Chapter 68: Defeated
After throwing the last lackey out, William Scott stopped and narrowed his eyes at Bruce King.
Bruce King surveyed William Scott coldly and said, “Kid, you’re really good at fighting. You’re really a talent. Follow me in the future.”
“Follow you?” The corners of William Scott’s mouth curled up into a smile. Bruce King was really arrogant. He was actually still thinking about this at this moment.
Bruce King continued to tempt him. “As long as you follow me, I’ll give you 10,000 dollars a month. Food and accommodation will be provided. You can choose any girl in my entertainment clubs as well.”
Seeing that William Scott did not react, Ronan Toft immediately said anxiously, “William Scott, quickly accept the offer. This is a good opportunity.”
Zack Linden also said, “If you follow Mr King in the future, you’ll be rich.”
Hayley Lands urged anxiously, “Why are you still hesitating? How much money can you earn as a mover in a month? You’re being looked down on by everyone. If you join Mr King, you will have money and status. We have to call you Mr Scott instead.”
Some of these people really felt that this was a chance for William Scott to change his life. However, there were also some who felt that if he were to accept, they would at least be on the same side now. Bruce King would not make things difficult for them anymore.
“Heh…” William Scott suddenly grinned. Then, he reached out and put his arm around Bruce King’s neck. He said with a cheeky smile,” Let’s go out and talk. ”
Bruce King actually didn’t say anything and just followed William Scott out. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak, but he suddenly felt his body go numb. He couldn’t control his entire body and was completely held hostage by William Scott.
If anyone saw Bruce King’s expression, they would definitely notice that his face was filled with fear.
“Phew, William Scott is still the bravest.”
“That’s right. Impressive. He didn’t spend all these years as a soldier for nothing. He took down so many people.”
“We’ll have to call him Boss from now on.”
Hayley Lands hurriedly came to Sheila Zinc and Xavier Herd and said, “You have to help me put in a good word for him. I’ve always been badmouthing William Scott. If he holds a grudge, I’ll be in trouble.”
Xavier Herd snorted. This woman was too sharp-tongued, and it really displeased him.
However, Sheila Zinc shook her head and said, “Don’t worry, William Scott will definitely not stoop to your level.”
Hayley Lands smiled awkwardly and said, “Yes, yes. William is magnanimous. I’m just a despicable person. How would he lower himself to my level? Sheila, you have good taste. You can see his hidden talent. Although William Scott is not as capable or successful as you now, he will definitely be very impressive in the future.”
Although Sheila Zinc was a little embarrassed by her words, she was no longer a young girl. At this moment, she could not help but say proudly, “Do you think William’s success would be to work for Bruce King? You guys have really underestimated him.”
William Scott led Bruce King out of the place. At this moment, his lackeys were still struggling on the ground. None of them could get up. Although William Scott did not beat them up badly, his attacks were quite potent. After being beaten up, the pain was unbearable. Their bodies were still numb, and it would not subside for a while.
After walking more than five feet with Bruce King and avoiding the gazes of the people behind them, William Scott let go of Bruce King. He didn’t say anything and leaned against the tree, looking at Bruce King with narrowed eyes.
“Brat, how dare you trick me? I’ll cripple you!” Bruce King was extremely angry. He was someone who had practiced martial arts after all. He rushed forward and armed a punch at William Scott’s chest. It was powerful and fast.
Slap! Slap! With two crisp sounds, Bruce King’s fist was still in the air when he received two slaps to his face. These two slaps were extremely heavy, causing his ears to ring and his head spun.
He quickly retracted his hand to defend himself, but William Scott’s next attack did not come. His head finally stopped spinning, and he saw William Scott still leaning casually against the tree.
“You’re courting death!” Bruce King was even more livid. He flipped his arm and a dagger appeared in his hand. Although this dagger was small, it was extremely sharp. It was his favorite weapon.
“Poof!”
With the sound of a dagger cutting into flesh, Bruce King groaned and stared blankly at his left arm. Incredibly, on his left arm was his dagger, and his right hand was still holding the hilt tightly.
“Come, come again,” said William Scott with a smirk.
Bruce King took two deep breaths before his body was once again under his control. Only then did he realize that his clothes were already drenched in cold sweat. He was not afraid of ruthless people. Even if he was stabbed by someone, he would not give up. However, such a strange ruthless person made him experience the feeling of not being able to control himself. That made him afraid.
Gritting his teeth, Bruce King did not pull out the dagger and allowed it to stay on his left arm. Finally, he said something he had never said before. “I admit defeat.”
William Scott said calmly, “That’s it?”
His attitude made Bruce King even more frightened. He had been around for years, so how could he not tell that the other party did not take him seriously at all? It was just like how he felt like he was in complete control when he faced ordinary people. But he was the one being controlled now.
“If you have any requests, just say it. I will do it.”
William Scott said, “I’m not interested in your nonsense, but I’m very unhappy that you want my friend to drink with you!”
A ferocious glint flashed in Bruce King’s eyes as he glared at William Scott. He had the urge to explode again, but when he met William Scott’s gaze, he suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. A strong murderous aura instantly enveloped his entire body, as if if he moved, the person opposite him would tear him into pieces.
Slap! Slap! Bam— raised his hand and slapped himself twice. Then, he took out a card from his pocket and handed it over with both hands. “There’s 100,000 dollars in this card. The password is six eights. The source of the money is definitely legitimate. Buy something for your wife to calm her nerves.”
William Scott narrowed his eyes and said, “For you to be able to survive for so many years, you’re really not too dumb.”
Bruce King hurriedly said, “Thank you for your praise, Sir. This is the first time I’ve seen someone who scares me like you. You must have an extraordinary background, Sir.” He had also changed the way he addressed William Scott. This meant that he was already in awe of William Scott and he no longer wanted to negotiate.
“It’s useless to flatter me. I won’t follow your path. However, I advise you not to do such bullying in the future. Otherwise, you will die an ugly death sooner or later.”
“Yes, yes! Thank you for your reminder, Sir. I’ll definitely give up on my evil ways.”
Naturally, William Scott did not believe Bruce King’s words. He took the card and turned to leave. “Take your men away. Don’t disturb us.”
