44: Chapter 44 Victor, the Troublemaker
Moriarty wanted to take Zhang Shan to Skaff's place for a banquet. However, Zhang Shan firmly refused this request, stating that he did not want to attend any more banquets.
Zhang Shan had a very deep impression of the last banquet!
"Brother Robinson, don't be afraid! This time, the situation from last time will absolutely not happen again. Rest assured, I give you my guarantee. I promise you, it will absolutely, absolutely not happen again."
"I'm not going, I'm not going."
Moriarty looked at Zhang Shan's refusal. Uncharacteristically, he insisted on taking him. In the end, Zhang Shan could not resist Moriarty and had to go with him.
"Go on, change into some more formal clothes," Moriarty said to Zhang Shan.
Zhang Shan and Gu Nan nodded in agreement and immediately began to prepare.
For many years, Zhili Country had been calm, but recently, many events, big and small, had occurred. Zhang Shan's arrival had made this country turbulent.
After gathering all the information, the Victor Family reported everything to Anfei.
Seeing that his wife had been ruined by others like this, Anfei was absolutely furious. He was determined to make them lose face at the banquet at Skaff's place today.
At this moment, Zhang Shan and the others were already in the car heading to the banquet at Skaff's.
Zhang Shan and Gu Nan were wearing crisp black suits, exuding a powerful aura.
"Who is this man? Why have I never seen him before? How could he make Moriarty open the door for him?"
"This person is so young, what is his background? Why would Moriarty open the door for him?"
The people attending the banquet were all discussing who this young man was. After all, Moriarty was considered a person of status here! Being able to have him open the door meant he must be someone of great importance.
"Come on, make way, make way."
Moriarty waved his hand at the people beside him, and the crowd immediately dispersed, gathering in small groups to whisper. They were discussing and whispering, guessing the mysterious origins of these two people.
Skaff's subordinate, Baishan, was at the door receiving the guests attending the banquet. Seeing Moriarty, he immediately became respectful.
"Mr. Moriarty. Welcome, our master is already inside waiting for you, please."
Baishan led the three of them to the banquet's private room. He smiled and said, "Our master said that today is just a simple meal, everyone doesn't need to be restrained."
Zhang Shan and the others nodded. They were all people who had been around the block in the underworld. They were not too particular about these things. Because sometimes they might not even be able to get a meal, so they didn't care about these things.
Although the private room was not big, the dishes served were exquisite and plentiful. The wine was also very good; that kind of wine was rarely seen on the market. It seemed to be Skaff's collection of many years.
Gu Nan was really starving. He hadn't eaten much all day today. So he didn't stand on ceremony with them. He sat down and started eating voraciously.
Skaff didn't ask why Moriarty brought two people along. He just chatted with them about this and that. Like whether they were having a good time here? Whether the scenery was nice or not? Moreover, Skaff was very good at talking. Even if they just focused on eating and didn't speak, the atmosphere didn't go cold.
Just at this moment, a subordinate ran over and whispered a few words in Skaff's ear.
Skaff was slightly surprised. Then he nodded. He said to Moriarty and the others, "Excuse me, Moriarty and the two little brothers. I have some things to deal with, I'll be back immediately."
"Alright, you go ahead and get busy," Moriarty said respectfully.
Skaff walked out of the private room with big strides, and after leaving, he quickly came to the hotel entrance.
At the hotel entrance, a middle-aged man in a formal suit was standing there.
"Mr. Victor Anfei, why are you here? You should have notified us so we could go pick you up."
"No need! I came uninvited, I hope Skaff will forgive me!"
"It is my honor that Mr. Victor Anfei could come." The two exchanged pleasantries outside the door. However, Skaff's attitude was not the same as how he treated Moriarty.
It was not that Victor Anfei's power was not great. It was just that in this circle, his methods were very annoying.
Victor Anfei glanced at Skaff and shook his hand casually.
"I came here because I want to ask you to do something for me."
"Mr. Anfei, just tell me what the matter is. If I can do it, I will absolutely not cut corners," Skaff chuckled.
Victor Anfei was very satisfied with his attitude. He nodded and said, "Skaff, you are a sensible person. If you do this for me, the benefits in the future will definitely not be lacking for you. It will definitely let your career reach a higher level."
"Hahaha, how could I be so embarrassed?" Skaff said with a smile.
"I came here because I want you to help me deal with a few people."
"Who?" Skaff frowned and asked.
"You've heard about it, right? Moriarty now has two new friends. He offended our Victor Family. He killed my son and also injured my wife." Victor Anfei said coldly, his tone icy.
Upon hearing this, Skaff couldn't help but gasp, and his expression changed instantly.
Although Moriarty could be ranked in Zhili Country, he was not to be feared. But recently, he had developed very fast, surpassing the Victor Family's ranking.
And all the credit for this came from his two new friends. Although he hadn't found out what the background of his two new friends was yet, what was certain was that these two people were definitely not to be trifled with.
He shook his head decisively.
"Mr. Victor Anfei. I cannot help you with this matter. If you want to seek death yourself, please don't drag me into it. I still want to live."
"What? It seems you have forgotten the power of our Victor Family here!" He raised his eyebrows fiercely, furious.
Skaff still shook his head: "I cannot comply. Sir, why don't you go find someone else? Just pretend I never heard about this matter."
"What? It seems, Skaff, that you have found a new backer?"
Skaff's expression was already very cold.
"I said it. Mr. Victor Anfei, since you want to seek death, then go ahead yourself! Do not involve me, I do not want to wade into this muddy water."
"Hmph, it seems not only have your wings hardened, but you have also become more arrogant. Xiao Liu, deal with him for me." Victor Anfei said coldly.
A man immediately stepped out from behind him. He was tall and imposing. His gaze swept over, immediately making people feel as if their skin was being cut by a knife.
Xiao Liu lunged forward in one stride. He struck a palm directly at Skaff's chest.
Skaff did not expect that Victor Anfei had become arrogant to such an extent.
