Shadow Empire

Chapter 654: Arthur Disappears

Arthur has been feeling very depressed these days.

He broke up with Corinda peacefully. Although James and his father had warned him not to mess with that girl, young people are always looking for new and novel things.

He has had many girlfriends.

For example, his female classmates.

Sometimes he couldn't even tell who was enjoying the relationship during the period of continuation. He always felt that those female classmates were "playing" with him instead of him being the one who dominated the relationship.

So enthusiastic!

He may find it interesting at first, but soon he will become bored with the hypocrisy hidden behind the enthusiasm and the desire for his family to rise in social status.

Later, he became interested in the maid in the house. Unfortunately, there was no such thing as the unyielding spirit, resistance and commitment he had imagined. Everything was just ordinary.

Sometimes he felt that the maid was just doing her job instead of having an emotional connection with him.

Every time they did it, he felt that the maids were very perfunctory, and even their voices had a hint of "When are you ready?" He couldn't stand it, so his relationship with the maids ended quickly.

When he went to college, he met a lot of female classmates. Some of them were not so sensitive to his identity and ignored him.

Not everyone can figure out one thing - going to college does not mean that you have successfully entered the stage of success, nor does it mean that you have obtained a ticket to the upper class.

Going to college, going to a good college, only allows you to see the gate hidden in the sea of ​​clouds and a staircase that may lead you to its destination.

However, many people do not think so. Many young people have not been beaten by society, so they think they are the protagonists and they will stand on the top of the mountain through their own efforts.

Those girls were indifferent to Arthur and found him annoying, which made Arthur a bootlicker for three or four months before he got tired of it.

For a meat eater like him, it was unacceptable that he could not eat meat all the time.

Later he met many people, university teachers, social elites, secretaries, managers, married women, many, anyone.

But he had never been with a "female gangster" before, so even though Mayor Williams and James told him that even if he wanted to experience that kind of style, it would be better to find a woman from a small gang instead of finding one around Lance.

Young people always have their own ideas. Changing someone else may not be able to arouse his interest, and he does not think there will be any sequelae or trouble.

After all, at this moment, they are in love.

But when the time came to break up, he was still a little uneasy.

If Corinda said something to Lance and Lance really wanted to break his legs, his father would probably just acquiesce.

After a long period of hesitation, it was Kolinda who proposed to break up first, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

After learning about this, he was grounded by Mayor Williams and locked up in the manor.

At least wait until the subsequent changes that may be brought about by this incident have disappeared before letting him out.

By the way, it will also make him behave himself for a while.

Mayor Williams took the initiative to talk to Lance about this matter some time ago, but Lance didn't care that much.

It is hard to say what the feelings of young people are. When he told Corinda that this was bound to be a relationship that would end in vain, but she insisted on going on, Lance knew the result, so he was not surprised at all, and he also had no intention of beating Arthur to vent his anger.

I fucking told you that you would fall down, but you insisted on falling down. What else can I do?

Mayor Williams waited for a few days and found that Lance really didn't care about this matter, so he relaxed his management of Arthur a little.

This is especially true during this period. Whether it is Mayor Williams or James, they almost always go to the office early in the morning and come back very late.

Sometimes they didn't even come back at night and lived directly in the office.

The atmosphere in the Williams family's manor was also somewhat solemn. They all knew that this was a critical moment, so everyone was doing their own thing, trying not to affect Mayor Williams and James as much as possible.

After Arthur had sneaked away twice, he was now much braver.

After staying at home for more than a week this time, he felt like he was covered with fleas and he could hardly bear it anymore!

At this moment, the phone in his house rang suddenly. He almost rushed over to answer the phone, "It's me, Arthur!"

"Hey, Arthur, wanna hang out tonight?"

"There's a new club here with some new girls..."

The voice in the receiver belonged to his lackey, who had been following him since high school. Over the years, their relationship had become very close.

He was already restless to begin with, and now after hearing someone say this, how could he stay here any longer?

"Fuck, brother, Fuck!"

"Tell me the address, now, immediately!"

"Go get a seat and tell them to give me the best girl and the best wine. I'm going to kill some tonight!"

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, went back to the room, changed his clothes, packed his wallet full of money and cash checks, and then quickly left the villa.

The housekeeper discovered that he had secretly run away and called Mayor Williams to communicate. The latter had a lot of things to do and had no energy to manage this little thing, but he was not nervous at the same time.

Everyone knew that he favored his youngest son, and it would be easy for him to hurt Arthur, but they could not afford the consequences of hurting Arthur.

