Chapter 179 A confrontation
"Ah?" Joey was shocked, "Why does he look so young?"
She was more surprised by his looks than his identity as a gang boss.
A girl was naturally attracted by such a stunningly young man.
She wondered how he could manage to look so young in his thirties.
"Perhaps..." Allen thought for a while and said seriously, "he got the Botox injection."
Joey was amused, "I'm serious. How could he have used Botox like a woman?"
Martin chimed in, "Of course, he could have. You know, a man likes a young face, too. Other than that, I really can't figure out how this guy could have remained the same in the past ten years."
Chance smiled, "You are the only ones who dare to talk about him like that. Anyone else would be dead on the streets tomorrow if they did so."
Shawn walked toward the VIP section under the protection of these bodyguards. He stopped at their table and looked at Allen with a faint smile on his face, "I'm surprised to see you here, Mayor Charles. I wonder if I have the pleasure of sitting at your table." He was being polite yet contemptuous and challenging.
It was obvious that he would assume Allen was intimidated by him if Allen said no.
One of them was a rising star in politics and the other was a very powerful figure in the city. They were destined to be rivals.
Allen looked up at Shawn unflinchingly and smiled, "I'm afraid not. We're not even friends. Besides, there is no room at our table." Allen wasn't intimidated by him at all.
Joey saw Shawn's raised eyebrows. He was apparently infuriated by Allen's flat refusal.
But he didn't lose his temper. His eyes were cold. It seems that he was weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he smiled and turned around to another table nearby. He ordered condescendingly, "All of you, get out of here!" The customers at the table were angry, but they clearly didn't have the nerve to stand up to him, though they were not of low social status themselves, because only important customers were allowed to sit in the VIP section of the Elsner Club.
They had no choice but to give up their seats.
Shawn took their seats without any hesitation.
He was sitting back on the comfortable sofa and put his long legs on the table. He turned around and gave Allen a challenging look.
Infuriated by his shamelessness, Martin clenched his fists and tried to stand up.
"Martin!" Allen stopped him and shook his head, "Don't make a scene. Why don't you sit down and enjoy the show?"
The three of them were obviously no match for Shawn with his bodyguards. There were bound to lose if they started the fight. Besides, he didn't want to hurt Joey as a potential victim of collateral damage. Just then, the show began.
The first performer wasn't Fiona. It was quite mediocre.
The real big shots were often scheduled to show up at the end.
However, after a while, the audience started to lose their patience as the show went on, because almost all of them were here for the ladyboy queen.
Martin was the most impatient one. He called the waiter and asked unhappily, "When is the ladyboy queen performing for us?"
"Sir, I'm sorry I don't know. The order of the show was arranged in the backstage."The waiter put on a professional smile and answered politely. Martin frowned, "Call your manager and I'll ask him."
The waiter's smile was gone, but he nodded politely, "All right. Just a moment, please."
But when the waiter turned around, he was ushered to Shawn's table by two tall bodyguards. 000
