chapter 42
James was the head of the Johnson family's operations department, to put it bluntly, managing a few of his subordinates in a small organization.
There are not 10,000 but thousands of such people in the Johnson family, that is, they are just bluffing outsiders.
On the outside, though, such a title is still intimidating.
In the family, James would have been more cautious, but once outside, the long period of repression made him very concerned about the respectful gaze that came from others.
This is a person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, probably like the real villain in many novels, helpless and disgusting, but it is the part of life that will never be missing.
If it were an ordinary person who met James, he could probably only consider himself unlucky, but unfortunately Louis was not an ordinary person.
Louis's current identity is still a little strange. Let's say it's the master, his parents are still on the run, and in the past, he was a proton in another country. But to say that he is a prisoner, the Johnson family did not say it explicitly.
Therefore, until Louis's identity is clear, he is still part of the Johnson family and has the opportunity to compete for the position of head of the family.
Many of the Johnson family knew this, so they weren't very willing to get involved in the dispute over Louis, after all, what if his parents returned? Or did he really accidentally become the head of the house?
Although the latter possibility is slim, the treacherous and cunning ministers naturally do not take such a risk.
Therefore, in the end, people like James will be sent.
James didn't know anything about it, he only knew that Louis's parents had fled the place after their failure to ascend to the throne, and that Louis himself had been reduced to an outcast and exiled to the garbage star. Although Louis is now being reabsorbed by the family for some reason, what role can a former outcast play?
Not everyone has a visionary eye and a keen sense of judgment. James was clearly excluded from such a group.
His domineering behavior and reckless behavior are showing this unsober nature.
When Louis came out, he played the role of the villain to the fullest.
"Oh, this is probably our Young Master Louis, right? It's hard to see you! The extremely strange tone carried an indescribable provocation.
Louis looked at James with a very deliberate contempt in his eyes, and he said in a tone that seemed to be a noble son, "Who are you?" ”
The feeling of disdain was so great that Hank and the others burst out laughing, while James turned red with anger and felt like he was being ignored and fooled.
"You don't have to know who I am, you just need to know that I'm here to pick you up, pack your things and come with me." James's original disguise was completely removed because of the atmosphere, and the most authentic attitude was revealed.
Louis glanced at Hank without saying a word, and Hank immediately understood, slapped James in the face, and said as he struck: "What are you, dare to talk to the little master in this tone!" ”
James looked at Hank's attack with disdain, and he thought that the damage that this kind of "country man" could do was probably similar to that of a little girl, even if the other party looked a little stronger and heavier than the average person, he was just a burly-looking "country man".
He stretched out his hand to block it, and the pose was quite nice.
He had an unfathomable expression on his face, and he was secretly smug in his heart: If the opponent's move is blocked by me lightly, and with this expression, it can be called perfect!
It's a pity that his wish was shattered by reality before it came true.
Hank's slap roared with overwhelming force, and James's outstretched wrist only hindered it for less than 0.1 seconds before it became a prop to attack him together.
Hank's slap slammed into James' face, along with James' own wrist.
By the time James realized that something was wrong, it was too late to take more protective measures. The heavy blow caused his head to dizzy for a moment.
Although the situation soon improved, James's lost face was as unusable as the bread that was still in the stinking gutter.
James had a moment of chagrin, but the feelings were short-lived, as they quickly turned into anger.
James was a face-loving man, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big difference in behavior. It is precisely because of the loss of face in front of the superior that he hopes to find this lack in the inferior.
Louis looked at James with red eyes, but he didn't feel the slightest regret or fear.
He walked straight past the crowd and over to James's side.
James is about 1.8 meters and Louis is only a little more than 1.6 meters.
James looked as muscular as he did for the many Europeans and Americans he had seen in the past. After all, Louis is still only a nine-year-old child, his body has not fully grown, and he still has the characteristic thinness of a teenager.
It's a not-so-equal comparison, and Louis is undoubtedly weak in terms of appearance alone.
