This remark left Gerald momentarily stunned. Then he pointed at Leo, sneering in disdain and chuckled, “Did you hear what he said just now?”
“He said you should kneel and apologize to him,” someone in the crowd jeered.
Gerald scanned the room and asked, “Do you think that’s possible?”
“Impossible!” echoed his cronies in unison.
“Bastard, I’ve changed my mind now. I not only want your woman, but I also want you to kneel down and beg me to let you leave this restaurant!” Gerald’s expression suddenly turned menacing.
He had snapped many women from other men before, but this was the first time someone had asked him to kneel.
At this point, the restaurant manager hadn’t shown up, which wasn’t surprising since the restaurant was under Gerald’s company management.
In this restaurant, he was the boss!
Seeing Leo looking at him like he was a clown, Gerald’s anger flared up, and he reached out to slap Leo’s face.
But before his hand could touch Leo’s hair, his wrist was suddenly caught, and he felt a tremendous force pulling him forward, followed by excruciating pain spreading through every cell of his body.
“Ah!!!” Gerald let out a scream that could rival a pig being slaughtered.
Among the onlookers, some ladies couldn’t help but scream.
Gerald’s right hand had a dining knife stuck in the table, and blood kept dripping to the floor from the edge of the table.
Sophia was taken aback by this scene. Leo’s actions of grabbing Gerald’s hand, slapping the table, and taking out the knife were seamless and caught Sophia’s eye.
This guy, when it comes to teaching a lesson, is ruthless!
Sophia found herself not only unoffended but also experiencing a different feeling. She couldn’t understand the man she had been married to for four years. He was not only good at enduring mockery, but he was also showing his masculinity now!
The spectators were frightened by Leo’s fierceness, and hearing Gerald’s screams made them even more nervous.
“You, come here,” Leo pointed to the waiter who had served them earlier.
The waiter now looked at Leo as if he had seen a devil and nervously approached him.
“I-I’m sorry,” the waiter pleaded.
“Don’t say it to me, kneel in front of her and apologize!” Leo pointed to Sophia.
The waiter looked at Sophia and insincerely said, “I’m sorry!”
“Kneel and say it!”
The waiter hesitated.
Leo took another dining knife from the table.
The waiter immediately knelt down on the ground, “I’m sorry, ma’am, I was wrong!”
Only then did Leo put down the dining knife and removed the one stabbed into Gerald’s hand.
Gerald screamed again and sat on the ground, holding his bloody right hand, yelling, “You bastard, do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!”
“I don’t know,” Leo replied truthfully.
“You’re dead, little brat! I will kill you!” Gerald threatened.
“Oh, really?” Leo’s expression was indifferent. He asked, “The restaurant’s advertisement in the lower right corner has a symbol of a blue cloud, which means this restaurant belongs to the Azure Cloud Group, right?”
“What are you trying to say?” Gerald endured the pain and took out his phone from his pocket. He believed that with just one call, Leo would have to leave this place lying down.
Leo took out a black card from his pocket and handed it to Gerald, “Do you know what this is?”
“You’re trying to compensate with money? I won’t accept it if you don’t…”
Before Gerald could finish speaking, he stopped abruptly, staring fixedly at the card in Leo’s hand.
The five-clawed golden dragon was deeply imprinted in Gerald’s pupils.
This was… the Supreme Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Card?
“It’s fake, it must be fake!” Gerald refused to believe it.
“You better take another look.”
Gerald snatched the card from Leo’s hand with his left hand and carefully inspected it. For a moment, he forgot about the pain in his right hand.
Soon, cold sweat appeared on Gerald’s forehead. He knew he was in trouble.
“What’s your name?” Gerald’s voice trembled.
“Leo Bloomer!”
Gerald tremblingly dialed a number on his phone.
“Is this the General Affairs Department? Please help me check some information. The card number is ZZ88075. I need to know the cardholder’s name.”
On the other end of the phone, the information was quickly provided.
After hearing the name, Gerald immediately handed the card back to Leo, forgetting even to pick up his phone that had fallen to the ground.
Gerald’s cold sweat soaked his back, and to everyone’s surprise, an unexpected scene unfolded.
Gerald actually endured the pain and knelt before Leo, apologizing profusely, “Mr. Bloomer, I’m sorry. I offended you and your companion. I sincerely apologize and beg for your forgiveness.”
This scene left everyone astonished, especially the two men and one woman who had come here with Gerald. They deeply suspected that Gerald might have taken the wrong medicine today or that something had gone wrong in his head.
The wealthy and powerful Master Donne was actually kneeling and apologizing to a stranger. This was something they could never have imagined before.
Who was this young man? What was his background?
Seeing Leo’s silence and cold gaze, Gerald’s heart sank. He couldn’t bear it and began to slap his own face with his uninjured hand, apologizing, “Mr. Bloomer, I was wrong.”
Gerald was well aware that if Leo made that phone call using the number on the card and reported his actions today, he would not only lose everything he had gained but also risk having his hand chopped off.
Offending someone with the prestigious Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Card would undoubtedly lead to horrifying consequences. Gerald had personally witnessed such punishment being meted out before.
Meanwhile, the waiter who had earlier knelt down and apologized like him didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the situation.
Perhaps they should blame this world for being too strange.
“You said earlier that you were interested in my woman,” Leo said.
Gerald immediately turned his kneeling posture towards Sophia, tears and snot streaming down as he pleaded, “Madame, I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
“It’s enough, Leo.” Sophia was ultimately a woman with a soft heart. She pulled Leo’s sleeve.
“Mr. Donne, I heard you were stabbed by a customer. Don’t worry; I’ve already called the police!” The restaurant manager rushed over at this moment. He had just taken over this restaurant and had been in the kitchen when he saw someone hurting Gerald’s hand, so he immediately called the police.
Gerald struggled to stand up, kicked the restaurant manager to the ground, and said, “Damn you and your police!”
