“However, we’ll take whatever is given.”
“Summer, I’m planning to include this brand into the Linton Group. Would you be able to muster up some energy from the food and beverage department and come and manage this brand?”
Everyone around them suddenly broke out in laughter.
Who gave this little kid this kind of guts to say these?
He’s just a farmer who could probably earn a maximum of a couple of thousand in his lifetime. Who does he think he is to eye this brand?
He must be joking. Yup, that must be it.
Ruby did not know whether to laugh or cry at his response.
This student had always been boastful when he was in school, and now it seems like nothing has changed.
However, Summer was very much aware of Zeke’s ability.
She said gravely, “Mr. Williams, I so sorry, but I am not that familiar with the area of education.”
Zeke then replied, “No worries, I’ll hire another expert then.”
Someone from the crowd could no longer hold back their laughter.
Summer was still thinking of persuading Zeke to leave, but a few vans sped up and stopped nearby.
When the doors opened, a dozen muscular men got down from the van threateningly.
The leader had a scar on his face.
Summer and Ruby’s hearts thumped wildly when they saw the man.
It was Humpty’s cousin, Ken.
Clenching her fists, Summer whispered, “Mom, call the police.”
Ruby immediately reached for her phone to make the phone call.
However, Zeke stopped her and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this.”
“You...” Ruby was confused.
Zeke nodded and stood in front of the two of them.
Humpty walked towards Ken and said, “Ken, you’re finally here. I am about to be annoyed to death here. Not only did this guy hit my woman, but he also even threatened to have me kneel and apologize to him...Sigh, even when I tried to drop your name, he insulted you and called you a good-for-nothing.”
Ken instantly flew to a fury, “F***! How dare he? Does he not want to live, causing trouble in my territory? Tell me which a**hole it is that’s causing all this trouble, and I’ll teach him a lesson myself!”
Humpty pointed at Zeke triumphantly.
Ken immediately led his men and walked towards them forcefully.
He had taken just two steps before he stopped and turned to remind Humpty. “Don’t forget about my payment.”
Humpty replied, “Don’t worry, I am arranging for the bank transfer right now.”
With that, Humpty immediately took out his phone and contacted his finance officer.
Ken then led his men to surround Zeke.
Summer, who was completely inexperienced, was so frightened she barely dared to breathe.
However, she mustered up all her courage to defend Zeke. “Don’t listen to him. We are the true victims here.”
Ken snorted. “Victims? Hoho, I don’t see any injuries on you, but my friend’s woman has a huge slap mark on her face. Hang on. Why does he look so familiar?”
Ken scrutinized Zeke and tried to recognize him but could not identify him at all.
He asked, “Have we met? What’s your name?”
Zeke did not answer directly and merely said, “If my brother sees that you want to fight, they will definitely be very excited.”
Confused, Ken asked, “Your brother? Who is this brother of yours? Why would he be excited by our fight?”
Zeke replied, “The underworld brothers all address him as Wolf!”
Wolf?
He’d be excited to see us fight?
Damnit, is he referring to Sole Wolf? The master whose sole source of happiness lies within fighting?
Sole Wolf was so addicted to fighting; he will definitely rush to the front when a fight breaks out.
