Seeing that their show of force intimidated the four individuals from the so-called big cities, Mignon sneered, “The situation is clear now. You hit this elderly person with your car and then act recklessly on my turf. Since you don’t want to kneel, don’t blame my men for being ruthless.”
After speaking, Mignon raised his right hand, preparing to slap Jessica again.
This time, Leo intervened before Mignon could strike Jessica. Despite Leo’s disapproval of Jessica’s behavior, he couldn’t tolerate someone assaulting her repeatedly, especially in front of Sophia.
Leo grabbed Mignon’s wrist, pushed with force, nearly toppling Mignon to the ground. “You’ve acted enough. Getting too immersed in this act will come at a cost.”
Unexpectedly, Mignon responded with affected laughter, “Brothers, did you hear that? This guy claims we’re acting and even threatened me, saying there would be consequences. Do you think this guy has a severe IQ deficiency?”
Mignon’s henchmen, after Mignon’s words, laughed recklessly, following his lead.
“Kid, you’re from out of town, so you might not know me, Mignon. It’s not your fault. But daring to threaten Mignon is where you went wrong.”
“Let me tell you, in Green Spring, provoking Mignon is no different from provoking the King of Hell. There’s no essential difference.”
“Kid, I advise you to quickly kneel and lick Mignon’s shoes; otherwise, you won’t even have a chance to beg for mercy later.”
Leo ignored the taunts of these hoodlums and approached the elderly man lying on the ground. He reached down, lifted the man, and took him to the car door.
Beside the car, Leo grabbed a bottle of mineral water, opened it, and poured it over the supposedly bloody “wound” on the old man’s body.
Soon, the so-called fresh blood on the old man’s wound was washed away by the water, revealing unharmed skin.
This scene left the onlookers dumbfounded. It turned out this old man was just a scam artist!
“You scam artists are unprofessional. Next time you try to scam, remember to break your own legs first. It will make it more realistic.”
Seeing their trick exposed, the old man’s eyes rolled, and he quickly got up from the ground, running away.
The speed at which he fled didn’t match that of a typical sixty-year-old man.
Now, the expressions on the faces of the onlookers were somewhat embarrassed because they had verbally supported the scam artist earlier.
“This old man is shameless, no moral bottom line. He’s agile and good at acting like he’s been hit. Truly embarrassing for us in Green Spring!”
“Alas, we just supported him a moment ago. Turns out, he’s a scam artist. He’s brought shame to us Green Spring residents!”
“Although that old man was indeed a scam artist, Mignon has intervened now. I think these four outsiders are in big trouble.”
Amidst the discussions of the onlookers, Mignon suddenly applauded, then, affecting an exaggerated tone, said, “Kid, even though the old man was indeed a scam artist, that’s not important. What matters is that you’ve successfully angered me. So, I’m going to let you taste the consequences.”
Leo didn’t want to dirty his hands with trash like Mignon. Still, these kinds of scum always seemed to enjoy rubbing their fists against his face, making Leo quite helpless.
“Mignon, this man not only refuses to respect you but dares to look at you with that contemptuous gaze!”
“Even the distinguished Mignon from Green Spring is not taken seriously. It’s too arrogant. We must teach this kid a lesson on how to be a person!”
“Mignon, let me teach this guy a lesson for you!”
Mignon’s henchmen began shouting, eager to immediately take Leo down.
However, Mignon didn’t rush to let his men deal with Leo. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Sophia.
The clamor of Mignon’s henchmen quickly ceased as their eyes fell on Sophia. Uncontrollably, a lecherous expression appeared on their faces.
“This woman is too beautiful. Someone once told me that women from big cities are more beautiful than our Green Spring women. I didn’t believe it, but now I do.”
“Mignon, this beautiful girl should be this bastard’s wife-a married woman… tsk, tsk…”
“Mignon, I think it’s essential for us to invite this beauty to a hotel for some rest. After you handle her husband, we can have a good talk about life.”
The street ruffians spoke vulgar words, one after another, without restraint.
Thinking that his men made sense, Mignon temporarily withdrew his greedy gaze from Sophia and stared at Leo, saying, “Kid, I’m usually reasonable and easy to talk to. How about this? Let your wife and me go to a hotel to get acquainted. I’ll forget everything that happened today. How does that sound?”
Seeing Leo just coldly staring at him without saying anything, Mignon assumed he had agreed. With a wave of his hand, Mignon ordered, “Brothers, what are you waiting for? Hurry and invite this beautiful woman to my BMW. Tonight, I want to have a good exchange with this beautiful lady.”
As Mignon finished speaking, two thugs approached, ready to pull Sophia away.
“If anyone dares to touch my wife, you’re dead!” Leo’s chilling words echoed as if they came from the depths of hell.
The two thugs, intending to drag Sophia, suddenly stopped simultaneously. Leo’s words gave them a spine-chilling feeling.
Even Mignon, the seasoned bully, couldn’t help but tense up for a moment.
However, this ominous feeling was short-lived. Mignon suddenly burst into laughter, “Kid, you’re quite good at bluffing. Do you think I grew up scared?”
Mignon’s surrounding thugs joined in the laughter.
“Mignon, I suddenly realize this kid is a master at pretending. I’ve grown up, and there aren’t many like him who can pretend this well.”
“Daring to show off in front of our Mignon, this kid is definitely tired of living.”
As Mignon halted his laughter, he impatiently snorted, “Enough of your bullshit. Hurry up and take the beauty to the car. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold pieces. Do you understand?”
With Mignon’s words, one of the thugs, who had intended to attack Leo, continued to approach Sophia. The other, planning to knock Leo down first, threw a punch at Leo’s face.
The next second, something unexpected happened to everyone.
The thug who attacked Leo suddenly screamed, his body flying backward, landing heavily on the ground. In the dust that rose from the impact, he looked like a dead dog.
The other thug, attempting to grab Sophia, similarly let out an inexplicable scream, flew backward, and upon landing, remained motionless.
