Chapter 58 Gunner
Atlas looked at Zoee. Through Zoee's crystal clear eyes, he saw Zoee's persistence.
"Well, I'll lend you the money. If you get famous in the future, you can return it to me."
Zoee still wanted to say something, but Atlas raised his hand to stop her. "That's a deal. If you still want
to refuse, then throw it!"
Zoee was helpless. She knew that Atlas would do what he said. Just like when he faced three
hooligans alone.
He said, "I will definitely save you."
Then, no matter how many times he was knocked down by the three hooligans, he would stand up
again.
At that time, Atlas was just a weak high school student. The three hooligans were all young men in their
twenties.
Looking at Atlas, whose head was bleeding, who still stood up stubbornly, the three hooligans
retreated.
Memories and reality overlapped. Zoee's eyes were a little hazy, and there was a warm current surging
in her heart. "Well, alright then. In the future, I will return the money to you!"
Georgie said casually, "Don't worry, Zoee. If you don't want it, you can give it to me. A million is enough
for me to buy a house."
Georgie's words broke the solemn atmosphere, and everyone laughed.
Zoee rolled her eyes at Georgie. "You wish!"
Georgie chuckled and suddenly looked at Harvey, whose face turned ugly. He said in a sarcastic tone,
"Oh, who just said that Atlas came here empty-handed? How many authentic works of Doig can a
million buy?"
The students held back their laughter and looked at the livid Harvey.
"I'm going to the washroom." Harvey felt his face burning and made an excuse to leave.
At the table next door, Quintin's straight back suddenly bent down, as if he was afraid of being seen.
The students continued to chat. This time, Atlas suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Soon, the banquet began. After Harvey came back, he regained his confidence and looked at Atlas
with a hint of resentment.
Ken Aniston and his wife warmly greeted the guests at the three tables. Ken Aniston felt a little guilty
when he heard that Atlas had given Zoee the one-million check.
After all, in the beginning, in order to please Quintin, he asked Atlas to apologize to Quintin.
Seeing that Atlas did not take the opportunity to ridicule him, Quintin began to jump around the next
table. He was extremely proud to be called Mr. Somberg respectfully by the others.
Helen suddenly whispered to Zoee, "I'm going to the bathroom. Do you want to go with me?"
"Okay!" Zoee agreed happily.
Girls liked to go to the bathroom together, which had become an iron law. It was not strange, and Atlas
did not care.
However, after a while, when Zoee and Helen did not come back, the door of the private room was
kicked open.
A bald young man with a three-inch-long scar on his left face came in, a cigarette dangling on his
mouth and a smirk on his face.
Behind him, there were seven or eight flippant young men. Zoee and Helen were also among them, but
they were escorted in.
Ken and Lily were shocked. Lily shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Let go of my daughter!"
As she spoke, Lily was about to rush forward.
Ken held her back and looked at the scar-faced man. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
A yellow-hair guy behind the man snorted, "Don't you even know Gunner? On this street, Gunner is the
boss!"
Harvey suddenly cried out in horror, "You are Gunner. You're working for Mr. Beckett Jackman!"
Gunner glanced at Harvey and said with a smile, "Oh, smart boy. Not bad, not bad."
People might not know Gunner, but when it came to Beckett Jackman in Lanceham, even toddlers
could say his name.
There was only one big shot in Lanceham, Beckett Jackman.
"It's Mr. Jackman's right-hand man. I'm sorry!" Ken quickly bowed. "But, Mr. Gunner, why did you detain
my daughter and her classmates? They are both young. If they have offended you, please be so kind
to forgive them!"
Ken said humbly. He couldn't afford to offend Mr. Jackman!
Yellow Hair who was standing next to Gunner said, "These two little girls dared attack Gunner. If
Gunner wasn't merciful enough, they would have been knocked down now."
"What! Gunner, how could the two little girls be so bold? Is there a misunderstanding?" Ken exclaimed.
Zoee shouted furiously, "Dad, don't listen to their nonsense. Helen and I came out of the bathroom.
This scar face flirted with Helen. He said something very vulgar and even molested her. I couldn't stand
it, so I pushed him. I didn't expect to be caught by them."
Gunner's face changed, and Yellow Hair hooted, "Shut up. Gunner saw that you two dressed well and
thought you were the hotel staff, so he asked you a few questions. But you are so rude and
unreasonable. You insulted Gunner and hit him. Now you are even lying. How despicable!"
Atlas found it a bit hilarious. Nowadays even hooligans knew how to take the moral high ground?
Zoee blushed and struggled to leave, but the two young men held her arms tightly.
"Nonsense. It was you who spoke rudely first, and you even touched us. You are the liars here!"
"Helen, tell everyone the truth!"
Helen was so scared that she kept crying and could not say a word.
Ken already understood what was going on. He trusted his daughter.
It must have been Gunner and the others who thought Helen was a waiter and wanted to flirt with her.
Zoee couldn't stand it, so she went at Gunner.
For hooligans like them, they definitely wouldn't spare her so easily.
However, the most important thing was that Beckett Jackman was behind them.
Ken looked at Gunner and managed a faint smile. He said, "The girls didn't know better. Mr. Gunner,
you’re an high-minded man. Please forgive them. Let us all sit down and have a drink. I'll apologize to
you!"
Yellow Hair sized Ken up and down with a sneer and shouted disdainfully, "Apologize to Gunner? Who
do you think you are?"
Ken blushed. Indeed, he had overestimated himself. Although Gunner was just a rogue, he was also a
rogue with a backer.
He couldn't even afford the consequences of offending Gunner, let alone Beckett Jackman.
As for calling the police, people with a little social experience would know better than that. This was the This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
resort.
Ken looked at Quintin. He was the only one with the highest status here. He hoped that these
hooligans could give him some face!
"Mr. Somberg, could you say something for me?" Ken pleaded.
Everyone looked at Quintin expectantly. If these hooligans were so bold to stir up troubles in front of
Quintin, it would be very embarrassing for Quintin as well.
Quintin was also in a dilemma at this moment. If they were any ordinary hooligans, he would have
stood up and stopped them.
However, Gunner was one of Mr. Jackman's men. Although it might be difficult for someone like
Gunner to meet Mr. Jackman for the rest of his life; however, if something really happened, Mr.
Jackman would still be on Gunner's side, because it was after all a matter of his own dignity.
However, so many eyes were focus on Quintin now. He had bragged and boasted. If he didn't stand out
now, he would definitely make himself a laughing stock.
