The whole office went silent, apart from a few desperate gasping sounds.
The onlooker stared at Leo with horrified expressions. They were so scared that they held their breaths.
Ken's father was a 6-foot-tall man who looked intimidating enough without having to do anything. Even so, Leo had knocked him backwards like he was a beach ball.
He crashed into several desks and chairs on his way down, turning the whole office into a mess.
Ken's jaw fell open. It was clear that the kick had left a great impact on him.
"That fucking hurts..."
Ken's father got up from the floor, cursing up a storm. There was a stinging pain in his head.
He reached out to touch it and found blood all over his palm.
"Oh my God! You're bleeding!"
When Mrs. O'Brien saw the blood on her husband's head, she screamed and fainted on the spot.
Leo laughed despite himself, amused that she had passed out after just seeing a bit of blood.
"Mrs. O'Brien, are you okay?" Janet caught Mrs. O'Brien by the arm as soon as she saw her fainting.
Mr. O'Brien grabbed a few pieces of tissue and wiped the wound on his forehead. He looked at Leo with intense hatred. "How dare you hit me!"
Leo remained indifferent. "You should be damn grateful that you’re meeting me now. If this was a few years ago, I would've killed you on the spot for laying a hand on my daughter."
The coldness in his voice made Mr. O'Brien shiver. He had never met a man like Leo before.
Even so, he did not intend to let this slide.
"You think you're so awesome, don't you? Let's see how long you can keep that up!"
Shooting Leo a vicious glare, he took out his phone and made a call. "Hello? Spencer? I need you to teach someone a lesson."
When the teachers inside the office heard this, their expressions turned grim and they called the principal over.
The principal was a woman in her thirties. As soon as she entered the door, she tried her best to persuade Leo and Mr. O'Brien. "Please don't do this, sir. Don't ruin your relationship over such a small thing."
"We don't know each other!"
Mr. O'Brien interrupted the principal. "I'll make him pay the price in blood for assaulting me just now. Otherwise, what will people take us for?"
Emilia was scared as well. "Daddy, can we just leave?"
Leo gave her head an affection rub but there was a vicious look in his eyes. "Emilia, remember that you're my daughter. I won't let you suffer in silence. I teach you to be kind, but I won't teach you to bow your head to people!"
Emilia nodded even though she did not fully understand it, but Mr. O'Brien and Janet looked upset after hearing this.
"Be proud all you want now. Once Wallace gets here, it's game over for you!" Mr. O'Brien's voice was oozing with hatred. The wound on his head was still hurting.
Before long, a handful of unlicensed vans drove into the kindergarten behind a Mercedes Benz MPV in an orderly manner.
The car doors opened and a group of sinister-looking individuals swaggered in.
The leader was a handsome young man in a suit.
Mr. O'Brien went into fawning mode upon seeing him. "Spencer! You're finally here."
The kindergarten teachers were so frightened by the group of men that they did not even dare to look in these men in the eyes. Leo was the only one indifferent to them. He merely started chuckling.
These days, good girls wanted to look bad and vice versa. It seemed true for hired thugs like these guys as well.
The O’Brien’s was a second-rate family in Emerdale. Seeing how respectful Mr. O'Brien was being, these men must be from one of the top underground forces here.
It's said that all roads lead to Rome. The leader of the gangsters must be quite capable if even members of the upper-class trip over themselves to get on his good side.
The man was the head of the top underground force in Emerdale, Redley. His name was Wallace Spencer.
"Yeah."
