Chapter 2. I Am Strong

A call came for Mawar a few moments then to remind him.

"Sir, please take more than 900 million US dollars as compensation for the four years. Besides, there is a Spanish Restaurant, a karaoke center, and a five-star hotel all purchased under your name."

"You can head to the SZ Bank and reach out to Mr. Steven to arrange your money. Everything has been set, Sir. I've also prepared you a scooter."

Leon felt much calmer as soon as he heard Mawar's warm voice.

'It has been four years, and as heir to this amount of money, it is about time for me to make a comeback. I wished to interact with you all like normal people, but all you've been is cruel to me. It's time to show you all my real power!"

In half an hour, Leon made it to the SZ Bank branch without changing his work clothes.

Leon planned to withdraw some of the money as pocket money. The rest will be left to Mr. Steven to manage.

By coincidence, it is a crowded day at the bank. Leon didn't want to look eye-catching, so he didn't straight away look for Mr. Steven and took a queue number instead.

A woman dressed in the bank's uniform came to him.

Her sexy body swayed as she walked in high heels.

"Excuse me, mister, my name is Shally. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'd like to withdraw money," Leon replied.

"My apologies, Sir, since the bank service is very busy today, you can withdraw through the ATM instead. That way will save you time too. We hope for your understanding."

"The ATM has a limit. I'll have to withdraw from the counter." Leon answered easily.

Leon took the queue order as instructed, so why does he have to give it up for other customers?!

"Sir, the counter is very busy. Please just withdraw from the ATM!" Shally answered back with a shooing tone.

But what to do if they need to withdraw a large amount of money should be done at the counter.

Shally eyed Leon from head to toe. In any case, Leon is just a delivery man. Shally can't treat him the same way she would wealthy customers.

"So why are they allowed to withdraw at the counter?" Leon asked while pointing at the counter.

"They are withdrawing large sums of money, Sir. About more than One million dollars." Shelly said, arrogantly folding her arms.

Leon's face showed only a confused expression.

Is One million dollars already a significant amount?

"Alright then. I'll just cancel."

Leon felt that if the bank employees think a mere One million dollars is too much, their work's efficiency must be questionable.

The transaction he wanted today was worth billions. Leon himself was worried these employees might make a mistake out of surprise at the massive amount of money.

Shally thought she was winning and said, "What a waste of time!"

"Yes, this is a waste of time. I will just look for Steven then."

Leon didn't even bother knowing Mr. Steven's full name. Mawar has arranged everything for him.

Hearing what Leon said, Shally raised her eyebrows.

"What makes you think you can just call him that?"

"If so, how about I call him by name? That would be so rude."

Sally's facial expression immediately darkened, her face cold as ice.

"Security! Security! Take him out! He is causing a commotion!"

Two guards immediately came and stood in front of Leon.

Leon looked at the two cynically. He exudes a dominating aura against the guards in front of him.

As an heir to his family, Leon was trained in self-defense from the age of three. When he was seven, he was tossed into a wolf's lair to fight against them for food. To him, these guards are just nothing!

The guards wavered in the presence of Leon's dominating aura.

"Why are you just looking, quickly send him out of here!" Shally shouted while stomping her feet.

"Let's see if you dare! If you move forward, I'll make you regret your whole life!" Leon said with a smug grin.

The two guards stood still in fear. Shally became angrier until her face turned red.

"How useless are both of you!" Shally shouted while pointing at the guards.

"Don't be hard on them. I didn't come today to make a commotion. Take me inside, I want to see Mr. Steven."

Ms. Shally immediately recalled that Mr. Steven told her a VIP customer was coming today. Is it possible Leon is the customer he meant?

After thinking for a short while, Shally rejected her thoughts. How is it possible that a VIP Mr. Steven mentioned is just a food delivery boy?

During her time working at the bank, she has held data of many of Oregon's wealthy upper-class but never once has she heard of this young man.

At that moment, a man in his late 50s dressed in luxury brands entered the bank. Shally quickly greeted the man.

"Welcome, Mr. Jeremy. If there is anything urgent, please head to the VIP counter."

