Her Majesty novel Chapter 48

Last night was really an unhappy night. Amanda and I were unhappy, early in the morning she left angrily, even not talking to me.

When Ben came back, it was already nearly 11 o'clock. He looked haggard, it could be told that he was tortured by a woman last night.

He glared at me and asked, “Justin, how was your night? I made room for you and Amanda.”

I said feebly, “Good, good.”

Ben smiled, he certainly misunderstood me from his wretched smile, but I would not tell him about the disgraceful thing, so I smiled too.

After a while, Ben asked me, “Justin, now we have Mayor Chang in our back, what is your plan?”

I thought for a while and said, “First of all, we need to do a good job in the business district. Mayor Chang is very optimistic about this project. By the way, where are Sabina and others? Don't they live here anymore?”

“Well, this is my house. Everyone was crowded here to recuperate in the past. They have their own accommodation. Sabina has always been elusive, she would show up and she needs to. You don't have to worry about her.” Ben said with a smile.

“Oh, I see.” I nodded.

“Right, Justin, here you are, password is 645781.” Ben gave me a bank credit card.

I was curious and asked, “What is this?”

“Here's all the money I've made over the years, and the money we got from the bank for this project, and you'll be in charge of the money from now on.” Ben said generously.

“No. Just keep the money and I'll get it when I need it.” I said.

“What am I doing with the money? You're the boss now. You should be in charge of the money.” Ben said seriously.

I cannot refuse, but said, “I will take it. I think we'll have to find an accountant.”

Ben smiled and said, “Amanda will be the best candidate.”

I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

At this time, Leon, one of the Ben’s men came in a hurry.

He looked upset and said to us, “Ben, Justin, something was wrong.”

Ben’s face darkened and asked, “What is going on?”

The man said, “Recently we are not busy with the demolition. We have reached an agreement with the people there, leaving the last one, who refused.”

Ben was relaxed after hearing that, he asked, “People are different. There will be someone like this. Give him more money.”

Leon was aggrieved and said, “We did. And we paid him one time higher of price, but that person did not agree and seemed to embarrass us intentionally.”

Ben’s face darkened, he said coldly, “Damn, if this is abroad, I will chop him up tonight to feed the fish.”

I hastened to persuade him, “Ben, don't be impulsive. Don't forget that we are to take friends to do the right things. Now our purpose is to make money. Don't make trouble.”

Ben calmed down, but said angrily, “What should we do? If we don’t show him our ability, he will look down on us.”

I was about to talk, Leon said, “Yes, they are going too far. Today we were to talk with him, but this guy incredibly found more than 10 hooligans waiting for us there. We only had three people. They came to beat us after taking for a while.”

“Bill's head has been broken, Jack is now taking him to the hospital. I came here to tell you.” Leon said with a face of anger.

“What?” Ben stood up. His expression was like to kill people. He looked at Leon maliciously for a while and suddenly burst into laughter, “Good, good, good. I want to see who is so brave, even dared to beat my friends!”

“Leon, call everybody!” Ben said maliciously, and then walked toward his room.

“Ok!” Leon shouted excitedly, ran out to make a phone call.

I was so anxious that I was like a cat on hot bricks. I didn't know which one to advice.

After a while, Ben came out with a pistol. Before I could see him, I felt a fierce temperament.

I hurriedly pulled him and said, “Ben, calm down, calm down. Put the gun down. It's a big deal if you use a gun.”

Ben roared, “Justin, don't try to persuade me. We need to get rid of them, or in the future everyone dares to bully us. We need to set up our authority today.”

I froze for a moment, and thought Ben was reasonable, but it was not right to use a gun. I said to Ben, “Ok, we go there to see first. You put the gun down first and use it when necessary.”

Finally Ben put down the gun. At this time Leon finished all phone calls. After a while, two vans parked outside Ben’s villa.

Except for the Bill who was in hospital, others arrived. Although there were only eight of them, they were all of a bleak temperament and strong body. I estimated that they can deal with those dozen rascals, but it would be better not to fight.

Ben glanced at the gang, waved his hand and shouted, “Get in the car!”

Two vans and a black BMW sped toward the demolition area.

I was very hesitant in the car. Mayor Chang said that I should report to him no matter what things happened. Should I tell him about this matter?

After thinking for a long time, I still decided not to call him, because I thought it would not be a big case with me here. Since it was a small case, there was no need to bother Mayor Chang.

The perimeter of the demolition zone had become almost a construction site, with bulldozers and excavators humming and several trucks parked as if waiting to haul waste.

As we drove down the dilapidated road, a two-story building appeared in front of us. It looked old, its walls cracked, and it looked like a dangerous building.

The north wall of the building was painted with the word “demolition” in large letters.

Two young men were standing outside smoking. When they saw us, they ran into the building, shouting and screaming.

In a short while, a dozen fierce men in bare arms with tattoos, carrying sticks and bricks, walked towards us menacingly.
