it. After all, no one would have thought that someone in Starlight State would dare to oppose Brent and the Lewis family. That would be suicidal.
On the other side, Tobias saw Brent's arrival and finally felt uplifted.
The earlier incident had left Tobias devastated, as if his whole world had collapsed. He could never have imagined that James and Michael were such close friends, which led to the ruin of the family business. He was filled with immense regret.
Now Tobias could only pin his hopes on Brent. As long as he could curry favor with Brent, offending Michael wouldn't matter. After all, Brent was far more powerful than Michael. Then he could also humiliate James and vent his anger.
Tobias took a deep breath and walked towards Brent with determination. He had to curry favor with Brent.
