Aron Jackson had been in Gonzalez City for three years, but he had not come into conflict with the local elite.

For one, it was unnecessary and very troublesome, as he had to protect Julius Reed.

Secondly, with Ovidiu Cook suppressing things on the surface, the rest couldn’t stir up any significant trouble.

Moreover, these wealthy families had all chosen to befriend him, with no conflicts of interest arising.

Even the Brandon Family kept to their own, coexisting with a tacit understanding.

Therefore, Jaxen Brandon harbored a misconception, believing that all of Aron

Jackson’s activities were illicit and could not compare with the Brandon Family.

His family was undoubtedly the true king of Gonzalez City!

In recent years, having run rampant in Gonzalez City unopposed, he had never suffered a setback, thus he was extremely arrogant.

Today, having had his face smacked, Jaxen Brandon had to reclaim his reputation.

Currently, the most uncomfortable were the members of the Radcliffe Clan.

They wanted to leave but couldn’t, only able to sit there trembling with fear.

First, Jaxen Brandon, the top young master of Gonzalez City, appeared in the private room, and now Aron Jackson had also shown up.

These figures, who were usually only talked about, were now vividly present before them.

And upon meeting, they almost came to blows.

Quella Radcliffe stood beside Julius Reed, clutching his arms tightly, already frightened beyond measure.

“Everyone!”

Just then, the door to the private room was gently pushed open.

“I am the owner of Azure Percival, Ludo Cook.”

Ludo Cook, holding a glass of wine, said with a smile, “Having learned that Mr. Brandon and Aron Jackson are both visiting my establishment, I am tremendously honored! I would like to offer a toast to both of you, and I hope you will honor me by accepting it!”

Having said that, he gently raised his glass.

The servers behind him poured the wine, placing it on trays and presenting it to the two men.

“So, it’s Boss Cook! My father often mentions you—pleased to meet you!” Jaxen Brandon picked up the glass and drained it in one gulp.

Ludo Cook was the younger brother of Ovidiu Cook, the wealthiest man in Gonzalez City, owning not only the Azure Percival Hotel but also several five-star restaurants.

Though his assets didn’t match his brother’s, his connections were quite extensive.

Moreover, whenever Ovidiu Cook’s Titan Group went out to dine, they would certainly choose this place.

Unseen, Ludo Cook had made connections with many high-ranking officials and people from various walks of life.

It could be said that Ludo Cook also held a significant reputation in Gonzalez City.

Being toasted personally by today’s host made Jaxen Brandon feel very honored.

“Aron Jackson?”

Ludo Cook looked towards Aron Jackson with a smile.

Jaxen Brandon had already drunk, and now it was Aron Jackson’s turn.

“Cheers! ”

Aron Jackson picked up the glass and downed the contents in one go.

He was acquainted with Ludo Cook and did so as a gesture of respect.

“With both of you gathered here today, I am greatly honored! And since it happens to be Mr. Brandon’s birthday, consider this meal on the house! All expenses waived!”

Ludo Cook turned towards Jaxen Brandon, smiling slightly.

This meal would cost at least a million, and although the Brandon Family didn’t lack money, it was still a significant gesture of goodwill.

This truly gave Jaxen Brandon face.

“Boss Cook, you’re too kind! But let’s keep things separate, I am a businessman. The money that should be paid, I, young master Brandon, will not owe you a dime!”

Although Jaxen Brandon never cared about money, with Ludo Cook giving him such respect, he was elated.

The young people present were all affluent youths of Gonzalez City. Once word of this got out, Jaxen Brandon’s reputation was sure to soar.

However, the next words from Ludo Cook dampened his spirits.

“Mr. Brandon, it’s your birthday; surely you want to be happy. Let’s put today’s matter to rest! Everyone can compromise a little, and consider it making a new friend!”

Ludo Cook had already received a report from Tobias Percival and knew that the two hottest figures in Gonzalez City were causing a stir at his hotel; how could he ignore it?

He knew Jaxen Brandon’s character very well—arrogant and overbearing. He certainly wouldn’t let things go easily.

