I can't believe someone who looks like a henchman has been assigned to one of Eurasia's public relations matters. He's embarrassed the entire country!
At that very moment, Zeke was overwhelmed by the urge to punch the man to death.
“Hey! I'm talking to you,” Gabriel snapped. “Apologize to Ms. Lucy right away!”
Zeke truly wanted to beat him up, but he could not.
As of that moment, Gabriel represented Eurasia. If Zeke hit the former, he would be embarrassing Eurasia.
Therefore, he held himself back and gritted out, “What if I say no?”
“You b*stard!” Gabriel cursed again. “Why are you so stubborn at a time like this? I'm ordering you to apologize to Ms. Lucy right away!”
Zeke hissed, “What right do you have to order me around?”
“Fine!” Gabriel snarled, furious. “You're not going to heed my order, are you? Well then, I'll have to resort to violence. Men!”
The men he brought hurried over. “Yes, Mr. Patel?”
Gabriel glared at Zeke and said, “Brat, last chance. If you still refuse to apologize, don't blame me for resorting to force.”
At that, Zeke snapped, “F*ck you! You're an embarrassment to Eurasia!”
Unable to stand it any longer, Gabriel yelled, “Take him down!”
Gabriel's men swarmed forward at his order.
At that very last moment, Zeke let out a wave of energy that instantly covered Gabriel's men.
Gabriel's men instantly found themselves unable to move.
Gabriel scowled. “Darn it! Stop standing there and start working on it!”
He had no idea Zeke had stopped his men from moving with his energy.
Smack!
Zeke was sick of his actions, so he finally slapped Gabriel.
In the next second, the entire place fell silent. Everyone then began staring at Zeke in shock.
To them, Gabriel was the one who could decide whether Zeke lived or die.
Not only had Zeke not tried to butter up Gabriel and speak with his brain-to-mouth filter on, but he even hit the latter. He must have a death wish!
After their initial shock, adrenaline began rushing through Sheldon and Lucy's veins.
Keep it up! Make it worse! The worse this gets, the better! In fact, kill Gabriel! Once that happens, we won't even need international entities to deal with him. Eurasia itself will end him!
Rage flowed through Gabriel like lava as he covered his cheek and stared at Zeke in disbelief.
“You... hit me. You actually hit me! You— You're obstructing enforcement of the law! You're disrupting public order! You've committed yet another crime!”
Upon hearing that, Zeke retorted, “Enforcement of the law? What kind of law are you enforcing?”
“What nonsense are you spewing. Obviously, I'm enforcing Eurasia's law!”
“I've never heard of any Eurasian law stating that we have to lick the boots of foreigners.”
“Bullsh*t! You're slandering us. Who's licking the boots of the foreigners? I'm just protecting the legal rights of foreigners on Eurasian soil; I'm only protecting Eurasia's reputation! Just you wait. I'm going to make sure you won't end well!”
Gabriel stormed toward Lucy and Jacques.
“Most esteemed Ms. Lucy,” Gabriel apologetically started. “We were not good enough. Be at ease. Eurasia will surely make sure that justice is served. It is just a matter of time. This culprit is violently resisting the law, and he is now a threat to my own safety. There's nothing I can do about him. Still, don't worry. I'll be contacting the armed police so that they can come and deal with this man. “Please be rest assured.”
Lucy huffed in dissatisfaction. “Hmph! I have limited time, and you're wasting it! If I knew that Eurasia's environment was this bad, I wouldn't have come in the first place.”
Gabriel was ashamed of the chiding to the point he could not raise his head.
Once Lucy was done with her cursing, Gabriel finally muttered, “Once again, let me apologize for what you've encountered in Eurasia. I've informed the armed police, and they'll be here right away. By then, not only will this man compensate you for your loss, but Eurasia will as well. What do you think of that?”
