Chapter 25: Teaching A Lesson
The moment Xenia Lewis finished speaking, William Scott dashed into the crowd.
“Ah! Aiyo!”
Screams were heard continuously. In less than a minute, all the men were lying on the ground. Only Rocket, Jaslin Stewart, and a few girls were still standing there. All of them were frozen on the ground, their legs were shaking and their faces were pale.
Rocket backed away in fear and stammered, “W-what are you doing?”
“What do you think?” William Scott took a step forward and slapped the rocket twice.
“Do you still want Xenia to accompany you?” As William Scott spoke, he slapped him twice again.
“I don’t want to, I don’t want to!” Rocket covered his face with his hands and knelt down with a plop. He immediately cried. “Big Brother, I’m talking nonsense. Even if I had the guts, I wouldn’t dare to have any ideas about your woman.”
“Hmph, I look down on people like you who act so tyrannical with just that bit of competence.” William Scott lifted his leg and kicked Rocket twice.
“Big Brother, Big Brother, stop fighting. I’ll compensate you. I’ll compensate you.”
“When you think of taking advantage of others, you better consider if you can afford to pay the price.”
“Don’t hit me… Don’t hit me… I’ll give… I’ll give it to you!” Jaslin Stewart met William Scott’s gaze as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast and almost peed her pants.
He had seen ferocious men before, but he had never seen one as ferocious as this. There were more than 10 men, and they were all muscular men who had been training all day. At this moment, before they even had the chance to retaliate, William Scott had taken all of them down. This guy was simply inhumane.
“Hmph!” William Scott snorted at Jaslin Stewart.
Jaslin Stewart’s legs went weak and she fell to the ground. A foul smell instantly filled the air.
William Scott’s face darkened, and he immediately pulled Xenia Lewis far away. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Xenia Lewis answered obediently like a kitten.
The two of them walked out quietly. Xenia Lewis suddenly pushed William Scott and shouted, “This is bad, this is bad. We have suffered a huge loss.”
“What loss?” William Scott shocked Lin Xuan.
Xenia Lewis gritted her teeth and said, “We didn’t receive the bet, one million dollars!”
William Scott burst out laughing and said, “You’re really planning on taking it? Gambling isn’t a good habit. You won’t feel at ease spending the money you’ve won. Besides, they’re not rich. If we really want their money, they’ll probably cry to death. We’ll just scare them and teach them a lesson.”
“A-alright then, you’re right. If they really give it to me, I can’t take it either.” Xenia Lewis smiled bitterly and said, “This is the first time I’m so close to a million dollars.”
William Scott laughed and said, “When it comes to money, you just need to have enough to spend. How much money does it take to be considered much?”
“Hey, hey, it’s easy for you to say. You’re a tycoon. You have more than five million dollars in your WeChat e-wallet…” Lin Xuan felt her heart ache when she thought of the string of numbers on William Scott’s cell phone.
William Scott smiled and said, “You really believe me? I was just showing a screenshot on purpose. I lied to them. Who would put so much money into their e-wallet for no reason? That’s not how you act.”
Xenia Lewis widened her eyes and said, “No way…”
“Why not? Do you need me to teach you how to do it? I guarantee that no one will be able to tell next time. You can lie to others for fun.”
“Pfft… Forget it then. I’m not a rich person. It would be embarrassing if someone saw through my act. Sigh, William, you’re too evil. I thought I met a super tycoon. You’ve broken my dream again.”
The two of them took a few more steps forward, and Xenia Lewis said with delight again, “I’m really mad this time. Those guys are bullying a newcomer like me. Now that I’ve vented my anger, I won’t play with them anymore.”
“If you’re having fun, you can just go ahead. If you’re not, then forget it.”
“Yeah, I’m not playing with them anymore. Oh right, William, how are you so powerful? You went up in a flash. You’re even more agile than a monkey.”
William Scott narrowed his eyes and said, “You know that I’m a special forces soldier. This kind of climbing is a life-saving skill. In order to survive on the battlefield, we often have to climb cliffs that are even more dangerous than this. There are no protective measures and it’s not something that this kind of sports can compare to.”
“Your previous experiences must have been fascinating.”
“Fascinating…” William Scott smiled. “Perhaps.”
That kind of excitement was not something an ordinary person could experience. It was the thrill of struggling on the brink of death every day. Not everyone could experience it.
Xenia Lewis tilted her head and looked at William Scott’s face. “You look like a man with a story. Can you tell me about your past?”
“Ha, what story do I have? There’s nothing much to say about being a soldier.”
“Just tell me, I’m really curious.” Xenia Lewis grabbed William Scott’s arm and shook it gently.
“Hehe, let’s talk about it when there’s a chance.”
Xenia Lewis pouted and said with dissatisfaction, “So petty. You can keep the stories for Yvette. I’ll take this call first.”
“Is there anything urgent? Okay, okay, I’ll be right there. I should be there in half an hour.” After hanging up, Xenia Lewis said to William Scott, “I still have something to do at the company, so I can’t play with you anymore.”
“You have a job? You’re out having fun on a weekday, I thought you didn’t have a job,” William Scott teased.
“You’re underestimating me. I have to support myself.” Xenia Lewis rolled her eyes at William Scott. “And, I have my own company.”
“Impressive. You’ve really impressed me.” William Scott gave her a thumbs up. He was truly a little surprised.
“Of course, if not, you might look down on me.” Xenia Lewis raised her chin proudly and blinked. “Do you want to come to my place? I have quite a few beauties there.”
William Scott happily replied, “Alright, I have nothing to do anyway.”
“I despise you, you pervert.” Xenia Lewis glared at William Scott.
They were in a taxi when William Scott asked, “What’s your company about?”
“Do you know about short videos, like those on Tiktok?”
“I know. Recently, I’ve been scrolling around when I have nothing to do. Initially, I found it quite interesting, but after looking at it for a long time, I don’t really like it anymore. But there are quite a lot of beautiful women on them.”
“Ah… you pervert, you’re just into looking at pretty girls.” Xenia Lewis pinched William Scott’s arm.
William Scott couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Everyone loves beauty.”
“Hmph.” Xenia Lewis glared at William Scott in disdain and said, “I saw that the content of these short videos lacked creativity, so I had this idea. I formed a team with a friend of mine and specially made some short videos. These short videos are not about singing or dancing, but actual story series. Those continuous stories can fulfill my dream as a director.”