Shally acted in a friendly manner towards the man; she undoubtedly wanted to take advantage of him.

Jeremy stole a glance at Shally's curvy body with lust and said, "Ms. Shally, I have business with Mr. Steven today."

Shally immediately understood what he meant.

Shally had interacted with Jeremy for three years, and she knew well he was a wealthy boss. He is most probably the VIP guest Steven told her about this morning.

"Mr. Jeremy, this way, please. Mr. Steven has waited for your arrival," Shally said while leading him to Mr. Steven's office.

Shally was suddenly reminded of Leon, and she was worried Leon would make a mess while she is busy.

Shally quickly made her way to Leon and warned him, "If you dare try anything, I will not hesitate to call the police!"

Shally immediately turned and stuck to Jeremy as if a stamp attached to a postcard.

"Sorry for making you wait, Sir."

Jeremy was confused and asked, "Miss Shally, what did he do?"

"Don't worry about him Sir, he's just a boy making a mess."

"Haha, what a low life," Jeremy said, eyeing Leon cynically.

Shally accompanied Jeremy to Mr. Steven's office and knocked on the door, "Mr. Steven, your guest is here."

To show her friendliness to Jeremy, Shally didn't immediately leave after opening the door. She made her appearance in front of Steven on purpose to leave a good impression.

Once the door opened, Steven was still showing his smile, but immediately his expression changed.

"Where is Mr. Wijaya?" Steven asked.

"Mr... Wijaya?" Shally replied in confusion.

While Shally was confused, Jeremy went inside the room without a care.

"Wow, Mr. Steven! You understand me well. You even prepared tea!" Jeremy said as he sat down and was about to pour his tea.

At that moment, Mr. Steven gave him a sharp look and said, "Mr. Jeremy how about we talk about our business next time? You can come again tomorrow."

Realizing something was odd about Mr. Steven, Jeremy put down his cup of tea with annoyance.

"Fine, I'll see you again tomorrow!" Jeremy shouted with anger in his voice.

Mr. Steven didn't feel like he had done anything wrong.

The tea is a Long Jing tea prepared, especially for Mr. Wijaya. It is brewed from the best tea leaves and water from a mountain spring.

Compared to Mr. Wijaya, Jeremy is nothing but a roadside stone!

"Excuse me, Mr. Steven, but I thought Jeremy was the VIP guest you meant?" Shelly asked.

"You are wrong! You cannot compare Mr. Wijaya to Jeremy, please pay better attention next time!"

At that moment, Leon appeared in the office, still in his uniform.

Shally is angry at Leon's appearance.

After Steven's harsh critique of her, Shally attempted to fix her image by kicking Leon out of the office.

"Why are you still here? Get out! You can't just step into Mr. Steven's office!"

Leon stood by the door without a movement and calmly spoke.

"My surname is Wijaya."

As if he was struck by lightning, Steven immediately stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Wijaya, please come in!"

"So you are Mr. Steven? Mawar asked me to see you."

"Please have a seat, Sir. I brewed this special tea for you, please enjoy."

Mr. Steven was immediately very friendly and poured compliments on Leon.

Mr. Steven knew there was only one person in the world who could mention Mawar's name aloud. That would be the one and only Leon Wijaya!

Shelly's mind became foggy; she doesn't understand what is going on in front of her.

How could a food delivery boy be a VIP guest in the bank?

Not missing a beat, Steven landed a slap on Shally's face.

The three slaps successfully ruined her makeup and made her cheek turn red in pain.

"Stupid you! Don't show up tomorrow!"

Without a second thought, Steven made a small sacrifice by firing Shally to keep up his reputation in front of Leon.

Steven heard the news that Leon came from a wealthy and influential family that dominates the country.

Shally realized after the three slaps that no matter the young man's identity in his delivery uniform, she must not disrespect him.

"Mr. Wijaya, I sincerely apologize for that. Let's be direct, Ms. Mawar wanted me to hand this to you."

After he said that, Mr. Steven stood up to unlock a safe.

What's inside the safe is not gold, expensive watches, or stacks of foreign currency, but...
