Chapter 208
Chapter 208
In his desperation, Levi had a moment of epiphany and understood the meaning behind his father's words at once. He quickly pointed at Alex and said, "It's him! He was going to run his car over an old man. I suspect that the old man was Ares in disguise!"
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone instantly came to their senses at the realization that the old man who suddenly appeared was the legendary Ares. They slapped themselves inwardly. How could they not recognize Ares in disguise? D*mn it! Still, wasn't Ares too freaky? How could he disguise himself as a filthy beggar?
It was not only them who thought that way; even Paige shared their sentiments. She felt wronged and depressed. She had never expected that the man she had worshiped since she was young would be a man in his sixties.
None of them had ever considered Kingsley to be Ares. The reasons being first, Alex mentioned that he had known Kingsley since a long time ago. Second, Kingsley was way too young. In any case, they weren't able to connect a young man in his early twenties with the legendary Ares. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Hearing Levi's words, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience all darted toward Alex like lasers.
"Who do you think you are? How could you try to run over Ares?"
"That's right! Which family is he from?"
"Where are his family elders? Come out! I want to see which family has the nerve to try to assassinate Ares!"
At the mention of assassinating Ares, everyone in the Wynn Family who had been hiding in the crowd was so scared that they started to shiver. This was a huge crime that would cost them their entire family!
With a loud thump, Elijah was the first to lose his footing and collapsed onto the ground.
Seeing that, someone pointed at the Wynn Family and yelled, "They're here! That person's family is here!"
Hearing that, all the guests standing around the Wynn Family retreated to the side one after another, leaving a large area of open space and exposing the Wynn Family, headed by Henry, in an instant.
In order to witness Ares' heroic appearance, the Wynn Family had all gathered at the banquet today. Henry, Clarence and Elijah, along with their family members, and all their other relatives were present. However, they did not expect that not only would they be unable to meet Ares, they would get themselves into such trouble because of someone else.
Henry's elderly face turned pale, and he whispered to Clarence, "This is the mess done by your son! Please deal with it!"
Clarence was about to start sobbing from fear. How could he solve this? Francis could rescue his son through the show that he put on just now, but he couldn't do the same. After all, Clark Corporation was only a small company that wasn't even as large as one of Ramada Corporation's subsidiaries. If he followed what Francis did and swung his chair, he believed that even if Alex died from head injuries, no one would come and smooth things over.
Francis glared at those trembling Wynns and shouted furiously, "Which family are you from? Tell me!"
Henry was convulsing in horror to the point that he could not even speak. The rest of the Wynn Family were even worse off. They were all so terrified that they had collapsed on the ground with their eyes rolled back.
Only Clarence stammered, "M-Mr. Stein, we're from the Wynn Family... The Wynn Family of Clark Corporation from the Roseland Chamber of Commerce…"
"The Wynn Family? Aren't you just an irrelevant second-class family?" Francis scoffed disdainfully at them. "A member of your family attempted to assassinate Ares and even got my son and other young masters in trouble. How are you going to pay for this?"
"Uh… I…." Clarence trembled like a leaf as he roared at Alex, "Alex! Say something! What the hell is going on? Look at what you've dragged our family into!"
On the other hand, Alex had already soiled his pants in fear.
"How would I know that person was Ares? I only got angry and acted rashly because he messed with my Lamborghini!" Trembling in his damp pants, he cried bitterly, "That was a car I rented for 35 thousand a day! I felt bad!"
Hearing that, Levi immediately lost his temper before Clarence could respond.
"You've got to be kidding me! You rented that car?" He nearly blew a fuse at Alex's words. "35 thousand? You felt bad just because of 35 thousand?"
Levi was truly up in arms. He was only willing to be friends with Alex because he thought that he was also part of a rich family. When he realized that he had been deceived, he was so furious that he had the urge to kill Alex right then and there. After all, if it weren't for him, how would he have wound up like this today?
Levi gritted his teeth and said, "Alex, you better watch out! I'm gonna get back at you sooner or later!"