So he thought Arthur was safe, and most likely he was with his lackeys.

"Let the bodyguards follow him and don't let him do anything wrong."

After saying this, Mayor Williams hung up the phone. Rather than others hurting Arthur, he was more worried that Arthur would act recklessly and affect his subsequent game with the Bay Area.

The butler asked several bodyguards to follow, and then he didn't pay any more attention to the matter. After all... people always subconsciously ignore some low-probability events.

Arthur drove quickly to the club where they had agreed to meet. It was time for some fun in the evening.

As the "big young master" of Jingang City, he can break into almost all places in this city just by relying on his face!
Including this club!

The security guard at the door didn't mind him going directly through the VIP channel and took the initiative to help him open the door.

As soon as he entered the club under the guidance of the staff, someone shouted his name and waved his arms at him.

"Fake!"

He cursed with a smile, then ran over, bumped fists with his friends and lackeys, and then sat in the middle seat.

"Don't scream my name so fucking loud. If the old guy finds out that he broke my legs, I'll break yours!"

He paused, then picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp!

The moment the cold alcohol entered his throat, he seemed to feel comfortable all over!

No wonder the federals are so keen on placebo research. Perhaps this is directly related to the federals' physiological reactions.

The alcohol had not yet been absorbed, let alone entered the blood circulation system, but he felt comfortable. It can only be said that the placebo effect was too strong.

It was so strong that his body had begun to subconsciously function as if it were anesthetized by alcohol!

Various hormones made him feel relaxed and happy. He hugged the girl beside him and laughed.

Someone lit a cigarette for him, and he hugged the girl, drinking and smoking. He seemed to be standing on clouds under the flattery of his friends!
This is the life of modern people!
Since he can’t go anywhere at home, it’s better to let him live in a cave. Even primitive people are not that bored!
Life is like this, it is most beautiful only when it is squandered!
One of Arthur's bodyguards watched him from a distance, while the others stayed in the car outside.

The environment inside was noisy and dim, and they didn't like things that would affect their judgment, so leaving one person behind was enough.

They were also chatting, talking about some recent events and things that happened to them.

After an unknown amount of time, Arthur staggered to his feet. Under the combined effects of alcohol and nicotine, he felt a little dizzy!

He needs to go to the bathroom.

One of his lackeys stood up and offered to help him, but he refused, "Get the hell away, stay away from me. Although you want my dick, I'm sorry, it's only for women!"

"Get out of my sight!"

His somewhat stiff gaze stopped at the girl beside him, "Come here!"

The girl had no complaints. She had put her integrity aside to do this job, just to make a living.

She smiled and supported Arthur as they walked towards the bathroom, and Arthur's bodyguards followed slowly behind.

He had protected Arthur many times and knew that going to the bathroom might take more than ten minutes. Alcohol and nicotine would dull his senses, so going to the bathroom would take a little longer than normal.

Sometimes these bodyguards envy Arthur's life. This bastard has such a fucking good life!

They could only be dogs for the powerful no matter how hard they tried, but Arthur was born with a silver spoon in his mouth!

Arthur entered the bathroom with the help of the girl. Arthur needed to solve the problem of urination first. He squinted his eyes and stood in front of the toilet with his belly sticking out. "Help me... hold it."

"Damn, I drank too fast tonight, and these bitches are so enthusiastic!"

He felt his little brother being taken out of the bird's nest, and almost subconsciously his body's physiological system began to work, and crackling sounds were heard in the toilet.

At the same time, in the lobby of the club, several young men stood up after seeing Arthur enter the bathroom.

Several people approached the restroom, which was in the corner of the entire hall. After all, it was not a good place. It would not be set in the most conspicuous place to tell people to come here to shit or do other things.

This also means that if you don't look closely at the bathroom, it is difficult to tell what is happening here.

Seeing that several people were about to go in, the bodyguard walked to the door of the restroom and raised his hand, "Sorry, gentlemen, they are undergoing maintenance inside."

He used some slightly ambiguous and teasing tone to modify the word "maintenance". If they were normal, they would understand what this "maintenance" meant.

The man standing in front of him suddenly pointed at his feet and asked, "Is that what you dropped?"

The bodyguard looked down at the darker ground with some confusion, but suddenly an arm grabbed his neck, tightly strangling his neck in a "guillotine" posture!

Just as he was about to fight back, his hands were held down tightly. If there was a beam of light that could illuminate his face, people would see that his face was flushed red, even a little purple.

After thirty or forty seconds, his tense and struggling body suddenly relaxed.

