“If you’re willing to believe, I can make even the Kaur family become the strongest aristocratic family in Shipmeda State, and even in all of Ostrad!” Flynn said seriously.
Madeline was stunned after hearing this and shook her head. “I understand your confidence,” she said.
“You want to join the company and become my right-hand man, fighting alongside me while believing that you can achieve anything with your fists.”
“But it’s not enough! Reality is harsh, and it’s already difficult enough to start from scratch. You need someone influential to support you.”
“Confidence is important, but if you ignore reality, then that’s just arrogance,” Madeline replied.
Flynn was about to say something else when they heard angry shouting coming from outside.
“Whose crappy Beetle is parked here? Move it!”
A woman wearing a purple dress who looked quite refined kicked Madeline’s Beetle car with one foot as she yelled at them.
There was a loud bang as the car door caved in under her kick.
“Excuse me miss, my car isn’t blocking yours or anything like that!” Madeline said angrily after seeing what had happened to her beloved vehicle.
The parking lot had plenty of spaces available for everyone. There was no reason for anyone else to get upset over where she parked her car.
“You’re blind!” The refined woman pointed at the Maserati next to the Beetle. “Can’t you see how close your crappy car is parked next mine?”
“I can’t even open my door now!”
Flynn glanced over at the Maserati and immediately understood what had happened: It wasn’t parked straight but slanted towards their side which made their cars too close together for comfort.
The refined woman couldn’t open her driver-side door fully because of this issue so she took out all of her frustration on Madeline’s poor little Beetle instead.
Moreover, it seemed like the owner of Maserati arrived first before Madeline did – so technically speaking – any fault lay solely on them for parking incorrectly.
“This beautiful lady, you didn’t park correctly. Therefore responsibility lies with you,” Flynn explained calmly while feeling slightly annoyed by everything going on around him.
“It’s you?” The refined woman recognized Flynn upon seeing him again and became even colder towards him than before.
Flynn raised an eyebrow, only just noticing that the sophisticated woman had been on the court, seated not far from them.
Moreover, she was the loudest screamer in the entire arena. When she witnessed Ismael being dominated, she even shed a few tears!
Madeline also recognized the sophisticated woman, her expression immediately tensing, and she smiled, saying, “Are you Miss Danna McGuire? I’ll move the car right away, sorry.”
Madeline sat next to the sophisticated woman and learned her identity through their conversation, feeling intimidated.
“She’s Frederick’s god-sister. Frederick is the son of the head of Niarak branch in Eight Extremities School. We can’t mess with them!”
Madeline pulled Flynn aside and opened the car door to move it. Danna looked coldly at them, crossing her arms, “No wonder you’re from a small family. I kicked a Volkswagen Beetle once and you felt bad about it!”
“I don’t know why the Pearce family invited someone like you over here, lowering the standard of this banquet like you’re begging for money!”
After hearing this, Madeline frowned and bit her lip hard before getting into the car.
“And who do you think you are?” Flynn looked at Danna coldly, “The god-sister of a branch leader acting so arrogantly? Something relying on others’ power!”
“What did you say?” Danna was furious when she heard that, “How dare you say I’m taking advantage of my connections? Do you believe me if I make Frederick come over here to kill you?”
“Kaur, does this dog not know what kind of existence Eight Extremities School is?” Her voice was loud enough to attract several rich second-generation men’s attention.
Upon seeing Flynn, they walked over with a grim expression.
Madeline, sensing Flynn might cause trouble again, quickly stepped out of the car and whispered, “The Eight Extremities School has branches in thirteen cities with tens of thousands of members. It’s the largest underground force in Shipmeda State and the strongest backing behind the Dragon Gate Group.”
“Frederick is also notorious for being unruly. You absolutely mustn’t provoke Miss McGuire again!”
A few wealthy second-generation individuals, now understanding the situation, were instantly angered.
“This damn bastard has caused enough trouble on the field already! Now he offends Miss Mcguire as well! He deserves punishment!”
“Miss Mcguire is Mr. Powell’s favorite sister. No one dares disrespect her like this! Getting on Ismael’s bad side is trouble enough. If you don’t want to end up in serious trouble, apologize to Miss McGuire right away!”
“That’s right! He must kneel down and apologize! Eight Extremities School is much stronger than the Cox family. It’s Shipmeda’s largest underground force. If he offended Miss Mcguire today but can’t satisfy her demands for an apology, then he won’t live past tonight!”
These rich second-generation men were all Ismael’s teammates who had planned on playing until dark before being disturbed by Flynn.
They were planning to leave and coincidentally witnessed the scene in the parking lot. Flynn, upon hearing this, thought for a moment and said, “Oh, so that’s how it is. I indeed misspoke earlier.”
“Heh, admitting your mistake is the right thing to do. Now, kneel down and apologize!” Danna sneered.
“This fool knows who he can mess with and who he can’t? Where’s the arrogance you displayed on the court? Show it now! Don’t be a coward!”
“Let me tell you, not only can’t you mess with the Eight Extremities School, but you also can’t mess with the Cox family. Kneel down and apologize, get through this, and then go to the Cox family tonight to make amends!”
Danna looked triumphant, crossing her arms with pride, “You messed with Mr. Cox on the court, and now you’re in trouble with me.”
“Today, not only do you have to kneel down and kowtow to me, but you also have to do the same for Mr. Cox!”
Although the Cox family had a few skilled individuals, their reputation didn’t match that of the Eight Extremities School. Danna believed Flynn didn’t know the true strength of the Cox family, so he dared to confront Ismael head-on.
The Eight Extremities School was renowned in Shipmeda State and well-known in the southern provinces. People in Niarak was especially familiar with it. Flynn, having heard of the terrifying strength of the Eight Extremities School, was cautious.
“No, no, no…” Flynn shook his head, “What I meant was, the phrase ‘relying on others’ power’ is incorrect. It should be ‘relying on each other’s power’!”
“Huh? Didn’t understand? Alright, let me repeat it.”
He took a step forward, facing Danna’s eyes indifferently, and said, “The spoiled brat of the gang leader’s sister acting arrogantly? Trash relying on a trash alliance!”
Danna was shocked, took two steps back, and pointed at Flynn, “Rogue! Ignorant fool! You deserve to die! If you dare say such things about Frederick, a mere apology won’t solve it!”
Hearing Flynn indirectly calling Frederick Powell a “trash,” the onlookers shuddered in fear.
“This guy is done for. Offending the Cox family and getting on the bad side of the Eight Extremities School, he’s in for a terrible fate!”
“Well, words spoken can’t be taken back. Regret is useless now. The only thing you can do is appease Miss McGuire and pray she doesn’t tell Mr. Powell about today’s events. Otherwise, no one can save you!”
Flynn raised an eyebrow, looking at Danna, and asked, “According to them, did I offend you?”
Danna replied coldly, “Yes, I’m really annoyed right now. Extremely annoyed.”
“Do as they say today and kneel down to cut off your tongue.”
“Otherwise, I’ll let you experience the torture techniques of the Eight Extremities School!”
“You’re not happy?” Flynn raised an eyebrow and sneered. “Great, I love seeing people like you unhappy!”
After he finished speaking, he kicked the Maserati’s window!
Bang!
The sound of an explosion rang out as a huge spider web crack appeared on the front windshield!
