Zane Percival’s family also did business in Gonzalez City and usually got along quite well with Bran Cook.

Their family had business dealings with the Cook family as well.

Now that Bran Cook had returned from the capital, he was even more esteemed, and the Percival family was particularly eager to strengthen their relationship with the Cook family.

Once they connected with Bran Cook, it would mean a vast inflow of wealth.

That day at the wine party, Zane Percival and others had personally witnessed Bran Cook being humiliated.

Now this ignorant man called Amos Davenport had actually bumped into them, there was no reason not to take care of him!

If they dealt with Amos Davenport, Bran Cook would be pleased and might think more highly of them.

That would also mean Zane Percival would gain more recognition within his family.

But he didn’t know how many people were in Amos Davenport’s private room, so to be on the safe side, Zane Percival decided to check things out first.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Following the knocking sound, Zane Percival pushed open the door to the private room where Julius Reed and his group were.

“Who are you?”

Lewis Leocadia, who was singing, was somewhat displeased to see someone enter.

“I’m Zane Percival. Today is my birthday, and I’m covering the costs for everyone here!”

Zane Percival walked in with a bottle of wine in hand and carefully looked around, discovering there were only five people in the room.

Three women and two men, it looked like two families gathered together for a celebration.

“Really?”

Upon hearing that it wouldn’t cost her anything, Knox Ridge was thrilled.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

She had thought it was going to be quite an expense!

The spending at Copper Quey in Gonzalez City was quite high, and playing for a few hours could cost at least a thousand or eighteen hundred bucks!

And if they had some beer and fruit, it would be even more expensive!

“Happy birthday to you!”

She quickly stood up, holding a drink to toast Zane Percival.

“Thank you!”

Zane Percival nodded and poured himself a drink too.

Just then, Julius Reed returned to the room and asked upon seeing Zane Percival, “Who is this…?”

“Hello, I’m Zane Percival. Today is my birthday, and I’m covering for everyone’s expenses at Copper Quey!”

Zane Percival sized him up, certain that this was the man in front of him.

Back at the wine party, he had stood out from the crowd, even Itai Huntington had looked at him with high regard.

But this man had seriously offended Bran Cook.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“It’s Younger Percival! What a pleasure to meet you!”

Julius Reed quickly grabbed a drink, toasted with Zane Percival, and introduced, “These are my uncles and aunts, this is my sister, but this guy is my best buddy! Lewis Leocadia, Brother Lewis!”

Upon his words, everyone was stunned, but Knox Ridge was actually quite pleased.

At least her son-in-law knew not to reveal their true status in front of others, to avoid mockery.

But what kind of person was Zane Percival? He had naturally seen Quella Radcliffe before and knew she was Amos Davenport’s girlfriend right in front of him.

The reason he hadn’t acknowledged it might be that the uncles and aunts present didn’t approve.

However, this Lewis Leocadia intrigued him.

“My brother Lewis Leocadia might be wealthy, returned from abroad with a business and worth over a hundred million!”

Julius Reed pointed at Lewis Leocadia and bragged extensively, “We’ve known each other since childhood, just like real brothers!”

Lewis Leocadia had wanted to object, but upon hearing Julius Reed’s introduction of him, he felt elated.

Why would he expose the lie when he could meet such a wealthy young man who was generously picking up the tab for the place?

Moreover, in his eyes, Julius Reed’s flattery was just a way to curry favor and latch onto his success.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“As the saying goes, it’s not polite to hit someone who’s extending a handshake, especially not someone who’s praising you.”

“Young Master Leocadia, what a pleasure!”

Zane Percival quickly went over, grabbed Lewis Leocadia’s hand, but a subtle smile flickered across his face.

“Younger Percival! A pleasure indeed!”

Lewis Leocadia, bolstered by his fabricated identity and the chance to know such a big spender, was extremely proud.

He looked at Julius Reed as if to say well done.

“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading out first!”

After Zane Percival had scoped out the situation, he was ready to come back with people for revenge!

“`

“Take your time leaving! Happy birthday, Younger Percival!”

Lewis Leocadia saw him to the door, throwing in a few cordial words for good measure.

“Thanks, Young Master Leocadia!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Zane Percival replied perfunctorily before turning to head back to his private room.

The smile on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a glint of ruthlessness!

“Oh no! I left my phone in the bathroom, I need to go back for it!”

Julius Reed slapped his forehead and hurried out.

“Go on! You couldn’t even afford a new one if you lost that junk phone!”

Lewis Leocadia mocked, continuing to sit and sing.

He called over a server and ordered a few more bottles of alcohol and some fruit.

Someone else was paying, after all, so why not indulge?

The gloom from being beaten up earlier was completely forgotten; he was now immersed in his joy.

These past few days in Gonzalez City, he had been scheming to get friendly with young Percival, so that come the New Year, he’d have some bragging rights.

Otherwise, penniless back in his hometown, how would he get through the New Year?

But at that moment, the door was kicked open!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Who the hell! Are you sick in the head!”

He cursed loudly, but as soon as he recognized the person coming in, he quickly stood up with a smile, “Younger Percival, it’s you!”

The visitor was none other than Zane Percival!

Behind him followed a dozen or so young men.

“Younger Percival, did you want something from me?”

Thinking he had grown familiar with Zane Percival, Lewis Leocadia walked over to ask.

“‘Younger Percival’ my ass!”

Bang!

A young man behind Zane Percival suddenly lashed out with a kick, sending Lewis Leocadia flying onto the ground: “You dare to call him ‘Younger Percival’? Who the hell do you think you are!”

The man cursed while slapping Lewis Leocadia across the face twice.

“What are you doing! I’m friends with Younger Percival, have you lost your minds!”

Lewis Leocadia yelled from the ground, covering his face.

Having had drinks with Zane Percival, he naturally considered himself a friend.

Moreover, he’s now the worth-over-a-billion boss!

These bumpkins had the gall to hit him!

“Friends?”

Zane Percival snorted coldly: “Who’s your friend?”

“Didn’t we just have a drink, Younger Percival?”

Lewis Leocadia hadn’t quite grasped what was happening—weren’t they just sharing drinks and merry words? How had everything changed so suddenly?

But what he didn’t know was that Zane Percival’s visit was meant to test the waters.

Friends, are we?

“You think you’re worthy to drink with Younger Percival?”

Several youths stepped forward, grabbed the beer from the table, and poured it all over Lewis Leocadia: “I’m letting you drink, have your fill!”

They had heard from Zane Percival that this was Amos Davenport’s best friend!

Since Amos Davenport wasn’t around, they would take their anger out on this guy first!

“Where’s Amos Davenport?”

Zane Percival looked around and asked.

Just a moment ago he was in the private room, how did he disappear so quickly?

“Amos Davenport? Who’s Amos Davenport, I don’t know! You got the wrong person, right?”

Lewis Leocadia murmured, his face soaked with beer and his clothes thoroughly drenched.

But what mattered most was that he still didn’t understand why he was being beaten!

“Don’t know! Fine! Hit him!”

Zane Percival coldly smirked, what a good friend indeed—seeing that he was there to trouble Amos Davenport, he promptly claimed not to recognize him!

In truth, Lewis Leocadia genuinely didn’t know; he only knew Julius Reed and had no idea who Amos Davenport was!
