"B-boss...?" Stunned, the thug grasped his cheek in confusion, unsure why he had been struck for no reason.Dark Ghost just glared at him fiercely before scurrying to Justin's side, bowing deeply with an ingratiating look. "Isn't this Mr. Wilson? I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you earlier and said many rude things. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart. How about I treat you to a meal at The Rain's Pavilion as an apology?"This development left all the onlookers gaping in shock. Even the previously gleeful spectators were stunned speechless now, unable to believe Dark Ghost, a notorious underworld boss, was lowering his head to a young man like this.Bella was also dumbfounded, her phone slipping from her hand as she'd been about to call the police. This was unbelievable. She would never have imagined things unfolding so dramatically. The one who came to deal with Justin was now fawning over him obediently like a child. What kind of charm did he have?Could he really be i
At his rapid orders, the twenty-odd thugs immediately scattered to fulfill their assigned tasks. Soon, the place was cleaned up, broken items and spilled sauces discarded.Before long, a minion came zipping up proudly in a luxury food truck, far nicer than Bella's old cart! Spotless, bright, and sophisticated."Boss, I got the best food truck on the market. The stove and griddle are built-in, so we can make all kinds of snacks here daily to support the uncle and auntie's business. It'll be booming in no time!"Next came the group sent for cookware, tugging a whole cart full of pots, pans, and dishes. Even Bella's family was stunned. Everything happening felt like a dream. Just moments ago, they thought they'd have to close up for days and lose income. Yet now, not only did they have everything needed, but the finest quality too! The sudden reversal was unbelievable, like living in a fantasy."Old man, is this real? I feel like I'm dreaming. Quick, pinch me so I know it's not.""Why do
Scowling, Justin smacked him sharply on the head. "Fuck off with the whining! I treat you to pancakes and soy milk and you complain? You were the ones making a scene about coming here! And who said I was chasing girls? Do I seem like that kind of person?"Tank and Adam exchanged glances and nodded in unison. To them, Justin was clearly a reckless playboy spending a fortune to impress girls. What a scumbag - already had two beauties at home but still chasing outside tail, and now seducing the school belle too! Ruthless. Gorging on meat and not even leaving them the soup!After a while, once Dark Ghost and his gang were fully rested, Justin sent them on their way.With the troublemakers gone, Bella's parents finally approached Justin somewhat apprehensively with their daughter."Young man, we can't thank you enough for your help today. If not for you, those ruffians would have smashed up our shop! And now you've gone to so much trouble and expense for us too - we feel terrible. Please,
"Fuck, Maxwell, you're alive! I thought you'd gone and offed yourself. Thank god you're okay!" Adam theatrically exclaimed upon seeing him.Maxwell thumped Adam's chest and scowled. "What, you were hoping I'd die so you could inherit my five dollar bank balance? You heartless bastards go out eating without me, leaving me to wake up starving in the dorm. Not even saving me some food - so inconsiderate!"With nothing to do stuck in the dorm, the brothers decided to play games. They wanted a 5-man team, but with only 4 in the room, they were short one. Due to Justin's reputation now, none of their other friends wanted to team up, leaving them unable to gather a full roster.Just then, Justin thought of Ellie Adams, a talented jungler. He reached out to invite her to play and boost their rankings. Having agreed to the doctored bus photo before, Ellie hadn't suffered any harassment over it yet and readily accepted. Upon joining their voice chat, she apologized to Justin first, catching him
"How could that be, darling? Even if I wanted to, she'd never look at me. You know my reputation's in tatters now, people shy away when they see me. I only helped that old couple out of pity, not having anything to do with that store renovation - that was compensation from the punks. I really have no one except you two and these three brothers now. You wrong me by saying such things! No hugs today? Then I'll just lie here and not get up!"Justin melodramatically flung himself on the floor. The brothers' jaws dropped at his shamelessness. Some tycoon and esteemed Mr. Wilson he was, now pathetically groveling like a whimpering dog at the first sight of his wife! What happened to dignity and composure?Still sprawled on the floor, Justin kept whining until Mia relented, exasperated but also sympathetic at the immense stress he'd been under lately from the smear campaign. They were furious about it too, itching to clobber that David Green. "Oh, get up already! I'll let it go just this on
"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me explain. Mr. Wilson is actually a good man. The online rumors were just malicious slander intended to tarnish his reputation." Hailey recounted the full story of what transpired at the concert, telling everything just as it happened. She even revealed how Justin had donated money and supplies afterwards, providing some documentation of his charitable contributions, though naturally she did not show anything too important - just a partial list of donated items.Upon seeing this evidence, the online crowd began to believe her story, though many still harbored doubts, thinking Hailey was making up fake information to defend Justin.In any case, most people still refused to believe Justin was a good person, and many continued to criticize him.As Hailey explained everything to the crowd, the drama with Justin continued unfolding.At this moment, Justin was humbly kneeling before David Green, lowering himself as much as possible and behaving li
"No need, Young Master Green. This game is over, and you've lost."Now that victory and defeat were decided, there was no need for Justin to keep up the act. His humiliation earlier was unbearable, and now it was time for him to vent.Just as David Green was still arrogantly threatening Justin, Mia beside him made her move. The sexy beauty directly lifted her long leg and kicked forcefully into David's chest.With a loud slap, the man and his chair flew backwards, crashing into the wall behind with a heavy thud. Mia was no joke with her black belt in taekwondo - if she had wanted David dead, the young master would have met his maker already."You, you guys set me up!"Even an idiot like David now realized he had been toyed with. This was all a trap set by Justin to catch him off guard.But at this point he was still fearless, backed by the entire Green Family, one of the most influential clans in Libertas. A small business owner like Justin trying to oppose the Greens head-on was laug
But before he could finish that thought, Justin slapped him again."Weren't you arrogantly shooting your mouth off earlier? Didn't you say you were going to destroy me? You've spent so long trying to smear my name online, forcing me to hide like a rat while everyone called for my head. I endured it for this long, but after just two slaps from me you can't take it anymore? Let me tell you, if not for the circumstances today, I would have stripped you naked and paraded you through the streets.Remember this: Nova City is my domain. Even if you're a real dragon, you'll coil before me. Even if you're a fierce tiger, you'll lie at my feet. In my domain, I am the true boss."Justin emphasized his point with another punch, knocking Young Master Green unconscious.He then had Blood Wolf drag him aside while he called others in to clean up the room full of dismembered corpses and injured men.When the manager of The Rain's Pavilion saw the carnage filling the room, his face turned ashen. But h
