Unable to resist Alfred’s persistent nagging, Terence glanced around and decided to stop his electric bike. He
walked into a late-night restaurant by the street and shared his location with Alfred.
“Sir, what would you like to order?” The middle-aged restaurant owner approached, wiping his hands
with a towel.
“Well, I’ll have a pot of clam chowder, a plate of buffalo-style chicken wings, a plate of beef stir-fry with noodles,
and a plate of mac and cheese…”
Hearing Terence order almost every dish on the menu, the restaurant owner was astonished.
“Sir, are you sure you can finish all that food by yourself?”
“Hehe, I haven’t had a taste of hometown dishes in a long time, so I’ll indulge a bit more.”
Terence insisted.
Without hesitation, the restaurant owner prepared the food as requested, without doubting whether he
could afford it.
After about half an hour, all the late-night snacks were served, filling the entire table.
Terence was in high spirits, ready to savor every dish.
At that moment, the sound of motorcycle engines came from outside the restaurant, and a group of young men

It was Marilyn and her group once again.
They got off their motorcycles and were discussing a hot topic in town.
“Hey, have you heard? There’s a wealthy man named Quillen who invested 150 million in our town for
development.”
“Wow, does that mean our rundown place is going to thrive?”
“I heard he used to live in our town. With such a wealthy investor, our nightlife is going to be even better.”
“I wonder if this wealthy man is looking for some female companionship? Hehe…”
The young men and women spoke without restraint.
Marilyn also fell into fantasy because she believed the life of a billionaire would be exciting.
However, when they walked in and saw Terence, they stopped in their tracks.

‘Oh, old man, we meet again, don’t we?”
“Do you think you can finish all that late-night snacks by yourself?”
“Haha, mind if we join you?”
A group of young men approached, and they seemed to want to pat Terence’s head.
“Stop!”
The middle-aged restaurant owner called out, hastily rebuking them. “Do you even understand the concept of
respecting your elders? I’m warning you, don’t mess around in my shop!”
“Haha, the old man wants to treat us to a late-night snack. What can you do?”
“Right? Old man, you’re willing to treat us, aren’t you?”
The group gathered around Terence, and although they didn’t sound threatening, their numbers made it difficult for
most people to refuse.
“Do you want to die?”
Suddenly, a deep voice with a murderous aura sent shivers down their spines.
Hearing this, Remus and the others looked back and were scared out of their wits.
Outside the door, Alfred arrived with dozens of black-clad men, just in time to protect Terence.
Their grandeur and presence were unmatched compared to Remus and his gang.
They were professionals.
Marilyn trembled with fear and amazement. She wondered who the person in charge of these men was.
Alfred walked in confidently.
Remus and the others naturally dispersed, realizing that this old man was not someone to mess with.

However, Alfred unexpectedly walked up to Terence and bowed respectfully, saying, “Old Mr. Quillen, we have
arrived.”
Good.”
Terence still smiled warmly and nodded.
Moments ago,
the young people thought he was smiling foolishly. Now they saw him as a powerful
figure.

Marilyn couldn’t help but ask in astonishment, “Old Mr. Quillen? Are you… the boss they work for? Are you Mr.
Terence Quillen, who just invested 150 million in our hometown?”
Terence looked at her, his face filled with kindness as he nodded. “Yes, I am Terence Quillen. Over fifty years ago,
like you, I was a lost soul in this small town. Haha…”
Upon hearing his laughter, Remus and the others looked embarrassed and panicked.
These young people who were just arrogant and self-confident were now lowering their heads, trembling, and didn’t
dare to speak. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
They had just arrogantly patted the head of such an influential person, and if he were to seek revenge, they would
surely be in deep trouble.
Terence suddenly stood up.
Remus and the others were so frightened that they stumbled, and some nearly fell to the ground.
