In the afternoon of the same day, after having their meal, the two of them, along with little Nora, arrived in front of a building in the downtown area without any delay.
On the facade of the building, the words “Marblightning Group” were prominently displayed, giving it a grand appearance. However, as soon as the three of them reached the entrance, they were stopped by the security guard.
The security guard glanced at the three of them and furrowed his brow, saying, “What do you want? Just barging in like that?”
Lachlan remained calm and said, “I’m here to see your Chairman, Flynn!”
“See our Chairman? What’s your name? Do you have an appointment?”
“I haven’t seen you before.”
The security guard expressed doubt and had no intention of letting them in until Lachlan’s identity was confirmed.
“As long as you inform him that Lachlan Willis from Edoland is here to see him, he will know,” Lachlan said calmly.
Upon seeing his demeanor, the security guard raised an eyebrow and began to suspect.
He could sense Lachlan’s composure!
Although the man and woman, along with the child, were dressed very ordinary, even a bit strange (just coming out of the Broken Pulse Sect), maybe they really knew the Chairman?
While the security guard hesitated, a figure walked out from inside the company. Seeing a group of people gathered at the entrance, he immediately furrowed his brow and coldly asked, “What’s going on?”
“Mr. Hester, it’s like this!” Upon hearing his questioning, the security guard was startled and quickly approached the manager, saying, “This person says he’s here to see the Chairman. I tried to drive him away, but his attitude was very firm.”
“So I thought… should we inform him?”
Slap!
Hearing the security guard’s words, the manager didn’t say a word and slapped him directly across the face.
On the shoe-shaped face, there was an arrogant and domineering expression, filled with a sense of superiority.
“What the hell are you wasting your time for? How could these few people possibly know the Chairman?”
“Can’t you see what kind of nobodies they are? Do they think they’re shooting a period drama?”
“I really don’t know what’s going on in your mind, you damn watchdog! I’ll give you three minutes to get them out of here!”
“Otherwise, I’ll have your captain skin you alive, you damn idiot!”
After the manager finished speaking, he looked at Lachlan and the others with disdain, snorted, and prepared to bypass them.
But at that moment, Lachlan frowned and directly blocked the manager who was about to pass.
“I think the security guard was just doing his job well. Why did you hit him?”
“Apologize!”
The security guard, in the end, clearly wanted to help with the notification.
At this moment, seeing that the security guard was slapped by Cash Hester just for speaking up for him, Lachlan felt a sense of injustice.
Moreover, Cash’s contemptuous attitude and repeatedly calling them nobodies made Lachlan extremely annoyed!
“Hmph! You’re ugly, and you’re a bad guy!”
Nora pouted beside them, her little face filled with anger.
Cash was momentarily stunned, pointing at Nora and shouting at Lachlan, “Damn it, what did this brat say? You, you poor bastard, you better control this brat’s mouth, or I’ll educate her for you.”
“And another thing, those who know their place should get lost! Don’t you dare meddle in other people’s business!”
“I apologize, damn it!”
“He’s just a watchdog, I hit him, so what?”
“If you don’t leave right now, do you believe I’ll hit you too?”
Cash’s words were filled with disdain and rudeness.
The security guard’s face turned red, and he stood there with his head lowered, not saying a word.
Being called a watchdog repeatedly made him feel deeply ashamed.
But working at Marblightning Group had good benefits, and he didn’t have any special skills. If he offended Cash, he might even lose his job.
Cash held considerable power within the company, and it was said that he had connections with the general manager. This made him extremely arrogant within the company, often resorting to physical violence and verbal abuse towards the employees, let alone a mere security guard like himself.
Just a slap on the face was nothing. The security guard remembered the last time when an employee confronted Cash and not only was he publicly beaten until he spat blood, but he was also immediately fired. And afterwards, Cash faced no consequences!
To make a living, the security guard dared not speak up despite his anger.
At this moment, Cash once again pointed at the security guard and arrogantly commanded, “These three people! I don’t care what methods you use, but today, they are not allowed to set foot inside the company!”
“If I see them entering the company, you can just get lost!”
After speaking, Cash turned back to Lachlan, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
“How about it? Not only will I not apologize, but I won’t let you enter the company either! What can you do to me?”
“Do you have the guts to hit me?”
Slap!
As soon as Cash’s voice fell, Lachlan suddenly and unexpectedly slapped him across the face. A bright red palm print appeared on his face.
“Hit you? I’ve never seen such a despicable request!”
“Today, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
After Lachlan’s voice fell, he grabbed Cash’s hair again, lifting his face up.
And then, he began slapping Cash’s face repeatedly.
Of course, Lachlan definitely held back his strength; otherwise, a single slap might have caused Cash’s head to explode…
“Why the hell are you still standing there? Hurry up and fight back!”
“Damn it! This is unbelievable! I’m being bullied in the company!”
As Cash angrily roared, the security guard on the side also reacted and instinctively raised his baton to strike Lachlan.
However, just as the baton was about to hit Lachlan, the security guard suddenly stopped and sighed, saying to Lachlan, “Young man, stop it quickly!”
“You’ve caused a big trouble! I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape this time! Although it was satisfying to see you beat that scumbag!”
“But the consequences will be severe!”
Upon hearing the security guard’s words, Lachlan immediately understood that Cash was an unruly person in his daily life.
Even if he managed to stop Lachlan, his job wouldn’t be secure because of Cash’s beating, and the security guard himself was well aware of this.
The security guard’s words made Cash’s face show a hint of anger, and he pointed at him furiously, shouting, “What did this watchdog say?”
“You’re simply asking for death! If I can’t handle this guy, can’t I handle you?”
“Just you wait and see what I’ll do to you afterwards!”
Cash’s threatening words made the security guard’s face instantly turn red, and he spoke fiercely, “You…! It’s fine if you scold me on ordinary days!”
“But did I do anything wrong today? Who gave you the right to slap me? When they came, they just wanted to see the Chairman, and I only said I would notify him. Why did you hit me?”
“I… I quit!”
After the security guard finished speaking, he threw his cap to the ground and glared fiercely at Cash.
Seeing this scene, Lachlan momentarily stopped and turned to the security guard with a light smile, saying, “Bro, would you like to come and hit a few times to let off some steam?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for any consequences!”