But Louis was dismissive and looked at James with piercing eyes.
James lost his mind for a moment, as if he had seen a ferocious beast in Louis's eyes, and this beast, though still in its infancy, seemed to be ready to leap to its feet and devour him!
James came back to his senses, but Louis was still in the form of a child.
His expression softened from anger and arrogance to confusion and worry.
Louis didn't pay any attention to the shift, or he didn't care what an ant like James thought.
"Your master has not sued you, when other masters ask questions, do you want to answer as soon as possible?" Louis suddenly kicked a side kick into James' shin bile.
James fell to his knees unprepared.
He didn't expect that Louis would suddenly make a move, let alone that he was completely powerless.
"I don't like people talking to me condescendingly, so it's more comfortable to talk like this." Louis said, grabbing the clothes on James' chest.
James was much shorter than Louis because he knelt on the ground, so he happened to see the banter and coldness in Louis's eyes.
The cold light eliminated the last bit of resistance in James's heart, although he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but at this moment, he no longer dared to show the slightest disrespect to Louis.
Louis didn't stop because of this, if the other party just took him back step by step, he wouldn't bother to bother with such a little person, but the other party not only didn't take him seriously, but also came out to destroy it when he and Si Nian combined, and even disturbed his opportunity to see Si Nian's spirit body!
How can such a person be forgiven lightly?!
Louis was irritable inside, but his expression was calm.
It's just that no matter how calm his expression is, his eyes finally reflect his heart, so James will stop resisting after seeing Louis's eyes.
Villains, because they are afraid of death, are often more keenly aware of danger.
Louis put down the clothes in his hand, slowly took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped his hands little by little, without a trace of dirt.
Carrying a handkerchief with him was a habit left to him by his mother, Madame Candace.
As Louis let go, James collapsed to the ground.
Louis's eyes frightened him, but his face flushed again when he saw Louis carefully wipe the finger he had just touched.
He didn't dare to resist, but that didn't stop him from resentful.
Louis glanced faintly at his hidden resentful eyes, and said softly, "You should have been in the Johnson family for a long time, right?" Have you seen what happened to the servants who offended their masters? Although they left there a long time ago, I can fully imagine what they would do to their hated servants, as they have the same bloodline. I'm a good host, but only if you don't provoke me, otherwise, it's hard for me to guarantee that something bad will happen in anger. Sometimes, death isn't the scariest thing, is it? ”
Louis's voice grew softer, but the threatening component of his words grew heavier.
James suddenly thought that the little young master in front of him was not a child who grew up in the family greenhouse, and the other party was abandoned in the garbage star when he was a child, and not only survived on that harsh planet, but also seemed to live well.
I heard that there are some extremely vicious people there, or some barbaric and uncivilized primitive tribes, and the children who grew up there are probably not normal for a long time, right?
Because of the asymmetry of information, people's impression of Junk Star mostly stays in imagination and hearsay, but although his guesses are somewhat different from the actual situation, Luis's assessment of this point has unexpectedly returned to the accurate position.
Isn't Louis a little pervert who is not psychologically normal and good at disguise!
James, who was threatened by Yan Zhan, weighed the pros and cons and decisively chose an approach that was more conducive to his current situation.
"My dear Young Master Louis, I am James sent by the Johnson family to fetch you, and you may call me by whatever name you wish. There was just a small misunderstanding, please don't mind, I am willing to do my best to make up for any unhappiness caused by this. I think you must need someone who understands the situation of the family to help you when you first arrive in the family, and my shallow ability may not be able to completely solve your problems, but your heartfelt servant can still do it before and after the saddle, after the horse, and serve tea and water. If you agree, James will be your dear servant from now on! ”
James spoke without the slightest shame or struggle, as if the words were utterly heartfelt.
Although everyone present didn't believe those extremely sincere words, even Louis, who was already angry, couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
James was relieved to see the big guy's faint smile.
He does love face.
But how much is a villain's face worth?
