Chapter 516 I Heard You Were Looking for Me?
James continued to eat leisurely, as if he had no idea that Brent had his eyes on him. However, Michael had already noticed and made eye contact with Brent, feeling the hostility in Brent's eyes and seeing Tobias standing in front of Brent. His heart started to race!
Michael had a bad feeling.
He quickly nudged James and said worriedly, "James, Brent has noticed you. From the look in his eyes, it seems like he's going to make a move on you. Should you avoid him?"
Maybe it was because Michael was overly concerned, but Michael was very worried about James. For one thing, he had never seen the power behind James firsthand and knew nothing about James's capabilities. For another, he was well aware of Brent's powerful background, which was not something an ordinary person could contend with!
The Lewis family was one of the top families in the entire Starlight State, with immense power and a wide range of influence. Even he didn't have the qualifications to go head-to-head with Brent, let alone James.
He really didn't want James to make a big mistake due to youthful recklessness, as it could cost him his entire life.
James was still munching on a large lobster, having already eaten a lot. Ever since he reached the fourth stage of martial arts, his appetite had become even more terrifying. If someone were to extract his stomach acid, they would find that its concentration was several times more acidic than that of an ordinary person. This meant that once he ate food, it would be quickly digested, converted into energy, and absorbed into his body to sustain his strength.
So, even after eating a large amount of food, his stomach wouldn't bulge, defying normal human understanding.
"Yeah, I got it," James said with a smile, continuing to eat leisurely, looking calm and unbothered, which made Michael even more anxious.
Tobias said, "Mr. Lewis, look at this James. He's so arrogant! He sees you and isn't even a bit scared, still eating leisurely. And this Michael, he's in cahoots with James. Earlier, when I asked security to kick James out, it was Michael who saved him, and they were acting all buddy-buddy! Plus, I heard him badmouthing you, saying that a little Brent is nothing to worry about."
Tobias exaggerated wildly, spilling everything in front of Brent, afraid that Brent might let James and Michael off easily.
At this moment, he was extremely excited, feeling his whole body filled with exhilaration.
"And Mr. Lewis, when James first arrived, he said he was here to get revenge on you, Mr. Lewis."
A slap rang out.
Brent slapped Tobias's face loudly, leaving Tobias stunned. 'What's going on? James and I are enemies, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Why did Brent hit me?'
At that moment, Tobias felt extremely wronged, and even Aimee and Rhys were a bit surprised.
Brent then said coldly, "Noisy. Do I need you to teach me how to do things? Stop stirring up trouble in front of me, or I'll make the Dobbins family disappear from the world!"
Tobias shuddered, Brent's slap had sobered him up.
Even if Tobias and James were enemies, Brent wouldn't appreciate him for it.
Tobias felt very unwilling, very dissatisfied, and even very angry, feeling an unparalleled sense of humiliation. But he didn't dare to show it because he knew there was no comparison between him and Brent. Brent could crush him as easily as stepping on an ant!
However, Tobias didn't hold a grudge against Brent; he transferred his hatred to James. If it weren't for that bastard James putting on airs, Brent wouldn't have hit him.
His mind had become that twisted.
Brent's lips curled into a mocking smile as he said to Rhys, "Mr. Johnson, since James is here, why don't we go over and meet him?"
"Sure, I've had my eye on him for a while." Rhys felt Brent's hostility towards James and was extremely excited. This way, Rhys wouldn't need to stir up trouble; Brent would make a move on James, or rather, on Dennis's entire family!
Rhys cursed inside, 'That bastard Dennis shouldn't have been born into this world, and now he even causes Valor's death. He deserves to die!'
Brent was a very esteemed presence here, and many attendees were paying attention to his every move. Now, seeing him walk towards someone, they were all curious.
Tobias lowered his head, took a deep breath, and told himself that a real man could endure humiliation. Taking a slap was no big deal. As long as he pleased Brent, leading the Dobbins family to prosperity wouldn't be difficult!
With this thought, Tobias felt much more relaxed. After adjusting his mindset, he followed Brent towards James.
Michael saw Brent and his group approaching with ill intentions. His pupils contracted, his heart raced, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. Several times, he considered leaving and distancing himself from James, especially since he had the entire Brown family behind him.
But Michael stayed because he couldn't betray James. Besides, James wasn't just a friend; he was also his benefactor!
"Mr. Lewis, it's been two months, and you look even more imposing."
"Mr. Lewis, let me toast to you."
"Mr. Lewis, we should collaborate more in the future."
"Mr. Lewis..."
As Brent walked over, attendees kept greeting him, lowering their posture. Even those older than him showed absolute respect, indicating his high status.
He responded with a smile to each greeting and finally stood in front of James, looking down at him with a smirk, "James, I heard you were looking for me?"
This was the first time since his arrival that he had taken the initiative to speak to someone, immediately drawing everyone's attention to James, curious about who he was. They soon saw that James was dressed very plainly, obviously in cheap clothes, and didn't look distinguished at all, just an ordinary person. They were all very curious, even suspecting that James was an employee not wearing a uniform.
Michael was sitting right next to James, feeling the pressure from Brent, his heart racing uncontrollably.
As for James, he acted as if he hadn't heard Brent, continuing to eat leisurely, completely ignoring Brent.
