As Scarface turned his head and stumbled upon Charlie, he was puzzled at first, and then suddenly, his expression had a drastic change! He was extremely shocked and quickly knelt on the floor! 2
Before anyone could regain their composure, Scarface threw away the knife, started slapping himself, and cried, "Mr. Wade, I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were here, I'm terribly sorry!" 1
Charlie was taken aback by the sudden shift in reaction. "Do you know me?"
Scarface nodded profusely and said, "Yes, Mr. Wade, Bill is my boss, I saw you the other day at Heaven
Springs..."
Charlie was suddenly enlightened.
Interesting.
It was Bill, Don Albert’s man, who had tormented Gerald and Harold at the Heaven Springs the other day. This man was Bill’s guy.
No wonder he was so afraid of him. 1
Even Don Albert's legs went jelly when he saw Charlie, let alone the guy of his guy...
Everyone was shocked by the scene! Lily had her mouth agape as well!
They couldn't understand why a fierce gangster, who just beat up Clinton, would kneel down in front of Charlie? Moreover, he seemed like he was very scared of him! 4
Claire was equally dumbfounded. She tugged Charlie’s arm and asked, "What's going on? Do you know him?" 2
Charlie quickly shook his head, worrying that she might misunderstand the scenario. "No! I don’t know him!"
Scarface immediately interjected, "No, he doesn't know me! I don’t know him, he doesn't know me! It’s just that Mr. Wade's reputation precedes him and I’m honored to meet him..." 1
The flattery was a perfect ten!
He was honored to meet him? Who? Charlie?
No one could accept this reality, it was too magical and strange! 2
Scarface frantically turned to Douglas and muttered," As you are Mr. Wade’s friend, you'll have my full protection from now on and I won't charge you any fee! If anything happens, I’ll have your back!" 1
