Chapter 665 Logan Rees
The atmosphere in the hall soured due to the matter just now.
The mood here was subdued.
However, John’s words lightened things up.
He said with a cynical laugh, making it hard to imagine he was Cold-Faced Fiend just now.
Listening to John’s joke, Karima flushed and answered, “Mr. Lopez, don’t make fun of me.”
She knew that John was teasing her.
When they first met, Karima told him that she was a good judge of character, but in the end, she made mistakes on it time after time.
Actually, it was not Karima’s inability.
She used to be a shrewd judge of character, but John was greatly different from ordinary people. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
John smiled and said, “You haven’t answered my question yet. Who is more attractive, me or Oracle King?”
“Mr. Lopez, I may go out on a limb, but your question was not precise enough that I can’t give you an answer since you’re Oracle King yourself.”
Having little romance before, Karima failed to seize this opportunity to make romantic overtures with him.
It struck John that a smooth talker he deemed himself, he couldn’t beat a girl from Australia in an argument,
Karima didn’t humor him at all.
Noticing John’s embarrassed expression, Alice flashed a charming smile on her delicate face, stepped forward, took John’s arm, and said, “Of course, John is more attractive.”
“Yes, that’s right. I agree with you,” Aydin echoed with a smile.
When Alice said that before, Aydin didn’t dare to talk at all. Fear of speaking something improper, he didn’t allow Darrius to talk on this topic.
But now that he knew that John was Oracle King, he dared to make conversation with them.
The reason why he plucked up the courage to talk was that the topic was brought up by Oracle King to whom he said this to show his respect.
He should on no condition render Oracle King embarrassed.
Those members of the Mount River Gang chilled down and chimed in with Alice, “Yeah, Mr. Lopez is as charming as Oracle King… Oh, actually, he shares the charm with that of King of Horizon.”.
“That’s right, the same. I happen to recall the latest idiom I’ve learned from the US to describe this. It’s being evenly matched.”
“Now you’re talking. That’s it. Being evenly matched!”
John’s gaze swept across these people slowly, and said with a smile, “I just realized that getting along with you teddy boys is cheerful.”
The public heard his words and was confused about the meaning of the teddy boys.
They hadn’t learnt this word yet.
Even the simultaneous translator worn by John didn’t seem to include this word.
But it didn’t matter.
No consequence at all.
In their book, Oracle King heaped praise on them just now.
What an honor of honors!
There was only Karima who was puzzled about the cause of their excitement.
Not long after the tension eased, one of Aydin’s men suddenly ran in and said, “President Suma, Logan is here.”
“Logan? What is he doing here?”
Aydin frowned slightly and seemed a little displeased to hear the name, but soon he figured out the reason by himself.
He speculated that Logan should have come for John.
“President Suma, do you want to let him in?”
“Well, I couldn’t ask him to leave since he reached our gate to pay a visit. Let him come in!”
“Yes, sir!”
Soon, a man with greasy hair came in. He laughed out loud and said in a way that he seemed to get acquainted with Aydin, “President Suma, today is Miss Suma’s birthday, but you didn’t invite me. Did
we kind of drift apart or something?”
“Oh, man, please. We didn’t bother to invite you to a small birthday party since we all knew you were
occupied,” Aydin replied in a polite manner with his tongue in his cheek.
Logan was the president of the Powell Association.
Of course, he didn’t come alone. He was bold enough to walk in with gifts by himself and left all his men outside.
He came in the name of celebrating Karima’s birthday, but in fact, he came for John.
Two respective presidents of their associations exchanged greetings with each other and plastered smiles on their faces, making people think they were friends and went way back.
“President Suma, I remember that you have a gold fighter named Darrius. Where is he today? (‘m quite
curious that he doesn’t attend such a grand occasion.”
Logan suddenly asked after they exchanged hypocritical expressions of politeness.
It pained Aydin to hear the name of Darrius since he lost him.
Darrius was his right-hand man. He intended to let Darrius show his strength when it came to the fight over the territory against the Powell Association. But Darrius was kicked to death by John.
Aydin was sad at heart because of the loss.
But he didn’t dare to blame John on it.
Hearing Logan’s question, no signs of any strange expression on Aydin’s face, and he said with a smile, “Darrius had something to do and left first.”
Aydin told the truth since Darrius did leave first and was dragged away by someone.
Logan wasn’t suspicious. This time, he came and showed care for John rather than Darrius.
Mentioning Darrius was for his following words.
Sure enough, at the next moment, Logan said, “I heard that you paid a lot for this underground boxing match, and actually invited a martial artist from the US. Is it true?”
Aydin cursed inwardly, “you should know whether it was true or not better than me.
“You have your men to kidnap my daughter and intended to threaten me with her. But you didn’t expect your men to be kicked away by someone. You should know whether that person is a martial artist or not.”
Aydin snorted coldly in his heart. Instead of answering Logan’s question, he suddenly rolled his eyes and remarked, “President Rees, I’m just going to let you meet him.”
With a smile all over his face, he led Logan to John with enthusiasm and said, “This is Mr. Lopez, a martial artist from the US, and he is unparalleled in the world.”
Aydin called John Mr. Lopez without pointing out John was Oracle King.
There was nothing wrong with that.
It was John who asked him to call him like that.
But Aydin’s scheming could be seen from it.
