Chapter 492: Blocking Cleve

Chapter 492: Blocking Cleve

Although Grace had only worked at the Lion Restaurant for a few days, she had heard of Cleve before.

The Lion Restaurant was the most high-end restaurant in Orange County, so there would inevitably be some gang bosses to guard the place. Cleve and his underlings were in charge of guarding the restaurant.

These people had arrived so soon, probably because someone had gone to inform them. When they came, they happened to see the scene of Lucas pressing the manager’s head onto the pile of food scraps on the floor.

Grace’s face instantly paled as she muttered, “Oh no… This is terrible! Lucas, I’ve implicated you again…”

After seeing these people come, the people nearby all became grave.

“Cleve is actually here too. Seems like he is in deep trouble. He won’t be unable to bear the consequences of his actions!”

“Who is Cleve? Why does everyone look so frightened and flustered? Is he that terrifying?”

“You’ve never heard of Cleve? He’s a big figure. Not only is this Lion Restaurant under his protection, but many of the businesses belonging to Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County, are too. Don’t you think he’s impressive?”

“What? The businesses belonging to the richest man in the county are under this man’s protection? Ethan Sawyer must admire and value him greatly, huh? This young man has already offended a Taylor heiress, and now he’s offended the Sawyers too. He’s offended two of the four major families in Orange County. I bet he’s doomed!”

“Exactly! I think this young man is definitely dead meat. It’s such a pity. I thought he was quite brave just now, but it’s such a shame that he can’t deal with the Taylors and the Sawyers.”

Many people felt extremely sorry for Lucas. Although he had just pressed the manager’s head directly onto the filthy food on the floor, which was very much to the pleasure of the other patrons that felt unjust for Grace, Lucas was alone after all. Besides, they also assumed, based on Gisele’s words, that Lucas was extremely poor and didn’t have a powerful background or identity to rely on.

They felt that this young man would definitely end up in a miserable plight in Cleve’s hands!

The manager, who was being pressed to the floor, started begging Cleve for help when he saw him, as if he had found his savior. “Cleve! Cleve, quickly save me! I…” Retch! “I’m going to be bullied to death by this punk! You… you must do me justice!”

The person addressed as Cleve merely glanced at the manager contemptuously before turning away without bothering to save the pig-like manager being pinned onto the ground.

When he glanced at Grace, a trace of obvious amazement immediately appeared in his eyes, and when he saw the waitress uniform she was wearing, his eyes began to look a little lewd.

What a gorgeous babe! Why haven’t I discovered her in the restaurant before? Cleve thought lustfully.

Grace had naturally discovered that Cleve was gawking at her in a repulsive manner, and she was so scared that she couldn’t help cowering behind Lucas.

Cleve’s fiery sight was blocked by Lucas, and only then did he begin to look at Lucas, the young man who caused the commotion in the restaurant.

“Kid, you’ve got some nerve. How dare you cause trouble in my territory? You must have a death wish!” Cleve narrowed his eyes, and his arm muscles began twitching with an intimidating aura.

Generally, people would shudder in horror when sensing his aura, and those who were timid would even be frightened to the point of peeing their pants, exposing the unsightly sides of themselves.

But the young man in front of him was not the same as the others. Despite facing his tyrannical and intimidating stance, Lucas kept a straight face, as if he couldn’t feel it at all. He was still pressing the manager’s head against the floor as he said in a flat and composed tone, “You had the nerve to say that in front of me. You’re the one with a death wish.”

Cleve was stunned, and immediately after, he laughed out loud. “Hahahaha, interesting. You’re the first person who dared to talk to me like that!”

The others began whispering to each other.

“Damn it. I thought he was a smart guy, but I didn’t expect him to be stupid enough to mock Cleve right in his face! He’s really brazen!”

“Cleve has the grounds to say such arrogant things! He’s backed by the Sawyers, and Cleve and his underlings all have extraordinary combat skills. You can tell from their strong muscles! But what exactly does this young man have? He has nothing, and yet he has the audacity to be so arrogant in front of Cleve. I bet he has no idea what he has to face!”

“Too bad! I was just thinking that if he pleaded with Cleve and begged for mercy, Cleve just might let him off. But nothing good will come out of offending Cleve!”

In the eyes of the people familiar with the hierarchy of notable families in Orange County, Cleve was not to be trifled with.

No one thought that Lucas, who spoke arrogantly in front of Cleve, would still be able to walk out of this place in one piece.

The manager laughed out loud and said with a menacing expression, “Kid, you must be tired of living. How dare you speak to Cleve like that? You’re dead meat!”

Just now, Cleve just casually glanced at him without showing any intention to rescue him. So the manager had thought that Cleve had given up on him.

Yet Lucas completely disregarded Cleve. In that case, Cleve would definitely teach him a lesson that he would never forget!

At the mention of the tragic state that Lucas would soon face, the manager was suddenly full of hope and expectations!

Sitting at the side, Gisele smirked smugly, feeling triumphant that her plan had succeeded.

She knew that Cleve had gotten used to being arrogant and proud all the time. Moreover, he was extremely lecherous, so she was certain that he would definitely get his hands on the beautiful, vixen-like Grace. Furthermore, Lucas was standing up for Grace, so he would surely go against Cleve. This way, Cleve would teach Lucas a lesson for her.

But now, it seemed that things were going better than she planned because Lucas, who didn’t know any better, actually had the audacity to mock Cleve in his face. This was simply a death wish! Hmph, let’s see how Lucas Gray dies later!
