Life at The Top novel Chapter 586

“I’ll have someone prepare the things for you at the Orchid Bar downstairs. Go find a few women to fool around with tonight. Without my explicit orders, you’re not to return for the time being,” Zayden spoke calmly.

Terence’s eyes shone as he received the money. Holding it in his hands, he immediately beamed and left after saying words of gratitude.

Zayden scoffed as he watched Terence leave and chided, “Useless piece of trash. Go, spend that f*cking money. The more you spend, the faster you’ll die!”

As he thought about that, Zayden then dialed a number to Harbor City.

“It’s me, Mr. Langdon. Zayden Hanks.”

Zayden spoke on the phone courteously.

The person on the other end harrumphed after a long pause and replied calmly, “Didn’t I tell you not to contact me unless necessary?”

Zayden felt his heart lurch as he replied, “There’s been an accident and I think I might have been exposed.”

Zayden then proceeded to relay everything that had happened today.

As he spoke, it never crossed his mind that his careful and polite demeanor now was no different from how Terence was with him moments ago.

After Zayden was done, the man on the other end raged. “You useless piece of trash! Just how useless are you that you can’t even do something so simple? It’s only been a few days and you’re already exposed?”

Zayden replied frightfully, “It’s mainly because I’ve found myself a useless pawn.”

“And whose fault is that? Do you think you’d still find such useless pawns if you were any better yourself?

Half an hour later, Zayden was standing at the entrance of a hotel. Seeing a middle-aged man walk over from afar, Zayden approached with a smile and greeted, “Please come in, Uncle Sirius. I’ve been waiting for this dinner for a long time.”

Sirius clapped Zayden’s shoulder with a wide smile and spoke, “I only knew you returned when your dad told me. Still, you’re my nephew, aren’t you? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back? I’d have someone fetch you if I knew.”

Zayden ushered Sirius to the private room with a smile and said, “I experienced quite a few things when I was in Harbor City. It was only then that I found out how insignificant the fame I had before was. The more capable a person, the more they should keep a lower profile.”

Sirius replied meaningfully, “I heard that you made great progress over in Harbor City and you’ve gotten acquainted with the wealthy families there. Looks like the rumors were right.”

Zayden sat beside Sirius and smiled faintly. “A big shot did indeed take a liking to me. That’s also why I’m back this time, because the big shot wants me to do something for them.

“Let’s not talk about me anymore, Uncle Sirius. What do you think about what I had my dad discuss with you? There’s been a change of plans now, so you might want to decide quickly if you want in on it before it’s too late.”
