As Flynn let go, Neymar screamed in agony, rolling on the ground with blood all over his face and crying out in pain.
Scarlet looked at the two teeth scattered on the table and Neymar’s bloody face, her mouth twisted but not afraid – even feeling a bit satisfied.
Flynn watched as Neymar writhed on the ground with regret in his voice, “I told you, if you want to smoke good cigarettes, just sign the papers obediently. Why didn’t you listen?”
“Now it’s too late. You can’t even drink water without pain for a month.”
At that moment, many employees were attracted by Neymar’s screams. They saw him covered in blood with missing teeth and couldn’t help but gasp, “What happened? Did someone beat up Mr. Riggs?”
“I’ve been working with Mr. Riggs for over ten years; I haven’t even seen anyone swear in front of him!”
“These two are from Orco Real Estate. If they dare to hit Mr. Riggs, I’m afraid they won’t obtain the certificate, and the company won’t be able to continue!”
Neymar quickly stood up, covering his face with one hand and pointing at Flynn while cursing, “You bastard, your life is over! Just wait, I’ll make sure you have no place to be buried!”
“Still speaking so smoothly, it seems like your mouth isn’t hurting!” Flynn said with indifference, grabbing Neymar by the collar and lifting him up.
Neymar, weighing 170 pounds, was squeezed in Flynn’s hand like a rag doll, his nose bleeding profusely, contorting his face in pain.
“No place to be buried, huh?”
Flynn slapped Neymar’s face, causing him dizzy.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Didn’t this guy realize how big of a deal this was?
Breaking a high-ranking official’s nose and knocking out teeth was one thing, but now he was lifting him up to continue the beating?
They had seen thugs before, but never such a fearless one. He was playing with his own life!
“You want a house and a Bentley, right?”
Flynn slapped Neymar again.
Neymar howled in agony, his facial muscles twitching from the pain, blood gushing from his mouth.
Flynn wanted to continue, but his phone rang.
“Callie?”
Flynn paused for a moment, then tossed Neymar aside and answered the call.
“Mr. Clark, are you available today? I want to treat you to a meal. Last time, our meal didn’t end well, and I wanted to invite you alone.”
Callie’s gentle voice came through the phone, carrying a hint of anticipation.
“Um… well…” Flynn awkwardly smiled.
He suddenly remembered that he had promised Callie a meal, but thinking back to their parting last time and Callie’s gentle and passionate confession, he felt a bit hesitant.
Most importantly, he didn’t really have any feelings for Callie!
Callie sensed Flynn’s dilemma and said disappointedly, “Mr. Clark, you promised me. I’ve already reserved a seat.”
Upon hearing this, Flynn was even more unsure of how to reply.
What if Callie brought up her feelings again? How should he respond?
Regardless of whether Flynn was on the phone or not, the officials at the scene were furious to see their director being beaten.
“Young man, you have repeatedly assaulted a public official. You can’t escape a ten-year sentence!”
“Ten years? He’s been using deadly force every time. This isn’t just assault, it’s intentional murder. He should be executed!”
“Mr. Riggs represents the government. This brat is challenging the dignity of our nation, with a heinous crime. He must be severely punished as a deterrent!”
The crowd, witnessing Flynn’s arrogance and his smiling phone call, clearly didn’t take the beating of Neymar seriously. They all shouted angrily.
They couldn’t believe that Neymar, who usually had the upper hand, was now beaten to the point of not even recognizing his own mother.
This was not only a challenge to Neymar’s authority but also a slap in the face of everyone at the Resource Bureau.
After all, the Resource Bureau was a place where wealthy businessmen tried to curry favor. They had gained many benefits and face from it.
Now, Flynn disregarded their warnings, repeatedly provoking them, and was essentially slapping them in the face.
“Mr. Clark, why is there chaos over there? Did something happen?” Callie asked with great concern.
Flynn smiled and said, “It’s nothing, just taking care of their director at the Resource Bureau. How about this, you suggest a place, and I’ll come over after I finish.”
“Mr. Riggs?” Callie was taken aback for a moment and said angrily, “Did he offend you? I’m near the Resource Bureau, I’ll come and help you teach him a lesson!”
“No need, it’s just a minor issue. You… hmm? She hung up?” Flynn was in the middle of speaking when Callie abruptly ended the call.
Flynn was initially stunned, then he touched his nose.
In his impression, Callie was a well-behaved girl who never actively stirred up trouble. Why did she suddenly show such strong assertiveness today?
“A public official?” Scarlet looked disdainful, her voice cold. “Playing cards during work hours, neglecting official duties, and not doing anything substantial for the people. You don’t look like public officials at all!”
This statement ignited the anger of the crowd, and they all started cursing.
“Nonsense! Where did you see us playing cards? You damn woman, I warn you not to speak nonsense!”
“Bribery? Show us the evidence, damn it! You’re just spreading rumors with your mouth open!”
“It’s useless to splash dirty water on us. What’s true is that you attacked Mr. Riggs. We’ve already reported it, so get ready to have your dirty laundry exposed!”
“Mr. Riggs took time out of his busy schedule to help deal with the problem, and you’re smearing us for not doing anything, beating him up like this. You troublemakers!” Tia also had a furious expression on her face as she scolded while tending to Neymar’s bleeding.
“Ouch! Can’t you be more gentle, damn it! Get lost!” Neymar was hurt by the female staff member, pushing her away and gritting his teeth:
“Whether it’s a smear or the truth, it doesn’t affect me in any way!”
“Even if I’m involved in bribery, what can you two do?”
“If you want to start a company, then curry favor properly. Orco Real Estate owns a piece of land worth five billion. I just want a few million as compensation for my hard work. Is that too much?”
Flynn frowned slightly.
Corrupt officials who demand bribes were everywhere throughout history, but someone as brazen as Neymar was the first he had encountered.
Where did this trash get his confidence?
“Who wouldn’t say that? It’s so profitable to befriend Mr. Riggs for a mere few million. These two idiots have no foresight at all!”
“If they had just agreed earlier, Orco Real Estate would have a smooth path ahead. But now, even with billions of land in their hands, they won’t be able to start the company. Crying to their parents won’t do any good!”
“Just look at them, newly wealthy but lacking understanding of social connections. If they don’t grant you the certificate, let’s see what they can do!”
They crossed their arms and sneered repeatedly.
Without the “Land Use Certificate,” the company wouldn’t be able to operate, and in the end, Orco Real Estate would suffer the consequences.
This was the outcome of offending the Resource Bureau!
Businesspeople who didn’t even understand basic social etiquette, provoking such influential figures, were digging their own graves. They couldn’t blame anyone else!
