The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

Chapter 185

Looking pale, the head of the bank was brought into the bank.

After that, 12 billion was transferred out of the bank right under his pained gaze.

Time passed quickly. In no time, the night was over.

The next morning, Heidi was sent to the kindergarten by Suzie and Moira. Then, both of them went to a shopping mall owned by the Lynch family to shop happily.

After sending Janelle to school, Jacob drove Franklin to the west of the city.

He drove over 30 kilometers, almost crossing the entire Paramount, before arriving at a vegetable wholesale market in the suburbs.

Finally, they found a parking spot. Looking at the wide array of vegetables, Jacob took in a deep breath of the muddied air and frowned. "Dad, is Mr. Ramirez really here?"

Richard Ramirez was born with a silver spoon, and he was always impeccably dressed with a slight fetish for cleanliness. Though later in his life, his family's wealth perished, and he had to work at Oriental Tower. Slowly, he worked his way up and became Franklin's handy assistant. Jacob could hardly imagine such a man being associated with a place like this.

Franklin looked around the messy and unkempt environment with a similar frown on his face as he said slowly, "I also found it hard to believe when I first knew about it. But Richard is here, without a doubt. Let's head inside and look for him."

While speaking, he walked to the entrance of the wholesale market that was not far from them.

Throngs of people were walking around inside, some of them negotiating prices, while others moved goods around. Each and every one of them seemed busy.

"Excuse me, how do I get to region E?" Franklin stopped a store owner that was walking outside before passing him a cigarette.

"Marlboro! That is a good quality cigarette that costs around 5 bucks!" The man's eyes lit up as he received the cigarette with a smile. "You're finding your way to region E, aye? Do you see that? Just walk straight, turn left, and then turn right. After passing two stalls, you'll reach region E."

"Thanks. I Hope your business prospers!" Franklin smiled and waved.

"Hopefully so!" The stall owner placed the cigarette behind his ear and left smiling.

Jacob looked at the surroundings. Apart from having many customers, the variety of vegetables was so wide that he couldn't even recognize some of them.

Jacob lookad at tha surroundings. Apart from having many customars, tha variaty of vagatablas was so wida that ha couldn't avan racogniza soma of tham.

After making a few turns and asking another person, they finally arrived at region E.

During the journey, Jacob even saw a huge rat running across the drains.

Following its trajectory, he looked to his left and coincidentally found the man they were looking for, his father's former assistant, who was now a vegetable stall owner.

"Dad, isn't that Mr. Ramirez?" he asked.

Franklin raised his head and looked in that direction before a wide smile took over his face. "Indeed!"

He crossed a drain and walked over. "Hey, Rich!"

Standing in front of the stall, Franklin felt wistful as he looked at his former assistant who used to dress impeccably even though he was already in his forties. Now, he had a stubble on his cheeks, and wrinkles around his eyes.

"It's only been a few years, yet you look like you've become much older!"

Touching his chin, Richard shook his head bitterly. "Chairman Lynch, time is merciless! People have aged. By the way…"
