Chapter 515 James and I Are Mortal Enemies
"The Dobbins Group?" Brent looked at Tobias, slightly frowning, "Never heard of it."
His expression was indifferent, and after speaking, Brent turned his head away, giving Tobias no respect at all.
Indeed, given Brent's status, he didn't need to show Tobias any respect. The gap between them was immense; he hadn't even heard of Tobias, so naturally, he didn't need to respect him.
Tobias came over full of enthusiasm, but facing Brent's indifference, his smile immediately froze.
But he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. If he offended Brent, the consequences would be unbearable.
However, Tobias had no way out and had to please Brent. Otherwise, losing the cooperation with Michael would be a huge blow to his family, a consequence he couldn't afford.
He mustered up the courage and said again, "Mr. Lewis, we've met before, at the last party. Mr. Lewis, I even toasted you."
In his anxiety, his voice was a bit loud, interrupting Brent and Aimee's conversation, which immediately displeased Brent, causing him to frown.
Brent's smile turned cold, but he didn't lose his temper. After all, this was still an auction, and he had to maintain his image. However, he didn't show Tobias any kindness either, "Really? I forgot."
Anyone with normal emotional intelligence would know it was time to leave.
Of course, Tobias knew this, too. He was unwilling but had no choice and left reluctantly.
His heart was in turmoil, consumed with burning anxiety. He questioned himself, wondering if he truly couldn't get to know Brent.
At this moment, Rhys, who had been watching Tobias, fell into deep thought and suddenly asked, "Sir, what is your father's name?"
Tobias was stunned, then quickly said, "Sir, my father's name is Valentin, the chairman of the Dobbins Group. Sir, do you know my father?"
Aimee also curiously asked, "Dad, do you know this man's father?"
Rhys showed a strange expression and said, "Yeah, you could say I know him, but also that I don't. Valentin was a classmate of Dennis."
Tobias's heart skipped a beat.
Aimee's expression grew cold as well. "Really? It appears that this Dennis has quite an extensive network."
Tobias was taken aback once more, sensing that Aimee seemed to have a grievance against Dennis.
"Brent, I heard that Valentin has business in Starlight State. Maybe you could take special care of it," Rhys said with a meaningful smile.
Brent immediately understood Rhys's implication and also smiled meaningfully, saying, "Don't worry, sir. Since he's Dennis's classmate, I'll definitely take extra care of him. Tobias, right? Go back and tell your father that in the next life, he shouldn't casually be classmates with that person."
Tobias was completely dumbfounded. It seemed like Brent and Dennis had a grudge!
Tobias couldn’t fathom that Dennis was merely an ordinary person from the small town of Lindwood City and shouldn't have any enmity with Brent.
He quickly realized that offending Michael was already bad enough, and now he was going to offend Brent too. His family would be doomed!
At this moment, he had no choice but to step forward and explain, "Mr. Lewis! You've misunderstood. Although my father and Dennis were classmates, they never got along! Especially with Dennis's son-in-law, James, they have an irreconcilable feud! James is also at the auction. I just had an argument with him and even had security throw him out, but Michael saved him! This is all true, Mr. Lewis. You can ask anyone here, or check the surveillance. And the security."
Tobias said all this in one breath, with his face full of anxiety.
He couldn't help but be anxious; this was about his family's survival.
Brent and Rhys were both stunned after hearing this.
Tobias wiped off the freshly applied foundation on his face, revealing a clear slap mark, and said indignantly, "Mr. Lewis, if you don't believe me, look at this slap on my face. It was James who hit me! I wish he were dead!"
This twist surprised them, but soon Brent said, "Is what you said true?"
"I mean it, Mr. Lewis!" Tobias said with a look of grief and indignation, "And that bastard James, relying on his acquaintance with Michael, had Michael cancel our business cooperation, causing us significant losses. My family and James's family are irreconcilable!"
"This is quite interesting." Brent's lips curled into a slightly amused smile. To be honest, he had no idea what the Dobbins family was, but he was sure that in his eyes, the Dobbins family was just an ant.
"You said James is also here?" Brent quickly remembered this and asked Tobias.
Tobias's previously panicked mood immediately turned to excitement. This change was like a roller coaster, too thrilling.
"Yeah!" Tobias nodded and then quickly pointed in James's direction, saying, "Mr. Lewis, look, that bastard James is right over there."
Brent and the other two followed Tobias's direction and indeed saw James enjoying the food at the buffet.
Upon seeing James, Brent's eyes immediately narrowed, flashing with coldness.
Brent had never seen James in person, only in photos, but he recognized him at a glance.
Originally, he didn't take James seriously. In his view, even if James knew Walter, he was just an ant. What he cared about was Jennifer, that stunning beauty.
However, three days ago, he learned that Calvin had failed and had been crippled by James. From then on, he realized that James was not an ordinary person but a highly skilled martial artist, and he immediately paid more attention.
As a member of the upper class and a martial artist himself, he naturally understood the power of martial artists.
In fact, any martial artist had a decent status in society, and James, being a powerful martial artist, was even more formidable.
The more extraordinary James was, the more interested Brent became. For him, humiliating a weak opponent was not satisfying.
Brent was a martial artist, already at the peak of the first stage, and was about to break through to the second stage. Brent didn't believe James was stronger than himself.
