“Conflicts?” Brantley furrowed his brow.
Everyone else froze.
Scarlet looked at Flynn, who seemed indifferent, and smiled slightly. “Yes, there was some unpleasantness a while ago, but in the end…”
“What?”
Scarlet didn’t finish her sentence before Brantley interrupted with a shocked expression. “Flynn offended Mr. Roy?”
“Flynn, I have to say something to you. You know that Mr. Roy is worth billions of dollars. How could you offend him?”
Flynn was taken aback and asked in return, “Can’t you offend someone just because they’re rich?”
“That’s not what I meant… With so much money at stake, do you think there will be good consequences if you offend him? You’ll probably have to run away after offending him!”
Brian shook his head and asked Brantley, “Will Mr. Roy come over here after he finishes talking business with Mr. Holmes later on?”
Brantley nodded and said with a dark face, “Flynn, our boss may come over here soon; hurry up and leave.”
“If he catches you here, your fate will be miserable!”
“I don’t want to be implicated by your actions either!”
“Miserable fate? Flynn’s face turned cold as he became displeased, “You need to get this straight – who offended whom!”
“Even if he offends you?” Seeing Flynn’s attitude now made Brantley even more unhappy as he sternly stated, “You are just an ordinary person; how can you fight against him? After being offended by someone like that, one should smile instead of fighting back!”
Brian also had a disdainful expression as he sneered, “You couldn’t change your troublemaking ways back in school, and I thought you would’ve learned your lesson. Turns out, you’re still the same after serving time in prison. Always getting into fights!”
“People like Mr. Roy have money and power, and all you can do is endure it. If you anger Mr. Roy, you’ll end up dead!”
“Dead?” Flynn laughed, tilted his head, and looked at Brian. “If I hit him, then how is he still alive?”
Upon hearing this, the whole room was shocked. They thought Flynn had only had a verbal conflict with Justice, but they didn’t expect there had been a physical altercation too!
Brantley was even more shocked, taking a sharp breath as he realized, “No wonder Mr. Roy had a swollen face a few days ago and was cursing in his office. So you were the one who hit him!”
“Mr. Roy was really furious that day. If he caught you, he would have definitely broken your legs!”
“You better leave now!”
“Cursing in his office?” Flynn narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, “He might act submissive with his words, but deep down, he still holds a grudge, huh?”
“It seems like his face doesn’t hurt that much after all!”
That’s how people are. If they don’t have genuine fear, they will still grumble behind your back.
Justice was that kind of person.
Flynn didn’t know that Justice vented his anger and frustration in his office.
Scarlet couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Brantley, you’re pushing Justice into a pit of fire!
If Justice came over and asked Flynn about this incident, his position would be in jeopardy too.
“Childish!” Brian scolded angrily, his voice cold. “How can you just bully a big boss like that?”
“He might seem submissive because he can’t beat you, but he will definitely seek revenge afterward!”
Flynn shrugged, uninterested in their words, and didn’t bother arguing with them.
His classmates also showed concern and advised him one after another.
“Flynn, you should lay low. Mr. Roy has a fiery temper, and if he catches you, you’re done for!”
“Yes, a wise person avoids unnecessary trouble. Don’t show off your strength.”
“As ordinary people, we can’t defeat the privileged. Learn to be more cautious in the future. Fists won’t solve problems!”
Seeing Flynn’s indifferent expression, Brantley became even more furious. “Mr. Roy has a wide network, and he can even talk to Mr. Kennedy.”
“Even though he lost the support of Luca, he won’t let anyone who tries to cause trouble in Niarak get away.”
“If you don’t want to die, you’d better run and leave Niarak as soon as possible.”
Flynn chuckled and dismissed it, saying, “Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know what happened back then.”
“Justice? He’s nothing more than an ant!”
“And by the way, I killed Luca too!”
After finishing his words, Flynn stared directly into Brantley’s eyes and disdainfully asked, “Now, tell me, who should really be running away?”
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
“Flynn, you think being in the right gives you the freedom to do anything, but that’s not how it works. It doesn’t matter who provoked whom or what happened back then. What matters is that you shouldn’t have confronted him head-on!”
“My goodness! Have you been traumatized in prison? How dare you use Luca’s death to your advantage!”
“The Johnston family claimed Luca died in a car accident. How could it be that you killed him?”
All of Flynn’s classmates shook their heads. They had initially sympathized with Flynn, but now they felt he was too arrogant.
He must have spent too long in prison, disconnected from society.
In prison, might made right.
But that was not how it worked outside!
If you throw a punch at someone, you’ll attract thousands of punches in return!
“The Johnston family claimed it was an accident?” Flynn paused for a moment upon hearing this, but then quickly understood.
No wonder Lilia was investigating the killer. The Johnston family feared my martial arts skills and didn’t dare admit that I killed Luca!
Brantley saw the expression on Flynn’s face and couldn’t help but sneer, “Haha, you’ve been exposed. We’re all classmates here, why pretend to be something you’re not in front of us?”
“How dare you tell such lies about killing Luca? Do you think we don’t know what you’re capable of?”
Brian sneered, “He was like this in school too. When Damian teamed up with seven or eight people to beat him up, he still stubbornly fought back.”
“Now he’s almost thirty and still doesn’t understand the consequences. He’s like a scorpion, stinging anyone who provokes him! No hope!”
“In school, you suffered from Damian’s punches all over your face. In society, Justice will come after your life!”
“The consequences you faced with Damian will be multiplied by a hundred with Justice!”
Flynn smiled but didn’t laugh, saying, “Whether I have hope or not doesn’t require your concern. Why waste your breath?”
Brantley, seeing Flynn’s indifferent attitude, became increasingly angry and said, with a darkening face, “Others can’t even get close to Mr. Roy, yet you dare to hit him. There’s no hope for you, ever.”
“Hmph! No wonder you ended up in prison. It seems you lack common sense!”
“Leave immediately and don’t involve anyone else!”
Upon hearing this, Flynn’s expression suddenly turned grim. He stared straight at Brantley and said coldly, “Today is Odin’s wedding. Why should I leave? If Justice wants to come, then let him come!”
Scarlet also shook her head and said to Brantley, “You don’t have to worry about getting involved because Justice wouldn’t dare do anything to him.”
“But you, you better apologize to Flynn quickly. Otherwise, if Flynn asks Justice about what happened in his office, you’re done for!”
This statement caused a commotion among those present.
Mr. Roy is coming? And Flynn wants to talk to him?
Has Flynn gone mad?
And this girl is clueless?
Instead of advising Brantley to speak up for Flynn, she wants him to apologize to Flynn?
The classmates witnessed this scene and knew that Flynn was stubborn. Once he set his mind on something, no amount of persuasion would change it, so they didn’t bother trying.
Brian sneered and sneered.
He tried to convince Flynn to leave, but this guy didn’t appreciate it.
Fine! I’d love for you to stay!
When Justice smashes your face, it’ll be like avenging the betrayal from all those years ago!
It would be even better if he breaks your legs because you ran to the principal’s office to complain about me!
