Chapter 54 Elegant Noah Lee
"Drop the guns now!"
"Release Young Master Lee!"
The atmosphere was really tense. No one wanted to take a step back.
At this critical moment, the footsteps of a pair of leather shoes were heard. It attracted much attention and they all turned to look curiously.
The footsteps were getting closer. A young man, who was about 26 or 27 years old, came into everyone's view. He looked elegant in a white suit and he wore a light smile on his face that eased the people down. Many young women even forgot that they were in a dangerous situation. They looked at the approaching young man in a daze.
"It's so lively here!" The young man took a glance around and said calmly. He was not shocked at all.
"Young Master Lee, it's you!" He then glanced at Vernon.
Vernon wanted to say something, but Zachary was pointing a silver needle at his head. Hence, he couldn't speak.
The man in the white suit took a look at the bodyguards around him who were armed with guns, "This is a place for business, not for you to fight with weapons. You will scare the guests away. Put down the guns!" The bodyguards did not move at all. They would only follow Vernon's orders.
Seeing this, the man in the white suit showed no expression. He walked towards Zachary, handed him a business card, and smiled, "Mr. Ching. My name is Noah Lee. My father, Henric Lee, asked me to send you his regards." "Director Lee's son? The young master of Ricardo Group?" Zachary's heart skipped a beat and took the business card.
Noah looked at the silver needle in Zachary's hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Ching, it'd be bad if you hurt Vernon accidentally. Why don't you put down your weapon and let's have a peaceful talk."
Zachary hesitated for a moment, but Noah smiled and continued, "I can guarantee the safety of Mr. Ching and Miss Lim."
After thinking for a moment, Zachary nodded slightly. He withdrew the silver needle in his hand and pushed Vernon away. Noah was sent by Henric, and he trusted Henric very much.
Several bodyguards rushed over. They held Vernon behind them and guarded him.
Vernon was gasping for breath, looking extremely furious. He had never been treated like this before. He was held as a hostage, which was extremely humiliating.
Feeling ashamed and furious, Vernon roared, "Beat him to death!"
The bodyguards became agitated. Noah's face darkened as he said sternly, "I've said that I'll guarantee the safety of Mr. Ching and Miss Lim. Young Master Lee, pay me some respect!" Although his voice was not loud, there was a sense of intimidation in it.
Vernon gritted his teeth, "Noah, don't intervene in this matter. It's my personal grudge with that guy."
Noah bellowed, "Whoever dares to attack them will be the enemy of Ricardo Group! I don't mind fighting with them."
"Noah, are you going to turn on me for this nobody?" Vernon glared at Noah fiercely.

Noah's expression remained unchanged. "How can people in Ludington City respect me if I can't live up to my promise? Vernon, I bet you understand this principle too."
Vernon gritted his teeth and thought for a moment. In the end, he gestured to his bodyguards and said, "Let's go." Then, he left with the bodyguards. He glared at Zachary before leaving, "Br*t, you're lucky today. I'll definitely deal with you later."
Noah smiled after Vernon had left. "Mr. Ching, Miss Lim, I'm sorry that such a thing happened in my hotel."
"Mr. Lee, you're too polite. We should thank you. I'll treat you to dinner next time. You must accept my offer!" Lauren thanked him with a charming smile.
"It's my honor to be invited by Miss Lim."
"I have to thank you and Director Lee for today. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future," Zachary said gratefully. He really had to thank Noah for his help. Otherwise, he really didn't know how the incident would end. "You're welcome, Mr. Ching. It's my father's honor to have a good relationship with you," Noah grinned.
Zachary and Lauren said goodbye to Noah and left Vista Hotel. After that, Noah left as well.
It took Harry and the other classmates a long time to come back to their senses in the corridor. They walked slowly towards the exit.
The shock in their eyes still remained as thoughts raced through their minds. "Who exactly is Zachary? He dares to stand against Young Master Lee. Also, he has a good relationship with the Young Master of Ricardo Group."
As for Victor and Tracy, a chill crept into their hearts when they thought about how they had mocked Zachary. They would definitely not be able to fight back if Zachary used his connections to deal with them.

On the top floor of Vista Hotel, Noah was talking on his phone in his office. He was watching as Lauren and Zachary were leaving. He pursed his lips slightly and said in a disapproving tone.
"Is it really worth it for us to have a conflict with the Healler Hall for him?"
"Noah, Zachary is definitely not a simple person. It'll be beneficial for us to make friends with him now. Besides, he is calm and brave. He is a good young man. You should befriend him if you have a chance to do so," Henric said on the other end of the phone.
"Alright!" Noah responded.
He didn't understand why his father thought so highly of Zachary. He didn't think that Zachary was worthy of his painstaking efforts, but he had to help Zachary since his father asked him to do so.
After hanging up the phone, he threw these matters to the back of his mind. The Ricardo Group was a large-scale enterprise and, as the heir of the Ricardo Group, Noah had a lot of things to deal with. Zachary sped all the way to Lauren's home.
He had to admit that the aphrodisiac from Healler Hall was quite effective. Although Lauren had only taken a small amount of the aphrodisiac, she was almost unconscious when she reached home. She even tried to take off her clothes when they were on the way home. Looking at her, Zachary was aroused.
Zachary carried her into her room. Then, he used Shannon Herbal Skill to transmit aura into Lauren's body to remove the effect of the aphrodisiac. He used cold water to wash Lauren's body. After finishing with all these, he could finally have a rest.
He sat on the sofa and tried to catch his breath. It was already 12 o'clock as he checked the time. It was a busy night. First, he had an unhappy gathering with his classmates. Then, he met his old rival, Vernon. Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the end.
Zachary was determined to learn some martial arts after what had happened tonight. It would not be a problem for him to deal with normal people with his current skills. However, it would be hard for him to defeat bodyguards who had undergone special training or those from the special forces even though his strength was beyond average.
