âYouâ¦â
Ken opened his mouth but could not utter a single word.
To be honest, Clarence had shocked him with his actions.
Ken would not be able to cause such a commotion, not even in Gold City.
Who was this kid?
Clarence looked at Tom. âHow are we going to settle this?â
Tomâs face was dark. He had not expected Clarence to know so many people.
He gritted his teeth and stayed silent.
Johnson went up to him and slapped him across the face.
Slap! âAre you f*cking deaf or mute?â
Slap! âWerenât you such a bad*ss just now? You smashed my brotherâs car and said you didnât care! You said you wouldnât pay for it!â
Slap! âAre you paying now?â
Slap! âYou dog, werenât you so arrogant just now? Keep up the act!â
Johnson slapped Tom more than ten times. Tomâs face became extremely swollen.
He gritted his teeth, still not daring to speak a word.
Peony was terrified. She hid behind Miranda.
Miranda bit her lip, a complex mix of emotions in her eyes when she looked at Clarence.
âStop it!â Ken roared. âEnough! Clarence, I know you have your reasons, but how can you not show mercy to those in the wrong when justice is already on your side?â
Clarence laughed. âI do have my reasons, but why should I show you any mercy? If I didnât have these friends, would you have shown me any mercy after summoning all your people over? Now that you know you canât beat me, youâre trying to reason with me? What were you doing back then?â
âYouâ¦â Ken grimaced.
He had to admit that Clarence was right. If Clarence had not summoned so many people over, Ken would not have handled the matter kindly.
He would have made Clarence remember this day forever.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He would have made Clarence fear and respect the Cox Family of Gold City.
Clarence took out his receipt from the dealer. â285 million. And Iâll only take cash.â
Ken took out a check for Clarence. Clarence took a look at it and stuffed it in his pocket.
âLetâs go.â
Then, Ken grabbed Tom, turned around, and left. He did not want to stay a second longer.
He had been very unlucky today.
After Ken, Tom, and the gang left, Clarence went up to everyone at the scene and put his hands together. âThank you, everybody. The next time you feel any discomfort, you can come to Thirteen Hall to find me. Iâll treat you. Today, I really have to say thank you to everyone for supporting me.â
Kate burst out laughing. âKid, youâre so loyal.â
Jeremy patted his chest. âClarence, your business is my business too. I thought this was something major. In the end, the people from the Cox family ran away with their tails between their legs. They made me so hot-blooded, but theyâve only wasted my time.â
Julian laughed. âBrother, Iâll head back first. You can call me anytime you want.â
As the vice president of the Martial Arts Association, Julian had a lot of business to handle and was very busy.
After everything had been solved, he still needed to go back to take care of his business.
Clarence nodded. âHave a safe trip back, Julian.â
Everyone left as quickly as they had come.
After everyone left, only the scraps of the luxury cars were left.
Jon, Anthony, Ben, and Liam looked at each other. They did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Jeremy had not left. He approached them, his eyes shifty. âClarence, didnât you tell me you have a friend whoâs going to an interview at Glorious Entertainment today? I called them and asked about it. They have a lot of people interviewing today. I think itâll be her slot soon.
âDo you want to come and have a look with me?â
Clarence remembered what had happened on the beach that night.
He recalled how Hailey had looked that night.
âGo, letâs have a look.â
âOkay.â Jeremy dragged Clarence into his Rolls Royces and had his driver drive toward Glorious Entertainment.
There were more than a thousand people lining up in the interview area of Glorious Entertainment.
There were about 50 floors in this building, and 30 of its highest floors were being rented by Glorious Entertainment.
The rent every month was around 100 to 200 million dollars.
The company was indeed rich and imposing.
Hailey stood among the crowd. She had come early in the morning to line up, but after the entire morning, it was still not her turn yet.
Meanwhile, Hailey had realized that her qualifications did not grant an advantage over the people who were lining up alongside her to interview.
âJenny Anson.
âNext, Pearl Benson.
âNext, Peppa Matthews.â
The interviewer called out names. The people who had come to the interview were all nervous.
âHailey Lester.â
Finally, it was Haileyâs turn.
The girl held her resume, and she took a deep breath before entering the office. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her and blocked her.
The manâs head was wrapped in bandages. His eyes, which could be seen through the gaps in the bandages, were filled with mockery and a taunting attitude.
âGreg?â
Hailey was stunned. She had not expected to run into Greg here.
Greg yelled. âOh, how dare you come here!â
The blonde woman next to Greg covered her mouth and sniggered. âWhere is your friend with the Lamborghini Veneno now?â
A woman in red scoffed. âWhy didnât he come to the interview with you? He said he knows the higher-ups in our company, so if he had come with you, you might have been able to pass the interview smoothly.â
The blonde woman towered over Hailey. âYou should be able to pass through all the tests smoothly. Why are you still lining up with the rest of them?â
Hailey did not say anything.
âWhat happened? Why is the interviewee not coming in?â The interviewer rushed out of the office to see what was going on outside.
Greg had a look of mockery on his face. âIf you had said yes to me before this and climbed into my bed last night, do you think youâd need to come to the interview today?â
Greg turned his head to look at the interviewer. âIâm teaching everyone here a lesson. Stop the interviews for a bit. I believe I still have the power to make this decision, right?â
The interviewer was taken aback. He had not expected Greg to be the one stopping the interviewee from entering. He simply smiled and said, âYouâre right, Mr. Dover. Youâre the one who gets to decide who joins Glorious Entertainment. You should go on with this. Weâll pause the interview for now and continue it after youâre done.â
âHahaha!â
Greg laughed arrogantly, looking at Hailey meaningfully. âDid you hear that? Iâm the one who makes the decisions around here. Your friend slapped me, and you still want to join our company? Is your brain functioning? You really dared to come for the interview today! Do you know what self-respect is?â
Hailey bit her red lips and grasped the resume in her hand tightly. âMr. Dover, there are a lot of people here. Please donât go overboard.â
âI will go overboard, and so what? Hmm? What can you do to me?â Greg approached Hailey, his beer belly protruding.
Hailey was a delicate woman. She kept backing away, but the blonde woman and the woman in red grabbed both of her arms.
Hailey struggled furiously, but Greg slapped her across the face.
Slap! âThis is payback for the slap last night.â
Slap! âThis is the debt that kid owes me.â
Slap! âThis is because you consider everyone else to be beneath you.â
Slap! âThis is to slap you silly, you lowly wench!â
Greg slapped Hailey four or five times in one go.
Haileyâs eyes were filled with tears, but she was being held down so she could not fight back. She could only suffer through the humiliation with tears in her eyes.
âOh? How stubborn. Itâs good that you could take that. I want to see how long you can endure this.â Greg laughed.
As he was about to slap Hailey again, Clarence and Jeremy arrived at the scene just in time to see Greg hitting Hailey.
âYouâre asking to die!â Clarence yelled.. He grabbed a chair and rushed toward Greg.
