Chapter 198: Not Showing Mercy to Those in the Wrong When Justice Is Already on Your Side?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You…”
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. “How are we going to settle this?”
Tom’s 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! “Are you f*cking deaf or mute?”
Slap! “Weren’t you such a bad*ss just now? You smashed my brother’s car and said you didn’t care! You said you wouldn’t pay for it!”
Slap! “Are you paying now?”
Slap! “You dog, weren’t you so arrogant just now? Keep up the act!”
Johnson slapped Tom more than ten times. Tom’s 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.
“Stop it!” Ken roared. “Enough! 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?”
Clarence laughed. “I do have my reasons, but why should I show you any mercy? If I didn’t have these friends, would you have shown me any mercy after summoning all your people over? Now that you know you can’t beat me, you’re trying to reason with me? What were you doing back then?”
“You…” 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.
He would have made Clarence fear and respect the Cox Family of Gold City.
Clarence took out his receipt from the dealer. “285 million. And I’ll only take cash.”
Ken took out a check for Clarence. Clarence took a look at it and stuffed it in his pocket.
“Let’s go.”
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. “Thank you, everybody. The next time you feel any discomfort, you can come to Thirteen Hall to find me. I’ll treat you. Today, I really have to say thank you to everyone for supporting me.”
Kate burst out laughing. “Kid, you’re so loyal.”
Jeremy patted his chest. “Clarence, 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 they’ve only wasted my time.”
Julian laughed. “Brother, I’ll head back first. You can call me anytime you want.”
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. “Have a safe trip back, Julian.”
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. “Clarence, didn’t you tell me you have a friend who’s 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 it’ll be her slot soon.
“Do you want to come and have a look with me?”
Clarence remembered what had happened on the beach that night.
He recalled how Hailey had looked that night.
“Go, let’s have a look.”
“Okay.” 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.
“Jenny Anson.
“Next, Pearl Benson.
“Next, Peppa Matthews.”
The interviewer called out names. The people who had come to the interview were all nervous.
“Hailey Lester.”
Finally, it was Hailey’s 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 man’s 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.
“Greg?”
Hailey was stunned. She had not expected to run into Greg here.
Greg yelled. “Oh, how dare you come here!”
The blonde woman next to Greg covered her mouth and sniggered. “Where is your friend with the Lamborghini Veneno now?”
A woman in red scoffed. “Why didn’t 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.”
The blonde woman towered over Hailey. “You should be able to pass through all the tests smoothly. Why are you still lining up with the rest of them?”
Hailey did not say anything.
“What happened? Why is the interviewee not coming in?” The interviewer rushed out of the office to see what was going on outside.
Greg had a look of mockery on his face. “If you had said yes to me before this and climbed into my bed last night, do you think you’d need to come to the interview today?”
Greg turned his head to look at the interviewer. “I’m teaching everyone here a lesson. Stop the interviews for a bit. I believe I still have the power to make this decision, right?”
The interviewer was taken aback. He had not expected Greg to be the one stopping the interviewee from entering. He simply smiled and said, “You’re right, Mr. Dover. You’re the one who gets to decide who joins Glorious Entertainment. You should go on with this. We’ll pause the interview for now and continue it after you’re done.”
“Hahaha!”
Greg laughed arrogantly, looking at Hailey meaningfully. “Did you hear that? I’m 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?”
Hailey bit her red lips and grasped the resume in her hand tightly. “Mr. Dover, there are a lot of people here. Please don’t go overboard.’
“I will go overboard, and so what? Hmm? What can you do to me?” 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! “This is payback for the slap last night.”
Slap! “This is the debt that kid owes me.”
Slap! “This is because you consider everyone else to be beneath you.”
Slap! “This is to slap you silly, you lowly wench!”
Greg slapped Hailey four or five times in one go.
Hailey’s 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.
“Oh? How stubborn. It’s good that you could take that. I want to see how long you can endure this.” 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.
“You’re asking to die!” Clarence yelled.. He grabbed a chair and rushed toward Greg.
