Chapter 60 Someone You Can't Afford To Offend
However, Harvey smiled and said, "Auntie, let me try!"
Gunner looked at Harvey with a strange smile on his face.
"Who are you?" Gunner asked.
"My name is Harvey Channing, and my father is Philip Channing!" Harvey replied politely.
Gunner nodded and said, "Philip Channing? I know. Tai Fook Supermarket is run by your family, isn't it?"
"Yes, Gunner, you have a good memory!" Harvey flattered him.
Ken looked at Harvey in surprise. "Is Harvey's father on good terms with Gunner?"
If that was the case, that would be great.
The other students also looked at Harvey in surprise. The limelight that had been stolen by Atlas now came back.
Lily whispered to Ken, "This child has always been interested in Zoee. It's said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. This child has stepped forward when we are in danger. It can be seen that he has a good character!"
Ken also nodded and said, "Yes, he's a good kid, and he looked unflappable, which shows his leadership!"
They looked at Harvey as if they were sizing up their son-in-law.
Zoee said to Harvey apologetically, "Harvey, thank you!"
Georgie whispered beside Atlas with dissatisfaction, "Atlas, Harvey likes to show off. You should stand out first!"
Atlas looked at Harvey in an offhand sort of way. "Keep watching."
Gunner looked at Harvey with a smile and said, "Since you are Philip Channing's son, I won't give you a hard time. You can go!"
Harvey was stunned and his face changed dramatically. "Gunner, what do you mean?"
Gunner glanced at Harvey with scorn, "I mean you can get loss. Do you need me to make it clearer?"
...What was going on?
Just now, they were chatting with each other like good old friends, but in the blink of an eye Gunner's attitude changed so abruptly?
Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't understand the relationship between Gunner and Harvey.
Harvey was so angry that his face turned red. He knew that he had been deceived.
"Gunner, we had made an agreement that you would let them go when I stepped out to speak to you! Why didn't you keep your promise?" Agreement? Promise?... Wait, what did he mean?
Everyone immediately noticed that something was wrong. It seemed that the two had plotted this in advance! Everyone looked at Harvey with anger. It was not hero rescuing the damsel-in-distress, but a ridiculous farce!
Georgie asked excitedly, "Atlas, what does Harvey mean? Did he discuss this with Gunner in advance?"
Atlas gave a strange smile and said, "Keep watching."
Gunner looked at Harvey coldly, his face full of disdain. "My promise? What makes you think I'll promise you anything? I do whatever I want. Even if your father's here, he wouldn't dare ask me for anything! If you don't scram now, I'll deal with you first!"
Harvey suddenly felt a chill. He almost forgot that he could not afford to offend Gunner. Even his father Philip Channing dared not say no to Gunner.
Though Gunner did not keep his word, he could only swallow it. If Gunner demanded to slap on the left side of his cheek, he couldn't show him the right side.
"Gunner, I was wrong. I was in a hurry and forgot who I was. Please spare me this time!" After being scolded, Harvey had to beg Gunner for forgiveness with a big smile on his face.
Gunner looked up at the sky and laughed wildly. "You are smart. Off you go!"
Looking at Harvey's attitude toward Gunner, everyone looked at him with despise. He was too shameless.
Gunner skimmed over the crowd and said with a grin, "What's wrong? Can't you understand? Let me tell you. Just now, that boy called me to come here. He had planned all this. But this boy was naïve. How could I be used by him so easily? I'm the one using him!"
Behind him, Yellow Hair immediately flattered, "Gunner is wise!"
"Harvey, you are really a bastard!" Georgie cursed loudly.
Ken and Lily were so enraged that they almost fainted.
"Damn you! All of this was because of you! I was just wondering why the two girls would offend someone for no reason!" Lily pointed at Harvey with a fuming face.
Ken glanced at Harvey coldly and snarled, "Don't come near our house in the future!"
Zoee was also panting heavily. "Harvey, you are really a bastard. And to think that I thanked you just now!"
Harvey blushed with shame and wished he could dig a hole to hide in. Hank Young and the others who followed Harvey also felt their faces burning with shame. Gunner said impatiently, "Well, now you understand. Hurry up and transfer the money."
Knowing that Harvey was the real culprit, Ken didn't hate Gunner so much.
"Wait a minute, I'll do it immediately!"
"Wait a minute!"
A calm and clear voice suddenly sounded. The people who thought that the matter was about to be settled all looked in the direction of the voice.
Under everyone's gaze, Atlas slowly stood up and looked at Gunner indifferently. He said in a flat voice, "Let them go."
Zoee immediately became panicky and yelled to Atlas, "Atlas, what are you doing? Sit down, it's none of your business!"
Georgie also hurriedly pulled Atlas under the table and whispered, "Atlas, are you crazy? Sit down!"
After Ken learned that Atlas had given Zoee a one million check, he felt guilty about Atlas. Now that he saw Atlas stand up at a critical moment, his admiration for Atlas soared again. "Atlas, I appreciate your kindness, but you can't manage it. Sit down!"
Ken winked at Atlas, hinting for him not to meddle with this. He knew that Atlas was rich, but if Gunner found out and took the opportunity to blackmail Atlas again, it would be a greater loss. If he gave Gunner fifty thousand now, the problem was solved. Ken didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Lily also advised, "Atlas, listen to him. Sit down!"
Quintin, who had finished making his phone call, snorted, "This guy likes to show off so much. It's best for Gunner to teach you a lesson!"
Atlas's gaze darted from Zoee to Lily.
"Don't worry, everyone. He's just a hooligan. I can handle him."
"
Everyone was speechless.
He called Gunner a hooligan right in his face, and now he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
Sure enough, Gunner's face suddenly darkened. He looked at Atlas and said in a low voice, "Boy, who are you?"
Gunner was not stupid. Atlas must have something to rely on that gave him the courage to stand out at this time. He needed to figure that out. This was also the secret of how he could survived till this day.
Atlas put his hands into his trouser pockets, raised his head slightly, and said with contempt, "I'm someone you can't afford to offend."
Yellow Hair cursed, "Son of a bitch! How dare you talk to Gunner like that!"
Gunner waved his hand to stop Yellow Hair and stared at Atlas gloomily. "Let me ask you again, who are you?"
"Are you deaf?" Atlas said impatiently, "Listen up, I'll say it again."
"I'm someone you can't afford to offend in your entire life!"
