LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 65
Chapter 65: You’re Too Cowardly
Zack Linden glared at him and scolded, “F*ck, you molested our friend and you’re still so arrogant!”
The guy shouted fiercely, “I’m arrogant. What can you do? Get lost. If you don’t get lost, I’ll kill you.”
“Beat him!”
“Beat these two b*stards to death!”
Everyone had already drunk a lot and some were a little drunk. Now that they were provoked by these two guys, they were all hot-blooded. They did not know which one was the first to rush forward, but everyone rushed forward and beat the two guys up.
The two guys sounded fierce, but in fact they had drunk a lot and were staggering. They were surrounded by a group of people and had no way of fighting back. They instantly collapsed to the ground and there was no room for resistance.
William Scott stood at the back and did not join them. It would be too embarrassing for him to attack two hooligans.
“Stop fighting!” one of the women shouted.
“That’s right. If you injure them, things will go out of hand.”
Sheila Zinc also frowned slightly. Those two guys were indeed asking for a beating, but this was a country with laws. How could they use private punishment? She hurriedly quipped, “Everyone, stop. Stop quickly.”
Her words were still useful. Everyone stopped.
Zack Linden kicked the blond guy again and spat fiercely before he stopped in the end. He cursed, “You two scumbags, get lost quickly, or I’ll beat you to death.”
The two guys were beaten up and bruises appeared on them. They struggled to get up. The blond guy spat out one of his front teeth and hissed, “Fine, just you wait.”
“Come on, kid. Come again if you have the guts. We’ll fight again!”
“You two pieces of trash, get lost!”
At this moment, it was as if everyone had won a huge battle. All of them were feeling powerful and smug.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a fight. It felt good.”
“This kind of trash doesn’t know what’s good for them until we’ve beaten them up. They even dare to flirt with our friends.”
William Scott felt a little nostalgic as he looked at them. This sight reminded him of the hot-blooded impulse and the fearlessness he had in high school.
Everyone went back together. The men were still talking about the thrill of the fight, but some of the women had calmed down and said, “They don’t seem like good people. I hope they don’t bring people to seek revenge later.”
Zack Linden waved his hand and smirked arrogantly. “What are you afraid of? There are so many of us. If they come, we’ll bash them up.”
“That’s right, they’re the ones who bullied Hayley Lands. We’re in the right no matter where we go. Don’t be afraid.”
“Just do it. If you’re not convinced, do it!”
Everyone agreed enthusiastically and the overpowering aura from the men filled the room.
Sheila Zinc turned her head to look at William Scott. She noticed that he only had a mild expression on his face and did not look hot-blooded at all. She felt that he was more composed.
Ronan Toft originally thought that his bravery would make Sheila Zinc think highly of him. However, when he realized that she was actually exchanging glances with William Scott, he was a little unhappy. He spoke to William Scott, “Hey, William Scott, your temper is really gone now. Didn’t they say that people who have been in the army are all very brave? Why are you so cowardly? You didn’t even fight just now.”
William Scott replied calmly, “A soldier’s job is to protect our country, not to fight or be fierce.”
Zack Linden immediately curled his lips and said, “Forget it. I think you’re just too cowardly now. It’s easy to know why. You are no longer in high school. You don’t have money or a career. In addition, you don’t have the ability. If you don’t admit defeat and something happens, you won’t be able to take responsibility.”
“Haha, let’s not talk about William Scott anymore. As a mover, he has to work and be at the mercy of others’ temper every day. If anything goes wrong, he will be scolded. It would be strange if he still has a temper.”
“That’s true. Everyone, stop talking about William Scott. Come, let’s continue drinking.”
The others seemed to be intervening to smooth things over, but their words still sounded like they were insulting William Scott.
Xavier Herd’s expression immediately turned ugly. He wanted to speak up for William Scott, but when he turned around, he realized that William Scott’s face was calm and he seemed unaffected at all. Then, he looked at Sheila Zinc and saw that she did not mind at all. For a moment, he did not know if he should stand up for him.
At that moment, a flurry of footsteps came from outside, accompanied by curses.
Almost everyone stood up.
Bang! The door was kicked open, and then seven or eight men rushed in.
Ronan Toft and the others immediately left their seats and stood in a row. A few of them also held wine bottles in their hands. They really weren’t afraid.
The two guys who were beaten up just now were in the middle of this group of people. The blond guy pointed at the people in the room and said angrily, “Bruce, it was them who beat us up!”
One of the people in the middle of the group was tall and burly. He was wearing a tight black vest and his thick arms were covered in tattoos. His glinting eyes flashed fiercely as he swept his gaze across everyone. He slowly said, “You brats are really bold. You even dare to hit my brother!”
“Bruce King!” Ronan Toft exclaimed in surprise.
“Kid, you know me?” Bruce King stared at Ronan Toft.
Ronan Toft had started his company for the past two years and had gotten to know many people from all walks of life. He had long heard of Bruce King. Bruce King was in his mid-thirties and had been in the underworld since he was a teen. Because of his strength, he had practiced martial arts since he was young and he was known to be ruthless. He had already made a name for himself at the age of 18.
Then, he gathered a group of lackeys and did all sorts of bad things. He quickly accumulated a large sum of wealth. Next, he used this wealth to start running massage parlors, pubs, and other entertainment venues. He made even more profits.
Although he was no longer as reckless and ruthless as before, his power still existed. When it came to Bruce King, no one dared to provoke him.
Ronan Toft muttered quiet;y. He did not expect that a casual fight would offend a ruthless person like Bruce King. In front of his ex-classmates, he was a successful person, but in front of Bruce King, he was nothing.
Apart from Ronan Toft, the others had also heard of Bruce King’s reputation. They hurriedly stopped the rest of the others from acting recklessly.
Taking a deep breath, Ronan Toft smiled and said humbly, “Mr Bruce King’s name is really well-known. How can I not know?”
“Ha…” Bruce King grinned, but his face suddenly darkened. His eyes widened in anger as he shouted, “But you still dare to hit my brother? You really have the guts of a leopard, huh?”
