Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Julian, you’ve gone too far!”
Warren fell to the ground, his eyes full of resentment. He roared, “How dare you hit me?
“You may have been strong, but that was five years ago.
“Do you think you can do anything you want just because you’re the vice president of the Martial Arts Association?
“The Jennings family isn’t a member of the Wright clan! Do you really think you’re all that just because I called you Mr. Julian?”
Warren was furious.
Julian had slapped him mercilessly in front of all of these women and his own men. Did Julian have to embarrass him?
The Jennings family might not have been as rich and powerful as the Wright family, but they were still a notable family with assets of more than twenty billion dollars.
Besides, the Jennings family was not a member of the Wright clan but the Larson clan..
The Wright clan was led by the Wright family, the Hayes clan was led by the Hayes family, and the Larson clan was led by the Larson family.
The three of them co-existed.
They maintained the balance.
Warren had called Julian ‘Mr. Julian’, but that did not mean the Jennings family was afraid of the Wright family.
Slap... “Who are you to call me by my name?”
Slap... “Even if your father came here, he would not dare to speak to me like that.”
Slap... “Is the Larson clan that great? Does the Wright clan have no say in Mediterranean City?”
Slap... “You’ve offended your superior. Let’s see if your father will dare utter a word if I beat you to death.”
Slap... “Break my sworn brother’s legs? How dare you say that?”
Warren was dumbfounded after getting slapped a dozen times.
Not one of the bodyguards behind him dared to step forward.
This was Mr. Julian—the vice president of the Martial Arts Association.
Warren went mad. “Just you wait. I’m going to call my dad.”
Julian sneered. “You don’t have to. I’ll do it.”
With that said, he took out his phone and called Warren’s father. “Nathan Jennings, your son has called me by my first name and threatened me.
“He wanted to break my sworn brother’s legs, too. It wouldn’t be too much to break one of his legs after beating him, would it?
Julian threw the phone at Warren. “Your dad wants to talk to you.”
Warren took the phone, his face going through many different expressions. “What?”
“Dad!
“How could...”
As Warren listened to his father, his expression turned grimmer and grimmer, until he finally turned ghastly pale.
He bowed his head to Julian. “Mr. Julian, I’m sorry. I apologize.
“My dad said you could cripple my leg as punishment.”
Julian merely waved his hand. “Gunther, break his leg.”
“Yes.”
Gunther walked forward impassively and stepped on Warren’s calf.
“Ahh...”
Warren screamed, sweating profusely. He was carried to the hospital by his bodyguards.
Watching from nearby, Lisa and the others were scared out of their skin. They were indeed manipulative.
However, there was nothing they could do about a man like Julian, who could control the life and death of others at will.
Tricks and schemes were vulnerable in the face of absolute force.
“Mr. Julian...”
Lisa hung her head low. She was terrified but still held out hope for one last chance. “I’m from Port Island. I’m not a member of Mediterranean City’s circle, so you can’t touch me.”
“Haha.”
Julian smirked, looking at Lisa with amusement. “Keep this in mind: there’s no one in Mediterranean City I can’t touch.”
“I heard what you said earlier. You wanted to go after my sworn brother?
“You wanted to touch his family?
“Do you think I’m going to let you off lightly?”
Lisa had a grave expression. She took a deep breath and apologized to Clarence. “Mr. Howard, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I apologize to you and your wife.
“I’ll take care of the Murphy Property Development Group’s shut-out incident myself.”
Clarence was surprised.
‘Has Lisa given in?’
He could not help but give her a second look.
Clarence thought Lisa was one of those producers who behaved arrogantly because of their background and the backers they had.
Lisa took out her phone and made a few calls in succession, all in front of Clarence. “Mr. Wallace, I’m sorry for the trouble. You don’t have to pick on Murphy Group now.
“Mr. Zook, the ban on Murphy Property is no longer necessary. I’ll buy you dinner next time.
“Mr. Lucas, Murphy Property...
“Mr. Julian, I’ve apologized, and Murphy Property Development Group is okay now. This...” Lisa looked at Julian coldly. Her expression was grim.
“Get the f*ck out,” snapped Julian.
Lisa awkwardly escaped from North Star Mansion with her friends.
Julian’s expression softened. “Brother Howard, Warren got what he deserved!
“Lisa is just a producer, but as she said, she has a strong presence in Port Island and knows many people in Mediterranean City. If I did go after her, it wouldn’t have ended well for the both of us if she got desperate.
“Listen to me, and just let it go.”
Clarence nodded. “Got it, Brother Wright.
“I owe you one.”
Clarence knew Warren must have a powerful background. Julian had already done his best by calling Warren’s father in public and breaking one of Warren’s legs.
Lisa also had a powerful background.
Why else would a Port Island producer like her stir up havoc in Mediterranean City?
She must have someone backing her, or Julian would not have taken this matter so seriously.
Things had ended pretty well, as the Murphy family’s crisis had been resolved.
“Hahaha! This isn’t a favor.
“We’re brothers. Why talk about such things?
“Come. Let’s go in and have a drink.” Julian shook his head as he laughed.
Clarence and Julian drank in North Star Mansion’s King’s Room.
Meanwhile, in Mediterranean City Dos Hospital’s ward.
William was on the phone, trying to pull some strings for the Murphy family.
However, William knew that it would be impossible to help the Murphy family with his own means.
All he could do now was put on a show for Miranda.
“Mr. Lachman, do me a favor...
“Mr. Quigley, yes... I have a favor to ask of you...”
The Murphy family looked at William nervously.
A few minutes after William had made seven or eight calls, George and Kaysen’s phones rang.
Both of them answered their phones.
George shouted, “Grand River Group and Grandiose Construction Materials Group just called to proceed with their contracts. They’re willing to pay us five million dollars as an apology!”
Kaysen was overjoyed. “Mom, Dad, the bank told me they could give me a month’s interest waiver, and they’re allowing me to borrow another one hundred million dollars.
“Sunshine Insurance also said they’re not going to check on me next week, and they’re giving me free insurance for six months.”
“What?”
“That’s wonderful!”
Peony and the rest were jumping with joy. The ward was full of gaiety.
“Good son-in-law, thank you!” Peony’s eyes narrowed as she smiled. She was already calling William her son-in-law.
William was dumbfounded. Since when had his friends gotten so powerful? “Haha. The Murphy family’s business is my business. How could I let Miranda stay upset?
“Aunt Peony, don’t mention it.
“It’s what I ought to do for Miranda.”
Belle was beaming with joy. “Mom, look how William has solved the Murphy family’s crisis with only a few phone calls.
“He’s so unlike Clarence, who can never do anything right. He almost brought the Murphy family eternal damnation.”
Melody nodded her head in agreement. “Yeah, Mom, Clarence’s too cunning now.
“He had someone put on a show in Humanity Hall, and he angered Lisa, almost ruining the Murphy family.
“Miranda should divorce such a guy!”
Peony nodded with a grim face. “Miranda, divorce Clarence immediately once you get better.
“You can’t miss out on a good boy like William.”
Miranda was utterly disappointed in Clarence.
She used to hate William but was impressed by his connections and the approach he had taken today.
Miranda wondered if she should give William a chance.
