Seeing how calm Nolan looked while talking about the bet, Shaun said angrily, "Don't be a bully, Nolan! Who do you think you are? Are you even worthy of having a bet with me, you trash?"
With that, everyone could clearly hear the state that he was in at that moment.
Meanwhile, Nolan just looked at Shaun calmly and said, "I've always been showing people my good side. However, that doesn't mean I have a good temper. Mr. Shaun, everyone witnessed our bet from earlier.
"If you want to break your promise, I guess it can happen. After all, you've already humiliated yourself. However, I strongly recommend that you don't do it. It'll upset me."
As if he had heard the greatest joke in the world, Shaun pointed at Nolan and scolded, "It'll upset you, huh? So what? Who do you think you are?
"Don't think you have won just because my dad and Lincoln are by your side now, Nolan. I'm telling you, I have Mr. Ironhead and Mr. Lynch by my side! I'm not going to lose!"
Then, he stood on a chair and looked at everyone else in the hall. He yelled with his eyes reddened, "Did I make a bet with Nolan earlier? If you have heard it, stand out if you dare! I want to see who's bold enough to stand against me!
"Even if I'm not the head of the Baxters, I'm still Mr. Lynch's godson, and he'll make sure I become the head of the Baxters. If you have a problem with that, come out now!"
At that moment, Shaun wasn't holding back, and he was being as shameless as he could.
However, it was effective. At that very least, anyone who met his gaze would lower their heads right away. No one dared to look him in the eyes, and no one dared to bring up the bet at all.
Shaun was excited when he saw what was happening, and he laughed loudly.
"Do you see this, Nolan? No one remembers our bet at all! Even if they're bold enough to mention it, I'll kill them! Letting you live until now is my greatest mistake, you piece of shit. It's fine, though. You're going to die today, and no one's going to save you. You have my word!"
