The scene was enveloped in silence.
The brat had acted arrogantly and got beat up in Niarak!
His face was swollen like a pig’s, and it wouldn’t heal for ten days or half a month; he might even have a concussion.
It felt good, but this brat wasn’t a vegetarian either.
Just as everyone was worrying about Flynn, a loud siren blared from the end of Promenade Lane, and suddenly, more than a dozen cars appeared.
A dozen people got out of the cars and hurried over.
Leading them was a man in his fifties, striding quickly.
“… Penelope, save me, save me…” Mr. Takada’s mouth was swollen, and his already poor Ostrad language was even more muffled.
“Penelope, why didn’t you come sooner? It’s too late, too late!” Vivienne Osborn cried even louder.
The old lady was also deeply distressed, crying out to heaven: “Penelope must severely punish this thug, avenge us!”
After saying this, the old lady glared angrily at Flynn, “Now that the province has sent people, you’re doomed! You must die!”
“I’ll just stand here and watch you get carried away like a dog, dying in jail!”
Penelope saw Mr. Takada kneeling on the ground, his face so swollen he was unrecognizable, and immediately gasped, running over.
“Mr. Takada, who did this… hmm? White… Ms. George?” Penelope had just arrived when he spotted Molly and was taken aback.
Molly sighed, “Uncle Penelope.”
The scene burst into murmurs.
“Penelope knows this woman?” Vivienne Osborn was the first to be stunned, her brow furrowing.
Penelope nodded, “Ms. George is the Governor’s niece.”
The crowd erupted.
“My God, she’s Rocco Spencer’s relative; this will be interesting.”
“One side a relative, the other a foreign dignitary, tough for Rocco Spencer.”
“Ah, it was just a matter of line-cutting, I didn’t expect it to escalate like this.”
A ripple appeared in Penelope’s eyes, somewhat surprised, “Ms. George, you hit Mr. Takada?”
He had known Rocco Spencer for over twenty years and was aware of Molly’s temper; plenty of rich kids had been beaten by this girl.
“This Flynn scum hit us, Ms. George didn’t get involved at all!”
“Penelope can surely punish him severely!”
Vivienne Osborn pointed furiously at Flynn, rage spilling from her eyes.
What about the Governor’s niece? Molly wasn’t involved! It doesn’t affect punishing Flynn!
“Flynn?” Penelope heard the name and was taken aback.
He had heard this name from Rocco Spencer more than once.
This man was a benefactor to the Spencer family!
He had killed the King of Poison for the Spencer family and had promised to help take care of Molly.
Although Rocco Spencer hadn’t disclosed Flynn’s real identity, just these two points made Penelope cautious!
However, the other party was also formidable, a foreign dignitary from Shipmeda State!
Flynn was too bold, relying on the Spencer family’s favor to act recklessly and lawlessly!
“Mr. Clark, what’s going on, why did you beat up Mr. Takada? Don’t you know he’s a distinguished guest from our Shipmeda State?” Penelope asked sternly, with an accusing tone.
Flynn, looking indifferent, casually asked, “The scoundrel ordered his men to kill me, and I shouldn’t hit him?”
Mr. Takada sneered, “You really know how to twist the facts! Weren’t you the one who started trouble first? You hit Ms. Vivienne Osborn and the old lady.”
“They are my people, I naturally had to come and help!”
Flynn replied coldly, “So you mean, after I hit these two lackeys, you can just punish me at will on Ostrad soil?”
“You…” Mr. Takada was sharply taken aback and momentarily didn’t know how to respond.
Yes!
Even though Flynn hit Vivienne Osborn, it was Ostrad officials who intervened. They came looking for trouble with great force, clearly against Ostrad’s regulations.
“Fine! Let’s not talk about what happened earlier. Knocking out my bodyguard can be considered self-defense.”
“But why did you have someone slap me a hundred times after I was no longer a threat to you?” Mr. Takada asked loudly, visibly enraged.
Penelope’s expression darkened as she addressed Flynn, “I need a perfect explanation for this.”
Flynn remained calm, simply stating:
“Do Ostrad people need a reason to strike those from Wakasa?”
Do Ostrad people need a reason to strike those from Wakasa?
The expressions of the bystanders were priceless.
From the standpoint of the onlookers, this statement was excellent and deserved applause.
Good job, well done!
Wakasa and Ostrad have ancient enmities, and Mr. Takada has been overbearing in Ostrad, extremely arrogant in his speech-it’s indeed a fitting response!
Even killing him would not be too much.
Does this scoundrel think Ostrad is still as weak as it was decades ago?
Sir, times have changed!
However, Penelope could not let personal emotions interfere. Hearing Flynn’s remark, her brow furrowed slightly.
“Listen to this! He says hitting us Wakasa people needs no explanation, as if we’re nothing!” Mr. Takada pointed at Flynn and yelled.
Flynn tilted his head, looking at Mr. Takada seriously, and said:
“Didn’t I tell you? In my eyes, you are just a maggot crawling through the mire.”
“Such a disgusting creature shouldn’t exist in this world! If it weren’t for not wanting to dirty my hands, I would have dealt with you myself.”
Arrogant!
Ferocious!
Rude!
Mr. Takada was so angry he almost spat blood.
“Mr. Penelope, you see? This young man is a madman. If you can’t provide me with a satisfactory explanation today, I will have to seek justice at the Wakasa embassy in Ostrad!”
“I will also withdraw my investments and relocate the factories elsewhere. Once these things happen, Rocco Spencer will also have a headache!”
Penelope looked troubled. “Mr. Clark, this makes it very difficult for me.”
Molly was also at a loss. The moment Flynn acted, she knew this would be the outcome.
Once Mr. Takada complains to the embassy, this matter will escalate into an international incident.
“Flynn, please, just apologize to him. Otherwise, even my uncle can’t protect you,” Molly pleaded anxiously.
Seeing Penelope’s anxious face, Mr. Takada’s face bore a disdainful smile.
“See? Knowing Rocco Spencer is useless. I have ways to destroy you!”
Vivienne Osborn, witnessing the scene, became agitated: “Once this triggers international public opinion, even Rocco Spencer won’t be able to smooth things over!”
“You’d better kneel to Mr. Takada now and let him decide your fate!”
“Otherwise, endless imprisonment awaits you!”
The old lady also laughed loudly: “No need to explain for hitting a Wakasa person? I dare you to repeat that at the police station!”
Mr. Takada’s withdrawal of investment would move two hundred-billion-dollar companies out of Shipmeda State, leaving a hundred thousand people unemployed, definitely affecting Rocco Spencer’s political achievements.
Under Rocco Spencer’s governance, such a severe international incident would hold him accountable.
It seems that even if Rocco Spencer wanted to help, his hands are tied.
If Flynn doesn’t bow today, severe punishment awaits him!
The crowd at the scene also looked disheartened, their eyes filled with reluctance, as dreams ultimately succumbed to reality, and the final victor was humanity…
