Chapter 51
Joshua walked into the bar.
He wore a suit and Italian-made brown leather shoes, with slicked-back hair, in grand style.
As he appeared, the whole bar fell silent.
Only loud music and flickering lights went on.
Joshua was one of the three generals of Michael, the manager of the Leopard Department, is famous everywhere. He could make a lot of forces stand down by his name.
“What’s going on?”
After Joshua walked in, he put his hands on his hips, and Johnny, who had just been pushed away, came up again.
“Mr. Clayton, I taught someone a lesson. He was not convinced, so he asked some guys to beat me.
“Those guys have learned martial arts. I couldn’t beat them, so I brought you up, Mr. Clayton, but he said even if Michael Davis was here, he wouldn’t care.”
Johnny narrated with embellishment.
He didn’t mention a word about the fact that he beat Albert’s father first.
“This brat is too arrogant. When he learned that I called you, he sat on a chair with disdain on his face and just waited.
“He doesn’t give a sh it about you, Mr. Clayton. He beat the cr ap out of me. See what he did to me.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the swollen part of his cheek.
The lights were dim, so Johnny got closer, and then Joshua slapped him in disgust and pulled him aside.
“F uck off, keep away from me. Your mouth stinks.”
“Sorry, my bad.”
Johnny nodded and bowed.
Seeing Johnny talking nonsense, Albert couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Clayton, that’s not true. I had quit the arena and went to work, but he came to my house and beat my sixty-year-old father.
“That’s why I’m so angry that I came to seek revenge on him.
“As for my friend beating him, it was for me, out of brotherhood.
“Brotherhood comes first in the arena. I heard that Boundless Group also attaches great importance to brotherhood. Mr. Clayton, I think you can understand us.”
Hearing this, Joshua said impatiently, “Our Boundless Group indeed values brotherhood the most, but it is for our own people. You beat my man, and no matter what the reason is, you have to pay the price.
“Even though Johnny was wrong, only I can fix him. It’s not up to others to teach him a lesson.”
Hearing this, Albert kept silent with despair in his eyes.
He knew it was useless to say anything else.
Joshua obviously wanted to stand up for Johnny regardless of the facts.
And Johnny couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.
He felt that Albert was really stu pid. No matter whether it was reasonable or not, he was now a member of Boundless Group, and Albert could do nothing to him.
In order to maintain the dignity of Boundless Group, Joshua must stand up for Johnny. Otherwise, he couldn’t convince his men in the future, and others wouldn’t be afraid of Boundless Group.
“Relationship trumps reason. He actually tried to reason with Joshua.”
“Boundless Group has always been domineering, and their people can only be punished by themselves, and no one else
can do it.”
“That young man stopped talking. Look at him. He’s like an ostrich. Seems that he was frightened.”
Many people present sighed.
They could even predict what would happen next.
Chapter 51
Judy was tense, and she took out her mobile phone to see if she could get someone to help Leonard, but soon she gave up.
The status of Boundless Group was too high, and with the few connections in her family, she couldn’t help at all.
At this time, Leonard stood up slowly from the chair, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stamped it out, then looked at Joshua with a calm look.
Because the lights in the bar were dim, Joshua couldn’t see clearly for a while, but a bright light just swept across Leonard’s face.
At this moment, Joshua couldn’t help gulping and became a little stiff.
“Hello, Mr. Clayton.”
Leonard looked at Joshua with a half-smile.
He and Joshua had been separated for less than two hours, and they did not expect to meet again so soon.
Joshua, who had just seen Leonard’s strength, now knew that he was in trouble.
He had a deep understanding of how terrifying Leonard was.
And this time, Michael brought his three men to Newden City, telling them to deal with the matter well and make Leonard happy so that maybe their force could be raised to a higher level.
If Michael knew that Joshua provoked Leonard, Joshua would be skinned.
“Mr. Clayton, it’s him. He beat me. Please get back to him for me! Better kill him.”
Johnny said triumphantly.
It was just that before he could finish.
A slap fell directly on his face.
It was so hard that it turned him around.
With this slap, a tooth of Johnny flew out of his mouth, and he froze in place, not knowing what happened.
The next moment, Joshua didn’t explain at all, grabbed Johnny by the collar, and punched him hard on the head a few times.
While beating, he cursed, “You ba stard. How dare you bully people in my name? Have you forgotten how I taught you? “He’s already withdrawn from the arena, and you still beat his father. Are you still a human being?
“You like to pull your rank on? You like to tarnish my reputation, huh? I’m gonna kill you…”
Johnny was beaten by Joshua and squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, begging for mercy. “Mr. Clayton, please stop. I was wrong. Please forgive me…”
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
What was happening here?
The store shouldn’t develop like this.
Joshua kicked Johnny to the ground, grabbed a chair, and slammed it on him without pausing.
It looked like he was beating Johnny to death.
Joshua knew very well that Johnny had offended Leonard, and Leonard must have been irritated. If Joshua didn’t let Leonard vent his anger, he would be the one being beaten in a while.
Albert was already stunned, watching all this with a dazed expression.
And Judy behind the bar counter also widened her mouth in astonishment, eyes full of dullness.
She felt like she couldn’t think straight.
“Could it be that the rumors are not true? The people from Boundless Group are actually very reasonable?” she thought.
