With a loud smack, Duncan’s hand made contact with Terrence’s cheek. The force was so strong that


    he staggered backward, nearly tripping over himself. The crimson outline of a palm blossomed on his


    face, clear


    for all to see.


    Julie, along with the rest of them, were astonished by what they saw. It was beyond their expectation


    that these thugs would be so dauntless as to assault the manager of Brooks Corporation. Were they


    out of their


    minds?


    “You–How dare you hit me!” Terrence held his cheek in his hand, gasping in disbelief. “Do you not


    know who I am? I am a managerial level in Brooks Corporation!”

    “So what?” Without another word, Duncan gave him another hard p. I’d probably be intimidated if


    Roderick Brooks himself were here. But a mere manager? Do you think I’d be afraid of you?”


    “You scumbag! You’re done for, I’m telling you! How dare you hit me! I’ll make you pay if it’s thest


    thing I do!


    Beside himself with rage. Terrence pulled his phone out and was about to call for backup.


    “Fuck you!” Duncan kicked Terrence to the ground and bellowed, “How dare you act so arrogantly


    when death is staring you in the face? Get him, boys! Give him a good beating and show him who’s


    boss! With his orders, his henchmen came forward and rained kicks and punches down on Terrence.


    “Stop it! Stop this immediately, or I’m calling the cops! Julie shouted. These thugs were going to be in


    deep trouble for messing with Terrence!


    “Call the cops? Yeah, you go ahead and try that, and you’ll be walking out of here with one arm less!”


    Duncan red at her nastily. That did the trick and shut Julie up.


    “You you you’re too much!” Victoria was so angry, but there was nothing she could do, and that added


    to her frustration. She was consumed by distress at the sight of her prospective son–inw being


    beaten up.


    “This is all your fault, Rhys! If it wasn’t for you, Terrence would never have been beaten up!” As usual


    Florence pinned the me on Dustin. Bullying people that she thought were weaker than her was what


    she did best. “I’m not the one beating him up! What’s this got to do with me?” Dustin was speechless.


    After all, it was Terrence who wanted to be the hero of the day but ended up embarrassing himself.


    “Hmph! Terrence was helping you, and you’re here making sarcasticments. Are you even human?”


    Florence demanded furiously.


    “Well, maybe I’m not. If you are, why don’t you go ahead and save him?” Dustin gestured in Terrence’s


    direction.


    “You-” Florence was rendered speechless. She would never dare to save Terrence because she feared


    that she would be implicated.


    “Dustin, you fight well, Hurry! Go help him out!” Dahlia’s brow was lurrowed. Terrence had meant to


    help them, so she could not just stand there and watch him being assaulted without doing anything


    about it.


    “Alright.” Since Dahlia was the one who asked, Dustin finally got up and gave several of the henchmen


    kicks that sent them flying. “You’ve had your fun, and your anger should have subsided. That’s


    enough,” he said

    nonchntly.


    “You’re in deep shit yourself! How dare you concem yourself with other people’s business?” Duncan


    spat spitefully.


    “Come straight at me if there’s anything you’re displeased about. Do you even call yourself a man if


    you bully the weak?” Dustin said calmly. Terrence, who was cowering on the ground, looked insulted


    when he heard. Dustin calling him weak. He had meant to flex his muscles and show off how powerful


    he was, but these thugs had no regard for his status whatsoever! And because of that, not only did he


    get beaten up, Dustin ended up walking away with the credit that was supposed to be his. This was


    humiliation unlike any other!


    “Fine! I won’t attack him. I’ll attack you instead!” Duncan smiled viciously and beckoned for his men to


    go forward with a wave. “Mess him up! And go all out while you’re at it! I’ll bear the consequences!”


    “Yes, sir!” The group of henchmen answered and charged up toward Dustin all at once.


    At the sight of that. Dustinposedly picked up a handful of cutleries from the table and threw them


    straight


    ahead. As the whooshing sound halted, everyone saw that the forks and knives were half–buried in the


    henchmen’s thighs.