As for Aron Jackson, how could he possibly yield to a youngster?

With no choice, he had to come out as the mediator.

“Boss Cook, it’s not that I don’t respect you, but Aron Jackson is going a bit too far!”

Jaxen Brandon licked his lips, looked at Aron Jackson, and snorted softly, “Some people have been comfortable for too long, thinking that the whole world owes them respect! But what does he really amount to?”

Ludo Cook’s brows furrowed, sensing trouble.

Jaxen Brandon was used to throwing his weight around all day, with little interaction with these underground forces, much like the fearless naivety of a newborn calf.

But Aron Jackson was not so easily provoked!

“No need for further discussion! Today, Aron Jackson can leave, but this person must stay behind!”

Jaxen Brandon pointed at Julius Reed, his eyes filled with raging fury!

“Then let’s see if you’ve got what it takes!”

Julius Reed grabbed Quella Radcliffe’s hand and said with a smile, “Let’s go!”

“You dare!”

Jaxen Brandon’s face darkened, and his men immediately blocked the doorway.

“Those who block me, die.”

Julius Reed said with a faint smile, pulling Quella Radcliffe toward the doorway.

Behind them, members of Dominating Tiger immediately formed a human barrier, keeping Jaxen Brandon’s men to the side.

“Julius, I… ‘

Quella Radcliffe was somewhat afraid; she had never seen such a scene before.

“You might as well call me ‘husband’; it would be better.”

Julius Reed said with a faint smile, wrapping his arm around her and continuing to walk forward.

“Attack! ”

Jaxen Brandon gritted his teeth, his voice almost a roar!

Upon hearing this, Quella Radcliffe visibly trembled and stood still, not daring to move.

The Brandon Family, she simply couldnt afford to provoke them.

“Don’t be afraid!”

Julius Reed patted her head and whispered, “I’m here.”

The young men beside them immediately rushed forward to confront Aron Jackson’s men.

Bang!

Just then, the private room door was once again pushed open.

Many people flooded in.

Following the first wave of people, more came in dribs and drabs.

These were all people called by the young masters to support Jaxen Brandon.

Fortunately, the emperor’s room was big enough to accommodate over a hundred people.

“Nephew, what’s going on! ”

A brawny man came to the young man’s side and asked, known as Flower Snake.

He had been doing quite well these past years.

Having received a call from his nephew, he came rushing over with his followers without any questions.

“Someone with no eyes offended Mr. Brandon, and I’d like to ask for your help!”

A young man said with a smile.

“Brother Flower Snake, I’ve heard of your name!”

Jaxen Brandon went over to shake hands with Flower Snake, his face full of smiles.

“I’m curious to see which blind bastard dared to offend Mr. Brandon!” Flower Snake bellowed, looking around.

“Flower Snake, you’ve been doing quite well recently, even daring to call me ‘bastard’!”

Aron Jackson came over with his hands behind his back, smiling at Flower Snake.

“Aron… Aron Jackson!”

Flower Snake’s eyes bulged, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Others might not know how fearsome Aron Jackson was, but he knew it all too well.

Back then, Flower Snake’s own brother had been beaten to death by Aron

Jackson, which is why he led his brothers to pledge allegiance to Aron Jackson. “Weren’t you saying you were going to kill me just now?”

Aron Jackson walked up to Flower Snake and gently patted his face, “Open your eyes wide and look carefully! This is my elder brother, this is my sister-in-law. Whoever dares to trouble them in Gonzalez City, I’ll dig up his ancestor’s grave!”

In front of half of Gonzalez City’s bigwigs, he addressed Julius Reed as elder brother and Quella Radcliffe as sister-in-law, shocking everyone!

Especially Quella Radcliffe, who was utterly bewildered.

She couldn’t accept everything that had happened today.

“Let’s go!”

With Quella Radcliffe still there, Julius Reed didn’t want to make a big scene.

“Stop right there!”

Slap!

Before Jaxen Brandon could finish speaking, Julius Reed slapped him across the face!

“I’ve tolerated you for a long time!”

He stared at Jaxen Brandon, his eyes flashing with a cold glint..
