“You’re disheartened? You count for nothing! Just a nobody like Niarak, yet acting all high and mighty.”
“Stop spouting nonsense, it would be more realistic to kneel and beg for mercy.”
“You wish Mr. Spencer to treat you fairly, yet you don’t even consider what you are. You’re lucky enough to have met Mr. Spencer before your death.”
Brooks sneered with disdain: “Even if you talk your mouth off today, you won’t survive.”
“Today, I will use your fate to show everyone that I’m not to be trifled with!”
Flynn looked calmly at Barney and said, “What does Mr. Spencer think?”
Barney, regaining his composure from the shock, gave an awkward smile and replied, “Mr. Clark, Brooks is still young, his words might have been too harsh, there’s no need for you to be angry with him.”
“Besides, you’ve already hit him, maybe we should let this go.”
His words silenced the room, leaving everyone utterly confused.
Just a moment ago, there was no talk of forgiveness, and now he was mediating the conflict?
And there was a tone of respect in his words.
“Young?” Flynn scoffed coldly, “Mr. Spencer, if I remember correctly, Brooks is already 34 years old, six years older than me. You say he’s young? How is he young?”
“Uh… well…” Barney was momentarily choked by Flynn’s words, then bravely continued, “Mr. Clark, Brooks is the grandson of my friend. Please, for my sake, spare him this time.”
Flynn said indifferently, “I did give you face when Brooks was causing trouble earlier; I didn’t kill him then.”
“I’m actually quite reasonable and don’t bother with petty grievances with Brooks.”
“But what this group has done is really annoying.”
“Yesterday Brooks tried to shut down my company, so I came to the Stewart family to discuss it.”
“Not only did they try to kill me, but they also targeted my friends.”
“And this Margot, she admitted herself that she killed Rose’s mother. Was it too much to ask her to guard Tinley’s grave for three days?”
Hearing this, Margot nearly died of anger, wishing she could slap her own mouth.
She cursed herself for her loose tongue.
How could she have known Flynn had such capabilities, even Barney treated him with utmost respect.
Thinking she was protected by the Stewart family, even after admitting it, Flynn could only stare.
Unfortunately, she was wrong.
“And this Cristina, last time her dog almost bit Uncle Kaur, I killed her Tibetan Mastiff. Not only did she not repent, she kept causing trouble. Do you think I was too harsh in hitting her?”
“Rodrigo, as a classmate of my mother, I initially respected him. But he never once looked me and Uncle Kaur in the eye and even insulted my mother. Didn’t he deserve to die?”
“The Stewart family is even more absurd. Their own son had a stroke and they blamed it on me, even asking the Stewart family to shut down my company.”
“I let the Stewart family supply cement and steel for free, is that a problem?”
Flynn’s explanations and four rhetorical questions left Barney stunned, then silent.
Rose, Matteo, Adrianna-these three people are Flynn’s sore points, this he knew.
Given Flynn’s temperament, it was not surprising that Brooks and his group had pushed him to this point.
One could only say they had it coming. Why provoke this formidable figure?
“Brooks, tell me the truth, is it as he said?” Barney stared coldly at Brooks, his presence felt even through the screen.
Facing Barney’s formidable gaze, Brooks opened his mouth but eventually bowed his head and said, “Mr. Barney, what he said is essentially true…”
Everyone fell silent.
A sense of despair enveloped the crowd, and Cristina’s body broke out in goosebumps.
She knew she was doomed today.
“Dammit!” Barney exploded in anger, shouting loudly, “You make a mistake and expect me to help you cover it up? Do you think I’m an idiot?”
“A nearly forty-year-old bullying others with power, you’d deserve to be beaten to death!”
“You’ve disappointed me so much. Handle this yourself; I won’t deal with the Stewart family’s issues anymore!”
After saying this, Barney abruptly ended the video call and sighed deeply.
Fortunately, Brooks and the others were at fault first, otherwise, he really wouldn’t know what to do.
Now, it was all good. He had given face to Flynn and saved his own skin.
He gave everyone the illusion that it wasn’t that he didn’t want to intervene, but that their actions were too excessive.
Boom!
Brooks’ head exploded, leaving him stunned on the spot, his facial muscles twitching.
He understood Barney’s meaning all too well!
It seemed righteous, but it was actually because he didn’t dare to offend Flynn!
Even though they were at fault, Flynn shouldn’t have beaten them like this!
Even the head of the Spencer family didn’t dare to offend him. What kind of monster was this?!
Cristina and others were also blank-minded, feeling as if the end of the world had come, in a state of constant anxiety.
This situation was like a roller coaster, waves of excitement followed by waves of despair.
Everyone thought that no matter how powerful Flynn was, he couldn’t suppress the Spencer family.
But in reality, when Barney saw Flynn, his lips twitched uncontrollably and his eyes nearly popped out.
His speech was even more cautious, almost servile in posture.
“Do you want to handle it yourself, or should I help you?” Flynn looked at Brooks, his expression unchanging.
His demeanor was calm, but everyone felt a deep chill.
Like a colossal titan looking down upon the masses, his presence made mountains and rivers crumble.
Brooks shivered with fear, quickly pleading, “Mr. Clark, I’m willing to supply you with cement and steel for free, and I’ll even give you a hundred million dollars, please spare me, I can’t be slapped in the face, it would be… utterly… humiliating…”
He was the face of the Stewart family, and if his face got swollen, even if others didn’t know the details, they would laugh their heads off.
If the Stewart family’s eldest son got slapped, the enemy factions might even spin it into something worse.
You know, if it were a punch to the face or a broken leg, or some other injury, he could explain it as an accident.
But a swollen face from a slap was indefensible!
Flynn responded indifferently, “You mean, you want my help?”
Boom!
Brooks’ face turned pale instantly.
This guy was impervious to reason!
A hundred million dollars couldn’t buy his own face!
What kind of demon or god had he provoked!
“I… I’ll do it myself…” Brooks despaired, raising his hand to slap his own face.
Even Barney couldn’t save him. If he didn’t comply, his fate would be even grimmer.
Just a moment ago, he felt triumphant and confident, but now he faced consecutive defeats, losing all face.
“Smack smack smack!”
The sound of slapping echoed.
Brooks’ face was in pain, his heart even more so.
Everyone who witnessed this scene gasped in shock, utterly stunned.
Brooks, who controlled a company worth hundreds of billions, was now slapping his own face!
“Remember, you stop when I say stop,” Flynn said calmly, glancing at Brooks and then looking at Cristina with a gaze that swept past a dog’s leash, asking:
“Do you want me to tether you, or will you do it yourself?”
