“Jester?”
“That’s a low blow!”
The faces of the crowd changed drastically.
“We earn billions of dollars a year, and wherever we go, we’re met with thunderous applause. And you? I heard you’re just an in-law of the Kaur family, a worthless piece of trash who just got out of prison. Do you have the right to criticize us?”
“You talk nicely to your wife but come up here and insult us by calling us jesters? Don’t blame us for not giving you a chance. Today Madeline not only has to issue an apology statement, but you also have to kneel down and kowtow to us!”
“Just let the bodyguards beat him up and throw him out. It’s an insult to even talk to this kind of garbage!”
After hearing this, the bodyguard turned around, clenched his fist tightly with cracking knuckles.
Madeline’s face also showed anger.
She came alone because she was afraid that Flynn would speak without thinking.
But Flynn still came anyway.
He acted like he wasn’t afraid at all!
“Step back!”
Estella lightly scolded as her gaze fell on Flynn.
She hadn’t said much since entering Lilylake Estate until now.
She had been listening attentively throughout the whole ordeal.
Someone like Estella only needed to inform the Hussain family of the situation and wait for the results.
She didn’t even consider a third-rate family like theirs, let alone waste her breath on them in Niarak.
But she just finished filming a movie and wanted to relax, so she brought along some female stars from Asco Entertainment for a little fun. It was just an invitation to play.
Estella didn’t even think twice about it.
Flynn acted impulsively, thinking that once he got rid of the head of the Hussain family, he would come crawling back begging for forgiveness.
But this guy was stubborn. He won’t back down even when faced with pressure from the head of their family. He was all bark and no bite!
It had been a day already, but he still didn’t realize how serious this was.
“He’s just an envious hater who can only vent his frustration by mouthing off.”
“Do we really need to get so worked up over someone like him? Are we not afraid of losing face? Don’t forget our status!”
Estella lectured everyone with her bossy attitude. There were plenty more people like him online – unhappy with their own lives and lacking any real talent. They saw the celebrities living glamorous lives and earning millions through endorsements, which made them feel unbalanced. When they saw celebrities bullying their wives or girlfriends, they exploded in anger. But when push came to shove, they were nothing but cowards who can only scream helplessly until they were backed into a corner.
Just like honey badgers – fearless creatures that dare provoke lions until their spines are bitten off – eventually learning their lesson after experiencing pain firsthand!
Flynn was the honey badger, and it was only a matter of time before he lowered his head.
“Young man, I forgive your rudeness, but you should know that talking big without any real skills won’t get you anywhere. Otherwise, no matter how much you shout, in the end you’ll be crushed.”
Estella took a sip of red wine and spoke calmly.
Flynn walked slowly into the hall and saw tears on Madeline’s face. His expression remained unchanged as he pulled out a chair and sat down with his back against it.
“What? Has your anger subsided now that you understand the stakes? Do you want to sit down and talk?”
Estella took out a lady’s cigarette while Alexander quickly lit it for her. Then Flynn extinguished the flame fiercely.
“You must have heard that I am friends with the Hussain family main leader. I don’t need to introduce their strength to anyone from Niarak like yourself.”
“Now, there is only one choice for you: immediately issue an apology statement along with a video where every word is read aloud while kneeling down for ten slaps.”
“Otherwise, the Kaur family will be overturned overnight and leave you permanently disabled.” Estella looked at Flynn confidently as she flicked off some ash from her cigarette.
Perhaps Flynn had spoken those words earlier because he was angry about his wife being bullied. However, as someone who married into a small family like theirs who may not even be respected by the Kaur family themselves – faced with such overwhelming threats from the Hussain Family – he had no choice but to bow his head in submission.
“Permanently disabled? Hmm… let me think…” Flynn sat up straight and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
“Haha, still scared! You’re a dog, not cutting off your own hands is already a great kindness from Estella. If it were up to us, we’d make you crawl out at least!”
“Why is Estella so good to him? He’s just a little worm. Breaking his limbs is the only thing he deserves!”
“Kid, you better bow down and thank Estella! Remember, your miserable life was given by her!”
Alexander didn’t feel good after hearing this. He wanted to break Flynn’s arms to calm his anger but since the top star of Asco Entertainment said so, he couldn’t argue. He stood in front of Flynn with a stern face and said, “You’re lucky today that Estella gave you another chance at life.”
“When you kneel down later don’t dodge or else that slap won’t count!” He turned the huge diamond ring on his hand over and revealed a cruel smile on his face.
The diamond ring was harder than steel; if it hit Flynn’s face, bones would be visible for sure.
After ten slaps from Alexander’s hand there wouldn’t be much flesh left on Flynn’s face; it would be worse than breaking both of his arms!
Thinking about this made Alexander lean in close to Flynn and say with a smile, “Don’t think that getting through today means everything will be fine. After this matter settles down I’ll come visit.”
“I’ll take care of Madeline too! Make her gush like crazy while filming it all for my enjoyment!”
“This is what happens when you mess with me!”
Bang!
Flynn stood up suddenly and threw out a punch.
Alexander was caught off guard and flew five or six meters, crashing heavily into the wall before falling to the ground in a daze. The crowd was stunned.
Flynn looked at Alexander’s wailing figure and pointed at Estella with a cold expression. “That woman is over fifty years old, older than your mother. You call her ‘sister’, what should she call you? ‘Son’?”
Turning to the crowd impatiently, he said, “I’m trying to give you guys some options here, but you’re all squawking like a bunch of ducks.”
“Do you want to lay eggs or make noise? You’re giving me a headache!”
Flynn’s gaze fell on Estella as he spoke indifferently.
“Here’s what we’ll do. Old thing, I’ll break another one of Alexander’s arms and three legs. Then all you chickens will kneel in front of Madeline and apologize.”
“Otherwise… I’ll break Alexander’s spine so that he can’t even go to the bathroom.”
“As for the rest of you… you can walk away with faces that have been slapped out of place!”
