Chapter 1116 A Reprimand Everybody there was stunned.

um... i It was bad enough that Kaze kept testing Trent's patience. .

Now, he was reprimanding Trent as if he stood on higher ground.

The young man, who was no more than 30 years old, was just a boy before Trent's presence.

The nerve of Kaze. Where did he find the courage to take jabs at the former mayor? The crowd was speechless. It was clear to them that Kaze did not know how to read the room.

Trent smirked in rage. “I have walked this earth longer than you, young man. Who are you to tell me off? “I was the mayor of the city for twenty years, I

and the people love me.

“The only thing I heard about you is your reputation as a mooching son-in-law of the Quints.

“I don’t know why you think it's appropriate for you to give me a dressing down.” Trent's tone was flat.

He had never met such an arrogant prick.

Kaze smiled callously. “It's just a nice reminder.

“It's your business whether you want to take my advice.

“Don’t keep bringing up the past. Your twenty years as the mayor only show your stagnant progression.

“You're a has-been, yesterday's news.

“If you continue to dwell on your past and use seniority as your only argument, you risk being shown up.”

Lyon and the others widened their eyes.

Kaze struck a raw nerve in Trent.

Trent was highly respected in the city as a mayor for two decades.

Yet, Kaze made it sound like Trent's twenty- year tenure meant nothing because he could not even climb higher than a mayor.

No one could put up with his hurtful words.

“Like you'd know what you're talking about.” Trent shivered in rage while pointing at Kaze.

His eyes bulged as he glared at Kaze. “ Yesterday's news, huh? I'll show you.” He waved his arm at his grandson in the back.

“Bring me a phone. I want to call Johnson.

“I want to ask Johnson if your attitude stems from his support of you because that's what the people are talking about.

“We'll see if he admits it to my face.”

Pete handed Trent the phone, and the latter dialed Johnson's private number, Johnson was attending a training course in Midstate.

He normally would not take calls during the course. However, he knew it must be serious when he realized the caller was Trent.

After sneaking out of the classroom, he took the call with respect. “This is a surprise, Trent.” Trent put the call on the loudspeaker.

Once the call connected, Johnson's voice reached everybody's ears.

Johnson, the former mayor with a bright future ahead for getting in the governor's good graces, spoke to Trent on the phone with reverence.

The crowd looked at Trent in awe. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Trent straightened his back and asked, “Do you know a young man named Kaze Lee, Johnson?”

“I do. What's the matter, Trent?” Johnson asked nervously.

Trent smirked at Kaze before asking indifferently, “I heard that you're his friend in high places.

“I want to verify with you whether this is the case.”
