Chapter 352: 352 The Secret of the Bar_1

“Kid, you’ve got an eye!”

The security guards felt much better after hearing this.

“But don’t think you can escape a beating! This is for your own good, to teach you a lesson. If it were anyone else, they would have broken your legs!”

Finn Carmichael took a deep breath, knowing that if he didn’t speak up now, he might have to stay silent forever.

“That, this person is my friend, you guys go on down.”

He swallowed, sweat streaming down his forehead.

“What!”

The security guards all paused, somewhat unable to accept this reality.

Could this penniless drunk actually know the manager?

“Manager, are you mistaken?”

The security guard pointed at Julius Reed: “This piece of trash, how do you know him? Don’t let him deceive you, I’ll take care of him right now!”

After speaking, a few guards exchanged glances and surrounded Julius Reed.

“Get lost! Can’t you hear what I’m saying? All of you, get lost!”

Finn Carmichael hurried over, grabbed one of the security guards, and swung back with a slap!

Smack!

With that slap, all the security guards froze.

Blinking their eyes, they quickly said, “Manager, you’re busy.”

Like rabbits, they were ready to scurry away.

“Hold on!”

Julius Reed spoke up.

“Stand still! Didn’t you hear me? Get back here!”

Finn Carmichael immediately called the guards back as they tried to run away.

“Manager, what is it…”

The security guards, heads down, were all very fearful.

Finn Carmichael was a tough man, otherwise, he couldn’t have made a stance in Five-river Province. Now that they had offended him, they were scared out of their wits.

But Finn Carmichael didn’t speak. Instead, he looked to Julius Reed, his true master and the behind-the-scenes owner of the Paper Drunk Golden Tavern.

“I just heard someone say that if I knew the manager, he’d stand on his head and eat shit, right?”

Julius Reed asked with a grin.

The guard who had spoken earlier turned green, his legs trembling with fear.

Who would have expected this unknown young man to actually know the manager?

“Yes…”

The guard murmured, face turning green.

“Louder, I can’t hear you.”

Julius Reed asked languidly.

“Can’t you hear when people talk? Bring out the strength you had when you were nursing, and say it again for me!”

Finn Carmichael strode over, grabbed the security guard by the collar, and bellowed, “Repeat it!”

“Yes!”

The security guard yelled, his back already soaked.

The others stood trembling, each having taken part in mocking Julius Reed earlier.

“What was it?”

Julius Reed turned around and asked with a smile.

“I stand on my head and eat shit!”

The security guard shouted, his body shaking like a sieve.

“That’s fine, someone take him and watch closely! Make sure he eats plenty, fills up.”

Julius Reed patted the guard’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Consider it my treat, don’t be shy.”

“Thank you…”

The guard’s face was streaked with tears.

“Brothers, sorry about this!”

The other security guards exchanged looks, choosing to protect themselves. They grabbed the guard and pushed him toward the restroom.

“After you…”

Seeing that no one else was around, Finn Carmichael immediately opened the door to the manager’s office, inviting Julius Reed inside.

“It should have been like this from the beginning.”

Julius Reed strode in with large steps.

The manager’s office was luxurious, spanning over eighty square meters.

It was fully equipped, not only with a bed but also many telephones, several safes, and a television set.

“You’ve made it quite nice here, Finn Carmichael. You must have enjoyed yourself quite a bit these past years?”

Julius Reed looked around and said indifferently.

Thump!

With no outsiders present, Finn Carmichael knelt directly in front of Julius Reed, trembling as he said, “Please punish me, Young Master! Finn Carmichael’s loyalty to you is unwavering, heaven and earth can bear witness! If there’s even a hint of disrespect, may I be struck by lightning!”

He thought Julius Reed’s words were a warning to him, suggesting he had grown complacent and somewhat disobedient.

If that were truly the case, there was only one outcome—a dead end!

“Stand up and talk. If I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t have made it through that door!”

Julius Reed turned, waved his hand, took a seat in Finn’s executive chair, and slowly spun around.

“This chair is really nice, quite soft! How much did it cost?”

“To answer the Young Master,”

Finn got up from the floor, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. “Not much, just over five million.”

The chair was imported from overseas and was expensive, but compared to the income of Paper Drunk Golden Tavern, it was nothing!

“Wow! You really do throw your weight around now, thinking five million is not much. So, what is considered expensive?”

Julius Reed smiled at Finn, but that smile sent chills down the latter’s spine.

Thump!

Finn, who had just gotten up, knelt down once again.

He was shaking all over with fear, “Mr. Reed, I…I… ”

“Why are you kneeling again!”

Julius Reed sighed, “We haven’t seen each other for years, can’t we talk standing up, without always kneeling?”

“Your subordinate spoke arrogantly, please punish me, Young Master!”

Finn pressed his head firmly to the ground, his body shaking.

He knew all too well the means of this young man before him—unparalleled under the heavens!

“Finn, what is this!”

Julius Reed gestured with his hand, “Get up! After so many years with me, if you don’t even have that bit of pride, you’re truly incompetent!”

“Young Master, you…you… ”

Finn was utterly bewildered. Was the Young Master not blaming him?

“Stand up and talk, I need the intelligence you’ve gathered over these past three years.”

Julius Reed put away the smile on his face and pointed at the door, “Is it safe?”

“Absolutely safe!”

Finn walked to the door and locked it, “The door is soundproof, no one can hear anything. Plus, the material is thick, even explosives would hardly blast it open!”

“That’s good.”

Julius Reed nodded, “Recently I encountered a mysterious woman, I want to know if you have any intelligence on her.”

Paper Drunk Golden Tavern was an intelligence system he’d established himself, the bar’s mixed crowd made it particularly easy to collect information without attracting attention.

Nobody would suspect anything happening here.

“It’s all here.”

Finn walked to the safe, took out a stack of files, and neatly laid them out in front of Julius Reed.

“As for the woman you mentioned, I honestly don’t know who she is.”

It’s impossible to determine with just a vague description of a woman.

But among these messages, there were many about women.

“Almost all the intelligence from the past three years is here. When you suddenly disappeared three years ago, I had nowhere to send these, so I kept them all.”

Finn introduced in a low voice.

Previously, every month, Julius Reed would send someone to pick up these reports from the bar.

There was a bar like this in almost every city.

But after the accident three years ago, he lost his memory, and it was only a few days ago that he recalled the existence of this bar.

The entire Five-river Province was under the surveillance of this intelligence network.

Setting up this network was a task that had cost Julius Reed a great deal of effort.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Just then, there was a sudden knocking at the door.
