"Watch your mouth, lady. There's a little boy here." Luke pulled over to the side of the road when they arrived at FX International Group. Edward and Rain were walking outside the building at that same time.
"Uncle Luke, it's Dad! We don't have to go upstairs." Justin pushed the door open and ran without looking at the road upon seeing his dad. Edward heard the car brakes screeched from a distant. He took a deep breath and dashed towards Justin without wasting even a second. He grabbed his child's arms and rolled over as fast as he could to avoid the speeding car.
"Justin, are you okay?" Edward gave his son a quick once over. He was still in shock.
"I'm okay. Dad, sorry. What about you? Are you okay?" Justin asked with a trembling voice. His face turned pale as he was freaked out by what just happened.
"Mr. Mu, are you alright?" Luke was also freaked out. He immediately got off the car and ran towards them. He didn't expect Justin to get off the moment he pulled over. Luckily, Edward was quick enough to save his son, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Justin might be hit by the car and Luke could only live with his regrets for the rest of his life if something bad happened to him.
"Oh, we are fine." Edward stood up with the young boy in his arms. He frowned at the pain coming from his knees but immediately calmed down and went back to being composed. The hard ground must have scraped the skin off his knees.
"Dude, look what you just did! This is a footpath. You should watch the road." Since Edward and Justin were fine, Rain walked up to the young man who just got off his car. He could tell by how pale the guy's face looked that he was also frightened.
"The kid suddenly dashed out from nowhere. I already braked hard as I could when I saw him." The young man trembled with fear as he answered Rain's question. Panic was all over his stance after the accident, but nevertheless, he was not willing to admit his wrong.
"You said it as though it was Justin's fault, huh? Don't forget that this is not a road. This is a private space of FX International Group." There was a large space in front of the FX International Group's building. Many car owners didn't want to stay at a red light so they drove there to get around the crossroads.
"So what? It's the space of FX International Group, not yours. Can't I use the space?" Since nobody was injured, the man became more arrogant. He believed that his father would solve the problem anyway even if the kid got hurt. After all, money talks.
"Ha! Not my space? Open your eyes wider and look at us. Do you know who we are? Well, with a BMW, you think you are somebody, huh? I guess you are some rich second generation, right? Shame on your father!" Rain taunted with a cold smile. Though being arrogant, he flaunted himself as a well-educated person who wouldn't treat others' lives as nothing.
"Well, you are right. I am a rich second generation. And you are just an employee. Mind your attitude." The young man's eyes were filled with disdain as he rolled at Rain. He looked down upon such employees and believed that they could be bribed easily with money.
"Who is your father?" Edward asked with a frown. His face was overcast with anger. Obviously, he was on the point of succumbing to rage. He would have forgiven him if the young man had apologized to him sincerely. No one was hurt after all. However, the man provoked them and did not even care to apologize. Since his father failed to discipline him, Edward would not mind doing the job for his father.
"You will be frightened if I tell you my father's name." The young man grew more arrogant upon talking about his father. He raised his chin and gave Edward a challenging look. He was a little scared by Edward's fierce aura but he was reluctant to admit that.
