After this competition, Robert had gained a firm foothold in the circle.
People of different classes were engaged in different recreational activities.
The junior scions indulged in automobile recreation.
The middle- class scions flaunted their luxurious watches, the value of which surpassed that of cars.
The senior scions enjoyed something like horse racing, in which a high- quality horse could command hundreds of thousands of dollars in value.
However, these super scions favored things of style that were beyond the reach of the average person. Just like bodyguards and target shooting, these were a token of their identity and class.
But in today's competition of class, they all lost to Robert.
A young man who appeared to be around nineteen or twenty came close to Robert and whispered, " Robert, your bodyguard must have been on the battlefield, hasn't he?" Then the young man glanced at General Marcus secretly before hastily averting his gaze.
Douglas introduced the young man to Robert," His name is Laurence Harris, and his family runs the gold industry. The authoritative institutions that are responsible for appraising gold in Clusian are their properties.” Robert suddenly realized that Laurence was the reason why Douglas invited him to join the gathering today.
Robert looked at Laurence and asked, " What's your opinion?” " Yes, he has." Laurence nodded vigorously and furthered,"I noticed his fierce eyes just now. Robert, do you still know such a skilled fighter? Mind introducing me?” " Forget about it!" Douglas glared at Laurence and added, " Stick to your hobbies, Laurence. You can't get in touch with someone like him. My buddy went to South Africino for gold mining two days ago and almost got a headshot, as he didn't bring any bodyguards with him." With his eyes widened Laurence replied, " Damn it, Robert! You' re awesome! Tell me what happened at that time!” " There's nothing worth mentioning." Robert waved his hand and cast a glare at Douglas.
It was just Robert's casual talk about the danger of his journey in South Africino, but Douglas made up such an adventure story directly, which was likely to arouse people's imagination.
Laurence looked at Robert's composed face and secretly swallowed his saliva.
He thought, " This man is really a tough guy. He even runs to South Africino for gold mining.
Laurence's family ran a business in gold and had many dealings with foreign miners. Having frequently heard about the danger of such dealings from his kin, Laurence was filled with trepidation. Despite being accompanied by dozens of guards on their journey, the safety of his adult relatives remained uncertain.
Laurence had never imagined that Robert, who was only a few years older than him, dared to go South Africino for gold mining and almost get his head blown.
No wonder Robert didn't take Noah seriously!
Noah was being arrogant because of his affluent background but paled in comparison to Robert who was the real tough one!
Laurence looked at Robert, with eyes sparkled. He was in deep belief that Robert was a tough figure with few words. So Laurence decided not to pursue the answer since Robert didn't want to talk about it!
Laurence nodded obediently and then added so as to leave a good impression on Robert, " Robert, don't worry. I understand it and won't tell anyone." A sense of weirdness jumped on Robert when he heard that.
After that, all of them gathered and chatted for a while, except for Judith, who left in advance after witnessing Noah's failure and recognizing her little chance to revenge on Robert.
After the gathering, Douglas and Robert scheduled dinner appointments and proceeded with their respective business matters.
When Laurence left the targeting range, he couldn't wait to send a message in a group chat," Guys, I met a tough man today! He's awesome! He's just a few years older than me but has gone to South Africino for mining and almost got his head blown but made it back alive. Where are you? I have to tell you about this!” Send Gift Comment
