"Hmph!" One of the security guards scoffs disdainfully. "What Mr. Wood? Is he a big shot that we don't know about? Hah! Why should we apologize to a pauper with a few martial arts moves? We would never stoop that low! Moreover, this isn't your problem! Get out!"Jack's veins throb as he clenches his teeth. "Anyone who offends Mr. Wood offends me! Mr. Wood's problems are my problems! Mr. Wood is someone I can't afford to provoke! Who then are you? I have no doubt that even your master can't afford to provoke him! Don't get me pissed off and do what I said!""Hahaha," chuckles the other security guard. "What nonsense! What has he fed you? Do you have any idea who our boss is? Even you, let alone him, cannot afford to provoke my boss! Hmph, Jack, don't come here and spout nonsense! It's disgusting!"We know you are strong but if you continue to stand in our way, we will deploy all of our fighters and go toe to toe with you! We would never do what you want. can you afford to force us? Our
"No, he didn't say that just now. He didn't just indirectly address him as master," Elliot is so shocked that his mouth shapes into an O as he babbles and his body begins to shake.He pinches himself to ensure that this is real, and only after experiencing pain does he believe. "Didn't Judy say he's a mere pauper? Didn't Judy say something like that? I didn't hallucinate that, did I? No, of course not. There must be a mistake somewhere. There has to be!"He rushes over to Jack, ruffles his hair, and clears his throat. "Hi, my name is Elliot Cole. I'm the successor of the Coles family. I...""So?" Jack abruptly cuts him off with a stern look on his face. He never likes it when people hurry over to him only to babble about who they are. It irritates him."Erm, Ja... I mean, Mr. Ville, don't you think you are making a mistake and standing on the wrong side? This Lucien Wood is a mere pauper with nothing to his name. "He always speaks vain words and claims to be what he isn't. You must b
"Lions don't eat at the same table as dogs, do they? Certainly not! I, Declan Flynn, would never let a dog do things with you, Lucien!" He turns furiously to the guard and raises his fist."No, please don't hit me! I was only carrying out my master's command! Please don't kill me. I have a wife and kids I look after. I am all they've got. Please don't harm me. If not for my sake for theirs. Please, I'm begging you," the security guard, terrified out of his wits, falls to his knees and cries out.Lucien sneers. "So now you have kids and a wife you look after? I remember you, you were the same guard who said 'what Mr. Wood?' Were you not arrogant just a few minutes ago?"Didn't you say you'd fight my friend with all of your men? Why would I spare you? Or do you think because you mentioned your wife and kids, I'll be so generous to the point of letting you go? You have to pay for your crime no matter what!""Please don't kill me! I can prove my innocence! I was only carrying out an order
"Someone I shouldn't have ever thought of going against? The last face I'll see? Hah! That's so funny," Lucien laughs. He turns to Declan and asks derisively. "People blow their trumpet a lot in this city, don't they?"Declan chuckles. "They are all rich dummies, what did you expect? I'm actually so sick and tired of them. Like, they never make any other statement. It's like they were all schooled to say the same thing over and over again. "But I'm not surprised though, most wealthy men are like that; they all think they can scare everyone with their wealth so they normally always blow their trumpet without knowing who they are talking to. But guess what? They will always bow down to you!""Hahaha, I love the last part," Lucien grins.The old man frowns. How can they be chastising him in his very presence without an ounce of fear? Do they know who he is?"Hmph!" He grits his teeth. "Ain't you two afraid of death? Or do you think I'm joking?!""Do we look like we care if you are joking
The old man inhales sharply, his body jerking at how angry he is. In all his life as a wealthy man, no one has ever disrespected him in such a way. Wealthy folks like him tremble at his presence yet these paupers, these ingrates dared insult him countless times after they had already provoked him.His breath is raspy and his fists are clenched. He will never let them off! Since they want to die, he will so fulfill it.His face is so flushed! Gosh, how dare they ridicule him?! How dare they?! No, he can't take it! Never! He would never let his ego be trampled upon by poor wretched young men!"Today, the two of you will die! Let my name seize from being Tyler Bryson if I don't fulfill it!""Tyler Bryson? That is not true! He is lying!" A man in his mid-forties says boldly amid the crowd."How come you say that?""Who is he?""Do you know him?"People gather around him and start asking him questions."I personally don't know the main Tyler Bryson but I'm sure it is not that man! When I wa
Tyler laughs jeeringly. "Kid, you are so much a good actor! Let me make you a deal; if you can call up my brother and he comes right here, I'll give you my Galaxy and bow to you!"Lucien sneers. "You said it! If I call up Ethan and he appears right here, this Galaxy will automatically be mine, and you will bow to me! Everyone is a witness!""Yes!" Tyler, seeing no reason to be bothered easily accepts. The Ethan he knows would never have a thing with someone like the low life in front of him, he always entangles himself with people that will bring profits to him, so why should he be bothered? "But if you fail to do it, you'll die, and your lover and sister will become my property!" He adds.Juliet and Brianna inhale sharply, their hearts pounding. He is using us as bait? They quickly make their way to Lucien. "You're not blowing your trumpet, are you?" Juliet is the first to inquire."Yes, Lucien! I hope you're not just blowing your trumpet! We can't possibly be that man's property! We
The eyes of the people contract as they turn to see Mr. Ethan rushing towards Lucien like a thief being pursued by cops. Mr. Ethan, the wealthiest man in Richmond who is feared by all is running towards a low life! Is this something that regularly happens?They are so taken aback that they don't know where to begin. First and foremost, the pauper was not blowing his trumpet. He indeed called Mr. Ethan Bryson! And the most surprising part, he did it with such a commanding tone that none of them as rich folks can ever dare address him with! That's if they can even get to talk with him!Second, Mr. Ethan arrived a split second before the clock struck two minutes.Everyone can tell from his hurried breathing, sweaty face, and clothes that he must have rushed to meet up! And guess what? He drove himself with no guards whatsoever!Is that how terrified he is of Lucien? Does that mean he can't afford to provoke Lucien? They are so perplexed!Come to think of it, he also apologized to Lucie
Tyler snorts coldly and incredulously asks. "What deal? When did we make such a deal?" He turns to the people and gazes coldly at them before asking. "Did any of you hear anything like that?"The people shudder at his gaze. To onlookers, it might seem like Tyler is only asking a neutral question but only those staring at him right now can tell that his gaze means "talk and see if I won't kill you!"The people can only lower their heads without speaking a word. If he is who he claims to be, they can't afford to provoke him.Lucien sneers. Although he doesn't know the expression on Tyler's face as Tyler is currently backing him, he can read from the expressions on the people's faces that he is threatening them. Hah, he laughs heartily. Crazy scheming old fool! At his age, he never gets tired of coming up with derisive means to oppress people."Bravo, old cargo, you're so clever, aren't you? But let me ask you, what do you think of me? Do you think I'm stupid?"He glances at Declan. "Pla
