Path to Glory

Chapter 2

Brandon Lee left the meeting room with his anger still boiling inside him, at that moment he immediately realized that all eyes were now on him.

All Turner Group employees suddenly stopped their work, the commotion in the meeting room seemed to be heard outside.

"Ignore me," Brandon Lee said to them all.

One of them, suddenly stood up from his desk. It was Ryan Turner, Ariana's brother and one of the directors there.

Brandon Lee raised his eyebrows when Ryan suddenly approached him, remembering how Ryan had treated him so far, immediately made Brandon understand that something unpleasant was about to happen.

"Brandon, are you happy now?"

Brandon looked at Ryan indifferently, he did not understand what Ryan was talking about so he chose to ignore it.

"Pretending not to hear, huh? Did the house and $5 million really make you happy, so you can't wait to get out of here after causing a mess?"

Brandon looked at Ryan in silence. The man seemed to have misunderstood.

"The money and house you're talking about, I didn't accept them. You can go in and ask your sister if you don't believe it," said Brandon, he was lazy to entertain Ryan and wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

"Nonsense, don't think I'll just believe it! Refusing to accept it? I'm more inclined to believe that you demanded greater compensation from my sister than your nonsense!" exclaimed Ryan Turner.

Ryan Turner's statement received support from the employees. They already knew what kind of one-sided relationship existed between Brandon and the Turner family, where only Brandon benefited.

"He may be the heir to the Lee family, but isn't the Lee family already destroyed long ago?"

"That's right, it doesn't make sense that he would accept the breaking of his engagement so easily without asking for a single penny from Miss Ariana."

"Shameless, even after receiving so much money, he still doesn't want to admit it."

Brandon gritted his teeth, the employees' conversation was completely wrong and he had never taken any advantage from Ariana.

"Believe whatever you want about me, I don't care," said Brandon, he didn't want his anger to explode there and cause an even bigger commotion.

Ryan Turner, who did not believe Brandon's words, immediately stopped him. He was not willing to let Brandon take a single penny of Ariana's money.

"Where do you think you're going? First, return the money my sister gave you, you can't just leave with that money," said Ryan, firmly gripping Brandon's shoulder.

Brandon furrowed his brow, "What are you talking about? I've already told you, I didn't accept it."

Ryan Turner tightened his grip, then said, "Then give back the house key my sister promised you. Don't you dare say you didn't accept that either because I won't believe it."

Brandon sighed deeply, "I really didn't accept it. The breaking of the engagement between your sister and me, we did it without any compensation in the form of money, a house, or other assets."

Ryan Turner swung his fist, Brandon's lies had really made him angry.

Brandon received Ryan's punch in the same place as Ellie's previous slap, causing Brandon to glare at Ryan at that moment.

Brandon felt that what Ellie and Ryan had done had really crossed the line. He was the one who was wronged there, so he should not have received such treatment from the Turner mother and son.

"Why, you bastard? Can't you accept it? Then return everything my sister gave you, you don't deserve to have it!" Ryan shouted with another fist ready to swing at any time. He was very stubborn.

Brandon, still with his sharp gaze, remained silent. He was thinking whether he should continue to restrain himself or not.

Seeing that Brandon did not respond to his words and even glared at him, Ryan without hesitation delivered another punch to Brandon. This caused Brandon to have to take another hard hit from his former brother-in-law.

"Look at me like that again, you bastard! Let me see if you still dare to do it!"

It seemed not satisfied with just two blows, Ryan swung several more punches, he did it as if Brandon was his punching bag.

"You bastard, now hand over the money you took from my brother! Don't you dare think you won't hand it over before you die, because I only need to kill you if you really have that thought!" Ryan shouted breathlessly, he felt tired of beating Brandon who somehow remained unmoved from his position.

Brandon wiped the blood that began to flow from his split lip, he did it calmly as if he did not feel the pain from every punch Ryan swung.

Ryan, who realized this, began to question himself, about whether his punches really had no impact at all so that Brandon could be so calm now.

"Hey, don't pretend. I know you don't want to feel my punches again, so just hand over the money and the house key and get out of here," said Ryan Turner, trying to stay calm.

After being silent for a while, Brandon Lee suddenly showed a significant change in expression on his face. A terrifying grin appeared there, making Ryan and the employees who saw it swallow hard.

"Hey, what's with that smile of yours? Aren't my punches enough to make you realize your situation?" asked Ryan Turner, somehow shuddering at the way Brandon smiled.

Brandon's smile did not last long and was only visible for a moment, the smile was replaced by a expressionless face afterwards, "You've crossed the line."

Ryan Turner was completely unprepared when Brandon suddenly grabbed the collar of his clothes, at the same time, Brandon's other hand swung a punch so powerfully.

Ryan was thrown back just a second after Brandon's fist hit his face, as if the punch was a large stone that came from nowhere.

Unlike when Ryan beat Brandon, which had no impact at all, one of Brandon's punches managed to make Ryan lose consciousness. This made the employees who saw it all rub their eyes.

"Damn, was that even a punch a human could do?"

"Was my eye not deceiving me? Why did it look like a meteor shadow when Brandon swung his fist?"

"Hey, stop talking about that. Shouldn't we be calling the guards now?"

Every Turner Group employee began to feel uneasy and afraid, they remembered having discussed bad things related to Brandon so they didn't want to end up the same as Ryan. Some employees immediately called the company's security guards, asking them to secure Brandon for what he had just done.

"This bastard again? Damn, do you think the Turner Group is a place you can mess around with as you please?" shouted one of the guards angrily.

Several guards who arrived began to prepare to secure Brandon, the person they had previously failed to stop when they first arrived.

Brandon, realizing that several guards wanted to secure him, immediately said with a cold expression on his face, "Come here if you really want me to end up like Ryan."
