Chapter 133 - 132 You’re Playing with Fire 1

Translator: 549690339

A courteous conversation had thoroughly descended into awkwardness.

Atlas Leopold had always been known as a “smiling tiger,” used to mingling in high society with a steady temperament. But now, he couldn’t help but get angry.

“This brother…”

“Who’s your brother!”

Julius Reed lifted his head with contempt and said, “Were you deprived of love as a child? Calling everyone brother? Sorry, but that’s not my thing, and I don’t feel like gaining a brother out of the blue! ”

No sooner had he spoken than Elize Yarrow and Simeon Kensington burst into laughter beside him, dispelling their gloom.

Atlas Leopold finally couldn’t restrain his anger any longer.

As one of the Four Young Masters of the provincial city, who dared to disrespect him?

And today, in front of his fiancée and best friend, he had been humiliated by Julius Reed.

“Don’t go too far!”

“Oh! The way rich people talk really is different! I was here enjoying my meal, and you come over to disturb me and try to acknowledge me as your brother. What’s next, a blood oath?”

Julius Reed pushed his plate and cutlery aside: “If you want to acknowledge kinship, do it yourself!”

Atlas Leopold’s face turned iron blue, and he could not stop trembling.

He had never been spoken to like this in his life!

It was simply unreasonable provocation!

“What’s wrong? My girlfriend and I were enjoying our meal, and you come over to bother us?”

Julius Reed spoke as if he didn’t notice Atlas Leopold’s face turning purple with rage, still being shocking with every word.

“Your girlfriend?”

Upon hearing this, Simeon Kensington couldn’t help but ask.

Among those present, there were only himself and Elize Yarrow. Where did this girlfriend come from?

“Elize, come sit with me!”

In front of Atlas Leopold, Julius Reed beckoned to Elize Yarrow: “Now that we’ve established our relationship, why the awkwardness!”

From the earlier conversation, he knew Elize Yarrow was very unhappy with her arranged marriage to Atlas Leopold.

She had even argued with her family about it.

By using Elize Yarrow to slap Atlas Leopold’s face, he wasn’t sure if this girl would cooperate.

But little did he expect that not only did Elize Yarrow play along, she acted like an Oscar-winning actress!

“Darling, that was really scary just now!”

Elize Yarrow seductively walked over to Julius Reed and delicately sat on his lap.

“Thank goodness you were here, otherwise I really wouldn’t know what to do!”

With that, she buried her head in Julius Reed’s chest, acting just like a couple indulging in sweet nothings.

This not only took Simeon Kensington by surprise but also Julius Reed himself.

This woman was playing for keeps!

He had never been this close to Quella Radcliffe!

But now, he couldn’t push her away or not push her away! Having been the one who spoke, he had to silently bear it.

“You!”

Seeing his fiancée sitting in another man’s arms, Atlas Leopold was about to explode with rage.

Although he did not like Elize Yarrow, she was after all his fiancée in name. As a man, he could not tolerate the humiliation of being cuckolded!

“Ha! Young Master Leopold, what’s this about?”

Just then, a young man wearing a gold chain came over, with a cigar held between his fingers: “Do you need the brothers to back you up?

The newcomer was one of Atlas Leopold’s tablemates, a prominent young man from another province named Haddon Michael.

In his early twenties, he sported short hair, sunglasses, a chunky gold chain around his neck, and a mink coat over his shoulders.

“Brother Michael, this is a family matter of mine, and Leopold can handle it!” Atlas Leopold did not want this humiliating affair to become widely known.

Even though everyone had seen it, not speaking of it was another matter.

But Haddon Michael clearly did not intend to stand idly by.

“Kid! The woman in your arms is Young Master Leopold’s woman. Even if he grows tired of her one day, you damned well can’t touch her!”

The matter with Elize Yarrow was well-known among Atlas Leopold’s friends.

So they were not polite when they spoke.

It’s just a bit of fun, what’s the difference from an object?

“I’m talking to you!”

Seeing Julius Reed unmoved, Haddon Michael chuckled and said, “Kid, you’re interesting!”

With that, he extended the cigar over Reed’s head, ready to flick the ash off.

Snap!

But before he could flick his finger, Reed’s hand shot out like lightning, snapping one of Michael’s fingers clean off! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Damn it…”

The agonizing pain surged in an instant.

But it was clearly not over yet; seizing the moment, Reed caught the falling cigar and stuffed it directly into Michael’s mouth!

“Mmm…”

The lit cigar met the tongue, and the pain was so intense that Michael couldn’t speak, kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.

By the time he managed to dig the cigar out of his mouth, tears were already streaming down his face from the pain.

He had intended to show off, but instead, he was humiliated.

“What’s going on!”

Seeing trouble, a group of young men immediately walked over.

“Mr. Michael, what happened!”

They hadn’t expected that the combined efforts of Atlas Leopold and Haddon Michael wouldn’t have settled things, so they hadn’t bothered to look this way during the meal.

Who would have thought that one of the four big young masters of the provincial capital would be humbled in their own territory! And the domineering Haddon Michael was now sobbing loudly.

“I… he…

Michael tried to speak but couldn’t utter a word.

His tongue was scorched by the burning cigar, and now even exposure to the air was painful, let alone speaking.

“You’re dead meat!”

Regardless, today’s host was Atlas Leopold!

Michael was a young northern master, and now he had been injured on Leopold’s property; it was a hard situation for Leopold to explain! “Rafferty! Bring some guys over!”

After taking out his phone, Atlas Leopold called his subordinate Rafferty.

Today the other party had made him lose face, so he had no choice but to take harsh measures!

After all, with so many other Masters watching, if he couldn’t handle it properly, Atlas Leopold might as well not bother trying to run things here in the future.

“Young Master Leopold, can you handle it? This guy seems pretty wild!”

The other well-off young men stuffed their hands into their pockets, eyeing Julius Reed with great interest.

In their memory, it seemed no one had ever dared to be so bold.

“Sister! ”

At this moment, Simeon Kensington’s brother also rushed over with his men.

“Young Master Leopold ! ”

Seeing Atlas Leopold, he couldn’t help but pause and then casually asked, “What are you doing here?”

“Is this your sister?”

After sizing her up, Atlas Leopold said, “Take her away! I’ll give the Kensington Family face today, but if there’s a next time, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Although she was from the Kensington Family, this branch was not the core of the Kensington Family.

The real core was the martial arts school built by Theodore Kensington and others, which had a great reputation in the Five-river Province.

But after all, she was part of the Kensington Family, and since she hadn’t said much the whole time, Atlas Leopold naturally didn’t want to make things difficult.

“Yes! Thank you, Young Master Leopold!”

After thanking Atlas Leopold, the Kensingtons hurried off.

Before leaving, Simeon Kensington gave Elize Yarrow and Julius Reed a worried glance.

They had offended Atlas Leopold, after all!

“Called for backup? Coward! Call everyone you can, bring them all!”

Julius Reed shook his head and said to Elize Yarrow in his arms, “Wine, please!”

“Right away!”

Elize Yarrow, not caring about Atlas Leopold’s murderous gaze, handed Reed a

cup of wine, even going so far as to play with a shared drinking cup.

“Tsk! You’re playing with fire! ”

Reed warned her quietly, but it had no effect.

At this moment, Elize Yarrow was too deep in her role!
