Chapter 416
Leoric was annoyed by Eric's insults but didn't dare to act rashly under Kingsley's order.
Leoric could only glare at Eric coldly without saying a word. His lack of response seemed to bolster Eric's confidence as he continued to yell wildly, "Boy, don't tell me you're the one who brought this group of hooligans to liven up the party. How tacky!"
Eric squinted at Kingsley mockingly before bellowing in disdain, "Wouldn't it be more interesting if you at least let them show how to break a boulder with their chest or something?"
As soon as he said that, the audience burst into laughter.
When the guests saw that Leoric didn't even dare to squeak in the presence of Eric, they weren't scared anymore.
All of them started using the opportunity to ridicule him.
"Mr. Yorkshire is right! These are just a group of hooligans who'll never amount to anything worthwhile in their lifetime!"
"That's right! Who even is Boss Nicholson?! He's just a low-ranked bast*rd!"
Leoric and his men were furious when they heard everyone ridiculing them!
They wanted to run over and punch them in their faces!
However, Leoric gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Nicholson, should I call all the men from Sunshine Casino over?! We'll destroy them all!"
"Destroy them all?" Kingsley chuckled. "Are you here to celebrate a birthday party, or are you here to raid a house?"NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
He pointed at the leaders at the main table as he spoke, "Besides, the mayor of Diosna City is sitting right there. Do you want to send Victoria to jail?"
"But… These people are way too cocky!" Leoric growled as his face flushed in anger. "I can't stand listening to them insulting you like this!"
Kingsley patted his shoulder reassuringly.
"There are plenty of clowns like them in society. If you go and beat them up every single time you see one, you'll just end up becoming exhausted. Would you rather watch them perform like jesters or wear yourself out by caring about their opinions?"
Leoric eventually calmed down a little after he listened to Kingsley's advice.
"You're always right, Boss. But… How can we just watch them act so arrogantly? Is there really no way to deal with them?"
"You need to use different methods to deal with different people." Kingsley gave him a faint smile.
"You can fight those who throw the first punch or people who won't back away until they've killed you. However, for people like Eric, a beating won't teach them a lesson. Only by making them fall from their pedestal will they fear you forever!"
Leoric didn't really understand Kingsley's logic, but he nodded anyway. "Boss, you're far more attentive than us boorish men. Don't worry. We'll listen to you!"
While the two of them were talking, Eric was still shouting wildly.
"Nicholson, why are you two whispering amongst yourselves?! Are you planning on how to escape?"
With that, he stood up and went over to Walter and his wife. Eric's tone was filled with annoyance.
"President Hewitt, today was a great day to celebrate Mrs. Hewitt's birthday, but this kid, Nicholson, actually said all this to flatter you and even brought people from the underworld! I think he's purposefully disrupting her birthday party! The Scarlet Heart Group brought him here, and they shouldn't get away with it so easily!"
Will's face immediately turned pale after hearing Eric's words.
Just as he was about to rush forwards and reason with him, Kingsley said lightly, "Mr. Yorkshire, actually, you're wrong. I did say I would bring people over to cheer up Mrs. Hewitt, but I didn't mean this group of men."
"Not them? Then, who did you bring?" Eric sneered. "Don't you think that this is chaotic enough?! Do you really want to ruin Mrs. Hewitt's birthday party?!"
Shortly after those words fell from Eric's lips, there was a commotion at the hall's entrance!
A man strode in proudly, slowly leading several people behind him into the hall! Each of them was dressed to the nines with suits and accessories that were worth hundreds of thousands. It was clear that they were no ordinary folk!
