Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Don’t Expect Me to Pay for You_1
“`
Clang!
The sound of the coin hitting the tile floor was particularly grating.
This was humiliation!
A humiliation to Sterling Fairbanks’ character!
The man was already kneeling on the ground, and to kill him would be no worse!
But now, Julius Reed was treating Sterling Fairbanks like a beggar, tossing him a coin!
And just a single coin!
One yuan!
The esteemed Mr. Fairbanks of the Hall Family, was his kneeling worth only one yuan?
Once this got out, Sterling Fairbanks would be completely ruined!
It would become an indelible stain on his life!
Even in death, the tale would continue to be told!
Ensuring he would never have the opportunity to turn things around!
To kill a person, crush their spirit.
“Mr. Reed…”
Sterling Fairbanks knelt on the ground, his fists clenched tightly, his teeth also grinding audibly.
“What, you think the money’s too little? Sorry, this is all I carry with me when I step out, it’s good enough you got a yuan. Get up already, quit while you’re ahead. If you keep kneeling, I won’t have any more money to give, right?”
Julius Reed continued to feign foolishness, not picking up on the underlying meaning in Sterling Fairbanks’ words.
So arrogant just a while ago, now a little kneeling should help steady his heart.
“Young people these days, too impulsive.”
He shook his head and turned to leave.
“Mr. Reed, I, Sterling Fairbanks, have been blind as a dog and offended you! I beg you to forgive this insignificant person and spare my wretched life!”
Sterling Fairbanks shouted at the top of his lungs, his body trembling uncontrollably from anger.
He wanted revenge, he wanted to kill!
But not now…
Only by earning Julius Reed’s forgiveness could he ensure the business dealings between the Hall and Leocadia families remained completely secure.
After that, he would cut the man before him to pieces!
Even the Leocadia family, lacking any real evidence, would have no choice but to let it go!
“Oh! Mr. Fairbanks of the capital, when did you become a dog?”
Julius Reed stopped in his tracks, looking at Sterling Fairbanks with great interest.
The surrounding guests also buzzed with speculation, unable to comprehend what was happening.
“Mr. Fairbanks was so domineering just a moment ago, why is he kneeling and begging now? What on earth happened?”
“I don’t know who called Mr. Fairbanks just now, but this young man is remarkable, to make Sterling Fairbanks kneel, he’s got some sway!”
“I don’t think highly of this young man, though, too conspicuous! He publicly humiliated Sterling Fairbanks today and got his way, but what about later? What kind of fate awaits him? Sterling Fairbanks will certainly seek revenge!”
Everyone had something to say, speculating on the relationship between the two men.
Finn Carmichael watched, his blood boiling.
Indeed, the Young Master had returned.
The city of gold and booze had stood up!
Three years of enduring humiliation were finally coming to an end!
The esteemed Mr. Fairbanks of the Hall Family was compared to a dog in full view of the public.
So what did that make the Hall family?
A dog’s kennel?
Would the Hall family let this go easily after learning about this?
“If Mr. Reed is willing, I, Sterling Fairbanks, will be your dog!” Sterling Fairbanks roared.
To maintain this partnership, he was willing to do anything!
Afterward, he would find the opportunity to take his revenge!
“Sorry, I’ve got plenty of dogs at home, and they’re all better than you. Even if you were a dog, you’d be a vicious one!”
Julius Reed said slowly.
Yet this statement caused the surrounding guests to break out in a cold sweat!
Daring to say right to Sterling Fairbanks’ face that he is a dog?
What sort of status did he have, to be so brazen!
“Who is this?!”
At that moment, Lucan Davenport staggered over with a drink in hand. Seeing Sterling Fairbanks kneeling on the ground, he first paused, then burst out laughing: “Brother, what’s going on! Why have you brought begging to the bar, people here are stingy, they’ll only give you a yuan at most!”
“`
He had just finished speaking when he noticed a coin lying in front of Sterling Fairbanks.
“Damn, someone actually left you a dollar!” Lucan Davenport squatted down, picked it up, and stuffed it into his pocket: “Heh, brother, I’m taking this money!”
Shameless!
Everyone looked at Lucan Davenport with disdain in their eyes.
Even Julius Reed cursed this formidable swordsman in his heart.
“Put it down!” Just as Lucan Davenport was about to leave, a cold voice came from behind him.
“That was given to me by Mr. Reed, you have some nerve to take it away!” Sterling Fairbanks lifted his head, eyes bloodshot as he stared at Lucan Davenport.
A drunk with an injured arm, daring to walk into the line of fire!
“Break both his hands, teach him some manners.”
Sterling Fairbanks glanced sideways, and the staff immediately gathered around.
He was just looking to vent his pent-up rage, and here was an injured drunkard knocking at his door.
It was a perfect opportunity for him to re-establish his authority.
As for Sterling Fairbanks’s response, Julius Reed didn’t care.
He didn’t need to reveal his relationship with Lucan Davenport.
Even with an injured arm, Lucan Davenport could handle these people like child’s play, with no difficulty at all.
Hearing Sterling Fairbanks’s words, the burly men immediately surrounded Lucan Davenport, looking at him furiously: “Kneel down and apologize to our Mr. Fairbanks!”
They had a murderous look in their eyes while showing off their robust muscles!
The sight made many bar patrons step back, afraid of getting hurt.
“What if I don’t?”
Lucan Davenport shook his glass, downing the drink in one gulp.
“Then we’ll help you kneel and admit your mistake!”
The muscular men sneered, slowly moving behind Lucan Davenport, ready to lay hands on him.
“Nice muscles, really solid.” Lucan Davenport placed the empty glass on the bar counter and threw a flirtatious look at the waitress: “Fill it up.”
After speaking, his uninjured hand grabbed the sturdy arm of one of the muscular men: “What a pity, all brawn and no brains!”
Crack!
A sound of bone breaking was heard, and the burly man turned pale, then fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
“And you!”
Whoosh!
Before the rest could react, Lucan Davenport punched another man in the face, causing a gush of blood from the nose, and after stumbling back a few steps, he fell to the ground.
“Where’s my drink!” After finishing all this, Lucan Davenport knocked on the bar counter: “Miss, what are you waiting for, pour the drink!”
“Ah…”
The girl at the front desk was so startled by this scene that she stood frozen, completely forgetting to pour the drink.
When she finally snapped out of it, she hurriedly took out a bottle of liquor with trembling hands but couldn’t open it despite several attempts.
“Kill him for me! If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility!”
Seeing his staff beaten, Sterling Fairbanks was furious to the extreme!
In just a few minutes, he was humiliated by two people!
He was powerless against Sophia Leocadia, but now he couldn’t even beat a cripple?
“You’re dead!”
A muscular man emerged from beside Sterling Fairbanks, pummeling his chest with his fists before striding towards Lucan Davenport.
“Miss, let me do it!”
Seeing that the woman was struggling, her hands shaking too much to open the bottle, Lucan Davenport immediately snatched the bottle from her and smashed it on the head of the muscle man approaching him.
Crack!
The bottom of the bottle shattered instantly.
Ignoring the remaining shards of glass, Lucan Davenport poured the liquor into his mouth.
“That’s the stuff!”
He lightly wiped his mouth with his sleeve, thoroughly enjoying himself.
“Agh!”
The muscular man shook his head and with a roar tried to rush forward.
Spurt!
Lucan Davenport jabbed the broken bottle forward, instantly stabbing it into the body of the muscle man.
“Boss, need to use the restroom, will be right back.”
He called out to Julius Reed.
“Go ahead, but remember to settle the bill for the drinks when you return, don’t expect me to foot the bill,” Julius Reed said with a light chuckle.
