No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 8

The slap left Philip dumbfounded. He asked in confusion, "Mr. Cox, why did you hit me?"

"Why?" Justin’s fury had yet to subside. He shouted angrily again, "Do you know you almost assaulted a person you shouldn’t have? If you want to kill yourself, don't implicate me!"

Phillip trembled all over at once.

He could tell loud and clear that Justin Cox looked terrified, instead of angry when he scolded him.

"But he's the owner of the International Commerce Center. Who could he be afraid of all of a sudden?" Phillip became desperate at this thought. Regardless of the pain on his face, he knelt down with a thump and pleaded, "Mr. Cox, I didn't know this gentleman was an honored guest. It's my first-time offense. Please forgive me!"

"Hmph," Justin snorted, his expression unchanged, "you're barking up the wrong tree. You need to ask this man for forgiveness."

While speaking, he looked at Leo who had been calm throughout and then swifted to a flattering expression immediately. He asked cautiously, "Are you Mr. Leo Cohen?"

20 minutes ago, a powerful individual purchased the International Commerce Center from him at a very high price, then told him that he was merely a middleman. The person behind the action was Leo Cohen, a man who would visit the building in person that day.

So, Justin had been waiting downstairs after the call, hoping to make a good impression on the new owner. He believed that if he could hook up with him, or even cut a deal, it would be of great help to his future.

He did not expect such a farce to happen when the big shot arrived.

Leo nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, I am."

Justin became even more respectful and handed over his name card. He introduced himself humbly, "We're greatly honored by your gracious presence. I'm the owner of this building, Justin Cox. You can call me Justin, or my childhood nickname, Meatball."

Phillip and all the other guards were stunned.

As a matter of fact, "Meatball" was not Justin’s childhood nickname at all, but rather a monicker the building's employees gave to him. No one dared to call him "Meatball" in public unless they wanted to be fired...

With Justin's humble attitude, Leo could only take his card and exchange pleasantries, "Nice to meet you."

Justin smiled sweetly at once, then looked at Phillip who was still petrified on the side and rebuked with a frown, "Mr. Cohen, this brat is as blind as a bat and stupidly ignorant. You don't need to concern yourself with such a brute..."

"As blind as a bat?" Leo sneered, expressionless. "If I were a nobody, what would happen then?"

"Do you think it's a great honor to be the lackey of those in power?"

Justin and Phillip changed colors at once.

Justin glanced at Philip and shook his head. He had tried his best to save Philip, but unfortunately, Leo had taken a firm line.

"Go and write a resignation letter. You're not fit for this job," Justin said to Philip while waving his hand.

"Mr. Cox..." Philip wanted to say more but Justin had escorted Leo into the building.

"Mr. Cohen, are you here today for the bidding?" Justin jogged all the way and asked Leo trucklingly.

"Not interested." Leo maintained a calm expression and looked straight ahead. "I'm here to take a look at this building. Get to know it."

"I see..." Justin wiped away his sweat awkwardly and asked again, "Mr. Cohen, since you’ve bought this building, shall I hold a handover ceremony for you to celebrate it?"

"No, thanks."

Leo refused without hesitation and explained, "I don't like these kinds of formalities. As for this building, you'll be the nominal manager here if you like. I'm just buying it for fun."

"Buying it for fun? This is what it means to have deep pockets I suppose, while always keeping a low profile," Justin wondered as the worship in his eyes grew stronger.

He gave Leo a tour of the building's facilities. On the way, they ran into some female employees who wore white shirts, black skirts and stockings, looking quite youthful.

They whispered about Justin and Leo who were walking side by side.

"Isn't that Mr. Cox? Who's that man next to him? He's so young looking."

"Maybe he's the general manager of some big company, here for the auction."

"Maybe. What a pity that I'm not working in Atlas Beauty of Ms. Henderson. Otherwise, I could get an invitation too."

"Come on. Ms. Henderson is known for hating men and being harsh to women, a typical iron lady."

For a time, the mysterious Leo caused a great uproar in the building.

At this time, Caroline and Rebecca came out of the bathroom and were shocked by the sight before them as well.
