Apparently, Nicholas was terrified and furious when the ruffian was complaining about Skylar. So, he violently slapped the man in his face as he yelled, âShut your damn mouth up!âNicholasâ expression turned pale and was trembling in fear when that happened.It was a far cry from the calm and composed man he presented himself to be just moments ago.It turned out that he was present during Dudleyâs birthday five years ago, so he obviously knew just how terrifying of a man Skylar was. He could not believe that the ruffian was bold enough to offend Skylar. He was not pleased that the ruffian managed to drag him into the same mess with him.âMr. Wexler, whyâ¦â The ruffian asked while cradling his stinging cheek.Obviously, Nicholas was in no mood to be bothered to deal with him. So, Nicholas nervously approached Skylar with a smile and said, âMr⦠Mr. Stone, there must be some sort of misunderstanding here, right?âNicholas gave Skylar a polite bow which shocked everyone present at the moment.âWhat⦠Whatâs going on?ââI canât believe Mr, Wexler was treating Nathanielâs son so politely.âAll of the protestors that were just moments ago worried for Nathaniel and Skylar were incredibly shocked at the situation. The ruffians were also speechless by the situation as well.Although Nicholas was new to the real estate industry, the properties he owned were worth billions and still held quite the reputation in the city. This was exactly why the ruffians were so arrogant. However, they were all baffled when Nicholas was being so polite to the son of one of the protestors. âA misunderstanding?â
Skylar glared at Nicholas. This made Nicholas worried as he nervously apologized. âI⦠Iâm really sorry, Mr⦠Mr. Stoneâ¦âHe decided to apologize to Skylar regardless of what really happened.However, Skylar did not let him off the hook just because he was polite to him, so he questioned. âSo, is that man working for you?ââIâ¦âBefore Nicholas could finish his sentence, Skylar gave him a few tight slaps across his face.Nicholasâ cheeks were instantly imprinted by Skylarâs palm print as he coughed out a puddle of blood. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that he had also spat out some teeth.âHe was bold enough to threaten my fatherâs life and yet here you are asking me if this was a misunderstanding? If I didnât make it in time, my dad wouldâve already perished under his metal rod!â Skylar glared menacingly at Nicholas as he said that.Hearing this made Nicholas even more nervous as his entire back was drenched in cold sweat.Suddenly, Nicholas knelt down in front of Skylar and begged for mercy. âPlease forgive me, Mr. Stone. I didnât know that your father is one of the property owners here! If I had known this sooner, I wouldâve hosted him tremendously well and wonât dare refuse any demands he wanted!ââThisâ¦âNicholasâ reaction had once again shocked everyone present. They were all baffled as they stared at Skylar.They knew that Nicholas was an extremely wealthy man and his polite gesture toward Skylar was enough to shock everyone. However, they were surprised when Nicholas was begging for his life after he was slapped by Skylar. This made them wonder if Skylar was hiding some terrifying secrets about his identity.
