Life After Prison

Chapter 22
Little did anyone expect that the owner of the hotel would show up there with the hotel’s security guards.
Everyone there moves aside so he could pass through.
Severin looked over and saw none other than the middle-aged man who played chess with Henry earlier that morning. He
wondered what the man was doing there.
“Oh, hello, Mister Monroe. What brings you here?” Trevor said with a smile.
Denzel Monroe, the owner of the Richemont Hotel, glanced at Severin and said, “I was told that somebody was causing trouble
in my hotel, so I decided to bring someone over to have a look at the situation. Could you explain what’s going on, Mister
Trevor?”
“This kid came here just to stir trouble! He even hurt my son!” Trevor pointed at Severin and said angrily. “I don’t need your hotel
security guards to take any action, though. Our bodyguards have already arrived, so just let me people take care of him!”
Trevor paused, and said again, “Of course, I don’t blame you for letting someone like him into your hotel. After all, it’s a really big
place, so it’s normal that one or two people are able to slip in!”
However, what he didn’t expect was that Denzel smiled, “Excuse me, but this man right here is a friend of mine. I hope you’ll
show me a bit of courtesy and just forget about what happened today.”
“Are you siding with that kid?” The smile on Trevor’s face gradually disappeared, only to be replaced with confusion.
The Monroes were much more influential than the Loughs. Though they still did not compare to the Shanahans, they were only
slightly below the latter. For the time being at least, they were the family with the highest chance of elevating their status to that
of a third-tier upper-class family.
Severin, who was already raring to make the first move, frowned instantly. It was odd that a man whom he only met once was
siding with him. Within seconds, however, he understood that the man probably wanted to make himself look good in front of
Henry. The Longhorns were only one of three first-tier upper-class families in the entirety of Brookbourn.
Both Severin and Henry had just formed a decent friendship with each other after Severin saved Henry’s life. Furthermore, Henry
would probably be arriving very soon, and when he found out that Denzel had helped Severin, Denzel would more or less have

made an even better impression on Henry.
Denzel smiled faintly and said, “He’s my friend, so I’m afraid I can’t pass him over to you. How about I give you half-off on all
your expenses at the hotel today in exchange for your cooperation in dropping this matter?”
Trevor’s lips twitched violently a couple of times and he glared at Denzel while saying, “I held the wedding banquet at your hotel
out of respect for you, Denzel. It’s bad enough that your men can’t maintain order here, and now you’re speaking up for this kid?
Are you sure you want to make an enemy out of me?”
Denzel smiled wryly and said, “I’ve made myself clear enough. I will spare no effort to make sure
that he is safe! He must be allowed to leave this hotel in one piece! My security guards aren’t pushovers, you know. If worse
comes to worse, I can always call my bodyguards to come here!”
“Don’t push your luck, Denzel. We’ll soon know whether or you you’ll be able to protect this kid!” Trevor was about to explode
with anger. He was a regular patron of the Monroes’ business, so he was appalled when Denzel helped a poor loser like Severin
instead of a regular customer.
In the end, Trevor took out his phone and walked to the corner to make a call. When he came back, he had a smile on his face. “I
wonder if you’ll still be able to protect the boy once Blade arrives, Denzel.”
