Chapter 30 - 29 Acting Gone Wrong_l

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Flower Snake’s actions were utterly natural, betraying no hint of premeditation.

According to the original plan, once the red wine was spilled on Julius Reed’s head, a conflict would inevitably ensue.

The Flower Snake’s few underlings were right behind him, ready to take action should a conflict occur.

At that moment, Radley Ridge would step in as the mediator, demanding Julius Reed to bow and apologize.

The script was written perfectly, ensuring not only the humiliation of Julius Reed but also an opportunity for the Flower Snake to showcase his strength to Quella Radcliffe.

However, at the very instant the wine glass left his hand, Julius Reed, who appeared almost comatose from drunkenness, suddenly opened his eyes! He shifted slightly, his right hand shooting out!

The red wine glass, mere centimeters from his head, was now firmly grasped in Julius Reed’s hand!

“Bro, sorry about that, the glass slipped,” Flower Snake said with an awkward smile.

Yet, as he looked at the back of Julius Reed, he couldn’t shake the feeling of familiarity, though he couldn’t pinpoint where he had seen him before. But the mere skill with which the glass was caught forced the Flower Snake to take note.

The information from Radley Ridge was flawed! The man was a practitioner!

Flower Snake made a signal behind his back, and several underlings lurking in the restaurant immediately surrounded them.

“No worries! Thanks for the wine!” Julius Reed said, shaking the wine glass and taking a light sip.

“Pfft!”

The next second, all the red wine in his mouth sprayed onto Flower Snake’s face!

“This is a bit unpleasant to drink, my apologies,” said Julius Reed as he turned around, his face full of mockery.

“You’re fucking asking for it!” The underlings charged forward, their eyes full of menace.

They had been instructed to strike first in the event of a conflict.

“Fuck! You today…”

Flower Snake had dominated this area for years, and no one had ever dared to cause trouble here!

But when he clearly saw Julius Reed’s face, a shiver ran through him! The words on the tip of his tongue were abruptly swallowed back!

The events that had unfolded that afternoon at Azure Percival were something Flower Snake would never forget, even if he turned to ashes!

In an instant, Flower Snake’s mind went blank.

“What’s going on!”

The sudden turn of events left the four elders somewhat dazed.

“You hoodlums, stop causing trouble here!”

Father Ridge, a businessman, intended to suppress the hooligans with his words.

Radley Ridge’s arrangement with Flower Snake to playact was something Father Ridge was unaware of.

“That’s right! Stop your hooliganism here!”

Seeing Father Ridge speak up, Knox Ridge also chimed in from the side.

With Radley Ridge present, everyone felt very confident.

The hoodlums had their orders, ignoring everyone else and focusing solely on hitting Julius Reed.

No matter what anyone else said, they just had to focus on hitting Julius Reed.

They ignored everyone else and rolled up their sleeves, heading toward Julius Reed.

Radley Ridge, hiding in the restroom, watched everything quietly from a distance.

He would intervene only once Julius Reed had been sufficiently beaten.

Flower Snake was a brother of his friend, and the two had met over drinks after Flower Snake returned to the country.

Radley Ridge had not expected that Flower Snake would be of use so soon.

The thought of Julius Reed begging on his knees after the beating brought a sneaky thrill to Radley Ridge’s heart.

Flower Snake knew he had caused a huge trouble.

Ever since that afternoon’s incident, his heart still hadn’t settled. However, his gang of hoodlums had no clue about the situation!

“You’re fucking asking for it!”

“Dare to spray our brother? We’re going to dismantle you today!”

“I really want to see just how capable you are…”

Before the man could finish, Flower Snake violently grabbed his arm from behind, hurling him away!

“Brother! ”

Smack!

Another hoodlum hadn’t even comprehended what was happening when he too was slapped away by Flower Snake.

“Bro, what’s this about…”

Everyone was stupefied!

Flower Snake’s response completely exceeded their expectations!

Flower Snake couldn’t care less about that.

He stood before Julius Reed like a child who had done wrong, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Offending a friend of Aron Jackson meant that even ten lives wouldn’t be

enough to save him!

“Know what to do now?”

Julius Reed casually fiddled with the wine glass on the table, asking in a nonchalant manner.

“Got it!”

Flower Snake kept nodding, cursing Radley Ridge countless times in his heart.

This son of a bitch!

He’s trying to get me killed!

“What are you two whispering about? Sure enough, none of you are any good!” Father Ridge, seeing Julius speaking in low tones, assumed the two knew each other.

He despised these uneducated hoodlums the most and didn’t hide his disdain in his tone.

“What the fuck did you just say?”

Flower Snake’s eyes widened as he grabbed Father Ridge by the collar with one hand.

“I’m warning you! This is a restaurant!”

Mother Ridge was sufficiently scared by this sudden turn of events. As businesspeople, they were not accustomed to such things and panicked instantly.

“Exactly! We’ve called the police!”

Although Father Ridge was trembling with fear, he still talked tough.

“Then try it!”

Flower Snake grabbed a fork from the table and pressed it against Father Ridge’s throat.

“Don’t mess around! We’ll give you anything you want!”

Mother Ridge, seeing the other party with a knife, panicked and didn’t know what to do.

She instinctively opened her purse and took out a stack of money, “We’ll give you money, just let him go first!”

These days, it was all about the money, and she didn’t want her husband to be harmed in any way.

“Take your damn money and get lost!”

Flower Snake slapped the cash out of Mother Ridge’s hand, scattering it into the air.

His eyes shifted as if he had a great idea.

Wasn’t Radley Ridge trying to make things difficult for Julius? He could turn the tables and give Radley a taste of his own medicine!

If Julius was pleased, he might suffer less!

Thinking of this, without more ado, he backhanded Father Ridge across the face!

Smack!

In the crisp sound, Father Ridge was sent sprawling across the aisle of the restaurant.

Flower Snake pulled out all the stops to show off in front of Julius.

“Boss! There’s a fight here!”

Mother Ridge quickly stood up and ran over to check on Father Ridge’s injuries.

Due to the heavy blow, one side of Father Ridge’s face was completely swollen, and his mouth was oozing blood.

“What’s going on here!”

The restaurant manager arrived with several security guards.

“This man here! He’s assaulted my husband and caused serious injury right in your restaurant. You need to give me an explanation today!”

Mother Ridge saw the security coming and immediately became very assertive. “If you don’t give me an explanation today, wait for your restaurant to be shut

down!”

They were considered upper class, with assets worth tens of millions at home, used to bossing people around; they had never faced such a situation before. “Yeah, what’s going on with this restaurant! Letting in any kind of people!”

Seeing Mother Ridge lose her temper, Knox Ridge joined in to stir things up.

“Fatso Declan, if you don’t want trouble, you better stay the hell away from me!”

Flower Snake waved his hand, and his cronies immediately moved in.

“I’ll explain this to your boss,” he said.

“Brother Snake, this…

Declan Martin stood there, not sure what to do next.

The restaurant owner and Flower Snake had some relationship, so he was in a difficult position standing there.

“What’s wrong with you! I’m going to file a complaint!”

Mother Ridge saw that the security guards didn’t move and immediately flew into a rage.

“Sis, don’t worry. I’ll get justice for you!” Knox Ridge patted her chest, stood up, and was about to argue with Declan Martin.

But…

Smack!

Before she could speak, Flower Snake, in front of the security guards, slapped Mother Ridge to the ground! And in his eyes, there was a full intent to kill!

“Ignorant fools!”
