Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Knox Ridge was completely stunned.
The security guards showed no intention of stepping forward to interfere.
Instead, Flower Snake turned around and started walking toward her, step by step.
“What are you doing… I warn you… Mr. Radcliffe! Save me!”
Confronted with Flower Snake advancing steadily toward her, Knox Ridge’s legs went weak, and she lost all her previous bravado.
“Julius, mom she…”
Seeing his mother in danger, Quella Radcliffe couldn’t help but hold Julius Reed’s hand.
“What’s the use of calling this good -for-nothing! Hurry up and find Radley Ridge!”
Knox Ridge retreated behind Burl Radcliffe, her eyes filled with fear.
The other guests also turned to look in this direction, murmuring among themselves.
“What the hell are you looking at! Everyone, get back to your meals!” With a shout from Flower Snake, everyone lowered their heads.
At this moment, no one stepped forward to act the hero, as the wealthier people were more cautious about their own reputation.
“Today I’m going to sort you out properly!”
Seeing that everyone had lowered their heads, Flower Snake casually walked toward Knox Ridge.
“Julius…”
Quella Radcliffe was truly panicking now.
She Imew that among those present, only her husband had the power to resolve this issue.
After all, even Aron Jackson had given him face at Azure Percival in the afternoon.
“Mercy to those who deserve it, I say!”
Julius Reed spoke reluctantly.
If it weren’t for the sake of Quella Radcliffe, he really wouldn’t mind Knox Ridge suffering a bit.
With that mouth of hers, she was bound to face consequences sooner or later! “Who do you think you are! Don’t make things worse for me here!”
Knox Ridge trembled with anger, unable to believe her useless son-in-law dared to see himself as someone important!
But to her surprise, Flower Snake actually turned and walked away, no longer troubling her.
This sparked a peculiar thought in Knox Ridge’s mind — could it be that her son-in-law actually had some influence?
But Julius Reed hadn’t stepped out of the house in three years, so how could he have made any friends?
In the restroom, Radley Ridge glanced at the time and straightened his clothes before walking out.
It was time to begin his performance.
But the moment he stepped out of the restroom, he was so shocked that his mouth hung open.
His parents lay on the ground, wailing, while Julius Reed sat on a chair looking completely at ease.
“What’s going on!”
He bellowed, striding quickly toward Flower Snake.
“Son! He hit both of us! Don’t you know people from society? Call them over, take revenge for us!”
Mother Ridge regained her fighting spirit as soon as she saw her son return.
“What’s going on!”
Radley Ridge had an unspeakable bitterness inside him – the very people from society he knew were right in front of him, but why were they attacking his own family?
“What’s going on?”
Flower Snake smirked coldly with narrowed eyes.
“Little brother, you almost got me killed there!”
In the afternoon, Jaxen Brandon and Julius Reed had a confrontation and both inevitably suffered humiliation, let alone him?
Compared to Jaxen Brandon, he was nothing, not even worthy to be called a fart.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
Radley Ridge said sternly, pointing to his parents, “Give me an explanation!” Under no circumstances could he show even the slightest sign of weakness.
Not to mention that Quella Radcliffe was right there watching, and with his parents beaten up like this, if he still remained silent and endured, how would others see him?
“Forget talking to him! Call someone to beat him up!”
Father Ridge touched his swollen face, his eyes nearly spitting fire. “Radley, people like him need to be taught a lesson!”
Seeing Radley Ridge return, Knox Ridge felt her confidence returning somewhat.
After all, the Ridge Family did have some strength in Gonzalez City, and Radley Ridge was a student who studied abroad, with many impressive friends.
“Explanation?”
Flower Snake nodded and said, “Alright! I’ll explain it to you!”
Then, he fiercely slapped Radley Ridge across the face!
Thwack!
Radley Ridge stumbled backward a few steps and fell to the ground.
“Are you fucking insane! Even hitting me! ”
Radley Ridge was completely dumbfounded.
What on earth had happened outside during the few minutes he was hiding in the washroom?
Subconsciously, Radley Ridge glanced at Julius Reed and noticed the latter was smiling.
“Hitting you?”
Flower Snake scoffed coldly, “Take care of him for me!”
No sooner had the words fallen than a quick encirclement followed, raining punches and kicks down on Radley Ridge. “Brother Snake, don’t accidentally kill someone!”
Declan Martin whispered a reminder.
So many people in the restaurant were watching; it was bound to have a significant impact.
But there was no helping it, he couldn’t afford to provoke Flower Snake, and could only stand there, watching helplessly as a customer was being beaten. “Flower Snake! You’re fucking mad, damn it!”
Radley Ridge shielded his head with his hands, lying on the floor screaming in pain.
The thugs were particularly heavy-handed, and in less than a minute he had been beaten black and blue.
“Enough! Don’t kill anyone!”
Julius Reed picked up his chopsticks and calmly took a bite of his food.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him with strange glances.
Would Flower Snake listen to him? Was this some kind of joke? “I don’t know him! If you want to fight, fight him, it has nothing to do with us!” Knox Ridge pulled Quella Radcliffe towards her, shaking like a leaf.
If Radley Ridge couldn’t avoid a brutal beating, she was now thoroughly frightened.
“Yeah! We don’t know him, it’s merely a coincidence that we’re sitting together.”
Burl Radcliffe also spoke up in explanation, his courage even smaller, and more afraid of trouble.
Meanwhile, Declan Martin carefully scrutinized Julius Reed, silently sweating for him.
Flower Snake was vicious. Speaking up at this time was just asking for trouble, wasn’t it?
But, against all odds, Flower Snake really did stop. Smiling, he walked over to Julius Reed and asked, “Bro, do you have any other business? If there’s nothing, I’ll take my leave first!”
Today, in order to redeem himself, he had not spared Radley Ridge.
“No need, just don’t fight and kill in front of me in the future; it can scare my wife and in-laws.”
Julius Reed, without even looking at Flower Snake, picked at the food on his plate.
“Yes! Big brother’s lesson is correct, I really didn’t know the big brother was here today…”
“It’s fine, today I didn’t see anything.”
Julius Reed had just raised his wine glass when Flower Snake immediately filled it for him.
Everyone was stunned.
The Flower Snake who was just arrogantly throwing his weight around was pouring wine for him? Who exactly was Julius Reed!
The mighty dragon does not suppress the local snakes!
Flower Snake was the bona fide local snake around here!
Yet upon hearing Julius Reed’s words, Flower Snake seemed relieved, not daring to say more and quickly left with his men.
Radley Ridge watched all this, his face turning deathly pale!
This Julius Reed, where was even the slightest hint of him being drunk? He’d been played!
Yet now, facing Julius Reed’s smiling face, Radley Ridge couldn’t muster a word for a long time!
“Mr. Radcliffe, let’s hurry back! ” Knox Ridge said in a low voice.
“Okay!”
Burl Radcliffe nodded, put on his clothes, and walked towards the exit.
The encounter with Flower Snake’s ruthless fists had left the old couple shaken to their core.
“Thanks for the drink, remember to settle the bill!”
After a few more bites of his meal, Julius Reed stood up, gave Radley Ridge a slight smile, took Quella Radcliffe by the hand, and walked out.
Watching the departing figures, Radley Ridge trembled with rage. After a while, his eyes finally showed a gleam of coldness! “Julius Reed… you just wait!”
“Don’t think knowing a few thugs makes you untouchable!”
“I’ll make you beg for life and plead for death!”
