Chapter 317

“Are you calling to plead on Kelvin’s behalf?”

Carlisle already knew Kelvin was connected to Wade. With Wade calling, it was clear he was trying to

advocate for Kelvin.

Wade hesitated and stammered, “B–boss, I took 100 thousand dollars from that dude’s father, promising to look out for him. If I’d known you two had issues, I wouldn’t have taken the money.”

He paused, lowering his voice

“Could you do me a favor and let him off this time?”

Carlisle responded coolly, I’m not planning to cause him any trouble.”

Wade felt a surge of relief.

“Thank you, boss. Thank you. If he ever disobeys, I’ll take care of it for you.”

“Nah. I don’t want freshmen or sophomores. I’m only interested in upperclassmen.”

“Well.. Alright then,” Wade replied with a resigned chuckle.

“Is there anything else, or can I hang up?” Carlisle asked indifferently.

“N–No, nothing else,” Wade replied.

Carlisle ended the call the next second.

Daniel had already opened the car door for Carlisle.

As Carlisle got into the car, Kelvin followed, asking, “Carl, let me join your team!”

Carlisle shut the car door without saying a word.

He had already shown leniency by not confronting Kelvin. Allowing Kelvin to join his team would be

humiliating.

After all, Kelvin had spread rumors and slandered Wanda in the group chat, making her cry.

As Francis drove off, Kelvin stood there, stunned.

Wade called Kelvin.

Kelvin, feeling lost, answered, “Bass…”

“I already did what I can. Carl won’t come after you, but he won’t let you join his team either. Also, our

deal still stands. J

be more careful in the future,” Wade said before hanging up abruptly.

As Carlisle headed to A1 Seafood Restaurant, he got Mike’s phone number from a classmate and dialed

his class. She wasn’t too keen, but with encouragement from Mike’s friends, she reluctantly raised her

glass.

Just then, Mike’s phone rang on the table.

“Damn it…

Mike saw it was an unknown number and promptly hung up.

Before he could set the phone down, it rang again.

Mike answered angrily, “Who the hell is this?”

Carlisle chuckled lightly.

“Mike, it’s me, Carlisle.”

“What the fuck is wrong with you? I’m busy right now,” Mike snapped.

“Mike, I just got my allowance today. It’s tens of thousands of dollars. I plan to pay another year of protection fees, Carlisle replied calmly.

“Oh?”

Mike squinted slightly, smiling.

“It seems someone’s feeling generous today.”

Carlisle responded on the phone, “A wise man must know when to seize the opportunity.”

“Come to A1 Seafood Restaurant,” Mike said.

Carlisle didn’t reply and simply hung up.

Mike put down his phone and continued to raise his glass to the school belle.

“Let’s continue…

After hanging up, Carlisle called Sean.

Sean informed him he was having dinner with their team at A1 Seafood Restaurant.

After exchanging pleasantries, Carlisle hung up..

Then, he called Owen.
