Chapter 1195: Trouble in Jefferson Village
Chris Shelby impatiently exclaimed, "What is it? Money!"
"Yes, yes!"
The bank staff did not dare to delay, immediately getting money for Chris Shelby.
In the eyes of the bank staff, Chris Shelby had just killed two masked robbers in one go. Such a person was definitely not ordinary. How could they dare to be negligent?
After getting the money, Chris Shelby didn't stay a moment longer, directly turning and leaving.
Until Chris Shelby left, everyone was still in a daze.
Who exactly was this person? So powerful?
"King of East Coast! He's the King of East Coast!"
Suddenly, someone recognized Chris Shelby and couldn't help but exclaim.
"What? He's actually the King of East Coast!"
"So he's the King of East Coast, no wonder he's so powerful!"
"These two masked robbers really ran into bad luck encountering the King of East Coast!"
After finding out Chris Shelby's identity, everyone suddenly understood.
The deeds of the King of East Coast were endless and legendary.
In the eyes of all East Coast residents, Chris Shelby was their guardian angel.
As long as Chris Shelby was around, the entire East Coast was safe and secure!
After work, Chris Shelby drove to pick up Esther and Juliette.
Once they were in the car, Chris Shelby said to them, "Today, I went to the bank to get some money. I invite you both to dinner."
Excitedly, Juliette asked, "Great! Chris, what fancy meal are you treating us to?"
Chris Shelby was speechless. Juliette was clearly a foodie!
Since she came to the East Coast, Chris Shelby noticed that all Juliette did was eat.
Chris Shelby shook his head and said, "Today, we're not having a fancy meal. I'll treat you to street food to experience the life of common folks."
"Sounds good! I've never tried street food before. I'll definitely enjoy it this time."
Esther laughed and said, "Honestly, it's been a while since I had street food. I miss the taste."
In the past, when Esther's family wasn't well-off, they used to eat street food.
But after they became affluent, coupled with Esther's busy work schedule, they barely had time for street food.
Without further ado, Chris Shelby drove them to a popular spicy hot pot restaurant.
Chris Shelby ordered a table full of spicy hot pot for Esther and Juliette to feast on.
"So delicious! It's absolutely amazing!"
Juliette exclaimed as she ate from the street food.
Seeing this, Chris Shelby couldn't help but shake his head.
Being part of the royal family was indeed a form of happiness, but also a sadness.
Juliette hadn't experienced many simple joys that common people enjoyed.
"You, boy, trying to dine and dash? Have you even asked where this is?"
"This is the East Coast! If you don't pay, do you believe I'll call the East Coast Security Company?"
Since James Mester took charge of establishing the East Coast Security Company, the security of the entire East Coast was under their responsibility. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Under the East Coast Security Company, the security of the entire East Coast was very good.
Dine and dash?
Upon hearing this, Chris Shelby was astonished.
There was someone eating without paying in his territory? Freeloading?
With this in mind, Chris Shelby turned to look.
In the next table, the shop owner looked furious, facing a burly man.
But what surprised Chris Shelby was that this burly man was almost two meters tall, and his whole body was muscular, looking like a bull.
The burly man's face turned red, saying, "Boss, it's not that I don't want to pay. I just came from the village, and my wallet got stolen on the way. So I don't have money to give you."
The shop owner coldly huffed, "I don't care if your wallet got stolen. Pay up quickly, or I'll call someone over!"
"Boss, please spare me!"
Upon hearing this, the burly man seemed on the verge of tears.
Seeing this, Esther said to Chris Shelby, "Chris Shelby, why don't you go help him?"
Esther was a kind-hearted person, and seeing the burly man in distress, she couldn't bear it.
Chris Shelby nodded and stood up to walk over.
"Boss, how much did he eat? I'll pay for it!"
At Chris Shelby's offer, the shop owner couldn't help but look at him curiously.
The shop owner didn't expect someone to voluntarily pay for someone else's meal. He couldn't believe it and asked, "You're paying?"
Chris Shelby nodded, "Yes, I am."
The shop owner didn't hesitate and said, "It's a total of one thousand dollars!"
Huh?
Upon hearing this, Chris Shelby was stunned.
"What did he eat to cost a thousand dollars?"
Normally, a meal of spicy hot pot would cost a couple of hundred dollars.
This burly man had eaten enough to amount to a thousand dollars, which Chris Shelby found unbelievable.
The shop owner sneered, "Don't think I'm scamming you. Take a look at what he ate first!"
Chris Shelby lowered his head and was dumbfounded.
In front of the burly man was a pile of spicy hot pot.
Chris Shelby couldn't help but say, "Bro, you really can eat! Were you a starving ghost in your past life?"
The burly man sheepishly replied, "I can't help it. I've always been a big eater."
Chris Shelby didn't say anything and promptly paid the bill.
Once the shop owner received the money, he didn't bother the burly man further.
The burly man looked at Chris Shelby with gratitude and said, "Bro, thank you! Don't worry, once I find Jefferson family, I'll pay you back!"
"Jefferson family?"
Upon hearing this, Chris Shelby's interest was piqued, and he asked, "What do you need Jefferson family for?"
Sighing, the burly man named Harold Jefferson said, "Bro, let me be honest with you. I come from Jefferson Village, and my name is Harold Jefferson! We're facing difficulties in Jefferson Village, and the village head sent me to East Coast to seek help from Jefferson family."
"What? Jefferson Village is in trouble!"
Surprised, Chris Shelby exclaimed, "I'm Chris Shelby, son-in-law of Jefferson family! What kind of trouble has Jefferson Village encountered?"
"What? You're Chris Shelby!"
This time, it was Harold Jefferson's turn to be astonished.
Thud!
Without saying another word, Harold Jefferson knelt before Chris Shelby, tears streaming down his face.
"Mr. Shelby, I finally found you! I finally found you!"
Chris Shelby helped Harold Jefferson up and said, "Harold, get up first. Tell me everything."
"It's a long story. I used to work outside, and then my parents called me to come back..."
Through Harold Jefferson's account, Chris Shelby learned the full story.
Harold Jefferson was from Jefferson Village but had been working outside.
So when Chris Shelby had visited Jefferson Village twice, Harold Jefferson hadn't met him in person but had heard of his deeds.
Suddenly, one day, Harold Jefferson's parents called him to say that something had happened at home and asked him to come back.
When Harold Jefferson returned, he realized...
