Hollywood Zenith

None of the people anticipated a good ending for the kid except for Daniel.

Those who didn't know about him could only guess his identity. Looking at the people he came with, none of them considered him clean.

With a dozen armed personnel and his wealthy appearance, how can a young man like him not be someone connected to the mafia?

And that was the problem; such wealthy young masters all had explosive tempers, even more when it came to their appearance; ruining his attire was akin to hurt such a person's pride. Juan's mother was worried about such a scenario.

" I a-am s-sorry," Juan said with a frightened tone. He didn't expect it to happen now; he regretted his decision to approach him. He was even speaking his mother tongue without even realizing it.

Samuel reached out his hand as everyone held their breath, Juan's mother was about to rush when she saw it, but nothing they thought had happened.

He patted Juan's head to calm him down.

"It's fine. It looked like my suit needed the pudding more than I did. I am sorry about it. I will buy you a new one, alright?" He ruffled his hair. Juan looked up at him with his teary eyes.

" Steve, buy him the whole pack."

" As you wish, sir!"

" But blessing-"

" Huh? Didn't you feel it? It's the thought that counts. I am sure it will grow right back!" Samuel said with a smile.

" Un!" Juan smiled innocently and returned to his mother's arms.

" Are you sure? It looks expensive; I can talk with the boss-" Daniel wanted to compensate, but Samuel interrupted him.

" Don't worry about it. I got hundreds of these gathering dust beside me. I can just wash it off."

Under the silent watch of the crowd, Samuel and Daniel made their way inside the house. No one said a word until they vanished from their sight.

" Omg, did you see him smile? How dashing was that!"

" Can a person be that kind? I sure thought he would at least be angry at the kid."

" Me too! It must be sticky and wet, but he didn't even flinch. I know some people who would beat the shit out of people for just bumping into them."

" Of course, he would be like that! We are all here; he didn't have the guts to do anything on our turf."

" Cheche, I sympathize with you ladies, getting deceived so easily. No wonder you can't find anyone with your faulty eyes."

" Pff! Don't make me laugh! Who would want some thug? I rather stay single until I find someone like him!"

" Keke, keep dreaming! Who would be interested in some dumb girl like you?"

" What did you say?"

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ " You heard me!"

The mood got heated, it was usual, but for this rowdy crowd, a fight might break out. Isabella stepped up and calmed everyone down. With her encouragement, the public left to do their chores while leaving the members outside.

" I am also heading inside. I never thought such an interesting person would visit our neighborhood." She said to the ladies.

" Ok, but don't forget to tell us about it afterward. I want all the details!"

""Us too.""

" Sure." She left after promising.

"I am inquisitive about what kind of man caught my picky sister's eyes." She thought while walking inside.

" Samuel Rothschild. It's a pleasure to make acquaintance." Samuel didn't know the customs of meeting, so he went with an old fashion handshake as he extended his hand.

On the other side was a middle-aged man wearing casual clothes, which looked pretty uncomfortable. He had a thick mustache and little beard with both hands littered with tattoos, just like Daniel, Mateo, and so many people here.

He was a little shorter, but his back was straight, and he had a sense of oppression because of his sharp eyes.

The room was also filled with strong-looking individuals who were sizing up Samuel and his group. He had instructed most of his team to stay outside, so he was currently looking like a trapped mouse in the lion's den.

" Good, Daniel was right about you. I am Enrique Reyes; nice to meet you too." After a short staring contest, the man reached for Samuel's hand and greeted him warmly.

" I hope he had good things to say about me."

" Well, he did tell me that you openly challenged us and went far as to say you would kick their ass. I thought he was exaggerating, but seeing you so calm in front of us says a lot about you." Enrique's remark sparked a fire somewhere else. The members began looking at Samuel with hostile eyes.

Who dares to threaten their brothers? It was a matter of their pride.

" I didn't come here to pick a fight. It was a simple misunderstanding; I already discussed it with Mr. Daniel."

" Yeah, I know. I didn't want to pick a bone with you. I am also sorry for my subordinates; they are a little sensitive bunch."

" I understand. It's not my first time dealing with something like this. You would be surprised to know how much action I get daily."

" I don't doubt it. After all, people need the power to reach where they are. Sit down; I hope you like Mexican cuisine."

" Yeah, I have been craving some authentic cuisines."

Samuel and Enrique sat face to face, with Daniel and Mateo standing at the back of Enrique while Steve and chin stood behind Samuel. It was about time to go into why they gathered today.

" We didn't have anything fancy, but I know that English like to drink tea. The best we can find is the ready-made version of it. Do have some Duritos with them; unlike the famous Doritos, Duritos aren't tortilla chips covered in a cheesy powder." Enrique, for some reason, was walking Samuel through everything.

" I know they're wheel-shaped snacks made of fried wheat. These golden yellow wheat snacks are a delightful treat and are great for parties and family get-togethers. I heard they are best enjoyed with spices like tajin.

You don't have to go out of your way. I know quite a lot about Mexican cuisine." Until now, they were talking in English, but Samuel switched to Spanish to let him know he didn't have to babysit him.

" Oho, I am very surprised. It looked like I was worried over nothing. You really are interesting kid. "

" That's what I am trying to tell you. Now, shall we get to why you called me here today?" Samuel directly asked much to Enrique's surprise.
