    “Indeed! Go back!”


    Julius Reed nodded satisfactorily.


    “Young Master Leopold, I…”


    The young man wanted to exin, but catching As Leopold’s venomous gaze, he immediately returned to his ce, daring not to say more.


    At the same time, he silently prayed in his heart, hoping that As Leopold would not me him.


    But was that even possible?


    Though resentful, As Leopold also took a deep breath of relief.


    He felt that his torment should finally be over.


    “You all! Come here! I want to see one p from each of you!” But Julius Reed’s next words sent him plummeting to rock bottom.


    ‘You…”


    “What about me?”


    Julius Reed looked at him, sneering, “Do you think you still have the capital to talk to me now?”


    “1…”


    As Leopold took a deep breath, managing to put on a forced smile, “Brother Davenport, I admit I was wrong today. Everyone has been hit, and I apologized.


    Can you let me go back?”


    Fearing that Julius Reed might have reservations, he quickly exined, “Please rest assured, today’s incident started because of me. I won’t tell my family anything about it, and you don’t have to worry about the Leopold Family seeking revenge.”


    But in his heart, he was calcting an insanely vengefuleback once he returned.


    After all, suffering two setbacks within a week would be too much for anyone to bear.


    Moreover, it happened in front of all the young gentleman anddies from Five-river Province.


    Within half a day, the news would spread throughout Five-river Province.


    How would one of the proud Four Young Masters face this?


    “Sorry, it’s already toote!”


    Julius Reed shrugged slightly, pointing at the people, “Whoever doesn’te over will end up like the guy just now. I don’t like to force people; I prefer to win them over with morality. Rest assured, whoever doesn’te to p, I won’t insist.”


    He looked around the room, seeing fear in the eyes of those youngsters.


    Anyone would be scared in their ce.


    The person they were supposed to hit was none other than As Leopold of the Leopold Family from Five-river Province!


    If they pped As Leopold today, their own misfortune might seem minor, but they feared that their entire family would suffer because of it.


    After all, they represented their respective families. “I… don’t want to hit…”


    A young man stepped forward from the crowd.


    After all, Julius Reed had stated he never forced anyone.


    There’s still something to be said for integrity, right?


    Bang!


    Just as others began to stir, Julius Reed kicked out, sending the young man tumbling to the ground.


    “I was wrong!”


    The young man immediately scrambled up and walked over to As Leopold, “Mr. Leopold, I’m truly sorry!”


    Smack!


    After pping him, he didn’t even wait to see As Leopold’s murderous look before scurrying back to his seat.


    “Next!”


    Julius Reed stood with his hands sped behind his back, a smile on his face.


    “I’ll go!”


    Ives Abbott sauntered up to As Leopold, smiling, “Little brother, you seemed quite cocky at the beginning! Do you remember what you told Sister Abbott?”


    She had not forgotten As Leopold’s disrespectful attitude towards her when he first entered the room.


    “Heh, Ives Abbott! You’d better think carefully about the consequences of what you’re about to do! Let me tell you, if you proceed with this, first ask yourself if your father would agree! They are forced by threats, doing it against their will —I might let that go.”


    As Leopold red at Ives Abbott fiercely, “But you, you’re choosing to hit me voluntarily! I will not forget this vendetta, and I’ll tell your father about it! If our families break ties, have you considered whether you can bear the consequences…”


    Smack!


    Ives Abbott’s p cut him off, “There’s no need for you to instruct me on what to do! As Leopold, don’t think that just because you carry this title of ‘Four Young Masters,’ you’re something special! To tell you the truth, I never saw you as anything valuable!”


    After delivering the p, Ives Abbott returned to her chair with an air of superiority.


    Meanwhile, she quietly unlocked her phone and started recording a video.


    Smack!


    One by one, the others made their way to As Leopold, first saying sorry, then giving an exnation, before viciously pping him across the face!


    It didn’t take long before As’s face had swollen up like a pig’s head.


    And his hearing was almost gone, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.


    “Done!”


    Ives Abbott clicked to share the video to her social circle, also adding a line of text: “Guess who the pig in front of me is! ”


    Soon enough,ments began to appear beneath the post. “Ives, you’re bullying someone again! Who is this?”


    “It looks hrious, it couldn’t actually be a pig, could it?” “Why do I feel like it’s Mr. Leopold? Haha!”


    Under this post, various rich kids started leavingments.


    Their circle was just that small; they got wind of everything almost immediately.


    Ives Abbott may be the Abbott Family’s heiress, but she enjoyed hanging out with people beneath her status.


    Because she found those at the top insufferably hypocritical.


    Over time, among the daughters of Five-river Province, her circle was thergest.


    Furthermore, some of the older generation had added her as a friend, and they were liking the post too.


    “Ives, who is that pig-head?”


    Many people messaged her privately on WeChat, all wanting to know who the unlucky soul was!


    A very few joked that it could be As Leopold.


    But nobody really thought it was As Leopold.


    This was Five-river Province, after all, where the Leopold Family’s influence was immense. Who would dare do such a thing?


    Besides, even if someone wanted to, they would have to possess the power to do it!


    Thinking about messing with As was like a daydream!


    Ives Abbott couldn’t be bothered to reply directly, so she simply added a line under the post.


    “Live broadcast of As Leopold getting thrashed!”


    Immediately, her social circle blew up.


    “You’re not kidding, right! If Mr. Leopold sees this, you’ll inevitably get a scolding from him again!”


    “Ives! Did As offend you or something?”


    “If that’s really As Leopold, I would live stream myself eating shit standing on my head!”


    Quickly, everyone started to respond.


    But looking at the video, it really did look a bit like As Leopold.


    In the video, a man was kneeling on the ground, getting pped on the face by everyone in turns.


    “As Leopold, you’re trending!”


    Ives Abbott didn’t pay further attention, instead she pocketed her phone and excitedly said.


    “Buzz!”


    Soon, As Leopold’s phone rang.


    Because he had been knocked down so suddenly by Julius Reed, As had no chance to even touch his phone.


    He hadn’t even found a chance to call for help.


    Now that his phone started ringing, As became very agitated.


    “Don’t move! Yourdy here will answer for you!”


    Ives Abbott leaped beside As, snatching the phone from his embrace in a sh.


    When she saw the iing call number, she chuckled and answered the call.


    “Mr. Leopold, that bitch Ives Abbott has posted something on her socialwork, saying you got beaten up! Hurry over there and ask her for an exnation!”


    A young voice full of urgency came through on the other end of the line.


    “Lapdog! Dare to call me a bitch? Fine! Elijah Leopold, we’re not done with today’s business!”


    Ives Abbott let out a coldugh: “You sweet-talk Sister Abbott to her face but call me a bitch behind her back, just you wait!” With that, she immediately hung up the call..
