The guests were all shocked to their bone marrow. They couldn't believe what was going on.
A resident among them is the Young Master to the rich man with the Rolls Royce.
"What's going on?"
"I can't fathom that this man, who seems like a nobody, is actually rich."
"So this Mr. is such a rich man and yet he decides to live this way in this motel." The guests referred to James. "He's such a fool."
"Oh! I think he's so humble despite his wealth!" Another argued.
"God dammit and I think I need to give this Sir a nice treatment," one of the sex workers said. "He's gonna enjoy me."
"What the f**k? I can't believe this pauper is rich," a gangster smoking nearby said with surprise to his fellow.
"Darn it. We need to be swift." His fellow replied.
Even Tom the manager was shocked that it was James.
Mr. Ken and the rest of his staff were equally taken aback by the unfolding drama. Mr. Ken whispered to Tom, inquiring if he had ever been treated poorly. He warned that mistreating James would cost Tom his job.
"Did you ever treat him poorly? Because if you do, you'll lose your job."
The commotion among the guests continued to escalate as they discussed the unexpected revelation about James, whom they referred to as "Mr." The guests were in awe, finding it hard to believe that such a wealthy individual was choosing to stay at a humble motel like Ken's.
They all started to hail James.
"Good morning, Sir!"
"You're so humble."
"He's on simple clothing."
"What are you talking about, Sir?" James feigned. He doesn't want anybody to know who he was. "Please stand up. I don't know who you're."
"Young Master, it's me, Gregor." The man replied. "I'm not sure you'd still remember me. It's been three years."
James was at a loss of words. He needed a plan to shift the guests' attention away from the unexpected revelation and to keep his true identity concealed.
A sudden idea flashed through James's thoughts. He contemplated the notion of convincing everyone that the entire situation is scripted and that it's only a rehearsal scene for a movie.
In the midst of the noise, he whispered something to Gregor who happened to understand.
He took a deep breath, stood up straight, and spoke up. In a confident tone, he addressed the guest, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to clear up any confusion."
The guests all went silent as they were all eager to hear him speak.
"What are you talking about, sir?" The busty sex worker asked?
"It's not what you think. I'm a nobody."
"Huh?"
"Yes, What you all saw was not real but rather a rehearsal for an upcoming film."
"That's a lie!"
"He's speaking the truth." Gregor defended him. He stepped forward and put one hand across James' shoulder like he's the boss.
The guests exchanged puzzled looks, but Gregor kept up his act. He continued, "The young man beside me, James, is a skilled actor. No doubt, but his script required him to rehearse his performance.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ken was not having any of it. "What's the meaning of this prank? Huh?" Mr. Ken barked, "What do you take us for? Just because you have a Rolls-Royce, you think you can come in here and do as you desire?"
"I apologize for any misunderstanding." Gregor said.
"What'll an apology do now?" Mr ken continued to rant. Everyone knows he has a short temper. "Do you know how much damage you've caused us and how much inconvenience you've caused our guests?" I'll make sure I sue you…"
"It hasn't gotten up to this gentleman." Gregor tried to reason with Mr Ken but the fellow was not having any of it.
"Tom," he ordered. "Get the security to come teach these pranksters a lesson."
"Ok Sir! Tom quickly leaves the scene to get the security guards outside.
The men continue to argue among themselves until Tom arrives with the security who rushed to where Mr Ken was standing.
"You sent for us, Sir!" They said in unison.
"Yes I need you to teach these tricksters here a decent lesson!"
The security began advancing to where James and Gregor were standing before they heard Gregor speak.
Gregor, unaware of what to do next, decided to reveal his identity.
"I'm from the Wane family." He said bringing out an ID.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to reveal my identity too to these people? " James whispered to him in an anxious look.
"I'm sorry, Young Master, but that's the only way we can get out of here unscathed." Gregor replied.
When the security guards saw the ID, they stopped dead in their tracks and retreated back.
The Wane family is the richest and most powerful family in the whole of the country.
Despite their power and wealth, they are always humble and kind
And despite their humility, you dare not mess with them.
They always oppose every oppressive and unlawful action from the other wealthy families in the country—the reason they have a lot of wealthy enemies.
Everyone, including Mr. Ken was shocked and speechless when they discovered that Gregor is from the Wane's family.
"You see, my team and I were contemplating on using this motel and everyone here for a movie. This place has a unique atmosphere that we believed would be perfect for our movie. But it seems you're not interested. You all just missed a 50 million dollar deal." Gregor lied.
"What? Sir, are you serious? Please, sir, it's not what you think. I… I didn't mean to react that way." Mr. Ken pleaded.
"Come on James, let's go."
The guest all began to beg Gregor for Mr. Ken's sake.
They knew that if Mr. Ken got the deal, they would also be in the spotlight.
Some even began to curse Mr. Ken.
"What in the seven hell has gotten over you, Ken?"
"Why would you let your temper get over you?"
"I swear if I don't get this deal, you'll be in trouble."
"Please Sir, we're really sorry. He didn't mean to offend you."
Gregor thought for a moment before he said, "I'll only grant you the deal if this actor here says so." He pointed towards James.
They all turned their attention towards James and began to beg him.
"Please, actor, help us beg him."
"We really need the deal."
"Mr. Ken is a good man, he just has a short temper."
James, unaware of what he was saying, gave a nod to Gregor. "I'm in support."
The whole crowd erupted in shouts of joy. They all ran towards James and lifted him above the ground, carrying him up high.
"You're the best, actor!..."
"Thank you so much, actor!..."
Gregor had to start spraying money before they let go of James and began picking up the money.
They barely managed to get out of the motel amidst the jubilating crowd and into the Rolls Royce.
Inside the car, Gregor formally Greets James.
"Welcome home, Young master. We were all worried about you. Thank God you're safe."
"Thank you, Gregor. I never knew you're such a nice actor."
"I'm glad to be of great service to you."
He handed James the diamond black card.
"Here is the card, Young Master."
"How much is it worth?" James asked him.
"It's worth 10 billion dollars."
James took the card from him. He looked at it for some time and then put it away in his pocket.
A lot of things needed to be sorted out, he took out his phone and dialed Eric's number.
"Hello, Eric. Where are you?"
"I'm in the hospital. My daughter just died." Eric's voice cried from the other end.
"What?..."
