The Charismatic Charlie Wade

More importantly, he had to find a way to clean up his reputation among his former college mates. Otherwise, how could he show off in front of his friends in the future after being humiliated by Charlie twice?

Just when he was pondering how to restore his dignity, there was a sudden commotion at the main entrance of the restaurant.

The noise attracted everyone’s attention and they looked towards the door.

A group of youngsters with malicious looks barged into the restaurant. They had tattoos all over their limbs and body, holding baseball bats, galvanized water pipes, and the like in their hands. They didn’t look like they were here for a meal at all.

Everyone was extremely shocked upon the horrid sight, especially Douglas and Lily, their eyes full of fear.

A man with the visible scar on his face was obviously the head of the group. He stepped forward, scanned the hall, then pointed at Douglas with an evil grin. “Boss, why didn’t you come and say hi before the opening ceremony? Are we invisible to you?”

Blood drained from Lily’s face. She squeezed a bitter smile and said, “What… What do you want from us?”

Before the opening, Lily heard that there were protection racketeers lurking in this neighborhood. The previous owner of this restaurant was said to have been harassed by these gangsters that he went bankrupt and had to sell this shop.

Despite this, Lily decided to rent the place at a low price and manage it as she felt that these people wouldn’t dare to be so pompous as to ask money from them in broad daylight.
