Scarface was stunned for a brief moment.
Slowly retrieving his phone, he gave Tommy a call. Since he didn't know who Jared was, he didn't dare let him make the call.
Soon, the call went through. As Tommy's sleepy voice rang out, it was obvious that he hadn't gotten out of bed yet.
“Mr. Lewis, someone is causing trouble in Antique Street. He says that he knows you and wants me to give you a call,” Scarface carefully reported.
“Who is he? What's his name?” Tommy asked.
“I don't know his name, but he's wearing a bronze ring with a dragon on top and even asked me if I recognized it,” Scarface added.
“F*ck!” Tommy swore as he jumped out of bed at once. “Scarface, listen to me closely. You had better treat him like a king. If you somehow offend him, he will annihilate your entire family. It would do you good to remember that.”
The moment he finished, Tommy ended the call. He then got dressed and rushed toward Antique Street.
Listening to the call-end tone, Scarface was stupefied. Despite having served Tommy for over ten years, he had never seen him panic like this before.
Putting away his phone, Scarface looked at Jared and trembled violently.
Oblivious to the change in Scarface, the fat stall owner stared at Jared with contempt and complained, “Scarface, this man is spouting nonsense. How can Mr. Lewis know a fool like him? He's lying to you, and you should quickly get that piece of jade back!”
Slap!
The moment he finished speaking, he was slapped forcefully on the face by Scarface. “You b*stard! He isn't the one lying. Don't think that I'm not aware of the racket you're running here. It seems to me that you no longer want to stay here anymore!”
The stall owner was stunned after being slapped. After all, he had no idea what was going on. Nonetheless, some of those in the crowd were sharp enough to realize that Jared must have very powerful patrons.
“Sir, I'm sorry about just now. Please rest a while, as Mr. Lewis will be here very soon,” Scarface apologized in an ingratiating tone.
