In an instant, Maxwell retaliated with lightning fast reflexes as he returned a slap onto President Gerald’s face!
A crisp and clear sound which was much louder than the previous slap echoed across the banquet hall!
President Gerald was clutching his face while staggering backwards with shame. He looked at Maxwell in disbelief. Blood started to trickle down the corner of his lips…
Meanwhile, Greta who was a bystander was completely dumbfounded. She stared at Maxwell while gnashing her teeth… She was sure she had warned this guy not to make a ruckus, yet he started one anyway!
In an instant, silence enveloped the hall! Everybody was looking at Maxwell in shock. They couldn’t return to their sense at all as this sudden turn of events had caught them off guard.
This was a revolt! Maxwell had slapped someone while attending Young Master Sandoval’s banquet. Was he really planning to cause a scene?
He really dared to cause a scene in a banquet held to welcome Young Master Sandoval!
President Gerald steadied himself while producing a handkerchief from his pockets to wipe off traces of blood near his lips. He was so angry that he was actually laughing now. It was a maniacal laugher imbued with cruelty!
“Well, well… I can’t believe you dare to hit me.” President Gerald was glaring at Maxwell with a venomous gaze.
“What about it? You have slapped me just now, so I was just returning a favour. I am doing this out of courtesy.” Maxwell simply replied.
“You… you better prepare yourself since you even dare to hit me. Do you know who are we doing this banquet for?” President Gerald asked coldly.
“Of course I know, it’s for Young Master Sandoval.” Maxwell sounded carefree.
The other guests felt a shiver of fear permeating through their bodies when they heard that. They were shocked by Maxwell’s words!
It turned out that Maxwell still went on to cause a ruckus knowing that this was a banquet with Young Master Sandoval as the centre of focus. Was he trying to provoke the mighty Young Master Sandoval?
“This is a welcome banquet for Young Master Sandoval… Who even thinks of starting a fight here? Even for the most notorious young masters in Ocean City, they are all acting obediently today…”
“Is he courting death? He is publicly declaring war on Young Master Sandoval. This is madness! Who does he think he is to provoke Young Master Sandoval? Who does he think he is?”
“Nowadays, a nobody like him can be so arrogant without a care in the world. If Young Master Sandoval hears of this, he’ll never hear the end of it!”
President Gerald burst into laughter, “You are really daring! You are doing something outrageous in Young Master Sandoval’s banquet, in this place called Ocean City. Do you want Young Master Sandoval to deal with you himself?”
Maxwell twitched his lips as he retorted, “I am hitting you alone. What does it have to do with Young Master Sandoval? What’s so great about this banquet? This hotel does not belong to him anyway!”
Once again, a depressing silence engulfed the hall.
Countless guests were appalled after listening to his outrageous words!
He was insane! He sounded like he wasn’t concerned about Young Master Sandoval at all!
When Young Master Sandoval arrived in Ocean City, even the representative of the city hall would give way to him. On the other hand, this crazy young man was publicly displaying his disrespect towards Young Master Sandoval. He was really too much!
There were quite a number of guests looking at Maxwell with a complicated expression as if they had mixed feelings about what was happening. Some of them were even feeling sorry for him. In their eyes, there was no way this man would escape this place unscathed. He probably would not be able to leave this place alive!
His attitude was too arrogant. Perhaps somebody would deal with him hastily and Young Master Sandoval would probably never learn of this fiasco forever.
Maxwell’s words were too shocking, and the big shots of Ocean City were studying him with interest. They wanted to see with their own eyes what fate would befall Maxwell who had offended Young Master Sandoval…
At the same time, Greta was breathing hard with a deathly pale face. She was on the brink of going crazy. This guy had really started something irreversible. She was probably powerless to resolve this big of an issue as well!
He was done for! Even for Greta, she wouldn’t count on herself when she gauged her standing compared with Young Master Sandoval. Despite her worries, Maxwell had easily instigated a disaster out of the blue!
“Do you know what kind of relationship I have with Young Master Sandoval?” President Gerald was smiling with his face distorted. His tone was full of arrogance!
“Your relationship with him?” Maxwell flashed a meaningful smile before suddenly grabbing President Gerald’s shirt and landed another slap across his face!
Maxwell had increased his strength this time. President Gerald was almost sent flying as he spat out a mouthful of blood!
“I don’t care what kind of twisted relationship you have with him! You have beaten a woman, so you have no right to say anything…” Maxwell stuck his hands into his pockets as he replied noncommittally. President Gerald was on the floor as he struggled to stand up again. At the same time, he realized that he was unable to do that!
Maxwell had exerted too much force into his slap. He had several broken bones because of that!
The atmosphere in the hall seemed to petrify. Although these big shots were experienced in the ways of the society, they couldn’t control their expressions from becoming aghast! From their conversation, they could deduce that President Gerald was connected to Young Master Sandoval in some way, but Maxwell didn’t even so much as acknowledge that fact at all!
Nobody was able to move a muscle as they stared intently at Maxwell with ragged breathing!
“Stop!”
At that moment, a voice sounded out of nowhere. The commotion instantly died down.
A handsome young man dressed in impeccable suit was walking towards Maxwell from the entrance of the hotel. The other guests voluntarily gave way to him as the young man was illuminated by a massive diamond chandelier which was dangling from the ceiling. The young man had a calm and composed expression his face as he narrowed his eyes. His steps were steady and his aura indicated he was someone well beyond his years.
The guests present immediately became respectful because he was none other than the focus of this banquet! He was Young Master Sandoval from Beijing!
Young Master Sandoval was heading towards Greta at the moment. President Gerald was seething with rage as he glared at Maxwell with a hideous expression on his face.
“Young Master Sandoval, you’re finally here.” President Gerald greeted politely. He wanted to scramble up from the floor but due to his broken bones, he was unable to do that.
“Alright, you can leave now to treat your injuries.” Young Master Sandoval looked at President Gerald briefly before motioning two bodyguards dressed in black to help him to his feet.
The onlookers were mildly surprised when they affirmed that President Gerald was indeed acquainted with Young Master Sandoval. What was the nature of their relationship?
The onlookers were making their own guesses, but none of them could come to any conclusion.
