Jeremy believed his father had arrived for the engagement proposal that was supposed to happen.
He pointed accusingly at Marcus and shouted, “Father, this guy disrupted everything we were supposed to do today. He even slapped me!” He lied.
Mr. Coblen frowned deeply as he took in the chaotic scene, overturned tables, groaning guards scattered across the floor, and the pile of disarmed guns. His sharp eyes scanned everywhere before finally settling on Marcus with a mix of recognition and respect.
The restaurant exploded into whispers.
“It’s over for him now,” one man muttered nervously.
“Mr. Coblen is here. That guy is finished.”
“How dare he challenge the Coblen family? He’s done for,” another whispered.
“No one survives crossing them,” a woman added, shaking her head.
Jeremy smirked triumphantly, regaining some confidence. “Father, I want you to deal with him. Fuck his threat up! And this man too!” He pointed aggressively at the poor-looking young man.
Smack!
It happened too quickly for anyone to predict. Mr. Coblen delivered a powerful slap across Jeremy’s face. The sound echoed through the silent room.
Everyone was shocked, murmuring in disbelief. “What just happened?”
“How?. he slap his own son?”
“Did I see that right?”
Jeremy staggered back, holding his cheek in utter shock. “Father! Did you just slap me because of this
man?!”
“Yes,” Mr. Coblen replied sternly, “and if you don’t shut up, I will slap you again. How dare you abuse the power bestowed upon our family?”
Jeremy protested angrily, “It wasn’t bestowed! We earned it, and you slapped me for it!”
Smack! Another slap landed.
“Yeah. And I will do it over and over again,” Mr. Coblen said coldly. “You think you can just offend anyone?”
Just as the crowd was still processing the shocking display, Mr. Coblen stepped forward and bowed deeply and respectfully before Marcus.

The entire restaurant fell into stunned silence. Gasps filled the air.
“Did Mr. Coblen just bow to him?”
“For no one? The legend himself bowed?”
“This can’t be real…” People whispered in absolute disbelief, their jaws dropping once more.
Mr. Coblen’s deep bow sent shockwaves through the restaurant, intensifying the already stunned atmosphere.
Whispers turned into audible gasps as people struggled to process the sight of the legendary Mr. Coblen bowing to Marcus.
“I’m deeply sorry for my son’s misbehavior,” Mr. Coblen said, his voice heavy with regret as he straightened up. “He has brought shame to our family name tonight.”
Jeremy’s face twisted in confusion and fury. “Father, is this a spell? You are bowing to a no one person! Who is he to you?”
In truth, Mr. Coblen was one of Mr. Langstone’s closest comrades – a loyal servant who owed him immense respect. Marcus knew him very well and even had his direct contact.
Mr. Langstone was a retired high-ranking officers who had fought side by side in many conflicts. But for some reasons. mr. coblen treated mr. Langstone was so much respect!.
When the chaos with Jeremy erupted, Mr. Coblen had received a severe text from his network about the incident, which explained his timely arrival.
But before Mr. Coblen could respond, Marcus spoke calmly, “Well, I was once one of Mr. Langstone’s
comrades.”
Jeremy frowned deeply, his voice rising in disbelief. “And what! That’s the reason you are bowing, Father? For an ordinary ex-officer?!”
Smack!
Mr. Coblen slapped him again, harder this time. The sound cracked through the room like thunder. Jeremy winced, holding his swelling cheek in pain, barely able to stand straight.
“Kneel!” Mr. Coblen commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Kneel right now! And apologize to everyone for what you did.”
“Father, I… I can’t do that,” Jeremy stammered, tears of humiliation welling in his eyes. “It would be embarrassing. Why are you taking their side and not me?”.
Mr. Coblen’s expression remained stern. “Because you are the one in the wrong,” he said coldly. “Now apologize right now. Kneel and apologize, or else you will regret what I will do to you.”
“Father…” Jeremy whimpered, his voice trembling.
