Serena never expected Xayne to retaliate in such a manner, her cheeks suddenly flushing red."There are so many people here." Serena lightly pushed Xayne away without reproach.The men present were nearly mad with jealousy. They all cried inwardly, questioning why Serena had fallen for such a loser.If it weren't for Serena, who was still present, they might have already beaten Xayne.Xayne's smug expression now was just too arrogant."Serena, you better think it over. This man is nothing but a loser. He can't protect you. You'll regret being with him." Kian's face turned dark, but he couldn't do anything.Just then, Millie Westwood, one of Serena's former close friends, came up and said, "All right, you don't have to rub it in. Why don't you two sit down first?"While leaving this sentence, Millie also gave Kian a meaningful look.Kian realized his outburst, immediately shutting his mouth and welcoming Serena and Xayne to their seats.Soon, Aileen, whom Serena had just met,

At that moment, everyone dancing or chatting under the lights stopped and turned to look at the door.The gaze of those thugs swept across the banquet, quickly spotting Kian, confirming they were in the right place.Then, their leader, a guy with a head of yellow hair, sneered. "Our boss wants a lady to drink with tonight. I want all women here to line up.""I advise you to be sensible, or there'll be consequences. We won't shy away from sending you to the hospital," someone warned.With their iron rods, the thugs banged on the door, smashing it to pieces. Even the windowsills and tabletop glass shattered, causing several female students to scream, covering their ears."Is there no law here? If you want to touch the women here, you must get through us first!"Some impulsive male students stepped forward to act heroic.However, these thugs were seasoned street fighters experienced in alley brawls and had iron rods in hand. The male students who rushed forward to take the lead were

"All right, I'll foot the bill for all expenses today. Consider it my way of making amends to all of you. To those who were just injured, I'll compensate you, too. I hope you can forgive me," Kian declared.Money sure did the trick in this society. Upon hearing Kian's willingness to compensate, those injured students were no longer angry.Moreover, when they heard he was taking on the entire cost of this banquet, any dissent among the students disappeared."Since the boss has spoken, we won't hold back. Waiter, bring us thirty bottles of your finest liquor. Kian here has plenty of cash, right?" Xayne called the waiter over and promptly ordered thirty bottles of premium liquor.The waiter then presented thirty bottles of tribute liquor, each with a hefty price tag, costing thousands per cask."Are you going to finish all that liquor by yourself?" Kian couldn't help but curse.Xayne was simply treating him like a pig to be slaughtered.Xayne sneered, "Didn't you just boast about m

"Oh? Are you folks from the Bowen Ironworks? Hmph, your rundown steel mill is nothing but trash in my eyes!"Today, you hurt my son, and I won't let you leave. Everyone, take them all away. I'll have you all brought back for questioning."With a command from Bernie, a few soldiers slowly advanced to take them into custody."Wait! You have no right to do this!""This has nothing to do with us. You can't just arrest us!"Others struggled to resist, but the soldiers easily knocked them down with a single punch and then subdued them.At that moment, Kian suddenly stepped forward and said, "Wait! Can you spare my classmates? For my sake. My uncle is the president of the Redwaters Chamber of Commerce in the Hampshere.""The Redwaters Chamber of Commerce? One of the eight major chambers in our Hampshere?""So, his uncle is actually the Redwaters Chamber of Commerce president. That's why his multinational trading company skyrocketed in such a short time. It turns out he had his uncle's

"This whole thing is the mess you two stirred up. You sort it out yourselves. The rest of you, come with me," Xayne said, leading the others out of the hotel.The others couldn't believe it was just a false alarm. Upon learning that the Clinton family wouldn't pursue their responsibility, they rushed out the door as if they had regained their freedom.As they walked, they expressed their gratitude to Xayne."Xayne's influence is even greater than Kian's. When Kian released the people, he still owed Bernie a favor, but Xayne made Bernie show him respect outright.""I wonder what that medal is. It made Bernie take it so seriously."Everyone speculated, some vaguely guessing whether Xayne had served in the military before or held a high rank.Xayne didn't want to reveal his identity, so he said, "Actually, this medal is fake. Regular hero medals are silver, but mine is gold.""Really? Yeah, I remember regular hero medals are silver. I didn't expect Bernie to be deceived.""Oh, I t
