Two people walked into the conference room; one of them was Johann, and the other had a sack over his head.
Although the Sue family was not yet one of Cloud City's great families, they would never allow anyone to make trouble in the company. The old lady asked coldly, "Who are you and how dare you come to our company to cause trouble?"
After Johann glanced at Yvonne, he said, "Old Madam, my name is Johann Lynn. I'm sure you've heard of me before?”
Johann Lynn!
Everyone in the Sue family became agitated inside the conference room. Johann was no small figure in Cloud City, and the Sue family-with its current strength-could not afford to provoke him. Despite that, why would he come to the Sue family and cause trouble there?
"It’s you, Brother Johann. I wonder if something's the matter for you to come to our company?" The old lady's tone changed suddenly and she respectfully addressed him as Brother Johann.
Social status was not determined by age.
The old lady held high authority in the Sue family, but she was not even worth mentioning on the same page
as people like Johann—she was very aware of that.
"I helped the Sue family with a problem, and I'm here t o get some money while I'm at it." Johann smiled.
"If you really helped the Sue family, I'll make sure that you didn't come in vain." The old lady knew that dealing with people like them was very difficult.
There were plenty of reasons for them to ask for money, and since Johann personally came forward that day, there was no way they could avoid a disaster unless their coffers were emptied.
"Old Madam, the sum you're going to spend is worth every cent." Johann finished speaking and removed the sack off the person's head.
When Harvey saw that person, his face instantly turned pale. Was that not Gareth? How could he have fallen into Johann's hands!
Johann kicked Gareth and said, "Why don't you tell the old lady what you did?"
Gareth's nose was blue and swollen. It was a clear sign that he had been beaten heavily the night before. After those ruthless beatings, he was very afraid of Johann and said quickly, "Old Madam, Harvey was the one who ordered me to do everything."
"You're talking nonsense!" Harvey stood up suddenly. He pointed at Gareth angrily and said, "Don't you slander me. I don't even know you."
Gareth raised his head and looked at Harvey ferociously. Would he have ended up like that if it
were not for that bastard? Even though he did not know why Johann was brave enough to show no concern for his backer, his backer had not appeared since the previous incident. It was a sign that Gareth had likely been abandoned.
