“What did he do to you?” Kamari’s face darkened and his eyes narrowed.
Cristina thought Kamari was angry at Flynn and felt even more pleased.
“Those worthless guys killed my dog and dared not to do anything about it. Today, for your sake, I’m going to tear their mouths apart. Let’s see if they still dare to laugh at you!”
Rodrigo also spoke up, “Mr. Wong, Ms. Wise is loyal to your family. We are willing to follow your family forever!”
“Oh? Do you want to be part of my family?” Kamari smiled and gestured towards them.
Rodrigo and Cristina exchanged a smile before approaching him.
“It seems that Mr. Wong is satisfied with Rodrigo and Ms. Wise’s performance.”
“Yes, look at how he smiles with his eyes squinting! Ms. Wise knows how to flatter him.”
“If Flynn offends Ms. Wise, there may still be a chance for him, but offending Mr. Wong would mean crossing out his name in Yama’s book!”
Kamari was flamboyant in his actions and cared about appearances; he couldn’t stand it when people didn’t show him respect.
Flynn didn’t greet him properly, let alone laughed foolishly in front of Kamari – could the heir of the Wong family tolerate this?
However…
Just as everyone whispered among themselves enjoying other people’s misfortunes, two slaps rang out like firecrackers:
“Slap! Slap!”
Rodrigo and Cristina each received one slap on their faces.
The scene fell silent; everyone’s smiles froze on their faces.
“Mr. Wong… what are you doing?” Rodrigo staggered back two steps while holding onto his old face in shock.
Cristina was also stunned as she stepped back.
“When did I allow you guys to move? Put your faces over here immediately!” Kamari raged furiously with veins popping on his forehead.
Everyone trembled with fear; Rodrigo and Cristina looked terrified as they returned back into place again.
“Tear apart Mr. Clark’s mouth?”
“Slap!”
Kamari slapped Cristina across her face again causing her nosebleed and head dizzy.
“Does he have an intelligence problem regarding my benefactor from my family?”
“Slap!”
Rodrigo also received another slap which made his brain buzz loudly while turning red all over!
He was worth billions, a prominent figure with a reputation. Yet, in broad daylight, he was slapped across the face by someone he couldn’t afford to offend.
His current mood could be imagined.
But compared to the embarrassment, Kamari’s words shocked him even more, and his eyes widened.
Kamari called Flynn his benefactor?!
“This… How is this possible… Him…”
Rodrigo’s mind went blank, unable to comprehend how Flynn could have established a relationship with the Wong family and become their honored guest.
Kamari sneered, “What’s wrong, Mr. Clark? He cured my grandfather’s illness! My family is forever grateful to him!”
“Did you dare to defy Mr. Clark today? Let me tell you, I came here precisely because of this!”
“I hereby announce that my family is cutting off all ties with your family! Let’s see if you dare to act arrogant in front of Mr. Clark!”
Boom!
Rodrigo’s mind exploded, his face turning pale.
Everyone present gasped in shock.
At that moment, Rodrigo’s phone rang, and upon seeing the caller ID, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Orion, Mr. Kennedy!”
A low, menacing voice came through the phone.
“Is this Rodrigo? Do you know who you offended today? You blind, worthless bastard! How dare you act high and mighty in front of Mr. Clark!”
“Starting today, Myriad Dragon Merchant Guild terminates its cooperation with you and cuts off ties with your family!”
Boom!
Thunder roared in Rodrigo’s mind, and a chilling sensation rushed from his feet to his brain.
Just as Orion hung up the phone, Rodrigo’s phone rang again.
“Rodrigo, starting today, my family is cutting off ties with your family!”
“The Simpson family is cutting off ties with your family. If you don’t go bankrupt today, we top-tier families will bear the responsibility!”
“The Rogers family is cutting off ties!”
“The Spears family…”
The heads of the ten major families called one after another, without exception, to announce the severing of ties with the McGuire family.
Rodrigo’s brain was struck by thunder repeatedly, and he lost his mind.
He looked towards Flynn in the distance, recalling every word and sentence he had said earlier, filled with regret.
“Rodrigo, what’s wrong with you?” His old classmates saw his hollow expression and pale face after the phone call, and they asked with concern.
Rodrigo slumped to the ground, his eyes lifeless, murmuring, “The heads of the ten major families said I offended Flynn and they’re cutting off ties with my family…”
Gasp!
The people present took a sharp breath, their goosebumps rising.
Flynn had truly bankrupted the McGuire family!
How could this inconspicuous junior possess such power?!
“Mr. Wong, my family has worked hard to reach its current height. I never knew Flynn was the benefactor of your family!”
“In consideration of my loyalty to your family, please spare me this once. Help me plead with the heads of the major families, I beg you!”
Rodrigo knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Kamari.
The Wong family’s severance was already terrifying enough, but with the joint severance of the ten major families, the McGuire family had no way out. They were undoubtedly doomed!
The thought of losing billions of assets under the siege of the ten major families made Rodrigo’s heart ache.
“Plead? Are you dreaming? Get lost!” Kamari kicked Rodrigo, then turned to Cristina with a cold smile.
“Wretched woman, now that Rodrigo’s matter is settled, it’s time to talk about you!”
After speaking, Kamari grabbed her hair and pulled her close to his ear, gritting his teeth in anger.
“Tell me, how will you tear Mr. Clark’s mouth apart?”
Cristina’s scalp was almost being torn off, screaming in agony.
“Mr. Wong, I was blind and foolish. I have a loose tongue. I was wrong. Please let go of me. It hurts, it really hurts…”
Kamari shook his head and swung the hand that was grabbing Cristina’s hair back and forth, wearing a fake smile as he said, “Apologizing is enough? You and Rodrigo are inseparable. Now that he’s bankrupt, you should accompany him, right?”
“Alright, let’s have a double celebration and blacklist you too!”
Cristina went almost insane after hearing this and started screaming frantically, “Mr. Wong, I’ll do anything for your family, please don’t blacklist me, please!”
“Do anything? Who do you think you are? Get lost, you wretched thing!” Kamari kicked her.
Snap!
A handful of Cristina’s hair was pulled out, and her body rolled down the slope like a ball, howling in pain.
Kamari spat heavily at Cristina and made a call to Orion.
Then he jogged towards Flynn.
Everyone witnessed Kamari’s cruelty and fell silent. They felt slightly relieved when they saw him heading towards Flynn, as their fear subsided a bit.
“We mocked him just now, but who would’ve thought the clown was us? We’ve embarrassed ourselves!”
“Exactly! If we hadn’t been so harsh, we could have used Flynn to get close to the Wong family. Now, we’ve ruined a great opportunity with our own hands!”
“Alright, why are we still standing here? Do you want to end up like Rodrigo? Hurry up and leave!”
Everyone was filled with fear and didn’t want to face the consequences if Flynn sought revenge. They quickly dispersed, fearing that Flynn would seize their belongings before they could even gather their fishing gear.
Rodrigo felt the most frustrated and desperate.
Among his classmates, he was the wealthiest. Just a while ago, when he saw Flynn and Matteo, he had held himself high, exuding an air of superiority.
Who could have imagined that the tables would turn? Flynn singled him out as an example, and with just a few words, the McGuire family went bankrupt.
At that moment, the only hope for the McGuire family was to beg for Flynn’s forgiveness. It was their only glimmer of hope.
With this in mind, Rodrigo crawled and scrambled towards Flynn.