Several people released him and made him sit against the wall. He looked like some drunk bastard who passed out there. Then they left one person to guard the bathroom door while the others went into the bathroom.

At this moment, Arthur squinted his eyes and tilted his head back. He sat on the toilet, his eyeballs constantly trembling, which meant that he was about to reach his climax!

My thoughts became confused at this moment, as if I were in the universe...

At this moment, the door of the toilet cubicle was suddenly opened, and several people with cold faces stood outside the door.

The girl stopped hesitating, turned around and looked at these people with a curious expression, and was greeted with a hard kick.

He kicked her directly in the face, and her head hit the wall of the toilet cubicle heavily. With a thud, she fainted.

Suddenly, a shivering Arthur woke up. He looked at the people outside the toilet and his voice became shrill!
"Fuck, who are you?"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Fuck, who's out there? I need help!"

But what greeted him was two people grabbing his shoulders and hair, pulling him out, and then beating him up severely.

David knew how to deal with rich people, and the Saint Bell Party had also dealt with some rich guys who loved to pick cotton.

It is far more effective to make them shut up after feeling fear than to shut them up with words.

Seven or eight minutes later, Arthur came out of the bathroom, sandwiched between several people.

They left directly in the direction of the back door without alerting anyone.

At this moment, at the table with his lackeys, there was a guy who seemed to be in a bad mood. He kept pouring wine for himself. Normally, he didn't drink so crazily.

His friend couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried about something?"

He shuddered, "No, no."

"Not as much as you?"

The confusion in his tone was overwhelming. The most important thing for these lackeys was to make Arthur happy.

As long as Arthur is happy, their lives will be very good.

Even though Arthur didn't seem to have the right to inherit the family politics, he actually controlled most of the family's business activities - the owner was his mother, but he played the role of manager, although he didn't really go to work very often.

But even so, the little bit that slipped out from between his fingers was enough to allow these lackeys to live a life of luxury.

Their purpose is to make Arthur happy.

For example, letting Arthur drink too much is also a kind of happiness that Arthur pursues, but it is not theirs.

After all, they can take care of Arthur if he is drunk, but if they are drunk, do they have to let Arthur take care of them?

The person being questioned smiled stiffly, shook his head, and made up an excuse to get away with it.

After a while, some people gradually noticed something was wrong. "Why is he so fierce this time?"

It looks like a question, but the question is not whether Arthur is really strong, but that he has been gone for a long time.

"Don't get drunk in there."

The oldest of the group stood up and said, "I'll go check it out."

"I'll go as well."

Several people came to the bathroom together, and when they saw the bodyguard slumped on the ground at the door, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

They rushed into the restroom and saw the girl fainted in the cubicle. They felt as if the sky had fallen!

Ten minutes later, Lance received a call from Mayor Williams, who hoped he could come over as soon as possible because something had happened to Arthur.

Lance's first reaction when he heard this was to frown. He agreed and picked up the phone to ask where Corinda was.

Kolinda had been hanging out with these people and had participated in more than one gunfight. If you were fooled by her feminine appearance, you would definitely ignore how dangerous she was.

He was not sure whether Kolinda would be so upset about the breakup that she would seek revenge on Arthur. If she really did that, it would be very troublesome.

After all, it is not easy to convince Mayor Williams to give up pursuing responsibility.

But not only did Kolinda not leave, she was now chatting with everyone. Now was the time for after-dinner chat.

"Put her on the phone."

Ten seconds later, Kolinda's voice came from the receiver, "What's the matter?"

"Arthur has been kidnapped, and I'm worried that it was you who did it."

"He was kidnapped?"

“This is the best news I have heard this year…”

She first laughed loudly and said this obviously angry remark, but then quickly asked, "Any news?"

Lance frowned, "No, I thought it was you who did it. If it was you, I would have to find a way to clean up your mess..."

"Fuck, could you please speak more politely?"

“I’m a girl!”

She complained a little, "It wasn't me, I swear."

"I see."

"Don't get involved in this. I'll take care of it."

After Lance hung up the phone, he got in the car and soon arrived at Williams Manor.

Mayor Williams was originally attending a social event in the evening and was discussing the development of the new district.

If the urban circle is to expand, it is definitely necessary to attract investment. As a result, such a thing happened at this time, and he could only very rudely abandon those guests and hurried back.

James also finished his social activities. Arthur's mother was also in the room. Her eyes were red and swollen because she had just cried.

"Lance..." Mayor Williams choked up a little, trying his best to hide his emotions. "I have never encountered such a thing. Maybe you can provide me with some help..."
