CHAPTER 1618 I CALL THE SHOTS

"Whoever stole my wallet, you'd better own up right now!"

"If your wallet was stolen, you can make a police report. You don't have the right to seal off the hotel and disallow anybody to come in and out.” One man clearly needed to leave the hotel urgently but was blocked by Seo's men while leaving, so he was very angry.

Seo stared at him and the murderous look in his eyes intensified. He looked like a wild beast that was staring at its own prey.

He walked over and the vicious glint in his eyes made everyone feel fearful.

"Were you the one who stole my wallet?"

"It wasn't me!"

"If it wasn't you, then why are you in a hurry to leave? If you admit to stealing my wallet, I'll let everyone out!"

"I did not!” "Search him!” shouted Seo. A few subordinates rushed over to pin him to the ground and stripped him of all his clothes there and then in front of everybody else.

"Looks like it really isn't you," said Seo flatly. "Let him out."

Then he looked at the rest of the people in the hotel. "Anyone else wants to prove their innocence?"

It was silent in the lobby.

Who else would dare to? This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

If they had to be publicly stripped and thrown out of the hotel, their reputation would be ruined for the rest of their lives.

There was nothing more embarrassing than this.

Nobody dared to talk because they all knew that Seo was purposely making an example of that man to scare everyone else.

Members of the Black Dragon Society were domineering alright.

"What's going on?"

Xiaozhao and her team walked out from the elevator to see that a huge group of people were stuck inside the hotel main lobby and several men were standing outside the main doors of the hotel and even chained the doors up.

"His wallet has been stolen, so in order to find the thief, he's not letting anyone leave," someone told her quietly. "If you want to go out, you have to be stripped of all your clothes in order to prove your innocence."

Xiaozhao frowned at these words.

Her team didn't have the time to wait for others to play such stupid games.

Where did these people come from? How could they be so unreasonable?

She walked to Seo and said, "Sir, since you've lost something, please make a police report and let the police handle it. You don't have the right to detain everyone else here. Please ask your men to move away, I want to leave the hotel."

The meeting was going to happen soon, so she didn't have time to waste here.

If they were late, Lee Group would use that against them. Xiaozhao knew that sort of tactic well.

"You want to leave?" said Seo calmly. "How do I know if you're the one who stole my wallet?”

"If you want to go out, it's possible. Either you prove your own innocence, or I'll prove it for you."

He stared at Xiaozhao and her team without any reservations at all.

"If you can't prove your own innocence, then you can forget about going out until I find the fellow who stole my wallet."

Seo smiled coldly as he looked at Xiaozhao and her team. His voice was threatening and disdainful.

It was as if the team had to either admit to being the thief, or they had to strip in order to prove their innocence.

Otherwise, they could forget about leaving this hotel!

The atmosphere in the lobby instantly became both tense and serious.

Xiaozhao started to look a little anxious. If this went on, they'd be late for sure. If they were late for their first negotiation meeting, then it would give Lee Group a bad impression and Lee Group would probably claim that Lin Group wasn't serious about the negotiation and force them to change their terms and conditions.

"Please move aside!” Xiaozhao was angry now. She glared at Seo without any fear on her face at all.

She took a step forward and pulled her phone out. "Otherwise, I'll call the police!"

"Sure, go ahead and call them!" Seo laughed and shook his head with a disdainful expression on his face. "You can go ahead and call the police. If anybody dares to take this case, then I'll have lost this round."

He went closer to Xiaozhao and whispered, "Look, I call the shots here, understand?"
