Chapter 332 "Yes, sir," the secretary answered and immediately ran over to say politely, "Mister Chuke, Mister Young would like to have a conversation with you." "Which Mister Young?" asked James in an uncaring tone.
The secretary replied, "The person in charge of the East City District." "Tell him to come over here instead.
He's just in charge of a district. What a joke," said James coldly.
The secretary was dumbfounded. He could not believe James would be so uncooperative.
Declan Young was a district official, and they were in his turf. How could he

However, James chuckled and said, "I told you to get him to come over. Did I not make myself clear?" The secretary frowned and said coldly, "You'll have to deal with the consequences." Then, the secretary returned to Declan and passed on the message.
Declan blew a fuse immediately. What the hell was that guy thinking? How dare he be so uncooperative? "He's just a nobody from Woodstown.
How dare he dismiss you so
arrogantly? He will step all over you if vou don't teach him a lesson," Wade instigated by his side.
Declan scoffed. There were many rich businessmen in the East City District with net worths in the billions, and they were all polite and respectful towards Declan. However, an outsider like James actually dared to disrespect him so openly. How could he maintain his image as the person in charge of the district if news of this got out? "Let's go. We'll see who the hell he thinks he is." Declan walked toward James in anger.
The secretary, Wade, Zack, the manager, and Reggie followed behind him.
Declan arrived in front of James. He frowned and sized him up before
asking in a low voice, "How should 1 address you?" "I'm James Chuke of Woodstown," replied James in an uncaring tone.
Declan looked at him and the bodyguards who were knocked out on the ground. He frowned and asked, "Did you do that?" "That's right. They started it, soIwas only defending myself," replied James calmly.
Declan asked coldly, "Why did they attack?" "Tdon't know." James seemed firm.
His firm attitude enraged Declan. Ever since he was the person in charge of the district, no one dared to speak to him like that except his superiors. It

"I don't care about the reason. Assault is illegal. You also injured a lot of people. I think the official departments will need to handle this. Just you wait.
You'll be arrested soon enough." Declan told his secretary to inform the official departments.
'Such is the power of an official.
Someone will come to deal with you with a single command from me,’ Declan thought.
James smiled in the face of a threat. He asked, "Are you trying to arrest me? Aren't you a delusional one?" "Outrageous! Do you know who you're talking to?" Declan could not endure it anymore and scolded James angrily.
James smiled softly and replied, "So, you're just a district official. I thought you were some sort of big shot:"— "Dude, you're asking for trouble," Wade threatened.
James leaned on his club and looked at Wade with a faint smile. He said, "This is just a minor matter. It's far from getting myself into trouble." That was an insult toward Wade, and he also dismissed Declan by saying that.
Wilbur could sense that something was not right. James was behaving a little too boldly to be normal.
Declan was still a government official, after all. What good could come out of James offending Declan? |
